Sermon, Subject; "Why don't God kill the Devil?" No such questions discussed in the city before I A. L. Stoner of Innvalc, presi dent of the Webster County Farmers' Union, filed a protest with the railway commission concerning the unsanitary condition of tho coaches on the Burl ington operating in this locality. Following is his letter in part: "First on entering the coach at Red Cloud, Neb., September 6, 1917, wc found it in a very dirty, filthy and an altogether unfit condition to expect men to ride in to accompany their stock to market. To every appear ance this coach had not been cleaned, dusted or otherwise attended tq for the comfort and convenience of,, the cattle men for "many moons." Thc floor was littered from one end to the other with every conceivable thing that you would ever expect to find in a railway coach. In mid afternoon for two hours or more wc were with out water and in absolute daikness from Table Rock to Falls City. These last two conditions alone we consider very negligent and discour teous to a part of the men who make this road pay dividends. Moreover, the unsanitary condition of this coach was a menace to the health, comfort and convenience of the shippers and wc respectfully ask that these con ditions be investigated and remedied at the earliest opportunity."

CAR WEIR CITY NUT ter ilttalone-Gellatly Go. for "nur Efficiency" Transportation as Well as in Productivity. Ncbinska is easily first in a gient many things. It was first to agitate the income tax, first to agitato direct election of senators, first to agitate direct election of president. It is the first in per capita production of agriculture nnd live stock. Tho publicity arising fiom all these things is valuable. Now is Nebraska's opportunity to secure oven greater publicity by taking tho front rank in the matter of war efficiency putting the punch into the service that means tho speedy winning of the war. Theie is a shortage of freight equipment cars and j locomotives. No time now to discuss the whvs of J this fact. The government is taking over the locomotive works, and car shops are too busy on war stuff to manufacture freight cars. The so lution of the transportation problem lies in "speeding up" shipments, mak ing three cars do the work that four or five performed last year. making two locomotives do the work that re quired three last year or the year be fore. Let Nebraska take the lead in this and the "big guns" of the busi ness world will talk a lot about the "Nebraska,, way." How? Anticipate your needs and order in large lots, loading cars to maximum weight capacity. Notify the railroads when you are going to load, and load promptly. Notify the consignee, and thenexpect him to un load and release the car with prompt ness. Systematize your shipments, and remember that other people are crying for the cars you are holding up. une year ago tne treignt car shortage was 150,000 cars. The railroads have speeded up to their limit, and the shortage is now less than 30,000 cars. They used to make less than 26 miles per car per day; now they are making twenty-five per cent more. They can double it if you'll assist in the good work. One great railroad is sending out an ex port to "put the war punch" in its employees; others will follow. When Nebraska shippers and the Nebraska public co-operate we'll get Nebraska grain and live stock to tho market p. d. q., and other states will envy us and emulate us. They'll talk about Nebraska's way of doing things that's the kind of advertising Ne braska needs. The Railroad's War Board is hustling to help win the war and to help the people. Now let every Ncbraskan join in thn work and while profiting directly get the indirect profit that comes from favor able publicity. ' United Church Notes A soldier in Co.

A family of-five, including two adults and three children under 12 years of age, under ordinary living conditions, should have stored for each month of the winter season the following food supplies: 1 bushel of Irish potatoes; J bushel of other root vegetables such as carrots, turnips, and parsnips; 25 quarts of other vege tables and 20 quarts of canned fruits and preserves These figures are based on estimates by the United States Department of. Agriculture, which adds that most of this should come from the perishable products of the many home gardlns this year. With these figures as a basis, it is thought that almost any family may calculate its requirements, taking in to consideration the length of the win ter season in any given locality. Thus, in the South, where food crops may be grown in the fall, the winter allow ance may be less than for tho far North, where one must count on sup plies for several months longer. There is still time, says the depart ment, for a final drive in canning, pre serving and drying. In using dried vegetables, it may be assumed that a given quantity of dried vegetables is equal to four times its bulk of canned vegetables; that is, one-fourth' of a quart of dry string beans when soaked over night is approximately equal to one quart canned.
