While no one, not even our forefathers, would now advocate a self imposed condition of harsh economy it behoves many of us living in this fast moving era to pull ourselves up with a jerk and put on the brakes or throttle down on our careless ex-penditures. This is especially true in its relation to our children, to their future ggp 1 Sp welfare and to that of this country, - , It is an alarming fact that the young people of today do not have the proper regard of the value of money and we should not only take the blame as parents, but should teach economy and more especially inculcate this in the younger minds by practicing it ourselves. We, in this community, have been given one of the world’s greatest incentives for the accumulation of money. That is the sense of security given by the Guarantee Fund of the State of Nebraska. This fund now amounts to an enormous sum which is set aside as a t ~ Hi protection for the depositors in the State Banks of Nebraska. Grandfather had the worry for the security of his money besides the task of saving. We have only to place our money in a State Bank to be free from worry. | NEBRASKA STATE BANK, O’NEILL | Buy YOUR Liberty Bold Bond Today Safest Investment in the World Our SONS and BROTHERS are in the trenches, ** ; lighting for DEMOCRACY and LIBERTY.

About 2,600 people were at the depot to bid the boys good bye and God speed on their journey and to wish them a safe return when they had performed their duty to their country. In the crowd that surounded the depot were citizens from all parts of the county who came to speed the boys on their journey and to assure them that no matter where they were they would always have the prayers and the best wishes of the people of this county for their welfare and success. The Chambers band-was present and furnished lots of martial and patriotic music, which with the cheers of the the crowd and the farewell cheers of the boys as they left their home town was a sight that will long be re membered by those who witnessed it. Many a tear was shed by mother, sweetheart and sister as the loved ones boarded the train, but the boys took their places manfully and assur red the grieving loved ones that they would be back as soon as the world was made safe for democracy.

Holt county has still twenty-two men to send to the National Army cantonment to make up the quota of 143 men, which this county is to fur nish for the first army. These twenty two men will leave for Camp Funston about the ninteenth of the present month. The local board has thirty one men, who have been certified, for service by the state board and from this number the twenty-two men needed to make up the county’s quota will be taken. The government figured that ten per cent of the men, accepted for service by the physicians of the local boards, would be rejected by the army physicians and if that per centage holds good in this county the local board will be compelled to make another call to fill the county’s quota, as they have but nine more than the necessary 143. Holt county has sent a splendid lot of young men to the front and it is believed that the per centage of rejections will be very low. John L. Quig Married.
