A brief survey OF the work done by
Miss Edna Flanagan In the past
fourteen months will be interesting
ut this time to all Dickinson county.
In all departments Of the Abilene
chapter 5000 visits have been made,
including 633 nursing visits where
service was rendered. Approximate
ly, the baby scales have been used
800 times and at the present time rs
babies are enrolled and weighed reg
ularly each month.
During the six days work ut the
fair in 1919, 120 babies were exam
ined and weighed by physicians. At
the 1920 fair 600 school children and
many Of pre-school age were weighed
and measured ut the booth, thus
showing that the increased interest
In this department Is phenomenal.
In Solomon and Chapman alone
1872 pupils were vaccinated against
smallpox by local physicians assisted
by local health officer and Miss Flan-
nagan.

state is obviously capable of doing
greater things. / as citizen believe
that this year we should chooNe as Presi-

things: not to talk about them.
Much has been said of late about
good Americanism. 1t is right that it
should have been said, and it is right
that every chance should be seized to
repeat the basic truths underlying our
prosperity and our national existence
itself. The war was won by re-
publicans as well as by democrats.
Men of all parties served in our armed
forces. Men and women of all parties
served the government at home. They
strived honestly as Americans not as
! orti nd
democrats alike worked In admins
trative positions. raised liberty loans,
administered food control. toiled in
munition plants. built ships. The war
was brought to a successful conclu-
sion by glorious common effort-one
which in the years to come will be a na-
tional pride.
Even as the nation entered the war
for an ideal, SO it has emerged from
the war with the determination that
the ideal shall not die. It is idle to
pretend that the war declaration of
April s, 1917, was a mere act of self
defense. or that the object Of our
participation was solely to defeat the
military power Of the central nations
of Europe. We knew then as a ma
success on land and sea could be but
half a victory.

cratic party offers a treaty of peace,
