Home Guard Unit Soon to
Be Organized in Eustis
Eustis, Neb., Dec. 6. (Specials
After much pushing and shoving,
hawing and heming on the part of
a number of interested people, plans
for the organization of a Home
Guard are about to materialize. Prac
tically all the men under 50 years of
age have taken the "Barkis is will
ing stand, out no one nas Deen
found who will go ahead with the
work. It is likely that within a week
or 10 days active steps will be taken
toward organizing and perfecting a
local guard unit. , ' .
A new wrinkle in community eco
nomy which is calculated to reduce
the high cost of motoring, is being
promulgated in Lustis. No one
knows, apparently, who originated the
idea, but from the angle of economy
in the saving of gasoline it is good.
The Suggestion is that an automo
bile registry he maintained in town,
presumably at one of the banks, and
that when a business man is com
pelled to go to a neighboring town
he list his trip in the registry, giv
ing the ime he wishes to, leave for
his objective point
For the first time irr many years
the available coal supply is inade
quate to last the Eustis High school
through the winter. In the face of
a threatened coal famine this win
ter the condition is considered se
rious by the authorities. Local coal
dealers are unable to offer any en
couragement or relief, and it .is feared
that unless a heat producing substi
tute can be found the school will
have to be closed some time this
winter. . .. .
The news that' school teachers and
society belles of other towns have
taken to the cornfields and are doing
their bit by husking corn' "jtist for
the fun of it," is not new to young
women in and around Eustis. For
years it has been the custom of girls
to husk corn along side ot their
brothers, and they do not make a
big splurge about uV either.
smallpox has been quite prevalent
around Eustis this fall, but by prompt
medical assistance the dread disease
has . not made jnuch Jieadwjivj; Th!
latest to have his home quarantined is
Charles Uengenback a tarmer living
a tew miles northeast ot town.
