The Gridley Light Published Every Friday at Gridley, Kans TOM W. FLORY. Editor and Publisher One year, in advance $1.50 Six months, in advance 75 change being made because the death of his father made it necessary to leave him st home to run the farm. The other cbar-ye was that of James C. Lewis of I ebo, who was changed from Class 1 to Class 4 on the grounds of dependency.

His wife gave birth to a baby in March, and as her father is blind, there would be no one to look out for her with her husband gone, and so he was placed in Class 4. Secretary Lang says that Mrs. Lewis was the happiest woman he ever saw when he told her yesterday that her husband had been placed in Class 4. FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1018 We wish to thank our many good friends and customers who have contributed so liberally to the Liberty Loan. Our customers in this county alone bought through this bank to date $17,500 worth of Liberty Bonds of the Third Issue.

Uncle Sam 'a Bes Seller Do you own a copy of Uncle 8am 's "best No household should be without it. Says the May Woman's Home Companion: "Tho eagerness of women to jclo their 'bit' by canning is shown by the enormous number of requests made to the Government for instruction in it. The 'best seller' among the latest novels cannot compete for popularity with Farmer's Bulletin Number on Gold Pack ('finning. Every housekeejfer should mind for it. There is no charge for it.

Thi; cold pa methods, when directions are followed exactly, give perfect results. You can get it by sending to the I) part men of Agriculture at Altho the President has asked that the country generally observe Friday of this week as a holiday with a patriotic program, it has been thought best not to have a demonstration here at this time, but to concentrate on the big meeting which will be held here at the opening of the Red Cross War drive next month at which a noted speaker will be present. An effort was made to get a big gun for Friday but none was procurable, so no Friday meeting was planned. And then too, this country does not need oratory to put across the Third Liberty loan, as the county as a whole and all of the towns and most of the precincts have sold more than their quotas. Of course there are a few tight wads and unpatriotic citizens who should buy bonds who haven't done so, but they wouldn't attend a mooting anyway.

There are also a number of mighty loyal citizens who haven't bought bonds because they have no money to buy with, and a meeting wouldn't help tem any at this time, and people who can't buy them are not classed as disloyal if they do what they can in other ways to help win the war. The Gridley State Bank The Roll ot Honor Bank Lebo Star: The drilling proposition at Walnut drove south of town-is at a standstill at present. The company representatives have been here looking the proposition over, and while this well is caving badly, it is not to be abandoned. The contract calls for a hole to Mississippi lime stone ami it is only down nbont MOO feet. Even if it is found necessary to abandon this hole this will not stop the prospecting in that lease block, as other wells will be drilled.

The situation over in the Rural Pale community is moving slowly. The water well has not been completed as yet, and as soon as they find plenty of water, the work oh tho oil well will start. Ff Air Mrs. John Kulling received a telegram yesterday from her son Milton stilting that the Coffey eouny boys in Company had reached New York City nt 11:30 Wednesday morning, and that all of the boys were o. k.

The company left Camp Doniphan, Saturday afternoon, bound for France. It is not stated when they will sail, but they undoubtedly will go just as soon as transportation across the water is provided. The boys havo beon in training for along time and are fit as a fiddle -f or whatever may come. With the sailing of tho Coffey county boys the people of the community will take increased interest in the war news, and tho wsr will come closer home to many.

These were reported to the proper officers by the workers, and undoubtedly they will be called upon by the government and given a chance to explain. Only a couple were quoted as saying very much against the government or against the bonds, but there were a couple of rather aggravated cases which will be given prompt attention There, of course, is some sentiment favoring taking action against them independent of the government, by painting their property yellow, making them kiss the flag, but so far no such action has been taken and efforts are being made to head off any such steps, altho hundreds of communities are treating all pro-German fdaekers that way. The Errett school district No. 64, in which a very large majority of the families are German or of German descent, is the only district so far reporting in which every family in the district Is credited with buying at least one bond.
