CONGREGATION RELIEVES
PASTOR OF OBLIGATION

Last Sunday the members of the
German Lutheran Evangelical church
of Lincoln township voted to relieve
their pastor. Rev. e. J. w. Starck,
from the responsibility of preaching
in the German language at the regu-
lar church services. The pastor was
requested by the County Council of
Defense several weeks ago to refrain
from preaching in the German Ian
guage. We are informed that a pas
tor of this congregation takes an oath
on being inaugurated to perform GER
tain duties, one of which is the stip-
ulation that he preach in German.
Rev. Starck felt that he was under
obligation to preach in German until
released from the duty by his congre-
cation. When the Council of De-
tense demanded him to comply with
their request he submitted for the
time being, but later, on demand of
some of the members of his congre-
cation, consented to preach in the
German language as there were quite
few members who could not under
stand the English.
Last week two of the members of
the Council visited Rev. Starck and
demanded to know the reason why
their orders were no obeyed. Rev.
Starck informed them of the situation
and readily agreed to preach only
in English if released by a vote of
his congregation.
The matter was discussed by the
congregation last Sunday with the
result that hereafter, or during the
period of the war, Rev. Starck will
preach in the English language. In
a conversation with Rev. Starck Mon
day he informed us that he had no
desire to disobey any orders or to do
anything that would bring discredit
on himself or his congregation. The
matter is now settled and there ought
to be no more rumors of 'disloyalty
among the German people of Lincoln
township. The Republican has been
reluctant to place any confidence in
the rumors of disloyalty that have
been afloat in the past for generally
the citizens of German descent are
among our best citizens. However,
If there is any disloyalty, let it be
dealt with in true Kaiser fashion,
punishment on the spot and no par
lying.

COOPERATIVE ASSO-
CITATION ORGANIZED
OganizatiOn Proposes to Get Farmers
of This Section Together to Pur-
chase Supplies for Own Use

The Cooperative Purchasing Asso-
citation is the name of new organi-
cation, Audubon and CaSs county
men are promoting, and has for its
object the banding of farmers and
others together into an association
for the purchase of supplies of all
kinds, the idea being that in the
union of the members will be brought
about a purchasing power which will
result in buying at the lowest pos
sible price.
The officers of fhe association,
which will have its purchacing head
quarters in Omaha or Council Bluffs,
are J. A. Nelson, Atlantic, president;
c. F. Beekman, Atlantic, first vice
president; A. A. Nelson, Brayton,
second vice. president; and c. S.
Brown, Atlantic, secretary-treasurer.
Mr.. Brown was for many years audi
tor for the Joyce Lumber Co., Third,
fourth and fifth vice presidents will
be chosen later.
I'VE propose to make the thing a
CO." said one of the officers in talk
ing to this paper recently. There
is no reason why we should not in
clude every farmer in this section.
Our plan will be to stock staple mer-
chandise used every day by the men,
bers, so as to insure quick service in
delivery. In fact We might eventu-
ally branch out and start a mail or
der house."
The new organization has COM
menced the campaign for members
and is sending out circulars setting
forth the purposes and benefits of the
association. The membership fees
has been placed at s25, which will
not be payable until January 1st.
While most of tho members will
probably be farmers, yet persons liv-
ing in cities and towns can also be-
come members. 1t is the plans of
the promoters to secure 500 charter
members. and we understand that
the number will soon be reached.
when articles of Incorporation will be
secured. The stock is worcestershire
not transferable and no member will
be held responsible for a greater
sum than the amount of his stock.
The charter members numbering
500 will have an advantage of other
members for they will be exempted
from SIS year dues for a period of
five years.
"a "a. 4NCloOn VI JHt SEE
ond vice-president, was in the ciE
Tuesday talking the proposition to
some of our farmers and succeeded in
selling large amount of stock. He
stated that in each community where
$50 members are secured that branch
stores will be opened and he thought
that one of these branches would be
established in this city.
About a hundred members have
already been secured in the neigh
borhood' of Brayton. Considerable
time will be devoted to Audubon
county with view to making sure
that a large branch house can be es-
tablished for the benefit of the men,
bers in this community. Mr.. Nelson
has an advertisement in another place
in today's paper which sets out more
fully the plans of the organization.

FORCED TO ISSUE CHECK

Sunday afternoon, Sheriff Wilson
and Deputy Boyer were hurriedly
summoned to Kimballton to settle
temporarily some trouble existing
between II. II. Hansen and j. p.
Christensen.
1t seems that Hansen had worked
for Christensen five years ago, and
agreed to work till after corn pick
ing. He quit the job about the first
of July. AS consequence, Christ
ensen held back s25 of his wages.
Saturday night Hansen met Christen-
sen and forced him to to make out
check for the S25. in payment of
wages long past due. Christensen
then stopped the check and called
the sheriff who arrested Hansen and
brought him to the county Jail.
He waived preliminary hearing
and was bound over to the Grand
Jury on 500 bonds, to appear Octo-
Der 22.

THOU STALWART SACCHARINE BRIGADE,
FULFILL THY PROMISE TO OUR PEOPLE

1t has been several weeks since Mr..
Hoover, representative of the Great
Western Sugar Company, made his
investigation of the territory embraced
by the Colorado Nebraska B e e
Growers Association. Mr.. Hoover
after making his investigation trip
over the territory, returned to Denver
for the purpose of making report of
the proposition to the officials of the
company. Up until the present time
nothing definite has been done by the
Great Western Sugar Company in the
matter of making their reply to. the
Board of Control of the Colorado
Nebraska Beet Growers Association
relative to whether or not they would
meet the demands of the people of the
territory by constructing modern su-
gar factory.
AS will be remembered by the read
ers of this paper, the Board of Con-
troll of the Colorado Nebraska B e e t
Growers Association met in a confer
erence with the officials of the Great
Western Sugar company some three
months ago, and presented data and
maps showing conditions existing in
this territory relative to the estab-
lishment of sugar factory in this
territory, and the officials assured
the board that they would investigate
the territory at once and make an
early reply upon the proposition. Mr..
Hoover was sent here in the capacity
of investigator for the Great Wes-
tern sugar company, and this gentle
man spent several weeks travelling
over the territory from Kimball to
Ogallala, for the purpose of verifying
the facts as presented to his company
by the Board of Control
Now some time has elapsed since
Mr.. Hoover returned to Denver to
make his recommendations to the su-
gar company, and the people of this
territory have been waiting patient
ly for reply from the sugar compa-
ny in regard to whether or not they
deemed conditions warranted their
taking action on the proposition OF
building a sugar factory in the ter
ritory. We are of the opinion that
the people of this territory have Il
right to know in the early future,
what action the Great Western Su-
gar company is going to take in the
matter, and it is up to the sugar COM
pany to make good their promise to
