ATHLETIC FIELD
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
.ber of Commerce May Purchase
r.ot of Land Conveniently LO-
Gated for Use of School

A. the meeting of the chamber OF
.merce Tuesday the question of
occurring an athletic field for the high
...oo, came up for final disposition,
lac Emert, chairman of the special
,nmmittee appointed to investigate
no matter, reported that a plot of
u.ound west of the O.-W. r. & n.
s.not formerly used as a lumber
nord nv the Standard Lumber Co.,
could be purchased for $500. The
tract is 125x405 feet, is comparative
IL ,avel and is located close to the
high school.
After a short discussion motion
nv G. W. Watt was carried, authoriz-
ing the committee to secure an OPP
tion ON the land provided competent
iudges pronounce it large enough
and suitable for an athletic field,
with the understanding that, If pur-
chased, it be presented to the school
district.
]. C. Parr, who owns the land, said
that $500 is SIS less than he paid
for the property including the sheds
located on it. He estimates the lum-
Der in the sheds to be worth about
s75 after he tears them down.
Yesterday afternoon the commit
tee looked over the ground with j.
F. Boiler, A. A. Eustis and Princi-
pal Gaiser of the high school. They
pronounced it we'll adapted for the
purpose and there is little doubt that
this long felt want of field where
the high school teams can practice
and the boys can engage in athletic
sports, will soon be filled. 1t is
thought that much of the work nee
essary to level the field and put it in
first class condition will be donated
by the high school boys. With a
pOw, couple OF scrapers and team
Of horses what grading is necessary
can be done in three or four after
moons.

THE HEAD NURSE SAYS:
Pain n Warming.

The grin and bear it" attitude is
all very well to apply to those con-
slant complainers who magnify all
their ills. but when one has def
mite pain frequently recurring it is
wise to go to your doctor and tell
him about ii. He will decide wheth-
er you are to forget it, or to re-
move the case. Pain is a warning
that some abnormal condition ex-
lists. Sometimes the patient may
know what is the reason for 1t and
by conscientious attention dispel it.
Too frequently for the sake Of
economy, or from feelings of mod
esty. or even becanse of an un-
Willingness to acknowledge illness
either to the world or to ones self,
the mistake is made of postponinS
the visit to the physician. The pa
tient bears the discomfort and suf-
fering, hoping the trouble will cure
itself. Many a durable disease has
been allowed to run on in this way
until some vital spot is involved
and the trouble too far advanced
for medical skill to overcome.
Pain Is one of the most trust
worthy warnings that attention to
the mechanism itself is needed or
at least to our operation OF 1t. For
the sake of our friends we have no
right to neglect ourselves. Some
times it is an act of heroism to en-
dure suffering but usually 1t is as
foolish as it would be to try TO run
an engine without fuel.
