Political Announcement.
I hereby announce myself a candi
date for the olTice of State Repre
sentative from the Thirteenth Dis
trict at the gcnor.il olecSi in No
vember. WALTER SANDQUIST.
Walthill, Nebr.
It's a mighty cold and stormy day
when the democrats can't find some
thing to claim credit for. The latest
is the attempt of Gov. Neville to
claim credit for the re-oiicratlon of
the serum plant al the State Agri
cultural farm. He issued a sort of
proclamation last week that upon in
vestigation he had decided that the
plant ought to be operated and had
so ordered, when the facts of the
matter are that the regents of the
University had tho nlant ordered in
operation before the governor issued
his order.
THE "ACID TEST."
Two years ago Dan V. Stephen
was elected to congress in this dis
trict because "Wilson Kept Us Out
of War." This year he expects to be
elected because "Wilson has adjourn
ed politics."
Jdrt Stephens is running a three
column laudatory advertisement of
himself in various papers in the dis
trict this week in which he claims
credit, inferentially, for tho present
satisfactory status of the war and
urges tho dlro necessity of re-elect
ing every democrat to office to avoid
creating an erroneous impression in
Germany. Ho emphatically declares
that "Winning the War" is the only
issue and that politics has been ad
journed by President Wilson. Win
ning tho war may bo tho only issue
tisldo from returning Stephens to
congress, In tho eyes of Mr. Steph
ens at tho present time, but the
Stephens war record is such that
thoso familiar with it are lead to be
Hcyc thnt "winning the war" has
nbt always been Stephens' slogan.
Ho consistently voted against this
country preparing for war. At the
second session of tho 02nd congress
i ho took occasion to vote on two sepa
rate occasions' against the building
of battleships. At the third session
he again voted twice against tho es
tablished naval program to build
two battleships a year, and sixty
days before tho outbreak of tho Eu
" ropcan war ho again voted against
building two battleships per year,
and voted to build but one. Six
months nftcr the beginning of the
war ho again voted against tho build
ing of two ships and for ono ship.
Almost two years after the beginning
of the war ho still opposed tho build
ing of two ships and voted to limit
the construction to one.
At tho 2nd session of tho G2nd
congress ho voted in favor of abol
ishing flvo regiments of onvalry, and
at a timo that it was almost impos
sible to sccuro enlistments in tho
army he voted to chango the term of
enlistment from 3 years to 5 years,
which would have made it still more
difficult. Ho voted against the
measuro granting our soldiers in for
clgn servico additional pay. Ho vot
ed for tho removal of Gen. Leander
A. Wood as chief of stall". At n
timo when wo had no aeroplanes
whatever, and almost a year after
tho outbreak of tho war, Mr. Steph
ens voted against nn appropriation
of $700,000 for aeroplanes. Almost
two years after tho outbreak 6f the
war Stephens voted against increas
ing our army from 90,000 to 220,000
men, and at a timo when our en
tranco into the war was almost cer
tain ho again voted against Increas
ing tho army to 250,000. Ho voted
against tho McKonzio omendment
providing for the production of nitro
gen, a necessary Ingredient of smoke
less powder in tho United States.
After wo wero in tho war ho Voted
against tho Anlhonv nmondment .au
thorizing Colonel Theodoro Roose
velt to ralso four divisions of in
fantry for service in Franco. He
voted against increasing the pay of
our soldiers to $30 per month.
He voted against tho tabling of tho
McLemoro resolution. Ho voted to
placo an embargo on arms and am
munition consigned to a belligerent.
President Wilson has declared that
thoso who voted as Stephens dld,on
these measures failed to meet the
"acid test" of true loyalty and gen
uine Americanism.

