FOIL ATTEMPTS
TO WRECK TRAINS
BEARING TROOPS
Distractions Are Scientifically
Placed at Three Points Near
River Sioux, Iowa, on
Northwestern.

An attempt to wreck a Northwest.
ern passenger train was prevented
Tuesday afternoon by the alertness of
the track inspectors, who discovered
the distractions just in time to sig
mai the approaching train, running
at speed Of nearly 60 miles an hour,
between River Sioux and Blenco,
la. Indications point to an attempt
to wreck troop train.
At the point designated the North
western has several miles of new
rails strung along the track to re-
place the old steel, but no track work
ers are engaged in the immediate
vicinity. Inspectors equipped with
track motors patrol the line. making
round trip of the assigned territory
once in two hours. They had passed
the point two hours previously and
found the track clear, but on the
return they ran upon a series of OBJ
structions placed with criminal cum
ming. In three places two of the loose
rails were placed on the track with
the ends crossed so that the other
ends would not contact with the op-
posite track rail- If the rails had
been placed across the track they
would have short-circuited the block
system and displayed red signals at
both blocks.

ON AMER|CAN|SM
Lillian Lancaster of Kearney
Receives Prize for Best
Answer on Meaning
of the Word.

A 12-year-old girl is the winner ii
The Bees Americanism contest
which closed June so. She is Lilliar
Lancaster of Kearney, Neb. She will
receive a prize of SIS.
Following is her answer to the
question, What is true Americanism
and what does it mean to be true
Americana"
True Americanism Is real love for
America. Love that will make us
stand for and be ready to give any
thing, everything, even life, to help
her. .s-.t-
A man who is willing to give up
his business, his pleasures, his
home and family and to give his life
for American is true American.
The business man who spends his
vacation on the farm helping the
farmer instead of spending his time
in sports, or man that will not
stand by and hear slurring remarks
made about Our government, our
president or army without making
the person stop or reporting him to
the officials, is real American.
A woman who leaves her occu-
patton and home and risks her life
on the battlefield caring for the
wounded soldiers and orphan chill
dren is a true American. A woman
who spends all her spare time knit
ting and sewing for the Red Cross
is an American. A woman who
bravely and cheerfully sends her
husband, brother or son to war
without discouraging him in any
way and then takes his place and
does. his work is true American.
The children that used to buy
candy and toys with their pocket
money and now spend it for Thrift
stamps and work. ito buy more are
real Americans. II ~ -,6 = v
The men and women living at
home who invest their money in
Liberty bonds and give money to
the Red Cross are Americans. Those
who keep all the food laws and use
substitutes for wheat and sugar are
real Americans.
All who believe in America first,
last and always, right or wrong,
and are ready to give everything for
her good, are true Americans.
