CONFEDERATE VETERAN
VISITS FRIENDS
IN AUDRAIN COUNTY
X. C. Hagan Was With General Price
in Civil War.


R. C. Hagan, of the Confederate
Soldiers Home at Higginsville, is
visiting old friends and neighbors in
Audrain and Boone counties. Veteran
Hagan was rs years old the fourth of
this month. He worked at the car
pentering trade for about thirty-five
years in Mexico, and says that in 60
ing over the town now, he sees many
houses he built years ago.
Mr.. Hagan was in the Confederate
Army at the beginning and at the end
o. the Civil War. He served for six
months in the State Guard when the
war started and decided that he had
had all the fighting he wanted, so he
went West. He came back just when
General Sterling Price was beginning
hia famous raid. Mr.. Hagan took part
in this raid, and says, while he has
had other hard times in his life, he
never had so many as then. For twen-
ty-eight days he had nothing to eat at
all except beef which had been half
cooked over the Goals and which was
eaten without pepper or salt. The first
thing he had to eat after the long
twenty-eight day march was corr
stolen from an Indians corn crib. The
soldiers hurried back to camp witt
his precious treasure and parched it,
"Then ate corn until my jaws wert
81 tired that l had to lie down to res
myself" he says. "As soon as hat
rested little, l always got up an'
began 10 eat again"
Mr.. Hagan was in the battle o
Lexington, Boonville, Big Blue AM
some minor battles in Kansas. III
says that as far as he knows none o
his blood relatives are in the presen
war. He is much interested in tn
war news and thinks Uncle Sam WI
have no trouble winning.

have been graduated from the law
school of the University of Missouri
this June, had he not gone into the
army. This would have meant the CO.
incidence of every child in the FAM
lily graduating in the tame year.

AMERICANS OF GERMAN BLOOD

There crops up now and then
evidence that some people in this
country regard a German name as
evidence Of disloyalty. A man in
Montana writes to US that he is
dismayed to find nearly all the
Government posters in his town
bearing the mark Of firms that to
him Sound German" We have had
other letters Of similar import. In
each case the writer seems to think
Something ought to be done about
it," We think something ought to
be done about people who feel this
way. We think they ought to ex-
anime the casualty lists Of our
army in France. If they will do so,
they will discover that the activity
Of Americans whose names sound
German" is not confined to Gov
eminent printing; they will find
that Americans whose names
Sound German" are dying under
the Stars and Stripes in France
And perhaps it will occur to them
that you can no more judge a
mans loyalty to America by the
sound Of his name than you can by
the color Of his hair.-Colliers.

The station at No. 81 School Will

Thursday and Saturday afternoons
from 80 to a o'clock. Tomorrow
station will be opened at the
Babies Hospital and third at the
PEOPLES Settlement on THURSDAY
afternoon. Competent nurses and
physicians will be in charge.
The brief clinic at No. p School
Yesterday afternoon was very
simple.
The babies were weighed and
measured and given a cursory
"look over" by the nurse and
physician. The babies that came
up to the required health stand
ards for infants of their age, had
this fact noted on cards given to
mothers. Others that were below
normal, or afflicted with some all
ment, had these facts noted on the
card. The mother was told what
she could do to promote the health
of the child and asked to consult
her family physician. Where the
parent said the family income
would not permit Of her seeking a
doctor except in acute illness, she
was told she could return at later
date and further advice would be
given free of charge.
The parent was informed that
the work is purely educational. All
the advice needed but no medicines
or treatment given. Through the
advice givensparents, insidious all
ments that the mother may not
have noticed are called to her at
tention, and she may thus be able
to save the life of the child while
there is yet time, but in many cases
prevent serious disastrous results
from innocent neglect now.
There is no obligation or restric-
ton of any character placed on
the parent. The mother simply
brings the child to one of the sta
tions where it is weighed and
measured and any advice given
that the physician and nurse in
charge can offer for the benefit of
the child. During 1917 nearly 10,-
900 children under years of age
died in Delaware, and it is to try
and reduce this mortality through
careful diagnosis of ailments in
undeveloped children that this
campaign was inaugurated.
Miss Elizabeth Crime of New
ark, is taking an active part in the
work.

PRACTICE WORK
TESTED AT GRAMMAR
SCHOOL
Visitors Hear Quiz Lasting an
Hour

/ Work of the practise teacher,
Mss Mary Moss, senior in educa-
ton at the Women's College, was
tested out last Thursday at the
Grammar School, when the teacher
in the presence Of a number of
visitors, quizzad the children for
an hour on work completed six
weeks previously. The test was
entirely unexpected and the re-
Spouse Of the children showed that
a splendid piece Of work had been
done.
Miss Moss had selected Geogra-
ply as her subject for the five
weeks teaching required of all stu
dents in education working for the
degree Of 8. S. She had chosen as
her topic How Wheat Can Fight
the Kaiser" and using this as an
interest creating theme, had out
lined a complete unit of work. Be-
ginning with the discussion of
why there is shortage of wheat
IN the world, Miss Moss first de-
veloped an inquiring mind on the
part of the children. They learn
ed the great wheat producing belt
Of the Red River Valley, and locat-
ed by means Of heat zones other
parts of the world both north and
south of the equator, where the
temperature would be favorable to
wheat growing. Then they con-
sidered the climate, the lay of the
land, the probability of rains on
account Of intervening mountains;
they discussed soil conditions 60
ing back to the glacier period and
learning the why" Of every thing.
After the location OF the wheat
growing regions came a discussion
of labor conditions and the meth
DDS Of farming used; later still
manufacturing and exporting CEN
ters, shipping routes, etc. and
events of the present war. The
course was daily linked with the
great events of our times. They
learned what countries produce
enough wheat to feed themselves
in normal times; why many Of
these cannot now; and why the de-
mand in all Of the allied countries
IS greater now. The study of
Wheat" led the children to every
part Of the world. 1t included
physical and commercial geogra-
ply, 5 we'll as funds of general in
formation. That it had been pre-
ented in a logical manner was H.
Illustrated by the response Of the
children last Thursday. The work
had been completed on April 9th.