Infomation regarding Christmas

In an ellort to meet the eager de
sires of men 'in servico abroad the
War Department has decided that
each man may receive from his fam
ily a Christinas pachagc of standard
size and approximately standard ar
ticles. To this end an nrrangement
has been completed between the War
Department, Post Office department,
and the American Red Cross, where
by tho latter has undertaken, to co
operate in the prcparition and mail
ing of these Christmas parcels.
To expedite the plan, n large num
ber of specially manufactured card
board cartons have been purchased
which will be distributed through
the chapters to the relatives and
friends of men in service overseas.
'General Description of the Plan:
(1) To insure nvoidance of duplic
ation and erroneous addresses, Army
authorities under Genernl Pershing,
nrc issuing n Christmas Pnrcel la
bel to each man. This measure is
required by shipping space limita
tions. (2) The men will be instructed to
mail this lobel to home relatives, or
friends who. unon receivinc H. will
present it to the nenrcst Chapter or
branch of the Red Cross: They
will secure one carton, 3 inches by
4 inches by 9 inches in size.
(3) The person receiving a carton
may fill it witl any combination of
articles which will fit in it, nnd
which are not barred by the Post
Office Department. (See list of un
mailable articles below.) When
completely packed and ready for
mailing tho weight of the carton
must not exceed three pounds.
(4) Parcels ready for shipment
will be brought unwrapped to the
Red Cross Inspection Committee,
who will examine the contents, in
order to:
(a) Exclude any articles barred
by Post OiHce Department from
Christmas parcels.
(b) Remove any notes or mess
ages found among tho contents.
(c) Wrap, tie, and weigh the par
cel. (d) Place on tho parcel the

in tho presenco of the Red Cross
representative, afUx stamp sufficient

J. The posago charges for Christ
mas packages shall ho nt tho rato of
fourth .class or parcel post zono rate.
(o) The Red Cross inspection
label certifying as to the completo

3. Explosives of all kinds.
4. Intlnmmnble mnterials,
in-
eluding friction mntches.
G. Infernal machines and mech
anical, chemical or other devices or
compositions which may ignite or ex
plode. Under this classification
come cigarette lighters.
G. Liquids, fragile articles, and j
other admissable mnttcr when not
jyoperly packed.
7. All articles which may kill,
hifrt, harm or injure Another or dam
atre nronertv or mails.
Hear these facts' in mind when
packing your Christmas parcel:
Nothing should go in a Christmas
parcel which will not keep fresh
lrom tunc ot packing until Christ
mas.
Dried fruits and other products
should be packed in small tin or
w6odcn boxes, one quarter to one
half pound size.
Hard candy including chocolate
would probably be safe in tin foil
or heavy card board but no soft choc
olats "nor 7inything that could possi-,
lily be crushed should bo used, as the
remaining contents of the package !
might lie spoiled thereby: j
Severnl candies packed in oblong'
tin boxes each holding a quarter of
a pound will provide a better variety
for a packet that a larger' quantity
of a single confection. '
No nrticles packed in glass should
be placed in the package.
For wrapping gifts use a khnki
colored handkerchief, twenty-seven
inches square. -
Contents of parcels must be firmly i
packed, but there should be no bulge
in tho container.
The filled carton, unwrapped, must
not weigh more thna 2 'lbs. 15 oz. i

obtained from tho following mem- i
hers of the Inspection committee:

zier, Mrs. G. F. Broyhill, Mary Max
well. Allf parcels must be returned
to this committee by November 15th.
The H. II. S. C. Club gave $6.00
to the Genernl Fund during the past

An unusually largo amount of first
clnss seed corn has been selected and
j cared for on Dnkota county farms
this year. While it is possible that
fairly good seed corn can bo selected
from tho crib next spring, never the
less, it will not have tho vigor that
well cared for seed has.
There is no placo on tho farm that
manure pnys better than on perma
nent pnsturo land. These coverings
should bo light and applied every few
years.
The spread of hog cholera ever tho
county appears to bo suppressed. A
few years ago, with the start that
was made early in the fall, thou
sands of hogs would have died. Now
with tho use of serum, an outbreak
is quickly checked.
We are in communication with
