NARSHFIELD
From the Marshfeld Herald
Esteemed Marshfield Citizen Passes


Anton K1einheinz, one of Marsh
fields prominent and esteemed pioneer
business men, passed away at the fam
lily residence at 301 South Cedar street,
at 400 o'clock Thursday afternoon.
His demise came sudden and unex-
pected-a great shock to the family
and the people of this community.
Mr.. Kleinheinz had been ailing slight
| ~ for several months, but his condi-
ton was not considered serious and
he had busted himself in the usual du-
ties connected with his business up to
last Monday when he was compelled
to remain in bed. From that time until
the hour of his death he rapidly be-
came weaker and weaker until the
final summons came, death being due
to heart failure.
At the business mems noon day
luncheon held Thursday at the Elks
Club, the usual capacity crowd was
present. Hon. B. r. Goggins of Grand
| Rapids was the principal speaker Of
the occasion and delivered one of the
best patriotic talks ever listened to
by our people.
A little accident, but one that de-
Elayed train service, occurred Monday
morning at the Northwestern depot.
An engine that had just been filled
with coal was being backed into the
round house. Not noticing until too
| late, that the turn table was turned
half around, the engine or rather the
tender, was backed into the pit. A
wrecker was sent for to put the engine
back on the track. This was not ac-
complished until late in the afternoon
and until that time all the engines in
the round house were imprisoned and
the incoming ones had to remain out
in the cold.
NJ E. Murphy of Alberta Canada is
in the city on visit to his uncle, John
| McLane. He was with the Canadian
troops when they went to France and
served ten months in the trenches. He
was wounded nine times and finally
discharged from service with stiff
knee.
Constance, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. D. Conner, has been very sick the
past week with pneumonia. At last
taccounts she was reported better.
Grand Rapids is getting short on
water. The water works superintend-
ent has given notice that unless the
people Of that city want to drink river
water, they must be less wasteful Of
the present supply.
Down at Grand Rapids, to Hoover
ize on coal, the Methodist and Con-
gregational churches, have agreed on
holding alternate Sunday services.
A two-year old SOW pig of the Duroc
strain sold for $3.50 at an auction sale

BABIES
WORTH
HAVING

''Give me intelligent motherhood and
good prenatal conditions, and I have
no doubt of the future of this or any
other nation" This is a good patriot
ic sentiment of John Burns which
should impel everybody to take an
interest in the intelligent campaign
that is being waged to reduce the need
less slaughter and the pitiless torture
of newborn babies.
1t is estimated that one in every
eight babies dies during the first year
of life. Fifty per cent of these die
| because Of ignorance of the mother of
| the proper means Of rearing her baby.
of those who survive death itself, some
will only half survive and will later
become victims of tuberculosis, of
Bright's disease, and many other pre-
ventable diseases, to escape which,
requires physical strength.
The latter consideration, it seems to
me, is an irrefutable answer to those
who say that they are interested only
in the attempt to save the lives of
those who were strong enough to sur
vive the first strain of life. To me,
death is not nearly so tragic as it is
to be only half alive. And, further
more, the only way that we can sue
cessfully combat some of the causes
Of preventable disease and premature
death is by beginning the work OF
prevention right back at the start.
With only a reasonable amount of
knowledge, it is so much easier to save
a baby's life, as a rule, than it is to
mourn its death and to pay the wasted
costs of suffering, nursing, care, me-
dical attendance, and other expensive
items that are part of the birth of
every baby. There is nothing obscure
or very difficult to Learn about the
fundamental principles of rearing ba-
/ bies successfully and easily.
To one who knows this as we'll as
intelligent parents do, it is amazing
that people should stumble along Sc
blindly when knowledge is SO cheap
and SO easily available as it is.
People who would not think of try
ing to start cabbage patch, or to own
a herd of scrubby cows without getting
the latest government bulletins, will
stumble along, mussing up a lovely
baby's life. This Bureau is ambitious
to save a few baby lives and we can
do it if we are only given the chance
to help people who need and desire
| help.

LESSON IN
ADVERTISING
Professor Lindley Thinks Publicity Is
Greatest Marvel of the Age.

Setting aside the generally accepted
belief that electricity and flying ma
chimes are the greatest marvels of the
age, DR.. E. H. Lindley, president of
the University Of Idaho, last week stat
ed in Pullman, Wash, that in his be-
lief the greatest marvel of the present
age is the remarkable development of
advertising to that point where the ad-
vertiser can impress his wishes upon
people, possibly thousands of miles
away, and cause them to do the thing
the advertiser wants them to do.
President Lindley spoke on the sub
ject at Pays to ADVERTISE" hsi ad
dress being the feature Of the annua1
open meeting of the Fortnightly Cluh
Of Pullman. The speaker dealt witt
advertising from the standpoint OF
psychology its effect upon the mind of
the person it reaches. He gave a num-
Der of interesting tests to the audi
ence to prove that constant advertis-
ing impresses the item advertised upon
the minds of the people, quoting parts
of time-worn advertising slogans while
the audience clamored to complete the
slogan.
