The Sherman County Defense Cour

were elected:

County councils of defense are bt
ing organized in every county of th
state in crder that Nebraska may b
thoroughly prepared to meet any emet
gency that may arise and to thorough
ly awaken every inditvidual as to tin
seriousness of the wai
In general the duty of the count;
council is as above and to carry oi
an educational campaign, having fo
its purpose the ini reuse in produt
tion of food, conservative in its use
and avoidance of waste in all things
BILL IS WET 5LANKET
The taxation bill in the House is ;
wet blanket upon Secretary McAdoo'i
campaign for the sale of the libert;
bonds. As -oon as possible the Senati
should make known to the countr;
that this hill will never pass. Thet
the people will take heart again
Wheels will begin to turn and plain
will be made to expend industry t<
meet the needs of the government fo:
righting the war. Then the bond:
will be bought up by rich and poor.
Let the Senate give the country t<
understand that the war is to be fough
for all the time, the end being the tri
umph of our democracy against thi
strongest assault that could be madi
again-t it. Let the people know tha
the immense cost of the war will 1m
borne by those receiving the benefit o
victory, as well as by those who enduri
the burden and shed the blood needfu
for victory. As the benefit will rut
to posterity, let posterity pay part o
the cost. It cannot pay in blood, bu
it can pay part of the money cost. Aik
since the greater and more populou:
and richer I'nited States will be bette:
able to pay its share, posterity will stil
be under a deep debt to the patriots o
this day who pay more than money fo:
victory.
This nation cannot fight this war ou
of current revenues increased by tax
ation. It must go into debt. The soon
er this fact is understood the better
The debt should be apportioned to tin
taxpayers over at least 30 years. Fift;
years would be better, since the tax
payers 50 years hence will be enjoyin;
far greater benefits than those of tin
immediate future, who will inherit thi
blood tax as well as the money tax.

SLACKERS GET BUSY
County Clerk Polski received a tele
gram from Governor Keith Nev.llt
yesterday stating that "the provos
mersh."l general direct, ihat all per
sons of the ages designated, vho fo:
any reason did not register on tun,
5 may present themselves to him fo:
registration. Pending the convening
of Federal grand juries called to in
vestigate failures to register, it is
the intention of the department tc
pursue a liberal policy in order tlia:
registration may be made complete
at the earliest possible moment. Non
residents may also continue to registei
under the same provisions.”
The penalty for failing to registei
is one year in the federal penitentiary
The government is acting very lenieni
in this matter and if any one has fail
ed to register they have another
chance. If they fail to do their duty
now no doubt they will have to pav
the penalty.

Deal the high cost of living a migli
j y Wow by going out to the creeks and
draws where the trees are loaded with
blossoms. Burn or take a car. of coa!
and destroy all the worm uests. A lit
j tie oil dropped on the upper parts of
the worm nests will kill them all.
»ver was there a brighter prospect
for wild fruit than this year. Destroy
j the worms now before they leave
; their nests.
A few days of the past week were
good for all kinds < f farm work. All
crops are two weeks behind. Some
corn being cultivated. Rye will soon
be in head and the crop is good. Win
ter wheat that got through the winter
looks fine. Spring wheat and oats are
commencing to joint. Alfalfa is ready
i to cut next week. Pastures are iw
1 coving slow. Potatoes are late but
are on the jump and the prospect for
a big crop are good. Most corn is a
good stand The hay crop will be a
large one in this locality, with the
last half of May wet and the first
part of June wet is a sure sign of
a big haycrop.
Win. Kuhl did a dandy job of drag
ging the roads from Casteel s to Fritz
Bichel's place last week. Carrier could
: not help but notice one thing and that
j was when he came to a hill he w tu
over it twice making it look almost
like the grader had gone over it. It
this is done each time the roads are
dragged it would avoid the many bad
washouts in the road earn year.Car
ricr believes that if a road boss used
every dollar he had to spend on the
roads in dragging the roads after ev
ery rain except the washed out cul
verts, he would render to the public
better service than any way the mon ,
ey could be spent.

THE MEASURE OF OUR DUTIES.
There is some sentiment attaching
to the cause which prompted our en
j trance into the war against Germany;
| but, generally speaking, it is cold rea 1
son which at length convinced the
president that we should do so. We
become a full partner in the enter
prise. Our obligations are the same as
those of the Allies in Europe. Accord
inly, we shall find in their mutual re
lation the measure ot our duties: and
we may well take pattern thereby
England and France have been tlu I
bankers of the Entents. They have'
made large loans to Russia and to the
smaller Powers with which they are '
a.iied. They have not made gifts of '
~ash. though they nave made bor- ]'
towing easy. There is no reason why
we should go further than England in •
this matter. The Allies Go not ask it
_ i
REGISTRATION DAY.
Registration day. Tuesday, June 5th.
passed quietly. Programs had been ar
ranged for in the different towns, hut
the rain prevented much of a demon
stration. The band here managed to \
render a few selections between show
ers, which were much apprecteted
by all. The program and flag raising
to be held in the court house square
had to be postponed on account of the
rain. The registration in the county ■
was 7S3. The government estimate
was &16, which was considered high.
The number registered in Loup City
township was 13S. In spite of the fact
that the rules of the registration were
published in every paper in the land,
and advertised in many other ways,
much confusion resulted front mis
understanding of the rules.
PARK OPENING TODAY
Today occurs the annual opening of
