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. When we assuse a
person of guilt wo admit their intel
ligence though wc may not like to
confess it for a fool can't sin.
Nebraska Well Organized for Food
Conservation.
Eighty-six counties of the state
have county food organizations com
pleted. These organizations aro do

zens of Nebraska.

iin-aava uiu uoing sinmiumizcu; in
'short, the Nebraska people are being
relieved of the confusion which has
attended unorganized communities.
What good is the Food Administra
tion, what has it done for the pooplc,
has been asked.
What would you bo paying for the
necessities of life if there was no or
ganized and stabilized institution on

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.
