n great many more would come if an
organized effort were made to put be-
fore prospective settlers the advantages
we have to offer.
We often hear people wondering if
anything is ever going TO '.happen'' in
this valley to bring about some prog
ress- and improvement. y commercial
organization in n town can WELD a
great power in causing beneficial
things to happen which would lever
happen otherwise, and the lack of such
an organization here is at once evident
to the casual visitor from any live
town.
The business people of Saratoga are
no doubt saving a few cents u month
by not having to pay dues in such an
organization, but for every cent thus
saved they are losing dollars simply be-
cause we have no active business club
or other means of cooperation in going
after desirable things.

TUBERCULOSIS FIGHTERS
JOIN WITH RED CROSS

Fifteen hundred anti-tuberculosIs
associations In every state in the I'm
ion have set aside their ordinary work
and are giving their time and atten-
ton during the next month to the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call, according
to an announcement from the head
quarters of the National Tuberculosis
Association.
Instead of the usual sale OF Red
Cross Seals which has been conducted
for the last ten years Jointly by the
National Tuberculosis Association and
the American Red Cross. this coming
year the tuberculosis movement will
be supported by a direct appropriation
of $2,5OO,OOO from the Red Cross, pnd
In turn all of the machinery of the tu-
berculosis campaign will be turned
into helping swell the membership of
the American Red Cross in an effort
to enroll every man and woman In the
country.
In every state there Is a well organ-
lied nat organization, and under 1t
there are strong local branches. These
trained workers will Cooperate with
the Red Cross chapters In their COM
munity and will endeavor to organize
their districts so that no n can es-
cape solicitation. Universal member
ship In the Red Cross Will be thea aim.

WE SHOULD BE
UP AND DOING.

Saratoga's Commercial Club (if we
but had one) should now be busy with
n systematic campaign to bring in new
settlers. and such a campaign would
without doubt serve to greatly increase
our population during the next few
years.
II has been h history of every war
that following the cessation of HOSTILE
ties there has been an enormous turn
ing of the population of the conflicting
countries to the land, and every section
that confirms open land in any amount
may well benefit from this movement.
Such another opportunity to acquire
new population will not be at hand
within an ordinary lifetime, and those
communities which put forth an organ
lied effort along this line are the ones
which will most largely benefit. In
many parts of the west such cam
paigns are already in progress, and
with the present bright outlook for live
stock and agriculture there is no good
reason why a great many new settlers
could not be located in the Platte val
ley. \ few may come i'm, by chance.
without any effort on our part. and in
spite of the fact hat no encouragement
Is given by the people already here, but

y OF all the observances of

4 tered exchanging of gifts will be

4 The Red Cross Christmas Roll
4 Call Is conceived in the new
4 light. When the American man,
4 woman or child pays the nomi-
4 nal membership dues the action
4 far t~ranscends an ordinary con-
4 tribution. Wherever people are
4 starving, wherever they are sick.
r wherever they lack shelter. the
4 Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
4 will stand for renewed hope and
4 the promise of e%fficncious relief.
4 How necessary, then. that the
4 answer of the American people
X should be overwhelming. The
r amount of money raised is sec
4 ondary. The world will measure
4 our humanitarian purpose by the
4 number of names enrolled. If
X the word goes out thai FORTY
X MILLION Americans have Joined

A CHANCE TO
ET IN PRACTICE.

