over the arrival of a very fine little
daughter, with the little lady and her
mother getting along very nicely.
Mrs. Harvey Rich who has been
very ill was taken to the Bryan Mem

DISTRIBUTE THE PRAYERS
Tortland, Ore. Dr. W. B. Norton,
retired clergyman and former relig
ious editor of the Chicago ribune,
urged that ministers include news
paper publsihers in their prayers. A
survey of twenty Methodist preachers
of Portland showed that only one, a
former editor, ever remembered the
news commentators In his pulpit
prayers. "It is the usual thing to
pray for presidents and other men
in public office, even when they hold
contrary economic or political views,"
Dr. Norton said. "But we forget to

Congress Sure to
Pass the Bonus
Veterans of Foreign Wars Head De
mands Present Neutrality Pol
icy Be Maintained.
Kearney, Neb. James E. Van
Zandt of Altoona, Pa, national com
mander of the Veterans or Foreign
Wars, predicted Monday the next
congress will pass a bill for payment
of the soldiers' bonus, it will be ve
toed by President Roosevelt and pass
ed over his veto.
Van Zandt, in a luncheon address
before a large crowd, also demanded
continuation of the present neutral
ity policy of the United States and
said sending American soldiers to
any foreign country to protect Amer
ican property should be permitted
only on approval in a general elec
tion. He said there is danger of the
United States becoming involved in
the threatened European war, and
declared: "If we approve and help
enforce the League of Nations' Eng
lish dictated sanctions against Italy,
England thru the league will stop
Italian supply ships; that means war,
and we will be involved."
Van Zandt urged conscription of
capital and industry on an equal basii
with manpower. In any future war
involving this country.
The adjusted service certificate,
"commonly called the bonus, is not a
bonus," he said in discussing the
problem of the disabled veteran. The
certificates represent an adjustment
to make the soldiers pay for war
time service "almost equal" to pay
given road workers in this country
during the game period, Van Zandt
said.
early this week to attend the celebra
tion of their tenth wedding anniver
sary and a very fine time was had
there being many there.
The Maytag agency here which is
managed by O. O. Kinder sold a May
tag to Lawrence Meisinger south of
Union during the early portion of
this week and one to W. A. Dixon
of near Nehawka as well as one to
E. E. Moore of Weeping Water.
Mrs. Ernest Bates who has been
in poor health for some time past and
was taken to the Bryan Memorial
hospital for treatment, is reported
getting along very fair at this time
and showing good improvement. Mrs.
Bates has a severe case of pneumonia.
Mrs. Nettie Amick, mother of our
postmaster who has been visiting
with relatives and friends in Omaha
for the past two weeks returned to
Weeping Water last Monday after
having enjoyed a very fine visit and j
is now at the Lome of her son and i
family.

Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Johnson who has
were able to return home during the
present week. Mrs. Fernbaugh went
to her home in Lincoln and Mrs. Bolz
to her home in Weeping Water. The
many friends are pleased that they
are progressing so nicely.
To Institute New Cafe.
James Knott of Nebraska City has
leased a portion of the lot owned by
the Keckler Oil company and had his
contractor Mr. Howe construct a
foundation for a restaurant which is
to be IS by 24 feet and is to be lo
cated just north of the Keckler sta
tion. This will make a good place
for this line as it is on the north and
?outh highway No. 50. This provides
Weeping Water with the fourth cafe.
Will Winter at Crete.
I Mrs. Anna Badgeley, formerly of
! Weeping Water who has been mak

rast few months returned to Weep-
ing Water last week and has been
visiting with her friend. Miss Mable
Dudley for the remainder of the week
and departed late this week for Pai
ns jra where she is visiting for a few
days and will spend her Christmas at
a body of men who doubtless wield
more public influence than any other
class in the country."
RAINFALL IN DROUTH AREA
Washington. Excessive rainfall
this year in virtually all the sec
tions hit hard by last year's long
drouth more than made up the de
ficiency in moisture. Joseph B. Kin
cer, agricultural meteorologist of the
weather bureau, pointed out that
most of last year's drouth stricken
sections had been favored this year
with rainfall beyond normal, in most
instances from 25 to 50 percent
above. In some sections there was
too much rainfall, especially in
spring and early summer, causing
f.oods and serious crop damage. That
was particularly true in the great
central valleys.
