How far reaching iB the work of the Red Cross is now being demonstrated by the organization in O’Neill of a home service section. It is the function of this department, to meet the needs which may arise in the families of men who are now or soon will be at the front. Miss Verna El singer, field representative of the Civilian relief department, under whose jurisdiction this activity falls, spent Saturday and Sunday in O’Neill assisting in perfecting this organiga tion. Miss Elsinger spoke Sunday morning and evening in the Presby terian church, to a large number of people, who showed great interest and enthusiasm. The purpose of this work is, chiefly, to see that by keeping the minds of men at ease about their home and loved ones, the morale of the army will be maintained. Home Service section will undertake to see that the standard of the home is maintained, children kept in school, and the health of various members of the family watched, that the proper working con ditions surround those members of the family who are employed—and that the spiritual life is not neglected. The Home Service Section will be equipped to meet all legal and medical needs. It will also undertake to fur nish financial aid when necessary, and the point was emphasized that this was not in the nature of charity, but should be given in a spirit of thorough democracy—when families were un able to meet financial obligations, those requirements necessary to insure the health and comfort of each of its members. Complete confidence must be observed by the members of the Home Service Section, as to any infor mation which comes to their attention. Miss Elsinger stated that the ethics of Home Service demanded this, just as absolutely as does the ethics of the medical profession. A_i.1_ _ _ J? TT__ n_• _ •_ Anotner pnase oi Home service is that of friendly visits to the families in our community, who have made such great sacrifices, that our war for democracy may be won. As we pro gress farther it will be necessary to see that the spirits of the wives, mothers and sisters do not break under the strain. In each home from which a man has gone forth to fight, the Home Service will be on hand to furnish sympathy and cheer. One of the most necessary activi ties of the Home Service Section is the information service to families and relatives of men in the Army and Navy. This comprises assistance in the matter of obtaining allowances and allotments and explanations of the law when this is needed, application for compensation when death or disa bility occurs will also be made through this service. The Home Service Section will also be prepared to furnish advice and in formation as to communicating with boys who are taken prisoners, how to send mail under various conditions. It will undertake to obtain details re garding conditions under which our boys may have been injured or how they lost their lives. It was explained that “searchers” are being maintained by the Red Cross in all the hospitals and rest stations along the battle front whose duty it is to make daily reports to headquarters of the men coming in and leaving during the day, thus furnishing in many instances, means of tracing men who are reported mis sing. The Home Service Section will not only assist the soldier’s family in his absence, but is already looking forward to the time when our boys will return maimed and handicapped from wounds. The Government has made plans to re educate disabled men, for some pro ductive employment but it will de vevolve upon the Home Service sec tion to organize its community re sources, so as to be ready to give these men employment in their home towns on their return. It is expected that in the very near future a Holt County Red Cross meeting will be called, and at that time delegates will be sent from each chapter and unit in the County and Home Service organiza tion perfected. Mrs. W .T. Evans has been appointed as Chairman of the Home Service Department in O’Neill and has chosen for her committee the following: Physician. Dr. J. P. Gilligan. Lawyer, T. F. Nolan. Business Men, O. O. Snyder, S. J. Weekes. Visitation, Mrs. W. P. Curtis, Mrs. C. C. Millard, Mrs. J. H. Meredith, Mrs. Geo. Longstaff. Chambers Railroad Promoters Arrested. The Albion-Atkinson railroad, by way of Chambers, already has struck hard sledding and the road now prob ably will not be built for several months. Samuel D. Pullen, head of the proposed railroad company, and James R. Ryan, one of the promoters, were arrested by Sheriff Duffy at Chambers last night on complaint of County Attorney Boyle. The pro moters had called a public meeting at Chambers to sell stock. County At torney Boyle stopped the efforts of the promoters because they did not have a permit from the blue sky department of the state railway commission and the men were brought to O’Neill, where a hearing will be held before County Judge Malone May 1.

