H'HANKSGIVING! I it to be Thankful this year because as bad as things are they could be worse. Business, as good as I have been better for me. While I have perhaps the best cash business in the state, yet there are a H )ple who should trade with me that don’t. They know they get poorer stuff, they know they pay places, but just because my hair ain’t curly they would rather pay the difference and buy on tick. S ful they are few, like the fox said about the grapes, “they must be sour anyway” FLOUR 48 POUND SACK CJO QC One sack to customer . 20c TALL CANS MILK 1 1 r One to customer.

These apples are extra fancy box apples like I had last year. They are not boxes of cull apples, or Windfalls, and they don’t taste like rutabegas. I I did not get a full car as they are so high priced there will not be many want them. Most people buy the cheaper grades of apples and wonder where the worm holes come from. These apples of mine come from the finest Apple Orchards in Washington, where it’s against the law to ship bum stuff out of the state. Where whole orchards are condemned on account of not coming up to certain standards. Last year these apples kept hard and juicy up into May. Months after the other apples had turned to mush.

The Young Men’s Christian Associa tion have a national campaig'n next week, the purpose of which is to raise $36,000,000 to be used by the associa tion in work among the soldiers in this country and those on foreign soil. Of this amount Nebraska’s quota is $260,000 and there is no question but what that amount will be raised in this state. Holt county’s share of the Nebraska quota is $2,600 and those in charge of the campaign hope that the subscriptions in this county will exceed that amount. For the purpose of making this campaign the state has been divided into districts, Holt county being in the Fifteenth district, of which C. H. Cor nell, of Valentine, is chairman. D. L. Jouvenat, of Atknson, is the chairman for Holt county. C. B. Scott, of this city, is the district publicity chairman. In order to get the work started in this county a meeting was held at the K. C. hall last evening, which was fairly well attended. The meeting was presided over by Mayor E. H. Whelan, who delivered a short address in which he took occasion to heartily commend the association for the work it was doing and assurred the workers that it would have his hearty support. C. H. Cornell was then introduced and informed the audience that he had been selected chairman for this dis trict and that the meeting this even ing was for the purpose of getting the work started for the great drive next week and he hoped that this district would over subscribe its quota. George D. Wallace, of Omaha, was then introduced and spoke at some length on the work the association was doing among the soldiers in the dif ferent cantonments and across the ocean and urged his hearers to get be hind the movement and assure its success so that our boys in the army, who are the best paid, best fed and best clothed soldiers in the world would also be the best morally and remain that way. He was profuse of his praise for the work the Knights of Columbus were doing in the different cantonments and said there was plenty of work for both organizations. Mr. Wallace is one of Omaha’s substantial business men and said that he had been connected with Y. M. C. A. work for thirty years and that his whole IirnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmQ E= HOURS AND DOLLARS SAVED gg A Checking Account at the Nebraska State Bank may save you many unnecessary trips to town these busy days. _ Paying by check brands you as an up-to-date man of success.

It is hoped that our people, who are always very liberal in every worthy cause, will heartily respond to this call and assist the organization in car rying on its good work. SEE MARGARET CLARK IN SNOW White at the Star Theatre Thurs day, November 15th. 22-1 Important Red Cross Notice. At a recent meeting of the Execu tive Committee of the Holt County Chapter of American Red Cross, Mrs. J. J. Harrington was named Chair man of Hospital Supplies and all pertaining thereto and Mrs. George Longstaff was named Chairman of Knitting Committee and all pertain ing thereto. The following Hospital Supply Com mittees have been named: Purchasing Committee—Mrs. W. T. Evans, Mrs. M. F. Harrington, Mrs. Harry Clauson, Mrs. Harry Haffner. Cutting Committee—Mrs. A. J. Ham mond, Mrs. J. H. Meredith, Mrs. David Stannard, Mrs. Froelich, Mrs. J. M. Hunter, Mrs. A. A. Virgin. Censoring Committee on Shipments —Mrs. Herman Oebser, Mrs. H. L. Page, Mrs. M. V. Ayers. Packing and Shipping Committee— Mrs. E. F. Gallagher, Mrs. George Morrison, Mrs. M. E. Pettibone, Mr. Herman Oebser, Mr. T. D. Hanley. Publicity Committee—Mrs. C. B. Scott, Mrs. D. A. Criss, Mrs. L.

There is a recent call for hundreds of thousands of Hospital garments for ~ur wounded soldiers. There is no other way for these garments to be made except by the patriotic women. The Germans are forcing the Belgium women and girls to build concrete dug-, outs under artillery fire. These un fortunate women are daily herded to gether and taken to a zone near the German lines to perform manual labor of the hardest kind. Their homes have been destroyed, their husbands’ and sons’ lives taken and this is the way they are now being treated. The women of the United States can hardly realize this war as they are so far re moved from it. We do not seem to grasp the awful situation; we do not seem willing to do the little that is asked of us. The Holt County women are asked to sew and knit. Can not every wo man so arrange her housework that she can give a few hours each week to make hospital garments? We can knit at home during our leisure moments. Can not every woman and girl in Holt county take up knitting? Surgical dressings are so scarce in France that the nurses have been obliged to use paper to bandage the wounds of the soldiers. Mrs. Wade, of Page, will give instructions in Surgical Dressings at the Public School in O’Neill next Wednesday afternoon, November 14th. Every woman and girl is urged to come and help in this work. We are engaged in the worst war the world has ever known. Our Ameri can boys have been killed,wounded and taken prisoners. I know if the women will get hold of the situation, realize the conditions, that nothing will keep them from taking hold of this work The county is now so organized that there is a sewing or knitting unit within the reach of every woman in the county. O’Neill has the use of a large room in the Public School build ing and there are sewing classes three afternoons a week. The Tuesday class is in charge of Mrs. A. A. Virgin and Mrs. H. L. Clark; the Wednesday class, Mrs. C. E. Downey and Mrs. George Miles; the Friday class, Mrs. J. B. Ryan and Mrs. R. L. Arbuthnot. *** Willing to Conserve Food. Early reports on the Food Pledge Card campaign for Nebraska indicate that the citizens of the state, with few exceptions, are willing to conserve food and do their part in winning the great war for Democracy. From various parts of the state come reports of practically every family in the district signing up, and to date seventeen districts have re ported 100 per cent signatures. In the early returns Hall county was leading the counties outside of Doug las and Lancaster. With 7,234 signed cards, Hall set a pace for other counties which was hard to maintain. The public schol teachers of the state and the pupils did great work in the initial drive. With the charact eristic energy of the school teachers in evidence early, the results of their work was assured. “The teachers are entitled to great credit,” said Food Administrator Wat tles. “Without them and their pupils the administration would have been greatly handicapped, and I want to thank every one for her excellent work.” — Wattles to Fix Food Prices for Nebr. Upon his return from Washington, Food Administrator Wattles will issue a price list for food commodities which j will apply to the entire state. L USE WATER FOR HEALTH J ftfr^wrm^eocagg.

Mr. Wattles will work out these prices in cooperation with the State Wholesalers’ Committee and the State Retailers’ Committee, the latter com mittee yet to be named. This com mittee will consist of licensed retail ers of the state who do a business of more than $100,000 annually. The smaller retailers will be reached through the wholesalers. Those defying the rules of the Ad ministration will be met with a refusal by the wholesalers to supply them with goods. “The Administration will begin pub lishing them as soon as possible,” said Mr. Wattles. “We will make them fair to retailer and consumer alike. I want to hear from people who find that the prices after we fix them have been violated by retailers.” I I “I WORK AFTER SCHOOL” g Father has a store. I work g after school for him.
