HAPPENINGS IN OUR NEIGHBORING VILLAGES

FOUR CORNERS George Myers of Kankakee township is moving to the Henry farm in east Walker. Ed Lambert is moving in and will farm with his father-in-law, Mr. Minor, on the Barnard land this season. Trustee R. E. Davis and wife and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Elmer Davis, went to Rensselaer on business Wednesday. The school at Tefft is passing through what some call German measles, while others call it Liberty measles, and are trying to get it out of their systems. George Gore has offered to donate to the Red Cross SIOO if anyone will furnish him evidence that will convict the person or persons who poisoned his dog. Ernest Asher and Gland Minor loaded their cars Monday and started for Montana. Their families will follow in about thirty days. May good luck follow them all the way. Strange how the death of a dog will cause the bridging over of enmity of years of standing and cause neighbors to mingle tears of sympathy over the remains of a common dog—but such is life. A number of the Wheatfield boys who are in class 1-A made a trip to' Laporte the latter part of last week to have a few of the boys who had been re-classed and placed in classes 3 and 4 put back where they belonged. The people of Kankakee township have waited patiently for a county report as to the number and amount paid in the Xmas drive for Red Cross members, but so far have waited in vain. Will say, that so far as Kankakee township is concerned, there were 107 members signed with a total of sllß paid, eleven of whom are entitled to the Red Cross magazine. D. W. Myers, who has purchased the J. T. Biggs farm near Wheatfield, will hold a big public sale March 19. iHe has some good cows, horses and hogs to sell. As he has been farming rather heavy and his son is or soon will be working for Uncle Sam, Mr. Myers concluded to purchase a smaller farm and sell 'off his surjlus stock to meet his present < legations. George Stalbaum, who started with his goods to Nebraska, met with quite a serious accident near Kankakee, Illinois, while riding in the open doorway on the traiTT* The cars were jammed and he struck the edge of the car door, cutting a deep gash in his face and bruising him, but not seriously. He was taken to Kankakee by the trainmen and his wounds dressed, after which he continued his journey to his new home. MILROY Mrs. Will Fisher was in Wolcott Monday.

They have a good sized job of sawing on hand at that place. Mr. Carlock of Illinois arrived here the latter part of the. week with his household goods and moved onto the Spang farm, vacated by Emberson Smith, who moved back to Georgetown, Illinois. The farmers that have corn to husk, and of whom there are a good many, are doubling their ambition to get it out of the fields. The time for sowing oats is not very far off now, so it behooves them to get busy. Signs of spring are being observed daily. A flock of wild geese was seen flying over a few days ago, and the prairie chicken has wakened up and is heard of mornings with the boo, hoo, hoo, in the distant fields. W. S. McConnell was burning brush in the timber where his men were cutting cord wood one day last week when the wind carried the fire over the road and into his hay field. He summoned several fire fighters, but the blaze beat them and burned a big stack of hay, entailing a loss of about $125. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, ss. Frank J.

TRUCK ROUTES ESTABLISHED

Motor Cars Will Carry Freight to Many Indiana Cities. Indianapolis, February 28. —Motor trucks to ply over twenty routes, carrying goods from wholesalers to retailers in seventeen terminal cities within a radius of fifty miles of Indianapolis, will be placed in operation on April 15, according to plans of the Inter-communities Transfers Terminal company, which was incorporated late Monday with a capltal stock of $50,000. The directors are E. E. Kelsey, J. T. Elliott, O. BL Ent, J. G. Marshall and H. J. lAlsop, all of Indianapolis. Mr. Kelsey said the terminal cities !on the routes radiating from Indianapolis are Cambridge City, Rudhville (two routes), Greensburg, Columbus, Nashville, Bloomington, Gosport, Brazil, Greencastle, Bainbridge, Crawfordsville (two routes), Frankfort, Tipton (two routes), Elwood, Kokomo, Anderson and Newcastle. It is planned to have the trucks come to Indianapolis in the forenoons and make deliveries in the terminal cities in the afternoons. In this manner orders given the operators in the forenoon or telephoned in to Indianapolis will be delivered in the afternoon. The trucks will be owned and operated by men living in the terminal cities. They will remain in terminal cities over night. Mr. Kelsey said that the automobile truck routes will sfirve 950 groceries, 325 confectioners and an equal number of retail meat markets. Only goods from wholesalers to retailers will be handled and the cash and carry plan will be followed. Wholesalers will receive the cash for their goods from the truck owners, who will collect from the retailers on delivery. This, Mr. Kelsey points out, will be in line with the company’s plan to eliminate unnecessary handling of goods and of bookkeeping. Ten men were sent to Chicago today to drive the first ten trucks overland to Indianapolis. All will be of a standard one-and-one-half-ton capacity. Twenty-four trucks have been ordered and delivery of the other trucks will be made later. It is planned to place twenty in operation and a few auxiliary trucks will be kept at Indianapolis to insure maintenance of schedule, should a truck in a terminal be out of commission.

WAR DEMANDS TRAINING OF MORE NURSE

Thousands of Young Women Are Needed to Fill Ranks of Nurses In Red Cross Service Thousands of patriotic young women throughout the country are looking for ways in which they can serve the government at the present time. . The Bureau of Nursing of the Lake Division. American Red Cross, Cleveland, points out that there is no form of service open to women more greatly needed than that rendered by the nurses of the country. The Red Croes Nursing Service — for which most registered nurses are eligible—constitutes the reserve for the army and the navy nurse corps. It is calling for many hundreds of highly qualified nurses for service abroad in our own hospitals and those of lour allies. It is also calling many hundreds for service in the base hospitals in our cantonments. “We have,” says Miss Roberts, “nurses enough to meet our present need, but in order to maintain our health standards at home during and after the war and to continue to care for our armies many more must be trained. “The need for skilled nurses during the next few years will be the greatest the world has ever known and the number of students in the spring classes now being enrolled in the schools for nurses throughout the country should be limited only by the teaching facilities of the schools and by the clinical facilities of the hospitals with which they are connected." The committee on nursing of the general medical board of the Council of National Defense has encouraged those hospitals possessing sufficient clinical material to increase their faculties for the thorough training of nurses and in many instances this has been done. Following are some of the advantage* in nursing education and some

points a young woman should aider in selecting a training school: 1 Nursing education not only prepares for a large variety of professional fields, but is an excellent preparation for home and family life and for public service In many ways. 2 Almost upon enrollment the student begins her service to the community in helping to care for the sick, as a part of her instruction and training. 3 Life in most schools is healthy, wholesome, simple and regular. It is full of vivid human interest, the student sharing in deepest realities of life. 4 The graduate of a good school steps at once into regular professional life and work with an assured livelihood. No weary struggle to get a foothold I—to 1 —to show what she can do. The hospital has carried her over that stage. Her work is ready and waiting for her if she successfully completes her training.

5 The student Is at no expense for tuition, board, lodging, laundry, uniform, etc., in the great majority of schools. Only a few schools charge a tuition fee, for preparatory course. The student is also cared for In Illness. 6 Salaries compare favorably with salaries of other trained women. In some fields they are higher than the average. Especially is this true of teaching and administrative work either in institutions or in Public Health Nursing. Opportunities for advancement are many and steadily increasing.
