work faithfully, and at the same time
was hustling for something better. In
a short time, scarcely more than a
month, he had secured a clerkship in the
office of the superintendent of the
Northern Pacific Railroad. But this was
not the career that he wanted to follow.
In 1896, he obtained, after considerable
effort, his first real job—the position
of Principal Assistant Engineer with the
Lake Superior Power Company, at Sault
Ste. Marie.
It is possible that James Rickey did
not know much more about engineering
than the average bright young man who
has had good training in a first-rate
technical school—he does not admit that
he knew as much as that. However, the
important point is this; what he did not
actually know he more than made up
by strict application to work and hard
study at night. He “put it across.”
In 1897, Mr. Rickey went with the

Hospital Association Reopens
The Hospital Association was one year
old in July, and the opinion of its mem
bers is that it is well worth while. The
association was not formed for the pui’-
pose of making money, but as one in
ducement to the employees to go to the
hospital when they are sick, and in that
way receive better care and treatment
than they could otherwise.
If when a mother is sick she would go
to the hospital her needs would receive
immediate attention, she would have ab
solute rest and quiet, and be entirely
free from the worry and care of the
home and the family.
Perhaps the house and children wiH
not be kept as clean, but this will be
more than balanced by the permanent
benefit to the mother. In the case oi
the father or child, they will get much
better attention than at home, and with'
out putting a heavy burden on the wife>
who already has plenty to do.
To the single men and women, it af
fords a place to which they can go when
seriously sick, where they will not b®
a care and burden to their probably al
ready overworked landlady.
Some folks associate a hospital with
pain, sorrow, and death, while as a mat
ter of fact there is an atmosphere oi
cheerfulness, relief, and happiness about
the place that can only be appreciated
by a visit thereto.
Friday, August 27, from two to si^
p. m., has been designated as Visitors
Day, and we hope every man and womai'
in Badin who has not already visited the
hospital will do so then.
It was built for you, so you would be
assured of proper care and attention at
the time you need them most.
