One constituent asks these questions: How far did France get with the forty-hour week and strikes? The answer is obvious. Germany works 56 hours a day— Wasted money is wasted lives. Don’t waste precious lives. Every dollar you can spare should be used to bay War Bonds. Buy your ten percent every pay day. no strikes; England works 60 hours a day—no strikes; Russia works 66 hours a day—no strikes; Japan’s work week unlimited—no strikes. War is based on a 24-hour day. That is why bills have been introduced to increase the work week in the United States while we are at war. Government de partments are asking for 46 and 48-hour work weeks. While many people in our dist rict rejoice over the big corn crop, many farmers southwest of Lind say had very little corn. A hail storm destroyed a lot of corn in that area. Some of it was insured. Reports reach the Third Dist rict that the Nebraska delegation which is composed of all repub licans are to organize in Washing ton. Such organizations have been formed by delegations from other states. The purpose is to get to gether and work on legislation which will be of most benefit to the state represented. Each state is allowed one mem ber on the party committee on committees, and one member from each state on the party na tional congressional committee These selections are made by a vote of the state delegation. At the present time Congressman Curtis of Minden is the member on the committee on committees. The Third District member is on the national congressional com mittee. Thi Senate members have their own organization. House members consult Senate mem bers from their states from time to time. House members are al lowed on the Senate floor for vis its or conferences with their Sen tors. They have no voice in the Senate. The same is true of Sen ators with regards to the House.

County workers feel that De cember is a most appropriate month to buy war bonds; true it will be a heavy month as far as retail purchases are concerned, but for every dollar spent for merchandise by we at home, an other dollar should be invested in war bonds as a gift to our boys in the service. It will be an ap propriate gift, too, because every dollar invested in war bonds goes for providing food, clothing, guns, ammunition, and supplies, which now are so vitally necessary to the continuance of the allied of Northeast Nebraska Life Underwriters are sponsoring the sale of war bonds and stamps during the month of December.

According to figures compiled by A. J. Betzold, Madison county chairman, northeast Nebraska is to be congratulated on the splen did way in which they have made their individual quotas from month to month. “When all coun ty totals of bonds sold are added together and compared with the total county quotas, the differ ence is only very small. With a little extra effort on the part of northeast Nebraska citizens, that fensive recently begun. There is no finer way to celebrate the Holiday Season than to invest in the future by buying war bonds. Every investment made in war bonds further guarantees that American ideals will ever stand: it will give the holder of war bonds an income which will be so necessary in the reconstruction period after the war is won. It’s your America and it is worth fighting for. Make your real Christmas gift during the month of December the purchase of another United States Bond; it’s a gift you will never regret giving.
