Hunt For Bold Robbers

At an early hour THURSDAY
morning Larry Larson was arous-
ed from sweet slumber by a
hunch that all was not well at tht
bank. Sure enough, on peerine
carefully from behind drawn cur
tains he discovered light shin.
ing from the bank window
Hastily donning his clothes and
taking his trusty .38 he slipped
over to the Moxness and O'Brien
homes and aroused those gentle
men. They were soon out. Mox
armed for the fray, but Charlie
could find no shells for his gun.
Still he consented to join the ex-
pedition and at least lend his
moral support. With proper
caution they started out to round
up the bold, bad yeggs. Sur
rounding the bank they let loose
a charge or two from the heavy
artillery to let the Williams know
the jig was up and that they
might as well come out and holler
"kamerad." No one appeared,
however, and, taking their lives in
one hand and their guns in the
other, the boys made an investiga-
ton which disclosed the fact that
all was serene about the premises.
The retreat was sounded and the
boys made their way back to their
respective homes, first vowing
eternal secrecy as to their stirring
adventure. How did we find
out about it? Well, when it comes
to getting the news I'VE never
Sleep"
P.S. The light Larry saw was

DIR. KOehler Enlists In
Uncle Sans Service

Som etime ago Circles only
doctor H. L. Koehler offered his
services to Uncle Sam and last
Saturday received a telegram
from Washington, D. G., to report
at Fort Riley, Kansas within ten
days. Mr.. Koehler asked to enter
the service in October but they
evidently wanted him at once.
The doctor has asked for 80 days
extension so that he can kind of
get his business affairs straighten-
up, but unless he receives word
today will leave tonight.
In receiving the call to serve
Uncle Sam our popular young
doctor gets commission OF lst
Lieutenant. 1t is with genuine
regret many in this section see
him 90 as he is needed bad right
here at home where there is no
other doctor inland, but all admire
his 100 percent Americanism by
voluntarily offering his services
to go and help relieve the pain
and sufferings of the boys who
are doing their bit "over there.
DR.. Koehler has tried his best
to secure another doctor to take
his place while he will be gone, but
so far has been unable to get one.
However it is hoped that some
one can be gotten before very
long.
Good luck you Doc, and
here's hoping for safe and early
return.
Later-Wire received tonight
says Come at once" and Doc, is
on his way.

Some Amazing Costs

Uncle Sam has four great shell
! loading plants in operation. 1t is
figured they will turn out 179,00(
shells day, or $4,000 shells q
month. In addition there are five
private plants turning out shells
at the rate of o,25O,OOO a month
SO that the total monthly produc-
ton is 100000 sharpnel and high
explosive shell a month of various
sizes.
This means 100000 shell a
year. The prices range from
$1OO to 81 10000 each. The best
indication of the amount expend-
ed on shells Is the appropriation
of $2,65O,OOO,OOO this year for
artillery ammunition.
The cost of a barrage or of a
bombardment varies, of course,
with the amount of ground cover
ed and The duration of fire.
The official figures supplied the
United States War Department
by the British Government on the
cost of the seven day lombard
ment during the attack on the
Messines-W -Wytschaete ridge in
June, 1917, show that $63, ,791, ,235
was expended for ammunition.
In this case there was a front
of about 1900 yards (about 8
niles. 1t was under a heavy
fire from guns of all calibers.
The preliminary curtain of fire,
laid down for six days, required
/ ,25O,541 shell of all sizes, which |
cost $43, 1861 ,535. On the seventh
day when the attack was made
7O7,834 shell was fired, at a cost
Of $2O,424,7OO. This made a total
Of 1,961,375 shell, costing
S63, 1925. A barrage laid down
10 repel a small raid may cost as
much as $4,000.
1t is reported that Germans
used $1,8OO,OOO,OOO worth of
shells in their Somme offensive in
1916. This is half the amount
'aised in the last Liberty Loan.

Liberty Loan
Drive Starts 28
Dawson Counties Apportionment An
Even $1OO,OOO.OO--- Circle To
Raise $1,000

Saturday September 28th is tn,
opening day for the big drive o.
the fourth Liberty Loan. Daw
son county's apportionment fol
this drive is an even hundred
thousand dollars. This amount
ought to be easy to raise. In the
third Liberty Loan drive oul
share was 'eighty-one thousand
and Dawson over-subscribed 22e
percent of her quota.
In the next drive new system
will be used in this county.
It is the allotment system.
This means that every man will be
allotted to buy so many dollars
worth of bonds, and this allotment
ofcourse will be made to be with
in reason for every man.
So prepare now to do your
share. We have a war to win
and we who are at home must
finance it. Many boys from this
section have already made big
sacrifices and are nov" over there"
fighting ready to give their all
won't you who are home lend"
your money? We know you will.
We will subscribe our allotment,
and now lets see how much more
we can take.
The quota for the Circle district
the fourth Liberty Loan has been
fixed at $5,0O0.OO That is the
amount our people are to buy of
the total which must be sold if the
government is to successfully !
finance, during the next few
months, our part in the terrible
conflict the kaiser and his hordes
have brought upon the world.
Ofcourse the people of Circle,
are going to buy that amount, and
the only question is how much
more and how quickly are we
going to do it?
Circle people are going at this
bond-buying proposition in just
the same way that our Circle boys
are going at the Heinies IN France.
We are not going to wait until the
fight is over before we get into it,
and we are not going to stop at
the fixed objective of $5,0OO,OO
any more than our boys stop when ,
they reach the first German
machine gun nest.
We are going to put Circle
1ollars back of Circle boys and let
them work together so that in the t
end the "world may be a decent :
olace to live in" /

Our Flag

"A thankful mind, when it see
nations flag, sees not the flal
only, but the nation itself; AM
whatever may be its symbols, it
insignia, he reads chiefly in tn
flag the government, the principles
the truths, the history, which be
long to the nation that sets i
forth. When the French tricolol
rolls out to the winds, we Sc,
France. When the new fount
Italian flag is unfufled, we SCI
resurrected Italy. In the United
Crosses of St. Andrew and St
George on fiery ground we see
old England.
This nation has a banner too
and whenever it streamed abroad,
men saw daylight bursting on
their eyes, for the American flag
has been the symbol of liberty, and
men rejoiced in it. ;"
Henry Ward Beecher evidently
thought that without the flag,
there can be no future for our
nation; and we may add to any
nation. As good citizens we love
and respect our flag, and especial
ly in times Of war it is, not only
right and fitting, but much more
a sacred duty, to display the ban
ner under which we live, move,
and have our being. 1t stands
for freedom and justice at home;
and abroad today, the stars upon
it are stars Of hope to pining
nations.
We wish to instill into the
hearts of young America, a feel
ing of love, reverence and admira-
ton for this flag of the free.
Some time ago the writer noticed,
in passing little schoolhouse in a
rural community not far from Cir
Gle, that a flag staff had been
erected on the schoolgrounds, and
from the top floated Old Glory.
Well done! That schoolboard
ought to have words of commend
alton. And have we not been,
lere at Circle, rather negligent in
his respect? On our last Memoir
al day there was no flag floating
rom our schoolhouse-the only
,ublic building in town-although
many Of our men had at that time
made their supreme sacrifice. On
Tag day the same was noticed. 1t
would be well if we endeavor in
he future to correct these things.
And would it therefore, be
resumptuous and deserving a re-
uke to suggest that, our school
oard shall decree that from hence
orth the Stars and Stripes shall
loat from our schOolhouse every
ay> while school is in session?
