RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF j tt i y- ft ARE YOU WITH OR AGAINST THE HUN? Buy a Liberty Bond If You Would Show the World Where You Stand. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED NOW! There Can Be No Such Thing as Neu trallty on the Part of a True American Citizen In This Great War. Dy RENE BACHE. "Murder I" It Is n cry for help. Whnt will you do about It? Thorp Is a kind of tnnn who under Biich circumstances snys: "It "Is nono of my business. I inn not called upon to Interfere." "Such a man calls himself a "peace loving citizen" n pacifist, to use a word recently popularized. P.ut you know, and I know, that he l only n coward. UN only anxiety Is to keep out of dancer, no matter at what .sacrifice f his manhood. Kvcn though he knows that hl neighbor's wife or child Is being at tacked ho will not Interfere. It Is "none of his affair." Ik-sldes. he him Keif might get hurt. The unprovoked Invasion of Helgluui by the predatory Hun was exactly an hIhkoiis to the breaking nnd enter In of n penceahle man's home Ity armed burglars. Theirs wns a crim inal enterprise pure and simple. Later It became manifest that we were likely to suffer similarly In our turn. In fact, the same criminals be Kan to attack us. They killed our people even our women and children. So, much agalnbt our will, we wore nt last compelled to fight. It over there was a Just and righteous fight, It Is ours In tlds war. Will you per aonnlly stnnd aside, playing the cow ard's part, or will you help? Buy a Liberty Bond. If yon cannot do your bit with bomb and bayonet, you can help very Im portantly hy buying a Liberty bond. Would you prefer to help the kaiser nnd his gang of professional murder era? Yon can do so by refusing to help your country with your money. There cap be no such thing as neu trality on the pnrt of an American citizen In this war. Either you are a patriot or you are a traitor. Which of the two shall you choose to bo? If you refuse your help, nicrolj standing nslde, you are actually aid lag the kaiser. You are the accom plice, at least constructively speaking of the greatest criminal since Nero Do you approve of the rape of Hel glum and the ruthless slaughter of Its Inoffensive people? If not, then show It by buying a Liberty bond. Do yon approve of the wholesale, violation of women and the mutllntlnn of little children? If not, then buy a Liberty bond. Are you In favor of the poisoning of wells, of shelling unarmed and help less people In open boats, of Indis criminate warfare upon noncombat ants? If not, then buy n Liberty bond. You Are For or Against. You cannot compromise with your conscience In this matter. Either you are for these things, or you are against them. Civilisation Is engaged In a desper oto struggle against barbarism nay, Indeed, something much worse than barbarism, scientific savagery. It Is a fight of right against wrong. Do you wish to help the right? Then buy n Liberty bond. The happiness of your children and of your children's children Is at stake For there can be no happiness without liberty, and liberty will cease to exist If Prussian power achieves the ob jects for which It Is now contending. One word more. Do you believe In n life that Is to follow this life? Do you believe that your welfare In the iieroafter will bo Influenced by your conduct In your present state of ox Islrnoo? Then how can you hope for happi ness In the "next world" If, .In this ntrugglo between right and wrong, you deliberately cbor.se to stand with the llun murderers against your God? You are helping them If you stand "neutral," and fall to help your coun try. Make your choice. And, having chosen, buy n Liberty bond. BECAUSE SHE KNOWS By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR of the Vigilantes. She Is a fragile little elderly gentle woman, a teacher by profession, an Alsntlan by birth. During the sum mer holidays of 1011 she eft her home In Strnsburg, nnd came over to visit her brother, In a suhurb of New York. Kho hnti been hero ever since, too proud to be n tax upon her brother's slender means, and maintaining her self by French lessons here nnd there, gnvernesslng, helping mothers, and other work to which -he has never been nccustomed but which she does with the true spirit of Franco. I have heard yes, and Mt complaints trickle nut and then dry up entirely at the Mgbt of that gallant little fig ure plowing Indomitably through thn mow. Her earning", It hardly need be said, are not largo, 'yet she has bought a Liberty bond of each isue. nnd l resolved to keep on as long ns the war does. TO GUARD AGAINST THE SPIES Government Has Been Powerless to Prevent Suspicious Goings Washington Supervision of rravoi ot American cltlcns so as to guard tho country against spies nnd othor enemy agents Is provided under broad powers conferred by a bill pending In tho house with tho administration and foreign affairs committee ns Irs spon sors. It Is Intended to give necessary supplemental authority to tho govern mont to watch Its borders and act quickly where present laws nro Inado quato and to follow, In prlncplos, at least, tho precautions taken In Eu rope. Need of tho loglslaturo Is consid ered pressing. Recently thero have been numerous auspicious departures for Cuba which It wbb Impossible for this government ro present. Other Individual cases of entry and depar ture nt various points haxo excited tho greatest nnxlety. This Is par ticularly true of tho Mexican border, passngo across which cannot legally bo restricted for many types of per sons reasonably suspected of aiding gcrmany's purposes. Thn bill will be urged In both houses as un emergency war measure Missing "Cyclops" Still a Mystery Washington. Diligent search by naval nnd merchant ships has failed to disclose the slightest trace of the miss Ing naval collier Cyclops and with the passing of tho sixth week slnco the vessel sailed from Dnrbadocs for an Atlantic port, belief Is growing nt tho navy department that In sonic way she has been destroyed or captured by tho enemy. How this could have hap pened no ono professes to know, but officials regard it as almost impossible that any accident could havo caused tho sea to 'swallow up tho big vessel and tho 293 persons on board without leaving u trace Some think sooner or later an enemy announcement will clear up tho mystery. To Heed Home Rule Cry London George N. Harnes, labor member of tho Drltlsh war cabinet without portfolio, announced In the house of commons that tho govern ment intended to introduce n homo tulo bill immediately and would uso every pressuro to pass It. Mr. Barnes announced that the Lloyd-George gov ernment would resign If tho house of lords refused to pass the new home rulo bill. Premier Lloyd-Georgo said: "It Is dcslrablo in tho interest of tho war that wo should scttlo tho Irish ques tion nnd produce- something like con tontmont in Ireland and good will In America."

FREE BULLETIN AVAILABLE Extension Service Behind Move Scarcity of Canning Receptacles Makes Project Imperative. Plans to have one hundred com munity drying plants in operation In Nebraska this summer are being tnuclo by the agricultural extension service of the University of Nebraska. These plants will follow the same general lines of tho driers which proved so I successful In a number of Nebraska communities last year. In most cases the driers this year will ho es tablished with funds furnished by towns or civic oiganrutlniw from plans furnished free of charge by the extension service. Their otnbli.-hnicnt will menu that any fondly can take Its produce to I lie nearest drier and for u charge of two to live cents u tray have It dried for winter use. With a natural scarcity of tin cans and glass Jars, these driers will do much toward handling prod uce which otherwise would be wasted. So successful were the plants estab lished last season Hint the United States department of agriculture do votr 1 n bulletin, No. 010, in Its Farm ers' Itulletlii series to community dry ing.

The farm lnanagoinent department has given preference Hi the Inventory system in record books which they have been placing among the farmers, but the government has not until now scon III to advocate that the fanner be as careful In ascertain ing his Income as the business man. I'mler this system a farmers' Income will consist of his cash receipts plus Increased value In his stock, shown iliruNils Inventories. Under the old system (he farmers' Income was simply his actual cash receipts minus Ids cash expenses for the year, no no count being taken of 'amounts of grain nnd stock on hand during tho ear.
