Business Failure.

Union City is again in the throes
a business failure. This time it is
in deed more of calamity than ever.
The amount involved includes a larg-
er number of local creditors. OF
course we can readily understand
that the stringency of money mat
tiers is the immediate cause of the
trouble. Beyond that it is neither
advisable nor pertinent at the pres
ent time, if at all, to undertake an
analysis of the causes. Primarily it
concerns the undertakings of one of
the leading business institutions in
Union City and a number of business
men doing business in Union City for
many years with the confidence of
the public and especially of those
with whom they have been doing bus
mess. This confidence remains un-
questioned. 1t is matter solely of
conditions and credits.
This is one of the leading milling
enterprises in this part of the State
and affects hundreds of people-at-
taches, employees and families. The
loss entailed in closing and in the
settlement means great deal to this
community, and 1t takes men of dis
erection to meet such emergencies,
and on this occasion your calm judg-
ment and good sense is invoked. 1t
is useless to be disturbed, but the
better way is to proceed carefully
and quietly and, if possible, with the
end in view of having an early return
of the operations and activities of
these business and Industrial plants.
We trust that the settlements will
be allowed to proceed so that the
greatest returns may be had from the
effects of the company involved.

PROPER CARE FOR CHICKS
MATCHED IN INCUBATURS

Chickens Matched in incubators
are apt to have bowel trouble be-
cause they are more subject to cold
air-for we just will open the door
of the machine to show how the
hatch is coming on or to show the
baby how many chicks there are out
of the shells-then when we take
them to the brooder we are not care
full to protect them from the cold
air." says Mrs. Kate M. Wells, poul-
try specialist, Division of Extension
Remember that the temperature of
the incubator is 100 degrees and even
the room temperature is too chilly
for the chicks at this early stage of
their existence. They should be left
in the incubator and its brood cham
Der for at least 4S hours after the
last one matches. Then if carefully
removed to a warm brooder and fed
correctly the first ten weeks there
will be little loss from bowel trou-
ble."
Toe picking is especially bad
among incubator Matched chicks and
is sometimes due to overcrowding in
the brooder but more often to NAL
nutrition. Their food lacks some ell
ement that their body needs; it may
be green food or animal protein. The
use of sour milk from the first feed :
ing will generally prevent this trou-
BILE. They need the vitamins in the
milk for their proper growth and
should be/given as much of this food
as possible.
Green food must be furnished.
Brooder chicks enjoy pulling to
pieces sods of grasses or dandelions.
If other animal protein food is
scarce give brooder chicks fresh pork
liver fed raw. Cut it into small
pieces and give them all they will
eat
1t is one job to obtain a good hatch
and another task to save the baby
chicks after they have been taken
from the incubator. Only proper
brooding plus good feeding will start
the baby chicks on the road to ma
turity.

Our Women.

No matter how much men may feel
that they are the lords of creation,
the truth of the fact must force itself
upon every mind that upon the puri-
ty and chastity of women rests the
foundation of civilization.
God has wisely ordained that some
of us may live half century or more.
1t is a misfortune if in that time we
lose the spirit of altruism or conf
dence in human nature. Some of
us may become cynics long before
that age. The man who cannot en-
joy the love of home, children, sun
shine and flowers of spring is hope
less indeed. He that finds no inspira-
ton born of hope in the human race
must be out of harmony and sympa-
thy with the great human heart.
The day of powdered wigs and
crinoline and the graceful minuet
may have been adorable; there must
have been a contrast between this
and the time of the Grecian bend and
the Dolly Warden. They were only
few years apart. But that day and
time had its faults and it's foibles.
The social standards were very high,
but there was many duel over some
clandestine affair.
There are no duels to-day. Our
women are not shielded by cavaliers
and courtiers. They are in the high
councils of business. and politics.
They may be little more indiffer-
ent in their attitude towards men,
but they have little more wisdom
and courage. They may indulge in
the jazz and the shimmie. They may
have very little between them and
the wise old owl. They may carry
the bathing suit in puff box. But
we cannot believe the women of to-
day are, comparatively speaking, any
less concerned about their moral
standards or any less discriminating
in their ideals of human happiness. z
Times have changed, but are they
any more corrupt. Our women may
see to-day the same spectacle that
fifty years ago was screened for men
only They may view the Harem and
Oriental dances. or in some in
stances we may have the Oriental
dances in our own ball rooms. This
is not a defense of these dances and
customs, but it is defense of wom-
anhood of the twentieth century.
The dance leads where the absence
of the dance may not lead, but we
challenge anyone to show proof that
our women of to-day are not as pure
as they were fifty or one hundred
years ago.
The sun shines as bright, the ba-
bies are as pretty, the fishing is just
as fine without the bait" and our
women are as pure and good as they
ever were.

Community Nurse.

An effort will be made this week
to complete the fund necessary to
employ community nurse to locate
in Union City. The duties of the
nurse and the services she may rem
der to the people of this community
have been presented to the public
thru the means of papers and public
meetings. Perhaps there are some
who have not yet understood the
matter.
1t is proposed to establish public
health nursing service in Union
City and Immediate community and
to employ competent graduate
nurse to locate with headquarters in
Union City. Her duties will be to
answer private calls and give instruc-
tions in the care of patients and the
proper. sanitary precautions. She is
to visit the schools and inspect the
condition of the children and the
sanitation of the surroundings. In
FAINT welfare will be another very i'm
portant feature. Young mothers need
advice and assistance along this line.
The care and prevention OF tubercu-
losis. This is thing badly needed.
Many a case could be checked in its
incipiency if the proper measures
were taken, and competent nurse
would be of incalculable benefit in
this work. A community nurse will
be expected to make free visits to
poor families and to give them the
same attention as others receive.
A community nurse is to give in
structions in home nursing and the
work of the united charities. In fine
a nurse will be one of the greatest as
sets we could hope to have in welfare
work.
Health fret and all the rest will
be added unto you. The Parent
