TO THE VOTERS OF
CROWLEY COUNTY:

In submitting my candidacy for the
Office of sheriff to the voters of Crow
ley county, feel that statement

Toward the final drive in the sale
of Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds" said
Mr.. Hilvert, "badges were given out
to the purchasers with the inscrip-
tion L have purchased an uncondi-
tional surrender bond and 1t showed
conclusively what the people want
and what they expect to get in the
way of settlement with the murder
Gus Germans and Germany. Many
bought bonds a second time as fur
ther means of showing their uncon-
ditional surrender principles, and in
Cincinnati where there is a large
German population, the quota went
away over the top. Germans in that
city were heavy purchasers.
I'm the east" continued Mr.. Hill
vert, there is a fear that the Presi-
dent might accept a compromise peace
and they propose to do everything
they can to keep down any compro-
mise. 1t is generally talked, too, that
the war will soon end, that Germany
Will surrender Internationally, but
unless she surrenders that way they
are not wanting the war to end. They
do not want an ending of the present
conflict only to have a recurrence of
it in another few years. They believe
confidently that unless it is an un-
conditional surrender that we may
expect nothing else but another fear
full conflict in a very few years"

A good many have paid up and ad-

large majority of them have, but some
have so far given the request little
heed. We must. in a short time now,
discontinue all subscriptions which
are allowed to be as much as three
months in arrears. This is not our
own rule. The government made the
rule for us and on November 2. we
are to make a report on the condition

Through the accident of war, paternalism at present rules supreme" he said. That is inevitable in war time. The one and supreme task be- fore the nation is tow in thew ar. No personal or business consideration must be permitted to stand in the way of the necessities of that task, and no one must for one moment hesitate to submit to them. We are not criticis- ing or complaining of the present facts; we are thinking of the future.
 "Officialdom is entrenched in power beyond what it dared to hope for in it's fondest dreams. And power is sweet. Of1cialdom and those who feed at its table will not easily give it up. It is but human nature that they should come really to believe and en- deavor to induce the people to believe that it is for the best to leave the government permanently much of that which has been confided to 1t in the stress and emergency or war.
 "The government has assumed the operation of the railroads, as it has assumed. probably unwfsely and un- necessarily, the operation of the tele- phone and telegraph lines," he con tinued. The system of pooling for which since years many of the rail- roads had in vain endeavored to ob- tain legal sanction was promptly adopted with the natural result of greater simplicity and directness of service and of considerable savings.

PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER AIDS
 IN FORMING FIRST COMMUNITY CENTER IN THE UNITED STATES
Margaret Woodrow Wilson Guest of Maplewood School District at Meeting Last Night Outlined the Ideas To Be Carried Out By Such Organizations -Recep- tion Followed Meeting.

Bridgeport has been selected by the U. s. Board of Education as the city best suited for the initial experiment. of the establishment of Community centers. Outside of the District of Columbia no organization of the com munities has taken place, but the Ed ucational officials have become So ceT- tain of the advisabiitv of the idea, that funds have been appropriated for he work which will be tried out in this city for the first time.
 Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson was the guest of the Maplewood dis trlct last evening at the meeting in the MapIewooi school, and outlined her views on the subject in which she Is most interested. She said: Every neighborhood must be organized in a bipartisan and nOn-sectarian organ ization, which with elected officers will have charge of the activities car ried on, and be sole proprietors of the centers---the school houses" Miss Wilson endeared herself to the as- semblage by her sweet personality, and her democratic manner After the executive meeting was over, everyone came forward and was pre- sented to the honor guest of the even tng.
 Not the least entertaining feature of the evening was the music by the orchestra composed of pupils of the school, under the leadership of Miss , II Lambert These young children deserve a great deal of credit for the artistic rendition of the songs of the | evening, which would have done credit to q much older organization.
 Mayor Clifford E. Wilson was aE '' pointed chairman of the meeting and introduced the speakers. The mayor ! spoke of the great work expected to result from the meeting. ''It will be" he said. "the bringing together of neighborhoods and communities, and should foster the spirit of democra cy and be the foundation of better things when our boys come back"
 President of the Board of Educa- tion, Elmer H. Ravens, gave an out line of the war activities of the school children in the city. He gave facts and figures which were a revelation to those present. During the past year the children have bought s97543 of War Savings Stamps and have contributed $500 to the Junior Red Cross fund. The Tag Days they conducted netted $3,t72.52, and their contributions to the Italian fund, Pershing Fourth of July fund and the Slovak fund have amounted to $362.38, $4S6-S5, and $447.04 re- spectively.
 E. J. Ward who represents the government in the Community work, and who will remain in the city un- til the movement is established on a working basis, spoke on the actual working of the idea, and the duties of the members and the secretary who will be elected at a meeting to be held next week
 Mayor Wilson appointed a com mittee of five to frame a constitution which will also be submitted at the next meeting. The committee are:
