We trust that every member of
the Chamber of Commerce will give
Secretary Whitaker whole-hearted
support. The organization has a
wonderful opportunity to develop
Bamberg, and we feel sure that -Mr.
Whitaker will do his part well. In
order or fill the position as he should.
it will be necessary for the members
of the Chamber of Commerce and the
people of the city generally to lend
him every assistance.
Bamberg is to have village mail
delivery service beginning April first.
This is a decided advance for the
city, and one which the people will
doubtless appreciate. Bamberg is

class, and with the additional push
of the newly organized Chamber of
Commerce, the city should soon be
heard from. There are a number of
things that Bamberg,* needs, and
whicfr the Chamber of Commerce will
strive to secure.
Her Jewels.
x There was a reminiscence in an incident
at Willesden police court yesterday'
of the story of the Roman
matron who, when asked to produce
her jewels, brought forward her family
of young children. A boy of ten
was sent to a home, having been
found guilty of theft, and his mother
informed the magistrate the that he
was one of eleven children.
Without meaning to be in the least
nnkind, the magistrate remarked,
"You will not miss one among so
many."
The woman's reply sounded almost
like the rebuke.
"I have not one to spare, sir," she
said as she left the court.?London
Chronicle.
My Auto, 'Tis of Thee.
My auto, 'tis of thee
Short cut to poverty?
Of thee I chant;
I blew a pile of dough
On you two years ago;
Now you refuse to go,
Or simply can't.
Thy motor has the grip,
Thy spark plug has the pip,'
And woe is thine;
I, too, have dread chills
And many other ills
Trying to pay my bills
Since thou wert mine.
THE DEATH OF A ZEPPELIX.
Vivid Description of a Grefit War
Drama.
Not a sound, not a shadow, writes
Lewis R. Freeman, in the Decemhei
Atlantic, heralded the flare of yellow
light which suddenly flashed out in
the heavens and spread latitudinally
until the whole body of a Zeppelin?
no small object even at twenty miles
?stood out in glowing incandescence.
Then a great sheet of pinkwhite
flame shot up, and in the ripples
of rosy light which suffused tne

read the gilded lettering on my binoculars.
This was undoubtedly the
explosion of the ignited hydrogen of
the main gasbags, and immediately
- following it, the great frame collapsed
in the middle and began falling
slowly toward the earth, burning
now with a bright yellow flame
above which the curl of black smoke
was distinctly visible. A lurid burst
of light?doubtless from the exploding
petrol tanks?flared up as the
flaming mass struck the earth, and
a half-minute later the night, save
for the. questing searchlights, was
again as black as ever.
Then perhaps the strangest thing
of all occurred. London began to
cheer. I would have been prepared
for it in Paris, or Rome, or Berlin,
or even New York, but that the
Briton?who of all men in the world
most fears the sound of his own voice
lifted in unrestrained jubilation?
was really" cheering, and in millions,
was really too much. I pinched my
arm, to be sure that I had not dozed

