Why all this Hollering About
High Prices?
A year ago it took 54 bushels corn to pay for 10M
Shingles while now the same amount of corn will pay for
the same Shingles and
500 feet common lumber
5 Gallons Paint
20 Pounds Nails
20 Rods 26-in Hog Fence
Last year it took a 400 pound hog to pay for 200 best
posts while now the same hog will pay for the same posts
and
3 Reels Barb Wire
15 Pounds Staples
Last year it took 60 bushels wheat to pay for 2000
feet common lumber while now for the same amount of
: wheat we will build you one of our Special Garages com
plete with cement floor, furnish all lumber, windows,
doors, hardware, and paint and we will even pay the car
penter and on top of all that make you a present of 2
screen doors and 2 tons of our best coal.

Why should we apologise for our prices?
They are lower in proportion than ever before.
We can save you money.

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.

CHURCH NOTES.
Baptist.
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

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.
