NOKTll l'LATTE 11IHS $330
FOR TWO POUNDS OF WOOL.
Thirty-three business men of North
Platto decided Saturday they would
each contribute $10 for the thirty-two
ounces of wool from the White House
sheep donated by President and Jfrs.
Wilson for the benefit of the Red Cress
of Nebraska. After the $330 had been
subscribed, E. J. VanDerhoof wired
the message into Govornor Neville.
Referring to the message the Sunday
Sfato Journal said:
While the bidding on Saturday closed
with the city of North Platte in the
load, tho auction sale of the wool has
not closed. It will remain open for
bids during Monday and will close at
midnight of that day.
All day Motlay tho people of tho
state and the communities thereof will
have a chance to talk It over and de
cide whether or not they ought to open
their purse strings wider or tho Red
Cross, or whether they are to sit down
and admit that a little combination of
thrity-thrco men In North Platto, with
S10 aneaco. are to be allowed to walk
off with the wool and in addition a nice
little lettor which' will bOvSlgned by
Pesidont and) Mr. Wilson, not tio
sneak of the great credit they will
receive for being the most liber people
In Nebraska v(hon It comes to a cause
or immunity.
Shall North Platte walk off with this
prize? This is tho question which citi
zens the stato overwhoro may uis
cuss at their leisure Sunday and Mon
day. It is predicted that North Platto
people will have to come across with a
much higher bid before the sun goes
down Monday evening. They may have
to sit up until midnight if thoy care
to stay in the game, because it prom
ises to be a nst and furious contest. It
will be no game for pikers.

Why didn't I wait to bo drafted
And led to the train by a Band?
Or put in a claim for exemption;
Oh, why did I hold up my hand?
Why didn't I wait or tho Banquot
Why didn't I wait to bo cheered?
For the drafted receive all tho credit,
Whllo I only volunteered.
There was rfo one to give me a Banquet
Not a soul to saya kind word;
Tho puff of tho engine, tho grind of tho
wheels,
Was the only good-bye I heard,
Then off to the troining cnmp hustled,
To bo trained for almost a- year,
In tho shuffle abandoned, forgotten.
I was only a volunteer.
And now they send toops to Europe
To fight for your Uncle Sam;
So I thot 'twas my chance to flght in
France
But they sent tho drafted man.
Now they're going to train some more,
That's why they're keeping us horo;
It's tough-luck I've got to admit it,
To bo only a volunteer.
Perhaps somo day in the future
When my llttlo boy sits on my knee;
Arid his big eyes look up at me,
I'll have to look down Into those eyes,
That at mo so trustingly peer,
And tell him I wasn't drafted,
I was only a volunteor.
