The special feature films which
the Mascot Theatre has been
putting on usually on Friday
nights have become to be very
popular among the people of the
city, and every week much interest
is taken III anticipation of the
good things reserved for Friday
night. 1t may be a source of in
formation to the people of Mo
bridge to know that this city has
one Of the most tO-date and
best managed moving picture sho rs
in the northwest. There are only
two or three other moving picture
shows in South Dakota with a
daily change of program. In most
Of the larger places only two or
three changes are made each week,
but Messrs. Stacy and Truax are
convinced that the best service is
none too good for Mobridge and
have always maintained that stand
ard. In addition To furnishing
tie best pictures on the market,
they employ good music for their
patrons. The result is that the
people Of the city have a place
where they can while away an hour
very pleasantly during the long
evenings, and their appreciation is
manifested in the excellent patron
age always given the theatre.

avenue and the Pennsylvania station.
Henpstead is one of the oldest communi-
ties on Long Island. and as result OF
the greatly improved railroad service
the population has rapidly increased In
the heretofore sparsely settled area OF
the plains just south OF Hempstead VII
lage and yet within It's boundaries.
At the outbreak of the Spanish Aneri-
can War the major number OF the voliln-
teer regiments of the United States army
we're camped at Camp Black. on the
Hampstead Plains. 1t was known as Tent
City. Since that time vast number
OF homeseekers have pitched their per-
rnanent homes there; and, II rendezvous
for a large army near New York city
was again required. It is doubtful II the
ne,shborhood of Hampstead would be
suitable for the purpose, so rapid has
been the influx Of newcomers TO this part
OF Nassau County. Further evidence OF
the growth Of Hempstead is furnished by
the erection OF a large new railroad sta
ton and the recent completion Of one OF
the finest suburban public schools In the
country within its borders, along with
facilities for manual training. One OF
the largest publishing houses In the
United States has erected its principal
publishing plant near the heart of Hemp-
stead since the railroad was electrified
The result Of II was an overwhelming
demand for medium priced homes, to-
gether with an exemplincation Of the va
rious advantages Of tho Hampstead Plains
section.
