VISITING NURSE SPOILED
uNOERTAHER'S BUSINESS
Voted Against Her in Town
Meeting-She Stopped His
Baby Funerals

Buyers Of Red Cross Christina,
Seals which help to raise funds to
maintain visiting nurses, will be in
terestcd in story told by Miss Fanny
F. Clement, of Washington, d. c..
Superintendent of the Town and
Country nursing Service of the
American Red Cross
Miss Clement states that visiting
nurse had worked with great sueces.
in a mining town in the West, when
suddenly she was informed that her
services would no longer be requir-
ed.
She discovered that at meeting a
majority of the town board had voted
to withdraw financial support.
She was mystihed by this action.
until sh. came to inquire who had
east their votes against her and what
their reasons were for doing so.
One of the majority voters was an
undertaken who stated in meeting
that since the arrival Of the nurse
his business in babies funerals had
fallen of so that he was doing prac-
ticalv nothing in this line. Another
owned an unsanitary barn noEt to
the .choolhouse. The barn had Seen
torn down after the nurse explained
the danger to the community. The
third owned property which was not
connected with the sewerage systen,
but which tho law required should be
connected. The nurse was striving.
with the support Of the town to en-
force the law.
1t pays to support nurse who
helps to put the undertaken out of
business. Red Cross Seals save ba-
bies' lives through the support of tu-
berculosis visiting nurses.

THE RED CROSs-wHY?

A branch of the American Red
Gross will be organized in Ohio Coun-
ty this week.
Those interested in the movement
are DESTROYS that this he county
wide organization, and those who
are unable to be present when the
society is put in operation are ask
ed ia hesnnie members .laterv.-.-Ho~-
ever, il is hoped that those who in
tend becoming member. of the organ
ization will do so by Christmas eve,
as Il is planned to add 10000, 600
names to the Red Cross rolls by that
time.
When you join the Red Cross you
shoulder a musket," so to speak,
against that fiend who sits enthron-
ed at Berlin-that murderer of babes,
who still believes he can make the
world do his will and make Ameri-
cans his slaves as he has made TIL.
Belgians his slaves.
When you join the Red Cross you
are doing your bit toward making
comfortable our boys at the front.
When you join the Red Cross you
are doing your bit toward relieving
the starving thousands in Europe,
clothing the innocent children, and
relieving suffering in every conceiy-
able form.
When you join the Red Cross it
does not necessarily mean that you
will have to take active part in the
many things done by the local chap
ter. Simply pay one dollar for mem
bership fee for year 1918, and then
show the world that your heart is in
the right place by wearing a Red
Cross button.
The cost of the Red Cross member
skip is only 800 and that will make
you member in good standing dur
ing the year 1918, and the cost is so
low that there is no excuse for any
one not becoming a member.
We believe Ohio county is just as
patriotic as any county in the State,
and other counties are supporting
this most worthy organization. Sure
ly Ohio will.
Besides having more than one hun
dred boys at Camp Zachary Taylor,
Ohio county boasts a volunteer COM
pany of as noble a bunch of boys as
ever donned the khaki, and when you
contribute that dollar TO the Red
Gross you are giving that much to-
ward the welfare of these boys.

HONORABLY DISCHARGED.

Capt. u. W. Ford, who recently
entered the Medical Reserve Corps
of the National army, and was assign
ed for duty to the Provisional Base
Hospital at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia,
has received an honorable discharge
from military service, and arrived
home Tuesday. Capt. Ford's first
knowledge Of his discharge was con-
tanned in the following telegram:
Washington, 1883 p. m, Dec. SIT.
Commanding Officer, Provisional Base
Hospital, FIT, Oglethorpe, Ga.
Order made this date relieving
Captain Edward w. Ford. Medical
Reserve Corps, from duty at Provis-
ional Base Hospital, FIT. Oglethorpe,
and directing him to proceed home.
reporting on arrival by telegraph to
the Adjutant General, and honorably
diScharging him from Medical Re-
serve Corps Of army, effective upon
arrival home. Travel directed ne
cessary in military service. Inform
him. MCCAIN.
The order came wholly unexpect-
eddy to Capt. Ford, whose work had
never been criticised by his super
ior oficers. Other officers with good
records were being also relieved with
out notice of cause. We will not
criticise the War Department for the
conduct Of its affairs, but we are at
a loss to understand why a man OF
Capt. Ford's high personal charac-
ter and superior fitness as a physi-
clan should be thus summarily dis
charged from the service. The peo-
pie of Ohio county who know and adj
mire DR.. Ford will not believe that
he was relieved from military SER
vice because Of any personal miscon-
duct or for lack of professional eff
ficiency, and will welcome him back
to the old home town.

