NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Woit
Furnishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurse.
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and It's department
of nursing is daily increasing this en-.
rollment.
The department OF nursing has been
authorized to maintain an ADEQUATE
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which IL has as.
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t Will assist In establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or.
ganized hospitals, dlspensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses In home
hygiene and care Of the sick have been
started for thousands OF women who
have neve received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy a short while ago
has been put ahead at least a decade
through the work Of the department
Of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex.
tended to many rural communities and
now lourishes actively In hundreds Of
small towns and counties. Nearly q
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned TO this kind Of work.
The department Of nursing is unit.
Ing with other organizations In d years
campaign in recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen.
eral public as to standards OF nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools of

these needs as well as TO continue the

utilized as instructors In home dletet.

and In supplying dietitIans for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer TO women and young girls the
opportunity Of securing instruction in
home hygiene and care Of the sick in
every community IN the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun-
dalton for public health but in some
places has given impetus to the eetah-

Happenings at Thompson
The Capital OF the World

HNAoI
week. People r buying carefully
but with the assurance that our
prices are as low as the lowest. We
are making no big reductions in prices
with scary head lines, because we
have not been ~prOfteering, but, on the
contrary, selling at a small margin
of profit and lowering our prices Just
as fast as the market will justify.
The result is our stock is in fine
shape and we are not loaded with a
lot of high priced goods that we must
cut the price in two to sell.
Fl. P. Rudasil was in last Monday
delivering 81 head of nice fat hogs he
had contracted to us at II cents. We
have been buying Hugh's hogs ahead
for the past three years and this is
the first time he has beat US. But hN
landed on us good this time. Hugh
raises only high bred hogs and is an
excellent feeder and makes them mar
ket toppcrs every time.
We have one corn binder left all
set up ready to go. We must sell
it this week as we don't want to carry
it over. If you need a corr binder
G us at once and save money.
Elmer Gatewood and his mother,
who reside near the Monroe Co., line,
were in to see us Saturday. They
come to see US often and are mong
u most valued customers. Elmer is
a mighty fine man and has one of the
best mothers in the world who is very
proud of him and she has a right to
be. The world is better for his having
lived in it and we wish him a long
happy life. Would that there were
more men of his type,
The weather remains beautiful and
extremely warm for the time of year,
but it will turn cold some of these
days and you will need a stove.
DON'T FORGET US.
J M. Jones and his good wife were
in several times the past week. They
brought in four ears of very fine yell
low corn which we believe is the best
we have seen this year. These good
people have been among our best and
steady patrons since we started in
business and We appreciate their pat
ronage very much. John Mac is a
hale fellow well met, always in good
humor. Honest as t. " make them
and a true friend if he likes you. The
better you know him the more you
will like him.
Many Of you have so far failed to
take advantage of the very low price
we are making on corn. We are sell
ing an extra standard grade of corr
at $500 per case of two dozen cans.
You can't duplicate the price any
where. We made an exceptionally
good buy and are giving our custom
ers the benefit. GET YOURS.
Clarence Baker and wife were in
Saturday marketing produce and
shopping. This is one Of the finest
young couples we know and are
starting on life's journey with ex-
~ceptionally bright prospects. Mrs.
Baker was Miss Emma Groves daugh-
ter Of Judge s. G Groves and her
marriage to Clarence joined two of
the best families in the county. No
better people even lived than the
Bakers and the Groves. Clarence is a
hustler and a fine business man and
we predict for him a bright future.
When the weather gets cold come
in and Doll Up" in one of our heavy
coats. They will keep you warm and
perhaps save a doctor bill.

He passed through a mighty good
town to get to US but stated that he
was well repaid for his trip and would
return to see us again In the near
future. We did not learn his first
name but sure appreciate his coming
to see US and the nice things he said
about US. We have done lots of bus
mess with his father, who is a very
successful farmer and owns one of
the best farms in Galloway county
with a beautiful modern country
home.
We have a full line of gloves and

Our neighbor w. G. Robinson and

Robinson has not visited us often but
has done a good part in sending W. G.

ular and steady customers. He bought

DAWNIE
BY MARY RELIANT.

va ls1V. by Mcclure newspaper syndlcate.D
Young Jim Standing opened his eyes,
yawned and stretched his long, healthy
body leisurely. He turned Oyer on the
other side, his sleepy eyes falling on
the clock.
Good night" he gasped in disInay.
Fully awake now he. jumped out Of
bed, and pulled back the blinds. He
groaned aloud as the room vas food
ed with the mild sunshine of an early
spring forenoon.
Young Jim's thoughts were bitter as
he hastily splashed in the cold tub.
As he dressed his thoughts grew more
bitter.
"a fine excuse I have to-Offer
Dawnie for not turning up. Poor kid,
how disappointed she must have been!
After all her planning, too. She may
break off for this" The last thought
proved too much for poor Jlm's peace
of mind, and gulping his black coffee
without tasting it he dashed off to-
wards Dawn's home.

excuse less humiliating than the
truth.
Young Jim was engaged TO little
Dawn Crlcklin, Il lovely blonde young
person to whom life was n sweet
romance. She was o a giddy, young
butterfly for she could cook and sew
and keep house very nicely. Her old
fashioned mother had secn to that.
Dawn's small head under the crinkly,
baby-gnld curls held a clever little
brain. But Dawnie had to have ro-
nance. When life offered none she
would create it. She had known and
loved Jim always, as she would naively
tell you. But she would have pre-
ferrcd her parents 10 disapproye Of the
clever young architect, for then their
courtship would have had many thrills.
1t would have been so jolly to have
had to meet Jim on the sly! But alas!
Jim was as welcome in the Cricklin
home as Dawn herself.
SO Dawn made up all manner of
stunts for jim to 90 through with. Jim

WANTS CITIZEN
SCHOOL BOARD
DR.. Simon S Plans for Advis-
ory Body to Go Before
Special Meeting.

Organization Of an unofficial
auxiliary school board to be com
pAed Of citizens Of the District in
terested in the public schools will be
proposed to the Board of Education
at a special meeting next Wednes
day called by DR.. Abram Simon,
president Of the board.
Dr.. Simon has talked to many per-
sons since the plan first suggested
itself and has received virtually
unanimous approval. The proposal
is still in a nebulOus state and has
not received as vet the serious con-
sideratiOn Of the Board of Educa-
tiOn.
DR.. Simon is tremendously inter
ested in the plan which he hopes,
when worked out. will enable the
School Board to go before Congress
with a program backed by the or
ganized Judgment Of Washington
citizens
The proposed citizens council, or
auxiliary school board, would act
merely in an advisory capacity. but
the information it would be able to
give the board would be of tre-
mendOus value. under Or. Simon's
plan.
Members of the council, under the
present immature plan. would be
composed of chairmen Of school COM
r1ittees of civic associations or
others especially interested in school
affairs.
