HISTORY OF HOSPITAL FROM FILING OF PETITION TO ITS COMPLETION

Although sentiment existed in this community for a county hospital for many years. It did not •crystallze ful ly until early in 1920. It will be remembered that, several physicians endeavored to secure a county hospital here twenty years ago, but failed for the want of support. On March 2. 1920, n petition sign ed by the members of the Adams County Medical Association and about 1.200 other residents and taxpayers of Adams county, asking that a county hospital be erected on the site of the old fair grounds, was presented to the board 'of county commissioners. The petitioners also asked that the county be bonded for $100,000.00, the money to be used in building the hospital. It was also asked that the hospital be erected as a memorial to the soldiers, sailors and nurses and all those who served their country in the World War. The county commissioners acted favorably on the petition. A live acre tract of ground in the north part of the old fair grounds was donated by them as the, site for the hospital and owing to the amount of money involved the question was ordered placed before the voters of Adams county. On May 4. 1920 the voters of the county voted on the proposition. 2,948 votes being cast on the ques-| tion, 1,601 "Edr the Hospital.” ami 1,347 "Against the Hospital." giving those in favor of building it a majority of 264. The campaign in favor of the hospital was carried to a successful end by the members of the Adams Conn-' ty Medical association, advertise- ! ments being inserted in the papers showing the small cost to the taxpayer if the hospital was built, and other material was also Issued by the physicians favorable to the hospital. On account of unsettled building conditions no further steps were taken in the matter until January. 1921. On January 3, 1921. the county commissioners appointed the following trustees: A. J. Smith, Decatur; E. M. Ray, Berne; Mrs. Clara H. Anderson. Geneva; and Frank Heiman. Washington township. On January Bth the above trustees met at the office of A. J. Smith in this city and elected the following officers for the first year: A. J. Smith president; E. M. Ray, vice-president; Mrs. Clara H. Anderson secretary. The same offices are now he Id by the trustees. In May, 1921, Oscar Hoffman, local man. was employed as architect, to design and prepare the plans and specifications for the hospital. In December 1921, the $100,000.00

On January 30th, 1922 the state board of charities approved the tentative plans of Architect Oscar Hoffman and plans for the building of the i hospital progressed as rapidly as possible. Architect Hoffman drew plans for a three-story and basement building, containing 31 single bed rooms, three sun rooms at the south end of the building, one on each floor and a daylight operating room. On June 16. 1922, proposals from contractors were received and to the disappointment of the trustee and others intrested in the hospital, the bids exclusive of furnishing and equipment of the hospital, elveators, etc., totaled $98,775.00. It was estimated that the total cost of building the hospital would be between $120,000.00 and $125,000.00. ~ The trustees then asked the county council to appropriate an additional $25,000.00 so that the third story could be built. On June 26, 1922 the county council met and adopted a resolution appropriating an additional $25,000.00 for the building of the hospital. The general contract for the conI struction of the hospital was awardI cd to Charles Saunders, of Portland, on his bid of $81,560.00. The contract for the heating and plumbing and | electric wiring was also awarded on June 27th. On June 27, 1922, the site was stakI ed’ off and work on the construction I of the building commenced. The first gift of the furnishings for the bed rooms was received from the Pythian Sisters, followed by the gift of several other organizations and individuals. In June of this year the trustees made an appeal for the furnishings and nineteen gifts were received, tnirteen having been received previous to that time. On April 30, 1923, Miss Emilie C. Christ, experienced nurse, was appointed superintendent of the hospital. Other nurses appointed were: the Misses Rowena Shoaff. Naomi Butler and Irlene Franz. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Eckrote, of Linn Grove, will act as janitor and mistress of the kitchen respectively. The hospital, standing as a beautiful monument to those who served their country in the world war from the splendid people of Adams county will now be the mecca for the suffering and those who need medical i care.

