HOW THEY LOOK AT THE MATTER DIFFERENT OPINIONS OF DIFF ERENT PEOPLE OF THE DRAFT BOARD WORK. From Friday's Daily. John I. Long, a former Cass coun ty newspaper man now living in Clarks, Nebraska, writes a letter to the Lincoln Journal in which he points to the discrepancy in the draft figures, using Otoe and Cass coun ties as examples. Seventeen per cent of the young men registered in Cass county were placed in Class 1; forty-five per cent of those register ed in Otoe county are placed in Class 1. The two counties are, as Mr. Long says, almost alike as re gards population. industries and towns. Plattsmouth and Nebraska City are not far apart in population, while the rural districts are similar in every respect. He believes, or intimates, that the fact that Otoe county had vigorous newspapers to "wield a club" over the heads of the members of the Local Board had something to do with keeping the classification where, by all rights, it should be. Insofar as The Press is concerned it declines the "honor. Most assuredly it has never attempt ed to "wield a club" over the heads of the men who constitute the Local Board of Otoe County. But The Press has a lingering sus picion as to the real reason why this county has "batted a thousand" in administering the draft machinery. In the first place the Board is fortu nate in having some patriotic men and women working on it, who place government's demands first and the registrant's cause second. In the second place, these same members are not afraid of public censure, as the facts show. In the third place, they have been uniformly fair, court eous and painstaking, as this news paper has had occasion to mention before. In the fourth place, the work has been done exactly in accordance with the rules and regulations, the records have been beautifully kept, the questionnaire period was handled as though the army were doing it; and there has been a uniformity of method and oneness of purpose that is marvelous to contemplate and beautiful to behold. The Press does not know just what methods have been used in Cass county, but, apparently, there has been too much leniency, comparing the results with those attained in Otoe county. This is very bad. be cause some registrants in that county will "crow" over some in this coun ty and give the impression that tl: boys here have not had a square deal, all of which, of course, is untrue. No. the newspapers have not at tempted to wield any influence in the matter, at least this newspaper has not. It is merely glad to record now and hopes posterity will have an opportunity to read it as such that patriotic impulses on the part of the members of the Draft Board have brought the results attained. Ne braska City Press. The Journal's mission is not to wield a club, in fact it has no club, for we are kept pretty busy endeav oring to secure news to furnish the readers. We know one thing that the draft board here has had much work to do. as we suppose it has had at other places, and the amount probably very few know or appre ciate.

It is reported that when required to place an American flag on his home a certain person in this city, made the remark. "I will put it up, but I do not like to have to come down to putting up an American flag." Now there is a situation that when one is cornered in a wrong, that it seemingly breaks his pride to be com pelled to do the right thing. Then there is another view of the case, and it is this. When a man, what ever his former proclivities may have been, thinks it is coming down to it, to put up an American flag, it is time that he should seek a climate where they fly different flags, for this is no place for a person, who thinks it is coming down to fly "Old Glory." Get the spirit of Americanism, or get to the place where there is no American spirit, there can be no com promise between patriotism and dis loyalty. HERE FRO!! EROKEN BOW From Saturday's Daily. M. E. Lewis and Floyd Arnold ar rived in this city this morning from Broken Bow, w he re they are now making their home.

D Q YOU R Gdlize that right here in pjattsmouth you have a store with a purchasing power of more than a million dollars? This is a fact and the realization of it means much to you, especially in these days of high cost on every hand. We sell for less because we buy for less. That's why we sell for instance men's cotton flannel gauntlets at 15c, 2 for 25c; or men's heavy fleeced lined union suits at $1.35, or men's dress and work socks at 2 for 25c, or bos stockings at 20c, or men's heavy blue overalls at $1 .75, or best shop caps at 1 5c; boys shirts at 50c; men's shirts at 65c and many other staple items which we could mention and which you readily recognize are not to be had elsewhere at the price. Our suits and overcoats are corres pondingly under priced; our hats and fine dress shirts and extra trousers and neckwear and so on throughout the store are here as low as you can buy them in the biggest city. Now, How Can We Do This?--s imply because we are part of a big buying organization The United National Clothiers composed of picked clothiers in 16 states, whose combined purchasing power is over a mil lion dollars. These purchases are made under the direction of merchandising experts in one enormous contract and command a lower price than the single buyer could possibly expect. Isn't this reasonable? Isn't it logical? If you have not been getting the benefits of it, the fault is yours. The goods are here for i ou and we should be glad indeed to demonstrate the saving. fcjrWVW m,.m,'mHn'r mtev C... ...... 3 tMVM,r 1 . !..'" ,, J HALE AND HEARTY AT 87. Fr'in S;i t;. l iiay's Iuily.
