LINCOLN COUNTY SUHSCItUIKS
92 10,000 TO LI11EUTV LOAN
Clmirman C. P. Tomplo reports that
tho total subscriptions to Liberty bonds
in Lincoln county wore $240,000. While
this is not near tho sum apportioned
to tho county, Mr. Tomple feels pretty
well satisfied, us do also tho men who
wore associated with hlui In the cam
paign. It 'can bo said that Lincoln county
is dqing its bit in this war. Neaily
300 of its young men aro on war ves
sels, in hospital or concentration
camps, in training camps, on aviation
floltltt or in tho onglneoring corps;
about ?50,000 was subscribed to the
first Liberty loan; hundreds of dollars
have boon paid to help tho Red Cross;
the membors or tho Hod Cross nro dally
employed in making garments which
will make tho soldier boys in trench
or camp more comfortable; there is a
County Defense Council which has con
tributed in several ways to the ulti
mate success of tho war and theso ef
forts will bo continued; theso things
wo have done, and when tho time
comes for doing more, wo will bo John
mio on the spot. And by doing theso
things wo demonstrate our loyalty to
our country.

Itenson for Seriousness.
It is noticeable that North Platte
people aro now taking tho war seri
ously more so than at any time here
tofore. This is ovidently duo to the
events that aro coining with such ra
pidity and which effects overyono more
or less. Wo have Just finished a bond
campaign that was waged with vigor,.
anu step into a campaign of food con
servation that promises to be as vig
orous; wo face a shortage of coal that
may become acute because wo are at
war; after Thursday we will pay a
war tax on railroad tickets and Pull
man berths and on all freight wo send
or receive; wo will pay an additional
cent to mall our letter and our postal
card; In fact wo will bo paying taxes
In a hundred ways that heretofore wo
have not paid. Each time we, pay a
cent of war tax we aro reminded we
aro at war, and none of us know how
long that war may he prolonged or
how seriously It may effect us. And
greater than this tax is the fact that
American boys aro now in the trench
es; soon we will bo reading tho casu
alty lists, and in those lists now or
later there may be Bomo who are very
dear to us. We are in the throos of a
great struggle; there is reason to be
serious.

Mrs. Hugh Bird, who was called to
Camp Funston by tho Illness of her;
son Lee, returned Sunday. Leo was
in tho convalescent ward when alio
loft, ond ho hoped to secure a fur
lough In order to return homo to re
cuperate. Tomorrow night Is Hallow E'en, and,
anticipating that tho boys may Nat-
tempt to 'perpetrate some tricks orj
jokes that border on lawlessness tho,

Another Instance of reckless shoot
ing occurred a few evenings ago when
a bullet struck tho front plato glass
window In tho P. M. Sorenson resi
dence. Tho bullet hit obllquoly, mak
ing a small hole in tho glass and crack
ing it from top to bottom.
Writing- from Harlowton, Mont., T.
E. McQlone, formerly of this cltyr says
that Wheatland county, In which ho
lives and which is tho "baby" county
In Montana, was tho first county in
that state to subscribe for its quota
of Liberty bonds. The county's quota
was $265,000. Several farmers sub
scribed $10,000 each.
Tho report was current last evening
that the Union Pacific would mako an
initiatory move toward the federal
government taking over tho manage
ment of tho road. While It Is true that
tho Union Pacific has Intimated that a
relinquishment of the management and
control might pass to tho government
if the war created ouch an exigency, It
is not believed thatthe.-time focflucji
haB yet arrived.
The Union Pacific having confiscated
two cars of coal cconslgned to tho
Coates Co, and one to tho Waltemath
Co. last Sunday, thus prohibiting tho
replenishing of already depleted stocks
there Is naturally some solicitude on
the part of tho people as to how far
and how long this confiscation will
apply. We realize that tho company
must move its trains, but it Is just as
important that people do not suffer
from cold.

To All Patriots of the Homo
in these Htlrrlng days whan our

has, oven lifo Itself, to prosorvo the
honor and Integrity of tho nation un
der whoso banner ho flghta.
What kind of boys aro wo Bonding to
tho front? Wo oxpect to send ono mil
lion bravo boys. Most of them nro
just approaching manhood filled with
hopes and inspirations, and who little
dreamt that thoy had beon prepnrlng
themselves to dofond tho country thoy
love against tho most highly organ
ized foo tho world has ovor known. Tho
responsibllty which rests upon them
calls for courage, n determination
nnd n patriotism almost sublime. Thnt
theso boys will meet tho responsibility,
moot It bravely and victoriously, nono
of us enterluln the slightest doubt.
Not long ago at n great college ro
gatta a dozen crows woro lined up on
tho Hudson for a four mile race. In
ovory boat wero olght men, clean mor-
ally and montnlly, physically porfect.
tiio banks of the river wero lined with
thousands of peoplo waiting to cheer
their favorlto crow along to victory.
Tho Mgi.nl was given. At thnt in
Htant almost a hundred oars touched
tho water, and with porfect rythm
these crowB shot down tho river. To
ward the end of tho rnco ono olghht
oar ahell took tho lead and finished
a fow Inches In ndvnnco of tho others.
As this boat took tho load thousands
of peoplo remarked upon tho rythm of
tno stroke and tno graco with which
tho men rowed. Thoro was no hesi
tation, no flinching, no oaslng up on a
singjo oar.
After this boat crosed tho lino, tho
crew rowed over to tho dock nnd oy
cry member of tho crow oxcont ono
stoppod out. What had happened to
him? Early in tho race a brass Bcrow
had worked looso In tho foot rest and
had, during tho raco, gradually worked
tnrougii tno thin nolo of his shoo, bon
otated tho skin, ontorcd tho flesh and
finally imbedded ItBolf in tho bono of
tiio boy's heel. Ho had to bo yanked
looso from tho boat. Iinaglno, if you
can, tho pain ho suffered during tho
rour-miio raco ami yet not onqo did
ho fail to throw all his power into tho
stroko that was to win tho race.
This boy is not nn exception; 1fo Is
ono of a million young inon who aro
going to tho front. Evoryono of those
follows will stick whothor ho faces
machine guns or tho cold Btcol of tho
bayonet. Hut this is not , tho im
