Spending the Billions at Home
New York Sun.


If we should be compelled to raise for
this first year of our war 100000.
600, as the Washington talk now runs,
or as much as 100000, 100000. there
would be no such hardship for this coun.
try as half that expenditure would infict
on other nations of the frst-class, not
excepting even the financially great and
powerful British Empire.
For one thing we should be spending
on our own war money which we made
by the billions of dollars out of those
powers which were at war upwards o,
three years before we ever lifted finger
For another thing, we are not now.
and probably shall not be later, spending
on the war single dollar outside of our
own country.
All the Allies are spending oceans OF
n oney outside of their own countries
and are running deeply into debt to lend
ers outside of their own countries.
Our own government will be going in
to debt to its own people within its own
country. At the very same time other
nations at war will be going into debt to

Why Some Pews Are Empty
Christian Register.

1t is the persistent superstition among
tive Christian church people that other
us than those of the world guide the
destinies of religious organizations. Let
them forget it. If a man breaches to
empty pews, there is a reason for it in
his equipment. We know because we
have done it,-almost. If he does not &C.
complish administrative results, it is his
delinquency. If, in the community, he is
never asked to participate in the welfare
of the people, he hasn't given samples of
his ability and usefulness. That is the
simple if rather drastic fact. There is
reason why he doesn't market his wares.
When both churches and ministers realize
that their success or the lack of it is due
to the fulfillment or the non-ful6lment of
Gods laws, which always work for re.
ward or failure, they will get an answer
to the questions, is my church superfu-
Gus, and am efficient
Let not confusion enter here. Eficien-
cy means something more than mere &C.
tivity. Some churches, like their minis
tiers, are busy about nothing. They get
into print and make TODD, but when
they have done, it means no more than
the pricking of bubble. On the other
hand, consider them. in both pulpit and
pew, in our church and all the churches,
who their life long have composed small
groups, and yet when anything of impor-
lance happened where they lived they
made it happen They also guided the
higher operations of the wonderful life
of the spirit in the holy quietude of wor-
ship and study in the small parish church.
1t was these latter engagements that
produced the former achievements Eff
cheney, ah, this is thy habitation, and
here is portion of Gods grand estate.

Women and men suffer from blood

impossible to conceive of better
remedy than Hood s Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron Pills taken in conjunction,
one before eating and the other after.
These two great medicines aid each
other, and it is economy to take both,

Peptiron Pills are the ideal iron

CUSTER FLOUR MILL.

With the opening of the Custer Mill
ing Company mill at Custer an industry
was started that surely means a lot to
this district and to the county in gen
eral We now have place to sell our
grain of all kinds and do not have to
ship to far market or to peddle it
about in small quantities as We used to
do.
The new mill is equipped With all the
latest -four making machinery and there
is no reason why flour equal to the best
can not be turned out. Careful tests
have been made of the flour and in no
instance has there been an adverse re-
port sent in.
The Company has also erected large
warehouse and will soon be in a posi-
ton to carry large stock OF mill feeds.
As soon as possible feed mill will also
be put in operation. This will be APP
preciated by the farmers Of our com
munity as heretofore there has been
many a week that no feed of any kind
could be obtained.
The owners of the mill are men Of
business experience and with reputa-
tions for fair dealing. The miller, Mr..
Jessup, has been making -four for is
years and it is enough to say that he
knows his business
The Company are using as a brand for
their -four Mile High" taking the
name from the elevation of the town
and the surrounding country.
In writing Of the new Mill the writer
would say word about the shipment of
wheat out of this district. Under Gov
ernment control the price you get here
is the same, everything considered, as
you would get if you shipped to Omaha
and If the mill is to run it must have
wheat, and with the price Of wheat fix
ed no mill can afford to 90 into the Eas-
tern market and ship the wheat back to
the mill. Another thing we hear is that
wheat is being sold as chicken and hog
feed this is not conservation. When
the large cities are going without white
bread several days of the week in order
to make our wheat supply last until next
harvest it behooves all of US to be as
careful of our wheat as we can and see
that every bushel of it is made into
flour. Let us then get behind this new
concern and in helping them help our.
selves.
