RED CROSS SALE
IMMENSE SUCCESS
WEST-RIvER RECORDS BROKEN
NEAfLY$7;6oo RECEIPTS

In a binding snow storm that
drove the bidders from the street
into nearby building, Philip
held its first Red Cross Auction
sale son Saturday. In spite of
Of the bad weather the sale de-
veloped into an amazing success.
At two o'clock Sunday morning
when the exhausted promoters
and bidders added up the totals
it was found that the. sale had
brought in ~ ,e37 40.
The weatlIer was certainly dis
appointing, because Saturday
morning found a real April snow
storm sweeping down. fromA.-the
northwest. This kept hundreds
of country folks, who had ex-
pected to participate, at home.
In town the committee who had
plarned upon holding The sale
on Center Avenne, was forged to
make new arrangements at the
last moment and transfer the sale
to lower floor Of the building on
Oak Street, belonging to R. w.
Mathieson. A platform was has-
tily constructed, in this building,
and several d9ayloaas of dona-
tiors assefrb1aa ab0nt it. u
AT 2 O'Clock the stage was
set for action. After an announce
ment Of the days program by
Alvin Waggoner, chairman OF
the Haakon county chapter, Hon.
U.s N. Leedom of Kadoka, intro
duced the sale with q few effec-
tive remarks. Indeed, It may ebe
said in passing that .4Mr Lee
dom = remarks are one Of the
important phases OF Red Cross
Auction as he conducts it.
The Philip High School Glee
Club sang semioriginal song,
entitled, Buy A Liberty Shirt
Or Two The strains Of their
music hardly died away when
the shirts had been sold half .
dozen times over at So and 80
shot.
It Is impossible to describe in
detail the course of the auction

Tar sl1nnar session and still later

men who have no .incumberances
in the way Of women folks or
prospect Of acquiring any bought
articles of ladies wearing APP
parel at $15 per cammisole. Baby
carriages, baby robes and the
like, brought surprisingly strong
bids from unexpected quarters.
Excitement ran high at the
aftersupper session. The Philip
band played patriotic airs, such
as ssKhaki Bill and the Battle
Cry of Freedom while the
crowd sang and yelled pausing
after each stanxa SO that the
auctioneer could sell the tune.
Men and women bought the
tunes at from $25 to 500 per
tune. In addition they sang
wept and, hinged esch other. It
was about ten times as sex-
citing as any revival meeting we
have ever seen.
A dinner was served at the
noon hour upstairs and a big sup
per at six o'clock. The eatables
contributed much to the good
humor Of everybody and the
success Of the auction. Although
the women folks only obtained
$4O0 from their dinner and sup
per, it is safe to say that their
cooking and hospitality added Sc
veral times that amount to the
price which the auctioneers re-
ceived downstairs, For the. dance
supper Henry Hoffman gener-
ously turned over the use of his
entire restaurant and d band of
tired, heroic women were still
in force there at an early hour
Sunday morning serving lunch
and washing dishes
After Manager Brown had
concluded his 'show he turned
over the Gem theatre to the COM
mittee and the auction started
again. Almost the first number OF
the program was the offering Of
"Baby Jack donated by Dan
Powell and his boys. This hoax
was q good curtain raiser and
|" Jack was bid in by Mayor
