Christian Church Notes The pastor has been asked if lie would lie a candidate for county judge by several people interested in that quarter and the answer lias been, he seeks no political office. A preacher who is ashamed of the ministry should not be trusted either in office or in the ministry. Judge Ranney, so far as we arc able to learn, is an efficient officer and well qualified for the position he now holds and his experience would insure better work in the future than in tho past if possible and it would seem to bo the wise thing to continue Judge Ranney for another term. The dice Drug Co. has a few copies of a hook entitled "Herbert Drown". It is a very interesting book and should be read by everyone. Rev. Marchand, a friend of the pas tor, is holding meetings this week at Rosemont. Prayer meetings arc be ing held at the homes of the people to save coal. The church should con serve. It is reported that coal shipped to our city, when received by the local dealers, is shoiL about one-third. It seems that coal companies must short weight tho cars at the mines. The local coal dealer has to add to the price of the coal to make up this shortage or stand the loss. "Why nol find some remedy to prevent coal companies fiom short weighting lo cal dealers in their shipments and lessen the burden upon the consumer. Crime is not meusuied by its form but by tho intelligence of the person that commits it.

Camp Cody, Doming, N. Mex. Dec. 510 Editor Red Cloud Chief, Red Cloud, Nebraska. Dear Editor: We were reading in the home paper, an account of tho organization of the Home Guards, that makes us laugh. What is tho matter with the follows who belong to this company? Arc they crippled or otherwise physically disabled, to proveut them Joining the regular army? Seems to us if they really wanted to participate in the war they Mould have gone with us and had a share in the "glory and bund playing stuir that marked our departure" as tho people of Red Cloud will remember what u big time they gave the 10 Red Cloud boys that left. It certainly sliowod the patriotic spirit of Ited Cloud when the drafted men had to go. Do the people of Red Cloud remember how they hud specchos and the band out for thetiiV And tho 15 volunteers got nothing, wore barely mentioned as having enlisted What do you people or Red Cloud think of that'.' The boys that aro signing tills will doubtless bo recognized us the "lb boys", and wo desire to seo this in print, just to make us feel better about it. Very respectfully, Cinmiinr, R. Kooni.
