It is to be spent for food and supplies for the Armies of our allies digit!mg on our side on the various war fronts in Europe. K is Americas first contribution to wards doing her part in the war we are engaged in. It is billions for defense in the world-wide war Autocracy is waging against Democrasy, but not one cent for tribute. EOND BUYING WILL NOT RETARD BUSINESS. All financial observers are agreed that the people are saving money to in.st in the new bonds when they are i-m-d. and that this according in a large nn-a ure for the economies which are being decried in some quarters. There is no doubt that this hoarded money, when it lias once been put into bonds, will be as bread cast upon the waters. For the money which these bonds w ill produce will at once go into industry and into agriculture in search of supplies for our own armies and those of our allies. In these channels there will be a wide stimulation of production, with consequent distribu tion of money in wages and profits, so that in the end thee will be the en hanced business in all quarters which is demanded. BE A PATRIOT. There are many ways of demonstrat it.g patriotism besides shouldering a gun and marching away to wars. Those wi.o remain behind have their obliga ms as well as those who go out to he firing line. In a time like the pres win’ll prices for foodstuffs soar idler and higher with the prospect of po sihle shortage there is an inclina • .1 on the part of many who have money to spare to lay in large supplies ; flour, sugar, etc-. against a day when cs may be much higher even than present. Under ordinary rircutn • i cs and conditions forehandedness • ’ be commended, but just now it -hi'iild be discouraged, for reasons ■n to all. Brices hang and hinge o:i the great law of supply and de n ’id For any considerable portion ol ' population to stimulate the com .c*n demand by laying in supplies against future needs means higher pri cs and consequent hardships foi Tho-.* who cannot do it. The patriotic ti.cn will refrain from buying for ths future and take* the same chances and pri’ -s that his less provident neighbor will have to put up with. To do other '■vise would be an exhibition of sel ti-hiicss and lack of true patriotism. CHURCH NOTES. Baptist. Sunday morning June 10. out preaching service will lie held in the opera house.

The United Slates, drawn into the i great war against its will, may become the virtual dictator of the world be fore the war is over. Realizing that they are dependent upon the United I States to feed thm as well as to fur- , nish the money and men needed to ' win the war, the allies will undoubt- ( edly defer greatly to the judgment of 1 the American president in all matters 1 of great importance. But America will j; drive no unfair bargain. The Stars t and Stripes will float to the breeze on < the crmson fields of France, but jus- i tice and humanity will march be- 11 neath its folds. : WHY IT SUCCEEDS. : Because It's For One Thing Only, and Loup City People Appreciate This Nothing can be good for everything, j Doing one thing well bungs suc cess. i Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing only.

We believe that the more our patrons know about our business the greater will be their confidence in us. We advertise to tell the people tiie tacts about our business. We think the people have a right to know what we are doing and why we are doing it—to know how much money we receive from the sale of service and how it is used. Our accounts and records are kept according to meth ods approved by the United States government, and the public may learn at any time the details of how we are conducting our business. We want the people to know tiie facts about our business. that they may judge impartially as to the propriety of what we are doiug.

A private soldier named Richard Lee was taken before a magistrate 'or playing cards during service. It ippears a sergeant commanded the soldier at church, and when the par son had read the prayers he took the :ext. Those who had a bible took it tut, but this soldier had neither bible tor common prayer book, but pulling tut a pack of cards he spread them before him. He just looked at one ■ard then at another. The sergeant ol he company saw him and said: “Richard, put up the cards, this is to place for them.” “Never mind that,” said Richard. When the service was over the ■onstable took Richard before the nayor. “Well, says the mayor, "what have ■ ou brought the soldier here for?” "For playing cards in church." “Well, soldier, what have you to say 'or yourself?” “Much sir, I hope.” “Very good. If not I will punish •ou more than man was ever punish ed.” “I have been,” said the soldier, 'about six weeks on the march. I lave neither Bible nor common pray er book. I have nothing but a pack if cards, and I’ll satisfy youh honor of lie purity of my intentions.” And spreading the cards before the nayor. he began with the ace. “When I see the ace it reminds m« hat here is but one God. When I ;ee the deuce it reminds me of Fatliei md Son. When I seee the trey it re ninds me of Father. Son and Holy 5 host. When I see the four spot, it eminds me of the four evangelists hat preached, Mathew, Mark, Luke, iohn. When I meet the five, it re ninds me of the five wise virgins that rimmed their lamps—there were ten, mt five were wise and five foolish lud were cast out. When I see the lix, it reminds me that in six days iod made heaven and earth. When I ee the seven, it reminds me on the seventh day he rsted from the great work he had created and hallowed it. j The eight reminds me of the eight righteous persons that were saved when God destroyed the world, viz: Noah and his wife, with three sons and three wives. When 1 see the nine, it reminds me of the nine lepers that were cleansed by our Saviour, there were nine out of ten who never return ed thanks. When I see the ten it re minds me of the ten commandments which were handed down to Moses on tablets of stone. When I see the king 1 am reminded of the King of Heaven which is God Almighty. When I see queen, I am reminded of the Queen of Sheba, for she was as wise a woman as Solomon was a man. She brought with her fifty boys and fifty girls all dressed in boys apparel, for King Sol omon to tell which were boys and which were girls. King Solomon sent for water for them to wash; the girls washed to their elbows and the boys to their wrists, so King Solomon told j by that. “Well.” said the mayor, “you have given a good descrption of all the cards except one.” “What is that?” "The knave,” said the mayor. "I will give your honor a description of that too, if you will not be angry.” “I will not,” said the mayor, “if you do not term me to be the knave.” “Well,” said he soldier, “The great est knave I know of is the constable i who brought me here.” “I do not know',” said the mayor, I “that he is the greatest knave, but 1 know he is the greatest fool.” “When I count how many spots there are in a pack of cards, I find three hundred and sixty-five, as many • days as there are in a year. “On counting the number of cards in a pack, I find fifty-two, the number of weeks in the year, and I find four suits, the number of weeks in a month. I find there are twelve picture cards, representing the number of months in a year, and on counting the number of tricks I find thirteen, the number of weeks in a quarter. "So, you see. sir, a pack of c a Is serves for a Bible, an almanac and a common prayer book.” AUCTION SALE. Of 160 acre farm on Thursday, June 14 Sale to be held at the farm at 2 o’clock, p. m.
