'-"TS NATIONAL GUARD AND REGU LARS' RANKS TO BE FILLED BY CONSCRIPTION IF NECESARY The enlistments in Company C of the Fourth regiment in this city have not met with the hearty reception or result that it should, as this is one of the best companies in one of the best regiments in the federal service. Those who feel inclined to enlist cer tainly should make up their mind this week to get into the ranks of the Ne braska boys. It is intended, if the en listments do not fill up the ranks of the National Guard and of the regu lar army to use the first of the con scripted men for use in filling up the regiments to their full war strength. To those acquainted with army life, the addition of conscripted men to the ranks of the regulars and national guardsmen it will not be the most en joyable for those who are drawn by lot to have to serve with the ranks of men who have volunteered of their own free will. It is far better, with the necessity of filling up the regi ments, to come forward and be placed on an equal basis with the volunteers who have offered their services for the defense of their country, rather than to be compelled to enter the regi ments where only a few will be from the conscripted army.

COUNTY DEFENSE COUNCIL HOLDS IN TERESTING MEETING The Cass County Defense council met Tuesday afternoon at Weeping Water to take up several matters of importance along the lines of the preparations for the conservation of the resources of the state as well as for the adoption of plans for the carrynig out of the conscription act and register which is to be held on next Tuesday, June 5th, throughout the nation.

A half million dollars' worth of perfectly good farm ma chinery is thrown in the scrap pile every year in Nebraska. Farm work is the hardest work there is on machinery. Castings break, bearings wear out, shafts bend and break. Things get dull and pill hard, gears rattle, smash, bang and crash, paint gets dull. Many farmers throw away machinery and buy new, be cause they arejiot aware that we can in-nearly every case re make such machinery equal and in many respects better than new. We do not care how bad your machinery is smashed or worn, they all look alike to us; we re make them as good as new and save you money. A dollar saved is a dollar earned; keep your money at home and you may get it back again, besides it helps us to employ home labor. Put your machinery troubles up to us; we have the best equipped machine shop in the country; if you don't believe it, call and see us. Visitors are al ways welcome. We make everything in metal. Now is a good time to overhaul things for the spring rush. WESTERN MACHINE AND FOUNDRY. . v. . L. G.-SilAw. Plattsmouth - - - - Nebraska ALVO NEWS ITEMS Dr. Muir was in Plattsmouth Thurs day.
