About Hospital Plan
- -

DR.. j. M. Dodd, who was due tt
address the Commercial club Tues
day night in regard to the new hos
pital, became stalled in a snow drift
in the vicinity of Nash with his aut O.
mobile, and was unable TO reach
Washburn which prevented him from
attending the meeting. DIR. Dcdd
was to have presented the matter OF
new hospital in Ashlal d, for which
the campaign to raise $4,000 is now
on in full swing.
In view of the fact that circular
has b zen issued sent out in Washburn
asking the people not to support the
Ashland movement, it is felt that
the people of Washburn do not un-
derstand the real situation.
In a communication received from
DR.. Dodd this afternoon he presents
the matter in somewhat different
light. The doctor points out that
this is not so much an Ashland move
ment as a North Wisconsin move
ment from which Washburn as we'll
as Ashland will benefit.
AS the medical center of large
territory Ashland has larger
proposition than it can handle alone.
The surrounding towns are support
ing literally, recognizing the fact
that thoroughly equipped general
hospital can be maintained only in
the larger centers, but that such a
hospital is as much at the disposal OF
the neighboring communities as of
the center in which it is located.
Not to receive substantial support
from Washburn would be a disap-
pointment to those who are working
for this humanitarian cause. II was
suggested at meeting of the hos
pital board that suite of rooms be
set aside in the new hospital to be
known as the Washburn hospital
suite for the exclusive use of her
citizens.
Those who are behind the Ashland
movement have kept in mind the
fact that a great many Washburn
citizens desire a local hospital and
when Washburn is ready to 60 ahead
and build her own institution the
strong support of Ashland may be
counted upon. The long and short
of the matter is that this whole Sec
ton of the country is behind in hos
pital accommodations and the only
way the need can be met in any
satisfactory degree is for neighbor-
ing communities to help each other
when a hospital project is on foot.
DR.. Dodd will be present on Friday
evening, January 10TH, to address
the Commercial Club on the matter.

Washburn City Schools.
January IT, 1917.

january ~, l9If.
To the parents:
Because the proposition of heating
the Walker school is no better than
it has been during the past it seems
advisable to offer the following plan
TO the parents of children attending
said school.
Start school at $3.50 a. m. allow
one half hour for lunch many bring
them now continuing school till
3:15 p. m. The building is not cold
all day, only till about $50 gener-
ally. This plan does not cost any
more than we now pay; the janitor
could get started earlier at night,
getting his work done earlier, then
we could expect him to get here
early enough in the morning to get
the building warm. The school is in
session exactly the same number Of
hours as at present and so just as
much work could be done.
Very truly yours,
Guy d. Hyper
City Superintendent.
~ MT approve of your plan of
the hours of session for holding
school as suggested in the above
letter.
Very truly yours,
Draw line thru the word do or
do not so your meaning will be clear
to me.
Letters were sent out Wednesday
by the pupils to the parents explain
ing a new schedule of school hours
for the Walker Building. On account
of the cold it is very uncomfortable
to study or teach. 1t generally gets
warm soon after the pupils usually
arrive. With this in mind the new
schedule is as follows:
School starts at $50 a. nj. instead
of 900. Everybody brings his lunch
and is given one half hour to eat it
st noon. School starts again at 100
D. m. and is dismissed at 3:15. This
gives the same number of hours as
before under the old schedule and
the cost is no greater. 1t allows
more time to eat breakfast and will
be a great benefit to those walking
in from the country. 1t benefits
teachers and pupils alike. relieving
them of the effort of two trips up the
hill every day. When the snow is
deep this is quite an effort for some
of these.
We hope the parents will like this
plan and sign and return the letter
you will get from your child if he
goes to the Walker school. Any OBJ
jections will be gladly heard, and
given due consideration.
The new semester starts next
Monday Jan. 90, at the usual time.
Grade cards and certificates will be
given out on that day. All the
children are to GO to their regular
places of attending just as if the new
semester had not started. They
will be sent to their new places by
their old teacher after she has given
out the cards and certificates. Don t
make mistake on this matter. Go
back to your old teacher first. Several
changes have been planned. We
hope the parents will be patient with
us at first until we get Strengthened
out. 1t won't take long we think.

SIGN THE FOOD PLEDGE CARDS

The food pledge cards which are being clrcula1eo
throughout the country this week are not intended 10
bind the individual to a fixed and arbitrary program, out
rather to act as a sort of confession of faith, a faith that
is to be shown by appropriate works as the occasion
may arise. The card contains a pledge whereby the
signer agrees to be guieded in the use of foods by the
recommendations of the food administration in so Tar
as this is practicable in the case of the individual.
It is taken for granted that the same specific ADVICE
which may be highly useful in the case of one family
may not meet the conditions in some other family. the
recommendations Of the board will be made as univer-
sally applicable as possible. But they are to be inter-
preted in the light of the special conditions in each case,
and followed reasonably and in the spirit of broad help
fulness rather than Of strict compliance with arbitrary
rules,
The food administration is trying to accomplish one
great thing namely, to bring about the wise selection
and wise use of food, to the end that waste shall be re-
duced to the minimum, and that that which has been
produced for human food shall yield up to human beings
here and abroad it's last ounce of energy for the human
beings for whom it is intended. All the suggestions and
recommendations are intended to fulfill this purpose, and
they are to be followed wherever they will lead to this
end.
Let the cards be signed as an evidence Of our desire
to cooperate with the government to the extent of our
ability.

A SPLENDID TRIBUTE

The Charlotte, N. c., News devotes more than a
page of a recent issue to a splendid tribute to the army
men who have been stationed at Camp Greene for a
number of weeks. To be strictly accurate the issue con-
tains many tributes, for there are published a score or
more Of articles. of varying length, but all, in the same
spirit, from local people,, public officials, ministers Of the
gospel, educators, business men, people of all classes and
all occupations. Yet we prefer to consider the tribute
as one rather than as many, for running through all the
articles is the same spirit, and the single sentiment Of
admiration of the character of the soldiers who have
been the neighbors, and in a very real sense the guests
of the people of Charlotte, and a sentiment of pleasure
that opportunity has been given to the people of. the
southern city to meet and mingle with those fellow citi-
zens who are to aid in. holding aloft the standard of the
nation. ,
The sadness and the horror of war cannot be over
estimated. But with the conditions that it creates come
compensat1ons of many kind. Not the smallest of these,
to the people of this nation, is the spirit of unity which is
developed in the face of a common danger, and in pur-
suit OF a single ideal. It has sometimes been said that
In the face of the great emergency our people are more
united than they have ever been since the Civil war. We
should erase the limitation, and leave the statement that
our people are more united than they have ever been
before in the history of the nation, for never before has
there been less of the spirit of sectionalism and pro-
vincialism than exists today.
East and west, north and south, Americans are in
sp1reo oy a common thought, and have their minds fixed
on a common purpose. And the movement of our troops
secuon to section, the assefnblage of men from
many quarters in the same camp, and their contact with
.ne people have contributed in no small measure to the
breaking down Of the barriers that remained and the
growth of the spirit of brotherhood,
It is pleasant to know that the men who have haer
stauoneo at Camp Greene have made such a good i'm.
presslon on their temporary hosts. 1t is pleasant fol
North Dakotans to know this, for our own soldiers n
te Natlonal Guard are amonL those who have beer
