BOOST FOR THE
MADISON HOSPITAL
1T WILL INCLUDE AN ACCREDIr-
ED SCHOOL FOR THE TRAIN.
ING OF NURSES

One of the most important things
is the accredited school for the train
ing of nurses.
In this way it is hoped to be able
to greatly augment the limited sup
ply of trained nurses which have been
so sorely needed in the past two or
three years.
The training school will be in
charge of a thoroughly trained and
experienced hospital superintendent,
and regular instruction will be given
by the various physicians on the hos
pital staff.
With the surrounding and environ
ment of the State Normal school
there will be healthy educational
atmosphere which cannot help MAX
ing this training school one of the
leading schools in this section of the
country. Several have applied al
ready for entrance into one of the
three classes, first, second or third
year work, depending upon the
amount of time previously spent in an
accredited institution. The splendid
services of the nurses in our present
training school will be continued in
the new hospital, thereby forming a
nucleus which will greatly simplify
the work of organization after NOV
ing.
1t is the aim of the MANAGEMENT to
make the training school a very at
tractive feature of the hospital and
thus secure a high class of student
nurses.
The course of study will be foc
three years and entities graduates to
qualify under the laws Of the state
for the degree of registered nurse.
Boost for the new hospital next
Tuesday.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
NATIONAL CONVENTION
LEADERS, ARE DISCUSSING PRO-
VISIONS OF THE PLATFORM

New York, May 1.-THE chair
manshfp of the resolutions commit
tee at the republican national con-
vention grows in Importance as it be-
comes increasingly apparent that the
League of Nations will be one of the
big issues in the presidential election
Senator Hiram Johnson, the foremost
figure in the progressive wing, nat
urally wants the party to go on rec
ord as completely opposed to league
pact. All of his prominent rivals have
declared in favor of the league with
reservations. Many republican lead
ers, ii is understood, are determined
that the International section of the
party platform shall contain a plank
endorsing the pact with Lodge resel-
vations. To insure the least possible
opposition to this from bitter enders,
these leaders are said to be ready to
recede from their present attitude re-
garding the Craftsmanship of the con-
vention will permit Johnson and his
followers to pick man for this posi-
ton. In return they will ask Johnson
to offer no opposition to their choice
for resolutions committee.

SOUTH DAKOTA
WHEAT IMPROVES
REPORT SHOWS CROP BETTER
THAN EARLY ESTIMATE

Sioux Falls, May 14.-The wheat
crop of South Dakota has shown an
improvement in comparison with the
earlier report, which placed the acre
age at 100000 bushels less than on
May l last year, according to H. O..
Herbrandson, agricultural field agent
for South Dakota.
The report states that the cool ten
perature of the month of April, to-
gether with the precipitation avail
able, did much to revive the condi-
tion of the rye crop in South Dakota,
and many fields that were thought
unfit to leave for harvest have now
proven they will probably produce a
crop. The report continues:
ION the 1st of May it was estimat-
ed that 53 per cent Of the spring
plowing had been completed in South
Dakota as compared with SO per cent
in 1919. In South Dakota SIS per
cent of the spring sowing and plant
ing was completed on May l, as COM
pared with SIS per cent one year ago.
Pastures in South Dakota were
found to be in condition of Is per
cent as compared with SO per cent
last year."

SUFFERING, NOT
BULLETS, WORRY
BLACK HILLS SOLDIER TELLS OF
DISTRESSING STATE OF RUS
SIAN PEOPLE

Lead, May 14.-According to a let
ter received from Tommy" Aver, a
Black Hills young man, who served
for an extended period with the
American army in Siberia, it was not
the danger of Bolsheviki bullets that
worried them most while they were
in Siberia, but the suffering of the
Russian people in their vicinity, many
of whom were without the necessaries
of life and compelled to live under
very distressing conditions.
His description of the conditions
in Siberia when his regiment reached
there shows that the people suffered
greatly from the lack of food ami
comfortable, warm clothing
Scores of women and children
crowded around the American bar
racks at meal time, and it was i'm
and many child was quietly slipped
a square meal, provided with clothing
and given other comforts.
The letter states that the fighting
against the Bolsheviki and the other
hard and dangerous duties the boys
were called upon to do, could be done
cheerfully, and none gave it much
thought, but the hardest thing for
them to bear was to remain mute
and helpless spectators of the misery
and the suffering of the women and
children about their stations.
They could not, and would not,
stand for it, and the result was that
the American doughboys were always
in debt, short of some articles Of
clothing or "shy" on rations because
of their determination to assist the
suffering people as much as possible
from their own scanty means.
The letter states that all the
American boys were overjoyed when
ordered out of Siberia, but took with
them to Manila and the land of plenty
in the Philippines memories of the
sufferings of the helpless in cold ST.
IBERIA which will linger with them al
ways.

