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. ARE IN ATTENDANCE

From Saturday's Daily.

WE DO HOT LIKE THE SPIRIT.
From Saturday's Daily.
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.

rived in this city this morning from

RED CROSS NOTES.
From Saturday's ;u!y.
A time clock to record the num
ber of hours women work was in
r;tal!ed in the public workshop today.
Interest is keen among Red Cross
workers to put in enough hours to
qualify for the different honors.

The local chapter have adopted
these Red Cross honors. Several of
the Red Cross workers are trying to

Germany and have several and are
entitled tc these honors.
I'Ir.ttsmovth women have about
completed ."( of the Split Irrigation

been highly 'recommended.

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.
