LET’S TRY A CHANGE. ■
Americans have always been a nation |H
of kickers, especially since the Irish
came. We have always had hard Rg|
scratching to make it go. Each man g||
always kicked on what the other fellow
made and times was hard. No one seem
to be able to get ahead. Lets try boost
ing—for the other fellow and see what
will happen. When a man comes to buy
your neighbor’s land, tell him the good HBj
points. Boost for higher wages for the
men who labor. Boost for Holt County EH
Hay and Holt County Cattle; and while SB
you are boosting for your home town ||||
stores and your neighbor’s produce some
one else will be boosting for you. When - Egg
you see a neighbor headed for the rocks, ||JJ
help him. Throw him a rope. Then Hfl
some day when the rocks start in your
direction the fellow you saved will be
“Johnnie On the Spot” to save )you. ||j|
Boost and the World Boosts With You— H
Knock and We All Knock Too. When
ever you see two or more men or women
talking, on the street, at the show, in
front of the church, ten chances to one
it’s about John Brennan’s store. When
people get good deals they tell their
neighbors. So next time you see a B|
couple talking you will know what it’s |||

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining. Every Dog Has His Day And The Store That Sticks By The Customers, The Customers Stick With The Store. Some Days When There Is Nobody In And Nothing Doing
A Fellow Thinks What In The Sam Hill Did He Do. Thun About That Time The Dark Cloud Rolls Over, The Crowd Comes And Comes And He Kicks Himself For Not Having Enough Stuff. The Customers Are
Human Beings. They Have Feelings The Same As The Stpre Keeper And They Don’t Forget A Favor. They Know What Store Is Doing The Right Thing By Them And The One That Ain’t. They Don’t Want Stuff
For Nothing. They Are Willing To Pay A Fair i ice, But They Don’t Like To Be Jipped. Stores That Once Had All The Trade Are Lonesome Places Now. They Forget, That It Don’t Pay To Bite The Hands
That Feed Them.
Some Times Prices In Other Stores Look Cheaper Than Mine. But I Do What I Advertise. The Trade Shows It.

Forty-two responded and were
sworn in by Capt. F. A. Walker of the
Stuart company.
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.”

The Chambers Red Cross.
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.

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.
