The abundant warm sunshine Of
the past week, with cessation of
rain, has done wonders for growing
crops, vegetables and fruits. ~ In, the
strawberry harvest particularly has
this improvement been most noticeable
to the writer. A week ago home-
grown Strawberries were weak and
scrawny, both as to size and color.
Now they are taking on great addi-
tional size, and their color makes them
most tempting.

on the condition of Hospital No. a, at
Pennington, under the efficient man
agement of DR.. J. l.. Eaton. Many
made in the conditions at this State
institution since DR.. Eaton . took
charge; it is now self sustaining. DR..
Eaton has thoroughly mastered the
situation, and has put the manage
ment on a business basis; harmony
now exists in every department of the
institution, which means much to the
inmates.-IlimO Jimpiicute.
The girls of the Junior Red Cross
! on Saturday cleared through the sale
of flowers on the street, $50. The
flowers were donated to the cause and
therefore everything taken in was
clear. This nice sum which was OBJ
tanned by the Junior Red Cross girls
will go with the funds collected by the
Senior Red Cross to the Second Red
Cross War Fund. The Junior Red
Cross has been doing good work every
since it was organized and this is on
ly one of the good things that they,
have done. They deserve commenda~
ton for the good work they have
done. - ~

Certain self appointed "censors"
have beeferiticising The Times, more
or less severely the past week, for
the manner in which it told at least
part of the exact truth regarding
the talks made in this city last week
by Harry Norwood, who was said to
have been sent out by the Red Cross
Society from st. Louis. Such critics
seem to think that it. is thcsduty of
The Times to hold its nose when pass
ing such naxious odors, until they
are finally dissipated by Gods own
fresh air. But The Times has a
slightly different view of it's duty in
such premises. 1t believes in trying
to find an immediate disinfectant or
antidotc for such foul odors, for the
relief of the public. In other words,
this paper contends that no real good
can be accomplished by throwing a
Neii over purifying carcass. Any
way, The Times editor is not that
kind of a "buzzard". Truth at all
times is the best possible remedy.
