MOTOR OILS « ka»o*a» oa COMMUTV —* AMONG THE NATIONAL LEADERS Washington, May 16.—(Special Cor respondence) — Representative Nor man J. Gould, of New York, comes out strong for universal military training, believing it one of the most import ant factors of the present crisis, and one which should be adopted as a permanent national policy. “The point made by several opponents of pre j paredness, that this country and i»s people might develop into a militaris tic nation, is too absurd to be serious ly considered,” declares Mr. Gould, “as we have built our laws and in stitutions on the foundations prepar ed by the forefathers, whom we re vere, and our long and glorious re cord has developed no trace of a de sire for conquest.” Gould recently of fered a resolution in congress pro viding for a bounty of $5,000 to the first crew that sent a German devil ship to the place where liquid fire is a refreshing beverage. Won a Democratic Stronghold Congressman Mark R. Bacon of Michigan, enjoys the unique distinc tion of having celebrated only fifteen birthdays. He w-as born on February 20th. Although he now holds his first elective office. Representative in con gress. he is one of many republicans who last fall succeeded in ousting democrats who had represented their districts for several years and who had presumably intrenched them selves by a liberal use of the frank ing privilege and a generous distribu tion of political patronage. Mr. Bacon has retired from active participation in business affairs, and his friends know that he will give the same close attention to matters coming before congress that brought him such mark ed success in the business world. For Retirement of Aged Federal Employees. A contributory retirement plan for employees of the federal civil ser vice has been prepared by Represen tative Porter H. Dale, of Vermont, embodying all the best features of similar bills which have been hereto fore introduced in the House. Mr. Dale has made provisions for the re tirement of all employees for age or disability on graduated annuities based on length of service. Contribu tions from employees’ salaries of two per cent are to be made, to be re turned upon separation from the ser \ vice before reaching retirement age. Mr. Dale has given close study to the subject, and has evolved a bill which he hopes will meet the objections ofj jail who have prtviously opposed su-lr legislation. Wants No Foreign Recruiting Here. The proposition to permit recruit ing officers of other countries; to enter the I nited States and endeavor to [ enroll in their military service such of their citizens as may be living among us did not meet with the ap proval of Congressman Albert Jolin , son of the State of Washington. Such men are entering our own Army and Navy, and prefer to fight under our J flag rather than that of the country they have left, and to permit foreign enlistment officers to work in this country would tend to destroy the fusing effect of the war on the foreign element in our citizenship. “I am pledged to support all measures that might tend to hasten the end of the war,” declares Mr. Johnson, ••but this bill, if enacted. I am convinced will do more harm than good.” NEBRASKA STATE RAILWAY COM MISSION AUTHORIZES MIL LION DOLLAR ISSUE. A news item which is of consider able interest to Nebraska people who are watching the growth and expan I sion of the middle west in every di i rection w^s the recent granting of per j mission by the Nebraska State Rail way Commission to the North Ameri can Hotel Company, after a most ex haustive investigation of this Com pany’s securities .to place $1,000,000 worth of its Preferred Stock in this state. The North American Hotel Com pany is incorporated under the Iowa corporation laws, which are widely and favorably'known for their very string ent requirements governing the issue and sale of stock. The North American Hotel • Com pany. besides its present properties, is building hotels at Kearney, Scotts Bluffs and Grand Island in Nebraska; .another is being erected at Hampton, Iowa, and work is to start soon on a 2S0-room hotel building at Sioux City, Iowa. According to a prominent busi ness and hotel man connected with this Confpany, the present buildings under way by the North American Hotel Company are only a good start in the direction of what will soon be one of the largest chains of modern hotels in the entire countrw—most of which will be right here in the middle west, where the demand for this class of buildings Is constantly growing greater and greater as this territory expands in a business way. _ Russel Grow left Monday morning for Orlando.

The peaceful tranquility in which the Baptist church ed|flce has re posed for these many years, is being somewhat disturbed this week, by “The Big Four” who, in their destruc tive way have raised the building, and torn out the old foundation, moved it to the north side of the lot and west about ten feet and ready for the new foundation, when they have finished excavating. Brother Beebe, pastor of the Metho dist church, has given us a very cor dial invitation to attend his prea<. u ing service Sunday morning which we will gladly do in case our church can not be ocupied. We had two good services last Sun day receiving two new members on experience at the evening service. Methodist. We enjoyed two fine audiences last Sunday. We understand we had a good sized audience on the outside. Plenty of room inside boys. Young people were present in large numbers n the evening. Will the leaders please hand the pastor both sets of cards as soon as iKissible. One evening last week the pastor enjoyed an evening with the scouts at the west river bridge. They had campfires and lunch and songs and speeches. The Ladies Aid Socie ty met Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Herman Johansen. A nice lunch was served and everybody had a good m time. The leaders for the Epworth League contest will be Miss Sigrid Rasmussen and Miss Amelia Hansen. These young ladies are live wires and that means a successful series of League meetings. There will be no league service Sun day owing to the union meeting. Sunday morning a special sermon by the pastor on “How the Power ol' God is Released." We will be glad to see all of our folks out. Whether you be long to this church or no church you ccccecchn n ehhsecY We cc c are always welcome wttn us. Yo will like our Sunday School at 11:45. lit the evening at eight o’clock we will al Dunn etaoacetaoinahrdluomfcmfvy v go to the Opera House to hea i sermon by Rev. Dunn to the high school graduates. MEAT BY THE HOG ROUTE. The meat supply of the country can be increased more quickly by the "hog route” than by any other. The country’s need to augment its supply is great, but prevailing high prices alone should be sufficient inducement to farmers to raise more hogs. The prospect of success never was bright ei\ The high prices ruling in all mar kets show that the demand for pork is in excess of the supply.—United States Department of Agriculture. Best Remedy for Whooping Cough. “Last winter when my little boy had no whooping cough I gave him Cham 1 erlain's Cough Remedy,” writes Mrs. J. B. Roberts. East St. Louis, 111. “It kept his cough loose and relieved him of those dreadful coughing spells. It is the only cough medicine I keep in the house because I have the most confidence in it." This remedy is also good for colds and croup.
