all torts of rumors floating about the

that will be adopted is the only ono
that will work pitiless publicity.
These draft-dodgers hate all been

towns, and when the department Is
ready, these lists will be given to
every newspaper in the area affected
From that minute on, the easiest way
will be for the d. d. d. (the last two
letters stand for "draft dodger" and
you are at liberty to guess the iden

nearest military post and take his
medicine. Tending publication of the
list, any dodger may surrender and
avoid the publicity feature of the

manager, but unless there is some
way to combine the office with that

A Chadron newspaper publishes
figures to show that J. . Rayburn,
who came to that place as city man
ager twenty-seven days ago, has
saved the city over one-fourth the
amount of his yearly salary of $5,000
alreadT. There is almost civil war
in Chadron, due to the efforts of the,
mayor to reserve all the authority
to himself and make an expensive
figurehead of Rayburn, who doesn't
seem to bo built of figurehead mate
rial. Already it has been suggested
that an electlon.be called to settle
the question of who should resign
the mayor or the city manager and
that is probably the easiest way out.
The Chadron manager has a number
of strong friends, and likewise a few
healthy enemies, and friends of the
system are watching the outcome
