Growers Receive Payment.

Additional beet checks were mailed
this week by the Holly Sugar Cor
poration to all growers for an addi-
tional 25 cents per ton according to
the terms of the 1921 contract, which
provided for payment upon the profit
sharing basis. This brings the total
payment for beets up to $6.25 per ton.
Officials of the company are quite
optimistic and believe another pay
ment will be made before September.

DR.. Wood says, eff rural America
is to continue to be a satisfactory
nursery of human life for the nation,
it must be made beautiful and at
tractive; it must provide conditions
favorable for the cultivation of the
best.
The improvement of human health
and welfare in rural America is a
problem of the greatest signific-
ance in relation to our national well
fare. 1t is a problem affecting
national safety, national prosperity,
national perpetuity. 1t is a prob
lem dealing with the most essential
and most endangered of all our
resources. No factor is of greater
fundamental Importance for secur-
ing national preparedness either for
peace or for possible war;"
Obviously the Rural Health Nurse
is the messenger who is to carry the
gospel of health into the rural home,
who is to examine the school chill
dren, who is to inspire and stir the
rural school child to enlist in the
Health Crusade.
Julia Lathrop has said, "The pub
lie health nurse must be a woman
of broad training. She is really
creating a new profession. She must
know many things the hospital nurse
does not know. She must have
courage, independence and social I'M
Outstanding. She must use in
genuity in meeting practical condi-
tons.
In all these qualifications the
Rural Health Nurse has proven her
self true. In the past so much has
been required of her, that her duties
have been many and varied. She
has been the dietitian, the home dem
onstrator, the maid-of-all work, as
well as the nurse, her activities have
included prenatal work, birth regi-
stration, instruction to mothers,
supervision of sick and b~ottle-fed
babies, Improvement of sanitary con-
ditions in homes, instruction classes
for mid-wives, bringing babies and
mothers to public clinics, supervision
of tuberculous patients, assisting in
control of epidemics, examination of
school children, and not the least of

Ruth A. Dodd, Supervisor of Pub,
lie Health Nursing, South Carolina
writes of her experience in a pioneer
county in one of the states. "When
l first found myself in this big
County with only a horse and buggy
with which to cover the ground,
had very much the same sensation
that one might have who had been
suddenly dumped overheard in the
briny deep. But fortunately for me,
one of the towns was planning a baby
conference and asked me, to assist,
This conference was at least a '-howl-

Soon after, schools opened
and we began medical inspection.
We inspected sanitary conditions of
school buildings and endeavored to
correct the improper heating, light
ing, ventilating and seating of those
buildings that were injuring the chill
dren's health.
Along this line we had the seats
changed in many of the schools;
sanitary closets were installed
throughout the county; sanitary
towels and first aid cabinets were in
stalled in many of the schools; the
hot lunch system was tried out and
most successfully, even in the little
one-room schools; water coolers and
individual drinking CUPS were insist
ed upon, and you would be surprised
to know how many of the schools
were found with the open bucket and
dipper. Even in the second year of
my work there, I found still two lit
tie schools with the bucket ard dip
per, and the teacher told me that the
trustees had refused to buy the cool

portunity to address a farmers club
in that neighborhood, and l knew
that two of those trustees were pres

Health Defects of School Children, City and Country Children Compared.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1922-03-15
THE RURAL HEALTH NURSE.

Ipany had for some years employed
a visiting nurse, who had taught the
mothers prenatal care, who had
taught the mothers how to care fol-
their children.
We are Beginning to Realize That
if we are to be a Healthy people we
must take care of the health of All
the people in Both city and rural
communities.
One hundred years ago the United
States was a nation of farmers;
there were few large cities. The
largest cities, New York and Phila-
delphia, had a population of oaly
about one hundred thousand people.
As the number of large cities in
creased, as we became more and
more of an industrial nation, more
and more thought was given to laws
pertaining to cities.
Cities have gone on and on with
their improvements, and there yet
remains much to be done, but unit
ed efforts in behalf of human well
care and human health in Rural
America. have not kept pace with
those put forth in cities.
Country children deserve good
health as much as city children;
country children deserve educational
and recreational advantages equally
with city children.
Many cities have mandatory laws
which provided for medical and den
tai inspection in the public schools.
In many cities there r school
nurses giving most of their time to
the school work, while this is true in
only rural schools has demonstrated
the Great Value of her services.
According to the United States
Census, three out of every five chill
dren live in rural communities of
less than $500 people. DR.. Thomas
D. Wood says, "More than half, about
two thirds, of the school children of
the United States, are attending
rural schools. Country children at
tending rural schools, are, on the
average, less healthy and are handi-
capped by more physical defects
than the children of the cities, in
Guiding all the children of the Sums"
DR.. Wood gives a table showing
health defects of rural and city chill
dren, this table based on reports of
over a half million children.

Complete Program.