a minute or two the great drama just
enacted.
Quite a Difference.
Bank Director?Stole 25 cents, did
he? The scoundrel. I'll arrest him
and have him sent to the penitentiary
this very day. The idea of a
cashier of ours doing anything like
that is enough to?"
Bank Examiner?Pardon me, sir;
but you seem to have misunderstood
me."
"Oh! Well, perhaps I did. I've
been a little deaf for a good many
years."
"What I said, was that your cashier
left only 25 cents in the safe. He
stole all the rest."
"Great Caesar! I must see him at
once and get him to compromise the
matter."?Philadelphia Call.
WILL BAR MIDDLEMAN.
Nebraska Men to Profit by Acreage
of One Big Farm.
Ten young men, of Beatrice, have
entered a two year contract with the
end in view of becoming independent
of the high cost of living. These
men have organized what is called
"Labor's Liberty league," a society
to be incorporated when 500 members
have been obtained.
The contracts provide for the payment
of $2 a week into a local bank
from each of the signers for a period
of two years. The first payment
to be made on January 1, 1917. Each
member will then have paid $20S in.i
? ? ~ ~ A " A A
LU me CUIUIIJUil 1UUU. n 11"
members in the organization this
fund will have reached $102,000.
After the money has been paid in,
the organization will be declared
complete and a community farm on
an extensive scale will be launched.
The contracts provide that at the expiration
of the payment period each
member shall commence to profit
from the money he has paid in. ?It
is stipulated that a farm of 640 or
more acres shall be leased or purchased
with the money in the treasury
and that the balance of cash on
hand shall be used as a working capital.
Each member of the club is
then to receive the produce from
two acres. Every foot of the ground
is to be scientifically farmed. The
grain and provisions allotted to each
man will come from the following:
One-fourth acre of potatoes, delivered
the member unless he shall have
moved from the locality; one-eighth
acre each of beans, cabbage, tomatoes,
sugar beets, sweet corn. Also
shall he receive 300 pounds of meat
of his own selection from the herd
to be grazed on a piece of ground to
be leased lor that purpose.
The next part of the contract specifies,
"and if it can be done," 100
pounds of butter and 50 dozen eggs
each year to every member. This
last contingency is made because of
a likelihood that the hens may not
lay nor the cows give milk in plenty.
These young men, originators of the
"own your own farm" idea are enthusiastic
over the prospects of at
exactly the cost of production. Most
of the members are y^ung men working
on salaries. They have not
reached a decision as to location of
thpir farm.?Nebraska sftate Journal.
Went to the Wrong Place.
A man in Washington last week
tried to see President Wilson and get
him to have the oceans dried up,
thereby preventing submarine warfare.
He was arrested and sent to
an asylum. Of course he was crazy.
If he had been possessed of any
gumption whatever he would have
gone to the South Carolina legislature
and had the law passed.?Pickens
Sentinel.
FREEDOM IX WORK.
How the Woman Who Works May
Achieve It.
There is freedom in work, but it is
achieved only through training, efficiency,
and honesty of purpose,
writes Anna Steese Richardson, in
Pictorial Review. It is not won by
sex-lure. It is not found by luck.
It represents an exchange of re
sponsibilities, those of the home for
those of the business world. It
means a change of supervisors, not a
complete escape from supervision.
The wage-earner exchanges the irksome
orders of teachers and parents
for the dictation from forelady, floorwalker,
or employer.
When girls understand these conditions,
the circumstances under
which they must work, the wages
paid, the chances of promotion, the
inelasticity of each dollar earned,
they will be better prepared to enter
gainful occupations ^han they are today.
When they hear less of the
beauty of economic independence
and more of the obligation they owe
to employers and fellow workers,
they will adjust themselves more
easily to working-world conditions.
There is no escaping these conditions.
The same system of training
through bitter experience is undergone
by girls and boys alike. That
is one penalty of equality.
The girl who takes a position
merely to draw wages, spend them,
'and mark time' until she receives a
desirable marriage proposal is an industrial
parasite. Worse still, in
drawing wages which she does not
earn she is not honest with herself.
her employer, or her conscience.
At the instance of Congressman
James F. Byrnes from the committee
on war claims, the national house of
representatives has passed the item
for St. John's Baptist church, this
county, amounting to $274, growing
out of the civil war.
Out in Umatilla, Oregon, there was
an up-to-date election. Mrs. E. E.
Starc-her defeated her husband in the
mayoralty race and women were
elected in all other municipal offices,
including those of alderman, treasurer,
and recorder.

TEMPTING THE CHILDREN.
How to Make a Sick Youngster Take
Food.
Every one who has had the care
of a convalescent child knows how
hard it is to make him eat things the
doctor has prescribed. Ingenious
mothers and nurses have invented all
sorts of schemes and devices to make
the simple diet of the sick child acceptable
and interesting.
The little invalid who refuses to
take his milk and eggs will often
drink an eggnog from a tall glass
through a straw. A little girl admires
parties, and will eat almost
anything if it is served from a doll's
tea set, especially if some of her dolls
oro invito^ tn chare the feast.
The desert may be covered with a
little tent, house or wigwam, with a
tiny doll standing guard at the door,
and no peeking is allowed until
everything else on the tray is eaten.
Faces may be sketched on the eggs
and hats or caps tied on them. Toast
cut in fancy shapes is most exciting.
It can be trimmed with a knife and
made into little houses with doors
and windows, or it may be cut with
cooky cutters. A doll's chafing dish
is a lot of fun. If the invalid is
strong enough to sit up, a small table
may be set and he will never
know what is being served if father
is the waiter with a napkin over his
arm.
With a little thought and care the'
child may be made to eat almost anything.
<
and upon conviction, fined for such '
violation, and in addition, such agent
or agents may be personally indicted,
and upon conviction, fined or imprisoned,
or both for the same violation.

carrier, if a corporation, shall be obf-ainpH

or other vehicle, or any
boat, launch or other vessel used in
the illegal transporting of alcoholic
liquors, as herein forbidden, with the
