PLUMER HOSPITAL
UP THIS FALL
MEMORIAL STRUCTURE is
TO BE BUILD IF BIDS
ARE REASONABLE

The directors of the d. L. Plumer
Memorial hospital held meeting last
Monday night at which it was dc
cided to commence construction on
the new five story, fire-proof hospital
building at Sturgeon Eddy road and
Grand avenue early this fall provid-
ing estimates of cost prove to be
within reason. o. G.. Lemke, a men,
Der of the building committee, was
delegated to visit the architect of the
hospital, Perry w. Swern OF Chicago,
and to consult him about final bids on
the structure.
1t is understood that the board of
directors was not unanimous in its
decision to go ahead with construc-
ton. Several were in favor Of post
poning work for another year or even
two years, believing that so much
more money would be available at
that time. Further than this, con-
struction at present will mean the
substitution Of certain materials for
Others-terrazzO floors, for example,
for tiled floors, and in some places
concrete floors for terrazzo floors.
These changes in specifications will
make absolutely no difference in the
utility of the hospital. No nurses
home will be built, however, although
1t is possible that the house on the
grounds may be used or that a house
nearby will be rented for the pur-
pose.
The hospital will contain ninety
five beds and each room will have
toilets, shower baths, medicine cases
and other conveniences, including a
telephone. The Memorial building
will stand $50 feet away from Grand
avenue and patients will be taken in
to the hospital by a rear door near
which patients elevator will be To-
Gated. The ground floor of the struc-
ture will be de voted to administra-
ton purposes and will contain offices,
rest rooms and the kitchen. The sec
Ond and third floors are to be devoted
to patients, the fourth floor to OBJ
stetrical purposes and the maternity
wards and the top floor to operating
rooms and the use of surgeons.
There is need even now in this
community for another hospital such
as this" declared one of the members
of the hospital board to the editor
of The Pilot when he was asked about
the Plumer Memorial hospital "In
many authorities we find it estimated
that there should be a hospital bed
for every $50 persons and Marathon
county for its 10000 people, has not
this requirement. If the Plumer hos
pital contains ninety-five beds and
st. Mary's about 105 we will just about
reach the right balance. Dr. Billings
OF Chicago recently stated that bed
is necessary for every $50 inhabitants
and if this is taken to be true our two
hospitals would not be sufficient for
the county"
Practically all members of the
board were present Monday night. 1t
has been suggested that others may
assist in the. erection of the Plumer
hospital by adding endowments Ito
the principal sum contributed by the
d. L. Plumer estate.

by surveys made in various states by

national headquarters is the declara-
tion of William r. McCauley, COM

Our American people feel entirely

administered, might wake them up to

not generally realized that in Illinois
there are more than 175,000 people

not read or write the English Ian

INSECT PESTS OF GRAPES
ACTIVE IN VINEYARD STATE

Grape growers in the vineyard Sec
tions of New York, Ohio and Michi-

in the hope of protecting their crops
from various insect pests reported to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture as unusually numerous this
year. Severe injury has resulted in
all the states from the grape leafhop-

In Ohio and Michigan the grape
berry moth has caused more than
the usual amount of damage to grape
clusters by feeding on the stems or
buds during the blossoming period.
At Lawton, Mich, cocoons of this
moth were found on grape leaves
early in June, showing an unusually
advanced development of the larvae,
as grapes were just out of bloom,
and early appearing larvae were able
to complete their growth fully with
out entering the grape berries. At

DEATHS HARVEST IN RUSSIA

The official Bolshevik figures which
fix at 1,766,11S the number of per-
sons put to death under authority of
Soviet revolutionary authorities up
to last February present a picture of
slaughter unparalleled in the history
of the world. This record was made
by the Cheka, and its activities had
nothing to do with the military op-
erations within Russia and on its bor-
ders; in these operations thousands
OF men, women and children lost
their lives. Add to these the thou
sands of victims of famine VINO died
because of the failure of communistic
principles to operate as visionaries
thought they would operate and the
harvest death has reaped in Soviet
Russia reaches a stupendous total.
In the world war Russia lost ,7O0,-
100 men in battle. What losses among
Russian prisoners amounted to is not
known. The number executed by the
Cheka is almost exactly the same as
the number of battle deaths.
In the French revolution, with
which the Soviet revolution is fire.
quently compared, 1900 persons
were put to death under form of law
one per cent of the number the
Cheka killed. 1t is impossible to
compare the population of France in
1890 with Russia in 1917, but France
four generations ago certainly had
population greater than one per cent
Of Russias five years ago. At the
time of the French revolution, how
ever, man had not advanced as far
in the art Of slaughter as he had
when Lenine and Trotzky led the
proletarian uprising.
In the Civil war the federal battle
deaths reached 349,944. The cores
ponding Confederate losses are known
in part only. They exceeded $4,000.
Combined these losses amounted TO
less than one-third of the deaths Off
cially inflicted by the Cheka.

Some few miles from Winchester
Is a thriving little town.
Where the people are usually smiling
And are seldom known to frown.
Oh, you dear old Mt. Sterling,
am speaking these few truths,
As long as a person is in your city
They never have the blues.
The streets are short and crowded,
The stores, too, are small,
But when you visit one OF them
You don't want to leave at all.
The postoffice is a dream,
A very stately structure,
But that's the way of Mt. Sterling
They surely have luxury.
A dandy public school,
A modern high school, too,
With a gymnasium coming
Yes, it's every bit true!
We won't say much about the jail,
For we don't know who is in IL,
But we hope there's not many
In the horrible cells this minute.
We won't forget the court house,
We all ought to know the judges
name,
For he upholds law and order,
And everyone knows his fame.
Amusement? Well, ! shoEld say
The Tabb has a fine orchestra and
pictures,
And there's Kirk running up the aisles
Selling popcorn, or Dukes mixtures.
Good people who live there
Usually go to church,
And as the plate is passed around
Their duty they never shirB.
Garages? Sure, there's plenty!
When your old Ford breaks down
Take it to any of them
And it's all o. X. to leave town.
There's the Candy Kitchen
We surely all love sweets
Do YOU know Gerald Cockrell?
He used to fix the eats.
Don't forget the express company
Well, sure we love that wagon;
When Clay Shoemaker is driving
The old horse is never laggin'.
So here's to old Mt Sterling,
We love the people and the city;
We who can't live there
Think it's an awful pity.
Three cheers for old Mt. Sterling
Long live the glorious name;
You will reap what you have sown,
Which is glory, honor and fame.
