are devised to meet the coming pay
ments. A full financial statement Is
given above. This financial state
ment which should be read by every
one to understand the serious finan-
cial condition Of the Hospital. Com
pany.
The directors have given freely OF
their time, and the affairs OF the
company have been conducted at a
minimum of expense. The clerical
expense of the secretary treasurer
office for 1921 aggregate amounted
to less than 800. The work OF
collections and other clerical work
now makes it necessary for paid
assistant at an expense of not to ex-
ceed $500 year. Outside OF the
expense of a collector there has been
no outlay of money, and every dol
lar has gone into the building. The
Hospital Company has received most
generous support from all over the
county, and believes that II the
wants of the hospital become fully
known that the money will be forth
coming to complete and equip 1t.
The problem which now cOnfronts
the directors is the fact that within
sixty days the hospital will be COM
pleted, and final bills for approx
mately 100000 will be presented,
with possibly $1,000 that can be
collected to apply on them. This
will make at least $4,000 to be
raised. and at the present time the
directors are unable to figure where
the money will come from. The d.
rectors would like the attention OF
the following societies and clubs to
their dire necessity:
The Abilene Commercial Club
The Abilene Business Mems Asso-
citation
The Federation Of Women's Clubs
Ladies' Aid Societies Of all
church in the county
The directors believe that 1t is
better not to attempt to borrow any
money for the purpose OF fnishing
the building. Dickinson county with
its wealth on an assessed valuation
totaling more than fifty million dol
lars should furnish the money to
complete this hospital. 1t is a com
munity project and as the direc-
tors and officers have given freely
of their time, they are sending this
appeal broadcast for the help OF the
above named societies, and all others
interested in the project. There are
many people living in Abilene and
Dickinson county, who are abun-
dantly able to contribute, but whose
names have not yet appeared on the
subscription blank. The company
will gladly accept pledges to mature
on or before September 1st without
interest. The directors would like
to have suggestions from everybody
as to the above method Of meeting
the bills above referred to on or be-
fore May 1st. viii you help?

bulletin, which adds:
"To be a good model, one need
not of necessity be beautiful. For
students who are learning anatomy
or structure of the face, the bones
should be prominent and no willowy
curves are desired. For advanced
modelling classes beautiful curves are
sought, and the head and face should
have a fine contour. For classes in

The first efforts made for the Dick
inson County Hospital were started
in the fall Of 1919. The Commercial
Club of Abilene became interested in
the project, which was Brought to
their attention, and their interests Sc
cured through the combined efforts OF
nearly all of the physicians in Abb
lene, several in Solomon, and other
places. The first plan proposed was
to build a hospital costing some
where from $40, 900 to $4,000. AS
investigations were made, and build
ing costs estimated, it was soon de-
cided that a hospital of that size
would not serve county like Dickin-
son, and that the efforts should be
directed to building a hospital that
would perform its proper function in
a county the size, and having the
wealth Of Dickinson.
The commercial bodies of Abilene
made a canvas during the years 1920
and 1921. Several intensive cam
paigns were inaugurated and the can
vas included nearly every township
in Dickinson county, except several
on the south line. In the early part
of 1921 the subscriptions totaled over
100000. 1t was then decided to make
in fact as well as name memorial
hospital In honor of the soldiers, sail
ors, nurses and marines who partici-
pated in the World War from Dickin-
son county. The company was incor-
porated, and a board Of twenty-three
directors elected For the purpose OF
facilitating the work connected with
the hospital, and letting Of contracts,
a board Of eight executive directors
were elected from the larger body,
and have since carried on the work
Of the hospital. Contracts were let in
August, 1921, and the work has pro-
gressed rapidly from that time owing
to the open winter and favorable
weather.
Up to the present time subscription
payments have enabled the treasurer
