Cedar Creek Department
A SHORT VISIT
TO THE VILLAGE
OF CEDAR CREEK
We Found the Triving Little Village
in Most Prosperous Condition, the
Business Men Doing Well.
On Tuesday afternoon of this week,
the Journal man took a few hours va
cation from the toils that surround the
average newspaper shop, and made a
brief visit to the little villags of Ced
ar Creek For some time we have
thought of adding a Cedar Creek De
partment to the columns of the Journ
al, but for some reason or other we
have never been able complete such
arrangements up to the present time.
We have known that there were some
of the business men of Cedar Creek
that desired using the columns of the
Journal for the purpose of advertising
their goods and ware for sale, but up
to this week we have never placed the
matter squarely before them. This
week we are making the first steps to
ward a Cedar Creek Department in
this paper, and some of the business
men, in fact all that we were able to
see on this visit have displayed their
willingness to patronize such a propo
sition. In this issue will be found an
advertisement for the new bank, The
First Security Bank; also one for the
Cedar Creek Lumber Co., and S. J.
Rearres, the village tonsorialist, and
others that will no doubt appear later.
These gentleman were all that we
were able to see on this trip with the
exception of Wolff & Ault, who will
have an ad for us in time for the next
issue. Our time was very much lim
ited upon this occasion, and we were
unable to visit all the business houses
on this trip. These advertisements
will be found in each Thursday issue
of the Journal in the future, and it
will sure pay the buying public of this
community to atch for their regular
weekly announcements.
In securing this new business for
the columns of the Journal it was
of course our first duty to call upon
the various firms business houses, the
first of which was the First Security
Bank. Here we found the genial cash
ier, Mr. J. F. Foreman, on the "job,"
and into the business like an old time
establishment. This bank opened its
doors for business on the last day of
September, and starts out under very
flattering conditions. The business
has been on the increase since that
date, and Mr. Foreman tells us that
the outlook for the future and the in
crease in business has been more fav
orable than he had expected for the
first thirty days. The First Security
Bank is in every way equipped for the
transacting of an up-to-date banking
business, and under the able manage
men of Mr. Foreman we predict that
its future will be one of success. In
the front of the room, outside of the
cashier's department stands their
large safe' which is of the new May
nard Manganese Steele three time
lock tjpe, one of the best and safest
that is made today, or.e that is abso
lutely guaranteed burglar and fire
proof, and weighing 2000 pounds, it is
most too heavy for the burglar io
carry off, so from this source your
money is safe. In this bank your de
posits are also guaranteed by the State
Guaranty Fund. Mr. Foreman came
from Papillion to Cedar Creek, but is
You Surely Don't
Need Lumber Right Now!
We know you don't, for if yon did you
would have been in here for us to fig
ure with you on the bill. We know
you will need it some time, and we
want you to remember that we are
here to do that figuring with you and
do it RIGHT, too. It always pays to
get our prices.
Cedar Creek Lumber
3 COMPANY C
a native of Ohio, and from our short
acquaintance, we can truthfully say
that he is one of the finest young men
that we have ever met, and the Cedar
Creek people are indeed fortunate in
securing such a man to embark in the
banking business in their midst.
The officers of the First Security
Bank are as follows: Wm. Schneider,
president; W. H. Lohnes, viccpresi
dent, and J. F. Foreman, cashier. The
two former gentlemen are old resi
dents of this county, and need no in
troduction to the people of this com
munity, where they have resided so
long, and where they hold the confi
dence of all who know them.
After a few minutes visit with Mr.
Foreman at the bank, we next made
a brief call at the store of Wolff &
Ault, where we found both of these
gentlemen up to their eyes in work,
arranging for the fall business. They
were busy loading out a car of apples
and receiving in car load lots salt and
flour and other provisions for the win
ter. In their implement line they have
been busy this fall, only the last few
days turning out three new farm wag
ons in addition to the other business.
This is surely one business in Cedar
Creek that has grown in vast pro
portions since our last visit out
there. They have added the imple
ment line, as well as automobiles and
all kinds of supplies and accessories.
Their regular stock of groceries, dry
goods and hardware h&s also greatly
increased, and additions to their store
room has been added to accommodate
these lines.
From here went over to the Cedar
Creek Lumber Co., where we found
Paul Roberts as jovial and good na
tured as ever, and gave us a hearty
welcome into their city. Paul is the
present mayor of Cedar Creek, and if
he continues to take the active part in
everything that is for the best for his
town in the future that he has in the
past he will no doubt hold the office as
long as he chooses.. Well, laying all
jokes aside, he is a mighty good fel
low, and is enjoying a good business in
his line, and is deserving of all and
even more than he gets. He is an
up-to-date lumberman and has a yard
of the same value in every particular,
and the people around Cedar Creek
know it, that is the best part of it all.
We also enjoyed a few moments
chat with S. J. Reames, the tonsorial
artist of the city, and found him the
same good natured gentleman of old,
and ever ready to lend a helping hand
for any movement that would tend to
boost Cedar Creek.
Owing to the brief time at our dis
posal at this time we were unable to
call at the general merchandise store
of Mrs. Ruth Thomsen, but will on the
next occasion. We venture to say that
they are enjoying the same good busi
ness that is prevalent among the bus
iness houses of Cedar Creek. There
.are still others that we would liked
to have seen but could not make it.
We will do our part to retain a
Cedar Creek department in the col
umns of the Journal in the future.
We will make another visit to this
point again next week. Help us by
sending in all the news you can find
in your locality.

