Fourth Call for Veniremen Out
and Sheriff Vainly Searches
Byways of Plains County to
Get Men for jury Duty.
Ailiince, Neb., Oct l8.-(Specia1
Telegram.) The completion of
jury in the Chadron blackmail ease
was not accomplished today. Instead,
when 3 o'clock came and a call for
more talesmen wai made none was
to be found, and after a diligent
search the sheriff wa located at a sale
20 miles from Allinace, summoning
the fourth list of talesmen to appear.
Sheriff Cox rode all of Wednesday
night, coveting hemingford and the
northern part of Box Butte county,
in his search for talesmen, This morn
ing four out of the SO appearing in
court qualified as jurors,
i Fannera Stay Away.
This being a busy season of the
year for men irj all walks of life, espe
cially farmers, :t is not without con
siderable reluctance that a man will
atop his work to journey to the court
house for duty on a jury that may
keep him away from home a week,
whil in th meantime the elements
may be ruining his season's work.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

agency and of the Chadron men ac
cused with them on the charge of at
tempted blackmail.
s , Few in Court Room.
, The defendants, as well as most of
the witnesses who will be called to
testify in the case, are-here awaiting
the completion of the jury.
Business activity among railroad
ers and business men and the harvest
ing e-f the spud crop by the farmers is
no doubt the reason for lack of inter
est in; the case by residents of the
county. At no time have there been
more than half a dozen spectators in
the court room. ., , i

Farmer Should Buy More Liberty
Loan Bonds Than Any Other Class
By HERBERT QUICK.
Member of the Federal Farm Loan
Board.
When I am asked why a farmer
should buy Liberty bonds I wonder
what I should say. It is so clear that
the farmer of all persons should make
himself the greatest buying class in
the world. ,. ......
If all the other classes in the United
States should lie down and refuse to
buy," the farmers should rally to the
flag and buy, buy, buy these bonds
as long as they had a cent to invest.
I do not wish to appeal to farmers
to buy bonds because they are good
investments. They are good invest
ments as any good business man can
see. They are safety itself. Nothing
can ever throw doubt on them as in
vestments. Many farmers are hold
ing lands Which do ' not pay them
more than 2 to 3 per cent after the
rents are collected, the repairs kept
up, insurance paid, and taxes settled-

will be in Lincoln, it was decided.
1 , Give Ten Thousand. '
Ten thousand dollars was voted
by the grand lodge for the purchase
of Liberty bonds. The lodge also
passed the following resolution pledg
ing support to the president:
"Whereas, This country is at war
with Germany and its allies in order
to establish a worldwide democracy,
and,
"Whereas, The grand lodge of Odd
ellows. in convention assembled, is
in sincere sympathy with the policies
advocated by President Wilson in be
half of our country s independence of
despotic rule and militarism, and is
in hearty accord with the most noble
effort to push our righteous cause to
a speedy and successful conclusion,
to the end that America, ever first in
the promotion of democracy, shall
stand foremost in ridding the world
of oppression and tyranny, therefore
be it. -.
Resolved, That the grand lodge of
Odd renews of the state of Nebras
ka in convention assembled, in the
city of Lincoln, October 16 and 17.
does herewith pledge its hearty sup
port to President Wilson' and'.wur
government, both with 'its monev. its
influence ,and its very livel if nl Mrs. Williams is devoting" tier entire
"Resolved. That a cony of therfe
resolutions be wired to President Wil
son and a copy spread upon the rec
orda of this errand lodare." .'.'- -
in addition to this the strand Iodee
will get behind the campaign of the
sovereign grand, lodge, which agreed
to buy a quarter million of Liberty
bonds and will see that Nebraska Odd
Fellows do their share in this. .
An 'assessment was levied upon
each member of -the subordinate
lodges of $1 each, to bt paid in two
semi-annua! payments, to be known
as a patriotic 'fund to keep members
in the army in good standing and to
Care for dependents in case of death
of thr member in the service. This
will bring into the fund about $32,000.

If all the actual and retired farmers in
the United: States would put in Lib
erty bonds the money they could get
for lands which pay them less than
the Liberty bonds will pay, they alone
could buy all the bonds to be issued.
Cheaper to Carry Than Land.
Liberty bonds pay 4 per cent They
are the best security for loans at the
banks when the owner wants a loan.
They are cheaper to carry than the
land. A man may buy Liberty bonds
and forget about them, except to col
lect the interest every six months.
But that is not the" main reason
why we should buy, and buy, and
keep on baying as long as any art of
fered. The farmer should buy Lib
erty bonds because .the,, vahie.pf his
firm, the chance to, make a peaceful
American living, the very right to an
independent life is; staked , on this
war. J; 4 .v'v""i- ,
The German empire threatenathc
world. It seeks to take from, us the
very thing that makes our farms val
uable. What if the value of a farm
anyhow, except the privilege of living
free American life on a particular
piece of land? Take that away, and
your farm becomes a thing which is
worthless. ' 1
Germany is put to conquer the
world, .Germany, still has the chance
to crush Russia, France, Italy and
Great Britain. If she crushes them,
she crushes for w? are in the war
until the finish 1 'liV .
If Germany wins our lands will at
once be mortgaged for all the ter
rible struggle which will then be upon
us to save ourselves from invasion.
She will demand of us that we pay
her indemnities running into the tens,
perhaps hundreds of 'billions of dol
lars,' All these Indemnities, if Ger
many could- defeat us, and the fight
against them in case we alone are able
to defeat her, will be a mortgage on
every acre of farm land in the United
States. .
Germany Half whipped.
Germany is half whipped now.. We
have fighting with us the mightiest
nations of the world, u we cannot
whip her with their help what will a
farm be worth in the united States
when we face her alone?
Buy bonds, farmers, and help make
the world safe for our kind , of life
the life of democracy. . Let, us strike
for freedom as did the farmers of
New England at Lexington and Con
cord, and the farmers of the Sputh
at King's . mountain.
Let us finisluuermany now, wniie
we have help. ' )
Let it never be said that the farm
ers of the United States refused; their
money while our young men are giv
ing their lives for the holiest cause
ever fought for. Let us strike for our
altars and our fires and for the farms
we love. All these are at stake in this
the greatest of all wars. Don't let
your dollars be slackers.

in the trenches
That's the word that comes
from Europe to the American
Red Cross. It setfe milliqns of
feminine fingers flying, making
sweaters, wristlets, helmets,
socks and mufflers. ,
AT home, in street cars, in railway, trains, in
theatres and picture shows, their myriad
needles flash and click, working to send a touch of
home and of woman to their fighting men abroad.
And it's a work that must be done right. The
Red Cross realizes this. That's why "The Knit
ting Book" was published. It tells just what articles
the soldiers want and how to make them. It has
a complete set of half 'tone illustrations showing just
how the work should be done. It tells the size of
needle to use and the kind of yarn. ';
For the woman who has husbandbrother or
sweetheart in the service on land or sea, it is,
indispensable. For that matter, any woman will
delight in using a little of her spare time in adding
to the well-being of the defenders of her home
and her country's honor. It is a solemn fact that
the safety of the world depends upon the well
being of our boys "over there."