A most complete program in the dis
semination of market reports by wire
less is being planned by the state bu-
reau Of markets in Ohio, a specially
constructed r%adiophone transmitter Of
the most improved type being installed
in, the radio station of the University
of Ohio for that purpose. The Texas
markets and warehouse departments
are also planning q market news serv-
ice by radiophone for farmers, deal
ers and shippers in Texas, arrange
ments being made to use the radio
equipment of the University Of Texas
at Austin.
The first national market report to
be broadcast by wireless anywhere in
the world was sent out by the United
States Department of Agriculture
from the radio station of the United
States bureau Of standards only a lit
tie wei a year ago. The department
soon demonstrated the practicability
fulfilling the radio for disseminating
market information, and rapid prog-
ress in expanding the work has been
made possible through the co-opera-
ton Of state and federal agencies.
To make the American farmer the
best-informed farmer in the world Is
the aim of these agencies, and equal
progress during the coming year will
20 far toward securing that result,
say officials Of the federal department.

big sup,
But the water was dusty and stale.
Uncovered and warm, and causing
much harm,
The bucket stood open to all;
Bad colds and the Group, and the
cough with the whoop,
Were scattered like leaves in the fall.
The cup had been used, and sadly
abused,
By all of the children in school;
For the trustees cared not, said that
germs were all rot
And the State Board Of Health was a
fool.
But Jacky got Sick, for he failed not
to lick
The germs from the edge of the cup;
The people then said "Let's now go
ahead,
Since the thief's got the horse, we'll
lock up".
They provided a way for clean water
each day,
Through a free bubbling fountain
at last;
Now the sickness they found dis
tributed round,
By the cups and the water is past".
Mrs. Dodd tells of her health
talks to the children of the co-opera-
ton of the teachers, and of the in
spection of the school children.
The school nurse should be well
coined to the public school. If we
require children to attend school, we
should so assist them to perfect ply
steal health that they can assimilate
the knowledge which is given them
from day to day. Health work car
ried on in the public schools is not
charity work. 1t should be a digni-
fled and honored part of the public
school system.
We look forward to the time when
Every state shall have an efficient
public health nursing service, when
each community shall have its corps
of Public Health Nurses.
Let us work to cur the Public
Health Nurse in Our Community; let
US assist her with equipment if she is
not fully equipped. let US furnish
the emergency layettes and Mothers
Comfort Kit if she is not supplied,
and let US not forget first of all to
give her a Great measure of appre-
citation.

Hats off to the Rural Health
Nurse! Only a few years has she
been with US but she has proven her
worth. She has stayed "on her job"
twenty four hours out of twenty four
many a time. She has walked many
a mile to relieve a suffering woman
or child; she has travelled with a lit
tie old horse and a WORKOUT buggy;
she has travelled with a mule; per-
haps now she has a "Ford".
Hats off to the Health Nurse. 1t
is a long and beautiful story of the
little nurse who went into the mill
community, during a typhoid fever
epidemic and became the "good
angel" of the community; the
stories are, long and beautiful of the
Rural Health Nurse who has gone
over the wide prairies, and up into
the mountains to help in the fight
against ignorance and disease. The
Rural Health Nurse has given an edu-
Gated and a c~onsecrated service.
Often, at first, she has been an I'M
welcomed visitor; often she has not
been appreciated By the community.
Now we know her. Now we appre-
ciate her.
During the great world war, when
the women of our country were unit
ed in service, through the Woman's
Committee Council of National De-
tense, / began to watch the work of
the Rural Health Nurse. Whatever
she was serving i found her to be a
blessing to the community.
During: "The Children's Year"
there came the week when the chill
dren in a certain mining section of
n of the states, were to be weigh
ed and measured. The mothers
from the mining district, came into
the little town, six, eight, ten little
children clinging to their skirts.
When for some great reason, the
mother could not come, the father
brought the children, for "the gov
eminent has said all the children are
to be weighed"
Local physicians gave their SER
vices, and there happened to be Wis
iting in the town for a few days, a
prominent eastern physician who al
so offered to assist. More and more
his amazement increased as the chill
dren registered almost one hundred
per cent healthy. The reason was
soon discovered. The mining COM

Reports received in Rome or sep
aratist' movement in Sardinia requiring
strong repressive measures by the Gov
ernment are secuted as absurd in best
informed circles For three years there
has been a movement In Sardinia for
administrative autonomy just as there
have been similar movements in the
Abruzzi and the Trentino. where the
people have felt oppressed because OF
the management OF their local affairs by
Rome.
Sardinia. a speck in the Tyrrhenian
Sea which produces brigands, cork and
Italy's most magnificent soldiers, has
always been hotly patriotic and never
dreamed of separation from Italy and
the King. Sardinia's lot has been hard.

No tourists go to Sardinia, because TO
cross the tiny island by rail takes
twenty-four hours, while the same dis
tance from Rome to Florence is accom-
plished in four hours.
The Sardinlaus preserve their old tra-
ditions, proudly wearing their native
costumes everywhere. Even when they
travel to Rome they wear a black stock

were caused by the Fascisti entering

tension.
