Dawley's haste in arranging mat

DaWleyS naSJe IN arranging mat
tiers is due to the expected arrival of
Clay Burgess, son Of the late banker,
He takes charge Of the bank on the
strength Of the spurious document
and decides, to prevent exposure, to
have Clayton Burgess murdered as
the simplest method Of getting him
out Of the way
To this end he sends two Of his
men to waylay him, but young Bur-
ges, has spent a couple of years in
visiting the out-ofSthe-way corners
OF the world and has been in tight
places before. He worsts his assail-
iants, killing one, but is severely
wounded.
By subterfuge, later, when the
young man has reached Palo and
learned of his fathers death, Dawley
disarms him and seeks to have him
heldTon a charge Of murder for kill
ing the man whom he shot in self-des
Tense.
Burgess, who is fast weakening
from the effects Of the wound he re-
ceived' in the fight, manages to get
away on his horse. The swaying fig
ure Of the Looping horse is seen by
Della Bowen, young ranchwoman,
with whom Davis has found refuge
Just as he is about to fall, she assists
him into her home. Here he is rec
ognized by Davis, and by Della nurs-
ed back to life and strength.
It happens that Davis, fearing foul
play if he revealed his secret, had in
his possession all this time the viii of
the banker, which gave everything to
his son. In this will is mentioned
some property in Williams Cache,
where the elder Burgess once resid-
ed, but which had become to lawless
for one to live in with safety. Clay,
fully recovered, decides to redeem
this town and use it as a suasive
force in his right to obtain his rights
at Palo.
On his advent at the saloon in that
town, in which are congregated many
who left Palo on account Of the Daw-
ley domination, it is learned that he
is the man who "put it over" on the
feared bully, and he wins considera-
BILE favor. But he has aroused the
enmity Of one DENLY because Of in
quiries about a woman, Belle Carson,
of whom DENLY is jealous and whom
he keeps virtual prisoner in his
house. He meets the woman and
promises to get her back to her peo-
pie. He turns the tables on DENLY as
the latter is about to assassinate him,
and takes the woman to Della for
safekeeping, while he rides off to
make arrangements for her return
home.
In the meantime Dawley has visit
ed Della and made love to her, only
to be spurned. He boasts he will
have his way finally, and returns to
enforce his threat while Burgess il
away. Davis defends the woman but
is left dying as Dawley rides off with
her, after overpowering her.
Belle returns from the fields, takes
in things at glance and rides To
meet Burgess, to tell him of what has
transpired. Burgess directs her To
ride to Williams Cache and summon
his friends to his assistance, then ira.

GETTING DOWN TO BRASS TACKs.

y ET'S get right down to brass tacks for a
1 minute or two and let US strive to realize
- for all time that this community never
progress and develop and prosper as it should un-
less we all work together.
There is too much petty jealousy; too much ac-
cusing of public spirited citizens with Interior
motives; too much of that internal and Contempt
bic spirit of LET George Do It."
We have too many of narrow vision; too many
five per cent minds-those who can .hink in moth
ing but terms of dollars and cents and fail entire
ly to catch the proper vision and the broader
outlook.
If we don't watch out, and take advantage of
our opportunities, we are going to find ourselves
occupying seats hopelessy in the rear. Good
towns and communities are not made good by
some special dispensation of kindly and benefit
cent Providence. They are made by the sweat
and toll and spirit and cooperation of the people.
Think it over please and then think it over
again!-Fred Hadley.

PATRIOTISM.

~ ATRIOTISM, pure and undefiled is the
- handmade of religion. Love of country is
twin to the love of God. The instinct of
country of patriotism, dwelling in every human
breast, is the abiding and Interchangeable source of
every nations strength and safety and the inspec-
ton of the most enlightened civilization has been
the inspiration of all the people of the earth thru
all the ages: "Dulce ct decorum est pro patrla
mort" Strong as love of country is instinctively
it can by cultivation, be made stronger in each
individual and thus become source of greater
national strength It is part of the education
and experience of true man of the real business
of life that he should be patriot. The instinct
of the love of country is natural the parental
or filial love or as the attachment for home. As
the bird returns to the nest so every fiber OF
well-educated and well-developed swell IN
sympathy with associations of family, home, COM
munity, state or nation No man liveth to HIM
self and no man dieth to himself There can be
no well-rounded character in selfish individualism.

Supreme Court.

SOME SERVICE

Here is the place where worked before they
told me I'd have to go;
I'd climbed along to pretty fair job-it made
no difference though
They needed me-or the nation did-and they
didn't make excuse
"Come on they said, land we'll show you where
you'll be of the greatest use"
So they sized me up for khaki suit and show
ed me the bunk drew,
And they taught me to hate the German brute,
which wasn't so hard to do.
And they hung a beautiful service flag up here
where / worked before;
I've just been told there amt job open for me
no more!
| wish that could have seen it wave-it must
have been mighty fine;
There's many boy who is in his grave whose
star was there with mine
They hung it high on the outer wall, wonderful
thing to see,
And because went when I got my call they sew
ed on star for mel
took my chance as the others did, and it wasn't
no holiday;
have eaten dirt. and I've slept in mud out where
there was hell to pay
And they hung up a service flag back here,
beautiful thing, I've heard;
1t was meant to show how loyal they were, how
deeply their hearts were stirred!
Their cheers were loud when I left the town;
acknowledge that was thrilled
But the war is done and the flag is down, and
they tell me my job is filled!
I'm sorry their glorious service flag no longer
will be displayed;
What lot of meaning it must have had for the
heroes who got it made!
They put star on the thing for me-now wasn't
that noble, too?
At present there doesn't appear to be much left
for man to do;
I've walked the town till my feet sore; I'm
lonely and sick and broke
And guess my star is fallen star-and their
service flag was joke!

