Class in Home Nursing and Hygiene.

The class in Home Nursing and. Hy-
giene is almost ready to start. The st.
Louis Office promises that a trained
nurse will be sent to us. The Iron
County Red Cross has arranged to pay
all the fees and buy all the books.
Every woman and girl who wishes to
prepare herself for the great work of
not only caring for the sick in her
home and community properly, but
who wishes to know how to prevent
disease from reaching her and her
friends, should take advantage of
this are opportunity. There will be
a class in the afternoon and also III
in the evening. You can come to eth
or one, as it suits you best. The course
consists of fifteen lessons. Any one
attending twelve of the lessons and
demonstrations will be allowed to take
the examinations. If you do not feel
willing to take the examination, come
on anyway and get the benefit of the
instruction. But they tell US that no
one who pays attention to the work
need fear the examination. After the
classes r held in Ironton, they will
be held in Belleview and in Des Arc,
and quite possibly a class in the West
End of the county. Remember, the
Iron County Red Gross wishes each
part of the county to receive the BEN
eft of this wonderful opportunity.
More and more it is hoped that efforts
will be made over the country in the
years to come to train the people to
care for the sick, but best of all to
debar sickness from coming to them.
We want the names of all who will at
tend, so send your name in at once to
the Chairman of the Committee for
this work, Mrs. DR.. Gay. Even if you
gave your name last spring, we want
to get it again and TO know how many
pupils to provide for.
MRS. MILFORD RIGGS,
Chairman Publicity Committee.

Mr.. Birmingham and party, a sort of
crevice cut in the rocks on the east
bank of this river, into which the larg-
est fish could not mount, unless the riv-
er was at nigh tide, and then it would
perhaps be fated to pound itself to
death on the rocks and never be per-
mitted to reach its home again.
AS to making inquiries, Mr.. Birming-
ham did that too, not OF a particularly
extensive scale, however, but sufi-
cient to learn that"fishermen and 9TH
ers'' there have acquired a habit of
catching the poor deluded fish on the
lower side of the dam, which often ac-
cumulate there in vast numbers in
looking for a possible passage of the
dam, in gunny sacks. The fish fol-
lowing their natural instinct to go to-
ward the ~headwaters, especially for
spawning, will take desperate chances,
and are therefore led into a blind pas
sage under the dam, the upward end
of which is closed, though considera-
BILE water passes through. When the
deluded fish attempt to turn back they
are taken captive in gunny sacks.
The information obtained was that a
number of Fredericktown ''sports.
men" have become quite expert fish
ermen, with that kind of bait.
We could go OF and tell several other
stories of things the Birmingham par
ty we're told goes on, at the dam and
Whereabouts. But what's the use?
Pennington wants no trouble with
Fredericktown. We are neighbors, SO
let Is be friends. And above all, let's
befair. Let's be fair with one anoth-
er, and also let's be fair to the fish
which are constantly becoming more
and more important in human affairs.
By artificial means the streams can
soon be practically depopulated of fish,
while if left untrammeled in their nat
ural condition, they will multiply
and propagate, and furnish both food
and pleasure for humankind.
1t is true that if fish were permitted
to pass Silver Dam that fishing on the
upper St. Francis river would be very
materially improved, to the great sat.
isfaction of sportsmen in this and 9TH
er counties. Is there anything I'M
lawful in that? But while the supply
of fish would be increasing in the up
per end of the river, through natural
spawning towards the rivers source lis
it difficult to understand that the wa
ters of the lower end would also be
more abundantly supplied with fish?
Human articles invariably succumb
when they conflict with natural laws.
And finally, The Times will say that
nothing was further from Mr.. Bir-
mingham's intention than the de-
~struction OF Silver Dam, even though
1t is not now. and apparently has not
for years past, been serving any use
full purpose. Therefore he has deter
mined to make only a ten or fifteen
foot opening through the dam on the
eastern end. This is his right, duty
and privilege as the efficient Game
and Fish Warden Of the State OF Mis-
souri,.
