Mr.. Bramblee hands us the fol-
lowing clipping from the Harold
Journal:
"a letter received by former
friends of the w. z. Stewart fam
lily now of Alliance, o., tells that
their section Of the country is
humming with war industry. Mr..
Stewart stated that six hundred
air machines left Dayton for
France last week, and that he saw
a trainload of trucks 90 through
Cleveland one day which will be
used in the signal corps. While
in Cleveland he also saw one of the
submarine ohasers leave the dock
and said that good many of this
type of boat were built in that city.
We folks i'm the west situated as
we are hardly realize just what is
taking place in the country in re-
gard to the war and such remarks
as given by Mr.. Stewart give one
an idea of what is going on in the
way of preparedness.

work at zero. All but one of the

being present. Rev. Vernon, pas

Miller gave an interesting talk on
his experience as General Secre.
tary, from travels in England,
Palestine and other countries,
which was of special interest at the
present time, in view of the. crisis
the world is now undergoing. He
was followed by Prof. Koch, sup't

Both of these addresses we're
scholarly and full of valuable
thoughts and ideas and it was a
great pleasure to hear them. Mrs.

MORE INDIANS BEcoME CITIZENS

Major James Mclaughlin, In

Special Supervisor,-shave been at
the Agency the past few days init
ating another company of Indians
as American citizens. One hun
dred and one are thus being initl-
ated this trip, scattered over diff
ferent parts of the Reservation.
They left today for White Horse
and other points to complete their
work. Each man is presented
with purse, while the women get
a small handbag The purse for
the men is a unique one, being
original with the Major, different
from anything ever carried by
white men. 1t consists of two
round pieces of fat leather, sewed
together around the edges, with
an opening of about an inch and a
half at one edge. Another small
Ell one similar in style is placed in
side the other. The money is
tucked inside the smaller part,
then it is tnrned around, so that
the opening is inside of the larger
at the opposite side. The Theory
of the purse is that it is easy to
get the money in it but difficult tc
get out.

Dollar-for-D
Proviso Spurs On
Farmers to Rebel

Steps are being taken by the good
roads committee of the Nebraska AS
ISOLATION of Commercial Clubs to pre-
pare Legislative bill which will put
Nebraska in position to use some OF
the federal money appropriated for
good roads in the state. The COM
mittee OF this state body met in Lin
coin yesterday. It is understood in
Omaha that the committee has the
draught OF the bill nearly completed.
Since the government has decided
to make Omaha headquarters for the
administration Of the $780, 900 road
fund to be expended in four states,
including Nebraska, the committee
took on renewed vigor. Before any
of this money becomes available for
road work in Nebraska the legislature
must appropriate dollar for dollar.
When the bill passed in congress it
was looked upon as great boon to
these states and little opposition was
looked for. However opposition has
developed, particularly in the farm
ers' organizations, which hope to de-
feat any effort Of the legislature to
appropriate money for hard-surface
roads.

Yet the credit of all the world rests
on this little block OF metal Every
thing you own has its value based on
that block. The billions OF national
debts as W II as the price of news

Cut the block in halves. We, the
