T ;; Z f J31rf&E7v THE OLD RELIABLE ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Puro MADE FROM CREAM OF TARTAR Local Items Mrs. Chas. Voss and riaugi ei , MissThekla Voss, of Homer, .ei visitors here Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Pizey and son John, of Sioux City, were visit with friends here Sunday afternoon. Woods Hileman came in from Julesburjr, Colo., last week to look after his property interests in this locality, Mrs. R. E. Evans left Sunday noon for McCook, Neb., to attend the an nual grand chapter Order of the Eastern Star, of which she is a past Krand matron. A. li. Hich came down from Dix on, Neb., Monday, where he has served as principal of the schools the past year. The school at Dixon has closed for the year. M. J. Herman, of Homer, has an nounced the marriage of his daugh ter, Mrs. Ida Coleman, to Frank Novy, of Oneida, S. D., where the wedding took place May 4th. Fred Schroeder, manager for the Fields & Slaughter Co., was sent to McLean Tuesday evening to look after the shipment of some grain for the company from that place. The officers and a number of the ' members of the local M. li. A. lodge attended a lodge session in Sioux City last Friday evening, at which the supreme officers of the order were entertained. P. E. Rush, of Ponca, one of the old timers of this county, was in town on business Tuesday. He was a pleasant caller at the Herald office and inquired about many of the old settlers with whom he was acquaint ed. Mrs. John F. Sides returned last week from Lincoln where she went to see her son Frank Sides, a stu dent at the state university, who had suffered a dislocated shoulder while playing ball. She left him re covering nicely from his injury. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Christensen returned Friday from Savannah, Mo., where Mrs. Christensen had been taking treatment for the past month for a cancer on the breast. She has about recovered from the treatment and a permanent cure has been effected. Eric Ansnes and George Barnett came home from Omaha Saturday, having tiuishod their work as jurors in the federal court. Mr. Barnett will resume his work as deputy oil nspector, releiving Dan Stephens Dakota City postmaster, .who has been holding down the job for the part month or two. Geo. 0. Cawley, employed by the Omaha road as repair man on signal towers, was arrested Saturday after noon, charged with assaulting Mrs. Cawley, his wife, and mistreating and abusing his children. He plead guilty to each charge in Judge Mc Kinley's court and was given a sen tence of thirty days in jail on each count. Wra, C. Iversen, of Sioux City, came over last Friday and applied for a marriage license in Judge Mc Kinley's court. A natural thing to do. The judge took him to be of rather tender years, and got him to admit, finally, that he had only seen twenty summers and the same number of winters, and sent him home without the coveted license. Quite a number from here went to Homer last Thursday to help the high school boys defeat the Homer high school team in a game of ball. Dakota City won 8 to 5. The New castle boys came down Saturday and defeated our boys 8 to 4. The game was hotly contested until the last inning, when our boys "went up" and let the visitors score 4 runs on one hit and a bunch of errors. The Commercial club of Homer, Neb., has employed counsel to carry its fight before the state railway commission to compel the Burling ton railroad to provide better facili ties for reaching the depot. The Burlington also has a proposition under consideration to cut through the hill a short distance east of Ho mer, thus avoiding the dangerous crossing at the Omaha creek bridge and leaving a clear route to the de pot. This locality was visited by a rain shower Sunday afternoon, accompan ied by a wind storm that was severe enough to blow down sixteen poles for the Bell telephone company be tween here and South Sioux City, putting the toll lines out of commis sion and delaying traffic on the street car line for a time. Manager Walker was on the job with a force of men and soon had temporary ser vice established, and by noon Mon day the troublo was all straighten ed out.

