From Friday's Iaily. Arrangements have been about completed for the opening in the near future of a iii.ht school, for the teaching cf distinctly, the American language, and American civic law, which will enable all who are not American citizens to under stand what Americanism means. To the candidates for American citizen ship, it is required that they shall understand the laws and institu tions under which they elect to live, and be able to speak and writ the American language. The Hoard cf Education and the superintendent of the city schools, have evinced their readiness to take hold cf the mat ter in a way which is insuring its success from the beginning. Had the idea of American citizenship in its 'full sense been inculcated, in stead of some one desiring to hire some one because he could speak s :ne other language, in order to se cure that portion of that trade, thirds would have been different when the time came for the mak ing of Americans out of thrsse who proWbly did not understand it to its fullest.

From Friday's Pallv. Why farmers continue to raise scrub hogs, when they eat as much good corn, and do not produce as much flesh as a good breed is a question which is hard to under stand. Good hogs cost good money, and are worth it. No one would ex pect to get something for nothing, and those who look for such, will surely be disappointed. The opportunity is here now for the farmers to get good hogs, and ones which are safe. Hirtz, Rum mcll and Schaeffer, will hold a sale of fine Duroc Jersey Reds, fifty male hogs age for service at the botn of Henry Hirz, 6 miles west, Oct. ICth, sale commencing at one o'clock sharp. Col. W. R. Young will con duct the sale, while Geo. O. Dovey will act as clerk. This is an op portunity to get immune made hogs which acclimated, and are known to be in a healthy condition. Remem ber the time and date and improve your hogs, you will save money, and make more. VISITING OLD HOME HERE. From Thursday's Daily. Will G.

GOOD TIE TO 60 OVER TO! The Nebraska and American Spirit Is To Do the Thins Whole Heartedly. From Friday's Daily. With the call for $1, 250. S00, which is two times that of the Third Liberty loan, it makes the blood tingle, and the nerves quiver as the muscles harden for the dash, of a few days to win, by sub scribing for more than we are asked for. Wc should more easily go over the top this .time, than at the other calls. At this time we have more friends on the other side, we have more son? there, we have more brothers there, more sweethearts there, and mere to go. Sure we can see the way clear to subscribe to the limit if necessary. Not taking into the consideration that the buy ing of the bonds is an excellent busi ness proposition, we should get af ter it as a patriotic proposition, and for the sake of our love for the boys who are not spending alone their times, ft r they have thrown away the good position for the $.10.00 per month while we are getting many times that amount". Do we want to be fair, or do we want to be slack ers, if not we must get after the amount and do it at this time, with a will and energy which wlil win. Remember that this county is to furnish one million two hundred and fifty thousand, and five hund red dollars. DAUGHTERS OF REVOLUTION. HAVE BEEN DOING GREAT WORK DURING THE WAR.

PERMITS TO CONTINUE WORK Where Work Is In Progress Permits Are Required To Finish Work. i-'rom F TiOay's Dally. The Council of Defense have ju?t received instructions, which make it obligatory, on them to maintain a committee to iu.-pect all building wor!:, and to refuse or allow same to proceed, until a permit has been granted for that purpose coming freni the state council or its fiip- ervisatorv board, and in case cf a new structure, which it is desired to build, the permit must come from Washington. The temporary com mittee, which has been appointed here, is James M. Robertson and ( C. Wescott, who wt'.l have jurisdic tion, until other arrangements have been perfected covering the matter. The ruling of the board at Wash ington having this matter in hand, is one far-reaching in its effects, as it even includes within its sphere. the building cf silos, for the storing of the crops, which are now ready for caring. Where it can be shown that the improvement or new con struction, will be in line with the assistance in winning the war, it will be permitted. No improvement will be allowed in any case, which amounts to over $2,D00 and no new work will be allowed at all which does not come in the sphere of nccessarv to win the war. President cf the county council, Li. F. Eanghorst, has appointed the temporary committee, consisting of :dr. C. C. Wescott and Mr. J. M. Robertson, until a full meeting of the council can be had, when . a permanent committee will be named. MADE AN ELOQUENT PLEA. From Saturday's Pally Last evening at the speaking at the commercial club advertisement of the Liberty Loan drive, at which Lieut. Herold Baldwin, gave the ad dress, Mrs. Frank Dunbar made an address with more pep and good common sense in it than we have heard for many a day. Mrs. Dunbar whose whole soul and energies are wrapped up in the winning of the war and alleviating the conditions of those who are in jured thereby; made an appeal for the purchase of bonds and thereby helping in the winning of this struggle for humanity. If four min ute addresses were like the one last night filled with enthusiasm and earnestness coupled with concrete facts stated in a way they would ap peal to the hearers, they would be a means of a great education, and stirring cf interest in the things pertinent to the winning of the war.

To a house not so well filled last evening and cue not so responsive as it might have been to the address which he made, Lieut. Baldwin spoke for nearly two hours, telling of the things, which have happen ed and are happening in the battle fields of France and Flanders. His appeal to the people, to support this war, and the boy3 who are lighting was to the parent and one which should be a strong motive for the going over the top in the drive for the bonds which begins at an early date. The story of his experience, began when he was fanning in Sas katchewan, and told how he at last arrived in England and then in France. He desired to say that of the soldiers who first went to France from Canada, the larger per cent were English born and that when Canada had struck, it was a stroke of England. Speaking of the runners, who were for carrying of messages when the telephone and telegraph lines were down during the battle, he says with fire from every company in the division, at the beginning of a certain battle in which he was one, at the end there were only seven in all.
