Nothlnc'raisss our rath quicker and causes
us to grow warm under the collar than to see the
farmer caricatured as a "rube" with alfalfa chin
whiskers holding an anciont pitch fork and placid
)y chewing a stem of grass.
It's a libel on the best class of ' people in
America. The farmer never was a "rube" and is
farther from it to:day than over before. He has a
better home more money invested in his busi-
ness than halt the smart "'boobs" who try to mis-
represent him. Some of our heaviest depositors
and directors are farmers. They are men of
affairs. You can't fool them. They know a g od
bank when they see one.

JACK KNIFE ARTIST AT WORK
A number of business houses along
Douglas avenue bore evidence Wed-
nesday morning or the use of a jack
knife the night previous and It looked
very much as It the pller of said knife
wanted to gain entrance. That he was
a novice Is evident from the way ho
bungled the Job. None of the build-
ings were entered but the doors or
casings were whittled promlscously
in the vicinity of the locks! This
fellow whoever he may be Is on his
way to thc.-pon If he continues his
depredations. He'll be apprehended.
He'd better change his plan and "cut
It out" instead of trying to "cut in."

From all these millions of suffer-

Another hundred million Is needed

MISS NAOMI NILKS
WILL im A NURSE
Miss Naomi Ntles left the past
week for Pueblo Colorado where she
will Join Mrs. Dr. Mary Twyford and
will enter a hospital of that city to
take nurse's training. We under-
stand that it Is the Intention of Miss
Naomi to offer her nervlces as a Red
Cross nurse just as noon as she can
fit herself for that great service. She
has two brothers and (another Sam-
mle) in the service ot Uncle Bam and
Miss Naomi feels that she too must
fit herself for service Her action Is
most commendable and a worthy
thing to do. Other young women
who aro free would do well to follow
her lead. So far as we have been
able to learn Miss Naomi is the first
young woman to go from Beaver
county and if she completes lior
training and takes up tho Red Cross
nursing certainly sho is rendering a
great service to her country as is tho
young man who goes to the trenches.
The well wishes of a legion of friends
goes with Miss Naomi. Sho is ca-
pable of making good and wo believe
that sho will.

MRU. TWYFORD WRITEH
Pueblo April 25 1918
pear Miss Thomas:
Wo havo heard a groat deal
of
propaganda lately and ono ot the
choicest morsels seems to be discour-
aging girls to tako up tho profession
ot nursing. This Is espsclally preval-
ent in rural districts and It Is to the
effect that nurses are necessarily im-
moral. Taking-up the profession of nurs-
ing now Isajust as patriotic as join-
ing the army or navy and the life
is certainly 'one of sacrifice
If you will look out for that line
of talk -in Reaver county I'm sure
you'll be doing a great service for
our wounded soldiers and 'sailors.
I am surely glad to see the Boaver
county chapter doing so nicely.
With best wlshos I am
Sincerely yours
MARY D. TWYFORD.