"Deak" Foltz and family are liv ing at Crystal lake for the present, where he is working for F. A. Wood cleaning up the park and getting it ready for the camping season. The following marriages were sol- emnizeu by Judge Mciviniey since our last issue: Raymond A. Jack son and Alma D. Jackson, on the 5th, and Robert R. Crittenden and Pearl Sluyter, on the 8th, all hailing frtim Sioux City. John W. Tulleys, of Lincoln, Neb., arrived here Tuesday evening to be gin the work of checking over the accounts of the different county offi ces. Mr. Tulleys made an examin ation of the county records a few years ago, and will again bring it up to date. Rev. C. R. Lowe went to Wayne Tuesday to attend a session of con ference. His father, Rev. J. A. Lowe, who has been here on a visit, accom panied him and will go from there to Wilber, Nebr., where he will de liver the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class. Word came Saturday from Wil- merding, Pa., of the arrival of a ba by daughter at the home of Mr. and Mrs.C. A Snoberger; Mrs. Snoberger was lormerly Miss Mildred burkett, and made her home here with her sister, Mrs. R. E. Evans, for a num ber of years while teaching in the bioux City schools. Among those from here who at tended the Shrine ceremonial and banquet in Sioux City last Friday afternoon and evening were, Geo. Wilktns, Fred A. Wood, J. J. Eim- ers, John H. Ream. H. D. Wood. Mell A. Schmied, S. T. Frum, Harry H. Adair and Harry F. Aughey, the latter being one of the class of in itiates. Fire, that is supposed to have started from sparks from a passing train, burned a large straw pile at the Will H. Orr farm just north of town Wednesday morning, and for a time threatened to destroy the farm buildings. The Dakota City volun teer firemen were soon on the ground with the hand-pump wagon and hose and saved the large hay barn near by, thus preventing the spread of the fire. Mr. Orr got off lucky, considering the gale that was blowing at the time.

The counting was done early in the Sun day school hour. We are not sure, hut think probably eleven people came in after the connt- was made. Wo ate positive, however, there were more than enough in the'yard and the ante room to have made up all the shortage. We have had the people on the ground, anyhow, for our lOO.at Sunday school, that is. some gain. Sorry to have lost the count the first time we had the op portunity to come thru with the 100. But we will make it soon. Call at tention to the Sunday school services to those you find staying on the out side. Ask tiiem to come in. Just on the outside. That is where so many people are with regard to their salvation. They are good peo ple, as good as any in the world, but they have not come in,, They are not far from the kingdom of God, but "onething-thoulackest." ''fol low me," Jesus said it. We are saved by, faith in Christ and to be a follower is a necessity. The boys and girls chorus favored the Salem congregation with an an them again last Sunday which was appreciated by the hearers. The Missionary society will meet next Friday afternoon with Mrs. W. A. Niemeyer, at 2 o'clock. The pastor will be absent a couple of days this week attending Confer ence at Wayne. He will rend a pa per on Home Mission Activl .os i.nd Progress. June 11 will be Childr "is Day. Shall we have the song service fur nished by our Nachusa Orphanage? It would be a fine thing if you would make an offering for this work some time. Nachusa has no regular sup port, is maintained by voluntary of ferings. They have 34 children. We have our benevolences in fine shape, and it would be a glad thing to senu.iNacnusa someining. Confirmation will be held May 28, both at Emmanuel and Salem. The Salem congregational meet ing was changed from Saturday p. m. to Sunday a. m., just after preaching service. Emmanuel has resumed night preaching again, commencing next Sunday at 8 p. m. Rev. C. R. Lowe. .'Lost Purse containing $25.00, between Nacora and John C. Sullivan farm, May 3rd. Return to Albert Mullin Hubbard, Neb., and receive reward M. E. Church Notes." On Sunday a special Mothers pay sermon will be preached by the pas tor. Service will begin at 11 a. lit. Special seats will be reserved ttK mothers. An invitation is given all mothers to attend.' , Sunday evening at 8 o'clock the Epworth League will.give a special Mothers Day program consisting of songs, recitations, readings,, etc". Short address by the pastor on "Fa mous Mothers." The Ladies Aid will meet with Mrs. F. J. Aucock at the parsonage at 2:30 on Friday. Weather permit ting a ten cent lunch, will be served on the lawn. An open invititation is given. Let everyone come who can. We will be glad to see you. We hear with deep regret that the second son of Rev. E. E. Hosman, our district superintendent, has just passed away, following a paralytic stroke. Dr. Hosman was on ithe point of leaving for general confer ence when he was called to Texas by a telegram. I am sure that we all join in extending to him-our deepest sympathy in his bereavement. The pastor greatly enjoyed the de didcatory services at Ponca on Sun day, April 30. The people there have just cause for thanksgiving when they remember the old shell that used to be their place of worship. A, fire is not always a catastrophe, in fact a few more might result in giving us some more modern, and more beautiful churches. Well done Ponca! May your spiritual church become as beautiful as the one made with hands. F. J. Aucock, Pastor; For Stxlo Six bushels Reed's Yellow' Dent seed corn. Hung up before frost. Price $4.00 per bushel.

