Red Cross Items.
Sewing classes have not been as
well attended since the new year
opened, as the leaders would like, but
there are some faithful ones whose
perseverance and devotion to the
cause are admirable. New lines of
work are beginning and it is to be
hoped that a greater enthusiasm will
be evidenced soon. The making of
trench candles was commenced Wed
nesday and it is hoped that » large
^^lumber will be ready for shipment
^fm. These are made with news
papers rolled tightly and boiled in
parafln. Each one is required to
bring their old newspapers to the
school building. Also bring remnants
of silkoline, cretone or other suitable
material for comfort pillows.
Next week a class in surgical dress
ings will be organzied.
The recent drive for the Red Cross
resulted in 2303 memberships in Holt
county, as reported so far. Several
towns have not yet reported, so it is
impossible to state the entire result.

Funeral of Godfrey Egger.
The body of Godfrey Egger, who
died at the training camp at Pine
^ Bluff, Arkansas, last week after a
short illness of pneumonia, arrived in
the city last Friday evening. The re
mains were met at the train by a
detail of about thirty members of the
Home Guards, who marched behind
the | hearse to Biglin’s undertaking
parlh'rs, where the body remained
aflft* the funeral Sunday afternoon.
His parents had intended taking the
body to the Meek cemetery, but on ac
count of the severe cold weather the
remains were interred in the cemetery
here. The funeral was held from the
Methodist church last Sunday after
noon and, despite the incelment
weather, was one of the largest seen
in this city for some time. Rev. G. W.
Bruce, pastor of the Methodist church
delivered a very suitable and patriotic
funeral address. The Home Guards
attended the funeral in a body, march
ing from the undertaking parlors to
the church and from the church to the
cemetery, leading the funeral cortege
at the head of which they carried the
stars and stripes, in defense of which
Godfrey laid down his life, in the first
blush of his young manhood. He gave
all he had to give, his life for his
^country.
/ Notice To Bakers.
The attention of the bakers and
others dealing in bread in Holt county
is called to the regulations of the
Federal Food Administration govern
ing the manufacture and sale of bread.
Bread is to be made and offered for
sale only in 10 and 24 ounce loaves and
multiples thereof; where twin loaves
are baked each unit is to conform to
weight requirements. The weights
are to be net, unwrapped, 12 hours
after baking. Rolls are to be made
only in weights from 1 to 3 ounces,
determined in the same way. These
standard weights are to be taken from
the average of not less than twenty
five loaves or 5 dozen rolls.
Any dealing or dickering is for
k bidden which goes to increase the
^^rice, restrict the supply, or monopo
lize the product. Destroying any
bakery product, committing waste, or
permitting deterioration that can be
prevened is forbidden.
Fictitious price statements or mar
ket quotations are forbidden or Any
misleading statement tending to en
hance the price of bread.
No returns of bread or other bakery
products are to be accepted nor ex
change of stale products for fresh.
The violation of any of these pro
visions is punishable by the penalties
of the Food Administration Act. Un
licensed bakeries are subject to the
same penalties as licensed ones.
Referring to the small bakeries, the
administration consideres that the cost
of doing business is so low that in a
stable market for flour, which we now
have, it more than offsets the whole
sale baker’s advantage of large-jcale
buying.
The Administration, after a careful
investigation, considers that a pound,
or 16 ounce, loaf of bread can be sold,
for a fair profit, at 7 or 8 cents. This
of course is for cash-over-the-counter.

Federal Food Administrator For Holt
County.
Farmers Unions Are Retailers.
Farmers unions and members thereof
are notified that the unions have been
classified and placed under the same
rules and regulations as retailers by
the Food Administraton and may not
sell in quantities larger than those pre
mitted to other retailers.

Train Strikes Ebbensgaard Truck at
Depot Crossing.
Ewing Advocate: Sis Ebbensgaard
miraculously escaped death Tuesday
evening when west bound local freight
No. 63 struck his auto truck as the
latter was passing over the tracks at
the depot crossing. He was proceed
ing southwest with the car heavily
loaded with ear corn and did not see
nor hear the train until the engine was
almost upon him.
The big horse struck the car about
the center, throwing the driver and
cab to one side and carrying the frame
of the cap past the depot. The corn,
was strewn along the track almost to
the section house. Operator Anderson
and others immediately went to the
assistance of the stricken man, fully
expecting to find him dead or fatally
injured. But he had survived the
wreck and was able to arise and walk
up town for surgical attention. He
had received a badly cut ear and
several severe bruises, but not a bone
was broken.
It was certainly a narrow escape
from death as can be verified from
the wreck of the car. The vehicle
was almost completely demolished,
the driver’s cab being so thoroughly
wrecked that it seems impossible that
a person could have survived such a
smash-up.

THAT KNIFE-LIKE PAIN
Is Only One of Nature’s Warnings of
Weak of Disordered Kidneys.
Have you a lame back, aching day
and night? Do you feel sharp pains
after stooping ? Are the kidneys sore ?
Is their action irregular? Use Doan’s
Kidney Polls—the medicine recom
mended by so many O’Neill people.
Read this case:
Mrs. E. B. Jones, says: “There was
a dull, heavy ache and stiffness in my
back. When sitting still, I could stand
it, but when I went to get up, I had to
pull myself up and then I could hardly
bear the knife-like pains it caused. To
even bend a little or walk around, hurt
me. I knew my kidneys were causing
my suffering, bcause they acted so
often. Two boxes of Doan’s Kidney
Pills completely relieved me. On two
occasions since when I felt I needed
them they did just as good work as
ever.”
