is our state. Its present constitution was written in 1875,
but during the forty-four years that have elapsed the state
vv ' has developed to a degree that demands a new and revised
; constitution.
, ( All statutes, all laws are based ' upon the constitution.
Hence the necessity of having a broad document. That will
be possible only if broad men sit in the convention; men who
are actuated by patriotic intelligence rather than
class prejudice.
Farmers and bankers, doctor. -.::d lawyers, preachers and
teachers, carpenters and merchants, newspapermen and capi
talists intelligent men from very walk of life should be
represented in the convention.
Out from the hate,, the strife and jthe strain of the war
period a NEW NEBRASKA is emerging. If you want to
have a part in this forward campaign fill out the attached
coupon. Hand it to your editor or mail it.

want to insinuate the ability and
willingness of the kaiser and booze

anything to do with his 'attitude. It
is just the peculiar makeup of the

DAVIS, Secretary
Lutheran Church Notes
By Rev C. R. Lowe.
One asked me the other day, "What
was going on at tho church l.isc Sun
day night." Well, we iiavu .a Chris
tian Endeavor two woeks old. There
were about forty of the young peo
ple there last Sunday night. Thnt
may give you some idea of the inter
est there is manifested in the com
munity for the undertaking. Oar
young people need such a service, and
they nro getting behind it in .joml
shape. iast Sunday night tho or
ganization was mado permanent. Mr.
Horace Culbertson was olpcted piesi
dent, Miss Lillio Sides secretary, Joo
Culbertson tioasurer. The piesi
dent appointed various committees
which will bo given next week. Tho
program committee recommended tho
regular Chritian Endeavor topics for
tho lino of study, and also that as of
ten as advisable thero would bo givon
an opportunity for tho presentation
of something of particular Lutheran
activity. As soon as tho topics can
bo got and somo leadors appointed,
wo will bo in running order. Tho
original idea was to continue during
tho summer school vacatioil, but wo
do not havo to stop then if wo do not
want to. Tho' need lor the sorvico
will not stop with tho opening of
school.
Wo had a very well attended com
munion service last Sunday. Tho
day was fine and the Salem people
did well by it. That is commenda
ble, indeed, It was a delight to the
christian to see tho good number of
young people at tho service. It coj
tainly is evident to tho children of
God that there is something of real
ity besides the things of the flosh,
that there nro .spiritual things. It
is good for the community to havo a
lot of young people like these wo
have In the Salem church. Christian
people with all their shortcomings,
but yet who try to livo with Chris
tian ideals and a profession of relig
ion aro the best peoplo the world has:
"Ye aro the salt of the earth." These
are the saviors of tho world.
We talk a lot as to what is the
matter with the world and what is
tho future of tho present civilization.
Whatever there is to bo said on this
lino by statesmen and sociologist
there is just one thing that, is tho
troublo, special symptoms may lie
manifest, but tho thing tlat is really
tlo matter is that tho peoplo havo
forgot God, they do not tako him in
to consideration. Tho torrlblo throes
the world has aeen In tho last few
years, tho war and its agonies, havo
humbled nfjbody as a people. Wo in
this country aro proud in our own
power. Wo talk much about our
high ideals, and that is all right, but
wo aro not giving God tho glory for
it, thoy havo not brought us to roc
ognizo him in them. Wo aro bo
afraid of being publicly religious for
fear of offending somebody's feelings
that 1b not religious. Wo do not
need to bo sectarian or denomina
tional, but wo can all honor God and
keen his commandments 113 n people
without offense to any. Shamo on
a man who Is offended at tho sort of
Hfo that is set forth in tho blblo and
which Is urged upon all. Nono or
tho cllles huve been humbled by tho
struggle, and as to tho enemy, there
need be nothing said, tho world
knows their heart. The affairs of
the world aro not tun by tho might
or wisdom of men. "2ot by might
nor by power, but by my spirit, salth
tho Lord." God can and does con
found the councils of men and tho
bes laid plans go wrong. Tho arts
and sciences on which wo lay such
great storo aro but little in God's
sight. Egypt, Ninovah, Babylon,
where aro they? More glorious in
their day than anything wo know,
and richer. They ari tho (.'welling
place of jackalls and the ties1, nj,
placo of owls. Egypt just now is
clamoring er independence, but tho
word of God is that they shall necr
bo a nation among tho nations for
ever and ever.
The prido of our finery and pleas
ures can be swept away in a short
time. Indeed thero are symptoms
of it now in tho general unrest of
tho world. A generation is not u
long time, and it can take placo in
much less than that. .God has car
ried nations away by tneir enemies,
some have been humbled before our
eyes, and tho matter is not yet done.
Airl. a, proud and lordly, has been
Ik. i. ..i.. J, and almost destroyed, .mid
I net i. ij no nation that can nuke
theiiibues immune, i'hc nation that
forgets God shall bo cist into noil,
and while wo At. nui. like to think
of such llko tho word stands good
for our country as much as it d'jes
for tne rest, A man's prospetlty
can be a curse to him, indeed it is a
powerful influence to steal his heart
away from God. Tho samo is true
of tho nations. What a prosperous
people wo are, and thorcforo in what
a great danger wo are.
Wo go on the assumption that tho
way to prosper is to labor with wis
dom and diligence, that is part of it,
but tho other part of it is tho bless
ing of' God on the labors. Last Sun
day we saw men plowing in tho fields
and dragging roads. Wo know tho
fields need to bo plowed and tho
roads sutely need dragging, but, God's
day is not tho day to do it. God can
and does bring tho work of tho wick
ed to naught, and tho corn plowed on
Sunday, will not bring nny greater
harvest than if it had gone till the
next day, and it would net bo a
strange thing if it did not bring as
much. When God put tho curso on
men for tho sin of tho lirst parents,
ho put also a curso on tho ground,
that it should bring forth weeds nnd
thistles and also that tho earth
should not yicld-her Sncrcasu, The
I way to begin to fill up tho barns and
itho pens of stock is to livo in tho
'fear of God. We sometimes wonder
that men aro ulesseu as thoy are.
Wo cannot go on disregarding tho
voice of God. Ask Israel of their
history and y;at your answer. When
we seo tho disregard of jnen for what
is right, their seeking after pleas
ures and wickedness, bomo increas
ingly rich and somo without what is
necessary and making but littlo of
fort in tho wisdom of this world to
get what is necessary, lovhjg rather
"direct action" wo can sometimes
but l'cel that thero Is to 1)6 an end
to our good times, and wo shall como
upon hard times again, such ad many
of tho living now remember. It is
not our spirit to bo a crapqhangor,
but just tho samo peoplo do not take
God into their account, and for that
they mu3t pay tho price, inevitably.

