COUNTRY FOLK WANT TO LEARN

Or. kepford Finds Country People
More Alive to Public Welfare.
Des Moines, Dec. 15.--City folks at
tend open and public welfare meetings
to be entertained.
Farmers and small town residents
attend the same meetings to learn and
absorb whatever knowledge may BE-
placed before them by speakers OF
lecturers.
City folks attend lectures and pub
Tic gatherings and never challenge
! statements Of the speaker.
Farmers and small town folks will
rise up" in open meetings and chal-
lenge any statement made by q
speaker IL they have the slightest
reason to believe the statement 81
fault.
Such are the observations Of DR..
A. E. Kepford lecturer for the state
bureau Of tuberculosis prevention
Further. DR.. Kepford asserts that you
can SELL your campaign in the city
with ease, but the sale" does not
stick. On the other hand, DR.. Kepford
says that once you have -sold" your
campaign to farm and small town
folk 1t stays sold and shows processes
far superior to city efforts.
DR.. Kepford in hy remarks holds
that the farmer aJh small town resi-.
dent are more In touch and more fully
appraised Of Red Cross work. disease
prevention propaganda, educational
matters and public welfare work than
are their fellow workers in the bigger
cities OF Iowa.
II find in my travels about the state
that more efficient leadership and
greater progress is made In disease
prevention work by the farmers and
small town residents" said DIR. KEEP
ford. City folks attend meetings to
be entertained. During the day they
give little thought to welfare prob
lens. On the other hand the farmer
reads and studies educational and dis
ease prevention propaganda.
1.-THE farmer studies statistics and
gives full attention to the problems OF
his community and state. He attends
meetings in the town hall or school.
He never hesitates to challenge any
remark made by q speaker. which may
be in variance with something ne has
read and studied. City audiences do
not do this. They Just listen.
ut is easier to interest city people
in an educational or health campaign.
However, their efforts do not carry the
weight required to make the work
successful. They forget too easily.
On the other hand, the farmer and
small town citizens develop real lead
ership They are slow to take up any
propaganda work. but when once they
take hold they produce wonderful and
telling results"

Keen ain Eye on Sterling.

Jewell Record: The Record has for
some time had 'hllnch' that Hamil-
ton county's new representative, John
G. Sterling, is going to make good III
his first term in the legislature. And
word that has come from Jewell friends
of Mr.. Sterling who were in Des MoincS
this week, and who received theil iTS
formation from very authoritative
source, certainly bears out the predic-
ton, so far as the start is concerned.
Mr. Sterling has made an exceptionally
good impression right at the STARE and
is going to fare exceedingly well in the
matter of committee appointments. The
committees in the house have not been
ANNOUNCED yet, but Mr.. Sterling is slat-
ed for two of the best and most iDlpor-
tant committees-appropr and
roads. To get on these two committees
is something to make old members feel
good and for a new man to get on both
them is '.going some" Mr.. Sterling
will also have other important COM
mittees, one of which will De one that
will aid him in giving service to these
of his constituents who are interested
lin the matter of the proposed improve
ment of Little Wall Lake, located south
of Jewell.
In regard to this matter Of the inn
|
provement of Little Wall Lake, dele
CATION of Jewell men were in Des
Moines Monday of this week to find out
what the prospects are. They put in
busy and gratifyingly successful day,
and returned home confident that jew
ellis lake will receive early and favor
able consideration. The lake is one of
| those that has been recommended for
improvement by the Iowa highway COM
mission, which surveyed all Iowa lakes
a few years ago at the direction of a
former Iowa legislature. But the pro-
gram that the state contemplates for
lake improvement and for the securing
and improvement Of Iowa public parks,
| is very extensive one, requiring con-
siderable funds and good many years
for it's carrying out. Consequently, 1t
cannot be hoped that everything can be
done at once, but the situation was
found to be very favorable for early
consideration Of Little Wall Lake The
matter was presented Monday in quar-
ters where it would do the most good
and some strong forces have been inter-
ested in working for the well merited
and early improvement of the lake here.
