While little publicity has been Civ
en- to the matter of pre- building. activ-
tiles of the officials of the Memorial
Hospital association, the board of trus-
tees have not been idle. They are con-
stantly at work gathering information,
securing plans and consulting expert
enced architects and otherwise inform
ing themselves preparatory to the ac-
tual carrying out of plans. This time
is well spent. A hospital is an institu-
ton to serve community for all time,
and to plan it so that it will meet the
need of the community from the start
and grow with the growth of it, re-
quires careful thought and conscien-
tious deliberation. Hospital construc-
ton has in recent years passed through
stage of rapid development, and new
features are constantly added which
aim to increase the efficiency Of the
hospital and reduce cost of maintain
ance. All these matters are gone into
by the local hospital board in order
that nothing may develop after the
actual construction commences which
would make it necessary to alter their
plans.

Monday. Relatives and friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Russell gathered in the pretty
grove of his son-in-law and daughter,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Sherwood, last
Sunday to enjoy the genial company of
the old soldier and wish him many hap
py returns of the day. The day was
warm, but under the shady oaks and
NAPLES on the shores of Rice lake the
air was pleasant, and here the company
camped and had community picnic
dinner. Bathing, boating and visiting
filled the day with pleasant diversions.
Mr.. Russell is a veteran of the civil
war, and now commander of the G. A.
R. post of Edgerton. In civil and pat
