MUST MOVE ITS WIRES
Burlington Traction Company
Given until July 1.
Public service Commission Finds High
tension Power Transmission Line
TOO Near Western Union wires
south of Burlington.

The Vermont Public Service Commission
has announced its decision In tho case
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany vs. the Burlington Traction COM
pany. ordering the latter company 10
separate before July the line of poles
of eighteen sections of its high tension
limo extcndinr about eleven miles between
Queen city Park and Ferrisburg TO
minimum, distance of 20 feet from the
lines of poles of the Western Union Tcle-
graph company parable, thereto On the
west side OF the railroad track or as
an alternative, cease from transmitting
high tension current over said eighteen
sections after said date until such separa-
ton is made. This decision was based
on the finding that the maintenance and
operation Of these sections of the high
tension line of the Burlington TraCtion
company with a voltage OF 1900 volts
at the proximity which exists between
them and the Western Union telegraph
lines adjacent thereto constitutes an
cvcr-rrcscnt danger which should he
eliminated. and that the separation of
the lines OF poles above mentioned would
eliminate the danger in the most reason
able and feasible manner If both lines
arc to continue in operation. The Western
Union Telegraph company was repre-
scented by w. II. G. Stickney. and the
Burlington Traction company by George
w. Stone and A. G.. Whttcmorc. Follow

the order is based;

OF SECONDARY IMPORTANCE.

Bashfulness is not one of George
Cdhan's failings. This fact is read
lily admitted by the successful young
actor-manager. st is not we'll to be
too difident," he says, and relates q
story to illustrate that it isn't. 1t
appears that a friend of Mrs. Cohan's
lived in one of the big apartment
houses and had a colored maid named
Betty. Betty's very best young man
called on her one Sunday evening
not long ago, fully determined, as it
was learned later, to propose, but he
could not get his nerve up sufficiently
to do so, and after the usual evening
gossip, he went away with the i'm
p~ortant question still unasked. Of
course as soon as he had left the lady
of his alteration, the fear came over
him that if he waited another week
it would be fatal to his chances. The
idea occurred to him to propose by
telephone. He called up the apart
ment where Betty lived. The girl
answered, and although he evidently
recognized her voice, he wanted to be
very sure, for Betty's mistress heard
her reply: "Yeh-as, this is Betty"
There was a long and interrupted
talk from the other end of the wire;
and the mistress, in an adjoining
room, could see the maid at the
phone, and saw her smile happily.
Presently Betty said: "Why. cert'nly,
of co.'s I'll marry yo' honey, cert'nly.
Er--er-what's de name Of the gen1e-
man who's speakin'?"

CONGRESS o
EXPOSITION.

Every loyal Mississippian was de-
lighted to see that the Centennial
Exposition had received National en-
dorsement by act OF Congress in or
dering the immense government ex-
hibit at San Francisco and San Diego
transferred to Gulfport and APPROX
Rating $4,000 for housing and
carrying for it. This act gave to u
exposition the stamp of National ap-
prevail.
This tremendous exhibit covers a
great range of subjects and is so
highly educational in character that
it might well be considered an ex-
position in itself well worthy of
travelling many miles to visit. A
building with not less than 5000
feet of floor space will be required to
accommodate it and a solid train win
be necessary for transportation.
1t is confidently expected that
within a short time announcement
can be made that several foreign
countries will have accepted the in
vitation of President Wilson to par
tlcipate, and that the Exposition will
be to a great extent international in
character. Plans to this end are be-
ing put into execution with the antic-
ipation of favorable results.
Mississippi is a great state. peo-
pied by a great citizenship and is en-
titled to a representation second to
none. despite the fact that there are
some who have a doubt as to our
ability to design and place into exc
cutlon an exposition that will be a
credit to the state and nation.
The earnest interest and
ton of all Il people will make of
this the greatest event in the CEN
fury and a fitting celebration of an
hundred years since admission TO
statehood. That this interest and
cooperation will be given. | am en-
tirely confident.

on the poorest clay hills of Marshall
county; hills that in other days were
quilted and turned out as worthless
lands. These things have been made
possible, according to my way of
thinking and seeing, by grading, ter
racing and diversifying, or in other
words by the proper thing at the
proper time.
At four p. m. we returned to the
dairy barn. We found there at this
time twenty cows which were bought
over the country as ordinary cows.
Mr.. Ames stated that he made n clear
profit of $4,000 on an average on
these cows a year. At this time we
made our second visit to the packing
house and ate a lunch which was
served by the good ladies.
We were then driven over the
beautiful city of Holly Springs by
the auto n of that city, and we
shall never forget them for their
kindness. We specially enjoyed the
drive through the park, which is
beautiful beyond description.

