TENNESSEE TOWNS SCRAP
OVER CENSUS FIGURES

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. March 10
Uncle Sans census figures are the
direct cause of many arguments and
fights here today. For forty years
the keenest rivalry has existed be-
tween Chattanooga and Knoxville as
to their relative greatness. The fued
was continually famed by the news
papers.
Knoxville had a slight lead in popu-
lation prior to 1910. but Chattanooga
took the lead that year and has mer-
cilessly gloated over its rival. The
official announcement of Friday gave
Chattanooga 57.S95 inhabitants; Knox
yille's figures were announced as H.
slS. All Knoxville Is happy, but
Chattanoogans charge the increase
Ia due to the annexation of a lot Of
suburbs and their talk has caused the
rows.

ORGANIZE HOSPITAL AID.
TO PROMOTE WORK HERE

There seems to be a general under
standing or misunderstanding on the
part of the public that our hospital
is a private institution conducted by
Miss Joan Armand, for her own pro-
fit. That the public may be informed
the following statements are made:
The Delta hospital is a community
institution dependent altogether on
patronage and voluntary donations.
The average salary of the nurses en-
ployed is SIS per month, and because
of the shortage of funds these ladies
are compelled to remain on duty II
hours a day. The hospital has been
conducted for six months and the aver
age surplus per month has been s65.
which is not enough to meet unex-
pected emergencies which might arise
While it is true that several thous-
and dollars have been donated TO the
association for new hospital, by
the terms of their agreement, not one
cent of this money can be used for
maintenance, but must be used ex-
clusively for building and equipment
and this will not be until perhaps
year from this time.
A rumor has gained some footing
that physicians and surgeons receive
a "rake-off' for taking patients to
the Delta hospital, and this report is
also branded as absolutely false. The
management assures US that there is
not one cent of gain for any indivi-
dual. as any surplus will go into the
general fund.
A hospital aid was organized this
week and committees appointed as
follows: linen; mending; provision;
equipment and finance.
Officers and directors elected were:
Mrs. j. E. Hillman. President; Mrs.
John F. Boyden, Vice-president; Mrs.
Earnest Engelhardt, Secretary; Mrs
W. f. Mackie, Mrs. r. c. Egnew, Mrs.
VIM. w. Dingman, Mrs. Roy Gregg,
Mrs. E. Engelhardt, Mrs. Herbert
Chase. Mrs. C. E. Blaine and Miss
Armand. board OF directors.
Donations of apples, potatoes or
other provisions or supplies will be
gratefully received.

HOW DOES THIS
B APPEAL TO YOUf

Health conditions in the schools
throughout the county warrant the
employment of a good school nurse
with a definite program carefully
mapped out for a school health cam
paign. This nurse should be gradu-
ate nurse of experience and with at
least six months training in social
service work
Her program would be somewhat on
this order:
l. To give the required physical
tests in the schools, compile the sum
maries and give the findings TO the
public.
II. Put on demonstrations OF pro
per food for children. giving especial
attention to school lunches.
III. Hold regular conferences with
groups of mothers throughout the
county, as to prevailing sanitary and
health conditions of children.
". To emphasize by contests and
programs or pageants the prevention
of diseases.
V. To aid in at least one Baby
Clinic in the county.
If this plan appeals TO you, please
give your heartiest moral and finan-
cial support to the Christmas Seal
sale. which will begin in Delta on
Saturday December 10. We are plan
ming on a sale of seals to the amount
of $500 for Delta County; 60 per
cent OF which amount will remain in
the county for our employment OF a
nurse. This would give us one Tor
a good six months trial. Will You
aid? Boost for the sale, Buy seals!
