WANTED: COUNTRY DOCTORS

Washington. March e7.-Smali towns
and rural districts in all parts OF tho
country arc worried over shortage
which the city dweller can scarcely
comprehend. This is tho shortage OF
doctors.
In the cities and large Industrial
towns about every square has doc

And IL you still doubted that doctors
constitute a fair quota OF the popu-
lation a glance at a classified city di-
rcctory would show you exactly how
many columns of doctors stand ready
TO tide you over any attack OF germs.
But go out in the country. or even
to n remote town, and YOU might
have TO send e5 miles or more for
a doctor in case OF an emergency. And
there would be no ambulance TO take
you to n hospital on short notice.

John Burroughs

Bv the death of John Burroughs the people OF the
United States and the world of literature lose of
those big and free spirits which have seemed to be
characteristic of the pioneer years of this magnificent
continent ''Whcrcvcr John Burroughs s'' one of his
admirers has said since his DEATH 'herc will be birds
and big trecs.''
It was as lover of the Wild free living things gut
of DOORS the BIRDS the trees the animals the wind and
the sunshine and all the embodimcnts and activities of
nature that John Burroughs found satisfaction for the
spirit that was in him, and it the interpreter OF
the things that he and heard that he the af-
fccon of nature lovers thruou America and wherever
he known.
As outdoor man, living next to nature, it is not
surprising that John Burroughs had little in common
with the city dwellcr and the indoor student. The real
naturalist is seldom philosopher, and it not from
the brdover and the trcelover that one would expect
to gain such cosmography would for the re-
construction of religion and ethics.
The friends and admirers of John Burroughs,
therefore would do well TO claim for him titles that he
attempted to assume A great naturalist, most
pleasing writer and lovablc man he expressed his
opinions matters of religion with utmost sincerity
and most becoming modcsty and like other genuinely
free thinkers always willing accord to others the
liberty he claimed for himself
To look upon John Burroughs as the promulgaor of
a creed, and to hail him the prophet of
theory, to applaud him iconocast in the
temples of other men, aspcrsc his character and to
deract from the high ideals that ruled his mind and the
quality of the pursuits which he directed his life
