SCHOOL NURSE TO BE EN-.
PLOYED BY ~RENVILLE co.

Olivia will have the services of a
professional nurse in the schools for
the next month or two, according to
a decision of the school board and
village council at a meeting of the
Parent-teachers Association held on
Monday afternoon.
This does not mean that there is
any considerable amount of sickness
in the village at present. One or two
cases of scarlet fever have been re-
ported, but there are of mild form.
The association urged the temporary
employment of nurse as a precau-
tionary step, and on the theory that
an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. The nurse will be of
service in checking up on suspected
case of illness, teaching methods of
prevention Of illness, and care for
those that may be i'll, and will aid the
parents in carrying out health rules.

HAYFIELD MAIL CARRIER
VICTIM OF RI.IZZAE

Sam Erickson, for the past &c
years rural mail carrier out of Hay
field in Dodge county, met death in
the record blizzard Of two weeks ago
while engaged in making his regular
trip on route No. 2. He left the post
office during the binding storm, driv-
ing a team hitched to his enclosed
wagon, and had covered a portion OF
his route before he decided that the
storm was too severe to permit con-
tinuing. When he did not return to
the Hayfield postoffice or to his home
the evening Of the storm, it was be-
lieved that he had spent the day OF
the night at the home of some farmer
friend. A search was instituted the
following morning which resulted in
finding the frozen body in field near
the road. The wagon was standing a
short distance from where the body
was found, which showed that he evil
IDENTIFY unhitched his horses with the
intention of driving to a farm place
The horses were found with the har-
ness entangled in a wire fence and
were suffering badly from the severe
cold they had endured.

BRIDGES MAY

Five Requests to Congress
Are Made to Authorize
New Structures.

BIZ Times SDeciGI
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Motor-
lists whoa wish to enter or leave In
diana may find themselves COM
PEELED to pay tolls to private bridge
owners at many points where State
highways meet at rivers.
No less than five requests have
already been made of Indiana Con-
gressmen, on the part of private toll
bridge concerns. to introduce bills
which would authorize construction
of bridges to provide entrance into
the State.
At each of these bridges, of course,
although they would connect high
ways built by the States with Fed
eral aid, the motorist would be COM
PEELED to pay tolls.
Congress must give its consent to
the building Of any bridges across
navigable waters. Therefore, the pro-
moters of these bridges must get
bills introduced and passed before
they can proceed.
rive bri0geS urged
All the Congressman approached
so far have taken the bills under
advisement, wishing to consult the
Indiana highway commission before
they introduce them.
Private toll bridges are projected
at the following points:
At New Harmony, across the Wa
bash River to connect with new
Illinois State highway. Two bridges
are planned here by rival promoters.
At JeferSonville, across the Ohio
River to Louisville.
At Madison. across the Ohio River.
At Lawrenceburg, across the Little
Miami River to a point in Ohio.
One Of the features of the last
Congress, so far as Indiana was
concerned, was the fight between
proponents of the bills for private
and for a public bridge across the
Ohio at Evansville, Both bills fin
ally were passed.

