HISTORY AND ACCOMPLISH
MEMS OF THE WOMEN'S
AUXILIARY OF THE
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Under the leadership and direction
of C. S. Loder, hospital commissioner,
the Woman's Auxiliary Of the Memo
rial Hospital was organized Thurs
day, July II, 1919. More than 200
women were present at the initial
meeting held in the armory to elect
officers and discuss general plans.
The following officers were elected by
ballot: President, Mrs. Geo. M.
Dewey; first president, Mrs.
wv. F. Gallagher; second vice-presi-
dent, Mrs. T. o. Christian; recording
secretary, Mrs. Harland P. White;
assistant recording secretary, Miss
Nan Todd; corresponding secretary,
Mrs. Chas. Ward; assistant, Mrs.
James Osburn; financial secretary,
Mrs. c. S. Watson; assistant, Mrs. j.
Edwin Ellis; treasurer, Mrs. w. A.
Rosenkrans; assistant treasurer, Mrs.
w. P. Harryman.
A meeting of the officers was
held the following Saturday and Mr..
Loder further outlined for the exc
cutive committee, plans Of work sat
isfactorily used by like organizations
Mrs. Geo. Thompson, Mrs. Frances
Sheldon, Mrs. c. o. Loring, Mrs.
Anna Swartzmiller and Miss Georgia
Colt were appointed as committee
to draw up constitution and bylaws,
which were adopted at meeting held
Oct. 3.
The meetings have been held in the
Elks temple parlor, the use of which
was generously granted by that lodge
and the courtesy has been very much
appreciated. Meetings are held the
last Wednesday afternoon of each
month and begin promptly at three
o'clock. An interesting feature has
been the splendid reports given by
the chairmen Of the well organized
committees represented by member
from each ward, thus keeping the
ladies informed in the different lines
of work.
On Dec. Is, 1919, in response to
call of the trustees, to make ready for
use the temporary quarters of the
hospital, the president and vice-presi-
dent, and members of the Furnishing
Committee, Mrs. o. L. Sprague, chair
man, Mrs. A. Crawford, Mrs. w. F..
Noble, Mrs. B. L. AFFORD, Mrs. Geo.
T. Campbell and Miss Therese Kill
murray, went early to the hosmtal
and worked all day to have every
thing in readiness for the first pa
tient, who was brought in the same
evening, thus demonstrating what
can be accomplished when hearts are
in the work. Upon this same COM
mittee rests the responsibility of
hanging curtains and the placing of
kitchen utensils in the new hospital.
Soon after the temporary hospital
was settled the House Committee,
composed of Mrs. J. NJ Bentley, Mrs.
j. L. Wildermuth and Mrs. H. Kirk
White, visited the new quarters and
reported that there was plenty of
linen, blankets, dishes and necessary
supplies, which had been furnished by
the Auxiliary and that the hospital
was well equipped for temporary use.
The Publicity Committee, Miss Nan
Todd, Mrs. J. Z. Ellis, Mrs. James
Osburn and Mrs. Harland T. White.
have from time to time published
items of interest concerning the Aux
iliary activities.

PEA R0OT-KOT FOUND
IN WESTERN STATES
Much of Seed Grown in Montana,
Idaho and Utah.
Survey Indicates That There Are In
cipient Cases of Disease in Nearly
All of the Most Important
Districts.
CPreDared By the UnItsa sta.ss Departmsnt

prepared by the United States Department
or Agricultural
Does pea root-rot, so destructive in
the pea-canning sections of the Eastern
and Central states, occur in the impor-
tant seed-producing sections of the
West, or is there some basis for the
belief of the growers there that their
climate and soil safeguard them in
some way from loss? Is there any
danger of the spread of pea diseases
with western seed.
Answers TO these questions have
been made by specialists of the bu-
reau of plant industry, United States
Department of Agriculture. who have
studied the pea disease situation dur
ing the past season, which has been
one of heavy loss in some of the older
sections of the country, where pea
root-rot has now become so common
that many fields are unproductive and
the continuation of the industry seems
uncertain in some localities.
Much of the seed used in the East
is grown in Montana, Idaho, and Utah,
where the industry is relatively young.
A survey of these states, however, in
dicates that there are incipient cases
of pea root-rot in nearly all of the I'M
portant districts and that under pres
ent conditions it Will be only a matter
Of time before this type Of trouble is
as widespread as it is in the East
In the same way the western potato
growers, who formerly escaped root
troubles, now find their yields very
greatly curtailed by Fusarium blight,
Rhizoctonia, and other fungus para
sites which have increased with the
longer culture of the crop. The west
ern climate cannot be depended upon
to keep plants healthy. Growers
should therefore watch carefully for
the appearance Of pea root-rot and
practice the longest possible rotations
to prevent its development. The sit
uation is not one to justify undue
alarm, but these findings should be
taken seriously if the interests of the
pea crop in later years are to be safe
guarded.
The danger of spreading pea dis
eases with the seed is minimized by
the department specialists, who point
out that only one disease, the leaf
and pod spot, is carried in this way,
and this is not as general or extensive

DETERIORATION OF WooDLoTs
There Is Usually Almost No Young
Growth of Tree Species Where
Pastured Heavily.

