YOUTH HAS RIGHT OF WAY.
There is no enduring energy like
that induced by the burning lire of
youth. There is no pill, no tonic, no
spiritual exaltation, no elixir that
can take its place. Youth laughs at
privation and hardship, at snow and
told, rain and sleet, that creep into
the bones of ago and lodge there.
There are men beyond 40 as hard
as nails and a.s enduring, but theso
are few, tempered by a rigorous life,
and will form no important propor
tion of the new army. In the field
of battle youth will be found in the
front line, and age serving it. With
modern war's industrial and service
demands ago will find quite as im
portant dutie3 behind the lines as
on the firing lines. Seattle Post-In-telilgencer.
those boy's of ours over there?
Xo; that isn't the whole question
Nobody will say "no" to that ques
tion; nobody would dare.
The real question is this: llow
much will you back up those boys of
ours over there?
Just a little? Just enough to save
your face and keep up appearances?
You can do that very cheaply. Buy
ing a $50 Liberty bond gives you the
right to wear a Liberty bond button;
the same button exactly that it
worn bv the man who has bought
every penny s worm ne can carry
linviner a. nuarter Thrift stamp a
month gives you the right to wear a
war stamp button. Tipping the lied
Cross with a dollar gives you the
right to decorate yourself as a sup
porter of that noblest of causes.
But are you that kind of a pat-
iot? God pity you t you are! And
God pity America if a majority of
its people were that kind of patriots!
How much will you back up those
bovs of ours over there? To the
limit, as they are doing and giving?
Good; then you will buy every dol
lar's worth of Liberty bonds of the
fourth Liberty loan that you can
stagger under.
This loan Is the largest yet. It
calls, therefore, for the greatest sac
rifices yet made. If you bought to
the limit last time, you must double
your limit this time. For America
to fail on this call would be for
America to desert the boys it has
sent over there to fight for its self
respect and its liberties. Failure,
therefore, is unthinkable, impossible.
There is t lie whole, issue of the
fourth Liberty loan. Take it home
with you. Sit in quiet counsel with
yourself, and ask yourself how much
you will back up those boys of ours
over there; as little as you can get
away with, or a.s much as you can
get away with? Duluth Herald.

.RUSSIA'S DARKEST HOUR.
In the midst or the confusion
which prevails throughout Russia,
American troops have landed at
j Archangel. Although their num
i hers are not announced it is pre
sumed that the force consists of but
a few regiments of picked men, mo.-d
of them Russian in origin and all
from the colder sections of the
United States.
Their arrival is most opportune.
From the parts of Russia still under
the control of the Bolsheviki come
reports of widespread anarchy and
terrorism. The mad leaders of the
Soviet, having brought ruin and
shame to their country, are trying to
postpone the hour of vengeance
which, awaits them by the instiga
tion of a reign of terror that recalls
the worst deeds of Robespierre and
St. Just. The so-called Commissions
for the Suppression of a Counter
Revolution, the prototype of the
French Revolutionary Tribunal, are
sending men and women to their
death by the hundred. The bourgeois
are being hunted down relentlessly
and the sight of gangs of prisoners
marching off to prison has beccme
a common thing in Moscow and
Petrograd. Xo act of madness seems
beyond Trntzky and his associates.
The are destroying every town that
resists their will, they threaten to
reduce Moscow to ashes, Petrograd is
reported already to be in flames.
This wild orgy can mean but one
thing. The Bolsheviki are quaking
before the imminent fate that their
betrayal of Russia, their incompe
tence have invited. They know that
the people are stirring to rid them
selves of the nightmare of their
hideous misrule. The terror they
havo invoked is born of the terror
within their souls.
Every Russian who loves his coun
try, who values law and order, must
long with all his soul for the hour of
deliverance. Those whose property
has been confiscated, whose business
has ben ruined, whose relatives

the People of Plattsmouth
and. Cass County!
We are to-day closing our restaurant, which has been doing a splendid busi.
ness, simply because we have opened the dining room in the hotel, and everything
there is in first-class shape. We will cater to the wants of the people by serving
everything as we did in the restaurant, from sandwiches and short orders to a com
plete meal. We want to assure the people of our most sincere appreciation of
their patronage accorded us in the past, and hope to meet one and all in our new
location and continue our pleasant business relations.
Make the Wagner Hotel your stopping and meeting place, and be assured
of a hearty welcome, whenever you come. Cleanliness, fair dealing, courteous
treatment and excellent quality is the basis of our claim for your consideration.
Respectfully,

BUY LIBERTY BONDS AND NOW.
Last eveninjr at the picture shows,
C ('. Wcscott spoke on the subject
of the purchase of Liberty bonds, or
more correctly tpeakinjr, he i?ave
some of the agencies through which
the war is to be won.
One of them and one of the strong
est elements which shall po into the
victory, and that in the shortest
time is the providing funds, for the
equipping' of the soldier boys, the
placing them well trained on foreign
s:ul. and backing them in every way.
This is the thing which is going to
make the winning of the war easier.
Luy bonds, and buy them in plenty,
and do it willingly, thankfully that
we can for he that buys now and
helps hurry the matter is doing two
fold with his money, besides keeping
it as well.
The address of Mr. Wescott was a
very neat one and had many telling
points. - '

WOODMAN CIRCLE GIVE DANCE.
Last evening at the Woodman hall
the ladies of the Woodman Circle
gave one of their charming dances,
at which there were a large number
present and at which there was a
most enjoyable time had. The music
was entrancing, (as the Kroehler
orchestra needs no introductory for
good music) and everyone seemed to
perfectly enjoy the occasion to the
fullest extent. The ladies of the
Woodman Circle surely know how to
make their guests feel at home at
their entertainments which they
will give every month.
