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.
Wo are in receipt of a good many
letters from our school teachers re
porting on the ear-to-ear corn tests
made by their pupils. Through as
sistance rendered by the teachers,
the children are testing a few ears
of their father's seed corn. The re
ports Bhow tho number of ears test

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.

Salem Township, May 3, 1918.'
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.

AMERICA-THE SYMBOL
OF FAITH AND HOPE
By GEO. W. GOETHALS
Acting Quartermaster General
SSg
7 VERY American citizen should bo proud of the American
" ' Red Cross. It is d?.ily, indeed hourly, giving an example
of mercy to the whole world. Through its operations the
Buffering of soldiers und civilians is being alleviated.
Tho American people should continue to support the
American Red Cross. Through it they are helping their own
men and helping the allies. Through it they are making
America the symbol of faith and hope in a distracted world.
GEO. W. GOETHALS,
Acting Quartermaster General.
THE BOY
By K.
I saw a mother.
And her brown clad boy.
And beard her sob.
And "Goodby, son."
And saw him.
Kiss her tears awiiy.
And go.
And hours passed.
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.
And done for ner.
And then sleep camo.
And came a dream.
And cheering throng.
And boys come home.
And ne was there.
And Sho was there.
And once again.
I heard ner sob.
And saw Him.
Kiss Her tears awny.
And In their wake.
On that glad day.
A Ited Cross waved.
As It had waved.
And followed nim.
Down In tho Valley.
And come hack agnln.
I THANK YOU

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

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
