THE AMERICAN
WOMEN'S HOSPITALS

When America entered the great
war, the American Women's ios-
pitfalls offered their united services
to the Red Cross and the Govern
ment. And, Immediately upon being
accepted, they began to send abroad
splendid company of women ply
sicians-the most brilliant in the
profession. Since 1917 they have
opened two hospitals in the Cha
teau Thierry region OF France one
at Luzancy with a chain of 13 dis
pensaries and another at La Ferte-
Milon, as well as establishing,
through the American Red Cross, a
Children's Hospital at Blois, and a
dispensary at Levallois near Paris.
A hospital in Serbia has been in
continuous and successful operation
for over year These hospitals
have, since being opened, helped
some 10000 people.
This year the American Women's 8
Hospital is launched upon cam
paign to raise $250,000 for the en-
largement of their work in Serbia
and the near east. The American
Women's Hospitals has proved what
il can do in France. Ii has proved
that its physicians can stamp ont
epidemics, that its surgeons can eff
feet wonderful cures. And it wants,
now, chance to prove what it can
do in Serbia. 1t wants a chance TO
show the nation that it can save one
life for every one of the 250,000 dol
lars that will be raised
Miss Martha Eokford of the Hy-
giene Department, |. /. and c., is
the chairman of the American, Wo-
mems Hospitals in this city All
who desire to aid in this splendid
work may send checks to her. Please

NHY WE SHOULD BUY
VICTORY BONDS

The Dispatch gladly gives space
to the following well-written essay
ON "Why We Should Buy Victory
Bonds" by little Margaret Love,
thirteen years old, student OF
Franklin Academy;
We should all buy Victory Bonds
to bring the boys home from France
TO their loved ones that they left, to
sacrifice their life and all their
pleasures for their country, and its
honor.
Another object of buying Vie
tory Bonds is to help the Govern
ment in the great struggle to raise
money to pay the war Indebtedness
which is now overwhelming.
Another object of buying Victory
Bonds is to show our appreciation
to those who are so dear and near
to us and sacrificing their life in
helping to protect our country Tor
those they love.
Another object in buying Victory
Bonds is not only to help the gov
ernment, but to lay up treasures for
ourselves in the future.
Another object in buying Victory
Bonds is to float great vessels on
the high seas in time of war and
peace.
Another object of buying Victory
Bonds is to bring fathers back to
their children, to bring husbands
back to their wives, to bring broth
ers back to their sisters, and TO
bring sweethearts back to their
sweethearts.
Another object of buying Victory
Bonds is to keep the home fires
burning.

ably, and bonds will be issued in

thority to issue bonds up TO 10 per
cent of the assessed valuation Of
the property of the district. The

tpict 4 and 40 were cast for it. The

MANAGER DEALS TROUBLES.

With the increase of telephone
rates offered by the government,
Manager Deall has had enough trou-
BILE, but when his home paper over
states the increase of rates then he
surely has a kick coming.
Wednesdays Dispatch announced
the increase of rates, which was
enough to set a whole lot of phones
iingling, but when the Dispatch an
,nounced that the increase for home
phones went from two to four dol
lars, there was stampede in the
calls for the manager. 1t was just
a biographical error, that's all, for
the new rate for home phones will
be $2.25, instead of $500. And
goodness knows, this is enough.
