Mansfield and Its Future
By Fred r. Kinder

Town building is one OF the
most difficult "jpbs" any man
ever undertook and the Job /,
ha ,e tackled" here is no excep-
tiun. But / am putting forth
nv best efforts to make Mans
fa8a g real live city of many thou
sand persuns,not the largest city
in the Ozarks, perhaps, but the
BEST.
One man can not do this alone,
no matter bow big he IS. how
much influence he has or how
much money, Money will build
houses and bring many hundred
families into a city, but there are
many things money will not do.
Cooperation will do it, how
ever, and do it RIGHT. An ex'
change of ideas without friction,
for no one man knows everything
and two heads are always better
than one, and two dozen are bett
er than twelve. So it is up to
the good people of Mansfield, up
to every single inhabitant to put
his shoulder to the wheel and
help push the Mansfield wagon
up the hill.
There is one great factor notl
ceable in Mansfield which mus
be entirely eliminated before the
city will begin to grow and as
sumo that proportion to which
we are all looking forward
That one thing is personal AMI
mostly Of one citizen toward an
other and every one work in hal
monious conjunction with tn
other fellow if we are to succee'
If you do not like your neighbo
and can't say anything good
bout him, for the love OF Mike
don't say anything bad about hi
Keep him in a good humor So h
viii have that shoulder at tn
wheel. If you think somebod
else is trying to absorb all II
glory that will come from II
n.building work, let the
have it and you 60 out and g
the money that is sure to
spent here as the great work 6
En- on.
Remember, no city was ev
bnilded in a day. The substa
tial cities are those which ia
gone about the matter in a sa
and Ouud way. We do not wa
shacks here, we want real, h'
est.to.Goa houses, that will W
stand the rain, snow, cold a
heat. We want electric pc"
and light during the day as "
al aight, for we are going
i.as industries that need {
current. But we can not
these and other things If one

else pulling the other.

WRITE HOME, BOYS

Persons at home have been urged
to write to the soldiers and sailors
The American man is the homiest man
on earth, they are told. He needs
letters from the folks at home, giving
him in detail every little happening.
If the neighbors put down a new side
walk, he will be interested. II his
sisters baby cuts new tooth, he will
be interested. The papers have been
full of exhortations to write to the
boys at the front and in the camps.
Now, however, comes a communica-
tion from General Pershing encourag-
ing the soldiers to write home often.
Anxiety of parents can be more
easily allayed by letters from the boy
home to Mother and Dad than by any
thing else. The morale of the people
at home must be kept up. They are
doing just as difficult, if not more
difficult task, as the boys at the front.
They are not risking their lives, to be
sure, but they are compelled to live
with the knowledge that someone they
love is risking his life, and they can
not be there to help. 1t is not so
easy, this staying at home.
Letters from the boys at the front
will help keep the minds of those
who have to stay at home cheer
full and optimistic. Mother and
Dad will feel more like doing all
they possibly can in the different
branches of war work, If they get fire.
quent letters from their boy saying
that all is well with him.

Food Hint for Today
Do You ssKnOw Beans?

/
"You don't know beans" has becom
picturesque way Of saying "You ar,
a nincompoop!"
Just how this slang phrase origin
ated history does not tell, but Ger
tain it is that the housewife who hal
become thoroughly acquainted will
beans is paying high for her ignorance
The national food administrator
says: "In winning this war beans
are going to figure both directly ant
indirectly. Directly because our Army
and Navy are using vast quantities
of them, and indirectly, because the
widespread use of beans at home In
place Of meat dishes will release that
much extra meat for shipment over
seas"
1t would be hard to find more
nutritious food for the price than
beans. The different varieties vary
slightly in composition, but in general
one may say that a pound of beans
is equal in protein value to "A pounds
raw potatoes, 163 pounds sirloin
steak, 2O1 pounds round steak,
1876 eggs, So pounds or S pints whole
milk.
Fortunately, our bean crop last year
was nearly twice as large as ever be-
fore, so we have plenty not only for
our soldiers and sailors, but also for
every one at home. The housekeeper
who isn't taking her share of this
bean crop, in truth, doesn't know
beans"
In the following recipes any kind Of
beans may be used. Don't get the
notion that beans like the California
pink bean or the Colorado pinto are
inferior to the white variety. Analy-
sis prove them just as nourishing.
Bean Loaf.
1 pint cold (cooked) beans
1 egg well beaten
2 tablespoons tomato catsup
1 cup Victory or corn bread crumbs
i tablespoonful chopped onion
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine ingredients, shape into loaf
and bake 25 minutes.
Bean Roast.
l pound beans (cooked)
1 pound cottage cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
l teaspoonful salt
Mash beans, add cheese and enough
bread crumbs to make a mold. Bake
in a moderate oven one-half hour.
Baste with fat occasionally. Serve
with, tomato sauce. Canned pimen-
tos or chopped green pepper, or chop
ped onion or celery, may be added for
flavorirg.

