Lutheran Church Notes
DAKOTA CITY-SALEM
Kev. C. H. Lowe.
The Christinas program will bo
given nt the churches next Sunday.
At Salem at 11 o'clock a. m., unci at
Emmanuel at 1 p. tn.
At Salem a cantata will bo
rendered. This is a fine piecfc
of music and our young folks
hnve it well in hand. You will
enjoy hearing it. Make a special
ellort to bo there. It ia tho young
folks of our own community and
church who aro giving it, and wo
are interested in it for that reason,
not as a bit of performance, but .as
a joyful worship on their part.
At Emmanuel the program offered
by tho board of education will bo
given. And we will enjoy that.
Tho offering made at this time is
for the maintainance of our schools
and colleges. No church can be
greater than her schools. Our
church needs her schools. If we go
east wo find the Lutheran church
has more prestige than in tho west.
She has members and influence and
tho reason is that thoy have had
schools there for over a hundred
years. Ohio has had her school for
over seventy-five years. While in
Nebraska we have had one for
twenty-eight -years. And m these
twenty-eight years our church has
made considerable progress because
a good number of men have been
put into the field as pastors and
many of our young men have re
ceived training there. If our church
had had men long ago to look after
her interests when Lutherans were
coming into this country settling it
up our church would Iftj stronger
today than it is. And what is more,
our boys and" girls need christian
education. If our parents in the
church were more careful in the
choice of their schools for their chil
dren and choose in harmony with
their christian faith it would be bet
ter. We have a number of young
folks who may be going away to
school before long. And when they
go, do not forget they go from
christian homes. You have main
tained your church that they may
have christian training along with
your own christian advantages, and
so do not send thorn where they un
learn what you have tried to give
them. Choose a christian college,
preferably your own. Midland. We
aro supporting it, so let us send our
young folks there. Let us make a
good ottering tor our schools at
Christmas. Remember the Red
Cross and join that, but do not for
got our schools at this time when
they are having their day of the
year.

HOW AI10UT IT?
Jackson, Neb., Dec. 18, 1917
Mr. John II. Ream, Editor of The
Herald: According to the report of
the State Auditor $22,849.40 was
spent by the Food, Drug, Dairy and
Oil Commission for the months of
July, August and September of this
year, and still the price of oil and
gasoline is going up and the quality
going down.
Why should drivers on oil wagons
be on their routes for years and
never meet the oil inspector? Can
anyone oirer any excuse for such
management as that?
Who is footing the bill?
You know, Mr. Taxpayer; and you
don't have to make a guess. Why
is it tho taxpayers have to dig up
$8,.188.11 more for the year 1917
than the year 1916? Why are the
taxpayers of Dakota county asked
for Forty-Three and One-Third per
cent more money for 1917 than 191G
from the State of Nebraska? These
foxy gentlemen who make estimates
of state expenses only levied six and
one-tenth mills before election last
year, and then came before the tax
payers for votes telling them how
"clever" they were in managing the
state's finances; then right after
election whoop the levy up to Eight
and Forty-Eight Hundredths mills,
which will compel the taxpayers of
our county to dig up $S,'188.11 more
money irom our county in a single
year.
How do you like that for manage,
mentV And Mell A. Schmied is one
of our state officials appointed by
the Governor to inspect oil and gaso
line for this part of the state; and I
personally saw two petitions that
Mr. Schmied sent to different indi
viduals, trying to fix it up so that
his office would be a six year term
instead of two years. What do you
think about that, Mr. Taxpayer.'
How do you like to pay this extra
tax? How do you like the gasoline
we are getting? I understand that
Oil Inspector Schmied is getting n
an average of over $100.00 per
month for his oil inspection services,
and would suggest that some one
should bo employed to go into the
State Auditor's and the Food, Drug,
Dairy and Oil Commissioner's offices
at Lincoln and look up some of Mr.
Schmicd's reports and ilee exactly
what he is drawing and publish it
in The Herald, if Mr. Schmied ob
jects to publishing it in the Eagle,
which ho evidently does or he would
make a monthly statement and re
port this valuable information in his
"all tho news all the time'TO Why
docs he not publish this? Air. Tax
payer, don't you think you have a
right to have this information when
you are the one who pays for it?