Congress Will Ee Asked to Appropriate

Next Five Years Needs 11,500 Wore

Cruisers on Program.
Auxiliary vessels for the American,
la vy will be drawn entirely from a
government owned merchant marine,
according to the present plans of the
administration. Secretary of the Navy
Daniels has explained fully why he
had not included in his five year build
ing program any provision f"r auxil
iaries to the navy, which will be need
ed in time of war.
The designs of the government owned
merchant vessels have been approved
by the bureau of construction and re
pair of the navy department, so that
little change will lie required to con
vert the vessels from cargo carrying
ships to supply ships and colliers. The
secretary of the navy will insist that
the crews of the vessels will be made
up entirely of American citizens.
The five year program for new con
struction iu the navy and for increased

The live year program outlined by
Mr. Daniels and npproed ly the pres
ident provides for. in addition t con
struction already authorized, the fol
lowing vessels: Ten dreadnaughts. 6is
battle cruisers, ten scout cruisers, fifty
destroyers, fifteen fleet sublimities,
eighty-five coast submarines, four gun
boats, one hospital ship, two amnn.id
tion ships, two fuel oil ships and on
repair ship.
The First Year Program.
Of this total the plan calls for the
authorization this year of the follow
ing: Two dreadnaughts. two battle

called attention to tin fact that the
Sixty-third congress in authorizing five

twenty-six submarines had provided
the largest program of any one eon-,

NEW COLOR FOR UNIFORM
SAVES U. S. ARMY MONEY.
Suits Will Not Be Dyed, but Made
From Mixed Wool.
Uncle Sam may find thnt the Euro
pean war has saved him a few hun
dred thousand dollars iu the price of
uniforms if the present tests of mate
rial are successful. The shortage iu
dyestuffs has caused the war depart
ment some concern, ami the next set
of uniforms for our gallant sldier
boys is apt to be made of naturally
colored goods. This means that the
annual expenditure of $t;.)o.ooo for
the army, most of which goes into the
clothing of regulars, will probably be
cut a great deal.
Since the beginning of the war the
quartermaster's department has found
the securing of the regulation olive
drab goods, of which the regular uni
form is made, a difficult proposition.
Th- dye, which is manufactured iu
Germany, cannot be brought across
the ocean because of Croat Britain's
blockade of German commerce. Xat
urally soiue substitute had to be
found.
The quartermaster began to look
around. He was up a pretty big tree
until Brigadier General Henry G.
Sharpe noticed that a mixture of un
colotvd wool made a neutral color. jut
the shade that was wanted to bide our
boys from any fancied foo. The wool
of the black and white lambs or sheep
when proin-rly mixed gives an odd
lirowni.-li gray color tht would make
a great disguise for laud forces. The
enemy might circle al! day over a field
in which a thousand soldi -rs were hid
den and not know they were there un
less the men indiscreetly showed their
fa-ts.
Black wool as It comes from the ani
mal i varied in its shading from a
dirty brown to a jet black. If mixed
and woven with the white it gives a
color that is a cross between the earth
and a fog.
To tit out a new recruit now costs
nearly $150. including dress, service
and khaki uniforms. This can be done
for Sion with the new goods, it is esti
mated. SOBER CHAUFFEURS NEEDED.
Safety First Demands Mental, Moral
and Physical Examinations.
As a result of the first annual con
vention of the Safety First Federation
of America iu Detroit, efforts will be

adopted throughout the United States.
The most important of these sugges
tions provide for legislation requiring
mental, moral and physical examina

tirenrms except upon police certifi
cates, free distribution of tetanus
serum by the state, enactment of laws
prohibiting the sale of poison, exile of
