The members of the county board met last Tuesday afternoon and or ganized for the ensuing year by elect ing M. P. Sullivan as chairman of the board for the ensuing year. Mr. Sullivan announced the appointment of the following committees: Courthouse, Jail and Legal Ex penses—Bausch, Watson and Hayes. Printing and Supplies—Schollmeyer, Hubbard and Rotherham. Financial and Official Bonds—Hayes, Rotherham and Bausch. Settlement with County Officers— Watson and the Entire Board. Tax and Tax Titles—Rotherham, Watson and Bausch. Claims—Hubbard and the Entire Board. Red Cross Service. The Holt County Hospital Supply Classes were organized in O’Neill last summer. Atkinson, Stuart, Emmet, Ewing, Inman, Chambers, Page, Mid dlebranch, Venus have classes, all of which have been sending in splendid shipments. Ladies who live in the country and have been unable to at tend any of these classes have or ganized classes in different neighbor hoods and^ are doing their bit by meet ing and sewing for the soldiers. For the short time the ladies of Holt county have been doing this work, they have made a very good record, but I hope more will see the dire necessity for this work and help with the sewing. At home we can hardly realize the awful cry and need for these garments and surgical dress ings. It means everything to a wounded soldier to have a real bed, clean sheets, pajamas and other hospi tal supplies. When word is sent to us that the nurses and physicians over there are using old papers, rags, etc., for sur gical dressings on the wounded sold iers, and appealing to the women of American to rush surgical dressings to them, it is surely incumbent on us to take up this work at once.

STEPS “MELVIN” SELLS FOR LESS I am optomistic enough to feel that the patriotic women of HoltCounty will continue their work in the work rooms and take up surgical dressings. While this work is not compulsory, yet if the women will remember there is only one way for us to relieve the wounded soldiers and that is to do this work, I am sure every patriotic woman in Holt County will appreciate the fact that each one of us should lend a hand in this work. I wish to thank the ladies for their co-operation and interest shown in these Red Cross classes, and feel sure that Holt County will increase her generous shipments. Mrs. J. J. Harrington.

I Stitt 1 Death of Mrs. Mary McKenna. Mrs. Mary McKenna, one of the pioneer residents of this county, died at her home in this city last Friday afternoon, after an illness of about one year of ailments due to old age, at the advanced age of 82 years and six months. The funeral was held from the Catholic church last Monday morning at 9 o’clock, interment in Calvary cemetery at the side of her husband who passed aw'ay about twelve years ago. Deceased was born in Ireland in 1885. She came to this county with her husband over thirty years ago, from Independence, Iowa, and they located upon a farm five miles south west of this city, where they resided until Mr. McKenna made proof upon the land. They then moved to this city where deceased resided up to the time of her death. Deceased leaves six children, four sons and two daughters to mourn her death, all of whom were present at the funeral except James, who is a resi dent of Saskatchewan, Canada, and could not reach here in time for the funeral. The children are: Mrs. G. C. Williamson, Independence, Iowa; James McKenna, Saskatchewan, Can ada; Mrs. J. P. McManus, John, Charles F. and Hugh, of this city. Early Closing Suggested. The Nebraska State Council of De fense, recognizing the urgent necessity of conserving every possible pound of coal now used as fuel and for the pur pose of generating electricity, and believing that a considerable saving can be effected through the shorten ing of the business day, do hereby make the following requests of retail merchants of the State of Nebraska, effective January 1, 1918. 1. That stores open for business not earlier than 7 a. m. 2. That on Monday, Tuesday, Wed nesday, Thursday and Friday, all re tail stores close not later than 6 p. m. 3. That no retail stores be opened on Sunday. 4. Believing that the time is not far distant when all stores will be asked to curtail the length of business hours on Saturday we recommend that wherever at all practical, merchants of a town get together and mutually agree on an earlier closing hour for Saturday than is now in practice. 5. We also recommend that the merchants of the separate towns mutually agree on as early as possible an hour for the turning off of all window lights. (i. It is clearly recognized that there are some lines of business that it may be impractical for them to co operate with this early closing request, such as restaurants. We believe the people of Nebraska will recognize that this request is the outcome of war conditions, and we ask the co-operation aryl endorsement of both merchants and consumers. The Nebraska State Council of De fense having received a request from the Council of National Defense to recommend all means that will release the man power of the state,, and be lieving that a considerable number of men might be released by reduccing the number of deliveries now being made by the retail stores of the state, do hereby make the following requests of the retail merchants of the State of Nebraska effective January 1, 1918. 1. That only one delivery per day be made. 2. That whenever possible all con sumeres endeavor to anticipate their wants and allow goods to be delivered the day after they are purchased. 3. Wherever co-operative delivery systems are not now in operation, that all merchants try and organize one, if it is at all pactical. We believe both merchants and con sumers will recognize the importance of these requests, and we ask the co operation and assistance of all people of this state, in that it may be as ef fective as possible.

An army that can make my boy get up early, work hard all day an’ go to bed early can do most anything.”—People’s Home Journal. A GOOD FRIEND. A good friend stands by you when in need. O’Neill people tell how Doan’s Kidney pills have stood the test. H. W. Ritts, carpenter, of O’Neill, en dorsed Doan’s over seven years ago and again confirms the story. Could you ask for more convincing testi mony ? “I had suffered for two years from weakness in my back and I was in such a bad way that every time I stooped, sharp twinges darted through me,” says Mr. Ritts. “A dull sort of pain through the small of my back bothered me day and night. Lots of times when I sat down it would only be with great effort I could get up again. I took only two boxe3 of Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from Gilligan & Stout’s Drug Store, and they cured me. That cure was made five years ago and I have never had any trouble with my back since.” (Statement given August 25, 1909.) THE RESULTS LASTED. On June 20, 1916, Mr. Ritts said: “I recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills even more highly than ever, because the cure they gave me is still lasting. I feel that I owe my good health to having used Doan’s.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milbrn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N.
