Orchard spraying demonstrations will bo conducted Friday, May 10, at 9 o'clock a. in. at John Car penter's, li miles west of Willis, and at John Sides', in Dakota City, at 4 p. m. On Saturday similar demonstrations will be conducted at Nels Krogh's near Dakota City at 9 a. m. and at the Wm. Armour farm two and a half miles south of the twin churches at 1:30 p. m. Prof. E. II. Hoppert of the University will conduct the demonstrations. This is work in which all owners of orchards should be interested. Spraying equipment costs but little, spraying material are cheap, and the time necessary to do the work is not large. All are urged to be pres ent at one- of these places, Hubbard precinct in its organiza tion meeting for pocket gopher era dication work went "over the top" in enthusiasm at the meeting in Hubbard last Friday night. A good crowd was present and all seemed determined to rid the county of the pest. On the suggestion of Thos. Long, ten dollars was raised to be given as a prize to the captain over the district which shows the best work at the end of the season. Geo. Timlin, Thos. Long and Roy Armour are judges to decide the winner. Those who will act as captains in Hubbard precinct are Louis L, Lar son. John Hartnett, John Jessen, Dan Hartnett, James Green, J. P. Hcacom, Hal Hridenbaugh, and Louis JCnudson. These men will call dem onstration meetings in their respec districts in a short time. The south west district is without a captain but we hope to be able to report one this next wegk. The west third of Covington pre .cinct also held a gopher eradication organization meeting on Saturday night at the Brushy Bend school house. Jake Hummel will be cap tain over the north half of this part of the precinct and Henry Ebel over the south half. Both of these men are determined to do their best in assisting this county-wide movement and ask your cooperation. Plan to attend the demonstrations which they will put on later.

Lutheran Church Notes OAKOTA C1TY-SALEM P.KV. C. 11. LOWK. On Suuday, May 19, Mr. C. II. Weller will be at Salem and will make an address on the business end of the church work. Mr. Weller was twenty-five years a manufactur er of furniture and has had consid erable business experience. And now he is giving that experience to the church. It will pay you to hear him. There will be no offering for him nor admission. On Sunday May 19 tho Emmanuel preaching service will be immedi ately following tho Sunday school service, the reason for it is tho Das- tor has been asked to preach tho class aerrnon for the graduating class of the Homer high school, which service is to ue at 8 o'clock. On Sunday May 2G there will bo confirmation and communion service ut Salem. Communion May 19 at Emmanuel. There will be preaching at Hub bard Lutheran church next Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, Jf nothing prevents. The pastor comes more and more to tho conviction Mint church attend. anco is a good indication of our re ligious Btate. Ho knows there is no infalible test that any man may know. By noting attendance we can tell about how much bread that comes down from heaven a soul is fed. Too many christian people get all of this food for the soul they ever have at the preaching service at the church, for they do not read the Bible in tho family nor in private. So much more is the need for church attendance. The Bible tolls us wo cannot live a godly life by our own powers, and men find it is true, they need God's grace. This grace is received thru the Word and tho sacraments and preaching is truly the Word of God if the preacher preaches the Bible for edification rather than argumen tation. Hence we receive grace thru the preaching. And it is at the church wo receive tho other sacra ments, So men need to go to public worship. There are instances when it is not )ossible to be there, but there are a ot of instances that aro counted im- lossibilities which ure indisposition and carelessness, and selfishness in bo much that a person does not want to make tho necessary oHort to get there. Our eternal salvation is worth any sacrifice. Our great need is to bo at the preaching service. Make it a point to be there. $ CORRESPONDENCE g a -'--" ,-,:rr W r M Vtfn T w.- 0c noxw warm w HUBBARD Christine Beck spent Tuesday evening with friends near Willis. E.

