FUND STARTED FOR
DENTAL INFIRMARY
Omaha Banker Gives 81 ,000-Many
Children Are Treated Each
Saturday Morning,
NOTICEABLE HELP is NOTED

DR.. William L. Shearer, member Of
a group OF local dentists who are
holding dental clinics every Saturday
morning at Creighton Dental college
for the benefit OF school children,
stated he received from an Omaha
banker tentative offer to give $1,000
toward the establishment OF a perma-
nent dental inhrmary where children
with defective teeth may be corrected
without charge.
Our vision is to get an endowment
for an institution which will be worth
while, something like Boston has.
What Boston can do, Omaha can
do stated the doctor
The management of Creighton
Dental college is furnishing the space
and equipment and the following dem
lists are devoting their time and ser
vices 10 this public work: F. +. Whit

Have Treated One Thousand.
Since this movement was started
two months ago, 1000 boys and girls
have been treated. Yesterday l25
were attended. The nurses of the
schools make the observations OF the
childrcn's mouths and send them TO
the college.
1T is a wonderful work, more so
than the public yet appreciates. You
would be surprised to know the ex-
tent ot the physical and mental de-
hcicncy caused by defective teeth. AL
ready we have had occasion Ia OBJ
serve the effects on children we have
treated said DR., Shearer.
he doctor explained that about
5000 would start the proposed
public dental iufirmafy ON
small, but practical scale, with the
hope that the work thus accom-

GERMANS INSIST
 WARSPITE SUNK
Uninterrupted Fighting for Y Hours sailors Say, Without Stop to Eat German Submarines Played An
 Important Part in Battle.

Berlin June by Wireless to Sayville -The assertion that the British dreadnaught was sunk in the North Sea battle last week is again made, notwithstanding British denials. in dispatches from kiel to the Overseas News Agency
 These dispatches state that the WaPspite was sunk during the day battle by the German Dattleship koenig," the news agency says. Tt was observed from the kOenig that the Warspite had been badly dam aged. then there came a great eXplo- sion. and the Marspite sank rapidly
 Survivors from the German cruiser Elbing says that the German submarines played an important part in the battle. The sea was thrown into commotion by falling shells. Everywhere bodies were floating
 Sailors state that the report that the German ships fled are ridiculous. In the German fleet were several vessels which were slower than the BRi.iittiisssi;, and eH that account il would have been impossible for the Ger man fleet to escape if the result of the battle had been such as to place the British in a position to pursue the Germans.
 The sailors report that there was uninterrupted fighting for seventeen hours. They had no food in that time except that bread was passed around once. The sailors are in good condition and do not look like men who passed through the great est naval battle ever fought
 The extent and character of the German victory off Jutland are es- timated apart by the German re- ports The British admissions of losses show more than 100000 tons of main units, compared with some 1i000 by the Germans. The British losses. moreover, involved some of the most modern ships. while the only really modern German war ship lost was the small Weisbaden On the advice of further detail. na- val officials are sure that the victory way due to superior German stra- tegy seamanship and in no small degree to air scouts.

MORE SOUTHERN HISTORY.

 In view of the fact that all things nearly relating to the Davis family have become Southern history. l take the liberty of correcting few mistakes that 1 find in Dr. Lively s fine letter.
 Mr. and Mrs. Davis were warm personal friends of my family since my earliest memory. 1 grew up with the Davis children in Memphis, Tenn. We entered society together our friends were the same, so know whereof l speak" Mr. and Mrs. Davis came to Memphis in 1876 to make their home. They had three children. They lost one. Joe, in Richmond, and Margaret, the eldest in 1876 married Addison Hays ol Memphis. His health failing, they moved to Denver, Colo.

 the Mound Valley Journal. Labette county, Kansas. soon after he To-
 cated near Old Cove. and hows how
 fair minded, conservative man
 sizes up Polk county.
 Editor Mound Valley Journal: With your permission 1 will re- deem my promise to many old
 friends in Mound Valley and vicin- ity to let them know what thought of my new home. We are perfectly satisfied with our new home. and if we could only move a lot of the people we know from
 there down here, we would be more
 than delighted with it.
 This country Is not a level plain
 by any means. neither Is 1t as rough as most people think. It Is situated
 here in cove surrounded by high mountains on every side. The soil
 Is a sandy gravel. while not the rich est in the world. yet if grows most
 of the crops grown iii the temperate zone with astonishing regularity. Take corn for instance. 1 have made it a point to ask nearly every
 one l come in contact with. without regard Co sex. age OF color, and they
 all unite in saving that such a thing
 as total failure of corn is almost unknown. One old man raised here
 said he could only recall two fail-
 lres from back in the eos to the present time. All the fruits and vegetables grow here to perfection Cotton of course grows good, and at
 the prices this year is a paying crop
 Some land that has been in cuitiya-
 tion for generation or two, is yielding la bale to the acre, which means that it produced S35 or Si0 per acre. You can raise a crop of wheat CT oats and a crop of corn the
 same year My nearest neighbor gathered a crop of good corn. plant
 ed on his wheat land.
 We have plenty of good water lots of range. an abundance of tim- ber and nice clever people to live among. While We love Kansas none | the less. we love Arkansas the more because of the opportunities she still offers for the securing of good cheap homes. Happy homes are the only sure foundation for the re- public and free institutions; and without which progress or the sO-
 eial moral or spiritual uplift of mankind is impossible. This being true. l believe it a public service t0 | dO all l can to locate as many DeO- 1 pie as possible here in Polk county.
