The recruits then elected their of ficers as follows: Captain—S. S. Wymore. First Lieut.—Minor Clark. • Second Lieut.—Chris Nelson. First. Sergt. John Deming. The Dustin company will use the same style of equipment as that of the Stuart Guards, and will drill Wednesday nights at the Dustin hall. Lieut. McDermott of the U. S. medical reserve, and Capt. Walker, Lieut. McGrew, and thirteen non commissioned officers and privates of the Stuart company, were in attend ance at the meeting. After a brief drill by a squad from the visiting guards, adjournment was taken until Wednesday evening. We understand that some ten names have been added to the roll since the meeting which gives them over fifty members. This is some showing for the north country, but is not surprising, as the people out there always do more than their share in any public movement. Seed Corn For 1918 A Vital Question. On account of the condition of corn this year the question of seed for next spring’s planting is now engrossing the attention of the people all over the state. The following letter has been sent out to all the County Councils of Defense by the Vice-Chairman of the State Council bearing on that ques tion: “To County Councils of Defense and the Farmers of Nebraska: “From inquiries by and reports made to the State Council of Defense and investigations conducted through the Agricultural College and Exten sion Departments of the State Uni versity it appears that the seen roc , situation in Nebraska is the oust serious in the history of the State. The retarded maturing of the corn crop and the severe frosts which caught the corn ears with an unusual amount of moisture in them killed or severely injured the seed germs so as to render a very large per cent of the ears useless for seed purposes. These reports come from all over the corn growing sections of the state. “It is, therefore, most imperative that at once every precaution be taken and provision be made that every bushel of corn suitable for seed shall be saved, and care be taken to dry out as quickly as possible seed ears which may now have an excess of moisture in them so that when the severe cold of winter comes further deterioration shall not take place. Also, that all stocks of old corn be carefully saved for seed, and those who cut up corn before the frost came shall preserve the ears for seed purposes, for, not only is Nebraska faced with this serious question, but a number of other states are reported by govern ment officials to the State Council as not having matured any seed corn at all this year. “It is, therefore, not only an econo mic necessity, but a patriotic duty de volving upon tiie citizens of Ne braska to provide for the seed corn needs of our state, and also, if pos sible, contribute to the outside de mand. “The State Council and the Agri cultural College are most urgent in asking all interests concerned to do everything possible to meet the serious conditions spoken of. Efforts are now being made by the State Council and Agricultural College to induce the government to arrange to buy old stocks of corn suitable for seed. “We would especially call this mat ter to the attention of the small farmer, who, though he may not be in position to select seed corn for sale, should endeavor to find in his own field enough good seed for hs use next year. Sincerely Yours, GEORGE COUPLAND, Vice-Chairman.” District Court Convenes December 3. District court will convene in this city on next Monday, December 3rd.

The local Red Cross of Chambers held a Street and Baker Sale in Cham bers Saturday, following a street parade led by the Chambers band, the parade Ming in charge of Rev. Grosse, pastor of the Lutheran church. The parade and sale was attended by a large crowd of patriotic people of southern Holt county and the dona tions from the people to the Red Cross were very liberal. Nearly every one trying to do their bit to help the local Red Cross do its share in helping to supply the needs of the soldier boys who are in this war to preserve our homes and put down forever the rule of tyrants, such as rule in Germany at this time. The sale of the articles donated amounted to $245.00. And the proceeds of a social in one of the outlying school districts, was turned, over to the Red Cross fund which swelled the fund some $23.00 more. Then the Band boys of Chambers made an even break with the Red Cross of the receipts from the picture show, both after noon and evening, so the total of the day for the Red Cross will be around $300.00. Now this will enable the ladies of this Chapter of the Red Cross to purchase material for the ever willing hands of our ladies to rtiake into garments for the boys who every true American feels should have the best we can give them. May I just say a few words here in regard to the articles made by the Red Coss in Chambers and sent to O’Neill, to be sent on to the camps: I hear the ladies of our chapter say that the list of articles as published in the papers does not give them credit for near all they send. Now this may just be a mistake in the, print, we hope so: if in any spirit of selfishness, I think it should not exist in Grand Old America, for the selfish ness of the Kaiser is the very thing that is forceing our dear ones to the .. » war. So let us, as true Americans, be honest with each other, and self sacrificing for our dear boys now in the war and all who may be caikd hereafter. With esteem for the people of O’Neill, who have always treated me well. WM. W. RENINGEK, Member Chambers Red Cress. Pork and Bean Dinner.

I THE PINCH IN THE PURSE I The pinch in the purse will be less if you j§ give your wife a Bank Book for Christmas. jg The pocketbook always leaks—nickles, dimes, f| quarters, slip away. The household bank ac- g count not only holds these small sums, but keeps track of the dollars, gives a record and I receipt for every dollar spent. Surprise her this Christmas with a Bank Book. Make it as g fat as possible. Next year you will not have |j cause to complain of the high cost of living.
