We note that the little stretch OF
road between Loughman and Kissim-
NEE is actually going to be complet-
ed some of these days-at least the
State Highway Department has or
dered the contractor to resume work
upon it. This little piece of bad
road has caused more damage to au-
tos and the morals Of autoists than
perhaps any like amount of mileage
in the world, and when it is really
finished angels and auto drivers will
smile and the devil weep.

of the returned soldiers. The poor

may never get well at all. His broth
er came back and died before he
reached home. Just after this fell
low got back the father died. Such

so many nurses are away on yaca-
ton could not. He really doesn't
need a special nurse.
Have just finished my course in the
laboratory. It was very interesting
but I like to work with people. The
best thing got to do was to take
white blood counts. We get a little
blood from a person and dilute 1t,
put it on little slide under the nj
croscope and count the white blood
cells; 1000 to 10000 is normal. Much
below may indicate typhoid and much
above shows pus If the count is
around 10000 it means talmost sure

This fellow was taking these horses
and that rancher will have to begin all

So far as mother or any of us are
concerned there is nothing to worry
about The fires are bad but are
west of here; no chance OF forest
fires here or east of here. OF course
the prairie can burn but there is no
fire here. Great damage is being
but to property / believe.
There was great doings in Chicago
between the races. When was there
the south side was considered a nice
residence district and the negroes
were moving in so that they were
