She was so badly crippled tlflat it secemed impos- -sible for the spark of life to remain. Her spine was crooked, one of her feet was a “club” and she had a congenital dislocation of the hip. . She lived on day after day in t her mgother, who was also cg‘xppled' as S . paralysis. Her life was that of the crippled animal. No educa- tion and no amusements other than watching the slow march of the sunlight across the rough cabin wall. ; A doctor on a hunting trip through that _seclu_m stopped at the house one day to get water. He was invitéd in to rest and on seeing the child his professional instincts werc roused to such an extent that within a few weeks the 411tt1e girl was transferred to the State Hospital for Crippled Chlld}'en, St. Paul. a0 Here for the first time in her drab life she had companion- ship of other children. Here for the first time she had the ten-| der, knowing care of trained nurses whp knew just how to han-| . dle the bed-tired little body contorted into grotesque shapes. | She learned her alphabet, attended school classes in the| hospital and in-between received the best that the specialist doc-\1 tors could do for her, i In a few years her body began to assume normal shape. Then one day she took her first step without assistance. Ovey-} come with joy she cried. And so did the nurses at her pathetic; ecstacies. . 3 i Just a few months ago she was discharged from the hos-| pital. Her spine was straight, her foot was normal and her hip functioned “just like the other kids.” ‘ She went home to her mother and took charge of the house| and gave her crippled mother the rest she had never had since | her childhood. . | There are 225 children in Minnesota who need just the| care that this little cripple got at the State Hospital, but there is| no room for them. ! When Michael Dowling, Olivia banker and newspaperman, died the entire civilized world heaved a sigh of regret because| it had lost the companionship of 2 man who, though crippled in| body, overcame all his handicaps and became a leader among| men. 18 Threa Months _ oo 185 | he little frontier cabin with a result of infantilei Immediately following his death there rose a popular de-) mand for a memorial to his name. Knowing the intense love; he had for the crippled child it was decided to collect a fund of | $100,000 to construct an adequate addition to the state hos,m-‘i tal and name it for him. " | More than $25,000 was raised by the intimate friends of! Mr. Dowling. The Minnesota Editorial association, the Min-! nesota Bankers’ association and the Minnesota Elks have com- bined to raise the necessary $75,000 to construct this memorial. The state will maintain it after it is built, the doctor spe-! cialists, 30 of them, now giving their services to the crippled; children, will continue their work gratis, and all the crippled| children in the state will have an opportunity to receive the| “chance in life” that “Mike” Dowling was always asking for them. ) ' Subscription books open October 17. penny up will be accepted, “Help us to help them’ is the slogan._ pORE A 5 WILL SYSTEMATIZE POSTAL MOTOR SERVICE The Postoffice Department announces it will reorganize its motor transportation service. There are 271 cities in-which the department operates motor vehicles. To maintain this service| the department operates 3,600 such vehicles, requiring the em- ployment of over 5,000 surpervisory officials, mechanics, chauf-| feurs, etc., and expending $15,000,000 annually in operation| g%d up-keep. One of the items of expense is 25,000 tires a year. is service extends only to mail service within cities. Rural| carriers and contractors of star routes must operate their own motor vehicle. H This service is localized. Each postoffice having such| service has built it up as a separate unit. Some of the post- offices have splendid motor organizations and very efficient service, but the majority of them have inferior and wasteful methods. It is for the purpose of standardizing the service, both as to operation and handling of supplies, that the new Bu- reau of Motor Vehicle Transportation will be created by the Postoffice Department, | Anything from a gt i HUMAN LIFE FIRST The captain of a United States liner faces possible dis- missal because he failed to stop his vessel to aid three men adrift at sea in a small boat. He acknowledged the call for help by sending wireless message telling other ships of the difficulty: } F;or h’is own ship he said, “We have mails aboard and cannot stop.” In the captain’s defense it may be said that he assumed the small craft would be picked up promptly. Unfortunately that assumption proved false. The three men had drifted far out to sea before they were finally rescued. . Government mails are, of course, very important. Inter- ference with them is a grave offense and those entrusted with their transportation are under a solemn obligation. Yet older than any man-made laws or regulations governing the mails is the unwritten law of the sea which requires any able vessel to! go to the aid of a boat in distress. Human life is valued more highly than any other cargo ever carried on the seas, including the mails. | At Big Rapids, Michigan, Jus- He ~———0: Where is your wandering girl tonight? tice Dresscher rented a theatre and called a mass meeting of mothers. “read the riot act to them.” .

A. Sturges, Editor of the Republic of Beresford, S. D., prints the following editorial: ““The Republic has carried fc\r along time a series of messages in the form of advertisements, ordered and paid for by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). There is 2 notion on the part of many .that every- thing that a corporation does is of a selfish nature, and that there never is a vision of the people’s good. These messages have carried an entirely different tone, and we believe they are worth reading from . weekto Week, Thedata this week isvery interesting.” This recognition of the sincere effort which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has put forth through these advertisements to inform the public as'to its purposes, policies and ideals, is gratifying. In the 6piniun of the seven Directors of this organi- zation, the busincss of this Company should be, and is, an open book. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) .is an insti- tution performing an essential service in a highly specialized branch.of industry. This Company is owned by 21,188 individuals, not one of whom owns as much as 10 percent of the capital stock. The manage?nent of this Company centers about seven men, who constitute the Board of Directors. Each one is a specialist in ozne or more branches of the petroleum industry, and devotes all of his time to the business and affairs of this Company. Not one of the Directcrs has inherited his job; he has carned it. Individually, and collectively, the Board of Directors believes that the business in which this Company is engaged is so vital, so important to the com- mercial and domestic life of all the people of the eleven states it serves, that they havg caused to be published this series of advertisements, that the peoplcrpayknowhowthebusinessisbeingconducted. Further, the 25,000 men and women who make - up this organization are putting forth such cnthusiastic, painstaking efforts to do a good job for the Company, and in turn, for the people, that the Directors-arc glad to tell the public what is being done. ‘Through these advertisements they ar€ giving an account of their trusteeship to the people frequently, as they do to the stockholders annually. \ This is the .purposé cf this campaign of adver- tisements, on which the publisher of the Beresford Republic has seen fiz to comment favorably.
