from the French army arrives al
"Mother" every day. In the winter
when the ''poilus" have extra articles
of clothing an average of forty-fiv.
cars comes from the front.
Within one week after the arrival
81 each car load, absolutely every gar
ment that it is possible to mend and
send back to the front practically new
has been taken care of, while every
ounce of material saved from gar
Iuents and shoes that could not be re-
paired, has been utilized in making III
new garments and new shoes.
Here are few Of the things that
Mother" does. When car load OF
shoes that have been picked up on the
field of battle or cast aside by the SOL
der arrives, they are first sorted and
then disinfected. II a shoe is not
worth repairing, the uppers are cut
off, wooden soles nailed on and they
become at once the most practical
kind of trench shoe. OF the few bits
or old leather that alone remain from
a carload of shoes, buttons are made
for the clothing Of war prisoners.
All army coats and trousers go
through this restoration. If it is not
possible to save the whole garment,
every piece of cloth that is still good
is cut out and saved. From these mil
lions Of pieces of cloth new garments
are cut out and made up.
Naturally, when these garments
come back from the front their origi-
nal "horizon blue" color has suffered
various degrees of fading and modif-
cation From the millions of indivi-
dual pieces of cloth saved from these
color experts match out everything
that has been reduced to the same
shade so that the new coat, or the new
jacket that may be made out of dozen
old coats and jackets, will have pre-
cisely the same color as though made
.
from the same piece of cloth.
French Are Particular.
French "poilus" are as fastidious
about their dressing at the front as
Partisan dandy on the boulevards, and
any "Joseph's coat of many colors"
that might be sent back to them by
Mother" would certainly cause trou-
BILE.
OF the little scraps of cloth that re-
main after an old garment has been
cut up, there are made sort of wool
en- moccasin, cloth covers for can
teens, the colored letters and numbers
of regiments that the soldier wears
on his collar, chevrons, ETC., etc.
When socks cannot be darned the
upper portions which are still good
are unraveled and the wooden thread
used in knitting mittens and muftlers.
One of the regular articles Of the
"poilus' winter wardrobe at the front
is an ordinary sleeps skin which he
80. 49, ! -
putt, puts ever. his regular clothing very
much like chauffeur's driving jacket.
These, too, come back to Mother" for
repairs. The masterpiece Of which
Mother" is the prouduct Is a Sleeps!
skin made out of 227 scraps Of other
sleeps skins.
Dozens of other things such as the
helmets, the forage caps, the canteens
and in fact all of soldiers outfit ex-
cept his arms pass through Mothers"
hands. The saving in enormous.
French military men who have a
great admiration and respect for
Americas genius for organization
are looking forward with keen antici-
patton to the Mother" that will have
to be erected in France for the well
fare of the American army.

A JUST DECISION

Whatever the conclusions and rulings of the Supreme
Court in the Hunt Campbell involving the title to the
governorshp Of Arizona, the decision is emnenty
straight and fair, and based upon the law.
The whole issue was whether there should be count
ed certain ballots that had been marked for the straight
democratic ticket and then crossed and marked for
Campbell. That was in fact voting for the two
nominees.
The law says that where ballot is marked for both
candidates. that ballot shall be thrown out and counted
for And the Supreme Court in following the
law threw out all such ballots.
with that rule applied Hunt given majority
of 43.

DICKINSON Is RUMOR
Fire Which Destroyed Interior Of Old
Opera House This Week Caused
Loss of $4,000.

Dickinson, N. 3D., Aug. 25.-7The
's7, 900 fire in the interior of the Dick
insoni opera house this week has led
to rumors, of a new amusement
house for the city, on Sims street,
one block west Of the damaged
house.
However, H. L. Reichert. owner of
the Dickinson opera house, stated
that he will start at once repairing
damages and in doing so will modern
lie the interior of his playhouse.
The fire was confined entirely to
the interior, Manager Reichert's loss
amounting to possibly $1,000. or So
600, fully covered by insurance. Louis
Lehman, manager Of the opera house
orchestra, lost 500 Baby Grand
piano and other property. in the fire
and had no insurance.
1t is believed that the fire was
caused during a high wind from a
spark from a rubbish can in the
rear of the building The fire was
principally in the dressing rooms and
the stage of the building.
