Several witnesses were exam ined and sufficient evidence furnished to hind them over to the next term of district court. They were both re leased under bonds of $500 each. From what we have learned the two men in question secured an auto and drove to the Wade Koontz farm west of town, caught two sheep and made their get-a-way. That" tho sheep had been slaughtered was evident as two pelts were found under tho bridge near Guide Rock and an effort to dis pose of tho meat was mado in Super ior. A mark on the ear enabled Mr. Koontz to identify them as his prop erty. We fear this will bo pretty expen sive mutton 'ere tho case has been put thru the channels of tho district court. Free Market Bulletins Tho United States Bureau of Mar kets Is offering to send free to any fanner or live stock feeder in tho state daily bulltins showing tho live stock loadings and condition of the meat trade.

Christian Church Notes Special meetings nt Indian Creek closed last Sunday. 42 people lined up for the cause of Christ and Indi cated they would stand for simple Christianity free from all denomin ationalism. Bible atudy will bo hold Thursday evenings and preaching ser vices on Sundays. Tuesday evening the Indian Creek people gave the pastor a happy sur prise and did not forgtt to leave many things to eat. Come again. J. L. Bccbe visited relatives In Alma the first of the week. Cradle roll service Sunday after noon at South Side Mission. Mr. Curtis Friday of Austin, Texas, formerly of Red "Cloud, writes a very interesting letter and .sent a number of pictures showing positions and drills of the boys In camp. "A sixty-five year old disciple"from a neighboring town writes the. pastor congratulations for his position on the church question and added a check to show appreciation for the article recently published in tho Chief. One of the best doctors of tho state said after reading the article that ap peared in tho Chief on the church question, "That is one of the best discussions of the church situation that I ever read, and I agree with Mr. Bcebc that sectarianism must go." The churches this year should not squander money for Christmas can dies while the world is starving for bread and sugar is needed for the war. Everybody should be American and everyone should be Christian only. Raise More Pigs Eighteen farmers and agricultural workers have received appointments as special workers in the pork cam paign which has just been started in Nebraska. Each one of these rep resentatives will have a section of the state to look after. In case the number of breeding hogs is not increased this winter, an acute shortage of pork products is sure to result next spring. Nebraska's quota has been set at a 20 per cent increase over last year. With the Government backing them thru emergency legislation as it never has before, farmers have never had greater assurance that their efforts would be justly compensated." The Food Administration has said that, un til further notice, prices, so far as it can influence them, will not go below the minimum of about $15.50 a hun dred, for the average of the packers' droves on the Chicago market. Fur thermore, it has said as to hogs far rowed next Spring: "Wo will try to stabilize the price so that the farmer can count on getting for each 100 pounds of hogs ready for market 13 times the average cost of the corn per bushel fed into the hogs." Exper ience lias shown, specialists of tho De partment of Agriculture say, that this ratio of 13 to 1 is liberal ,and that it should stimulate hog breeding now. The Nebraska College of Agriculture, with increased forces, also stands ready to aid fanners in and way it can. The Revcnna News tells tho story of a chicken shipped from that place to Anaconda, Mont., in whose craw was found twenty or thirty sapphires, evidently picked up by the aforesaid chicken while foraging along tho banks of the south fork of the Loup. Huh, finding a handful of sapphires in a Nebraska chicken's craw isn't anything! During 1916 automobiles and phonographs and sewing ma chines, and surreys, and silk dresses, and fur coats and pianos and univers ity courses and trips to the Pacific coast and a whole lot of other things were found in the craws of Nebraska chickens about $35,000,000 worth Mrs. Biddy Hen of Nebraska tip your hats, please contributed moio than 200,000,000 dozen eggs to the prosperity of tho state, and 75,000,000 dozen of them were sold at an aver age price of about 22 cents per dozen, or about $17,000,000. And she con tributed something like $17,000,000 or $18,000,000 worth of "fries" and "boils" and "stews" to the gustatory joy of tho country. A mere handful of mcasley little old sapphires in a Nebraska chicken's craw is hardly worth mentioning. - Transportation of Troops Troop movement figures to date in dicate that tho railroads of this coun try have saf61y transported approxi mately 1,500,000 soldiers to training camps and embarkation points. Sinco Aug. 1 five hundred thousand of theso men have mado journeys necessitating over-night travel and have been moved in tourist or standard sleepers fur nished by the Pullman Company. On one of the long hauls 8,000 men were moved from a training camp on tho Western coast to a point on the Eastern coast, a distance of 3,700 miles, in a little less than a week. Tho men traveled in sixteen sections, each section comprising 12 tourist cars and 2 baggage cars. Notice Tho "P. E. O. society will sell Red Cross Christmas seals on Thursday, Dec. 13.
