We believe it will be ydur pleasure, and as an evidence of your good business judgement to spend money in MAKING this road what it should be, and not have it said in a report of the Grand Jury that it could not visit the County Home because of he con dition of the roads. n n o W i if ETT3 HOWARD F.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1917 AN OBJECT LESSON The street from Dameron building to the Depot is an ob ject lesson is the. wise expendi ture of public funds. This splendid asphalt highway is a joy and necessity in this time of mire and bottomless roads and lad, bad streets. We are all proud of this stree, and hope we can add more "just as good" ach year. The thing to do, however, is to convert the cost of the street into forty year five per cent bonds and lower the taxes. , . - - SUPERIOR COURT Superior Court has been in session this week. Judge Oliver m -w t 11 "is : TT ' ' li. Alien presiQing; o.on. uar land Midyette looking after the State's interest. Judge Allen has sustained his reputation for impartiality, firmness and abil ity and therefore has held the Scales of Justice evenly balanc ed. This is not his first Court here, and our people are pleased that he comes among us again- Solicitor Midyette made his first appearance this week as the State's prosecuting officer and handled the business of the State with fidelity and ability. We were pleased to have him in Warren. OBJECT LESSON NO. 2 The Hotel and boarding house facilities were such in this town that many citizens had difficul ty in getting a place to spend the night while being detained in town by the bad weather dur ing Court week. Is it possible that just ONE MAN cannot be found who is willing to see to it that Warrenton has a good, modern hotel? if you knew the number of men who are going to Henderson, to Weldon or to Raleigh or other towns because Warrenton gave no inducement in the way of a modern hotel heated by steam, running water in each room and bath attached there would be more of an ef- fort to get a hotel here. We hope the same spirit is not now abroad that was in the forty years in which we sent tele grams to Warren Plains by "Mule-Back" rather than build three miles of telegraph line. GOOD ROADS The question of good roads looms in the public: eye in weath- ( er sucn as we cavo oeen navmg for the past ten days. The ground has frozen, then thawed and been cut up, then frozen again and has become impassa ble. The roads being cut up by the wheels of vehicles have be come, not roads ; but sloughs of despond. This condition does not apply to properly built roads upon which heavy wagons have been kept off ; conditions on such roads are no worse than expect ed. It is the road built with poor soil and used, by heavy teams and cut to pieces that is now almost impassable. Take the road towards the County Home. It was built of poor ma terial and has been cut to pieces before this snow and rain, and hy reference to the "Report of the Grand Jury" you will see that "A Committee was sent to the County Home and the Con vict! Camp,, and returned report ingf jtfie roads so bad that the trip" could hot be made;" and Our Staff of Reporters resid ing in different parts of the County are wide-a-wake and are , living us the news while it is ' news. We appreciate their ef 1 forts, and we believe their neigh bors do. The THE WARREN " Vxr L j or desire to be anything else. Our purpose is to make a News paper for the Warren county folks and their relatives and friends who are also "Warren county folks", but residing in distant States. THE VISITING RllRAL NURSE How the Experiment was Tried in an Alabama County Satis factory Results. In order to give a practical test to the value of a visiting nurse in rural communities, rep resentatives of the rural organi zation service of the department helped the people of Chilton Co., Ala., to organize for the purpose of appointing a visiting trained nurse and meet her salary and expenses. For this purpose the sum of $1,500 was raised, of which the county board approri ated $500, the school board $500, and private individuals $5 00. The services of a visiting nurse, certified by the National Red Cross Socjety, were secured at a salary of $960 per year and ac tual expenses. In the expenses were included the purchase of a horse and buggy and stabling and feed for the horse. In order to enable the county to appoint the nurse as a county officer, the nurse applied for and obtained a third-grade teacher's certificate, which enabled her to be appointed as assistant county superintendent of schools. To direct her work and disburse the money raised and appropriated, the following committee was ap pointed : The county health of ficer, county superintendent of schools, county agent for farm er's co-operative demonstration county head of the girl's can ning club wrork, and a local phy sician. The nurse has been actually engaged in her work now for more than one month. Her work has been as follows. . School visiting By degrees she is visiting every rural school in tne county, ana at tnese schools is making an inspection of pupils to detect signs of con tagious diseases and to discover defects in teeth, presence of ade noids, diseases of the eyes, or similar physical conditions call ing for medical attention.. Iri ad dition, she inspects the school grounds with special reference to sanitary appliances in their (relation to the spread of disease, She also lectures to the teachers and pupils on methods by which i diseases are carried or spread, giving particular attention to the fly as a carrier of typhoid, and the necessity for keeping water supplies and food unconr taminated. Mothers' meetings.- Wher ever opportunity is given, the nurse holds mothers' meets at which she talks and gives demon strations on care and feeding of infants, home and general hy- giene and sanitation, with spec- lal reference to sources of dis- eases and measures for prevent ing their spread. Sick nursing. In special cases where rural patients are danger ously ill, the nurse, at the re quest of doctors, visits the home and assists the physician in get ting the patient over the crisis. According to reports from the county, the work of the nurse is meeting with great favor on the part of the auhorities and the country residents News Letter National Department of Agricul ture.
