DRYING HOUSE
LOCAL TRUCK GROWERS ASSO'N
TO MAKE EFFORT TO STIM-
ULATE POTATO INDUSTRY.

A meeting of the Board Of Direc-
tors of the Washington Truck Grow
ers Association has been called for
Saturday by J. T. Baker, president
Of the organization. The main OBJ
ject Of the meeting is to take up the
matter Of erecting a large potato
drying house on the railway tracks
here for use of the members. At
this meeting a date will be fixed for
meeting of the membership and all
other interested parties, at which
1t will be undertake make some
definite progress 4, erection Of
the drying house.
The value of potato drying houses
is being impressed on growers more
now than ever before. While those
who did not have drying facilities
sold the past seasons crop around
80 cents per bushel, cured potatoes
are now said to be meeting ready
sale at $1.5O loaded on cars. The
loss from rot is also eliminated by
curing.
Among other crops already decided
on by the association for this season
is cantaloupes and radighes. About
% acres will be devoted to the latter
crop and some Of the truckers have
already sown. 1t is probable that
several hundred acres will be put in
cantaloupes in this vicinity.

never knew, but when one day Reddy
stopped to speak to Mr.. Coon and
found him eating his dinner from a
tin plate he did not let on he noticed
It.
It was a long time after this that
Mr. Coon discovered about the flashes.
He was eating his dinner. and having
made his tin plate very clean by eat
ing all that was on It, he picked 1t up
and the sun striking it made little
flashes round the room.

way he did it. Well, I don't see but

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES
CARE FOR 100000
IN THE SOUTHWEST
Workers in Red Cross Chapters
in Seven States Have
Big Job.

II the 1911 public health nurses now
working under the emblem Of the Red
Cross in the Southwestern Division Of
the American Red Cross were with.
drawR tomorrow, more than 100000
sick and infirm men, women and chill
dren would be left without nursing
care and advice, according to Miss
Olive Chapman, Director of Nursing
of the Southwestern Division of the
American Red Cross.
The Public Health Nurse is one Of
the most important officers in the
American Red Cross today. Her job
Is to help the people TO get well and to
keep well. She teaches mothers how
to look nfter thalr l.abIos and scbool
chrH-,n how TO avoid Illness and ms
ease. She is found I'm schools, homes,
Fairgrounds, Industrial plants, depart
ment stores, hospitals, and health CEN
ters. Her work is in the small towns
and In the big cities, in the rural COM
munitles and In the lonely mountain
regions Of the West. She Is wherever
there is need for her service, regard
less Of race, religion or social con-
ditions.
Any form of community work in
which the health Of the public is con-
cerned Is hers. She visits the rich and
the poor alike and teaches both the
common sense rules Of good health
She locates tuberculous patients and
cares for them, and at the same time
teaches the families how to prevent
the disease from spreading to other
members. She assists I'm school medl-
cal inspection Of children and follows
defective children into their homes to
advise the parents and induce them to
act on the advice Of the school doctor
She watches over families I'm which
there are contagious diseases, such as
dyphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping
cough and influenza, and teaches the
families how TO isolate the patient so
as to prevent infection.
She takes care Of the mother before
the baby arrives and builds for the
future by showing the mother how TO
care for her baby. She gives instruc-
tlon in sanitary living conditions, and
even at times In questions of diet.
She is the closest point of contact
between the great American Red Cross
and the public
There is a known shortage in the
United States today Of several thou
sand public health nurses and there
is greater shortage Of hospital and
private nurses. Many chapters in the
Southwestern Division of the Ameri-
can Red Cross maintain public health
nurses and conduct work of a greater
or less scope through the agency Of
such a nurse. These chapters are de-
pending upon the membership fees
coming in from the annual Red Cross
Roll Cali TO finance their public health
nursing program for the coming year.
The Roll Call will take place Novem-
Der 1lth to oath, according to an
nOuncement given out at the local Red
Cross headquarters.

IN very clever fellow. He gets his
living by his wits as well as his cour-
age.
One day while Reddy was eating his
dinner out of his bright tinplate he
happened to notice that as he moved
it he made little flashes of bright light
for the sun was shining right on it.
Reddy Fox always thinks a great

light about the room he was thinking
how he could use it TO his advantage,
meaning how he could play some tricl,
on some one in a way that would get

A Mr.. PHILLIPS FINED IN JUS
TICE TIFFIN'S COURT ON
PROFANITY CHARGE.

\ A man by the name Of Phillips,
said to live at Nashville, was fined
$1,000 and costs in Esq. w. E. Tifin's
court in Mine Creek township this
week on a charge of using profane
ard indecent language.
The charge grew out of an incident
in which a truck load of young peo-
pie from Washington who accompan-
led Rev. W. II. Stingley to his APP
pointment at Mineral Springs last
Sunday figured. The engine of the
truck in which they were riding was
killed in an attempt to go up a bluff
at the side Of the raod in order to miss
-aAmud hole. A log was in the way
anG members of the party got out
and removed it. At this juncture
Phillips, accompanied by his wife and
children, came up in 4 car from be-
hind and detoured around the truck,
at the same time using profane and
Indecent language, according to wit
nesses. 1t is said that Phillips stop
ped his car after getting back into

the fact that ladies were in both
parties probably prevented a personal
