Where Organization Counts

In the recent Liberty Loan cam
)Qaign in Iowa there was consider
able variation in the results in
1.-The eleven banking districts into
(which the state is divided. The fiji
tia district, which includes the
eleven counties in southwest Ia,
! stands in achievement in between
40 and SO per cent ahead of its
nearest rival for first place. The
| two districts that stand next to
this one are the Sioux City and
Fort Dodge. Both these districts,
organized for this campaign on
I the Pottawattamic county plan of
war service association with a
military bureau as the hub to the
wheel.
| 1t is understood everywhere and
in every other line of business
that organization counts. Good
team work OH the part of bunch
of mediocre ball players will win
over an aggregation of all stars
4 unless the stars do team work.
\ System brings efficiency and out
of this comes results. This simple
rule holds good as we'll in the con-
duct OF a liberty loan campaign as
lit does in the conduct of a
farm, store, factory, railway
or government.
The Pottawattamie plan is sim
pie. Ten good men and true are
first selected as a bureau or a
council to direct campaigns for
money raising and to direct other
matters required to be done by
the government in the support Of
! it's military policies. The next step
! if the selection OF fifteen of the
best men in every township and
precinct i'll the county who will
1pledge themselves to, put over in
their respective districts all cam
|paigns for funds which have the
lapproval of the Government. Now
these men do noc serve in one
acampaign alone but enlist for the
period Of the war.
1 In practically every precinct sc
organized these executive COM
mittees divide their territory in
such q way that in day or two
\ days at most they can complete g
lcanvass for bonds or the Rec
Gross or any oother program tha
ie submitted TO them with the APP
prevail of the government.

should be extended all over Che
country. Some of our people dc

And they must have 8 siekly smile whom they observe the bouyant style in which we make our boast that once week with martyr zeal we cut our mutton, pork or veal, and shoo away the roast

Tho supreme court of Nebraeha has just drawn. little closer the legal fence that ineloses man in. the exercise of his dominion crer al things; animate and inanimate.
 This tirae the court holds that the husband is not justified in skipping his wife,. oven when he is surs that it is flor her e'~n good,
 Nor can he make tke interference of a third party pretext for the applica-
 tion Of corrective discipline. Neither can he use forcs OF otherwise eeepee

 she should remain home. Thus does, ths rising tide of feminism lift it's tapping waves above the ancient 3landnarks of donessicitr. Tims was " hen man not only had the right. but was adiured te exercise itrtethe benefit of his spouse, by adninist tering corporal
 punishmen, whom he deemed it adyis- able or found it necessary to preserve family discipline
 Ths earliest invasion of this right
 was when the courts limited the size
 of tho rod to- be used. Since then, step
 by steP this bulwark of liberty and dominion has been beaten down. until
 now in Nebraska ths best poor man

 This telegram was i'm mediasely phoned by us to- both Flat City aud Dis. Otter, where it was put on bulletins for publieity's sake.
 On Monday last, The Pioneer is reliably informed that a nes- sage was received at Flat City by s representative of a dredging outtitr from & firm of Fairbanks attorneys, to the effect that two decisions had been rendered in which the eight-hour law was de- clared unconstitutional, and to disregard it entirely, And there you are.

Road Building Policy

Washington, d. c., Jan. 25.-Sec-
retary Houston, of the Department
of Agriculture, in communication
to the American Association of
State Highway Officials, has set forth
squarely the policy which he thinks
should be followed in highway con-
Struction during the war Secretary
Houston says:
so far as it is practicable to do
so, this department Will urge the
maintenance of the highways al
ready constructed; the construction
and completion of those highways
which are vitality important because
OF their bearing upon the war situa-
uon or for the movement of COM
modities; the postponement of all
highway construction relatively less
essential or not based upon impor-
tant military or economic needs. The
department is preparing to suggest
to the State Highway Departments,
the preparation of a schedule of
work for the Federal aid projects for
1918, in line with this policy"
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced, there has been sent out by
the Office of Public Roads of the
Department of Agriculture, schedule
forms on which the States are re-
quested to set forth their proposed
Federal aid work for the 1918 work
ing season. These schedules call for
a description of each road, the char
acter, quantity and rail haul of the
materials to be used, the probable
cost, the amount of Federal funds
desired, the specific purpose of the
its bearing upon the
war situation, and what effect a de-
lay of the work until 1919 or later
would have. With the inform. alton |
thus assembled and classified, an eff !
ficient road construction program is |
assured While it is impossible to |
make any definite statement regard !
ing the transportation of road ma !
terials, The expectations are that the |
transportation situation will be i'm
proved and that the shipment of J
such materials for essential projects [
can be made.
Road construction and mainte-
nance in the United States involve
a annual expenditure of some $780,
900, 900, and there is scarcely a sec
ton of the country that is not seri-
ously affected by marked disturb
ance in road work.

