TINE OLD FAMILY DOCTOR.
R,sina Of q Once Leading Figure N
Every Community.

The old family doctor is now but
. landmark. He is rapidly passing
out of existence. He has been
crowded from the city. His field of
practice now includes the small
country towns.
Time was when the old family
doctor was a member of the house
hold. He was the father confessor,
the family adviser, the counselor OF
the head of the family. His word
was law. He commanded more re-
spect from the children than the
president of the United States ever
will command.
He was the doctor of all the ills
the flesh might fall heir to. He
cured a cold and fever; he set a
broken leg or arm; he was the ply
sician who treated troubles of the
ear, throat and eye; he was the
good Samaritan who walked with
suffering woman through the val
lev of the shadow of death; he was
. potent factor in the affairs Of
many homes; his field of labor was
Q rugged one; he labored well and
faithfully, but the old family doc
tor lived in an age when the doctor
did a general practice.
We live differently in our present
day and generation. We live in the
age of speciaGsm. There are ear
specialists, nose specialists, eye spe-
cialists, fever specialists, physicians
who make . speciality of children's
diseases. There are specialists who
confne their efforts to relieving the
suffering Of the feet. There are
neurologisrs who do nothing but
treat disordered nerves. If your
heart is affected you 60 out in search

LET'S WAKE UP.

Have you noticed the trend of
recent events with regard to the
advantages and obligations of
McCrory, as the central city of
Woodruff county?
When the Red Cross people
wanted to cover the whole coun
ty quickly they came, per force,
to McCrory. Our County Dem
stration Agents necessarily main
tain headquarters here, as the
most accessible point from which
to direct their important opera
tons. Now the far-seeing gen
tlemen who organized the Wood
ruff County Fair Association
have decided upon McCrory as
the proper place to establish per-
manent fair grounds. McCrory's
central location makes her the
ideal Convention City, of the
county.
This entails upon us certain OBJ
legations that we cannot afford to
ignore. We are sadly in need of
properly equipped convention
hall and other accommodations
for the people who must neces-
sarily come here.
Let's wake up and welcome
the opportunity that is knock
ing at our door,"

GALEMA WANTS OUR R. R.
Committee from Community
Club Here Friday.

Messrs. Wheeler, Long, Nor
and Murdoch, comprising th'
Railroad committee of the Com
munity Club of Galena were ir
Baxter Friday afternoon.
The delegation came over tc
consult with Mr.. Richard Flood,
general representative of the
Bartlesville capitalists who are
backing the proposed Oklahoma
& Northern railroad, which com.
pany was given a franchise by
this city recently.
The object of the Galeua com.
mittee was to persuade the
Bartlesville people to build their
railroad on from Baxter Springs
to Galeua. The gentlemen spent
several hours with Mr.. Flood and
in behalf of the City of Galena
offered very attractive induce.
ments to the railroad company,
even going to the extent, The
News is informed, of offering to
build the bridge across Spring
river, the cost of which would be
about $4,000.
The Galena faction that is
trying to compel the Southwest
Missouri Railroad to run its
Baxter cars around by Seventh
street is sure enough putting up
a hard fight, but they do not
appear to be making any head.
way in their effort to induce other
railroad companies to build COM
peting lines between Baxter and
Galena.
The News is reliably informed
that the committee did not get
any encouragement from Mr..
Flood. He gave the committee
names of the Bartlesville gentle
men who are behind the new
railroad and advised them to
take the matter up direct.
It seems that in the early
stages of the promotion of this
railroad the plan was to run
from Bartlesville to Joplin via
Galena, but when Galena was
for q franchise that
city demanded an annual fran
:hise fee from the company am
ountiug to 3 per cent of the total
receipts of the railroad at Galeua.
This the company felt was un.
reasonable. Subsequently the
Baxter field sprauk into promiu- |
.nce and the promoters decided
o run their line to Baxter and
make this point the eastern
erminus.

salena in earlier days possibly