It Is estimated tlmt Congress by Its Inck of a proper military policy, lins Bent unnecessarily to their dentil by direct causes alone over three hundred thousand of our ell '.ens. How long Is this to continue? Only ndequnto pre paredness will stop It up to ISoO tuo United States Las had ono year of war to every three of peace. During the life of our country we hnye employed 4,095,215 soldiers In wars ngalnst a total enemy of 2,853,000. Wo hear arguments against pro paredness on tho grounds of mili tarism. Militarism is a state of mind. When a nation has reached the limit of its expansion and competition bo comes excessive expansion is essential and luBt of conquest results. The United States today has nowhoro even nearly touched tho limit of its expansion, and vro havo no desiro for conquest. While we have still uncon quered our own resources it Is im possible to become militaristic. We aro too busy developing our own pos sibilities to think of conquering others. Security Is cheap at any price, but unpreparedness is tho most expensivo luxury in the -world. Switzerland was prepared and is inviolate. Dolglum was unprepared. Now look at itl Even assuming that preparedness costs half a billion this year (duo to our previous negligence we aro forced to mako a spurt), if wo consider it as a form of insurance and consider tha capital and lives saved it is a low rato of premium. As a business proposi tion, what would you think of a man who neglected to maintain his factory flreproof if ho knows it is in a dan gerouB neighborhood and apt to catch fire and when ho knows that such a fire would result in tho loss of lives of many of his employees? What would bo dono to tho directors of a company who deliberately shut their eyes to such a condition and allowed their factory to become a flretrap and did nothing to prevent it? Congress to day stands in the position of such a board of directors. It is a peculiar framo of mind theso anti-preparedness peoplo have got themsejves Info. "Tho ocean is do fenso enough," and they forget Galll poll and Salonlkl. "Preparedness brings on war," and they ignore China. "Our present system is good enough," and they overlook our history. "Our navy can't bo licked." How about tho fact that It was licked in tho last maneuvers? "Preparedness is im moral." Tho Bible shows us tlmo after time that preparedness ngalnst un justifiable attack 1b not only moral, but also essential. And so they go. All havo different reasons jib to why preparedness is wrong, and tho only thing which they seem to possess In common is an Infinite ability to talk without a knowledgo of facts. Pre paredness is a business proposition for this country, and it simply means being farslghtcd and unprejudiced enough to learn by our experience and current history. Wo have a decentralized govern ment. Our system of political organ ization is such that it is necessary to impress congress with what wo want beforo they will start to glvo it to us. Connreos will vote for preparedness when Its members realize that the peo ple demand It, and tho way to mako them realize this Ib to writo and tell them so. Tho war college and tho navy general board havo submitted reports Bhowlng what wo should do to mako this country invincible. Theso reports aro tho result of months nnd years of study by tho best military and naval authorities in tho country. They should be adopted. Every citizen owes a duty to him solf, his family and his country to learn all ho can about present condi tions, to discuss preparedness with his friends and show them why it is es sential and to write hit congressman and senators and have his associates also write them and state that they want Congress to adopt the reports of the general board and war college.
