T. 3. Near Eradication?

It is the belief of DR.. Henry D. Chadwick of
Waltham Mass, president of the National Tu-
berculosis Association, that the white plague
eventually will be eradicated, and if not soon, at
least not too far in the future. His reasoning IS
based on certain cheering facts.
Dr. Chadwick told the association, meeting IN
Cleveland that since the organization was
founded in 1904 there has been great decline IN
tuberculosis Deaths in fact from 200 per 100000
population to 1876 The annual death toll 35
years ago was 10000. Today it is 10000, and
tuberculosis has fallen from the position of No. l
killer to No. 6.
Great advances have been made in treatment,
prevention and sanitation, and DR.. Chadwick
sees no reason why this decline should not persist
until the disease is practically eradicated. He al
so called attention to advances made in the treat
nlent and prevention of other troublesome dis
orders, showing that the care, caution and exper-
fence of physicians, chemists, health authorities
and educated persons have worked marvellous re-
suits.
The above appeared as editorial in the Ohio
State Journal 1t should bring to minds the
Rocky Glen sanatorium, the largest privately
owned tuberculosis sanatorium in the country
which is doing its full share in eradicating tu-
herculosis, formerly of the very worst dis
eases of which we had knowledge. The great de-
cline in death rate of tuberculosis victims also
calls to mind the other dread diseases medical
science has conquered such smallpox, typhoid
fever, dphtheria and yellow fever, and many
other diseases have been greatly curbed, all of
which have combined to greatly reduce the NOR
taity rate in this country.

New Football Stadium

For the first time our M. & M. football team
will play Friday in their own stadlum-a dream
come true 1t will also be M. & MS first home
game of the season. and the Big Reds will appear
in new uniforms While the athletic held is not
fully completed, it will be insofar as football
PLAYING is concerned The stadium is one OF the
best in the Muskingum valley During its con
struction through the NYA, many young people
have been given employment
No doubt some may think that the athleuc
field is costly luxury, but we do not think So
We believe that it is real asset to the town, and
in the long rum even from the dollars and cents
standpoint we will be ahead. 1t is true that a
few years ago such things as a stadium tor hlgn
school was practically unheard, but so were many
other things that are now in common use
Since the Chautauqua auditorium was razed
there is no place here with seating arrangement
where outdoor gatherings can be held, nearer
than at the fair grounds
We should all be proud Of our new stadium
it is needed and through its construction we have
added to the value of schools and of the Twin
Cites as WELL and it has not increased our tax
rate.
Don't miss the game tomorrow afternoon, and
please keep in mind the rules concerning the
stadium as published in last weeks paper.

The Bently organization has listed hundreds OF
business concerns looking for new locations and
it supplies them with information such as IS
gathered from careful surveys-not only that,
but Mr. Bently does his best in trying to get
them to locate in places which he feels best SUIT
ed to their requiremnets. He seemed particular
ly impressed with this county because OF It beng
a producer of wool of the finest quality. He stat
ed that there are several woolen mills IN New
England looking for new locations; said that they
have fully decided to make the change, and telt
that the chances of locating one of them IN this
locality appeared favorable.
Mr. Bently seemed very favorably impressed
with this locality, and in his discussion in connec-
ton with the survey made here, brought Out
many things of value concerning "us" which we
who have always lived here, had never given
more than passing thought.
Whether or not anything comes from the local
Bently survey, we believe the small amount OF
money it cost. and the fact that we are under no
further obligation unless some concern locates
here was money we'll spent.

The Bently Survey

Bently concern, present. He was making
survey of the Twin Cities-gathering information
which he passes on to industries looking for a To-
cation for new firms those concerns for one
reason or another wanting to change their fac
tory sites. His talk and report sounded encourag
ing from the standpoint of obtaining some new
manufacturing business for this locality. He call
ed attention to many things here which would in
his estimation appeal with favor to manufactur-
ing companies wanting to change locations.
There has been a general movement for several
years of concerns from big cities locating in
smaller places. Among the principal reasons CIV
en- for the changes are labor trouble and high tax
rates in cities; and because of better and cheaper
living conditions for employees in smaller places

Homes
BY Grace Noll CroWelI

SO long as we have homes to
which men turn
At close of day,
So long as we have homes where
children are,
And women stay,
If love and loyalty and faith be
found
Across those stills,
A stricken nation can recover
from
It's gravest ills.
SO long as we have homes where
fires burn,
And there is bread;
SO long as we have homes where
lamps are lit
And prayers are said,
Although a people falter through
the dark,
And nations groupe,
With God, Himself, back Of these
little homes,
We have sure hope.

When the Hagerstown fire com
panies go speeding to fires nova
days under motor power, the mind
reverts to the horse and buggy
days when the fire apparatus was
taken to the fire by horse power.
And that has not been so many
years indeed, not out of
the recollection of many people
living in Hagerstown and the
county today.
Records show that the First
HagerstOWn Hose Co., was the
first to motorize and dispose of
the faithful horses, always ready
for their part when the fire bell
sounded. And did they know that
sound? No doubt you have seen
them begin prancing as soon as
the sound Of the gong reached
their ears - and they were al
ways ready to go.
One sad incident connecting it,
self with the horse-drawn fire
apparatus was the death Of two
of the most faithful fire horses
that ever pulled in harness. They
were John" and jim, of the
Antietam Fire Company The
firemen were answering an alarm
from Box %, at Locust Point.
During an electrical storm which
passed over the city, the Dancer
Lumber Company plant took fire.
At Potomac and Baltimore streets
the horses ran into loose, live
wires and were electrOcuted. The
driver, ]. H. BOmberger (still a
driver for the Antietams) escaped
unhurt.
The First Hose motorized about
1910 or 1911 and the other four
companies followed within the
next five years
The John" horse was bought
near Greencastle and Jim" at
Harrisonburg, Va.
Fires never lose their interest
with many persons and included
among such individuals is John
E. White, 125 King Street. While
Mr.. White is nearly a nonogenar-
ian, he is still remarkably active.
He has always been a very en-
thusiastic fireman, always ready,
as a member of the Junior Fire
Company No. 3, to render every
service possible in case of con-
flagration. AS he figuratively
puts it, he ''slep with his boots on"
Many have been the fires at which
he has rendered most valuable
service as a volunteer fireman
He very distinctly remembers the
