houses during the past summer,

Mr.. Albert, when seen by Star
Mirror representative, Stated that in
his opinion there will be much more
building next season than there has
been this, owing partly to the TACT
that the cost of material and labor
has come down considerably aud
partly to the fact that people, some
of whom have been wanting to build
for several years, are getting tired Of
waiting.

CHILDREN TO Be CLAD
WARMLY AND SCAOOLEO

Working jointly, the Salvation
Army and the associated charities
will see to 1t that family of IL chill
dren, ranging in ages from one month
to IL years, are comfortably housed,
fed and clothed this winter and that
the children of school age are in
school. The plight of the family
who live on a homestead, in the edge
Of the timber, some IL miles from
Moscow, was discovered few days
ago and reported to the Salvation
Army headquarters here. Investiga-
ton was made at once and it was
found that the children are almost
without clothes. OF the IL only one
had shoes to wear and their other
clothing was most scanty The two
organizations mentioned above took
made for house in town, where the
family can live during the winter and
the children go to school.
The problem now confronting the
workers in these benevolent organi-
cations is to secure clothing for the
eleven, which is nc. small task. 1t is
believed, however, that all that is
necessary is to call attention of the
good people of Moscow to the need
and it will be quickly supplied. The
plea is therefore made, through the
columns of the Star-Mirror, for used
clothing and shoes. Such clothing as
is not suitable for the boys and girls
of the family can be made over and
Captain Montgomery of the Salvation
Army will see to it that the sewing
is done. If you have any clothing
that you can spare put it to good use
by making it available for this fam
lily. Clothing should be sent to Sal
vation Army headquarters, 121 South
Almond, or call Captain Montgomery
and he will call at your home for your
parcel

September 5, was 1858, Of whom 289
are from Moscow and the rural dis

kendrick, Standpoint, Bovlll and Har-
ward, Idaho; Colfax, Pullman and
Dayton, Washington; Milton, Oregon;

addition to the number mentioned
above, there are many who visit this
hospitable public room and do not
take time to register.
Many words of appreciation have
been spoken by visitors, one person,
unsolicited, writing after hsr name
the following comment: "A much
needed addition to the town" Some
have offered to pay, The Star Mirror

ANNOUNCEMENT.
To the Democratic Voters of Worces
ter County.

To the Democratic Voters of Worces-
ter County.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Before this notice shall be brought
to your attention, it will be generally
known that | have withdrawn from
the contest for the nomination for the
House of Delegates.
The purpose of this communication
is to make clear to my friends, my
reason for doing So Of the success
full outcome of my contest had not
the slightest doubt, if the many as
surances of support which | had from
friends and fellow Democrats all ov-
er the county meant anything. But
there are many reasons why pri-
mary contest at this time, was partic-
ularly to be avoided, if possible, es-
pecially so when the elimination of
only one man would relieve the coun-
ty of this enormous expense. There
was also an uncertainty as to which
OF the four candidates in the field
would be eliminated by the primary.
Costen's district is properly entitled
to only one candidate. and the pri-
mary might not have settled the mat
ter this way.
So my friends, in making the sac
rifce that | have. | trust you will ap-
rreciate my position, having consid-
cred the Democratic party and the
taxpayers of the county in preference
to my own personal ambitions.
feel sincerely grateful to all of you,
who promised me support. First of
all | wished to be remembered by you
a. a Democrat, ready to stand by my
party and do all | can to further it's
interests.
Very sincerely,
FRANK P. BRATTEN,
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1921-09-10
