Lack of building material, caused by the failure of manufacturers to make delivery to the contractors put the quietus on tho activities around the new high school building for sever al weeks, but we note that a number of-brick rausons recently came to the city, and upon passing by one may see the men driving tiie one-wheclcd-vnri-able-speed-jitney around the premises and up steep inclines that would test tho endurance of even a Ford. These jitneys are loaded with brick and "mud" and when they begin to move it is pretty good evidence that the loads they carry will soon bo converted into a house of knowledge. The three newspapers Advertiser, Argus aud Chief nt Red Cloud are taking on regular metropolitan airs, the publishers having sigucd an agreement to close their offices at 4:30 Saturday afternoons until the first of September.

Now Zealand, one of tho best governed countries In the world, has had such a law for nearly a scoro of years, and there is no other place on earth whero labor is better employed and more contented, whero crime is na little known and the doors of the poor houses have longslnco fallen from their binges New Zealand is governed by the mnsses soldiers of tho common good and it was a printer who started the movement to break away from tho rule of British lords nnd the privileged clilsses. Call it socialism or whatever you choose, but tho New Zoalanders are oue people that enjoy a nearly perfoct government. Koncsaw Pro gress.

Held Meeting at Cowles A number of tho citizens of this city nccompnnlcd by tho Red Cloud Con cert Band autood to Cowles Thursday evening, in response to an invitation extended by Jus. McBrido, of that place. Representatives from Blue mil, Guide Rock and Bladen were present. Tho purpose of tho meeting was to form a Red Cross chapter In Webster county F. W. Cowden ncted ns chairman and Lloyd Huutcrflllcd the Secretary's chair and short addresses were deliver ed by Row Fowler, Rev. Ogden, Rev. Drullner, E J. Overlug, C. F. Cather and F. A. Good. Music fdr the occas ion was furnished by the Red Cloud Band. Rulings of tho National Red Cross Society specify 'that each town may have their own organization but liat all business must be transacted through the county seat organization. Present indication lead us to bellevo that Webster county will contribute her share towards the greatest polco of phylanthrophy ever attempted by any organization, in this or any other land. , The Oil Boom is Progressing A large nnd enthusiastic crowd at tended the oil meeting at the Commer cial Club rooms on last Thursday even ing, the purpose of which was to go further into the details of Red Cloud's big oil boom, to elect a board of direc tors and to transact such other busi ness as came before the meeting.

Weesner and Mr. Pattersou, the gentleman respon sible for the activities in this locality along this particular line, Mr. Simpson of Blue Hill, and Ifoy Hutchison of Norton, Kansas discussed the prospects after which a Board of Directors were named, this body being composed of Dr. Dnmcrell, Win. Weesnor, Geo. Hutchison, C II. Potter, Clarence Carpontor, B. W. Stewart and L. II. lilackledge. An examination of. tho subscription list bears evidence to tho fact that the financial end of the matter was receiv Ing'attcntiou. Many leness have beeu secured, negotiations being made with Oklahoma drillers and judging from the general trend of-matters It appears as though tbe seed that Promoter Patterson has sown in this locality is about to bring forth good fruit. Who says that Red Cloud may not in the near futuro bo tho third city, in population, in ,tlio State. Hero's Hoping, United Church Notes Tho patriotic service Sunday even ing was a success. Tho liouso was crowded and tho children gave an ex cellent program, A collection was ta ken for the Y. M. C. A. work among the soldiers. The United Church people have subscribed and secured pledges for this work to the amount of about 8160. Twenty flvo pledges for Red Cross membership were secured at the Sun day evening service. The south side poople have raised ten dollaps for Rev. Cole, formerly of this city, as a moans of showing their appreciation of a good mans work, Mr. Cole la in feeble health. t Sunday desecration is becoming a notorious offense In our city and It is about time for tho selfrcspectlng people of the town and community to express their feeling in effectlvo man ner. For any group of men to sanc tion such notorious disregard for the Lord's Day is an open challenge to tho church and a direct Insult to God.
