ut. JosEPH's HOSPITAL

The progress of any community In
measured to u great extent by its
advance along civic lines. the elova-
tion OF It's standards and the beauty
and usefulness of Its public institu-
tions. All these things depend upon
the people of the community getting
together IN a broadminded and pub
lie spirited way. and forgetting their
own small interests, subscribing gem
erously TO the bigger things that tend
to promote the general welfare.
Burns needs "a hospital. The only
way for her to get one IN for all her
citizens to pitch IN and build one.
Even though II may cost us some
sacrifice. II is n real need aud we
must have Il. Therefore when you
are called upon to do your bit. do Il
cheerfully and do not begrudgo II
because you yourself may be the one
that will need and appreciate n good
hospital in your homo town or coun-
~.
Burns is very fortunate In having
the Sisters 10 run this hospital along
the most up TO date ns well as econ
omicai lines. There arc several
other cities OF Oregon far larger than
Burns which are trying TO get Sisters
for their hospitals and cannot sue
coed. Lakeview Is going ahead and
building a splendid hospital In the
hope OF getting some Sisters To run
Il. The Dailes. La Grandc and En-
terprise are all trying TO yet Sisters.
and are putting forth every induce
ment for them to come but 30 far
none of them have succeeded. Tho
city OF Salem has recently offered tho
Sisters OF Mercy one hundred thous-
and dollars II they will but come and
open n hospital within her limits.
The people OF these cities are not
Catholics any more than are the peo-
pie of Burns. but like the people OF
Burns they realize that these women
are best adapted 10 conduct nos
pital properly and economically who
have left father and mother and
home and have consccrated their tai
ents their ability their strength and
their lives to the service OF the sick
and the poor. Z
Why don't the Sisters build their
own hospitsif Perhaps they would
II We would let them. but We don't
want them to. We will more than
appreciate II n they will be willing
to run OUR hospital. II will be our
hospital In every sense OF the word II
we build II. II will be open 10 all
physicians and to all
patients rich or poor. young or old.
Christian and non-Christian alike. 40

use some real salsemanship and
get the surplus pure bred bulls out
where they will do some good for the
other fellow as we'll as yourself" /"
urges ID. 8. Bullock. OF the Wisconsin
College OF Agriculture. who has been
aiding In the campaign TO improve
the quality OF Wisconsin herds.
"IIow many farmers and breeders
advertise in rural town papers the
fact that they have half a dozen bulls
for sale?" he asks. mot very many.
Perhaps not one In fifty." is his ans
wer.
"lIow many get printed list OF
the stock they have for sale and send
this list to county agents In this and
other states or even to secretaries
OF breeders associations OF that par
ticular breed IN this state?Not very
many. Perhaps not even one in n
hundred.
Here. We believe. is a golden op-
portunity for breeders OF pure bred
cattle to boost their breed In their
county. 10 assist many to get started
with better stock. and TO boost the
Better Bull Campaign In their COM
munity.
Let's sell them and not Just walt
for some one To come and buy them"
And Mr.. Bullock might have add
cd that tho same Ia true OF many 9TH
or things tho farmer has to sell. from
chickens TO acres. Hundreds OF
Thousands in this country are bene-
nting by their use OF printers Ink
by constant use. Why shouldn't tho
farmer make advertising serve him
and bring him profits?
