Cant, Mo-, March 21, 1918.

Dear Sirs:
l am in favor of an Audrain
County Hospital after the experience
we have had, to give it up would be
like giving up your telephone, and
understand unless the plan as sub
mitted, to be voted on April 5th,
carries the present one will be clos
ed.
From the number of cases the rec
ords show that have been treated
during the existence of the present
hospital, there should be at least a
thousand families in Audrain boost
ing the present plan-that many
have had direct benefit.
The extra cost for modern fire
proof hospital is so little (1-20th of
a cent on the dollar) nobody should
consider that. 1t is to be mo one
mans affair" The people will choose
their own board of managers by
popular vote.
If any of your family needs it's
benefits it is close to home and the
charges reasonable. I'm for and will
do what | can to see itcarry.
Very respectfully, Scott Kerr.

FOR COUNTY HOSPITAL.

Benton City, Mo. Rid 2, March 26,
Audrain Co. Hospital COMMITTEES:
l want to express to the present Hos
pital Board my gratitude for what
the present hospital has done for my
family. Two of my daughters have
been patients in your hospital, an
operation performed on each of them
My eldest required second operation.
she having been previously operated
on in a st. Louis hospital. She did
not fully recover from the st. Louis
care so l found it necessary to take
her to Mexico for a second operation.
am happy to say after treatment
and operation there she is rounding
into a full recovery. My second
daughter had acute appendicitis at
Il a. m. and at eight p. M. she was
operated on and is in perfect health.
Had it been necessary to take her to
St. tLouis,I doubt If she had survived.
want to add that both of my
daughters received every attention
in our home hospital and was not
robbed either--I mean the expense
was less than my city experience.
am glad to have opportunity to vote
for a good modern Audrain Hospital
on the 5th of April.
The taxation is so little nobody
would miss it, and no one knows
when its necessity will come into his
own family didn't know until /
had the actual experience.
Yours respectfully, j. e. NOrthcutt.

Benton City, Mo. March 25.-Au-
drain Co. Hospital Committee: 1t
seems to me that no conscientious
citizen of Audrain can afford to pass
up the chance April to vote "Yes"
for a modern and permanent fire
proof hospital. A county is judged
by its institutions. No institution can
give greater benefits than a modern
hospital. My wife having been a re-
cent patient in the present hospital,
the necessity of a hospital comes
straight home to me.
In serious sickness, accident or op-
Grafton it is the only place you can
get proper attention, and if the pres
ent hospital closes up shop-its St.
Louis or Kansas City, maybe loss of
life, maybe loss of possessions.
Out of 1000 patients treated at
the present hospital, 20 per cent
have been from county or town out
side of Mexico. More than half have
been cared for at half cost or free.
If the biggest tax payer will fig
ure out (less than half mill on the
doilar) he will find the cost so small
it will not even enter into his con-
sideration. Have spoken to many in
my vicinity and 1 believe Benton City
and surrounding country will vote
for it to man. Respectfully Yours,
GEO. KELLERHALS.

New York Post: The Americans

of an expert operator, Is regarded as
the equivalent of from 50 to so rifles,

Rhine cities, and even in Berlin,
they will not be Gained overmueh
by the news that 100000 aerial
bombs are now ready for American
use.

for. each relative in the service on

that is wounded and gold star for
one that is killed. There is, how
ever, no law on the subject.
In 1916 the United States bought
nearly 66 per cent of Canada's bond
issues, Canadian investors taking
practically all the remainder. In
1917 Canada purchased more than
IS per cent Of its bond issue.
1t is estimated that S per cent Of

centage ranging from two in the case

Peace By the Sword

Fundamental principles" There is just one
fundamental principle of the conclusion of peace,
and it was never more clearly stated than when
President Wilson, on signing the new man
power BILL said:
We solemnly purpose a decisive victory Of
arms"
Until that victory comes-until Germany and
its chief partner in crime meet their Waterloo,
their Appomattox, their Yorktown-there must
be no peace, nor talk Of peace. And the peace
I that then will come will not be talked-out
peace with the criminal nations, but peace of
justice given them by the sword.
Itis only by beating the bullying Teuton to
his knees and making him impotent to repeat
his rape OF law and right that peace can come
to the world. -.. .s.
Onward, then, TO that decisive victory we SOL
EMMY purpose, be il matter of months or years

Just so are other walls being torn down, walls of

The consequences of this may soonest be felt in
Mesopotamia, which when it is thrown open for
restoration to its ancient dignity as one of the
great granaries OF the world will also be open
to the spade of the archeologist. Under its
dunes and dust heaps which mark the sites of
ancient cities priceless treasures of antiquity,
treasures OF art and literature undoubtedly lie
buried. Excavations have .ior ages been either
rare or impossible because of the bigoted atti-
tude Of the Turkish rulers of the territory. This

Why the Democrats Are Worried.

Not all of the democratic desire to control
the next congress rests on the excessive patri-
otism of the party leaders. 1t may be that some
OF their anxiety arises from a source entirely
removed from any purpose of supporting the
president, To fully appreciate this we must
keep in mind that the chairman of every impor-
tant comittee in either house, with the excep-
ton of the senate committees on foreign rela-
tons and military affairs, is southern demo-
crat. To get an idea Of what this has meant
and may mean, look over this list of expend-
lures by states in connection with the govern
ments war activities at home:

Emancipation for Poker PLAYERS

Now and then, through the haze of uncer.
tainty that surrounds the path of human
progress, lending doubt to hestating feet, some
tall form arises to point the way dispelling fear
and encouraging advance. Such guide post
is Judge Joseph Corrigan Of New York, who
dismissed in his court charges against prisoners
accused of betting on horse races, playing poker
and loahng. 1T is not crime to bet on the
races" said the magistrate. Anybody can bet
as much as they want to without committing a
crime, and can also play poker. There are. a
number of things that man can still do with
out committing crime. They are all dis
charged" Oh, wise and learned Judge. how
sweet thy name will sound in ears of those to
whom the click of the chip as it submerges in
the jackpot is music divine. How often will
voices, worn with repeating That's goodl" be
raised to praise thee and eyes strained by search
for pairs will lift beared looks to thee in I'M
feigned alteration. The one great difficulty
will be to get other courts to adopt Judge Cor
rigan's views

1t seems a pity, however, that a city

gressive as the citizens of any city

courage that they fail to do their
duty when a crisis arises l am re-

ease, the picture shows, to remain

One theater in Council Bluffs
showed its respect to it's patrons and

ously and was disappointed when 1t
waited until the theaters were closed
by the state before censuring the
action of the local officials. have
talked to scores of people in this re-
gard and have failed to find one who
upheld the action of the council.
