¢ ih os Moverhient Started iby Auxiliary ~ To “Ado The movement.started in the cap- ital city by the Woman’s Auxiliary to “adopt” soldiers of companies A and I, is being well receiyed. In other ci- ties of the United States this custom hasbeen adopted from the European | countries and; Canada. Canadian wom- “en are sending cheer to their soldiers overseas by, every, mail. ‘Many a kind letter and\ parcel containing dainties reach the ‘boys. {n~the trenches. A special mailing Yate has been given the women by the Canadian govern- | ‘ment. Many of the boys of both companies are without. mothers and _ sisters. These are the ones that the movement will do most for. Nearly every mem- ber of the auxiliary has one to two: boys they*have given to their coun-' try. They will be provided with every comfort possible to send to a distant land, but the boy without a mother or sister will not! know. these little Pleasures except some woman or girl in. Bismarck | not having, a son or brother to send overseas that democ- racy might live, “adopts” him. The auxiliary has the names of the boys of Company A and are now se-j curing the names of the boys of Com- pany I, so that. the work of selecting pt” Soldier Boys an “adopted” son or brother will be very little trouble. Mrs. Peter Keid, Mrs. John I. Willson and other mem. bers of the auxiliary will be only too glad to furnish a list and brief his- tory of the companies’ personnel. It will not be mucn troudle. A let- ter, or a copy of the home paper| would be sutucieat ts add cheer when tired and weary. after a day’s battle. One boy was heard to say that “he would have given $5 ‘fér'a copy of The Tribunc, just to sce what was going on at home.” That was when, the troops were only at the Mexican; border. What will it) be like when the great Atlantic separates him fron all that is dear? Women and girls in Bismarck will be spared the horrors of war and will never know the great sacrifices made by boys now stationed at Fort Lin- coln. Life here will be about tho sume as in times of peace. But many Si ices can be made by them that these boys may feel that away back home in the capital city someone is tuuuking about them and is glad to send them words of cheer and com- fort. It should only take a short time for the companies’ rosters to be full of check marks. NEW ENGLAND DINNER FOR OLD TIME FRIENDS ‘Mrs, 0. [’. Barnes, Mrs. J. D. Wake- man, Mrs, E. L.
