Once, fifty-three years ago. a man who owned a quarter section of land in Jackson township, Lyon county. Kansas, held an expensive conversa tion. His name was James Wigginton, and he didn’t like the way this govern ment was run. So he talked too much with his mouth and lost his land. It will pay some of our talkative friends of a too pacifist persuasion to read what follows carefully about six times Here it is: The records of Lyon county dis close a strange story in regard to 16U acres of land, the northeast quarter of secion 28. township 19. range 13. which tract adjoins the townsite of Neosha Rapids on the east. It appears that this land belonged to one James Wigginton. During the Civil war Wigginton was charged with treason for “aiding, abet ting and comforting* ’the enemies of the government during war times. Pro ceedings were brought in the United States court to confiscate his Lyon county land. The treason seems to have been proved and Thomas A. Os born. United States marshal, sold the 160 acres under the hammer for $25 under an order of the federal court made in 1864. The heirs of Wigginton. after the war. made an attempt to recover the land by suit in the Lyon county dis trict court on the grounds that the confiscation reiated only to the life estate of the alleged traitor, but judg ment was rendered against the heirs in March. 1875. and the deed of con fiscation confirmed. The tract has since been cut up in '-mall tracts, and is owned by a num her of Lyon county people, who are probably unaware of the unusual his tory of their titles. The value of the entire quarter section is now' many thousandss. but the Wigginton heirs got-nothing. This is a free country, but for all its freedom sometimes a man can talk too much with his mouh.—Emporia (Kan.) Gazette. She was a sweet young thing, and having come down to see her soldier brother, who was on duty at that time, she was being taken around by his chum. She was, of course, full of questions. “Who is that person?” she asked, pointing to the color sergeant “Oh. he shook hands with the king; that is why he is wearing a crown on his arm. you see,” replied the truth ful man. “And who is that?" she ask ed. seeing a gymnastic instructor with a badge of crossed Indian clubs. “That is the barber; do you not see the scissors on his arm?” Seeing yet an other man with cuffs decorated with stars, she asked. “And that one?” “Oh he is the battalion astronomer; he guides us on night maneuvers.” “How interesting!" replied the maiden, when seeing her compaion’s badge, that oj an ancient stringed instrument, she asked. “And does that thing mean you are the regimential liar?”—San Fran cisco Argonaut.

Viewing the matter in the light of sober reason, which is most necessary at this ti*ic—we must all see wherein congress had weighty reasons for its action in voting to raise an army by selective draft. We can not think that our law niak ers were inspired by any prejudice against the volunteer system, nor that they intended any discredit to the vol unteer spirit of our people. The im polling reason seems to have been that the recruiting of an army is only one of the huge tasks before this country. There is also the huge task of practically feeding the world, or at least our allies, which calls for much thought and discrimination in the mus tering of our forces. It is the intention of the government in recruiting the regiments needed to interfere as little as possible with the various branches of industry, particu larlv that of farming. To this end the authorities were convinced that the se lection of recruits should not be left to voluntary- action, but placed in cornpe tent hands that should decide who should Fight and who should Work. With the calling of men to the col ors. the people should take this sensi ble view of the situation, and realize that if one young man is exempted and another is not. there is some all pow erful reason for the apparent discrim ination. Those most urgently needed in industrial life should be the last to be summoned, for when industry stops the army is soon at a standstill. The time has come when every man is expected to do his full duty in whattver station he may be called There is no room for slackers, sore heads, and grumblers. THE DEVIL RESIGNS. The following was printed in a southern paper and credited to one of its exchanges. The Sun cannot vouch for the accuracy of the statements con tained in the alleged confession and resignation of Satan, but there are times when it does appear that some of the earthly- tribe have him bested badly. Here is what the southern paper said: “The devil sat by a lake of fire on a pile of sulphur kegs, his head bowed upon his breast, his tail between his legs; a look of shame was on his.face, the sparks dripped from his eyes—he Imd sent up his resignation to the throne up in the skies. “I'm down and out.” the devilt said—he said it with a sob—“There are others that outclass me and I want to quit the job. Hell isn't in it with the land that lies along the Rhine: I’m a has-been and a piker, and therefore I resign; one ammunition maker with his bloody shot and shell, knows more about damnation than all , the imps of hell. Give my job to Kaiser William, the author of this war—he understands it better a million times by far. I hate to leave the old home, the spot I love so well, but I feel I'm not up-to-date in the art of running hell.”—Aurora Sun. TUESDAY. JULY 31ST WILL BE WHEAT DAY. The Sherman County Defense Coun cil has set Tuesday, July 31st as "wheat day," and five meetings will be held in the different towns of the county that day. The defense council has arranged with a prominent speaker from the State University of Lincoln to be here and address the people at each of these meetings ;n regard to the necessity of im rasing the wheat acreage in Slier man county. This campaign is not only being carried on in this county, but in every county in Nebraska and all oth er wheat raising states. The meetings will be especially of a patriotic nature, as the wheat pro duction of this country is one of most vital importance. These meetings will be held in the towns of the county as follows: Litchfield . 8:00 a. m. Hazard .10:00 a. m. Loup City . 1:15 p. m. Ashton . 3:15 p. m. Rockville . 5:00 p. in. It is Imped that the meetings in every town will tie largely attended, especial ly bv the farmers and we are safe in saying that they will b thoroughly en joyed and undoubtedly much benefit will be derived from them Sherman County Defense Council. By C. W Trunihle. Chairman. SEED WHEAT NOTICE. lamp City, Xeb.. July 24. 1917. To The Farmers of Sherman Co: It is getting time of the year that if you expect to sow winter wheat you should be arranging for your seed, it takes sometime to procure good seed. I am perfectly willing to buy good seed as cheap as possible and ship it into the stations where I handle grain and deliver it to those wanting it at just what it cost me delivered. I have made this known to several farmers, also to the officers of the County Defense Committee, but in order to buy and ship in this wheat I would want orders from each one as to how much you will want. It seems quite certain now that the government will put a minimum price to the farmers for wheat of around $2.00 per bushel for the 191S crop. So you are not taking much chance in sowing fall wheat. If you have not engaged your seed and wish me to procure it for you I wish you would notify the managers of my dif ferent elevators as to the amount you will want. 1 would also urg« the importance of early plowing. 1 attended an agricul 'ural meeting at Kansas City recently and actual statistics show that the man who plows and harrows his wheat ground during July or early August will get a yield of one-third to one-half more than if plowed in September. Farmers: It is to your interest to try and plow early even though the ground is dry. Very truly yours. E. G. TAYLOR. BEWARE OF THE FREE DISTRIBU TION Do not accept doubtful samples your self or allow your children to. \Ye all know how a majority of the American people love to receive something for nothing; but at the present time it would be well for them to curb these tendencies and make sure of what they are getting before they consent to receive it. A press dispatch to the Oma ha World-Herald from Kansas City, dated July IS, says that a plot to spread terror through the state of Kansas by means of disease innoculation through court plaster was stated by Fred Rob ertson, United States district attorney of Kansas at Kansas City, Kas., to have been broken up through the arrest of three men in different towns of that state. Government tests conducted by W. S. Smith, government chemist, and three aids, were said to have revealed tetanus germs on plasters the three men were selling and giving away. Other germs, not yet identified, were declared to have been found. The names of the three men arrested were withheld. Mr. Robertson was at a loss to find a motive for the alleged plot. The fact that the names of the three persons under arrest were of Germanic oigin and other features connected with it might indicate, he said, that it was of an enemy nature.—Chief.
