AS THE EDITOR SEES IT Won't forget to "clean up and paint up." and while you are about it. stay up In o?her words, don't clean up ycrur pia e m the spring—giving it the onceover »*id then expect it to remain fresh and attractive the rest of your natural life. You tan clean :p today, and tomorrow there will be something else to pick up. If y ou leave it. and keep on leaving accumulations from day to day. it is only a question of a lr» .-.eelis when "that neglected appearance" i* jn evidence wherever you look And that is bad for this town It is bad f<-r the health and the locket bocks of the town It is tad every way you look a? it Bat five minutes a day will change all of this It wbl keep your pli’-e a bower of neat . and beauty, and it ».1I instil! a pride and content meat m your heart that will make you feel like another person. Try it. You will feel ’.. ter. and your (dace will look even more so. We note, though, that some people who get out on the street and bellow the loudest for civic improvement are the ones who could best put in their time cleaning up their own back yards. AA’e do not want to disparage the preac hing of civic improve mem—far from it. But we do want to advocate pra* tu lag before preac hing. The in dedent and indnferent man sits in his own rubbish and tells his neighbor what to do. while the energetic and prideful man g>»es ahead and does it and thinks in his mind what a worth lew* cuss the constitutionally “tired ooe is By the law of human nature you must be one or the other.

Economy, fortunate ly the fellow who joined that word is dead, and has no m«»ns of knowing what a delusion it is today. If our forefathers could come back to earth they would want to get right off again. This is no place for them. High prices would bankrupt them, leg shows would blind them, political rottenness would stagger them, and the greed of gold would nauseate them. No, this is no place for our forefathers, good, honest souls that they were. This, you know, is only “as the edi tor sees it.” BUYING AT HOME. The citizens of this community, whenever possible, as it invariably is. should buy the things that they need from the local merchants. This is the spirit of co-operation which will help the town to grow and in time make it bigger anc a better mar ket place. We don't want you to pay more here for what you can get cheaper somewhere else, but use your com mon stnse. You know that no man in a town a hundred miles away can send you what you order by mail, pay the expenses of his catalogues, and get a profit without charging you more than your home merchant. Be sides. you will have to wait many days before you will get the merchan dise ordered, you will have to send • our money in advance and you will run the risk of being stuck. That is just plain every day com mon sense; it's not advice. Local mer hants usually take a pride in hand ling the best of everything while ■nail order houses only hunt the heapest things they can sell. Whe •1 >-r they last or not is immaterial — "U i ant’ see the ntabount it and they ■ ill not hear you grumble. They can • M you shoddy stuff cheap but your il merchants will give you goods are standard at a reasonable ‘ric €*. WAGES AND FREIGHT RATES. The shippers of the country act in ;ranc* !y.contradictory manners. Last fall when tlie nation-wide railroad r:k.‘ was threatened they besought cress to act in order to avert the taper. The result was the Adamson w which has now been upheld after railroads had agreed to accept it * aidless of the court’s decision. The • : m at ion of the Adamson law means higher wages. These can be paid only if the revenue of the rairoads is suffi ient. Sufficient revenue can be se :red only by raising the rates. These thine- are axiomatic. Yet the shippers wi.". last fall clamored for action to avert the strike are now' flocking to 'he Interstate Commerce commission ■ oppose the petition of the railroads for higher rates to raise the revenue :<> pay the increased wages. FIGHTING NOT THE ONLY TASK. lturing the continuance of war fight i g will be our principal business But it won't be our only business by a -’rcat d*-af. All of our normal indus ■ ial and governmental activities must ontinue and it is one of the tasks of be American people to see that these ■ tivities are properly conducted. In war we shall stand by the president, but we hope we shall not have to stand 'or many appointments like that of Dr. t arv Grayson, or the debauching of he civil service, or sectional and part an appropriations. We hope that when the country stands by the Presi dent. the President will stand by the ountry to the extent of dropping, tem orarily at least, his intense partisan ship. TAKEN UP. On the A. B.

A peace society just prior to the opening of congress advertised for contributions advertising that 120.000 might save the country from the hor rors of war. It now appears that one of the objects of raising this fund was to pay the expense of several thousand mushy-minded persons to Washington, where they were to parade and to pester the representatives into refus ing to act belligerently. The project ors of the plan have read history to slight advantage. Coxey's army was the first “petition in boots" to address congress, and it is strange that its fate should have been so soon for gotten. ROUTE 2, LOUP CITY.

