WILLOW LAKE BOUGHT BY
NORFOLK SPORTSMEN
Willow Lake, located 10 miles south
west of Chambers in Holt county, has
been purchased by half a dozen Nor
folk sportsmen who made the purchase
in order to ha’, c a private place where
they can fish and hunt. The idea is
to organize the “Willow Lake Gun
Club” and more charter members are
going to be added from time to time.
Among those who are interested in the
purchase of the lake are, William and
Robert Weatherholt. Alfred Howser,
Robert Powers, H. F. Thenhaus, Ar
thur Schultz and Gunder Gunderson.
The lake contains 100 acres and the
land which goes with the deal about
twenty acres. The camping site is
improved. Has a fine club house,
garage and sheds.
About 5,000 ducks have been
hatched on the lake this year and the
hunting on the lake will open shortly
after September 16. The water
abounds with bull heads, chappies and
eventually the new owners will stock
the waters with bass.
HAPPILY WED.
(Ewing Advocate.)
A very pretty home wedding oc
curred at the home of Mrs. Lottie
Benson on Tuesday morning, July 25,
at 7:30, when Miss Margaret Grace
Benson was united in marriage to Mr.
John Ward Dalton, of Chicago, 111.,
Rev. J. B. Porter, of the United Pres
byterian church officiating. Only the
immediate family witnessed the cere
mony. »
The ring ceremony was used, little
Phyllis Benson acting os ring bearer.
Immediiately after the ceremony, a
bountiful wedding breakfast was
served. The newlyweds left on the
morning train for Monmouth, Illinois,
for a short honeymoon, after which
they will make their home in Chicago.
The bride is so well and favorably
known here that it is useless for us to
dwell upon her many virtues and ac
complishments. She graduated from
the Ewing public schools, and for the
past two years has been a teacher in
the same schools. She has been active
in church and social circles here, j»nd
will be greatly missed by all her
friends.
The groom is an expert accountant
in Chicago, and he, as well as his new
life partner, are both graduates of
Monmouth. He is a young man of
sterling quality, and we predict for
this happy couple a long and blissful
wedded life.
DECISIVE ACTION
NEEDED IN COAL
STRIKE SITUATON
Every week of which the parties to
the strike take to “inquire” into the
situation brings us that much nearer
a crisis which threatens to destroy the
recent national revival of business.
The only fact which is changing with
this passage of time is the amount of
reserve fuel available in this country.
Everything else is exactly as it was
when the strike began more than three
months ago. Fundamental conditions
behind the strike are the same now as
then, evcept for depreciation of re
serves. Any investigation which may
be undertaken today or next week or
next month can reveal only the same
material facts which would have been
revealed three months ago. Obviously
it is useless to delay longer.
The government should make that
clear to miners and operators. If they
still refuse to come together on the
matter of wages and working condi
tions which will at the same time pro
tect the rights of the consumer, they
should understand that a government
for the people must of necessity in
sure a supply of fuel which will keep
the industries of the country in op
eration and provide heat for homes ir
the coming winter.
The President cannot be too em
phatic upon that point. His recem
statement that “labor and capital hav<
rights, but above all else the Ameri
can public has the right to be freer
from these recurring anxieties,” ex
presses nothing but the truth. Bui
the direct parties to the strike have
proved that they are unimpressed by
the truth. If they maintain th. t at
titude any longer, definite prepara

tions should be made for the govern
ment to take at least temporary con
trol of the mines and act to resume
production. Without such resumption
a few weeks will see the country on
the verge of industral collapse if not
of starvation. Food can be neither
transported nor prepared in adequate
quantities in this country without
coal. Virtually no industry can oper
ate without it. If the operators and
miners cannot agree to give it to us,
the government must.—Chicago Trib
