MUCH CHARITY. WORK
BY VARIOUS. ORDERS

This Christmas season more, per-
haps than any other in the history of
the city, has been marked by
thoughtfulness for others and will
lingness to give time and money to
bring cheer to those less fortunate.
The Dorcas society, as it's name
implies, is always on the alert to re-
lieve distress and is especially active
at Christmas. On Monday this So
ciety met with Mrs. F. L. Roquette,
to fill bags with goodies and to make
bundles. On Tuesday a committee
made up of Mesdames F. L. Roquette
L. H. Rudiselle and R. S. Davidson,
delivered the numerous packages.
They cared for six families, including
thirty little children.
The P. E. o. ladies have been busy
gathering among their number gifts
to supply the needs and brighten the
homes of several families. On Tues
day a committee composed of Mes
DANES B. H. Crawford, E. A. Lilli-
bridge and w. N. Poor, with several
other members Of the Chapter met
at the home of the president, Mrs. M.
L. Ayers, and made up generous gifts
for four families. Their list included
eighteen children, who are assured a
Merry Christmas.
The Commandery of the Masonic
order and the Elks are again doing
their noble work of caring for the
needy. Special committees have been
busy gathering funds, buying sup
plies, looking up those whom they can
best serve and distributing their
Christmas offerings. The committee
from the Commandery is made up of
Attorney T. H. Pugh, Max Hendrick,
and P. H. Rundle. The middle of the
week they had ten families in charge
and more to look after. The COM
mittee from the Elk lodge consisted
Of Duncan Mckenzie, w. G. Ray and
DR.. o. C. Maerklein. They have
cared for II families in truly Elk
style. The generous spirit of these
organizations has long been known
and as result of their noble efforts
many a home will be frightened and
many heart will be made lighter.
Both of these lodges work with the
women's societies, sending coal etc.,
where needed.
The Congregational Sunday school
has joined the ranks of those who are
remembering others rather than buy
| ing for themselves Or giving to each
other. On Thursday afternoon
around prettily decorated Christmas
trees and under the motto "White
Gifts for the King" the children
sang their carols but the fruit the
tree bore was a white stocking from
each class, containing the silver Of
ferings of each member for charitable
work.. Mesdames Jefferies, Kennedy
and Balsley have this relief work in
charge.

GOING TO FLORIDA

e. M. Roddle recently sold his farm
near Bailey to v. E. Nichols at $25
per acre. Mr.. Roddle had an auction
in the fall and sold his household
goods, live stock and farm implements
to good advantage, and expects to go
to Florida within a short time to oc-
cupy his 40-acre tract of land there.
Mrs. Roddle, now visiting in Wiscon-
sin, is in poor health and it is hoped
the change of climate will do her
good
Mr.. Roddle came to this country
eight years ago and has no complaint
to make. He has been prospered in
Dunn county.
Mr.. Roddle was in Taylor last Sat-
urday settling up some business mat
ters and went to Beach in the even
ing to visit for few days.

HOW HALLIDAY
WAS NAMED

Nate Halliday, who operates the
sIeo. Burgess horse ranch four miles
rseowA the river from Medora, was in
Dickinson on Monday and Tuesday
to get dental work done. He has a
homestead further down the river,
near the H. C. Short ranch.
The Halliday family formerly re-
sided in Stark county, coming here
about 1896, residing in the vicinity
of Taylor and Gladstone for several
years. They had been in Montana,
went east and finally landed in west
ern North Dakota. About the year
1900 Nate Halliday, Sr., moved to
Dunn county, then unorganized terri
tory, settling by a big spring on
Squaw trail leading to the Elbowoods
country. Subsequently the Halliday
postoffice was established at the
ranch home, later a store, and when
the steel rails went through Dunn
county last summer the town of Hal
liday moved two miles south to the
railroad. The man for whom Halli-
day was named moved to California
about the year 1908, and probably
little thought at the time that the
railroad would ever build so near his
old stock ranch.
Nate Halliday, Jr., has not visited
the old home place in Dunn county for
six or seven years, but he has noted
with considerable interest the rapid
development out that way and hopes
to get out to the new road another
summer.

BELGIAN RELIEF

1t will be of deep interest to the
citizens of Dickinson and vicinity to
know to what extent the people of
the United States have contributed to
the relief of the suffering Belgians.
The Commercial Club Of Dickinson
has just received from two sources
only, what has already gone for these
sufferers.
The American Committee of New
York, and which includes the cooper
alton of the Rockefeller Foundation,
sends word that already 80 million
pounds of food have left these shores
for Belgium, all of which will reach
the sufferers before the end of 1914.
The Millers Relief Fund, through
sent, shipping from Philadelphia,
have up to this writing secured 289
thousand sacks, or seventy thousand
barrels of -four, worth $350,000, all
of which was secured within forty
days.
Besides these shipping ports, the
following will ship their consign-
ments, viz: Baltimore, Norfolk, New
Orleans, Portland, Seattle and San
Francisco, each port Of which will
doubtless send at least one shipload.
With all this help, it might seem
that the United States was over gen.
crous, but when we consider the fact
that the Belgians need 10000 tons
of food each month and until the war
ceases, it means that whilst we have
been contributing most literally, that
it will mean many more shiploads be-
fore ultimate sufficiency is reached.
While the good givers of Dickinson
are. celebrating the glad Christmas
season, it will add mite of joy to
their otherwise full cup of blessings
to know that they too have not been
unmindful Of the injunction 'Inas-
much as ye did it unto the least Of
these my brethren We did it unto me" !"
