Allen News: The land firm of Hnllin & Caulk last week completed another big deal when they sold two farms to Swan A. Swanson, of Claiks, Neb. The two farms in question were the Ilenning Hallin farm east of Allen, and the Mrs. Win, Clough farm one-half mile west of Allen. Mr. Swanson evidently has great faith in Dixon county land values in order to be willing to pur chase two farms at one and the same time. Wo warrant that he will never see the day when he will be sorry he owns hind here. The same land linn also sold the Richard Twainley place to Owen Triggs last week. Omaha World-Herald, 2nd: Coun ty Commissioners A. Ira Davis, O. W. Fisher and John Feller of Dakota county and County Clerk Wilkins, have asked Senator .Hitchcock to do what he can toward getting an ap propriation through congress at the coming session to construct some kind of a protection against the in cursions of the Missouri river into Dakota county soil. The claim is that in Covington precinct the old Muddy is on a rampage and that the banks are being cut away at a rapid rate. The inhaFTitants fear that the approach to the South Sioux City bridge will be eaten away if the government doesn't get busy and confine the river in certain bounds. Sioux City Journal, 31st: Contro versy over the tolls for the combi nation bridge will be submitted in writing to Col. Willard Young, of kansas City, Mo., United btates en gineer. Both sides will submit proofs in writing and when these have been considered, Col. Young will come to Sioux City to talk personally with both sides. Proofs and affidavits for the patrons of the bridge will be submitted next week, according to Ward Evans, who is representing them. The bridge company will submit its proofs, at about the same time. A date for a hearing will be fixed at some later time. The data sent Col. Young will be considered first by him and then sent to the war department for approval. E. A. Burgess represents the bridge company in the controversy. Pa trons are asking for a reduction of the bridge tolls to one-half the pres ent amount. Walthill Citizen: Attorney Robert P.

Hcrten The Kensington club and husbands were entertained by Mrs. W. H. Mason on last even ing, the occasion being her birth day anniversary. Decorations wore in keeping with the day, witches, wildcats, and owls taking possession. The men folks hugely enjoyed the fortune telling and altogether it was a laughablo time until a late hour. The friends kindly remembered the hostess with a number of useful gifts. At the close a two course luncheon was served. Souvenirs of owls were given each guest. All left Wishing the hostess many good times in future years. Sioux City Tribune, Jird, Charles Tschampel, a German, of Homer, Neb., is in bad with his follow towns men. It is alleged that Tschampel is strongly pro-German; and that he is opposed to the war on the kaiser, and that he was "ferninst" the I. erty loan movement. So radii., has he been that he has aroused H ' anger of other llomerites and ci..i. to show how they felt about it the front of his pool hall was decorated wittua copious supply of yellow paint during the night. Oh one the windows the word "slacker" was outlined. The sentiment against Tschampel and his pro-Gorman tend encies is very strong, and the citi zens are aroused to a pitch of indig nation. The people who daubed the yellow paint on the store front have not been apprehended, and it Is un derstood that no effort is being made to find them, as nearly everybody seems pleased with the action. It is said that secret service men are in Homer investigating the status of Tschampel, and if enough evidence is gathered to show that he is an alien enemy he will be arrested and interned during the duration of the war. Tschampel has resided in Da kota county about a year, and it is not known whether or not he is nat ralized citizen as there are no rec ords in the office of County Clerk Wilkins to verify the fact. Several of the younger people, it is rumored, have made threats that "something must be done," even if they have to do it themselves. All kinds of ru mors are current. Reports from Homer are to thaeffect that Tscham pel is aseticent as a sphinx con cerning his attitude on the war question since hi3 place was painted. ;.;..: '" J JhJiJ-J.JmiJJi i J RED CROSS NOTES Dakota County Chapter : .:..

Stidworthy, of Homer, was presented with a comfort kit by Dakota County Chapter before leav ing for Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Mich. rrr' - i Tho Power of Sincerity. Though a, man must bo sincere In order to bo great, ho need not bo great in order to bo sincere. What ever may bo tho slzo of our brain, tho strength of our powers, tho talents of any kind with which wo aro gifted, sincerity of heart, or belief, or Ufa is posslblo to us all. It Is of Itself a Jtfnd of greatness which, la Bplto of many other drawbacks, jvlll mako It-, self felt. rIho honest, upright man, who lives openly, fearlessly, and truly, professing only, what ho feels, upholding only what ho believes In, protending nothing, disguising nothing, deceiving no one, claims uncou- sclously a respect and honor that wo cannot glvo to any uegrea of powor or ability, wielded with duplicity or cunning. If wo could correctly dl vido tho world into tho slnccro and tho insincere, wo should havo a much truer estimate of real worth than wo generally obtain. It is tho fashion tat gaugo people by what thoy believe, rather than how they bellovo it. Yet, Important as Is tho former, tho latter Is much moro so. Exchange.

In Thero wero a great many steps In tho development of tho present form of writing music. Tho custom of wrlt- Ing melodies rather than trusting to tho uncertain help of memory for their preservation was first observed by the Greeks. Indeed, at ono time, tho pre serving of music In n tangible, vlslblo form was deemed so necessary na to bo tho subject of a epeeial papal bull. Tho writing out of music was ac complished by the tisonof many differ ent sets of slgus and symbols, In tho various countries. Nothing really, deflnlto and lasting, though, was done In this direction until tho fifteenth cen tury, when tho first real "printing of luelodics nnd harmonics was accom plished In Germany. This was raado posslblo by tho Invention of tho mov ublo metal typos.