Experiment Station were greatly
benefited and that those who did

COUNTY HOSPITAL WOULD
SAVE PEOPLE MONEY.
The Convenience and the Business Of Treating Patients in Home
Hospital Discussed by Drs. Rogers and Young-A
Matter Worthy of Serious Consideration.

Editor Sentinel:-I have been in
correspondence lately with DR.. L. 8
Rogers, of Jackson, the efficient Su.
Iperintendent of the State Charity
!, Hospital, and an all-round good citi.
zen, in regard to a Cooperative Hos
pital for Grenada. AS a member OF
the legislature, DR.. Rogers worked
necessarily for several years to get
the State to build a Charity Hospital,
and he now sees the fruits of his eff
forts and others, in that splendid and
useful institution, "The State Char
ity Hospital" where so many indi-
gent and sick people of Mississippi
are getting free treatment for their
ills. l have long thought that Gre
NADIA ought to have a small hospital,
and as the days go by l see more and
more the necessity for it. So many
of our people need such treatment
as can only be had in a hospital, and
yet are not financially able to pay
the prices charged in city hospitals.
The cooperative hospital of which
DR.. Rogers writes, will solve the
problem. l appeal to the good wom-
en- of Grenada county who are al
ways foremost in every good work,
to the Civic League, to all Federated
Clubs, to the Kings Daughters, to
the U. D. C's, to the Canning Club
Girls, to all philanthropic people in
Grenada county and to all the physi-
clans in the county, let us all pull
together and get this hospital. We
a have it if we will. 1t is an insti-
tuition badly needed and will be a
lasting benefit to the whole county.
No n can give any good reason for
not having one, but on the other
hand a number of good reasons can
be cited for it's establishment. Let
US in addition to having "good roads"
and other necessary improvements,
also have a small hospital with mod
crate fees, where our people of mod
crate means can get their sick cared
for as well as in any large city hos
pital.
ask that you give space to the
following letter from DR.. Rogers,
who knows what he is talking about
and whose judgment and enthusiasm
knows no bounds.
Sincerely,
j. W. YOUNG, M. d.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1916-09-22

an ideal place for a hospital of this
kind. The idea is a cooperative
plan where physicians of a town o,
"a. mr. unity can have their patient.
needing hospital attention, carried
and get hospital service at cost. Tn.
matter Of a fee is left with the ply.
sician and patient as in private prac.
tice.
The cost of private sanitariums
are beyond the reach of a large class
of people, but on the cooperative
cost plan, there are very few people
that cannot take advantage of a COM
munity hospital. 1t takes an average
of SIS to defray the expenses of a
patient to and from the Charity Hos
| pital in Jackson. The average stay
in the hospital is about fifteen days
less in private sanitariums. We see
that the cost of defraying the charity
patient from Grenada county will
about pay the expense of his stay in
a home s~anitarium at the reduced
rates to be obtained on a co-opera-
tive plan.
An institution of this kind has
been organized and ready to begin
business in Lexington, Miss, about
the twentieth of this month. They
have placed the rate at $1.25 per
day. This will be about $3.50 per
week. The average cost of most
sanitariums is about $25 per week.
1t is more than probable that when
normal times are restored that the
cost of sanitarium charges on CO.
operative basis will not be over Sc or
81 per week.
The Natchez Hospital had an ar
rangement with nearby parishes in
Louisiana, to take care of their pa
tients at 81 per day. This including
not only hospital services but medical
and surgical services too.
1t is very evident that hospital SER
vices, on the cooperative plan, can
be given for this amount. The ex-
penses all told at the State Charity
Hospital at jackson, is less than 81
per day. So much for the cost of
maintenance.
The fact that you can give this aid
to the people of your town and
county or such a reduced basis
should appeal to every one. And the
fact that it will enable many people
who are now taking advantage of the
charity of the state, to take care of
themselves is another very strong
argument for the local hospital.
Many, if not all of the counties of
the state are now supporting a poor
house and farm to take care of its
INDECENT sick at an expense of over
500 per month. If this amount
was turned yer to a local hospital,
with the understanding hat the sick
requiring the county's attention
should be cared for, it will to a large
extent pay the running expenses of a
local hospital.

