The Mobridge news. [volume] (Mobridge, Walworth Co., S.D.) 190?-1917, 1917-02-22

by III representations as to what
the Democrat will bring to Mo-
bridge in the way of a plant!
Is it not true or not that the
Democrat would have gladly sold
out at 1000 before this propo-
sition of moving here came up!
Is it true that the plant will
not invoice above s., 900 at a most
liberal estimate!
Is it not true that representa-.
tiOns have been made that the
plant is worth $4,000 and that
it will be incorporated for $25, ,O0O7
Is it not true that the Democrat
employs but six or seven people
in it's entire establishment at
Aberdeen, several of whom are
young girls and boys!
Is it not true representations
have been made that the plant will
bring fifteen new families into
Mobridge!
In fact, to sum the whole thing
up, is it not true that the Democrat
wishes to come to Mobridge simply
because it feels itself slipping to
the wall in Aberdeen and is en-.
deavoring to save itself by grasp
ing at the straw held out by an
ambitious politician as a last re-
sort!
Statements were made to the
people of this city that the Demo.
crat was going to buy up both
local papers anu consolidate them
into one big paper. This appealed
to many as fine thing. But,
both local papers have announced
that they will not sell to the
Democrat.
But, Morrison says, I'VE want
a live paper here"
Very we'll. Here it is.
The Mobridge' News has been
purchased by w. E. Woolf, his

still he gives many little sidelights on

be of general interest. He says:

Red Cross Notes
NEW YEARS GREETINGS
FROM CHAIRMAN NEIDIG
TO RED CROSS WORKERS

The executive board of the Moscow
chapter extend to the Moscow chapter
of the American Red Cross, its branch
es and auxiliaries, the best wishes for
the coming New Year. May we be
inspired with the same loyalty and
zeal that has characterized our efforts
of the past year.
Likewise, the executive board ex-
presses the chapters appreciation to
the citizens of the county for their
loyal support of the past Red Cross
war drive and the recent membership
drive. The chapter reposes full con-
fidence that the coming year will see
continued expansion, until all loyal
citizens of Latah county will be en-
rolled in the ranks of the American
Red Cross, doing their best in sup
porting the allied armies and allevlat-
ing the suffering of humanity.
RAY E. MEDIC,
Chairman, Moscow Chapter Red Cross.
Moscow's women workers for the
Red Cross are now pretty well es-
tablished on the second floor of the
federal building They will utilize the
corridor, the court room outside the
railing and one of the smaller rooms.
This gives them abundant room and
good place in which to work. The NOV
ing from the old quarters to the new
was greatly expedited by some 70
high school boys who jumped in and
rendered good service. The women
are deeply grateful to all who assist
ed them in making the change.
Tim Driscoll of Genesee is the first
one to turn in final report OF his
territory in the Red Cross member

members. Mr.. Ware of Big Bear Ridge !
has reported no.

are provided free Of charge. Stamps

three nights a week Some of these
entertainments are worthy of mention
such as those given by the Orphan S

headquarters at Hampstead, and the
various churches of that town, pro
vide coffee and cake in great abun-

All these homelike touches help to
make a soldiers life more agreeable
and l feel sure that the majority OF
the boys appreciate what is being
done for them.
In the Y. M. c. AS at Camp Greene
Charlotte, n. c., moving pictures were
shown almost every night, and all the
several buildings were filled at an
early hour to their full capacity.
The entertainments are a source oil
great enjoyment to all who attend
them, but the greatest benefit in my
estimation is the free paper and en-
velopes Soldiers, as a rule never
have a cent a few days after pay

LETTER FROM LOCAL
BOY LAUDS Y. NJ. c. A..

In a very interesting letter writ
ten at Hampstead, New York. Thomas
Irwin of Kimberly writes of many
good things in behalf of the Y. NJ G.
A work that is carried on among the
boys who have Joined the colors.'
His letter which follows is written
on Y. NJ. G. A stationery:
Hampstead, n. w
November 20, 1917.
Mr. V c. Backman,
Kimberly, Idaho.
Dear Sir.
Your letter of November 18th re
ceived today Due, l suppose, to the
faulty mail service, it has reached me
several days late, and the answer will
probably arrive too late to be of any
benefit TO you 1 am only too glad
TO tell all 1 can of the army Y. NJ c.
A. work, and il benefits.
To begin with, it is my honest opin-
ion that the army Y NJ c. A. is of
more actual benefit to the individual
soldier than any other organization,