The World and All
MY TowNs-oKLAHoMA CITY
By Charles p. Driscoll

Oklahoma still means cowboys and Indians to a
good many Americans. / have found few native New
Workers who know how to pronounce the name. Most
Of them pronounce the initial o as in hook. for some
reason or other, and add an entirely superfluous r on
the end Of the word. Thus they make it ock-luh-homer.
They know that it's where Will Rogers comes from. but
other correct information concerning the state and
its capital city Is difficult to extract from the folk
along Broadway.
But Oklahoma City claims a larger population than
the ancient town Of Yonkers. 1t has wide streets, tall
buildings. excellent hotels, fine newspapers. uncounted
millionaires and a civic pride that is notable and
justifiable.
Forty years ago there wasn't any such town as
Oklahoma City. 1t just happened one day. Not grad
ually, over = period of centuries, but on the afternoon
OF April %, 1889, within three hours, Oklahoma City
sprang up from the virgin prairie. It's citizens, that
first afternoon, thought well Of Oklahoma City. They
had come running, all the way from the Kansas line,
to drive stakes and set up tents. They found the place
a plain Of waving grass. That night they slept in a
city.
Few towns. indeed, have a more romantic origin or
a more colorful history, although many towns are older.
Oklahoma City is a rich city now. 1t is one Of the
leading cities of a region that is destined to produce
much of the wealth of the United States. There is no
limit in sight for Oklahoma City. 1t may become
larger than the present ST. Louis, and in all probabili-
ty will become Weather than ancient Athens. It's a
place of infinite promise.
When I was a small boy. walking b~arefooted to a
country school in southern Kansas. the long road was
marked by ever-moving lines of covered wagons. Some
were drawn by horses. some by those thin, spirited
beasts known as Indian ponies, and some by oxen. All
were headed south. They contained the beginnings Of
Oklahoma. Children who were born in those covered
wagons are among the leading citizens Of Oklahoma
City today.
History does not contain a more thrilling or a more
heroic epic than this one, and / am glad to have seen
it in the making. Some day some one will do the story
justice in historical literature.

Coming BY Boat

Foat exeursions from New York City 10 the Lower
Rio Crande Valley. via Galveston, have been announced
by a New York company interested in a Valley de-
velopment project. Prospective residents of the VAL
lev will board the Mallory Line boats at New York,
visit jacksonville, Miami and Key West, land at Gal
weston. and proceed by train to the Lower Rio Grande
Valley.
The trip will be an interesting one. II will doubt
lass attract hundreds Of New Workers who desire a
sea voyage and an opportunity to visit the Valley
which is producing fruit and vegetables of such sur
passinq quality. They will be given an opportunity
20 compare Florida and the Lower Rio Grande Valley,
the relative opportunities offered by the two most
famous sections Of the southern United States whose
shores are washed BY the warm waters Of the Gulf.
The Valley has nothing TO fear from this comparison.
While It is true that Valley development has not yet
reached the stage development in Florida has attain
"a and that the Valley may appear rather primitive,
to the visitors from New York, the fertility Of the VAL
lev soil. the exotic luxuriance of the Valley vegetation,
the citrus fruit groves bearing at the age Of three and
four wears, cannot fail to make an impression that will
more than offset the attractions Of Florida.
There Il only one unfortunate condition in connec-
t;on with the boat excursion plan. and that is the fact
that the excursiouists will be obliged to land at Gal
weston and proceed to the Valley by train. In the not
far distant future such excursions can probably land
Mt Point Isabel and will be spared the monotonous
train ride from Galveston 20 the lower border. When
their boat arrives off Cape Sable. Florids, they will
~ n "a II AUA = -
Galveston. but the fact that the Valley port Is not COM
rleted will force them to land far to the north, increas-
ing their travelling time over "a hours. hours which
thev could devote TO enjoying the Valley If their boat
eouId land them az the Valley port
Dredging Of q S0-foot hsrbor At Point Isabel, which
would assure excellent connections with the Atlantic
eeahoard. will doubtless result in thousands Of ex-
rrrsionists from New York and other large eastern
cities visiting the Valley each winter. The fame Of
Tampa. Miami and Jacksonville as tourist centers has
heen augmented by the fact that they have convenient
connections by boat with the northern seaboard cities
,The winter excursions which leave Atlantic ports for
the Caribbean and Gulf bring thousands Of tourists into
the Florida resorts. and the opening Of the deep water
harbor AZ Point Isabel should have similar results for
the Valley.
A deep water harbor at Point Isabel is rs neces-
10 the development Of tourist traffic as il is to
development Of the agricultural and Horticultural in
trrests Of the Valley. IL will provide low transporta-
4ion rates for the tourists from the East, and will
hiring inc the Valley thousands Of prospective resi-
dents and developers who will devote their energy and
eapital toward increasing the wealth production Of the
eusirs lower border section.
