While the price of gas at Union

er the local station operators can
long keep the price from being in
creased. With the state and federal
tax to be added, the price of gas is
now plenty high, compared with the
market value of farm products or
the wages working men receive, and
further Increases will impose a bur
den on those who drive their cars. A
creat many car owners are already
refraining from running their cars
any more than necessary and . there
has ben a marked decrease in the

few months.

Only One Case Now
The generally healthy condition in
Union at this time is a source of sat
isfaction to the health officers and
citizens who co-operated nicely to
stamp out the spread of contagion
here. The quarantine sign has been
removed from the home of Elmer
Withrow and placed on the home of
C. H. Whitworth, where Mr. Whit-
worth and daughter. Miss Joy, were
placed In a secluded apartment so a3
to be separated from the rest of the
family, as Floy, another daughter is
down with the scarlet fever. Every
attention Is being given and she is
getting along nicely.
This arrangement allows Mr. Whit
worth to continue with his work and
thus keep things going. It is expect
ed that Miss Floy will soon be over
the disease and this will clear the
town of contagious diseases. At one
time it seemed that the disease had
gained a foothold that would make
it hard to stamp out, but the exercise
of great care to prevent further
spread, has turned the trick and now
all are congratulating themselves on
the outcome.
Celebrated Birthday
As the birthday of Homer P. Comer
came near last Sunday, his mother
entertained the families of George

Obituary of Foss Dodson
Death came to Jtoss Dodson at i
Sioux City hospital on Sunday, No
vember 13th, following an operation
Mr. Dodson had been in failing
health for some time and an examl
nation revealed ulcers of the stom
ach as the source of his trouble, the
operation being found imminent.

and Mollie Dodson, who resided in

manhood. He was also a nephew of
Mrs. D. C. LaRue, of Blair.

What Shall We Do?
The Red Cross roll call has not
reached the goal we hoped for. We
realize that everyone has to sacri
fice this year in many ways.
The invitation to Join has been
made through press, pulpit and per
sonal invitation. The reply to many
invitations has been, we are giving
at home where it is needed. A most
admirable thing to do. But, my dear
friends, do you not realize you are
giving at home when you pay 51
membership annual to your Cass
county chapter Red Cross. 50 cents
of that dollar stays in Cass county.
The other 50 cents has come back to
you in service, but perhaps you did
not realize it.
Red Cross flour has gone to every
state in the Union, and all but few
counties in Nebraska benefited there
by. Eighteen families in Liberty pre
cinct received from 1 to 3 and 4
sacks of flour up to Sept. 30. It has
cost us nothing for it was hauled to
Union by volunteer truck and work
ers. Now comes cotton distribution
for garments. Do you want it?
ine cost to the Red Cros3 national
organization is heavy . to ship flour
and cotton to us. Here is your other
CO cents being returned to you, to
take care of our own community.
We have depression but must we
suffer on top of this a great disaster
as a hurricane, tornado or flood to
learn the value of this work that is
being carried on every day by mil
lions of volunteers?
We lack courage and spirit of
thanksgiving of our forefathers and
f our efforts in caring for needy
families are united much more can
be done. Now is the time for united
