Nvcr before has America seen such
an exedss of jobs over the number of
men who want jobs. A recent'iss'uc
of a great New York newsjjaper'fiad
fifty-three 'coldmns of 'Help Wanted,"
and lose than' five' columns'-of 'Sit
uations Wanted," .
Down here in Webster county the
storms of reccDt date which wrought
havoc over a vast section of country
cist of Omaha, softened to rainfall
just right for promotion of agriculture.
AM in all, Nebraska lines up at the
f-ont in attractions and possibilities.
Beef cattle were killed up close at
the Kansas City stock yards last week.
Vciy few stock cattle were held over
in the yards. Top steers sold at $17.-
G3; top hogs $16.90. Do some of your
folks remember when beef brought
C or 8 cents; and hogs went for about
$4.00? ,
"The United States is the last
reservoir of men, the last reservoir
of ships, the last reservoir of muni
tions and the last reservoir of food
upon which the Allied world must
depend if Germany is to be de
feated and if we are to be free men."
HERBERT HOOVER.
The Colonge Gazette raves violently
against America and concludes a
defense of the U-boat attacks on our
Atlantic coast in these words. "They
need not be surprised. Who sows the
wind reaps the whirlwind." Never
were words more true, only in this
instance the Gazette puts the boot on
the wrong foot.
Trade concentrates in the ercat
cities, at the big harbors, and where
the railroads center These nre murts
of business, of trafllc and transporta
tion. Trade originates 02 the plBlns,
in the forests, among the mountains
these being the sources of original pro
duction. Red Cloud is in the heart of
the plains enjoys nil possibilities as
sociated with close touch of the actual
production of wealth. Its future pos
sibilities arc beyond estimate.
It costs money to live under Ger
man rule in Belgium. Note the fol
lowing price list and think for a mo
ment that were such a thing possible
Prussian militarism would impose the
same conditions upon America: One
egg, 25c; one lemon, 50c; a spool of
thread, 50c; a quart of milk, $1.50;
a pound of meat, S1.7P; a pound of
coffee, 6.00; a pound of tea, $10.00;
a pair of shoes, $50.00. How would
you like to live under such conditions?
These figures are official. In Russia
prices are still higher.
The press in Germany is by adept
distortion of facts making it appear
that the United States has beeu forced
to adopt restricted rations and there
for cannot further aid the Allies with
food supplies. As a matter of fact the
exact opposite is true. Our couserva
lion of food means that vast quantities
are made available for shipment across
tho water. It mentis also that every
American man' woman and child '-over
here" is actively engaged in this war
! in truth 11 unit of the great army now
lighting for the life of Liberty.
If our esteemed contemporary up the
street wishes to attack the City Coun
cil in the matter of its ordor to make
sewer connections why does lie not
come right out in tho open instead of
trying to inllueuce public sentiment
by a cHuiollageof "patriotism?" If his
argument is logical all business should
be suspended; if this brand of "pat
riotism" is sincere he should shut up
the print shop and spend a vacation in
the harvest Held. Our fathers got on
very well without telephones, without
automobiles, without rural mail routes,
but that is no argument fur putting
aside these modern necessities now.
The health of a city is a most vital
factor in practical patriotism, and a
cood sower svstem is everywhere eon-
ceded one of the best safeguards of
public heulth.
