ROTARIANS VISIT
INDUSTRIAL HOME
DR.. C. E. L. Keen Tells Them
About This Worthy Charity;
Delighted With Conditions

Members of the Harrisburg Ro-
'tary Club were entertained most de-
lightfully last evening at the Chill
dren's Industrial Home by DR.. c. F..
. l.. Keen, a member of the club, who
has been the home physician steadily
since 1902.
Dr. Keen, in his address covering
the history OF the institution. said
that it's success lay largely with the
devoted women who give constantly
of their personal services and often
go down into their own pockets TO
keep the institution running. DR..
Keen himself has given his own serv-
ices free for the period covered since
and in addition to acting as physi-
clan for the home has supervised the
nlenu and the living conditions to see
that both We're right from medical
viewpoint. The result has been that
the children of the home are in fine
condition and a case of serious i'll
ness is rare. The women in charge
have caused to be erected in the rear
of the grounds a separate building
where children suffering with con-
Iagious diseases, may be quartercd
until recovery and this has been used
repeatedly by the city and the coun-
u as a contagious disease hospital in
times of stress.
The homo now has ninety-two boys
and girls, from tots of the cradle age
up, and one boy who has been enter
ed as Il student at Normal school.
Some of the girls like the home so
much that they desire to remain aft
er the age for their discharge and
one of that age is now employed
there. The school board maintains
Two public schools in the building and
there are well-equiped rooms nurs-
cries and airy dormitories, each little
one sleeping in his own bed. The
Rotarians were escorted through the
sleeping rooms after the boys and
girls were in bed and found condi-
tions as neat and clean and the little
folks as happy and contented as
though they had been tucked in their
own beds at home.
DR.. Keen says that the $4,000
which the home receives from state
and county is not nearly sufficient,
the expenses running TO more than
IS 1000 yearly, and that as soon as
conditions improve Il new building
must be erected to overcome crowd
ing and meet the growing needs.
Edwin S. Herman, who has taken
an active interest in the home, of
men ms wlie is one Oh Ine JtuSleeS'
spoke in highest terms of the per-
sonal service and self-sacritfce OF DIR.
Keen in connection with the success
tul operation of this charity and
said that TO his untiring efforts the
women responsible for the conduct of
the institution owed much of their
success. The club gave him vote of
thanks.
At. the conclusion of the meeting
the women served refreshments in the
dining room, u number of the older
Girls acting as mattresses. The club
provided tickets and automobiles for
the children of the home to and from
the Red Cross benefit to be given in
the Majestic theater, Friday morn
ing. Arrangements also were made
for the dinner the Rotarians will
give Christmas week to poor children
of the city.

CALL MEETING
TO CENTRALIZE
WAR ENERGIES
Implement Men back Propa-
ganda of Far Reaching
Import to Northwest.

Capitalization Of war energies into
the heads of a single organization
probably will be considered at a con-
ference called for Friday evening, at
the Fargo Commercial club, by the
Fargo Implement Dealers associa-
realisation 81 the fact that the
farmers OF the northwest probably
viii make demands for new machine
equipment far outstrippine the pro-
duction Is the basis for the unique
movement launched by the implement
men which has for it's object the en-
courageraent Of the farmer to press in.
to services every piece Of machinery
on his farm. and that he purchase new
equipment only as the last resort.
That each farmer should make a
every piece of machinery that he can
possibly use. is one OF the main fea-
lures OF the movement.
Every farm" said one Of the local
dealers today. has one or more ma
chimes that might be pressed into serv-
ice. that would. under ordinary circum~
stances. be discarded and new equip
ment purchased.
'Tt will be impossible for the imple-
ment manufacturers to supply the
demand. That is particularly true IL
the machinery available IN the farms
is not used.
ALSO. trafllc conditions are such
that the immediate handling of such
equipment as NAV be needed, is abso-
lutely necessary IL the greatest good
is to be accomplished"
The Friday night conference bids
fair to prove an important factor in
the DEVELOPMENT OF the war manage
ment problem as it affects the north
west