WRITES OF VISIT
TO HOLLY SPRINGS

train which left Grenada at 7:OC
o'clock, q. m, Sept. 14th reached
Holly Springs about $3.50 q. M, thus
delivering a goodly number of far.
mers and business men of Grenada,
Yalobusha, Lafayette and Marshall
counties.
We were then met by the auto
owners of that city and carried out
to the Holly Springs Experiment,
Station. On reaching the Expert
ment Station, we were entertained
by the Station Agent, Mr.. Ames,
who is not only a thoroughly edu-
Gated man in regard to books, but
he is also a practical man, who does
things, or in other words practices
what he breaches"
Mr.. Ames first carried US to the
dairy barn where he gave us some
very necessary information in regard
to building and running a dairy. We
then started on a journey throughout
the farm. Mr.. Ames being the lead
ing man, and wherever he thought
it necessary he stopped and gave adj
vice and made explanations concern
ing things.
l will now give in rotation some Of
the things we saw on the farm:
We saw a concrete silo being
filled, which holds 100 tons; an up
to-date barn filed with various kinds
of hay; corr looking upward of rs
tons of silage per acre; velvet beans
by the wholesale; the best way of
raising and grazing hogs, and a per-
manent hill pasture, which equals the
lowland pasture in every way and
surpasses it in some ways. Just here
we came to the cotton patches and
everybody seemed to be at home,
and more so after having examined
q few stalks of cotton and finding
"Mr. Boil Weevil." This cotton will
possibly make a bale per acre. There
were something like twenty varieties
of cotton on the farm, making it pos
sible for those who go there to see
for themselves the best varieties I'M
der the same method of cultivation.
While Mr.. Ames was advising and
explaining, also inoculating our
minds with knowledge worth while
concerning cotton, we heard the toll
ing of the dinner bell which had a
tendency to draw us over to the
packing house where a delicious din
ner was served by the ladies of that
neighborhood. We all enjoyed the
dinner very much and some Of US
might have Jagged just a little when
leaving time came.
In the afternoon we followed Mr..
Ames very closely. We saw sor-
ghum with twenty-five or thirty tons
of silage per acre, many varieties OF
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, Grim
son clover sowed in cotton land, the
value of crimson clover demonstrated
in many places, and alfalfa patches
in good condition.
All of the above mentioned things
have been done and are being done

The advantages of hospital care
for a large majority of the sick peo-
pie needs hardly to be mentioned, so
well understood is this phase of the
subject. Bedside diagnosis and drug
treatment are pretty nearly obsolete,
and the modern diagnosis of disease
is a question of laboratories, and
that treatment has to do with diet,
physical therapy and good nursing.
The training and teaching of the
doctors and nurses in their commun-
ity is a very important part of its
duty. Its example in sanitation, in
hygiene and in intoxicating good
habits of living, in a use of good
foods-these are all important parts
of the duty of a hospital to a COM
munity.
The cooperative plan has worked
we'll in railroads and in large manu-
featuring concerns. such as cotton
mills, saw mills, etc, so why not in a
community Of people?
The cost to open up a hospital of
this kind need not be great. In
nearly all towns of 1000 and more
inhabitants there is a large dwelling
or other building that can be gotten
at a reasonable rent that can be cas-
lily fitted up for this purpose. Where
a building of this kind IAN be had,
$1,000 will fit it up with Is to 20
beds, including all other absolutely
needed material to start the hospital.
All absolutely charity patients
should be SEN to the state institu-
tons where they are provided for,
and every patient entering a local
hospital should be required to pay
his proportion of the maintenance.
With the city and county giving the
aid it already is doing, the plan is as
sured of success, and a burden of a
large taxation for the extension of
charity hospitals rendered
sary.
The hospital habit is growing with
the people all the time on ccou of
the recognized benefits to be derived
therefrom, and as a large number
of people are lot able to go to pri-
vate sanitariums, they ask the char
ity of the state, which they would
not do if they were offered good SER
vices at a reasonable price, in a local
hospital. 1t may not be out of place
to say that every denomination and
local fraternal orders entered hear
tily into the plan and co-operated to
establish the hospital in Lexington.
| will state furthermore that two
physicians of that place are o tax
ing special work in large hospitals to
fit themselves for the work of the
hospital that is to be started in that
town at an early date.
Thanking you for your careful
consideration of this matter, | am
Your friend,

Supt. State Charity Hospital.
