PUBLIC NURSING SERVICE

The Public Health Nursing Service
of Brookings county will be known as
the Brookings County Visiting Nurse
Association and will be under the di-
rection of the County Red Cross Chap
ter until the community will be ready
to undertake the responsibility. The
work will be carried on under the
general rules adopted by the Red
Cross for the guidance of public health
nursing service throughout the United
States. The nursing Of patients shall
be carried on only under the direction
of physicians. The nurse will visit
schools to inspect the school children
and will notify the parents of defects.
Experience has shown that the scope
of usefulness Of a public health nurse
is greatly ~broadened in a community
by placing the work on a business
basis, as many families who would
not request the service of a nurse
when the service is on a free basis.
will readily do so when a fee is
charged. Charges for hourly service
between the hours of 8 a. m. and 5
D. m. will be $1.00 for the first hour
and so cents for each consecutive adj
ditional hour. Free nursing will be
given where patients are unable to
pay. No charges for nursing service
shall be made for any man serving
in the army or navy or their families,
or from any permanently disabled
man discharged from the army or
navy or his family. Such service
Such service which the Red Cross can
render them Should be considered as
cherished privileges as is the similar
service rendered to our army and
navy. Calls for the Red Cross Public
Health Nurse will be received It the
Red Cross rooms In the Court House,

intendent's Office, phone L-320. In case

DR.. Y r G.. HOPKINS

A tribute by II. Howard Bilgar.
In the great auditorium III the Uni.
versity of Illinois, on November It'll,
the funeral Of DR.. Cyril G. Hopkins
was heidi From all over Illinois and
from other states, men and women
came with bowed heads to pay tribute
to this man among men. | am writing
this from Illinois where DR.. Hopkins
wrought his great tasks. On every
side for the past few weeks | have
heard expressed many, many times,
the keen sorrow hat each one feels
over the passing away Of this forceful
worker for a better agriculture and
for better homes and communities.
Perhaps the finest single piece of ap-
probation of the man has come from
Dean Davenport, his co-worker for
so many years. Dean Davenport said
in part: "Dr. Hopkins had II great
fault. He utterly forgot himself in
his concern for others" Scattered
information coming from Greece o n
firms the fact that DR.. Hopkins siren
utDuS yCdl Vi otINl ~ IiclC, was "
rectly responsible for his untimely
death.
He was keenly interested in the
great war. Too old to go himself, he
still felt that he must render service
somehow, somewhere, and so under
the auspices of the American Red
Cross he went to Greece. Familiar
as he was with every phase of soil
problems he began a t~ireless investi-
cation of the soils of that country,
He wrote a bulletin which has been
translated into the Greek-a bulletin
giving concise information and rec
concentrations for making the farms
more productive. He had shipments
of sweet clover seed and limestone
which showed in a striking way, some
of the agricultural needs of Greece,
often before sunrise he and his faith
full assistant, Lieutenant Bucyacous
we're boring for soil samples and max
ing surveys Of agricultural conditions.
The food was poor, travelling and liv-
ing conditions were hard, and from
time to time they were in the typhus
infected areas of that far-away coun-
try. The time came to go home. For
weeks they waited for a steamer. Lit
tie did DR.. Hopkins realize h a he
should never again see the loved ones
of the homeland or the state where
he so nobly wrought.
DR.. Hopkins was not a mere theor-
list. In the poorest agricultural Sec
ton of Illinois he purchased a farm,
which he called "Poorland Farm" He
built up that farm slowly step by
step until 1t was a most impressive
example of the truths he had always
tried to strike home. 1t Is now one
of the most fertile farms in Illinois.
DR.. Hopkins taught US that the soil
would wear out under certain farming
methods, but he was a constructive
optimist for he also explained and
demonstrated how soils could be re-
stored again. His was the gospel of a
permanent agriculture.

of $11.61 Each

Bids for the. furnishing and sale
of water meters to the city of Col
vile were opened Tuesday night at
meeting of the city council, coun-
cilmen Hartwell, Droz, Artman and
English being present. Five bids
were received, including those Of
the Pittsburgh, Canon, Crane, Hersey
and Neptune meter companies. The
bid of the Pittsburgh Meter company
was accepted and it was decided to
purchase 300 of their Arctic meters
at cost of $11.61 each, including
connections.
Descriptions of the meters for
which bids were considered are as
follows:
Canon Meter Co.-Watch Dog
meter; 5s Inch meter, frost proof,
with couplings, SO each. This
meter has disc speed of 295 revo-
lutions per cubic foot registered.

Many questions are being asked
about the meter chosen by the
council. Some citizens are asking
if all the meters We're taken into
consideration at the meeting and
on what qualifications the decision
was made. They ask whether price
was the deciding factor or the less
speed of the disc. If it were the
low speed of the disc, some ask why
meter having a speed Of 294 revo-
lutions per cubic foot was purchased
when two meters We're offered at
268 revolutions, one at lower
price at 295. These questions can
only be answered by the councilmen
themselves.

