WHERE THE SOLDIERS LIKE TO GATHER FOR
 A RESTFUL EVENING

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. D. War Camp Community Recreation Service has become recognized factor in the lives of many com missiOned and enlisted men on duty i nthis part of the state, according to their own expressions of appre- citation.
 A recent manifestation of this type of work has been the popular ity accorded the 'Dugout," Mrs. Merideth Woodward's own name for her Hollywood home, which she throws open to the soldiers each Sunday. Mrs. Woodward has or ganized q group of young matrons and maids who assist her each week in entertaining all the men in khaki or blue who come seeking recreation. Music is provided by volunteers; the simplest Of refresh ments are at hand for those who want them; and absence of formal ity and presence of cordial cheer fulness are the chief clements that draw scores of men to her home weekly
 The plan has become so popu- lar that the soldiers have re-christ- ened the 'Dusout. They call it the Young Soldiers Homc."

FACTORIES OVERWORkED WOMEN MUST ASSIST IN
 MAKING WAR SUPPLIES

DOUGLAS, Feb 5.-The argument "Why don't the factories do the knit ting" is not tenable these days for the reason that the factories are al ready working up to their full ca pacity and the supply for knitted garments is practically double what the factories can turn out and it is up to the women of America to re- lieve the situation.
 The women of the Douglas-Tread- well Red Cross chapter are, in the main, rendering noble service, but more could be done if everything else was laid aside, especially on Red Cross work days. Tuesday at the Pines, and Wednesdays and Fridays at Labor Union Hall.
 Tasks have been set for the next few weeks in that acquisitions have been made on the various chapters for stated amount of completed work and to comply with the re- quests, every woman in the chapter will be willing to do her share of work
 It is urged that the meeting to- morrow be made the banner one of the winter Let every other engage ment go and make none for future Red Cross meeting days. The women as a class are depended upon by the soldiers on the front and in training for the front, they will rise to the occasion.

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Mel
son, died at the family home, Fourth
street SW, at IL o'clock this fore

E. l.. Peck's undertaking rooms. One
of the sad features of this death is

tiers of the family. Both were strick-

BUDGET BOARD
NEW STATE PLAN OF ESTIMAT-
ING NEEDS OF INSTI-
TUTIONS.

Sioux Falls, Nov. 27.-South Da-
kota is trying out her budget idea.
The law enacted by the last legisla-
ture creating a budget committee
that will now do much of the work
formerly done by the appropriations
committee, the state board of regents
and the board of charities and cor
.rections, in fixing the amounts neces-
sary for appropriations for state in
~stitutions is having it's first testing.
Andrew Warwick, Of Sisseton, for
mer state senator from Roberts coup-
ty and one of the leaders in the last
two sessions; Hugh Smith, of How
ard, member of the tax commission,
and e. w. Anderson, OF Willow
Lakes, one of the big men OF the low
en- house at Pierre, spent yesterday in
the city on their initial round OF the
institutions to determine their finan-
cial needs for the coming two years.
They visited the state penitentiary
here and with Warden Redfield, went
over the institution and obtained an
idea on which to base their report.

Hills institutions.
When We get through, we should
have a comprehensive knowledge of
what is needed" said Senator Mar
wick yesterday at the Cataract hotel.
I'VE will then meet Gov. Norbeck
and State Auditor-elect Reeves and
after consultation with the members
of the state board of regents and the
state board of charities and correc-
tons, be prepared to submit figures
to the legislature. Heretofore, it
has been the custom for all institu-
tion heads to visit the capital and
make known their wants to the APP
preparation committee but this meth
cd of the budget is saving time and
work and should prove more econom-
ical as well as more accurate"
AS Senator Warwick and f. w. An
derson were the chairmen of the APP
preparation committees in their re-
spective branches of the last legisla-
ture their present work is not al
together unfamiliar to them.

ALLEGED BURGLARS
THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN IMPLI-
GATED In LAKE PRESTON
THEFTS.

