nual grand chapter Order of the
Eastern Star, of which she is a past
Krand matron.

past year. The school at Dixon has

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,

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

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

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.

who has been here on a visit, accom
panied him and will go from there

merding, Pa., of the arrival of a ba
by daughter at the home of Mr. and

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.

Lutheran Church Notes
DAKOTA CITY-SALEM
There were 89 persons at Suuday
school at Salem last Sunday. 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.

tor. Service will begin at 11 a. lit.

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.

MURDERING MEN BY DELAY.
Preparedness More Humane Than Am
bulance Corps.
PART IV.
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.
Speed Is essential. Do It now!
