WANT HOSPITAL FOR WEST.
Oakley, Kansas, Wants Aid for Five
Counties Near That City.

Oakley, Kan, July 1s.-The recent
Methodist conference at Goodland To-
Gated hospital at Hays. Efforts of
TAR west counties to have one estab-
hshed nearer them were unavailing.
The county commissioners and citi-
zens OF Logan county now are urging
the erection of a 25-bed hospital here
as relief for Logan, Wallace,
Thomas, Cove and Sheridan counties
1t is held that the transferring of sick
and injured persons 200 to 500 miles
by rail or auto to Hays or some other
point increases the possibility of
death. They plan to overcome the
lack of hospital facilities thru public
subscriptions and county aid.

Girl Scout Movement

q ONE years ago Sir Robert BADEN

idea concerning girls. Across thu table
in his English library he con1ded i to
Lady Baden-Powell. lie said IN effect:
IF girls could find some way o: doing
the hard and disagreeable tasks by COM
petition with some reward at tho end
of the lane don't you think they would
do them more willingly and perhaps
enthusiastically"
Lady Baden-Powel thought they
would and the Girl Guides came into

Sir Robert, it turns out, had long

adopted a merit system Whereby troop
members would be given badges Tor

Mt. Holyoke College Boasts Nucleus
OF Students League OF Nations

diate, Wholehearted response indicates
Women's colleges. as well as mems are
beginning to realize that the privilege OF

In the case Of Mount Holyoke the
appeal for immediate help reached the
college shortly after the announcement
had been made that the college would
offer three new Oriental scholarships

and one Korean student, respectively.
Upon learning the need of the Smyrna
students the college decided 10 grant
them the new Oriental scholarships,
which cover fun board and tuition this
year.
The list OF foreign scholarships offered
by the college is thus as follows: Two
scholarships of $3.50 each for the use OF
Chinese students, one scholarship Of
$3.50 for Latin-American student. three
scholarships Of $3.50 each for the use Of
one Chinese, one Korean and on Japan

scholarship and have il renewed year

Just One Thing
and Mother

Tine most difficult kind Of obedience
10 learn Is self obedience. Our
tntellects constantly issue orders
to us Of which we recognize the wisdom
but which we fail to carry out because
they interfere in one way or another
with our pleasures or desires. If we
could only school ourselves to follow the
wise advice which springs from within
we would avoid many disasters and
much unhapplness and we would be
travelling along the road which leads to
health and prosperity.
or course the chief reason for our
neglect to live up to the dictates of our
own intelligence Is lack OF what we call
will power. Not enough strength of
character to hew to the line which our
reason tells us Is the wise one. Not
enough of the starch OF determination
to stinen our spines and hold us to the
purpose which our logic proves to be
proper one. Lack of mental sclf-control.
There Is. however. another reason
which interferes with our acceptance
of our own judgments. 1t Is a lack of
trust In the wisdom OF the decisions of
our subconscious minds. We seem to
hno" HStincuVeiy the right ana wrong
OF some question, but because we are
unable to analyze the exact reason back
Of that knowledge we hesitate to accept
1t. We feel that 1t is a whim or a
bunch and Is not based on real reason
ing. It Is a mistake to underestimate our
subconscious mental powers. Rather we
should seek to develop them and learn to
reiy on their decisions. The mind has
enormous resources for reasoning below
consciousness and many Of the thoughts
which seem to pop into our headc from
nowhere are really based on a careful
analysis which has been going on sub
consciously without onr knowledge and
which is based on facts we are not
aware of. Got the habit of using those
inner hidden resources and learn to trust
the wise opinions which they present to
you.

Old F olklore
OF Cranberries

ne cranberry. the fruit OF vine
which he found growing wild along

ton.
Climatic conditions then played havoc
with the crop. for some seasons there
would hardly be any berries-the over
dry season and heavy frosts all had
their effect on the crop. Again there
would be bumper crops and SO many
berries that the thrifty farmer would
gather them and send them to the in
land colonies. where they would be re-
ceiVed with a great deal OF pleasure. In
this way the fame of the cranberry
spread.
Then came an era when the farmer
in che communities where this luscious
berry thrives found it profitable to COM
mence the cultivation of the cranberry.

waiting patiently during the long sum-
