gifts. and many of them were gifts
which represented real sacrifice, and
a real answer to the call of the coun-
try. The many who gave almost more
than they could afford, is enough of a
rebuke to those who gave so much
less than they should. II was a call
from the wounded soldier, from the
tempted soldier, from the dependent
mother or wife or children left at
home, and few We're selfish enough in
the midst of their prosperity and COM
fort TO turn their backs upon those
calls. As has been so Well said be
fore, money is the cheapest thing
that we are going to be able to give
during this warfare
\ word must be said in appreciation
of the services of those who were re-
sponsible for this splendid result. Each
town and each township that wished
it was furnished a speaker at their
mass meetings. and these speakers
deserve much credit. Mr.. Van Fish

THE RED CROSS CAMPAIGN

The Rev, Paul Roberts, chairman of
the general committee having charge
of the campaign just over. in this
county, to raise the money needed as
our quota of the hundred million. has
the following to say in regard to the
work:
'Brookings County was to raise
$4,000 for the American Red Cross
last week. Already the report shows
that over $4,000 has been raised and
there Is more yet to come, for several
townships have not yet completed
their campaign. The people have re-
sponded and possibly the finest thing
about il all is that the response has
been practically unanimous. Nearly
everyone was seen by the teams and
nearly everyone gave something. 1t
was not by any means a case of a few
well-to-do folks giving it all. The
largest part of the sum was in small

back who has acted as cashier has
been doing little else for the past two
weeks than issue necessary instruct
ions. receive and count the money.
The team captains especially, have
been t~ireless in their effort and have
spared no time or trouble to see every
one in their assigned territories. The
success of the campaisn was largely
due to the splendid spirit these men
showed throughout the week, and the
community, and the whole county owe
them a debt of gratitude for giving
their time and themselves to the ser
vice OF their country and 50 effective
ly answering her call for help.
Finally the whole campaign has
shown that ~Brookinss county is ready
TO the man TO do her duty in the hour
of her country's need. The Stars and
Stripes Will never be lowered if ii de-
ponds upon the men and women Of
Bookings county to do their share"

HOSPITALS EXEMPT

The encouragement in reply to a
query from the state sheriff holds that
hospitals will have the right to ship
in from outside of the state, such al
coholic products as they require in
their work in such institutions. Under
the law druggists are compelled to So
cure their supplies from wholesale
houses within the state but such
houses can sell only to retail drug
gists, and by a strict construction Of
the law. the only way a hospital could
get a supply would be on "A physicians
subscription. 1t is held that a strict
construction of the law in this would
be a violation of the federal statutes,
and that a liberal construction will
allow hospitals, under regulations. to
ship in such alcoholic liquors as they
may require, making their purchases
outside of the state.
