A Lively Runaway

The milky way was plain to be
seen in River Falls last Monday.
Fact is, there were more bottles
strewn around Main street that
morning than in several moons past.
All this came about when the team
of horses attached to the Meyer
dairy milk wagon decided to run
away, just before noon. The team
was standing in front Of the Stew
art Mercantile Cos store when they
became frightened and ran down the
west side of Main street. Fortu-
nately, there was nobody ION the
wagon " In front Of Falteisek's
tonsorial parlors the team took to
the sidewalk. the wagon striking the
curb, smashing two wheels and leav-
ing trail of milk and broken bot
ties behind. The base continued to
Dunn's hardware store when the
team cut across and collided with a
Ford car. They continued on down
the street and dashed into q team
hitched in front of Wadsworth s
shoe store. The runaways and
what was left of the milk
wagon dashed into another rig and
stopped near Hamilton's grocery
1t is almost miracle that no one
was injured in the mix-up. Even
the team escaped with few cuts
and bruises.

BIG CZECH ARMY IN FRANCE
10000 Men Added To Forces of
Allies.


London, Jan. Recommending on

n France, which was authorized by
decree printed in the French Off

emma Neue Freie Presse says the
army already numbers 100000 men.
Although it will not have any de-
cislve influence on the military oper-
ations, the newspaper adds, yet
It may do us considerable harm in
the event of the transfer Of Aus

The greatest harm, however, is the

RICHMOND WILL HELP
SHORTAGE OF NURSES
Shortage of Doctors and Nurses to Be
Met by Training Nurses
Attendants.

Since the outbreak of the war the
demand for nurses training for public
health work has increased enorn GUS
ly. This arises from the fact that the
public health nurse, perhaps more
than any other agency. is prepared by
training and experience to help to
meet the health problems among the
civil population which the war has
produced. To meet this demand the
school of social work and public
health in cooperation with the state
board of health is offering snort
four months course of training In
health nursing to begin October LIST
Among the most serious health
problems growing out OF the war &C
cording to DR. Ii. r. Hibbs, Jr.. dtrec-
tor of the school Of social work and
public health, is the shortage OF doc
tors in the small towns and rural
communities whore such large pro
portion of physicians have left their
civil practice to enter military service.
This is serious problem, especially
in the country and smaller towns
How is il to he met? Not by the
training Of more doctors, because inns
is TOO slow a process. The health
nurse can help TO meet 1t in two ways
at least. First by conserving the pub
lie health. and thus reducing the
amount of sickness TO he treated by
physicians. and second, by the pro
vision Of an adequate mum her of pub
lie health or visiting nurses TO work
with and under the direction OF ply
eicians who remain. thus enabling
them TO effectively care for consid-
erahly larger number Of patients.
There can be no question that the
organization of a visiting nurse. serV-
ice in the rural communities and
small towns OF the south modelled
after the Instructive Visiting Nurse as
ISOLATION 0: Richmond. Norfolk and
other large cities. will lessen constd-
erably the danger Of suffering incident
to the calling OF physicians from pri-
vat practice into the army
The health nurse and wartime
health conservation The second
measure necessary 10 meet the cmer-
gency is analogous to the food cohser-
vation campaign The people old
and young alike, must be taught to
conserve health during the war Just
as they are taught to conserve food
and for the same patriotic reasons

Shrewd Russian
Reaps Huge Profit
in Simple Scheme

Hardin, Manchuria, Aug. 10
While wealthy people here are gam
bling feverishiy with roubles on the
chance of winning through interven-
ton, there is in Japan. quietly netting
at regular intervals immense sums as
the result of the eoh and flow in the
value OF the rouble, Russian tinan-
cial genius who has built up an ex-
traordinary rouble selling and buying
organization.
The story of this organization
its founder a million roubles {nomi-
nally $500, oo0) profit monthly. is GER
tainly one of the most remark BILE
romances of the war.
1t must be understood that the
value of the rouble differs according
to the place. For instance, ii may be
dear at Vladivostok when 1t is cheap
al Harlan, and vice versa. The essen
tial fact Is that the price Of the rouble
at New York. Toxic. Picking. Chang
chun. Hardin. Vladivostok and Shang-
hal is never the same.
Here, then, is the secret OF the huge
profits of this shrewd rouble dealer
BY means of his perfect organiza-
ton he is continually buying in a
cheap and selling in a dear rouble
market. The system Is simplicity
itself. so much so that II is a wonder
that this field of enterprise is left
almost entirely to him.
The system requires immense initial
capital and perfect knowledge OF ex-
change rates, which the rouble king
possesses. as well as his clearing
house. He has no worries He can
not help making extraordinary profits
but one pities the wretches who have
not the same financial skill and who
cannot sleep for thinking whether
they ought TO keep in roubles or In
yen the part of their fortune which
they saIved in the Russian debacle

COMMUNITY LEAGUES
SHARE ALL WAR WORK
school Community Leagues Ala I'm
Red Gross, War savfags. Liberty
Loan Campaagns

! At the very outbreak of the war the
/ leaders Of the United States govern
ment began to realize tho necessity
for cooperation on the part Of the
people even In the remotest rural sec
| tons. and the call came from national
and state officials for some type OF
community organisation that would
bind the people together and bring
them to unitedly support war emer-
gency activities. This work has been
going on for the past decade under
the direction of the Cooperative Edu-
cation association. and more than 1000
organized communities were ready and
| willing to respond to the f1rst call
that was made for war emergency
| work. Since that time these Com
munity leagues have been responding
to every call that has been made, until
they have made for themselves a great
and lasting record.
The Cooperative Education associa-
ton is really a co-ordipating organi-
zation through which a large number
of our state departments are brought
into closer contact with each other
and thereby enabled to promote their
work more successfully in the rural
communities. and the heads OF these
state departments along with num-
Der of the leading citizens of Rich
nond, compose the executive commit
ISOLATION and direct its work.
This association renders It's service
most effectively by organizing the
people of the SCHOOL communities into
A Community league, furnishes them
a working program, grants them every
aid possible for the development of
their work. brings them in touch with
the different state organizations and
then brings these workers together
in an annual meeting in connection
with the state educational conference.
These leagues had been doing such
work as school Improvement. road i'm
provment improvement of sanitary con-
ditions, improvement of social condi-
tons for number of years
Through these organizations hun
dreds of rallies were arranged i'm
mediatcly after the declaration Of war.
TO interest the people in increas in &
production, and the leagues had no
small part in helping our great state
to increase it's production even under
adverse conditions, Because of their
effective work in that respect they
were next called on TO aid in food con
servation. and in the communities
where there were well organized
leagues practically every household
was induced to sign the food pledge
card.
They were again called on TO aid in
the Red Cross campaign, the liberty
loan and war savings stamp campaign,
the Y. NJ G.. A and camp activities
cam paigns
The annual reports that are being
received from these leagues indicate
that during the past year they have
raised thousands Of dollars for the sup
port Of the Red Cross and the Y. NJ. c.
A. and were instrumental in selling
several hundred thousand dollars
worth OF liberty bonds In their lat
est effort they have co-operated with
the war savings organization and been
instrumental in selling thousands Of
dollars worth OF war savings stamps
