funds FOR SOLDIERS
DONATIONS TO SOUTH DAKOTA
REGIMENT AGGREGATE
$4,000.

Camp Hagman, Redfield, July IA.
The Fourth regimental fund has
been started by two substantial do
nations and with a fourth i'm sight
Ii is expected that further donations
will be made to this fund shortly
from other sources. The fund was
started by S62.50 sent from Aber-
deem to the regimental adjutant. out
of which to purchase saddle for
Col. W. A. Hazel, the balance TO go
into the regimental fund. Another
donation of SIS to the same causes
was made by f. j. Mather. of Groton
To this was added a check for $100
from the -Warfield whole
sale house of Sioux City, la.
The business men of Redfield
started a fund to purchase a flag for
the regiment, but when it was found
that the regiment had storm colors
and two beautiful flags, an American
flag and a regimental flag. recently
purchased by the state, it was under
stood that this money would be sent
TO the regimental fund instead
Already between $4,000 and
for the several company funds. and
these are being added 10 out of the
receipts of the regimental canteen.
Upon the promotion of Capt. NJ
L. Shade to the grade of major,
Chaplain Guy T.. Squire was appoint
ed canteen officer, and several days
were spent in checking up and audit
ing the canteen accounts, commit
tee consisting of Capts Phelps of X.
Eneboe of Il, and Linstad of A com
panies being appointed for this pur-
pose.
The receipts of the canteen from
June % 10 July s. inclusive, were
$3,10629; disbursements, S2,602.07.
with net profit of $504.22. In ad-
dition to this there was a stock on
hand invoicing S215.42. leaving
S719.64 profit from the canteen.
The $50422 will be divided among
the several companies pro rata with
the number of men they have on
their rolls. this money going TO swell
their company funds.
1t is now practically certain that
the regiment will be entrained for
the border by Saturday or Sunday.
All details are being looked after
and as soon as all the regiment is
completely mustered and rosters are
made up properly and regularly ii
will be possible for the regiment to
be ready for moving twenty-four
hours after the orders are given.
Visitors are crowding into the camp
every day in order that they may bid
farewell TO the boys from home be
fore these boys leave on what may
be much longer and more eventful
journey than they now anticipate.
Many of the officers and men have
telegraphed for their wives or rela-
tives to come Immediately, for when
the order to entrain is given there
will be no time for visiting and hard
ly any for farewells. 1t is probable
that the regiment will leave over the
Northwestern through Huron and
possibly from there through Sioux
City. Omaha. Kansas City and to the
border.

UNCLE'S NEW PLANT. - OF 100
or more cities bidding for. the gov
eminent armor plate plant about half
of them are inland points. Others
are seaports only by courtesy. There
are a number of qualifications to be
taken into consideration in choosing
the site Of the armor plate plant
apart from it's location on naVigable
waters, but that is surely one impor-
tant one. Uncle Sam has just had
an illustration of the folly of putting
this future industry at the mercy of
the railroads.
Other things to be considered are
the proximity of the plant to fuel and
material and the feasibility of pro-
tecting it from attack by land and
sea. Doubtless many of the cities
bidding, and perhaps some that are
not, possess the qualifications reqUi-
site to a greater or lesser degree. The
thing to do, however, is to select the
one of all which possesses them in
the GREATEST degree. Politics
must be eschewed, of course. Offers
of donations Of land for site of the
plant, cash bonuses and other like
inducements should not even be con-
sidered. The United States govern
ment does not need to go a-begging.
The armor plate plant will be big
thing for some city, Of course.
If the city which gets it happens to
be the very best location for the
plant it is welcome to it's good for
tune, as far as we are concerned. If
not = why that's another story.