A NET OF MERCY SPREAD
THROUGH A SEA OF PAIN

the Red Cross Treaty, in which 1t was
agreed that a white flag, bearing the
Red Cross, should be raised where
there was any hospital relief work
In the Civil War, the United States
Sanitary Commission began an organ.
ization of medical experts for the in
spection and improvement of armies
in the field. 1t soon found itself the
recipient of a stream Of supplies of all
kinds-gifts Of people for individual
soldiers and for general relief work
To reach the soldiers, the Field Re-
lief Organization carried supplies to
temporary hospitals, set up near oper-
ations. But as the armies moved, the
supplies often got lost.
Relief Work Extended.
A more efficient plan was established
in 1864, at the time of the advance
of Grant upon Lee. Bases were found
ed on the Virginia rivers-at Port
Royal, the White House, Belle Plain
and City Point. To these bases the
commission attached its relief work
as the movements progressed. The
barge Isabella was sent to those bases
loaded to the top of her smoke stack
with hospital supplies-cot-bed hos
pital clothing, linens and stores of all
kinds. 1t also carried a relief corps
of fifty regularly enlisted young
women and outfits for special diet
kitchens, each with a trained women
in charge. 1t was the business of the
barge to keep up with any change of
base, to anticipate them and to meet
at all points ambulances and army
wagons. This organization was the
Auxiliary Relief Corps.
The Civil War had already antici-
pated the naturalization of the ambu-
lance. No distinction was made be-
tween the Blue and the Gray. Every
nation since the Geneva Treaty has OBJ
served it. Japan, in her war with
Russia, heartily entered into the
spirit of this neutrality, by the gener-
Gus aid extended to its wounded
enemy. Germany, in the present war,
has been the only one to violate this
sacred promise. She has dropped
bombs, high explosives and gas shells,
on the wounded and dying.
Henri Dunant lived to be an old
man, past so years. Fate was kind
not to let him see his life dream
shattered-a civilized nation purposely
infiicting the most astrocious cruelty
of which the world knows upon sick
and dying soldiers.

THE NEWEST WOMAN

The phrase the New Woman" has
borne a significance that has won
various degrees of appreciation or dis
approval. But there is newly coined
phrase, the Newest Woman" which
receives only praise.
The Newest Woman is she who has
been born in the shadow of the Great
War, who bears on her face no shadow
but radiance which comes from an
inner consciousness of a glory to be
achieved. For the sake of a cause
she sends her sons forth to battle with
a smile on her face and cheerfully
shoulders the burdens they must lay
Truly the old order changeth. To
do a mans work a few years ago
would have been to lose social caste;
to be regarded as mannish. Now "the
Newest Woman" is deemed knighted
by her ability to take mans place;
she is regarded in the social status as
a superior being; one to be envied.
The unjust criticism against the
pioneer women in the commercial and
political world will be overcome by
the respect won by this newest woman.

Fall Feeding for Sheep.

Stubble and stalk fields may well
form the principal means of susie
nance for the breeding flock in the fall
If they are used before the rains ln-
jure their feeding value. Fence strips
in plowed fields may also give good
grazing for few days. Clover and
grass pastures may well be left until
the stubble and stalk fields have been
used. For regions where the winters
are open. heavy stand of well-cured
bluegrass will help very much In
carrying the flock through the winter
in good condition. Green rye pastures
In the late fall give considerable sue
.culence and furnish exercise for the
flock. In the South velvet beans will
be found of great help In carrying
the flock into January.
