Howard Democrat: A good many
towns the size of Howard owe the
state have built, or are contemplating
building hospitals. Most of our sick
people are obliged to take a long,
tiresome railway journey, endanger-
ing their life. to reach a hospital
where they car receive proper care
and attention. The money that is
spent by Miner county people in the
hospitals at Sioux City, Sioux Falls,
Madison and Heron Lake would go a
long way toward building and equip
ping an up to date hospital right
here in Howard. We have as good
physicians and surgeons as car be
found anywhere and all they lack
when they have a serious case is a
proper and sanitary place to care for
their patients.
