TO. THE MASSIE
HOSPITAL FUND.

When the campaign was inau-
Surated in this county for the many
war activities that were necessary
by the war, people remarked: well,
it is a certain thing that old Bour-
bon county will go to the front
when it comes to contributing to
relief work." And Bourbon did.
The same has been true of every
movement having for it's object the
relief of suffering. The Red Cross,
the Salvation Army, the Armenian
Relief, the War Savings, the Thrift
campaign, the Health and Welfare
League. numerous others, all Jared
very substantially at the hands of
the people Of Paris and the county.

our people to say, 1--WE will go over

February Weather.

January went into the discard with
10 below zero score after month of
extremely cold weather, but February
has been a saver for the fuel pile.
The mercury has not reached zero
once during the month, and it's near
ly half over now. The first week of
February brought a number of warm
days that settled the snow and gave
the first break in the cold spell that
hung on most all winter. With the
few warm days and but very little
more snow it begins TO look as though
spring was not so far distant in the
ofing. The soft spell speeded up
logging operations in all camps The
cuts this year have been large and
there still remains much hauling to
be done to get the timber on the
ways before che sleighing breaks up.
Some nearby camps have been work
ing overtime and Sundays to get
their cuts to the landing.

he treated to dinner upon arriving

later opened his grip and found sew

Investigation showed that they were

fers to his home as Chill Crest, = or
soak Grove" He is going to take
more pride in the appearance of his
farm and it's products. 1t will hence
forth represent his own personality
He will leave it only very reluctantly
for an unnamed place in town. Such
is the concensus Of opinion of a num-
Der of different members of the facul-
ty of the Kansas State Agricultural
College.
| In town the houses are numbered.
In the country the home may be
known far and wide by some signif-
can't name it the farmer but wakens
to his opportunity. 1t will be a guide
to the traveller, and may go down in
history even as the name of Mount
! Vernon has done.
The farm may be. named from some
outstanding characteristic, as knoll,
glen, a grove of trees, or to desig-
ate some product of the farm. Or if
no outstanding feature presents itself
it may be given name of musical
sound, as an old Indian name.
| But the farmer should take no risk
of having his farm designated by the
public in any such manner as the "old
Jones place.
Having once chosen q name, the
farmer should announce it to the
world. He may have it on his letter
heads and envelopes, but he should
also have sign as the business man
of the city has.
This sign may be in the form of a
gateway, built of stone and arched
over the entrance with lettering of
stone. Or where farms are electrical
| ly lighted it may be built in such a
way that it may be Illuminated at
night. But if either of these plans is
too elaborate the sign may be painted
in bold outstanding letters upon the
barn or sign board.
The advertising value Of the farm
name can scarcely be estimated. The
! products will sell much more quickly,
since the name will help to advertise
their qualities.

Inter Sc members may we'll feel
proud of the success attained by their
masquerade ball held at the opera
house Friday evening. Attendance
and receipts exceeded all expectations
and judging from the expressions of
approval everyone who attended had

grand march showed an array of
maskers that included practically
every costume one could think Of.
There were character and comic
make-ups galore and plenty of every
other kind of costumes. First prize
went to Miss Helen Strong as the old
fashioned girl, and the comic prize
was won by the Misses Leona Rand
and Rosalie Scheribel,l representing
Mutt and Jeff.
Strnad's orchestra of Amigo played
in their usual fine form, giving a

ENORMOUS WEALTH
IN NOR. WISCONSIN
Between Eight and Ten NIL
lion Acres of Good Land
Still Available for
Settlement.

Prof. G. p Norgord, head of the
state department of agriculture,
speaking at a farmers course in
Grant county recently called atten-
tion to the enormous resources of
Northern Wisconsin.
There are, he declared, between
eight and ten million acres of good
land still available for settlement.
Wisconsin lies at the doorway of
the best markets of the world Chi
cago, the fourth largest city in the
world; Milwaukee, one of the great
manufacturing cities of the United
States-both at the southeast corner.
Superior and Duluth, located at the
fartheSt west extension of Lake
Superior, with st. Paul and Mime
apolis, the greatest flour center in the
world on the west, and many cities of
from 10000 to 10000 in population
within territory surrounding it on all
sides. This territory is an extension
of the great western plains and prair-
les which extend from the Rocky
mountains on the west to the Great
Lakes on the east. This will be Wis
consin's prairie when the stumps and
trees are taken of. Between this
prairie of ours and the Dakota prair-
les is the presence of stumps and
trees. We have had sufficient mois-
ture applied to our fertile soil to pro-
duce the great pine, hard wood and
hemlock forests for which Wisconsin
has been formerly noted. The proof
that in the past we have had enough
moisture, and guarantee chat in the
future we will have enough moisture.
which applies to our fertile soil, will
produce not only great forests, but
beautiful fields of waving grain, fine
pastures with beautiful herds, great
red barns, and happy homes.
We complain of the cost of clearing
which may run from $50 to 800 an
acre, but the cost of clearing an acre
of land is not as great as the differ
ence in the freight on a car load of
grain shipped from Bozeman, Mont,
to St. Paul or Chicago as compared
with the same car load from Spooner,
Wis, or any point in central Wiscep
sin to the same markets. The per-
centage of good land is not much diff
ferent in the northern end of the
cfofo fhop i'm fhn coI1tbnrTl np6. Onifh.
er is there much difference in this re-
spect between upper Wisconsin and
Minnesota and North and South Da-
kota. People have gone by this beau
tilul area attracted by the great
plains of the West. They have found
out that lack of moisture is far
greater handicap than the presence of
stumps and trees.

WISCONSIN LEADS IN
TRAINING OF NURSES
Appeal to State to Help Fill
the Demand for Public
Health Nurses Sup
ply Falls Short.

That Wisconsin is but one of the
many states in the union with a
shortage of public health nurses is i'll
Dictated by the constant appeals re-
ceived by the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association from all over the
country for this type of worker.
I'VE have places open for forty pub
lie health nurses with good salaries
offered and no nurses to ill these
places, writes Miss Lillian b. Stuff,
R. N, director of field activities with
the Nebraska tuberculosis Associa-
tion, ''and hope if you have any sur
plus from your training classes you
will refer them to us out here in this
enormous state where the workers
are so few"
Wisconsin is unable to meet it's own
demands for public health nurses,
number of counties that have voted
appropriations for nurses and a long
list of communities wanting school
or community nurses still being un-
ISQRR14OOs OUllC1 SUdUCO dlC Ql3O OCIOr
ing nurses here to be trained for pub
lie health work, the Wisconsin asso-
citation being the only one in the
country which conducts "a training
class for public health workers. The
Wisconsin Draining course is unique
in the fact that it makes a speciality
of training workers for rural and
small town communities whereas
other training schools concern them
selves principally with the problems
ofithe larger cities.
In the new class which began it's
four months training course with
the Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis As
ISOLATION last week, are five nurses
from Minnesota. All members of the
class are assured positions upon COM
plotting their course, and it is proba-
BILE that they will repeat the expert
ence of the previous class, in which
every member had signed contracts
before graduation.
