| The Need of Economy |
?'• 1 ■ ■■ : - -
If many of your fathers and mothers of the past generation could
view this prosperous country now, what violent shocks, often re
peated, would they receive from our many little forms of luxury and ex
travagence.
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.

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.
