The reasons prompting this change
are well understood by them and are
satisfactory to them. Mr.. Ewalt will
continue to practice in the Office oc.
cupied by Ewalt e. Blair while Mr..
Blair will remove to the Office occu.
pied by Judge wilkins in. the same
building. This Office has been occu-
pied as law office for more than 35
years and in this time has had some
notable tenants.
Judge wilkins, who is retiring from
the practice Of law in the Knox coup-
ty courts, is we'll known throughout
the county. Formerly resident of
Fredericktown he. removed to Mt. ver-
non in. 1910 and. for. IL. years has been
a resident here. In 1912 he was elect
ed probate judge of Knox county serv-
ing two terms in that court. On his
retirement from office Judge wilkins
opened an office in Mt. Vernon and re.
turned to the active. practice of the
law. The condition and state of his
health makes it advisable for him to
remove to western state where the
climate is more equitable and less rig
orous than that we have in Ohio.
Mt. Vernon folks will regret to lose
Judge wilkins and his estimable fami-
ly but will uniteHin wishing them hap
piness and success in their new west
ern home. Judge. wilkins does not
plan leaving for the west before the
latter part of the summer.

1t was fully explained by the COM
mittee that the funds needed were to
be divided as follows: Six thousand
dollars for the estimated deficit for
the year 1923 ard 81 500 for much
needed repairs, renovating and paint
ing and redecorating of the building.
1t was further explained that the funds
raised IN 1921 were ample to take the
hospital completely out of debt, free
all property from mortgages and
loans and pay all current bills of tie
institution to the end of the present
year. Six thousand of the $500 ask
ed at the present time is to take care
Of the estimated deficit which is to
accrue during the coming year.
Hospital officials and the members
Of the drive committee explain the
deficit each year is unavoidable. A
hospital can not finance itself from
the revenue received from patients. In
each patient there is a loss each day.
There is a further loss each day that
the institution operates because there
must be a larger capacity than is con-
stantly demanded, The nature of the
service which the hospital provides
for the people requires large cana
city for patients in order to fulfill that
service at any moment of the day or
night, the year round, which requires
large staff of nurses, full supplies,
food and other essentials for the care
OF patients. At times the volume of
service is reduced somewhat by a
