Speedway Hospital Almanac Notes and 1907 to 1917 Trial Ride
A lengthy hospital column recounts a Red Cross donation of forty dollars by ward A-1 under Dr Watterson, plus memories of travels in Montana and Milon City. The piece blends hospital social notes with a long personal reminiscence of prairie work, horses, and a cross-country trek ending with a cliffing of a run to the Little Dry. Also covered are tea, chocolate gatherings, music and cinema at Speedway hospital, a Greek Male Chorus, Gold Star Mothers bunco, and library notes praising new gifts from the American Legion La Orange Post.