Platte Valley people should, without
exception. be able to DOL around them
and see very visible evidence of what
can result from II lack of cooperation
among the people of a community.
Many natural advantages are lying idle
under our noses because no concerted
effort ON the part of the people has been
made to take any advantage of or put
any life into them. Individual effort
is of little or no effect, and there has
been no unified effort made to accom-
plish anything for the good of the town
or community. This condition CON
fronts the citizens of Saratoga, and ev-
cry one of us knows and realizes it.
whether or not we will acknowledge it.
Very shortly now we shall again have
n most excellent opportunity to show
community spirit and do something
for the good of the community. The
Platte Valley Flour Mill expects to have
its product o III the local market by the
first of he year. aud valley people
should, without II single exception, give
this institution their active cooperation
and patronage. We should be proud, in
deed, to have this mill located in Sara
toga, and more han willing to give it
every opportunity to prosper. Local
capital has purchased and installed the
mill. and if it makes u profit that profit
will be spent with local merchants and
local agriculturists. and in improving
the mill property. Every farmer of the
valley should be more thar glad to CO.
operate by raising whatever acreage of
h he conveniently can, and those
of us who prosper because the farmer
and stockman, is prosperous should be
more than glad to hold up the balance
from II other side by purchasing the
mills products.
H. would indeed. he interesting to
know how many hundreds of thousands
of dollars of Platte Valley money have
been paid to mills i'll Nebraska and
other states for Tour and kindred pro-
ducts during the past II years: also
what would have been the effect on
this valley had this great quantity. of
money been paid out to local grain
growers and local millers, instead of
being sent to other communities far re-
moved from us.

There are man. good reasons, and
not unpatriotic reasons, why h publ

one which might easily do an injus-
tice to people who may be just as good

How about the man. for instance, who
had $500 that he could spare, and put
1t all into government bonds of the Sec
ond Liberty Loan, or the Third Liberty
Loan, before the Stacker list scheme
was adopted? Isn't he a good patriot?
Then comes the Fourth Liberty Loan
or the War Work drive, and the county
committee, without accurate knowledge
of his private affairs or the state of his
finances, demands that he contribute "a
certain amount. Knowing his own bus
mess better than does some outsider, he
gives only half the stipulated amount
all or more than he can afford, perhaps
and he is published broadcast as u
Stacker"
Take, for instance, the Rawlins man
who denied himself and his family their
little luXuries and some necessities that
he might add his mite to give Uncle
Sam assistance in winning the war. BY
close figuring he was able. t purchase
a 800 bond of the First Liberty Loan,
500 of the Second, and 500 of the
Loan. Hasn't he shown himself
II true patriot and u good citizen?
Comes now the Fourth Loan, the
in charge has adopted its
'bawling out" propaganda. and in the
meantime this patriot has had sickness

possible for him to put up any money
the Fourth Loan, although the com
mittee demands that he should come
across with aIiother 500. Now then

The "slacker list" under these cir

Councils of Defense Are
 Urged to Call Meetings
 to Instruct Selectmen

Montgomery. May 10.--(Special )-rn order to prepare the 9001 men who are to be called into the military sery- ice May % for the change in their life, the state council of defense Fri day requested county councils of de- fense to call meetings of all men ir- cluded in this months quota between Saturday, May IS, and Tuesday. May 21, in order that information may be conveyed to them about what will be expected of them and what they may expect of the government and various war agencies.
 - The council proposed that the meet fngs should continue only an hour and half. and that each talk should continue not more than 20 minutes It is proposed to have a military man tell the selectmen something of the army organization, of military discipline and etiquette and furnish informal tion about preliminary studies which may bring rapid promotion to men entsr- < ing the army.
 An attorney will define the soldiers and sailers' civil rights bill, and show how man in military service may he protected against unfair lawsuits foreclosure of mortgages and other legal matters. Red Cross speakers will tell the men what the Red Cross will do for them and their families during their service. If necessary the south ern Red Cross organization will send speakers into the counties for the meetings. A physician will show the men how they may protect themselves against venereal diseases and how im- portant a clean life is to a man in the army.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. May 10.-(Speeial)-A ru- nor became current during the afternoon that the English government would puy some 100000 bales, which caused the ad- vance of % points from last evening. In the last 20 minutes the south began to sell, breaking the market 70 points from the high level The rumor is so con trary to that conveyed to us yesterday hy cable, which stated that further re- strictions would be imposed upon im- ports. that we cannot credit the rumor. However, the opening strength was based upon expectation of frost in northwestern Arkansas and possibly in portions of Oklahoma. Naturally, this prediction gave strength to the market during the morning, as the crop now needs warm, clear weather. After the advancing markets of the past week the outstanding short interest has been greatly reduced.