SCHOOL PAGEANT
ATTRACTS CROWD
INTERESTING EXERCISES EXHIH
1T VALUE OF HEALTH TRAIN
ING-PRETTY COSTUMES I
FOR THIS OCCASION

1t was planned that a thousand
school children would take part to-
day in the modern health crusaders
pageant that was given during the
earlier afternoon hours at the nor
NAL school campus! Bad roads pre-
vented full attendance by pupils but
still half the number expected were
present for the program that was
presented in the open air. The green
sward below, the strings of bunting
and the bright colored flags strung
around the stage, together with the
spotless costumes worn by the chill
dren all gaily set off that part of the
campus where the exercises were
held. Before noon people from the
country began arriving in the city
and at dinner time several hundred
children and their parents ate lunch
on the court house lawn Following
this county superintendent, Miss June
Emry, gave the children a theater
party at the Lyric.
The exercises did not get started
quite at the appointed time but held
the interest of all present when once
begun
Pupils from the Madison schools
| and from other schools in the county
had part in the program which con-
sisted of health drills, community
songs, marches and music by the city
! band. First the banners bearing the
thealth hints were presented The
| Washington school exhibited health
pageant. Then came an action exer-
else entitled, Guests of the House
| hold" this by students of the Madi-
son Normal. Next came the pageant
| by pupils from the Junius school.
| The Lincoln school presented a health
| drill and folk dance. An exercise de-
| picting the value of thrift was given
| by pupils from the Garfield school.
Grades and of this presented a
very pretty flag drill. Following
we'll known songs, both patriotic and
otherwise, the program concluded
with a grand march and the award
ing of pins to thoSe who had COM
pleted fifteen weeks of required
| study in health subjects.
The pageant, which was the result
| of cooperative effort on the part of
| Miss Wilkin, school nurse and the
teachers of the county, is intended
to teach the value of health measures
and their relation to a better and
| stronger race.
The schools of the city were closed
this afternoon, so also were the
places of business. Work was sus-
pended at the training school Many
of our citizens turned out to witness
the pageant which was a pronounced
| success. Those in charge of the train
ing are to be congratulated for their
effort on behalf of good health

RAILWAY To RUN
TRUCK TRANSFER
PENDING REPAIR NORTHWEST.
ERN TRACK BETWEEN BLUNT
AND PIERRE USE MOTORS

Pierre, May 14.-Further wash
outs on the Chicago & Northwestern
railway line west of Pierre make
traffic westward impossible, and il
is believed ii will be at least a week
before the track is in copdition for
the movement of /, trains west of
Pierre. ,
1t is regarded as certain that it
will take even longer to get the line
east of Pierre rebuilt so trains can
again be run, and pending the repair
of the washed out track the railway
company will establish truck trans
fer line between Pierre and Blunt
as soon as it is possible to utilize the
highways
In the flooded district between
Blunt and Pierre il is estimated that
Is miles of track was carried away
by the deluge of water.
At the Channel Change bridge, a
short distance west of Blunt, 400
feet of roadbed was taken out. the
water cutting to a depth of IL feet
below the surface of the dump.
Between Huron and Blunt there
are a number of washouts, aggregat-
ing fully a mile in length. A pile.
driver and piling will be necessary to
repair the damage done in that dis
trict.

SISTERS LIVED IN
DUG OUT 80 YEARS
NORTH DAKOTA WOMEN TAKEN
TO THE STATE HOSPITAL
FOR THE INSANE

Dickinson, N. d., May IA story
of humanity's reverting to the bar
barous stage was revealed here when
two aged sisters were taken from a
loathsome dugout near here, to the
state hospital for the insane at
jamestown. The conduct of Rather
inc and Rebecca McCullom. home
steaders, here thirty-five years ago,
long convinced neighbors they were
mentally deranged.
Their popularity" dates back TO
about thirty years ago, when the sis
ters returned from their former home
at Pomeroy, Ia, to close up a real
estate deal They told of being pre-
sented with and eating queer tast-
ing apples" which made them very
sick. 1t is believed some shark took
this method of defrauding them in
the transaction.
The McCullom sisters were born in
Scotland and came here from Iowa
to file on claims. They now own 800
acres, a herd of cattle, and carried
with them in an old can $3.50 in cur
rency and s10Ofin gold.
Their dugout contained a pile OF
rags on which they slept, kitchen
stove, few cooking utensils, Zero
sene lantern, and Bible. They wore
mems ragged clothing and never
bathed. One sister made a semi-an-
nual trip to Dickinson for provisions;
the other had not left the farm foI
twenty years.

Sioux City. May 14.-Numerous

proportions. Altogether only 4,5O0
porkers were received, which is a
falling off compared to the 9.244 and
the 9,719 marketed like days last

among buyers developed and no

BONUS PROSPECTS
DARK IN SENATE
HOUSE, HOWEVER, Is EXPECTED
TO PASS MEASURE, ACCORD
ING TO FORDNEY

Washington, ID. c., May IA
Whatever its fate at the hands of the
Senate may be-and the prospects OF
stormy session there are conceded
the soldier bonus bill bids fair to
have not too trying passage through
the House. Chairman Fordney said
today that the ways and means COM
mittee hoped to have the bill out of
the committee by the end of this
week and that it likely would be
brought into the house forthwith un-
der a rule.
But the outlook for, the bonus bill
after it reaches the Senate is now
dark. as it is taken for granted that
the revenue features will be subject
ed to gruelling cross-fire, and that
several of the most toughened fill
busters in the upper chamber will be
clamoring for chance to whack the
bonus proposition altogether.
