Misrepresentation Corrected

Some days ago letter appeared in
The Baraboo News from Miss Gladys
Apker in which it was gratuitously
stated that the Sisters hospital at
Hoboken, N. j., was taken over by
the government when it was discov-
cred that the proceeds from the hos
pital were being used for German re-
lief

are dedicating their lives to the al
deviation of human sufferings regard

but ON the blood-stained fields OF

The Reply
Church of Our Lady of Grace,
Hoboken, New Jersey,
October II, 1918.
The Very Rev. E. G. O'ReiGGy,
Baraboo, Wisconsin.
My Dear Dean:
lin reply to your letter Of Ghe 18th
inst. relative to the statement of Miss
Gladys Apker about the Sisters Of
the Hoboken hospital, would say that
Miss Apker was misinformeG That
is ting most charitable way T cam put
it.
The hospital has been here since
the year 1868, and since that time
has been conducted by the Sisters OF
the Poor of st. Francis. About 3
years ago new wing was added.
When the war broke out the govern
ment sent some OF the sick soldiers
to the hospital and paid the sisters
$500 per day for every soldier. That
was to pay for food and drugs. When
one considers the price Of food and
drugs at the present time, it is hard
to conceive how the sisters could
have made any profit.
The sisters were not accused Of
giving HeIp to the germans. They
are just as patriotic as Miss Apker
and glad Of the opportunity afforded
them of caring for the sick soldiers.
AS you know, Dean all the individual
sister gets is the little she eats and
the clothes she wears. The govern
ment took over the whole institution
because it became necessity, ow-
ing to tdH increased number of sick
soldiers in this vicinity. The num-
Der Of sisters was not sufficient to
care for so many soldier patients.
More nurses were needed That is
why the Red Cross nurses were
called i'm and why the sisters had to
give up the hospital for the present.
The hospital is the best equipped
around here and the sisters were
glad to dave it taken over, for one of
them said to me, nothing is too good
for our soldier boys"
The huge Catholic church is sepa.
rated from the hospital by a public
street, and one cannot go directly
from one place to the other
Hoping, dear Dean, you will be able
to correct the Islander on the sisters
whose life-work is to take care of
the sick and poor, and who have
never been known to turn away a
even in the corridors. | am,
Yours sincerely In Christ,

With me it is very much like with

appreciate the News because it tells
us of the daily happenings and about
our old time neighbors. Among the
features that I never pass up reading

MASQUERADE AND OLD TIME
BASKET SOCIAL AT FORT TO
BE SOCIETY EVENT OF WEEK

An old-time basket social and mas
querade ball at the Fort Lincoln gym
nasium will be the real social event
of the approaching week. Wednesday
evening is the date set, and Misses
Blanche Small and Kathryn Lewis,
teachers Of the Fort Lincoln and Fort
Rice schools, will be the hostesses.
The Buyleigh County Red Cross chap
ter will be the beneficiary. All Bis
marck and Burleigh county are invit-
ed to be guests, and, Judging from the
success which attended the last event
of this nature at Fort Lincoln, a very
liberal percentage of acceptances may
be anticipated.
Misses Small and Lewis request that
every lady come armed with a we'll
filled lunch basket. These baskets
when dinner time approaches will be
sol dat auction, and with the basket
the purchaser acquires the pleasure of
sharing it's contents with the original
owncrf And, this is the real feature
Of the occasion, masks are not to be
removed until after dinner, and every
one must dine in their very best be-
havior, or as, nearly so as possible,
considering the difficulty which some
encounter under the rather difficult
handicap which the mask affords. For

Bros. will donate all you want them to
donate, this afternoon, but it's up to
you to let them know how much. They
have more than $500 worth of food
supplies prepared for the Red Cross
dinner they voluntarily tender. They
are anxious to sell all they have in the
restaurant for the mercy service cause.
Of course you'll do your bit, too, be-
cause the check for dinner will>be 75c,
slightly higher than customary.
Mounds and refrigerat0rs-full of
good things to eat we're stored away
yesterday afternoon in the restaurant
kitchen, in preparation for the big
gest days business, with the smallest
financial profit ever heretofore known
to the restaurant. But the American

Remember, the hours from noon to
1880 p. m, have been given over to this
dinner. Don't wait until after 1870 be-

Eservedly drew much attention. In the
first grade room, taught by Mrs. W
Z. Parsons, ones interest was first
claimed by the border of rabbits and
of George Washington hatchets, and
by a wall display of American flags
made by the children. Exhibits of pen
manship seven motnhs ago and now
showed the improvement.
Two other features were the thirty
pictures, copies of famous works of
art, of which each of the children
knows the name and artist, and a
hanging border Of Indians
from clothespins--and lanterns.
The second grade under the. direc
ton Of Miss Close displayed notable
work in drawings and paintings and
little paper doll designs. The most
noticeable piece Of work was draw
ing Of war garden with little patri-
OTIS hard at work; patriotism was also
shown in the drawings of sailors and
soldiers strung along the wall. Also
the little tots Of this room had on dis
play number of penwipers and other
comforts which they had made for our
boys in France.
In the third grade one noticed most
the drawing exhibit, although pen
manship papers and some attractive
hanging baskets were also good. The
fifty pictures used in picture study
were prominent, while small red, white
and blue shields ornamenting the COW
ers of composition books showed the
patriotic note. Miss Maurer has this
grade.

The fourth grade, taught by Mrs.
Roach, had very neatly arranged and
interesting display. The first thing
that met the eye here was section of
