Arrived ut Nladivostok, the children
whose ages range from three to sew
enteen years, were held in quarantine
for the required period. then moved TO
Russian Island. about six miles from
the city, where military barracks were
made suitable for housing the colony.
Here. with most OF the Russian in
structors and nurses who left home
with them, and with additional Amer
lean personnel, as well fisherman and
Austrian prisoners of war to do the
heavy work. they have been given the
best of care ever since.
The colony has dental clinic, a
hospital and primary school classes.
The older children come daily into the
city to attend the commercial school.
the Brown school for girls and the
gymnasium (high school). Natural
talents, such as art and music. are
cultivated. Thirteen of the larger girls
took the course of training which fit

work If she might only be permitted TO
stay with the colony. Another Is
child of about twelve. who with her
two little brothers wandered all the
way from the region of the Black sea
so early in the great war that she has
forgotten her home town, the names
OF her parents and her own age. 1t Is
estimated G.000 children were sent
eastward from Petrograd. All trace
of hundreds of them has been lost.
Before the flight from Omsk became
necessary the Red Cross maintained
a colony at Turgoyak. Siberia. Into
the colony wandered two ragged. fam
ished children. The girl said she was
nine years old--and that is literally
all she could tell about herself. All
she could tell about her companion,
a Younger boy, was that he was her
"onliest brother" What those two
children had been through can hardly
be imagined. One group of Eve of
these miserable little refugees APP
peared at Vladivostok-a girl and her
four brothers. She was little mother"
of the outfit. One had lost leg.
They were orphaned and homeless.

The Bates County Hospital.

The county court, at its last regu-
lar meeting ordered the petition with
over one hundred petitioners calling
for a special tax levy for the purpose
of establishing hospital for Bates
county placed on the ballot, subject
to the decision of the voters It the
next general election in November.
AS stated before in previous ari-
Gle, this levy is small, only two mills
on the dollar for three years and rs
of one mill on the dollar for eight
wears thereafter. Anyone can esti-
mate in few minutes. the proper
tomato amount their increase would
be on their assessed valuation. With
large percentage it amounts onlysto
few cents, others perhaps = dollar,
and with only few would it exceed
the price of new hat-a mans hat.
This mathematical calculation is
grossly stated because of the fact 50
many are gun shy when they hear or
read of proposition in which taxes
are discussed.
Now that everyone fully UNDER
stands the amount of the levy let lis
consider seriously the proposition
All admit that a hospital has been
needed in Butler for forty years.
1t is needed now more than in the
past. 1t is impossible to state the
serious consequences of delay to
those who may subsequently need
the service of hospital close at
home. The undisputed fact is that a
public hospital has been the crying
need for SO many years and from a
huma nitarian standpoint no person
should utter a word in opposition or
view it lightly, but give it their seri.
Gus consideration.
Since my previous article in re.
gard to the hospital, published in
these columns, l have received letters
from former residents of this coun-
ty, now residing in other states, ex-
pressing their earnest desire that this
proposition will succeed and that the
people of Bates county should not
fail to realize the importance of it.
If former residents of Bates coun-
ty, now residing in other states, are
thus interested, how NAV those who
still reside here be less interested?
1t is indeed gratifying to know that
those who have long since left this
community, have been absent from
our association and activities for so
many years, still retain that filial re-
lation which all good citizens possess
for their former home and former as
sociates.
As a further impetus for us to
vote the hospital, please note that
Boone county has recently voted
bond issue of $175,ooo.oo for the pur-
nose OF building county hospital 1T
Columbia.
Some four or five other counties
have done the same. Let us be one
among the first to lead in this great
enterprise and humanitarian move
ment.
With charity for all, with malice
toward none, let us vote for the hos
pital.

At the Health Center.

The baby examination held at the
fHealth Center in the court house at
Butler was considered very interest
ing and quit success. A total OF 1872
babies being examined by various
practicing physicians of Bates coun-
ty, assisted by Miss Barnett, the
County Health Nurse.
Many defects of which the mothers
were unaware were found to exist
and which may, with proper care and
treatment be corrected, thus greatly
improving the health of the baby.
Owing to the very busy season, no
doubt many mothers were unable to
come to the Health Center during
baby week, so clinics will be held
every Saturday from 1000 to 1900 a.
m. and 200 to 400 p. m. for babies
and children of pre-school age, and
not only for those who were unable
to come during baby week, bot all
mothers are requested to bring the
baby back if not every week, then
every two weeks to weigh and con-
suit with Miss Barnett.
Mothers who have not visited the
Health Center are urged to do so as
early as possible. Advice and in
structiUn is free to every one who
will call at the Health Center, sick
and well, rich and Door, large and

Mrs. w. p. Hall.

Mrs. Wiley P. Hall died at her
home in this city Tuesday morning,
July 18th, 1920; aged 72 years,
month and 9 days.
Martha Elizabeth Jackson was born
in St. Clair county, Missouri, June
4th, I848, and spent her early life in
her native county. On October 12th,
1865, she was united in marriage with
Wiley P. Hall. To this union five
children were born, ]. E. Hall, who
was drowned at Jacksonville, July
5th, 1889; James w. Hall, County
Clerk of Bates county; Mrs. Minnie
Owen of Raymond, Washington, and
Mrs. Dora Glazebrook of Centralia,
Washington, these ladies are twin
sisters; Nellie Elkins, who died at
Ozark, NO., Dec. oath, 1900.
DR.. and Mrs. Hall came to Bates
county in 1874, locating at old Rich
Hill, in 1876 they moved to Elkhart
township, thence to Adrian in 1880,
where they have since made their
home.
Mrs. Hall was converted in 1869,
and united with the Methodist Prot
estant Church and died in that faith.

pal church here.
Mrs. Hall was among the first set
tiers of Adrian and her gentle influ-
ence was an active factor for good in
the early days of the town. There
was no noisy demonstration or at
tempt to attract public notice. But
by the sick bed by day or in the
silence of the night Aunt Martha
could be found ministering kindly and
efficiently to the suffering or, per-
chance, some one was in need, she
was ready to minister to them and
offer words of encouragement. Mrs.
Hall was truly a ministering angel in
her active years. In her home she
was all that wife and mother could
be. Kind, loving and helpful, devot-
ed to duty. Yet she was firm and
unyielding in her government, al
ways standing for the right and just
and insisting that her children meas
ure up to right principles. She was
an ideal citizen and will be missed in
the community.-Adrian Journal.
