Credit Enlistments.
The table from which the net quo
tas were compiled shows that all en
listments in the national guard and
the regular army up to June 30 have
been allowed as credits. The instruc
tion to governors from the secretary
of war accompanying the table di
rects governors of the various states
to allot the state a quota as given
among the exemption board district;:
so that each board in each district
will know exactly the number of men
to be furnished by the district in fill
ing the state quota.
Contrary to expectations, the gov
ernment has allowed credit for the
total strength of the national guard
including all these men who were in
the service prior to April 1 and who
have been retained. The figures are
given as follows:
4(57,000 War Volunteers.
Total strength of the national
-uard on April 1, 1117, 1(M.2'.2.
Enlisted in the national guard be
tween April 1 and June 30, 183.7
Enlisted in the regular army be
tween April 1 and June 30, 117.974.
Total credits allowed for -l('."i,074.
This means that according to the
estimates of the government officials
the United States now has enrolled
or under arms, approximately 407,000
men classed as war volunteers anil
therefore constitute credits to be al
lowed to the states from which they
enlisted.
PROFESSOR BROOKS WILL
PROBSOLY ACCEPT OFFER
FROM NEBRASKA CITY
From Saturday's Daily.
The otfer of the superintendency
of the Nebraska City schools which
has been made to Superintendent W.
G. Brooks, of this city, is being seri
ously considered by Mr. Brooks, and
it is rot improbable that it will be
accepted, as it is an advancement
along school lines- Nebraska City lias
a splendid school system and up-to-date
and modern buildings and equip
ment in which they take a just pride.
The loss of Mr. Brooks at this time
would be felt very much in this city,
as he has become familiar with the
building plans for the new high school
building and his adice and assist
ance in the work of preparing the
new building would be incalculable if
it is possible to retain him here. The
new position offered, however, is an
inducement that cannot well be
passed by.

GASS COUNTY LADIES
RESPONDING TO CALL
From 'Saturday's raily.
Several times in the past few
weeks the ladies of the American
Bandage committee in this city have
received inquiries from out in the
county in regard to the establish
ing of branches of the organization
in the different towns to assist in the
good work of preparing supplies for
ihe soldiers at the front. Yesterday i
a number of the ladies from this citv i
motored out to Murdoch to establish
the first branch organization, and
ready to join in the work, and a num
ber have already been engaged in the
work of securing supplies. Here the
enthusiasm was quite marked and the
large number present at once pledged
themselves to get busy and see that
the Murdoch chapter was made one
of the most active in the county. En
route home the Plattsmouth ladies
made a short stop at Manley, where
another chapter va established, and
here the ladies were assisted very
materially by Father W. D. Higgins
cf St. Patrick's church, who is one
of the greatest Red Crop's workers in
the county. The ladies at Manley at
once took up the formation of their
chapter and will have one that is
active in every way and which will
a-si.-.t in seeing that Cass county is
doling their part in the war relief
work.
The Plattsmouth ladies are plan
ning a trip Tuesday which will in
clude the towns of Eagle and Union,
to get the ladies of these places act
ively interested in the preparation of
bandages, surgical dressings and corn
fort kits which the bandage commit
tee is preparing for the soldiers of
the nation that will toon be on the
battielield. It is hoped to have every
town in the county enrolled in the
bandage work, which will bring a
great help to supplying the needs of
the hour for surgical dressings of
all kinds.
LETTER FROM LOUIS
KIRSGHENBLATT, STA
TIONED IN CALIFORNIA
Prom Saturday's I:iv.
II. Waintroab and v. ife of this city
have just received a letter from their
son. Louis Kir.-chenblait, who is now
in the wireless service of the govern
ment and who is now stationed at
Mare Island r.avv vards. The letter
describes a part of the destruction
caused by the recent explosion on
Mare I.-land. The letter is as fol
lows: Vallejo, California.
Dear Parents and All:
This morning a very serious acci
dent (.cent red here on the island, and.
fearing ou have read newspaper re
ports and think something has hap
pened t me, so am writing mainly
to let you know I am safe- A pow
der magazine with about ten tons of
black powder exploited. We are quar
tered a mile away and there was no
damage done to our building, al
though buildings thiee blocks away
in the opposite direction and even
across the water in Vallejo were dam
aged. We arrived on the scene about
ten minutes after the explosion and
a horrible sight met our eyes. The
buildings for two blocks around were
laid flat. There was nothing left of
the magazine except a hole in the
ground about fifteen feet deep and for
blocks around there were small
pieces of brick and concrete. The
building was of brick and not a whole
brick could be found. I helped pull
out one mrin wh one leg all shot to
pieces- It would wiggle around like
a dishrag. In one frame building an
o'lieor and wife and two children
were blown to pieces. They have
found no tr::ce cf the guard and more
than likely he was blown to bits. I
do not know how many were killed
and, wounded, but saw plenty being
put into ambulances and taken to the
hospital The concussion was awful
in the explosion. A ship passing fi
the b;v was damaged bv the force of
the explosion."

