OGALLAH

Hot and dry these days.
Corn is fine and everybody Is living
on roasting ears.
Not much excitement at the Pri-
mary election but good many vot-
ed.
Several from here are attending
camp meeting and deriving much
good therefrom.
Revival meetings will continue in
the Opera House every night this
week and all day Sunday.
Mrs Matte Scott and daughter,
Lillian, of Kit Carson, are visiting
lere and attending Revival meetings.
Mrs. Dr. Funderburk and little son,
returned from an extended visit to
indiana Monday night. She says
they had lovely visit but glad to
get back.
Don't forget the Chautauqua to be
held in Ogallah commencing August
21st. Even better program is prom
ised than we had last year. Season
tickets on sale now by the commit
tees.
The opening dedication services
for the new Christian church were
held Tuesday at $50 a. m. A good
crowd attended. Mrs. C. H. Benson
and others were down from Wa
Keeney.
We understand DR.. Funderburk
and family and brother, Joe, are leav-
| ing US this week to enter Government
service in their profession. We are
sorry to lose these good people but
wish them Gods speed.
Last Tuesday work was commenced
in dead earnest on the Christian
church; many of the members form
| ing bee and all the women serving
an excellent dinner at Grandma Yet
ter's to which about fifty people were
served.
Last Tuesday morning Verey Har-
vey's team became frightened and
ran over Oswald Griswould with
twenty-five sacks of cement on the
wagon, bruising him somewhat. Dr..
Funderburk was called and reported
nothing serious. The team ran away
and tore the wagon up pretty badly.
Never before in the history of
Ogallah has such a successful Revival
Meeting been held. All denomina-
lions taking an interesting part In
the Gospel work, for instance last
Sunday night, despite the fact of
camp meeting in Wa-KeeneyO we had
choir of twenty-nine members. Rev.
and Mrs. Parish deserve much praise
for their splendid work in delivering
the Gospel. Almost fifty conversions
have taken place since the meetings
started and still the good work goes
on. This is your last chance as the
meetings must close Sunday night

Asia Everson was unique type of
girl. She had begun by running fast
motor cars and boats. They had not
satisfied her. and she had taken up avia-

sea diving herself. To win her Ever

Bertram had only tested the apparatus

that I don't understand it myself-at

me?" hastened Everson.
IT should be delighted to help you in
any manner that I can," returned Craig,
heartily.
In the excitement I had completely
forgotten the dispatch from the Star,
but now I realized that here was the
only way of getting the story.
Asia Everson and Norma were over
joyed at the news that Kennedy had
consented to accompany them back to
the wreck. Accordingly Everson lost
no time in preparing to return to the

American newspaper correspondents
and other American observers who came
out Of Germany after the breaking of
of diplomatic relations nearly a year
ago were agreed that the railway sys-
tenn was in the process of breaking
down. Everything, of course, was subor-
dinated to military necessities. Com
merce and Industry were ruthlessly sac
rif1ced, yet while Germany could keep
on building submarines it did not ap-
pear that she could keep on building
locomotives and making steel rails, and
relaying them to the degree that was
necessary to maintain her war activi-
ties at the fullest.
1t is true that troops have been moved
from one part of the empire to another,
and that considerable bodies. whole
army divisions, have been transported
from the eastern to the western front
since the Russian collapse But there
are indications that this process has
been much slower than formerly
and that the railway strain has
been much greater than during the first
two years of hostilities.
While Germany manages to cover up
much that happens within the empire,
it is known that the railway situation
is one OF her greatest problems in
a
in which German foresight was not
able to anticipate everything that
might happen. So far as this phase
of the situation develops, it is not like
" that the United States has much to
learn from Germany in the operation
Of the railway system OF the country
by the government as a war measure.
There are. nevertheless, some fea-
lures of the German railway policy
that are of interest in this country in
view of the results which may follow
the experiment Of government opera
tion of the railways. The German
railway administration was centralized
through the imperial railway depart
dom of action left to the different
branches of the system-that is. to the
different states or Kingdoms of the en-
were Ths aar f The ahpper
in what were known as the
district advisory councils. In most of
the states the membership of these
councils was partly elective and partly
appointive, the appointment of men,
bers being made by the crown. In
Prussia the minister of public works
was the official head of the railway
system, but the councils We're created
provided for the representation of COM
merce. agriculture and forestry.
~
Taking the empire as a whole. traffic
was provided for through means of a
traffic association. Freight rates were
determined by general conference
called under the authority Of the rail-
way administration. Subsidiary to this
was a permanent tarir commission,
composed of representatives of dozen
or more of the leading railway boards.
In preparing the tariff there was a
traders' committee. on which were Eve
representatives OF agriculture, manu-
featuring and commerce. These fnen-
bers usually were selected By the

quest of the orders of the Meat Ad-
ministration. Last Monday at con-
ference in Chicago between Dean
Cooper, of the College of Agriculture,
and NJ. o. Hughes, Special Agent OF
the College, represeting the meat pro-
ducers of the State of Kentucky, and
the representatives of the various
stock yards it was agreed that all
good hogs from $50 pounds up and in
GLIDING roughs should bring not less
than the stabilized price, with differ
entail of so cents for Louisville, and
20 cents for Cincinnati. This means
that the average at Louisville cannot
go below ST. per cwt., and at Cincin-
natl the average must not go below
| $3.50 per cwt.
The hog market has been stabilized
at $3.50 for December. The Novem-
Der market is the same. The Janu-
airy price will probably be better than
that. The holding of hogs under 165
to 10 pounds is urged in order that
the price may be maintained, and the
channels of trade kept open.

SUGAR Showed
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tion's War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted
Famine at Home in Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu'
lively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol.
low the injunctions of the Government,
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning With
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
fell to 100000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of a sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump
ton Of sugar. BY 1t we have been able
TO bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cant
sugar crops WIRE in sight.
Now the nation Is in a position Sc
that If we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to 60
far afield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use OF
sugar very considerably II must be by
our continued sharing with then
through limiting our own consump
ton.