4 WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY
WE HAVE won the war
w We have yet to win peace 'sor+, Will. :,

WYE HAVE won the war.
M We have yet to win peace.
w We never get anything worth while IN
less we earn it and pay for it.
We now have the chance of earning peace by
paying for it.
Think of ia chance of earning peace that
IS going to last one that will benefit u.s. our chill
dren and our children's children.
And how? By sacrificing little and loaning
the results of our sacrifices on the best security
in the world at fine rate of interest.
Look the facts squarely in the eyes. A year
ago. it didn't seem possible that we would have
a chance to buy our last Liberty bonds on April
81, 1919 It looked as though we would be then
only well started in pouring out our blood and
treasure.
Now, the war is over, and we don't even have
to pay for it.
All we have to do now is to pay for peace, pay
for it by depriving ourselves of few luxuries
and investing our savings in an enterprise that
will lay broad and deep the foundations of last
ing prosperity.
Looking back to the dark days when Germany
seemed so far from beaten and when every day
meant death, danger and destruction, it is easy
to recall the extravagant phrases which then
described the passion for peace
Ihere were many NORTHWESTERN 1dIhelS WIN
would have paid fortunes to have ended the war
one day sooner-if that day their sons were to
be sent to the firing front. There were many
Ninth District mothers who would have thought
no financial sacrifice would be too great if the
war could have ended in 1918-as it did end.
Peace then seemed to be so wonderful thing
and so priceless.
Now we can have that priceless thing by loan
ing our money to pay for it.
The dollars we lend will go to the boys who are
in France and in camps, will go for their wages
and their comfort.
They are needed to pay for the guns, the air
planes, the ships which obtained over night
and which spelled doom for the boche.
Are you fit to live in peace? 1t you are, you
will gladly thankfully pay your share by subscrib-
ing to the limit for the VICTORY LIBERTY
LOAN.

THE LOAN OF THANKFULNESS.
By M. E. Harrison.

Y UST suppose you are driving along peaceably
in your automobile not speeding nor driv-
- ing carelessly, yet making progress for al
that; suppose that, rounding a turn in the road
you suddenly see chasm ahead, made by wash
ed-out bridge.
In this crisis you accept the one chance of es-
Gaping humiliation. You automatically shut off
the power and jam the brakes while the mach
inc skids up to the edge of abyss and stops. After
intense moment of waiting, you all step out un-
hurt. You find, however, that the effort of stop
ping has ruined two expensive tires, burned out
your brake Innings and damaged some minor bra
ces.
If this really happened to you, what would you
do? Would you bemoan the damages to your car
and regret the prospective repair bill? Or would
you thank God that you had been able to save
precious lives, no matter at what expense? If
you are regular man, you would be devoutly
thankful and when the time came would pay the
expense bill thankfully.
So each and all of us ought to feel toward the
coming Victory Liberty Loan.
year ago now, just previous to the great enc
my offensive-the effort which Germany promis-
ed would quickly end the war in favor of auto
cracy-a certain Prussan nobleman gave an
outline of his country's peace terms. They in
cluded, in addition to the annexation of Belgium
and northern France, the payment into the kai-
ser's treasury of indemnity of which minimum
shall be Forty-five Billion Dollars, to be paid
by America if France and Great Britain are un-
able" These brazen terms also included condi-
tions that would have left the menace of auto
cracy frowning at us across the Atlantic and a.
waiting favorable opportunity to strike and
subdue America also.
How different it is today!
Exactly like the folks in that automobile, we
Americans, we people of the Ninth Federal Re-
serve District, have all miraculously escaped a
disaster, dreadful in it's potentalities for evil.
As nation, we have not only escaped almost
unhurt but we have emerged with added riches,
renown and prestige. Never again will any auto
crat dare flaunt America. Succeeding genera
tions will be safe from that peril. It has cost
Uncle Sam tidy sum of money and it will cost
some billions more to Finish the job"-to re-
pair the damage caused by the effort of suddenly
stopping the war. But what is mere money COM
pared to the saving Of lives and the maintenance
of the great principles upon which this Republic
is built?
We ought to be glad and thankful we do not
have to pay some Of that minimum Of Forty-fiye
Billion dollars" We ought to be glad and thank
ful we escaped disaster last spring and summer

it's many ramifications. After reading the article
we are much in the dark as ever as to the real
wrong doer in the and fell as little justified as
before in forming opinion. The sufferer in
the case is the Village of Morgan. "a House
divided against itself cannot stand" is just as
true of towns big and little, as it true of the
United States when Lincoln made the above state
ment Anything which serves to widen the
breach between the factions which exist in every

atty in her midst it should be properly punished
and by the Federal authorities But it should
be proven disloyal beyond question of doubt
first--and circumstantial evidence is not always
proof.

Did we create nation by listening to those