SENATOR JOHNSON OBJECTS
TO EXTRAVAGANT BILLS

Besides keeping Stevens county
and his own name before the public
almost daily, by reason of his ac-
tivity and good publicity methods,
Senator w. Lon johnson has jumped
into the limelight in calling a halt
to senatorial extravaganza in play
ing politics with public money. After
bills had been passed appropriating
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
useless armories for various favored
towns, Senator Johnson gave notice
that he would call for 100000 for
an armory at Colville-and he did
so by presenting a senate bill to
that effect
The Spokane Chronicles legisla-
tive representative says of the fight
on the Johnson bill: Senator
Johnson's bill was defeated by vote
of II to %, but he won his point,
that the senate had been running
wild on matters of this kind and a
halt was necessary to save the state
from bankruptcy. AS a result of
his fight the two armories bills
passed yesterday, appropriating
100000 from the state funds, will
be called back upon reconsideration
and the senate will try to reverse
itself. The senators are hearing
from home This wac acknoy1adoo
during the debate when senator
after senator told Of receiving word
protesting against the high ap-
preparations. The Colville armory
bill was introduced by Senator John
son for the express purpose of open
ing a debate which would show the
senate that a great many of its
appropriation measures to date had
been enacted upon questions of poll
tics and friendship instead of merit" Z"

number SO, now before the legisla-
ture, will be passed. 1t contains

cured from animals killed under per-
mits as above. All money so col
lected to go into the state and coun-
ty game fund.

dents of the state while the state
license is raised from S. to $15.
The nonresident license is raised
from $40 to $50. Women and
minors under the age of 16, who are
actual residents Of the state, are not
required to have license, nor are

Union army required to have a
license to hunt or fish.
No license will be issued to any
person who is not a citizen of the
United States. except citizens of
those nations bordering upon and
contiguous to the United States.

WORK OF REPRESENTATIVES
SEEN IN ROAD BID CALL

"We feel assured of the $150,000
for Stevens county roads," writes
Representative AL Weatherman from
Olympia, land are feeling awfully
good over the results" He states
that he and Kulzer have worked
hard to get this road proposition
and the Columbia river basin project
through.
Following on the heels of the leg
islature's action in reappropriat-
ing unexpended balances in the state
highways funds and in making an
emergency appropriation of $4,000
for the improvement of the Olympic
highway, James Allen, state highway
commissioner, has issued call for
bids on highway improvements in
cluding one from the Spokane coun-
ty line north for ID miles on the In
land Empire highway. This is to
be new construction, grading and
graveling. If bids are satisfactory,
this project among the others may
be started by April 1, affording i'm
mediate employment to any idle
men in the state.

something toward developing an in

atize the musical training as much
as possible"
Miss Hallowell came to Colville
last year from Chicago, where she
received her musical training. She
was associated in musical work with
William Boeppler in that city. Her
professional ability was recognized
at once when she came to Colville
and the students of the high school
consider themselves fortunate in
their new opportunity. Miss Halo
well is especially interested in the
problem of the small town and its
music and has been asked to speak

charge of the music. Wednesday
morning of this week she tried out
over $50 voices and stated that she

TWENTY DIE OF INFLUENZA
IN COLVILLE AND VICINITY

There have been twenty deaths in
Colville and vicinity resulting from
influenza during the epidemic here,
according to the records of the local
registrar, Miss Nellie Joos.
The first death occurred October
%, and the last victim of the in
fuenza died December 20. There
have been no deaths from influenza
in Colville this year.
Influenza is almost forgotten in
Colville now. DR.. Henderson, the
city health officer, reports no homes
quarantined because of the influenza.
Dances have been permitted to take
place and all public gatherings have
been removed from the influenza
ban.
But five new cases in the county
were reported to County Health Of
ficer Clark last week, two near Col
vile and three in Chewelah. DR..
Clark states that the epidemic has
practically disappeared.

ing. The farm bureaus, therefore,
are planning to give special at
tention to cooperation in marketing
for the coming season. 1t is thought
that unusual attention must be given
this subject if farmers are to Sc
cure returns sufficient to cover the
high cost of production during the
period of decreasing prices likely to
follow the war and meet the world
situation as it is.
There is every reason to believe
that notwithstanding the high cost
Of labor, machinery, seeds, feeds,
fertilizers, ETC., the farmers of the
United States will continue to grow
the normal amounts of agricultural
products. But because of decreased
war needs and increased production
in European countries, the farmers
will need to give special attention
to cooperation and efficiency in
standardizing, grading, and market
ing, if they are to be able to sell
their products at prices that will
equal the cost of production.
In the farm bureau the farmer
has an agency for effective organ
lied cooperation with each other and
with the federal department of ag-
riculture and state governments in
studying problems of production and
marketing which will greatly aid in
meeting the situation. At this
time, states Mr.. Smith, the farmers
should spare no effort to strengthen
these county farm bureaus and
other county organizations for the
efficient handling of problems of
production and marketing and for
availing themselves of the help of
the state and federal governments
along both of these lines.
The Stevens county farm bureau
plans to work along the line of
marketing and to further the plans,
is establishing an exchange paper.
E. C. Durdle, county agriculturist,
has done much valuable organizing
work among the communities of the
county in relation to the farm bureau
plan of cooperation between the
county agent and the farmer.

FARMERS THINK MARKETING
BIGGEST FUTURE PROBLEM

That farmers regard assistance in

importance to the assistance given

of the extension work north and
west in the States Relation service.
He states that this is brought out In
