The sight of pain Is at first hard 10
bear. AS the story of human misery,
misdeeds and suffering unfolds she
shrinks from the knowledge of it But
the thought that she can help to re-
lieve this suffering. and perhaps later
In life to prevent such suffering, helps
to strengthen her.
In the nurses home she spends de-
lightful evenings with her friends

and recreation. Perhaps she is

amuse herself IN sightseeing.
AS the probation period passes she

finds that, though the surgeon may
perform a wonderful operation and the
doctor diagnose and prescribe skill
fully, their work Is not complete with
out hers. She shares in their art OF

during the critical period after an OPP
GRAFTON. She must give the medicine

She studies her patients carefully.
| Not an expression, posture, movement,
but has It's meaning for her. She
learns the simple nursing arts of lift
ing the sick. dressing their wounds,
making their beds and feeding them.
Her eyes become accustomed to signs
Of distress, and no mute message of
appeal goes unrecognized-
The wonder of life unfoids before
her eyes. The presence of death
hovers near, and she enters into the
fght against it with all her strength,
unafrnid and prepared.
Her first operation Is never to DO
forgotten" event in her life As sho
stands In the operating room taking
her part in the drama a sense Of grave
responsibility and awe oyercomes her.
and she rededicates herself TO the lie
work she has chosen
Thus she goes through the four po-
RODS of training from probatfoner to
junior and from senior to graduate,
and finally the day Of her graduates
arrives She goes forth from lile hos

taken the state examination and can

lives of the soldiers entrusted to tn
care, and none but the most carefully
trained, devoted and capable nurses
are allowed within its ranks. No
nurse is being sent abroad today VINO
cannot justify her existence on the
other side by at least ten hours OF
hard work.
1t is well, therefore, for those young
women who wish to help their country
in this hour of peril to realize that the
highest service they can render Is to
enter a school for nurses and begin
their trimming at once They will
thereby release women with training
and experience for war service and
help to fill the ranks Of the great
nursing army, upon which the country
leans in times OF peace as well as Of
war

SUIT IS LOST
BY SHEEPMEN
Woolgrowers are Turned
Down by Supreme Court
in Action to Secure Writ
of Mandate Against State
Insurance Manager.

Idaho sheepmen Monday lost their
fight against their inclusion under
the workmen's compensation act
when the state supreme court denied
to them writ of mandate directed
against C. o. Broxon, manager of the
states insurance fund.
The sheepmen brought the action
in the court against Broxon in an
effort to restrain him from forcing
them to carry insurance on their
herders The action was filed by
Andy Little, a prominent sheepman
of Gem county.
In denying the application for a
writ the court said the sheepmen
were seeking relief when none was
needed yet
Little had asked that Broxon be
restrained from starting an action
in the courts against him for failure
to pay his assessments on herders
into the states insurance fund.

is absolutely false, as anyone who
saw the game can testify Mr.. Miller
acted as referee and Mr.. Ottenheimer
was an interested spectator and
rootef. An effort was made to get
referee from Boise, which failed
so, after urging, Mr.. Miller agreed
to referee. At his and Mr.. Ream s
request the Gooding coach was also
on the floor so that there might be
no possible cause for kick from the