Heavy pasturing of farm woods has
been one of the chief causes of their
deterioration, it has been found by the
forest service, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The severity of
damage depends largely upon the
number Of stock. and the makeup of
the woods. In heavily pastured woods
there is usually almost no young
growth Of the valuable tree species.
Cattle. horses. sheep. or goats eat
young seedlings, particularly the hard
woods trample them out. or else
break them off. Hogs eat some kinds
of seed and thus prevent reproduction
from starting or root young seedlings
out of the ground and sometimes eat
the roots.
In those parts of the southern long
leaf pine region where hogs run wild
they are known to do great deal Of
damage to the seedlings and often
damage trees several feet in height
When driven out OF the swanps by
high water in the late winter and early
spring they root up the long-leaf pine
seedlings and devour the heavy roots.
Observations carried on in Louisiana
have shown stands of several thousand
long-leaf pine seedlings per acre where
protected against hogs and no seed
lings on adjacent areas which were
unprotec'

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly IN direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. tKilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease
Dr.. KIlmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of swo sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co. Bingham
ton, n. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

CRATES FOR PRIZE WINNERS
Proper Care Is of Big Importance in
Arranging and Handling Exibi-
ton Coops
prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
Not infrequently improperly built
and unsuitable coops have resulted in
accidents and damage TO the fowl in
transit, or have presented the birds
in such Objectionable surroundings
that they have been neither pleasing
to the general spectator nor TO the
judge.
Where fowls are shipped by express,
in order TO have them reach their desti-
nation in the best possible condition,
they should be transported in special
shipping coOps, which should be sub
stantially built and able to withstand
rough handling. Such a coop may be
made from waste lumber salvaged from
dry-goods boxes or secondhand half
inch material. Boards more than one
half inch thick should not be used, as
they make the coop too heavy and the
express charges excessive. The coop
should be nailed together with the
supports of the Stats or cover on the
top which should be put on with
screws or hinges and hooks, so that it
may be easily opened. This is import
ant, as the top or cover must be opened
each time the coop is used. and if pur
on with nails it is soon broken and the
coop spoiled.
There are standard sizes of coops
which commonly are used for shipping
poultry, the dimensions of these con
tainers varying according to the nun
Der of fowl TO be transported The
following dimensions should be used
in constructing the coop: For one hen or
cock, L inches wide, Is inches long,
and "a inches high; for two hens or
one hen and cock, u inches wide, pa
inches long, and 24 inches high. In
preparing for shipment, a small quanti-
ty Of hay, straw, or dry shavings
should be placed in the bottom of the
coop to absorb moisture. and two cups
or cans should be provided-one for
feed and one for water. The cups
should be fastened securely to the
side walls in opposite corners.
Special exhibition coops should be
used by poultry-club members in ex-
hibiting fowls at county and school
fairs or other exhibitions, or by adult
shOwmen in displaying their champion
poultry. Such coops should not be I
used for shipping poultry, but may be

employed to take the birds to the
show, if carried by wagon or motor
car. The floor should be solid and the
framework of wooden strips, ? inches
wide and liz inches thick. The top.
back and sides may be covered with
lath, wire netting. or any kind of thin,
strong cloth. The front should be Of
Pinch wire netting. If it is impossible
to obtain netting, however, laths may
be used, but the strips should be placed
about 21a inches apart, to afford as
much opportunity as possible to see
the birds. The coop should be made in
the form of a 2-foot cube, and will
accommodate one mature bird or a
pair of chickens. If more than this
are to be exhibited together the coop
should be made larger in proportion
TO the number of fowls it is TO &C
commodate.
Every poultry-club member or other
fowl fancier, who intends TO exhibit
birds, should construct one or more
exhibition coops of this type, accord
ing to the number of specimens he in
tends to exhibit. Birds can be trained
and conditioned in these coops before
the exhibition, and after becoming
accustomed to them they will appear
to better advantage when being judged.
Furthermore, when birds are shown
in coops of this kind that are uniform
in size and type, not only is the APP
pearance of the showroom improved,
but the individual exhibit is more at
tractive. Training and exhibiting
same of the hest SneeimenS of both
old and young birds every fall is an
interesting and important part of boys
poultry-club work.

SHOULD NOT MATE TOO SOON
For Best Results, Angora Goats
Must Be Allowed to First Attain
Full Maturity.

Angora goats of both sexes will
sometimes mate when five months old
and often az six months, but from the
fact that they are at this age but
a month or two from weaving time, and
are not nearly full grown, it is obvious
that they should not be permitted to
mate. They reach maturity when
about 10 or 1S months old, and they
ought not TO mate before that time.
IL mated earlier the kids will not be
so strong. or so well developed. They
are in their prime when two or six
years old but with proper feeding
in winter they have been known to
breed regularly until 10 years old.
The average life Of goat is about
u years. There should be no tendency
to keep does until they are very old.
unless they bring extra good kids
