mission house and the retailer are
robbers the railroads point out tina
they are justified in their excessive
rates (four times what the farmer
gets for his product because they
the railroads. do not steal as much
from the farmer as the wholesalers
and retailers steal from the consumer
Can anyone doubt that such condi-
tons as now exist, where the cost of
getting the products of the soil from
the place of production to the home
of the consumer is from 10 to 20
times what the farmer gets for pro-
ducing it, cannot last. The farmer
will tire of being the goat and the con-
sumer will tire of being robbed by
permitting half a dozen persons or
firms to get a living from what lie
consumes before it reaches his table,
and some day the producer and con-
will deal directly with each
other and both will be better off.
The present high railroad rates are
no more justified than are the profits
of the wholesalers and retailers on
the Texas cabbage quoted by the rail
road managers.
The cabbage is only one of several
items mentioned in the railroad man
ayers story. Spinach, for which the
received So per ton, paid s30.36
freight to Chicago. The railroads
failed to tell why it cost s4.06 per ten
more to haul spinach than cabbage
over the same route. The spinach re-
tailed in Chicago at Is cents a pound
Or $500 per ton.

ABOUT THE Pixies

WI tte|i -C'
We, citizens and taxpayers,
want to thank the four magistra-
ties Of Madison county for OpOs-
ing the motion to reconstruct the
Lexington pine as our roads are
in very critical condition through
out the county. For instance,
the Lancaster pike. Barnes Mill
pike, and Poosey pike, seem to be
the worst. The people on these
roads pay the same taxes as the
people on the Lexington pike.
Why not divide the money
around to the other pixies: Give
Lexington pike people the same
as the other people. They pay
no more tax than the rest Of us
All of these other pixies have
travel on them. as many trucks
and automobiles as the Lexington
pike 1t seems as if our County

vote to build the Lexington pike.

The Knox County Poultry and Pet
Stock association held its annual ban
quet at the Log Cabin restaurant
Tuesday evening after the meeting.
The secretary's report shows that
this is the first year in several that
the association was able to pay the
members their premiums. The cause
of this was the purchasing each year
of new equipment which now amounts
to $500 in coops, etc. The next show
will now be given with clean slate,
as there will be no equipment to buy
and no old debts except old premium
money due the members, which will
be paid up next year.
The show next winter will be given

Home Service Section

The Home Service Section contin-
ues to give service to the ex-soldiers
and sailors.
Although this is principally with the
disabled man who must have medical
care, his claims for compensation and
insurance adjusted, vocational train
ing, ETC., yet there are many ways in
which we are serving all.
The work has been increased by
having the Ohio State Sanatorium in
our midst where much, of the time
there has been from thirty-fve to for
ty patients under government care
At present there are twenty-three.
The Home Service secretary tries to
visit the institution once a week, when
the wants Of the patients are made
known and met. This often means
/ communication with Washington and
other offices, many, many times before
claim is settled.
We give this same service to the pa.
tients under government care in the
Mt. Vernon and Mercy hospitals.
Under the supervision of the Home
Service Section one recital was given
at the Ohio State Sanatorium, when
Mrs. L. N. Layfield and Miss Marie
Marks entertained the patients. On
Monday, Jan. 10th, the Presbyterian
choir gave their Christmas cantata to
large audience.
We are not waiting to finish the war
job before extending our service to
the civilian families in much the same
way as it was done for the soldiers
families. This work can prove a great
benefit to the community. If the or.
ganizations and people in general will
cooperate, and use the Red Cross as
a clearing house for all social work
done in the county.
The Home Service Secretary has
rendered service to two hundred and
eighty-three different families during
the year of 1920. In many cases this
has meant service to the same people
many times. We have had twenty-four
civilian families reported to us; in
vestigation has been made in each
ease and service given where NEEDED.

An art exhibition will be held in

evenings of Jan 1921, for the pur.
pose of raising funds for the purchase
Of pictures for the walls of the public
schools and particularly the high
school.
This exhibition is one of more than
ordinary interest. 1t consists Of car
bon photographs and engravings loan
ed by the Elson Art Publication Co.
The collection is large and contains
only the best productions of master
pieces of art in different countries and
periods. Nearly every gallery and
country in the world would have to be
visited to see the originals of the pic
lures that will be exhibited here.
The collection comprises 200 sub
jects, representing all the principal
schools of art and including many re-
productions of sculpture, architecture
and nature. There will be catalogue
on sale covering the whole exhibit.
The exhibition opens at 1880 p. m.
A fine musical and literary program
has been arranged for this event.
The teachers of the high school will
be present to explain the pictures
and answer questions. Refreshments
will be served under the supervision

Junior Red Cross

The Junior Red Cross has enrolled
to date all OF the schools of Mt. Yer.
non including the high school, and
twenty odd schools in the county
school district. The county schools
are still becoming auxiliaries Of the
Junior Red Cross, and we believe they
will continue to do so for some time
to come. We were little slower in
putting on the Junior campaign for
membership in the country schools
than in the Mt. Vernon schools and
that accounts for the fact that men,
berships are still coming in.
Last year the schools of Mt. Vernon
put on health campaign which in
cluded the Modern Health Crusades." !"
This campaign created much interest
and we believe assuredly gave an ad
ditional incentive to all for the i'm
provement of the health of our chill
dren. This same campaign may be
put on again the present school year
The country schools general,
| whether members or not of the Junio
Red Cross are putting on campaign
this school year on community sani
tation. This campaign entails sys
tematic study by the pupils under the
supervision of the teacher of the sani
tation of the school building ant
grounds, and then study of the meth
cd or methods of improvement.
Our treasurer is glad to report tina
we carried over as a balance from las
year the sum of $30O.11. The amour
collected to date this year is $402.6 6
which added to the balance from las
year totals $7O2.76.

The value of county health nurse
can only be partially estimated. You
will observe from the above report
that half of the children examined in
our schools were in need of medical at.
tention and the response of the par.
ents in the correction of the defects of
these children was most satisfactory
to Mrs. Beverley. These results of
her work are tangible, but there is no
way in which to estimate the result
Of child's being sent home from
school on account of contagious dis
ease; the good obtained from her ad
vice in her home visits; the informa-
tion given in her talks to pupils and
parents and from the pamphlets dis
tributed by her.
| Mrs. Beverley conducted a public
health exhibit at the county fair which
was productive Of most gratifying re
suits.
The executive committee of the Red
Cross voted to pay the expenses Of
preliminary examinations Of crippled
children and two children were SEN
to state hospitals for treatment. A
facial deformity is now being correct
ed by DR.. Shaffer in Columbus.
The absence of a public health
nurse in Knox county for the las
month has emphasized in many ways
the necessity Of her work.
Respectfully submitted,
| BERTHA H. HARPER,
Chairman Nursing Committee.
