New Fame Secured
by Mayo Brothers

Have something the world wants.
and though you dwell in the midst OF
n forest II will wear n beaten path to
your door SO runs the famous pro-
verb. a proverh that has been bril-
liantly cxemplified by the two Mayo
brothers, the worlds master surgeons
These men, who maintain the noted
surgical hospital at Rochester, Mimi.
n country town. has Just given 81
$4,000 to the University OF Minnesota
for medical research.
I'VE turn over to the regents the
bulk Of our savings as an outright
gift" said DIR. William j. Mayo, eldest
OF the two. The money came from
the people. and we feel 1t should return
70 the people,"
That fine sentiment sums up the life
work of these men. Since fame came
to them many years ago they have
aborrd Zeaionsly to relieve suffering
with less thought Of self than any men
of their time. The story OF their be-
ginning and later achievement is one
Of special appeal
DR.. w. w. Mayo. father of the two
surgeons. left New England as a young
| man and practiced in several western
towns. Eventually he located in
Rochester. and i, was there that the
! two boys were born. During their
youth they morked in a drug store,
| studied pharmacy and then asplred tn
be physicians. Their college days over,
the brothers came back to Rochester
and settled down to the life of village
doctors. But rcnown was not long in
them IN, u
first working with the elder Mayo,
also Il man of much skill. they per
formed operations which attracted
much attention. No case seemed too
desperate for them and they effected
cures where other men had given up.
by degrees their local fame spread
until the sick and the MANNED began
to visit Rochester in search of their
aid. That was the beginning of the
present hospital where dozens or
major operations take place every day
1t was not long until the Mayo broth
Icrs came to rank among the greatest
surgeons of the country. Today they
are recognized as the most distin-
guished members OF their profession
and other surgeons come to them from
all over the world for instruction and
advice.
One Of the brothers soon will go to
France with the American army and
after a time the other Is to relieve
him. Plans for handling our wounded
nre being developed with the Mayos'
help. In surrendcring their life saw
ings that humanity may be served they
have set n new seal upon the great :
ness that has come to them. The path
to their doorway has been beaten into
a broad highway.

Songs of the Fields
BY Francis Ledwidge.

After NJ. Last Song.
Where I shall rest when my last song
is over
The air is smelling like fcast of
wine;
And purple breakers Of the windy
clover
Shall roll to cool this burning brow OF
mine.
And there shall come to me- when day
is told.
The peace OF sleep when I am gray
and old.
I'm wild for wandering to the far off
places
Since one forsook mo whom I hold
most dear.
7 want to see new wonders and now
Beyond East seas; but will win back
When my last song is sung, and veins
are cold
old
Oh paining eyes, but not with salty
weeping.
My heart is like a sod in winter rain;
Ere You will see those bayine waters
leaping
Like hungry hounds once more. how
many a pain
Shall heal. but when my last short
song Is trollcd
Yonll sleep here on wan cheeks grown
thin and old.

CONDITIONS IN SPAIN.

1t was expected that Spain by main
tanning its neutrality would gather
much prosperity from the war. There
was even the hope that out OF the
land might regain tithe of its for
mor glory Its admirable and advan
tageous location for trading purposes
suggested that possibility.
The hope. however, has not been
realized. for reasons not quite clear
There is little reliable information 10
be had Of conditions in Spain. We
know that many small revolis have
occurred and that the war has shaken
some OF the political foundations. but
tho censorship has been n drawn veil
TO the drama that is being enacted
within
Formerly Spain had two political
parties. the Conservatives and the
Liberals. but These have been divided
| so that there are now pro- Germa n
| Conservatives. pro. Ally Conservatives,
with pro German Liberals and pro.
! Ally Liberals There has heen one
| political crisis after another but there
! has also been an economic crisis
| The war time prosperity in Spain
| ha srcsembled that of our own country
in the respect that it has been uneven.
| In certain industries. such as the
| mctalmrgical. wages have advanced
| and employees have been kept busy.
| but there are other Industries which
| have been adversely affected. The
cost of living has increa sed out OF
harmony With the increase in wages
a few people have grown rich but the
prosperity OF the great majority has
diminished BESIDES tho war has

ton to South American countries and
thus there has been an abnormal sup
ply OF workers

Chicago Lecturer
Tells How to Smash
High Cost Of Living

Nearly 500 interested householders
listened to Carl D. Thompson of Chi
cago. secretary OF the National Pub
lie Ownership league, who told them
how to defeat the high cost of living
yesterday afternoon in the Audi
forum.
The lecture was held under the
auspices of the Omaha United Buy
ers' league. Mr.. Thompson pointed
out the causes contributing to the
excessive costs of life's necessities,
and possible cures.
The causes he attributed largely to
the fact that American public utili-
ties are corporation, instead OF gov
ernment-owned.
The recent increases in the pay Of
railroad men, he says. will, i'll all
probability, be followed by an in
creased burden on the public in the
way of increased prices. The rail-
roads arc not entitled to boost their
rates, he said, quoting from sheaf
of statistics and figures, because the
raise in wages is mere bagatclle
compared to the net earnings. 1t the
people owned the railroads, he said,
they would be operated at cost, and
every employee would be getting fair
wages and short hours.
Immediate relief from excessive
cost of food and other necessities, he
pointed out, can be obtained by unit
ing buying power, thus getting bene-
fit of low prices given to purchasers
of large quantities. He recommended
the united buyers leagues and urged
communities everywhere TO form
buyers clubs, with paid expert buy
ers. In this way, he declared, the
householder can save from 20 to so
per cent on everything purchased.
The Omaha Buyers league, in the
Paxton block, passed out circulars
during the meeting. In charge of
the arrangements for the lecture yes
terday were Frank Pinney, Z. P.
Morrow, Ernest Pierce and Marvin
Marks, The city council donated
the use OF the Auditorium.
