hundred and ninety-five are enrolled
at the present time. 1t has been
found that instead of this course tax
ing the boys away from the farm, it
makes them so enthusiastic about
farming that they yearn to get back
and put some of the acquired knowl-
edge into practice. So. boys, if you
desire little broader knowledge of
agriculture and do not have the high
school training, go to Ames and take
the two year course in agriculture.
You will never regret it.

ready incorporate in any enterprise
that was an uplift to a community.

war he was active in suppressing up
risings and for a number of years
was a fearless sheriff of Oktibbeha
county.
Up until his death he was con-

with his old comrades in war, and he
loved to hear them recount remin-
iscences of the stirring days of the

PIONEER CITIZENS LIFE
SLOWLY EBBING AWAY

Slowly and by degrees, the life of
Mr.. John Crumpton, father of DR..
Crumpton, is ebbing away and prob
ably before this edition of the News
appears his troubles may be over,
and he will be at rest from the vi
cissitudes of busy world.
He resides in Winston county,
having emigrated to this state from
South Carolina many years ago, and
when this country was a perfect
wilderness, and when Indians and
ferocious animals were seen in their
rambles to and fro.
This good old man is in his 87th
year, and for some time past has
been in bad health. The first part of
the week his son, the doctor, who has
just returned from the bedside, says
it is only question of few days
until change takes place.

A HEALTH NURSE
GAN Be SECURED
FOR THIS COUNTY

Health is wealth. Wealth
without health is worthless. One
of the primary elements of eff
cheney is health. The greatest
heritage of any child is a heal
thy body and strong constitu-
tion. Health and happiness are
two things that every normal
person greatly desires.
One staggering fact that the op-
Grafton of the draft law brought be-
fore the American people when what
was supposed to be the flower of her
young manhood were examined to
determine whether or not they were
physically fit to bear arms in de-
Tense OF our country's honor and in
defense of its rights of humanity
was millions of them were found to
be physically unfit. This lamenta-
BILE condition brought us inevitably
to the conclusion that there was and
is something radically wrong. In
many, many instances medical auth
critics tell US that defects which
were slight in the beginning and
which could have been corrected in
their early stages, had become ire
mediable. Now that we have been
made to realize the tremendous i'm
portance of health and correct modes
OF living, people everywhere are
turning their attention to the con-
servation of human life.
| A national movement is on foot
to make America healthy nation.
The people of Oktibbeha county are
just as patriotic and just as much
concerned about the welfare of the
nation as the people Of any other
county. 1t we want part in the
Improvement and progress of the
nation, one of the best ways to be-
gin is with our own people. Some
one will say that we are just as
healthy as the people of any other
county. Granting that to be true,
mo one can deny that there are hun.
ldreds and probably thousands of
cases of illness annually among our
own people that are easily prevent
able. Think of the economic loss ev-
cry year from illness to say nothing
tof the weary hours of waiting and
anxiety, of the sorrow and sadness
caused by unnecessary deaths.
We need a COUNTY PUBLIC
HEALTH NURSE, and these are
some of the reasons why we need
such worker and brief outline Of
some OF the important things she
could do in our county.
There should be a physical in
spection of every school child in the
county at least once during each
session. This would determine what
children have minor defects such as
adenoids, diseased tonsils, eye trou-
BILE; what children are under nour-
ished due to improper foods, bad
teeth or other reasons.
She should give health lectures in
school on personal hygiene, ventila-
ton, sanitation and acquaint every
child with number of simple rules
of health.
In many instances she would be
of invaluable assistance by visiting
homes where there might be case
of protracted sickness such as ty-
phoid fever, and by cooperation
with the attending physician, pre-
vent any other member of the FAM
lily having it.
She could visit every community
and give courses in first aid, and
home care of the sick.
She could establish health centers
which would be a distributing agen-
cy of great deal of valuable health

it is young Chance. He got that tan
as a captain in the United States
Marines, and later added to it on
farm in Illinois.
Now he is sailing around Washing

and enjoying the job immensely. You

through Culver Military Academy, the
