Every town in Northeastern Ne
braska will have to take off their
hats to Randolph. Some rivalry has
been going on through out this Sec
ton in Red Cross sales and the olive
ones" of that city put on a sale last
Saturday and gave out the word
that they were going to set a new
high mark. Wayne had recently
held an eight thousand dollar sale
and Randolph was anxious to beat
her sister town on the south. When
the sales for the day had been totaled
il was found that the 100000 mark
had been reached. A wash woman
donaed five dollar bill which was
sold several times for ttoal of $525.
August Huwaldt donated registered
bull that was sold twice, the first
time bringing $270 and the last time
$3.50. A small American silk flag
brought $1,7O0. The business houses
were all closed from 10 a. m. until
6 p. M, and everybody worked fol
the good of the cause. 1t has beer

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Every time | go to the cities / see
something that makes me smile, and
the other day took ride on the In
terurban car and | smiled several
times as | watched the folks place
themselves and ante up their nickels
that Horace Lowry might live l have
watched the advertising signs in the
cars for years, and | like to read
cleverly worded ads wherever I see
them, but on this particular day
whether it was something | had eat

seemed so funny to me. | planted my
self in the center of the car on the
long seat and just opposite me sat a
great big woman who should have
paid by the pound as she was occupy
ing seat room for three. | viewed her
with admiration, mingled with awe
for she was sumner She had her
face and hands and her arms beau
tifully decorated with cold cream
talcum and grease paints and her
eyes were penciled and belladonnaed
and altogether she made a fine ad-
vertisement for a beef trust. In the
course of the survey my eyes glommed
the sign that appeared just over her
head and it ran thusly: "Sherwin and
Williams paints cover the earth,''
and the very next sign read "Swift's
Premium Hams" This led me to look
still farther and the very next seat
was occupied by hatchet-faced lit
tie woman who was trying her very
best to look even life-sized and just
over her head were the words Gun
eeda Biscuit" and I believed it. Then
came a bald-headed man and just
over his sky-piece were these words

out in the aisle and she wore barber
pole stockings and over her head
were the words: "It pays to adver-

are doing it now" A big colored gen
tleman sat next and over his African
countenance were the words adams

came woman with big mouth and
she must have had a meek husband
as it was going to beat the sound of
the car, and just over her head were
the words in large colored letters,
"Everybody's Magazine" thought
that was a corker and as smiled to
myself, a fellow came in with a girl
and planted right down next to me,
and he called her Tuesday, she was
so meatless. The next fellow was
too full to notice, and he was labeled
"Benz' Pickwick Rye" The fat woman
on my right sat under an ad that
said "Gold Dust dissolves the grease"

Milrov has an uncomfortable habit
of tightening her belt every now and

all the rest of Redwood County draw
long breath and get ready for a
plunge in order to get anywhere near
,Milroy! The latest "stunt" pulled off
by those loyalists who comprise the
population of the village was the ac-
tion of the Farmers Elevator Com
pany of Milroy which voted to pur-
chase Liberty Bonds in the third loan
to the extent of $5,000.00-the first
purchase to be made by any corpora
zion in the county. This is a very
generous purchase and sets an excel
Tent example for other firms as well
as for individuals.
Milroy may have perfectly human
faults, but stinginess and disloyalty
and failure to support war work are
not in the list. Recently this COM
munity made over $3,800.00 at Red
Cross auction sale, the support given
both the first and second bond sales
was generous and there has been nc
lack of financial support nor labor

farmers who are in need of help

the Minnesota Public Employment
Bureau, which you will fill out and
return at once. On this blank the

of this at once.

The case was submitted by the Sec
rotary Of War in letter in which he
said that II was necessary to canoe!
many outstanding contracts for mu-
nitions so that manufacturers might
turn speedily TO commercial produc-
ton. He pointed out that the con-
tractors had huge sums tied up in
working capital. and that It was neces-
sary for them to turn Immediately to
other work and keep labor employed
without break. Consequently It was
proposed TO terminate existing con-
tracts on basis which would amount
substantially to compensation for en-
penditures incurred and profits not TO
exceed 10 per cent. OF the cost of the
unfinished articles on hand, provided
the contractors could obtain promptly
substantial portion of this sum.
Under this arrangement il was pro-
posed that the War Department de-
termine the minimum sum that would
he due the contractors and pay This
amount, leaving the balance to be adj
justed in the future. The Secretary Of
War presented a contract form do.