LEASING OF. OYSTER BEDS
Important Measure Before c. B. And
T. House Committee.

State House, Annapolis, Jan. "a.
The proposition to lease the ma
tural and other oyster beds of the
Chesapeake Bay and it's tributaries
to the highest bidders in order to
make us the deficit in the State
Treasury to follow loss of saloon Ii
censes, if prohibition prevails, came
up today in House Committee on
Chesapeake Bay and Tributaries.
Mr.. Dawson, of Caroline county,
appeared before the committee to
advocate bill introduced by him
giving residents of the lower section
of his county the right to take oys-
ters in the Choptank river, a privi-
lege which Dorchester and Talbot
are not disposed to grant. Mr..
Wright said that if the oystermen of
Dorchester and Talbot are determin-
ed to exclude oystermen from other
counties he would support the bill
to lease the oyster lands to the high
est bidders.

To Tag Every Shovel

Washington, Jan. 24.-With the
aid of 21,350,000 school children a
nationwide plan of coal conservation
will be inaugurated next Wednesday
by the United States Fuel Admins
tration. 1t will be Tag-Your Shovel
Day and the school children will per-
form a patriotic duty by tagging ev-
cry coal shovel in the country. Presi-
dent Wilson's shovel at the White
House will be tagged, as welt as the
shovels of Governors, Mayors, mil
lionaires and wage-earners.
In the minds of the Fuel Admins
tration officials and the boys and
girls of the country agYour-Shovel
Day will be a serious occasion. In
the words of Fuel Administrator
Harry A. Garfield, Its main purpose
is to help supply thanraehsne power
to help the man power win the war"
Governors, Mayors and teachers all
over the country are expected to
unite in arranging for school holi-
day next Wednesday-one of the
few special national school holidays
ever proclaimed. The tags and pos
ters are now being turned out by the
million in two of the greatest print
ing establishments in the country,
and children everywhere are eagerly
awaiting their opportunity to do
something for Uncle Sam.
The tags, on the face, bear this
wording: Save that shovelful of
coal day for Uncle Sam" On the
reverse are these hints on saving
coal:
Il. Cover furnace and pipes
with asbestos or other insulation;al-
SO weather-strip your windows or
stuff cracks with cotton.
.. Keep your rooms at 6S de-
grees (the best heat for health
"3 Heat only the rooms you use
all the time.
Il. Test your ashes by sitting. If
you find much good coal, there is
something wrong with your heater.
See furnace expert.
rs. Write to the maker of your
furnace or stove for practical direc-
tions for running economically.
''6. Save gas and electric light as
much as possible-this will save coal
for the nation"
This tag day will be unique in one
thing-no cash contribution will be
asked for Instead the school chill
dren will demand that householders
save money-save money for food,
for war savings stamps, for Liberty
bonds. and at the same time add to
the Governments coal pile.

NOTICE
TO
Water Consumers

Water rents for quarter ending Ap-
ril first are now due and payable,
and if not paid before Feb. 1st, will
be in arrears.
We hope our customers will come
forward and pay their rent promptly,
as we need the money badly.
1t cost US more than twice as much
to pump water in 1917 as it did in
1916, and notwithstanding the fact
that we have cut out all dividends to
stockholders, we are finding It very
hard to collect money enough to meet
current expenses.
We are also finding that it is TAX
ing much more water than usual to
supply the town, and we suppose it
is owing to the fact that so many OF
the people leave their spigots open
to keep from freezing, but we hope
they will discontinue this practice.
as it takes fuel to pump water, and
fuel is something We must conserve,
as the time may come when we will
not be able to get coal at any price.
Please call at the office, 122 High
street, and pay bill promptly.

Farmers To Get Nitrate

The U. S. Government has pur-
chased one hundred thousand tons of
nitrate of soda, which it will sell to
farmers at cost, which is $3.50 per
ton, plus the State fertilizer tag,
which is ten cents per ton, and the
freight, which will probably be from
Baltimore. The following local COM
mittee has been appointed for Dor
chester county to handle the matter
here: S. L. Byrn chairman, Cam
bridge; Walter B. Johnson, cashier
National Bank of Cambridge, and w.
c. Bradley, of Hurlock.
Each of these gentlemen is sup
piled with literature and full infor-
nation covering the matter, and al
so blanks which farmers may obtain
for the asking, on which to make out
their orders. Anyone needing any
nitrate of soda for crops this spring
is urged to see one of these gentle
men right away and take advantage
of this foresight of our National
Government. All orders must be in
the hands of some member of the
committee on or before Feb. 4th, so
it is necessary to act quickly.