OFFICER LEAVES
OUARTERMASTER NILSEN GOES
MEETS SUCCESS HERE
MADISON HOSPITABLE.

Additions to the fifteen applica-
tons for enlistment to the United
States navy for today are John Hulk
ford and Frank f. WEIGH. They will
leave Monday with the men already
accepted, and be further examined
and sworn in at Omaha. Just a few
moments before the departure of the
recruiting officer, William +. Brink
er made application and will go with
the others.
Anton j. Welck. Chester b. Bey-
nolds and Adelbert Cooper went this
morning to Omaha. They will be eX-
amined, and if passed. will be sworn
in and sent to the training camp at
Chicago for two months of training
before being assigned to actual duty
on fighting ships.
Recruiting Officer Chief Quarter
master Nilsen expressed deep appre-
citation of the treatment accorded
him in Madison. G.. II. Waskey. Jas.
Robertson and DR.. Wooley were espe-
cially mentioned as devoting much
time and effort in his assistance.
Many other professional and business
men were of almost as great assist
ance to him i'm his work. and every
person he met accorded him all the
courtesies possible. He wishes to
convey his deepest thanks for his en-
t~ertainment and encouragement here
and for the cooperation of the men.
Mr.. Nilsen goes to Howard tonight
to secure further numbers of men for
the navy. The town is alive to the
military situation, and no doubt the
able officer will have the unqualified
success there that he experienced in
Madison.
There is a strong sentiment abroad
i'm town today for the formation of a
company of volunteers of national
guard. Many men in town have had
military training, and would take to
that in greater numbers than they dc
to the stranger work of the sea and
ships. Nothing definite has been
done and the proposal is as yet void
and without form. If the proposal
meets with enough encouragement il
is thought 10 acquaint Gov. Norbecl
of the matter, and learn just under
what conditions such an organization
might be perfected. Then, if the
plan is acceptable, il will undoubted-
~ be pushed to the logical conclu
sion.

WHOLESALE FISHING
IMMENSE QUANTITIES OF FISH
WILL BIZ SHIPPED To NEW
YORK IN TANK CARS.

To catch one carload of fish,
weighing $4,000 pounds. each day for
Is days is what the fish and game
commission have undertaken to do at
Madison during the coming sucker
season. Fish Warden l.. G. Hawley
has been in the city for the last three
days making preparations for the
work.
1t has been decided by the com
mission that the lake has developed
a sufficient stock of game and
desirable fish TO warrant the exter-
mination OF the variety known as
suckers. Mr.. Hawley stated last
night that the lake is actually crowd
ed with suckers, and insofar as they
could they Intended TO rid the waters
of this undesirable fish, always de
structive Of the spawn Of others of
their kind.
At the lower end of the creek lead
ing into the lake a trap has been in
stalled, allowing the fish TO go up
the stream, but restraining them
from returning TO the lake. As soon
as the ice breaks up in the lake the
big run will begin, and the work of
the fishermen will start. All other
kinds Of fish will be returned TO the
water.
In the United States are nine cars
knows as live fish cars" These
cars are built in much the same shape
and appearance as an express car and
contain great tanks filled with fish
and water i'm about equal proportions.
Without some mean of keeping oyy-
gen in the water the fish would
smother as would any animal in
Initiated air. To maintain a proper
amount of the imprisoned air in the
water for the fishes lungs-gills--
in the bottom of each tank Is a jet
for injecting air into the water. This
air furnishes the proper amount OF
oxygen for the fish, and they can be
transported for long distances with
out any appreciate loss, and land in
a perfectly fresh and wholesome con-
dition at their destination. Each of
these cars contain about $4,000
pounds of live fish.
OF these cars there are only nine
in the country. The company given
the right TO take the fish expect to
have one furnished each day during
the run of the fish in the creek. A
tank of sufficient capacity to contain
a carload has been erected at the site,
and this will be filled, then loaded
for shipment. The company Is from
Havana, ILL.,, and pays a certain per
cent to the state for the privilege of
taking the fish.