Editor Herald: State Oil Inspector, Dakota City Postmaster, Auditor for the M. B. As, President of a Defunct Commer cial club, Editor of the North Ne braska Eagle, alias Flipflopper, has, according to a recent article figured out some forty persons in this coun ty who he thinks should announce in his "all the news all the time?" at $5.00 per that he has selected tllem as candidates for some office at the coming election, which, by the way, would net about 200 bucks, and then with an exultant chuckle exclaims to himself that it pays to advertise. He frankly admits that there may be some more suckers in the county that ho might bleed and at the same time admits that he thinks perhaps he cannot induce tho whole popula tion of the county t get on the band wagon in his rehash columns and cough up 5 bucks apiece. Ihe average pers6n who aspires to an office would naturally inquire first as to the benefit to be derived through an advertising medium and since the merchants of Dakota City do not advertise in the rehash one would naturally suppose that they did not think the State Oil Inspec tor's Rehash worth very much. Why don't Schmied publish a de tailed report of what he is drawing as State Oil Inspector? Why don't he tell the public about the muddled up manner in which his post office accounts were in recently? Why don't he tell the public that the government was getting tired of the manner in which he conducted the post office and that if he didn't see his way clear to spend more of his time attending to his duties as post master they would be obliged to re lieve him? Why don't he tell the public that he has so many appointive offices that he probably will be obliged to grow more fingers "and thumbs in order to count up his numerous offices. He says the present governor has done everything jusf as he wanted said governor to do. Evidently Mr. Schmied thinks the governor did a wise thing in appointing a Special Prosecutor when our present County Attorney seemed to be so apt in set ting the farmers back 100 bucks a clip for crossing the Combination bridge with their family or friends and letting the boot-leggers go with from one to three dray loads of booze at a time. We wonld like to have Mr. Schmied tell us just what he thinks of this affair between the Governor and the County Attorney. How is Mr. Schmied going to sup port both these gentlemen in their positions. The County Attorney seems to be mad at the Governor, and both professed democrats. Farmer. The Herald 1 year, $1.25.

And in the darkness. Of, my room. I lay. And nil the pictures. That the day had drawn. Caino back. And She was there. And no was there. And then a picture. From across the seas. Was painted. On my shadow wall. And lie was there. And all about him. Thcro were shadow men. But nowhere. Could I find tho face. Nor find the form. Of ner. And tfion. Another, picture came. A great Itcd Cross. And wounded' men. Looked up at it. And raised their arms. And smiled. And He was there. And as I gazed. One Million Sweaters For Army and Navy Tho American Red Cross is the greatest volunteer organization that tho world has ever seen. It was announced by one of the high ofllcials In Washington that millions of people nro and havo been for some months working six days a week without a dol lar's pay. This Includes tho members of the local chapters nnd all other em ployees In this country and abroad. Ono significant item In this Is tho fact that tho lted Cross has given tho army and navy over 1,000.000 sweater for tho boys In tho service, of which over 1)00,000 were made by tho mem bers of tho locnl chapters. You who know tho difficulty of making sweat ers can estimate tho character of tho work and the self sacrifice that tho women of America aro mnklng to fur ther tho Ited Cross mission of mercy. IN 'KHAKI C. B. Upon the cross. I saw Her face. And so It -was. That in tho darkness. Of my room. It came to me. That lied Cross work. Across the seas. Was mother's work. In other hands.

I THANK YOU CARDINAL GIBBONS' MESSAGE Thcro is In these times a verit able ocean of sorrow and suffer ing engulfing millions of souls, and a society with tho member ship and resources of the lied Cross, actuated as it Is by Chris tian principles, can lest under take tho tremendous burden of extending intelligent and efficient relief. In particular I approve of tho Red Cross activities as they aro directed towards sup porting tho courago and caring for tho Injuries of our young sol diers and sailors. Jt U my earn est hope that all of our people will cheerfully and generously co operate telth the Red Cross com mittee in their efforts toxcards reaping tho fullest measure of charily that it may bo possible for the society to attain.
