HOW KOIKY GAINED
IT'S FriESUX f NAME
In 1897 W F Schultz hi wife and
thre children drove up to thi vicinity
in spring wagon drawn by two
jK)uits and decided to locate At thi 8
time there was an average of about
one nun on every section of land ano
Mr Schultz decided that the country
was large enough and the opening
sufficient to -settle In a short time
he had erected a small building about
14 by 20 feet for a store The north
and south walls were built of stone
w hith he had hauled from some quar-
ries in Kiowa county and the east
and west ends were made of rough
lumber fitted close enough togcthei
to leep the coyotes from eating iq
the stock A ditt floor did the duty lo
quite a while and in fact it was con-
sidered qu:te an improvement in tin
community for some time
At this time the mail had to be
brought from Cordell but this didn’t
suit the old setters ami hey decided
that a post office was needed for the
citizens in this section At the start
Mr Schultz's children would ride up
twice a week and return with the mail
An application was then sent In to
Washington asking that they lie given
a post office and in this application
the name Rocky was given from the
material which the store was built of
and not from the physical feutures of
the country
Later when the railroad canu
through they decided thut the name
Rocky was not euphonious enough for
the flourishing village which hafl
sprung up over night and tried to
change tho name to something more
pleasing hut Uncle Sam decided that
the name Rocky was suitable enough
and refused to give the railroad per-
mission to make any change — Rocky

STATE MEDICAL
Since tU op-uln' o X the Hospital
more than four tuousanu ciuz-n u
the state have been cared for and
more than half of these have been un-
able to pay hospital expenses
A linuted number of ex-service men
are Leing cared for Two hundred anu
ftfty-one soldier have been cared flu
to January 1 1921 Major Prince oi
the United States Public Health Ser-
vice reports to the Public Health Ser-
cise: “Your attention is respectfully in-
ited to the State University Hospital
a being the one most suitable for this
purpose in the first place it is one oi
the seveuty-seven hospital selected
by the A H A as suitable for the in-
struction of students electing a f‘v
year course 1 was surprised with the
very high standards maintained P
was my privilege to witness a meat
being served this consisted of excel
lent food the linens were scrupulous
ly ikan the wards well ventilated
and not over crowded I was pleased
to see one of the most complete and
perfectly equipped laboratories foi
the conduct of all forms of technical
procedures"
No patient applying to the hospital
for treatment and needing immediate
treatment has ever been turned away
whether he had money or authority or
not On the contrary many patients
having serious conditions have been
placed in privute rooms and given a
special nurse at the expense of the
hospital
Hundreds of difficult laboratory
examinations are made every month
to aid in the diagnosis and treatment
of these people for which no charge It
made A perfectly equipped x-ray
laboratory is maintained the only
charge being the cost of materia
used Anesthetics are administered
under the supervision of a highlj
trained specialist and every interest
of patients is safeguarded in opera
flowed like water it is bleared eii oi
to eouteu plate the impending change
Hut what of the day? Our National
pulse has been sadly upset The an-
cient homely doctrines o fthrift ami
sane living have been relegated to the
rear Certain old-fashiuned persons at
various and sundry times in recent
years have urged that these he given
profound respect Their protestations
have been unheeded On with the
dance Let joy be unconfined The
world owes us not only a living bui
usuries Indulge while you may
Hut now! Cold facts have intruded
The fiddler must be paid He is a
cross mercenary unreasoning person
Nothing satisfies him but the cash
And the gay butterfliea who wasted
their substance when it was plentiful
are now finding that the dollar they so
despised and flung about so freely is
a prime necessity
One can be plain and blunt with
chastened butterfly There la just one
remedy for all this grief— and that is
thrift It is nothing more nor less than
a good habit It takes account of the
ittle things It does not necessarily
SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL
The University Hospital hak a ca-
pacity of one hundred and seventy-six
beds One hundred and fifty-one of
these are used for the care of people
who are unable to pay regular hospi-
tal expenses
Any citizen of the Btate not able to
pay a doctor bill Is admitted to thi
hospital under the provision of the
law Session Laws 1917 chapter 170

fifteen dollars per week is made for
such people which sum is paid by
county or municipal authority or by
anybody looking after the patient

tor's fee surgeon’s fee laboratory
fee nursing service or medication
These patients are cared for by spe-
cialists in the various departments of
the School of Medicine
For lack of isolation rooms conta-
gious diseases are not admitted be-
cause of the menace to other patients
active tuberculars cannot be admitted
to the wards and no tubercular wards
have as yet been provided by legislation

820 Charity medical cases during thi
same period which at twenty-five dol
lars each would amount to -41629
Total value of service $133500
BLESSED HE TIIE SAVER
This ts the title of an article on
“Thrift" that won first prize in
contest conducted by the Tenth Fed
eral Reserve Bank The editor of the
Eldorado (Kan) Times wrote it
The article follows
The Silk Shirt era In American his
tory has about passed The wild orgy
of high wages high prices and high
life is beginning to abate The Jas:
Jamboree is all but over The “cold
gray dawn of the morning after” Is
peeping in at the window’s and the
Arealization that there is actually to
be a tomorrow has penetrated the
public consciousness After the long
night wherein folly reigned sane
virtues were banished and money
iueau penny-pinching but it doe com-
pin s wholesonia regard for trifle
And H there ever was a need S
strict genuine old-fashioned savings
in all of its old-fashioned sense that
time is now end tje place is Kansas
in the United States of America
This truth cannot be too strongly
urged There are abundant indications
now that it will be heard whereas
one two three years ago ths voice of
canity was lost in the discords of the
jars orchestra For condition! have
changed Money is “tight" Many mar-
kets have broken The golden flood
has thinned to a trickling stream And
the dollar is slowly resuming its lost
estate
Many grown-ups are still obdurate
But they will come around And in
the meantime let the children know
of the blessings that regular savings
can invoke There ought to be room in
the curriculum i! every public school
for a course in thrift Many children
alas have no precepts and no example
at home But at school there is some
opportunity to inculcate the value of
savings And whatever la taught then
can he gives a definitely practical
turn
There is no excuse for any to waste
very opportunity has been given the
thrifty man woman or child The
hanks preach savings ia all of theii
advertising Their facilities are ever-
present Moreover the government
affords ideal advantages for the earn-
est saver Its Thrift Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates com-
prise a most convenient method for
odd dollar and cents to be safely in-
vested and become interest earners
They ar the only securities ever Is-
sued by the government that pos
seas a guaranteed value at all times
before they mature They may be re-
deemed at the post office at any time
the owner receiving in cash all that
he haa invested plus accrued interest
Any school boy or girl will find in
these a most gratifying method of
saving funds to meet tuition fees at
fixed intervals book purchases or
even the graduation expenses And if
allowed to accumulate they might be
com the substantial basia for a col-
lege and university education
It is eay to acquire information
concerning these securities If your
postmaster does not have a complete
supply of literature tt may U se-
cured from the Government Savings
Organization of the Tenth Federal Re-
serve District at Kansas City The big
point is that a benevolent government
offers an easy systematic plan ta
everyone for quarters to grow into
dollars and dollars into hundreds And
if the elders are somewhat dilatory
about getting a sound practical ev-
eryday savings scheme to working by
all means have the children do it For
someone must start And many schools
after now conducting their own sav-
ings banks operated by pupils under
government supervision
We are at the turning of the way
as a people We must get more money
into our Individual reserve Only by so
doing can general stability be secured
and normal conditions achieved It
means no less prosperity now and
greater prosperity for the future
For the man community or nation
that fails to husband resources is
without the vital element of success
