COMMISSIONERS AUTHORIZE
COUNTY NURSE
Nurse Will Examine School Children
Report on County Charges, Hold
Glasses
State Will Pay $500 of Yearly Salary

The County Commissioners in ses-
sion Monday, made all necessary ar
rangements to secure for Lincoln
County, a county nurse. The duties
of the new county official viii be to
examine the school children of all city
and country schools, examine all sick
cases where aid is being requested Of
the county, hold classes of instruction
in home nursing and feeding the sick,
and give demonstrations and lectures
to the adults of the county.
The proposition was presented to the
County Commissioners by Mrs. f. G.
Gooding on behalf of the local chapter
OF the American Red Cross assisted
by Mrs. Frank Millsaps Miss Irwin
Of the Extention Dept University of
Ida, was present and explained the
operation and supervision of the coun-
" nurse system as worked out by the
State Exteation Bureau.
The communities of Shoshone, Rich
field and Dietrich who had commun-
ity nurses last year during the influ-
e1za epidemic have demonstrated the
great aid which a nurse can give to
prevent and control the various COM
rnunity diseases which annually visit
every neighborhood. The salary of the
county nurse is $500 a years3O0 of
which will be paid by the State.
The county nurse is the most neces-
sary agent to the community for the
coming year. Many noted physicians
over the United States have prophesied
a continuation of the influenza cpl
demfc for the next year and the county
nurse means that the children and pa
rents of Lincoln County will receive
close attention and care which VIII pre-
vent illness in the large majority of
cases. BY taking proper preventative
measures, a reoccurrance of the cpl
demic will have very little effect on
the community.

BEAUTY FOR LITTLE HOUSES
Mo Great Expenditure Needed 70 Give
Small A6odes Personality, Gem
fcrt ard Charm.

A page of houses in the Woman's
Home Companion carries the follow
ing encouraging thought:
Just because a house is little or
inexpensive is no reason why It
should not have personality. comfort
and charm. In the little community
group of homes located at Indian Hill.
near Worcester. Mass. this statement
has been proved beyond a doubt Here
there are well over fifty modest little
homes built on the unit plan. but
each one so individual that the effect,
taken both simply and collectively, is
artistic and picturesque to an inspir-
ing degree. Each little home fronts
the street and is set well back from il
so that it may have stretch of green
lawn There is a tree in every yard
and q place for a garden at the rear.
White walls. gray-green roofs, lattices
for vines over the windows and along
the porches make home pictures that
usually are only possible for weil-to-do
people 20 possess"

TYPES OF ROADSIDE SCENERY
Two Kinds Which differ Widely and
Each Of Which Is Worthy Of
Careful Consideration.

For many years it has been a Gus
tom with most people to plant trees
without regard to the ultimate -pur-
pose they would serve Little thought
has been given as to the most suitable
varieties for planting. or that there
might be sections along the roadway
where it would be Of advantage to cut
the existing trees, and IN this way
make the roadside scenery more in
teresting and attractive. A closer
study Of the problem. however, shows
that we have two distinct types Of
roadside scenery. The first may he
said 70 be where the trees. shrubs.
buildings, and other objects that bor-
der the highway form the element Of
the picture. with the roadway as a
central feature. Many places along the
roadside have no inducements what
ever as to special attractiveness. and,
in fact, the scenery may be Of a de-
cidedIy mOnotonous character. It is in
such a place that we may feel at lib
erty to plant according TO the sO-calIed
closed type.
The second type can De used Wnefe
the wide meadows. fields. and distant
landscape compose the picture, with
the roadside trees as frames. Exam
pies Of this type may be found in many
sections Of the state. where beautiful
vistas could be enhanced BY the pres
ence Of suitable shade trees In many
cases. trees along the highway form
screens so as 10 break up the long
stretches Of views along openings here
and there which make more attractive
the roadside scenery. - Chicago

Pushing Home-ownership idea.

Samuel Stern. who IS vice chairman
Of finance, in charge of building and
loan associations. has been informally
in touch with a large number OF the
1900 associations in New York He
reports that the solid support OF the
building and loan associations Is as
sured.
"No one said Mr.. Stern. realizes
the fact that the home-owner is one Of
the most decided factors in civic bet
terment than do the officers and d.
rectOrs OF building and loan associa-
tions. They are dealing with home
owners constantly and they know from
years OF experience that the responSi-
bilitieS and the prestige which come
from home ownership is a tendency 10
make the man far more interested in
his city than Is the non-hcne owner.

HANSEN BRIDGE OPENED.

Shoshone people will be greatly in
terested in knowing that the bridge
across Snake river at Hansen has been
opened TO the public. The opening GER
emonieS took place Thursday. Spe-
cial honors were extended to Judge
Lawrence Hansen by having him lead
the procession of state officers and
other able visitors in a grand march
across the bridge. Judge Hansen is
one of the pioneer settlers of Rock
Greek he having gone there when a
bridge across Snake river looked as
far ;wSv IS the second coming of
Christ Judge Hansen has seen some
wonderful changes in Idaho during the
years gone by and he has had his full
share of responsibility in bringing
them about. The honor conferred upon
him by the bridge committee was well
deserved.

e.rdens ProftabIe rhls year.

The home garden is likely 10 prove
a profitable investment OF effort this
year rs it has for the past several
seasons. in the opinion OF the United
States department Of agriculture. The
experience OF the past few years has
proved that persons who have s1ffi-
cient land and spare time. AMI wac
do their home gardening work intelli-
gently and efficiently. find it profitable.
The relatively high prices of praeti-
cally all foOdstuffS tend to increase the
saving effected. but the home garden
should be planned with a view 70
meeting the family needs rather than
Of producing crops for sale on the
market.
