Local BarriSter Enters
Hospital Controversy
Confined from page onel

Confined from page onel
League ladies began to look into the
cost of constructing their building,
when a committee Of business men
from Plentywood came to them, and
offered their assistance, If they would
take this little fund, solicit other
funds, and put across something suf-
ficiently large and permanent to be
really worth while for the community.
This was considered and discussed,
and the ladies Of the Civics League
decided to undertake it. Committees
from the League worked for days to-
gether, canvassing the town n d
country, soliciting subscriptions and
funds for the purpose Of putting up a
real Community Hall. The business
and professional men, and the farm
ers in our community were more
than liberal, donating as they could
afford, and giving freely, both in
time, money and effort, and lending
their prestige and support to this en-
terprise. The outcome was that a
fund large enough was raised to pur-
chase the grounds upon which our
Sheridan County Memorial hospital
now stands. at a cost Of 100000, ano
to pay worlCmen the cost Of construc-
ton of the building as it first stood
which was about 100000, and to In
stall a heating plant, and wire the
building and to purchase the hardware
and nails used in the construction Of

wanted their money. There was a
balance of several thousand dollars IN
the local Red Cross treasury, which
unless used for the benefit Of the To-
cal Community very soon, would have
IN he RENTED to National headquart-
ers and would be by them used IN
general relief work throughout Tn
United States and In foreign coun-
tries. The plan was finally evolVed
that if this money could be used IN
some legal manner to create a nos
nital. If would do the local community
more good than anything else the
Red Cross could do, as under ruling
from National headquarters the funds
could only be used for medical care
or attention, disqualification, nursing,
and things of that nature, they hav-
inc withdrawn the right to extend re-
lief in the case of poor support, FUR
nishing of supplies, etc.
The mortgage on the Community
hall was foreclosed, and the Red Cross
furnished the money to redeem from
the sale. This money it must be re-
membered was the money contributed
bv the farmers and business m e n
/ throughout cur county. 1t was not
the money of the doctors, but was
money raised generally by the Com
munitv which was to be benefited by
/ the hospital. Those who were here at
the time will remember a Red Cross
/ sale held at PlentywOOd wherein ev-
| erv farmer in our community donated
of his substance as he felt he could
afford, some of them cows, some hcrs-
es, some of them grain, some OF them
poultry, some Of them machinery, but
practically everyone something, a
they felt they could afford. This sale
was only one of the many sales held
a t different towns throughout Oul
county Also during that year large
proportion of the public spirited farm
ers in our county had contributed t.
the Red Cross one acre of grain
planting it, caring for it at their owl
expense, and turning the value of the
crop raised ON it in to the Red Cross
So it will be seen that this none!
was strictly a Community fund.
GIN order to place the hospital il
the hands of an organization which
would be authorized to operate it as
hospital there had been organized
, Hospital association. The propert.
! was redeemed in their name, the,
z agreeing to rent back to the Re
| Cross a suitable room for Red eros
/ headquarters, the rent Of such room
to repay the Red Cross for the none
: advanced to redeem the building an
| premises, this sum being approx
, mately S4500.00.
Thus it will be seen that up to thi
! time the Community, not the town o
Plentywood, but the entire cOmmunit
the surrounding towns, and the farm
ers of cur county, had by their pub
; lie spirited contributions raised n
donated between 100000 and SO
10000, and had placed at the dis
! posal of the hospital board the Ian
4 and building comprising the hospits
premises.
The building of course needed fir
ishing outside, and had to be remOC
eled and finished inside, and equippe
+, with suitable furniture before
would be completed for hospital US

The Vote in Sheri-
dan County

The Primary vote in Sheridan
County this was the smallest since
the law came into operation. This
was due to the fact that 1926 is
an "Off year. politically and that
the harvest was in full swing when
the vote was taken. Most Of the
votes were cast in the towns.
INTEREST IN REPUBLICAN
COLUMN
The chief interest was manifested
in the Republican ticket in the cOun-
tv. This was due to the fact that
there was a contest there and many
persons of other party affiliations
went over there to vote. The high
est vote on the Republican ticket
was cast for Mrs. f. Z. Singleton,
candidate for Superintendent of
Schools who received 367 votes. The
voting for legislative representa-
tives and Justices of the Peace was
lower than for other officers. This
was probably due to the fact that
many persons voted for one instead
full Of two of these candidates. A
fun Democratic ticket was nOminat-
ed with c. +. Conner receiving the
highest number of votes. Ole Esp
lund. received 800 which was the
highest vote cast on the Farmer
Labor ticket. where there was no
contest.

DEBATE ON PROHIBITION
WILL TAKE PLACE BEFORE
SENATE COMMITTEE in
APRIL.

WASHINGTON. March 22.-
Debate on prohibition will reach
flood tide In Washington between
April 5 and IL, when vets and
drys viii appear before senate
judiciary subcommittee TO testify
on five modification proposals.
The vets will hold the floor dur
ing the first week and the prehi-
bitionists will take the second
period.
The judiciary committee has ac-
|cepted the recommendation of its
sub-co Amittee Of five that public
hearings be held and has appoint
ed Senator Means, Republican.
Colorado, chairman. The full
committee also approved the
Recommendation that only modi-
fication bills be considered at the
hearing and that the measure BY
Senator Edwards. Democrat, New
Jersey. to repeal the Volstead Act
be pigeon-holed. Passage Of the
act would leave the government
without means of enforcing the
prohibition amendment to the con-
stitmtion.
Senator Walsh, Democrat,
Montana, raised the only objec-
tion in the committee to the hear
ings, arguing that they were
sought merely to enable wet in
terests to spread propaganda.
The wet leaders themselves hold
no hope that any Of the modifica-
ton bills will be favorably report
ed but they urged the hearings.
they explained, so that interested
officials, educators, ministers and
others could give congress the
benefits Of their views as "a how
the prohibition laws should be re-
vised In order TO make enforce

The work Of the Chamber of
Commerce in instructing travellers
about steamship service and infor-

much appreciated, says L. R,

A passenger yesterday asked
Mr.. Warner to thank the chamber

Warner writes DR.. ]. Y. Porter
Sr., president of the chamber OF
commerce, as follows, relative to
this specific instance OF the good
work of the chamber of commerce
of Key West:
Yesterday afternoon one OF
the passengers arriving on the S. s.
Governor Cobb from Havana ask.
ed me to thank the Chamber of
Commerce for the courteous letter
that had been written to her and
for information sent concerning
Key West. She had wanted to 60
to Panama and had written from
Virginia to the Chamber of Com
merce to find out if she could go
to Panama via steamship lines
from Key West.
"The Chamber of Commerce
sent her information not only as
to the means Of going to Panama
but also sent information about
Key West. She was so agreeably
surprised at the wonderful fea-
lures Of our city that she came
back via Key West so as to get
better acquainted. After an au-
tomobile ride around the city the
lady and her travelling companions
fell completely in love with Key
West and asked me to be sure to
thank you and your secretary for
the courteous attention she had
received from your Office"