Mr. Isaac Can troll, B. No. 2, Terre
Haute, Ind., writes "My experience
with B. A. Thomas' Hog Powder, is
that it has given good results in help
ing those that were sick and keeping
those well that were not sick. It does
all that you claim for it. I would not
have had a sick hog if I had used it
socner." II. M. Soennichsen, Puis &

From Saturday's Daily.
Owing to the increasing number of
workers at surgical dressings in the
war relief rooms in the Coronada
apartments, it has been decided to
keep open the rooms for work each
day during the week, except Satur
days. Beginning Monday morning at 9:C0
o'clock the surgical drassings days
will be as follows:
Mondays and Thursdays Gouze
work.
Tuesdays and Fridays Bandages,
absorber pads and fracture pillows.
Wednesdays Comfort pillows and
chausons.
The Campfire Girls are enlisted in
the work of making comfort pillows,
and hope to have several hundred
ready for shipment in a short time.
A letter from Fiance recently report
ed that in one hospital there are 4,000
wounded soldiers without a singl?
pillow and at present -bundles of
clothing and rags are used. As those
pillows are made of old material, any
one can help in donations to this
god cause or by donating money.

is most gratefully received. It has

If you read the following letter you will order
a Worm Steering Gear attached to ycur Ford
Twin Fails, Idaho, June 'J'-, 1917
Sprague Mfg. Co.,
GOG So. 14th St., Omaha, Neb.
Gentlemen: Last week I was out on the road right behind an
other Ford, a new one. and honestlv he was not in the road 10 ft. ct
a time. He was continually from
perfectly able to stay right in the
place for the wheels.
Before getting your Worm Gear I never dared to pass anyone
from behind, and when meeting a car I was on needles and pins for
fear my car would strike a hole and run into the other car. The roads
here get very rutty and deep with dust around the loose soil and many
times I have twisted my Steering Wheel half ways around only to
see the road wheels keep right on going in the opposite direction. I
am husky and strong, but that did not help any, or even if I did turn
the hand wheel it had no effect on the road wheels except on smooth
roads, and then when finally the wheels did come around, they can.e
around with a snap, just like a rubber band that is let go o!F- Then
the car would fly ofF the road and the other side before I could stop it.
Once while my wife was driving it right on Main Street of Buhl,
one of the front wheels struck something, the car turned right across
the street and if it had not been for the engine stalling when the
wheels struck the curb the car would have got right up on the side
walk and run right into a plate glass window. Once I did see a Ford
that hopped right up on the sidewalk and knocked a woman down;
at that time I blamed the driver, but I know now that he could not
help it, as they are liable to do that any time.
I would have disposed of my Ford this Spring if I had not got
your Worm Gear. Now I would not trade it for nothing less than an
$800.00 Car.
I sure shall ha glad to boost for you and you can refer to me
at any time.
Also another important matter, I am sure that your Worm Gear
saves its cost on a single set of tires, as that old time lack of control,
running into everything and skidding all over the road, as well as
most of the available country on the side of the road, surely must
be hard on tires- Rc-spectfullv,
