No Patriotic Meeting, As Yet Hours have lengthened into days and days into weeks, since the call to arms has been Issued by our noble president, still we continue to let tho call go un heeded and continue to go our way at heretofore. Aside from displaying a few tlags, we have done nothing to ward showing our patriotism. Exchanges coming to our desk in form us of the activities of our neigh boring cities and villages and some of our citizens who have been out of town conveyed the information to us that when compared to some other towns, we have been slackers. Why not a patriotic day for Webster County, held at Red Cloud? We have men of sufficient knowledge of affairs and conditions that would gladly de vote an hour of their time to patriotic addresses. We ! avc a band of musi cian', possessing the required talent to render the patriotic music aud a band leader capable of taking charge of the musical program. What we lack is a leader, one who will take hold as ho would of a business proposition and pitbh tho venture, muko u success of it the same as ims been done with other matters pertaining to the welfaro of the community. Our mayor aud coun cil and commercial club should take the matter up and see what can be done. Injured in Auto Accident An auto accident which could have easily resultedln the death of two of our citizens occurred on the road north of tho city on Inst Thursday evening, and judging from the appearance of the car and the information wc have received the two occupants of it aroin doed fortunate in having escaped alive.

Mr. Clark was driving the car and until they had reached the Dan Garher farm all whs well, when at that time, and for some unknown reason, the car turned over. They wero discovered by the dtlver of a pass ing car and were brought to this city where medical aid was promptly given them. Aside ftom several cuts nud- brulses Mr. Chirk is none the worse for the mlxup. However Mrs Clark's con dition is more serious. At the present writing bho is reported reeoveilng as can be expected.
