The Red Cross is serving noon
lunch at the court house during the
four days of the agricultural short
course this week. This work is in
general charge of Mrs. Clyde Crego
and assistants.
Mrs. Jake Sides went to South
Sioux City Monday evening to or
ganize a class in surgical dressings
for the teachers and other young
women who are unable to do Red
Cross work in the afternoon.
The knitting is progressing well,
but it fs absolutely necessary that
more women sew and make sur
gical dressings. There isan insistent
demand for more pajamas and bed
shirts and for gauze dressings. Re
member our boys in the service are
"on the job" every day, and its lit
tle indeed for us to give one after
noon each week to work for them.
Make up your mind now to set aside
every Tuesday atternoon to come
and work for the Red Cross, "Their
Only Hope."
"Now we're in the war to win
It's each one's duty to begin
To give each day an hour or two
To help our Sammies see it
through."

W. L. Ross Dies
From Heart Failure
Death claimed one of Dakota City's
most prominent citizens Tuesday
evening, when W. L. Ross, merchant
and city mayor, succumbed to leak
age of the heart, after a nIr hig
illness of a month.
Mr. Ross came to D'-'nt-i City
with his family in 1893, i. j wr sev
eral years was manager of the Ed
wards & Bradford lumber yard.
Be was elected county clerk of Da
kota county in 1903 aw1 served in
that capacity for eight years. Fol
lowing his retirement from the
clerk's office he entered into the
drug business, which he conducted
for about two years. He purchased
an interest in a bank at Dixon, Neb.,
and was cashier of that institution
for a year or more, but gave up the
position on account of his health,
and returned to Dakota City and re
entered the mercantile business
which he followed until his death.
Mr. Ross was an enterprising,
level-headed man, and always stood
for the best interests of tho town
and county. His friends were as
numerous as his acquaintances,
and in matters political, social and
otherwise he was always found on
the side of tho right.
Mr. Ross was born in Dayton, Wis.,
June 9, 186G He came to Emerson,
Neb., several years prior to locating
in Dakota City. He was married to
Miss Jennie Engelen at Emerson,
who with two daughters, Mrs. Con
rad Jacobson and Miss Marie Ross,
survive him. He is also survived by
two brothers, Ed L. Ross, of Miran
da, S. D., and Frank G. Ross, of
Windham, Mont., the latter of whom
was with him when the end came,
and two halt brothers Elihu and
Vincent Ross, residents of Wiscon
sin. Mr. Ross was a member of Omadi
lodge No. 5, A. F. & A. M., of this
place, and also a member of the W.
O. W A. O. U. W. and Macabee
16'dges in each of which he carried
life insurance.
Funeral services will be held Fri
day afternoon at 1:30 from the
home. Burial will be at Emerson,
Nebr., and the Masons will be in
charge.
Jacob Hager Dies
From Exposure
The lifeless body of Jacob Hager,
a resident of this place, was found
Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock at
the river's edge at the foot of Pearl
street in Sioux City, by J. P. Fair
banks, a resident of Sioux City, who
was passing that point. The body
was removed to the Nelson under
taking establishment and was identi
fied by papers found upon his person.
Mr. Hager had left home some time
Saturday afternoon, and was seen
on the street car en route to Sioux
City. That was the last seen of him
until the finding of the body. A
wallet containing seven dollars and
some bank deposit slips was found
in his pocket, which removes any
probability of robbery or foul play.
His relatives here were notified,
and his brother-in-law, Wm. A. Nie
meyer, identified the body. An in
vestigation was made by Coroner
Elmer A. Blood, of Sioux City, who
announced that the man had died
from exposure, after falling down
down the steep bank.
Deceased was -1(5 years of age, and
had resided on a farm just south of
Dakota City since coming here with
his parents in 187(5. He is survived
by his mother, Mrs. Sarah Hager,
and three sisters Miss Anna Hager
and Mrs. Wm. A. Niemeyer of this
place, and Mrs. Edward Rockwell of
Omadi precinct.
His death comes as a shock to his
relatives, and especially to the aged
mother, who is left to fight life's
battles alone. The Herald joins with
the friends of the family in extend
ing sympathy in the hour of their
bereavement.
Funeral services were held Wednes
day from the Lutheran church in
this place, conducted by Rev. C. R.
Lowe. Burial was in the Dakota
City cemetery.

M. E. Church Notes.
F. J. AUCOCK, Pastor.
We are clnd that folks arc appre
ciating tho "daylight services."
Most of us can attend at 4 ociock u
we wish to. Let us make these ser
vices worth while for the short time
they are held. A little effort will
bring n recompense. You will be
glad that you came, so will we.
Owing to weather conditions and
sickness the superintendent had no
one to meet him at the quarterly
conference. As the business was
merely routine work no meeting was
held. The unfortunate thing is that
owing to his desire to become ac
quainted on each charge Brother
Furman is dispensing with the next
conference in order that he may
spend more time on this round.
That reduces us to two conferences.
The next will be the important one
in July. It is planned to make that
so attractive that everybody will
want to come.
Lutheran Church Notes
DAKOTA C1TY-SALKM
Rev. C. R. Lowe.
The law of God says:
shalt not," and there is a
nonding positive. "Thou
"Thou
This is all a good many people see in
religion, their own if they posess
any, and that of others if they do
not. They are forever under rules
and regulations. They have no ini
tiative. They do not plan any spirit
ual fruits of their own. They are
busy watching the regulations.
They run in a groove and cannot get
out. Thev are children who cannot
manage their own conduct. Christ
speaks of being in bondage under the
law. not having freedom. There are
children who need to bo told to do
whatever they t' and some one
says "don't" to diem continually.
We have all seen men who could do
better work if they had an overseer.
Those who follow Moses' law are
such. There is freedom but they do
not have it.
Paul tells us that christians are
sons not servants, but adopted into
the household of God. A son's
pleasure is to do what his father
wishes him to do. Not because he
has to but because his desire is to do
so. He is under no law, because he
is not commanded. Be does the
thing without the command. The
son who loves to do what his father
wishes does not need to bo told every
turn of the hand, he goes ahead and
sees things to be done. He is none
the less busy, but is busy from a
different motive. He is free be
cause it is his will to do his fa
ther's will. So the christian is not
concerned about the prohibitions of
the law because it is his desire to do
them anyhow. This is freedom, in
deed. He is not compelled from
without but impelled from within.
That is the difference between free
dom and bondage of the law, it is
the difference between the christian
and the legalist. A man is free to
support his wife and family but if
he does not do so put of m love for
them the law of the state' steps in
and says he must do so, then he is
under bondage to the law. The
christian's privilige is to be free,
free to do right.
Our state committee for Syrian re
lief and our own publication board
have asked us for an offering for re
lief for the starving multitudes in
the Holy Land. Suppose we make
an offering for that purpose on Jan
uary 20. The land has fallen a prey
to thieves, and it is up to us to play
the Good Samaritan.