The funeral of Mrs. Joseph Ryan, of St. Paul, Minn., formerly of O’Neill, was held from St. Patrick’s church Tuesday morning, burial being in Calvary cemetery. Mrs. Ryan, formerly Miss Helen Margaret Throckmorton, was a resi dent of O’Neill for several years be fore her marriage to Joseph Ryan, of O’Neill, son of Mrs. E. J. Mullally, of Chambers, which took place April 28, 1917. Last fall Mr. and Mrs. Ryan removed to St. Paul, where Mrs. Ryan’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Throck morton reside, and since that time have made that city their home. Mrs. Ryan was taken ill of pneumonia shortly after the birth of their only child, a week ago, and both mother and child succumbed to the dread disease Thursday, April 4. The bodies were accompanied to O’Neill by the sorrowing husband and parents of Mrs. Ryan, and were laid away to gether. Mrs. Ryan, who was but twenty-two years of age at the time of her death, made many and sincere friends during her residence in O’Neill, with whom The Frontier joins in extending con dolences to the bereaved husband and relatives. Holt County First In The State. j Holt county was the first county in the state to receive the subscription blanks for the Third Liberty Loan. They arrived Monday. This recogni tion of the county was due to the efforts of S. J. Weekes, director of the loan for this county whose energetic preliminary work and organization gave Holt a big lead over all the others in the preparation. Mr. Weekes has perfected a complete working organ isation down to the smallest political subdivision and the systematic cam paign already is showing results in that practically 60 per cent of the city and county quota already has been subscribed. The local troop of the Boy Scouts of America have greatly as sisted in the distribution of advertis ing matter and information and im mediately after 12 o’clock Sunday night, under the leadership of Scout Master John Bernard O’Sullivan and Chief of Police Kerwin, distributed advertise ments and liberty bells to each resi dence in the city that all citizens on arising Monday morning would know that it was time to buy bonds. Through the efforts of Mr. Weekes, j who discovered that the quota of the loan assigned to Holt county was too large, through a clerical error, the error was corrected and the quota now is $411,000, divided as follows: Townships. Atkinson . $15,626 Chambers . 12,000 Cleveland . 8,925 Conley . 4,950 Coleman . 5,800 Deloit . 9,900 Dustin . 4,250 Emmet . 10,025 Ewing . 5,625 Fairview . 5,475 Francis . 10,725 Grattan . 21,100 Greenvalley . 9,800 Golden . 10,050 Inman . 16,050 Iowa . 9,300 Josie . 3,100 Lake . 10,625 McClure . 7,000 Paddock . 10,725 Rockfalls . 7,450 Pleasant View . 7,600 Sand Creek . 9,175 Saratoga . 5,650 Scott . 8,605 Shamrock . 6,050 Sheridan . 12,625 Shields . 12,600 Steel Creek . 8,825 Stuart . 25,600 Swan . 4,725 Verdigris . 12,350 Willowdale . 6,175 Wyoming . 8,126 Cities and Villages.

Fleharty of Omaha, delivered at the patriotic meeting at the K. C. hall Sat urday evening, in the interest of the Third Liberty Loan, was one of the most forceful and masterful addresses of this nature ever given before an O’Neill audience. Mr. Fleharty was to have spoken Saturday afternoon, but bad train con nections prevented his arrival in the city until late in the afternoon and the meeting was held in the evening, all business houses closing for the pur pose. The large hall was filled _ to overflowing with an audience which listened spellbound to the eloquence of the speaker and the address un doubtedly induced many new subscrip tions to the bonds and the doubling of . amounts previously pledged. Mr. Fie harty was preceded by S. J. Weekes, j in charge of the bond sale for Holt ^ county, who explained the details and d amount the county is expected to con- H tribute. Several selections were given K by the Presbyterian choir and after D Mr. Weekes’ address Mayor E. H. B Whelan, who presided, introduced the p speaker of the evening. The por- C trayal by Mr. Fleharty of conditions B over there, and of the nation’s needs, [ was so graphic that one almost could i hear the roar of musketry and thunder B of artillery and see the atrocities com- f mitted by the barbarians. 6 Are You A Propagandist! German propagandists actively are at work, seemingly, with the circula tion of reports that those engaged in the war activities, such as the Red Cross, the Liberty Loan drive, the sale of Thrift Stamps, the Fuel and Food administration, are receiving remuner ation for such work in Holt county. The propaganda is for the purpose of discouraging the efforts of the several organizations all of which are branches of the government prosecution of the war. For the information of the un informed it is authoritively stated that the persons engaged in this work in Holt county or any other county re- ' ceive absolutely no remuneration for their work and are paying their own ■ expenses out of their own pockets. To be more definite: Ed. F. Gallagher re ceives no commission on the sale of war stamps. Mrs. Charles E. Stout does not receive $100 or $150 a month or any other amount for her untiring efforts, nor do any of her young lady assistants. John Weekes and James O’Donnell and other liberty bond workers in the county do not get a cent. Chairman Dickson and the mem bers of the Council of Defense are not paid for their labors. Fuel Adminis trator Cronin and his committee work for nothing and pay the same prices for coal as other people. Food Ad ministrator Hunter and his assistants receive no pay whatever, not even groceries, and are required to buy sub stitutes with their wheat flour the same as any one. The Red Cross does not knit sweaters and helmets, or any thing else, for private sale. There is absolutely no rake off for the officials or workers in any of these activities and the person who tells you that they do is assisting in the spreading of German propaganda. The next time you hear one of these “rumors” kindly give the name of your informant, even though he or she says the information came from the friend of a friend, to the county attorney and then, under the sedition act, the circulator of the rumor will have opportunity to prove the statement or meditate in jail. $3,000,000,0001 in Liberty Bonds will be offered in the Third Liberty Loan Campaign NEBRASKA’S QUOTA $31,942,800 Are you doing your share while our boys are offering their lives? If a free America is worth fighting for, it is your patriotic duty to lend your money and your credit to our Government. The whole nation must take part. Our boys in France are appealing to us to furnish them in great abundance with the arms, the ammunition, and the supplies which will make an early victory possible. If we are not to prolong the slaughter or suf fering, if we are not to risk defeat, if we do not want an inconclusive peace, we must act quickly. We must put forth our every effort NOW.