Lake Preston, Nov. 27.-A man
giving his name as Ralph L. Jensen
was arrested at Madison and brought
to Lake Preston by officers on sus-
picion of being implicated in several
burglaries committed here. The
burglars, who are believed to have
been two in number, made a raid on
several local residences. One of the
homes entered was that of Ole L. Oh
ston. When arrested Jensen had in
one of his pockets a key to the First
National bank building which had
been taken from Olston's clothing
when his home was raided by the
thieves. At the home of Peter Lar
son an intruder was discovered, but
made his escape before he could be
captured. One or two other houses
were entered and attempts were
made to enter others. At some of
the places entered the burglars Sc
cured purses containing sums of
money and a number of valuable ar
ticles. After the robberies were dis
covered a farmer remembered giving
two men a ride to Oldham, where it
was learned they took a freight train
for Madison. Although n OF the
supposed burglars was arrested, no
trace can be found of the second man
who seems to have made good his es-
cape.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES.

AS the ban on public gatherings
has not been lifted ii will be impos-
sible to meet in the accustomed way
on Thursday, November %. The
members of the ministerial alliance
have decided to postpone this thanks
giving service until Wednesday even
ing. December 4. Many have been
clamoring for an opportunity to ex-
press their joy and gratitude in a
more befitting manner than the pub
lie demonstration on Monday, the
18th, permitted. The health officer,
DR.. Kellogg, has given permission for
a public gathering. The schools will
be opened on Monday, December q.
The high school auditorium has been
secured for this occasion. Let us
make this a community gathering
such as was never held before and to
which we will point with pride and
joy in the years to come. An inter-
esting program is being prepared and
will be announced later. Keep this
date open and plan to be there with
your friends.
For Thursday we would suggest as
the families gather around the tables
that we spend just a little time in
recounting the many blessings that
have come to us as individuals, fam
lilies and a nation. If black robed
have entered our homes, and
few homes have not been visited,
they have revealed a bond of SYM
pathy little dreamed of and have
made us stronger. Every one surely
will have cause for Thanksgiving and
praise. This should be a good prep
.aration for the community thanksgiv-
ing service the following Wednesday

tary Ministerial Alliance.

WHY BRUNSWICK TONE REPRO
DUCTTON is BEST.

The Brunswick "Ultona" ~all-record
reproducer and the new atwood tone
amplifier, two improvements in pho
n%ographs pronounced by many the
greatest in years-are responsible
for the wonderful tone of the Bruins
wick. Both of these improved fea-
lures "a be had in the Brunswick
only, and both are integral parts of
the instrument-not attachments in
any sense.
The Brunswick "Ultona" r~eproduc-
err plays all records at their best.
Just a turn of the hand adapts it to
any make of record, assuring the
proper position on the record, the
precise weight, and the required
point-diamond, sapphire, steel, etc.
The "Ultona" is the only reproducer
that fulfills the requirements, which
are necessary to properly play all
makes of records on any one ma
chine.-Frank C. Smith, the Rexall
Store.

WATERIAND light
COLD WEATHER HITS HARD AT
PIERRE.

Pierre, Nov. 27.-The Missouri
froze v Saturday at this point, for
the first time this season, once more
proving the adage that "it never
rains but it pours." The town has
been supplied with water from the
usual city wells since the burning of
the power plant in June but has been
compelled to use a tractor gasoline
engine to pump it. Along with the
cold sudden drop came a burst in the
mains. Following that repair the
gasoline engine froze up, and refused
to go. Consequently every North
western engine had to stay in the
roundhouse for lack of water, not
even being able to get out to Fort
Pierre for a supply and traffic be-
tween the two towns was closed be-
cause the boats had to cease running
as a result of ice in the river. Cat
tie trains. interurban lines and
freight were held up by the water
shortage for most of the day.
Lights have been furnished the
city by the capital building plant, but
will be turned off December l, and
thereafter as the plant will have to
carry its capacity for the capitol
alone during the legislative session.
However, temporary units have been
installed at the government Indian
school which will relieve the situa-
ton and supply the city lights until
the new plant, now in process of
erection is finished next spring.
