Mr.. w. L. Covert, from the Univers-

subject, "Farm Management" His
subject proved very interesting and in
structive. He took the figures from
a successful farmer near Willmar
showing strong and weak points in
his system of farming This brought
out lively discussion among the men
of the club. Mr.. Hubbard took excep-
ton to the point of view taken by Mr..
Rodegeb and other members present
and an amusing and exciting time fol-
lowed. It was finally decided to leave
the debate until a later date. Lunch

Dr.. Beard Gave An. |IIundnat-
ing Talk Thursday
:, Evening,

AAo dUuIoSS Ou Lu0 uOSQlId1 QuoS-
tion as delivered by Prof. R.: o. Beard
of the State University at the public
meeting held last Thursday evening at
the Masonic Hall for the purpose Of
discussing the proposed city and coun-
ty hospital project, was indeed thor
ough and able presentation Of the sub
ject. It was to be regretted that a
larger number of people were not pres
ent. DR.. Beard, who is connected with
the College of Medicine and clinic at
the State University, is an expert in
his line whose scientific knowledge in
hospital organization and hospital
work was very manifest. His paper
was lengthy and thorough but was lis
tened to with great interest by those
present.
DR.. Beard stated that from a study
of the situation at Willmar he was
certain that q splendid and creditable
public hospital could be maintained in
our city If organized and conducted
along the right lines. And great care
in planning should be taken at the out
set. The establishment of a central
hospital properly equipped and open
to any and all physicians would in
this age of efficiency and specializing
be found a necessity and an economy
to the people.
The hospital he had in mind would
be furnished with all the important
modern equipment, including a labora-
tory and the employment Of a pathol-
ogist.
/ It should not be charitable insti-
tuition but still shOuld maintain sew.
eral free beds for the poor supported
by the county. It should also have a
| children's ward and maternity ward.
There should be specially arranged
place for the care of contagious dis
ease as well as department in con-
nection with the hospital for the treat
ment of tuberculosis patients.
An institution as he had in mind
Whlsh would take care of future
growth and be up to the demands for
standardized hospital in every re-
spect would cost $4,000 to $4,000.
! Judge T: O. Gilbert, who presided
over the meeting, called on Rev. J. N.
Andersen who spoke briefly, commend
Ing the project, and stating that the
plan as outlined by DR.. Beard appealed
to him very strongly as church man
and as father.
| Rev. Paul HAHN also spoke in favor
OF such union hospital as it would
enable our doctors to specialize and
save many needing specialists treat
ment from having to go to the biz
cities for help; for he maintained that
no man can cover the whole field of
the practice of medicine and do it
right.