Beushausen re presenting the congregation are in at tendance at the spring meeting of Kearney Presbytery, which convened Tuesday afternoon at Kearney.

Subject, “The Lord's Day the Best Day.” The Hastings Glee club certainly gave a fine entertainment, and were deserving of a better audience than they had. however, we wish to thank the Christian Endeavor society for bringing them here, and hope we can have them again sometime. Baptist. It is very encouraging to note the increase in our regular church service. Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. meet ings. The Sunday school was the largest we have had this year. There was a splendid attendance at B. Y. P. U. ser vice. and much inerest manifested in the Bible study. The midweek prayer meetings are being well attended, over thirty being present last Thursday evening. The mercy seat was built for sinners, and sprinkled with the blood of Jesus for sinners, Heb. 4:6. “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” The B. Y. P. IT. had a social gather ing at the parsonage Wednesdav even ing. The subject Sunday morning will be. “Christian Service.” B. Y. P. U. and Bible study beginning at 6:30 and preaching service at 7:30. A cordial in vitation is extended to all. Methodist. The Easter services were well at tended the church being crowded in the morning. Let us get out of the “stay-at-home” rut, if we are in it, and be more regular in our attendance up on the means of grace. There were 220 at Sunday school. The special offer ing for missions was $7. The Epwortli League contest closed last Sunday. There were over 75 at the meeting. The attendance has averaged about 50. Miss Calla Cole’s side is the win ner. The race was close throughout and the points at the close were. Miss McFadden 1,755, Miss Cole 1.997. Miss McFadden’s side will furnish a social evening soon. We are very thankful to these two young ladies and their assistants for the splendid showing the League has made through their efforts. The good work will go on. We gratefully acknowledge a bucket of eggs, a basket of eggs and some canned “pep" for Easter. The Ladies’ Aid society have received a barrel of monogrammed dishes from Mr. and Mrs. R L. Arthur. That is a magnifi cent gift which our ladies are greajly delighted over. The Woman’s Home Missionary society met at the parson age. last week. It was a very enhusi astic meeting. Three new members were received. Mrs. Tracy is the presi dent and is directing the work in a way that fortells success. The ladies are raising $50 by personal subscriptions among themselves to support a moun tain white girl. God's blessing is on such unselfish service. The Ladies Aid society, always up and doing, held an open 25c kensington at the home of Mrs. Marcy Wednesday afternoon. It was one of the nicest social events of the year. A fine program was given and a delicious lunch was served.. One of the most interesting parts of the Easter program was the Cradle Roll reception. Miss Harriet Hayhurst, superintendent of the Primary Depart ment of our Sunday school was in charge. Mrs. Albert Lee and Mrs. Romeo Conger presented their babies for membership. The children of the primary department welcomed the little tots by song and prayer. Why don’t some more mothers bring their babies to such a service. It is a de lightful way to do. We will give way in the preaching service any time. And by the way. Miss Hayhurst has the nicest method of conducting the work of the primary department, and is the mose efficient primary superin tendent we have had in fifteen years. We grealy appreciate her faithfulness. Dr. G. W. Isham of Kearney visited at the parsonage Monday and conduct ed the second and third quarterly con ference. The work shows a general advance for the year thus far. Only five months till conference. Let us make them the best of the year m chrisian fellowship and service.

The winter wheat around in this vicinity is reported as being dead and most of the farmers are busy these days replanting same with spring wheat. On account of the dry weather it is very hard t{) do any kind of field work. All of the brick work on the new garage has ben completed and the roof has been finished which gives the buMding a very neat appearance. The masons are busy laving a cement firor in same and it will not be very long before the building will be com pleted. Farmers Till Railroads Right-of-VVay. A very practical conservation move ment hos been undertaken by the Chi cago. Burlington and Quincy Railroad by inducing farmers along its right-of way to cultivate the vailroad’s land ad joining their farms, over GOO country dwellers took advantage of this plan last year, paying the nominal fee of $5.00 .which entitles them to utilize the land adjoining theirs for an indefinite period. This soil, which is usually very rich because so long unfilled, is planted to alfalfa and the yield has been as high as eight tons to the acre. The average amount of land which each man cultivates is three acres. The arrangement lessens the weed menace for the near-by fields and, since alfalfa remains green a long time, it lessens the danger of prairie fires. At the same time the road is saved the cost of moving the right-of way. ESTABLISHMENT. Peterson Road.