* 1 When Honesty Pays 'Vy’cHARLESE.BAXTER ‘ (©, 1133, Wt«t»rn Nawavapar Union.) SKINNER, the pal of Larry the Blood, had fallen on evil days after bis friend's reformation. He, too, had tried running straight, for his experiences In the pen hud disgusted him with crime. But Skinner hud no trade, and it is a bard, cold word. Too proud to ask help from Larry, who was himself bard up, Skinner resorted to a low boarding house where thieves and fakers gathered nightly to compare notes and discuss the events of the day. As a result, Skinner tried a new lay. Armed with a pair of blue glasses, and a card on ids breast marked “Pity the Blind," he took up his post in the shopping district, cap in hand, hair neatly smoothed over his forehead, and awaited events. Unfortunately Skinner did not look bls part. Although the cops did not molest him, bls dully earnings brought him in only the barest means of subsistence. And the worst part of it was that Skinner really had some trouble with his eyes—a temporary inflammation, which made him feel in this role an honest man. And there was Bill the Bootleg, temporarily out of business as a result of police activities, with his wooden leg. and his real leg strapped up Inside his trousers, and doing a roaring trade of S2O and S3O a day as an exsoldier in distress. "Say, bo, this ain’t your lay!" sneered Bill the Bootleg, when Skinner had recounted his ill success. "You better git off the job and go back to the sneak-thief line. You gotta have brains for this kinda work!” Skinner retorted hotly, ami one word led to another, till at last Skinner brought forward his final argument in the shape of a biff on Bill’s nose. Then the landlord separated them, and Bill retired, nursing his nose and vowing vengeance. Next morning Skinner had forgotten, but Bill hadn’t—nor had the other inmates, who were in the joke. Skinner got up, groped him way through his dressing in his half-blind way, ate a good breakfast of hash, put on his spectacles and his placard, and groped his way into the street. Ah, yes, that placard! Planting himself down in the shopping district, Skinner found himself In receipt of custom almost immediately. ' A crowd gathered about him. All through the day, peering dimly out | into the blue haze that constitute! his world, he was aware of the interested scrutiny of little knots of people who kept gathering about him, apparently In high good humor. Skinner, who was of a philosophical bent of mind, failed to tinderstan 1 why he should be the object of so much Interest that day, but he smoothed back his hair, sat erect upon the sidewalk, cap in hand, occasionally uttering his whining lament: "Pity the blind. Pity the poor blind!” He soon discovered that each appeal of his was the signal for the gathering of another crowd and renewed merriment. An awful thought came to him. Did they suspect that he was faking? Was there anything about him that had given him away? He was glad when at last the time came to wend his way homeward. Arriving late at the boarding house. Skinner, without troubling to take oil his placard, thrust up Ids blue sper* taeles over his forehead, and took his seat at the table among the miscellaneous hoboes. His advent was greeted with roars j of laughter. Skinner glared about | him indignantly, trying to discover ' who was the leader in this claque. “Hey, can It!" he growled. “Can't a guy ent his eats without a lot of bums cackling at him?” "Haw, haw!" laughed Bill the Bootleg. "How did tilings go today, Skinner?” “Pretty good," answered Skinner. “Haw, haw! It sure does pay to advertise,” said Bill. “Whatcher mean?” growled Skinner. “Why, you jest look at that there placard," answered Bill., Skinner took off his placard and tried to rend it. Ami gradually the words stood out before Ids gaze: “FAKING BLIND DON’T HELP ME UNLESS YOU WANT TO.” "Haw, haw!” roared the crowd of hoboes. Skinner dipped into lijp pockets and pulled up handful after handful of coin. “Much obliged, Bill,” he said, caustically. “It sure does pay to advertise. I took in $59.50 today.” Was Well On His Way. It was Bill's first experience as a hotel porter and his initial night had ' been successful up to 5 o'clock in the morning. At that time he was instructed to call 1G and 3 by the night clerk as he looked over his call sheet. Bill responded quickly to the command and after some time the clerk went up to see if he had called the rooms designated. “Well,” responded the new porter with a dejected air, whom he found on the fifth floor, “I’ve got 1G of ’em up, but I haven't started on the other three yet." More Paint, but Less Agony. The old fashioned girl did not put on ns much paint as the modern one does, but we sometimes think she put on more agony—especially in the days of the wasp waist.—Cincinnati Enauirer.

They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery In the kidney region, sharp pains in the ba<k or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To help neutralize these irritating acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts frfom any pharmacy here.

July 30. —The burden of prohibition enforcement in Ohic has been set squarely on the shoulders ot local officials. Mayors thus far, have felt most keenly the effect of Governor Vic Donahey's policy of giving cities first responsibility in enforcing liquor laws. One city executive has lost his job as a result of insufficient vigilance against bootleggers; three have been given Donahey's proverbial “Clean-up-in-thirty-days-or-get-out,” and three others are under fire foe alleged laxity in the matter of prohibition. The pilgrimage of Ohio mayors to the governor's "executive carpet” has become almost a weekly affair. Mayor Herbert Vogt, of Massillon, was the first summond to the capital. He denied the charges, which had been filed with the governor by a “citizens’ committee,” and was sus--1 pended pending a public hearing, which resulted in his permanent re- [ moval. Vogt's case so heartened residents of oilier cities where gambling and bootlegging was was said to be "open and unchecked” that the governor’s ; office soon became the scene of daily conference between the chief executive and some committee of protesting citizens.

Mayor William F. Grail, of Lorain; N. E. Fair, of New Philadelphia, and George Mclntire, of San Toy, were each given the usual thirty days to clean up their respective cities and reports to the governor and to the office of tlie state prohibition commissioner show the clean-ups have been accomplished. Donahey's original plans indicated he would deal with equal severity with any other local officials who appeared lax in duty, but so far the governors activities have been confined to mayors. Trustees Meet Tuesday The regular monthly meeting of the township trustees will be held in the office of E. S. Christen, county superintendent, tomorrow morning. The date for the opening of school will be selected, it is said, and several other matters, pretaining to the coming school year, will be discussed.
