Interesting Meeting
iTypvTf *rtv,,r~ \
God ) Report Made of Firsjt Year's
Work aiti) All Enthusiastic.
• ' & very interesting regular
meeting _ of „tl|e Young Mea's
Business League was held in.the
wrirhouse last Friday night,;
A number of things of Inter-
est to the Welfare of our cityand
community were discussed and
iheRgaairtg interest in the League
work ytas quite visible. "
judge J. Wo Burton made a
rip-roaring, "skinning" talk, as
he called it, to wake up^the
"sleepy'' members, and at his
suggestion a committee of five,
.with Ben S^nich as chairman,
was appointed, to be known as
an entertainment committee,
whose duty it will be to provide
some kind of amusement at
future meetings, etc, This idea
is very well, but we hope the
membersnip will not get to the
point where it. will take more
than a sense of duty to get them
to come out.
--President J. M. Mabe also
made a timely talk reviewing
the work of the League anu
urged a renewal of interest, es-
pecially urging a large turnout
at the : meeting Friday night,
March -...1st, when the annual
election of League^oljcers is to
take place. -<
Secretary W. * R. Lotspiech
"read a report showing the work
"of the League for the past year,
which we give as follows:
"As the first year of the Young
Men's Business League closes
with this meeting I think it ap-
propriate to.briefly review some
of the work accomplished by this
organization. An active antMg-
gressive campaign . was wa^ed
for the location of c-the West
Texas A. & M. Gollege. In; this-
Hil
matter we were unsuccessful bui
at the same time we gained much
publicity that no doubt benefited
us to a great extent. A- success-
ful "Clean-Up" day was held
under the direction of this organ-
ization and we also held five
successful Trades Day celebra-
tions. We brought the matter of
incorporating Crosbyton before
the people in such a, manner that
the "election for incorporation
carried with only four dissenting
votes. We were instrumental in
placing a Crosby county Agricu] ■
itural Exhibit at the Dallas Fair,
'whichr^carried - away the-40th
premium for county exhibits,
also gaining more publicity, as
there was a pamphlet distributed

of this exhibit and pamphlet. We

Mr. and Mrs. L. 0. Cox are

doubt that ivhen this work is
completed that Crosby county
will have the largest per cent of
the .boys I and girlswithin the
clttb age in 'these clubs, of any
county in the state. This certain-
ly speaks well for our boys and

who are willing to assist their

' . NURSING SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
The Bureau of Nursing Service opens wide the dear to a professional
career full of aaliafsct.ioia and <listMi€tion. The number of. registered trained
nurses in this country ie barely adequate in times of peace, and there is
every indication that tho dSmaad for eaperieaeod nurses v/ill ^pntintte' for.

womea in great numbers be enrolled iB this! aesVice. Our schools of nursing,,
our civil hoepitala are to women wh t the U-aining camps, are to officers and
men. Hundreds of hureeo have already been drafted. The supply will be
utterly inadequate unleso qualified women rally in large numbers to ihis call
of duty.
The 'Surgeon-General of the United States Army has.^tated that 40,00,0
trained Red Cross nurses will be needed to minister'to our army before
another year has passed. Thf- WJar, Department and the Red Cross therefore
call upon the womanhood of America to enter at once upon a course of
training. The emergency is-'so jyreat that the training course has been
reduced from three years to two, and the age limit for -Red Cross service
which formerly ranged between the ages of 25 to 40 has now been extended
to embrace all between the ages of 18 and 46. Excellent training courses^ are
available at all the large hospitals throughout the country.
Nursing education not only prepares | hospitals and schools of nursing must
for a large variety of professional
fields, but is an e^cgllent preparation
Cor home and family life and for pub-
lic service in many ways,
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.
Life in most schools is healtrhy,
wholesome, simple and regular, ft is
full of vivid human interest, the stu-
dent sharing in deepest realities of
life. ■*- -r
' Tho graduate of a good school steps
at once into regular professional life
and wotk with an assured'livelihood.

if she successfully completes her train-
ing.
The student is at no expense for
tuition, board, lodging, laundry, uni-
form, etc., in the great majority of-
schools. Only a few schools charge a
tuition fee for preparatory course. The
student is also cared for illness.
Salaries compare favorably with sal-
aries of other trained w.ome.n,. .Tn some
fields they are higher., than the aver-
age. Especially is this true* of teach-
ing and administrative work either in
institutions or in public health nurs-
Xq MI the f armers: _
I have a. list of a^number of
farmers in this county , who have
planting seed for sale. J It is de-
cidedly better to plant home
grown seed if possible. If you are
in need of any kind of planting
seed, see me and I will be glad
to give you the names of those
who have these seed for sale. If
you are going to have to buy;, it
will be wise to do so at.once, as
the"supply is limited. Let every
farmer who may have a surplus

J , Our schools of nursing, our civil hos-
pitals, are to women what the training
camps are to ofriqere and men. Hun-
dreds of nursire have already heen
drafted. The supply will he utterly
inadequate unless our qualified worti
en rally in large numbers to this call
of dy$v. Enroll aa a student and be
gin your preparation to meet your
country's need for large numbers of
highly trained nurses—not only for-
war service under the .American Red
Cross, but also for peace, service of
the greatest importance.
Hospitals and schools of nursing
need HiLtimpie siudeat .xmxsing su'v

principled. capable and devoted young
women who are in training to becomo
expert, skilled, competent nurses.- All
select from these their superintend-
ents and assistants, supervisors or
head nurses and principals, instructors
and lecturers.
Public health nursing needs in large
numbers well-qualified nurses for the
following well-defined fields of vvo.k:
Bedside care* of the -sick in their
homes, care of babies and prenatal in-
struction of mothers, supervision uf
hoalth of school children, instruction
and care ol' tuberculous patients in
their homes, n*ursing and welfare work-
in industrial plants, mental hygiene
work, hospital social service.
In all the^e fields there is pn in-
creasing demand for adminisU ators,

call for women of superior ability and
high educational qualifications.
General conditions for admission
are: (a) Those personal qualities re-

for others; (h) graduation from good