Tho inclement weather interfered
with tho meetings scheduled for tho

havo been discussed was on tho "Dry
ing of Vegetables." This is ono way
to help savo nil that wo grow. Tho
drying is not' taken uu with tho view
of displacing tho canning of vegeta
bles but many vegetables that aro
difficult to kcop by canning may . bo
easily dried and when cooked havo a
very pleasing taste. Anyone inter
ested in this work may seo a very

POULTRY HINTS
Don't forget tho growing chicks
need fresh water now nuito often.
clean fresh water and keep it in'-tho
shade. You know how.you feol'in
tho summer when thirsty, of course
you demand ico water, but tho chicks
will bo satisfied if it is reasonably
lrcsti ana clean.
It might bo well to look into the
question of ventilation for tho chicks
now that they aro getting along in
size. Too many in a houso 'that Is
not properly ventilated is very dis
astrous and will do a vast amount of
harm. It is liko putting toomttny
in a room to sleep and shutting-down
tho windows, Bo very careful.
FIGHTIXU CHICKEN LICE
(From Farm Bureau News)
For all poultry lice, it has beep
found that nothing is batter than
sodium fluoride. This comes In .two
forms known as chemically puro,
which is in crystals or small 'lumps,
and tho commercial, which is-pow-deredj
Either form is offectivo, but
tho latter is cosier to apply. The
prico varies from 30 to (30 cents per
pound.
In treating with sodium fluoride,
the dusting or pinch methods wlll
likely bo tho ones employed. IThis
may bo done by placing tho ponder
Into n shaker anil, whilo a rsecond
person ruffles tho feathers, tha. in
scctido is dusted on. Tho ; pinch
method is widely used and is perfect
ly effective. This is dono by .plac
ing ono pinch on tho head, ono on the
neck, two on tho back, ono on tho
breast,, one bolow tho vein, ono on
tho tallj ono on' either thijh, and
ono scattered, on tho underside of
eachwl&p iWion aprBiirDutr-Each
pinch should bo scattered somewhat.
On real warm days tho fowls may
bo (lipped, using a solution of one
ounce of tho commercial or two
thirds ounco of the chemically puro
sodium fluorido to each gallon of wa
ter. Hold tho wings over tho back
and plungo tho bird in up to her
hoad. Hold hor thoro for half to
threo-fourths of n ininuto with ono
hand, whilo with tho other ruff tho
feathers. Tho head is then ducked
onco or twico and tho fowl removed.
Sodium fluorido is very destructive
to ilco without producing nny ill ef
fects toevon young chickens. So
dium fluorido solutions should not bo
loft over night in galvanized vessels,
as it may .injure thom. Ono pound
of tho commorclal form by tho pinch
mothod will treat 100 hens. By tho
dust mothod twico this amount will
boPusod. Tho dipping mothod uses
less of tho. material than oither of
the othor two whore a largo number
of fowls aro treated. If only a few:
aro to bo dippod this mothod may bs
tho most expansive.
