WHEN DEATH IS PREFERABLE.
(From the Columbus Dispatch)

A pathetic scene was witnessed at railroad sta top the other day mother bade farewell to her sen as he departed training camp The poor woman was almost overcome with emotion. Her only boy was
 turning his back upon the home. She felt that she was telling him goodbye forever and she so stated to the manly fellow who before her You will never come hack she sghed-"Oh, my boy; you will never come back to me if you go France!"
 The young fellow took his mother in his arms lie assured her that the chances were he would return. But he said 'sten. mother If die fighting ln france shall be better than you will be here in this country if Germany wins this war
 Mothers and fathers should read the words Of this brave boy They should have them impressed upon tnelr minds For not since the started has any man uttered greater philosophy The dead soldiers in France will be better the living people in this country if Germany wins. They will at least be beyond the reach of PrIssian military officer; they can no longer be kicked off they will not have to stand With folded arms witness brute of an officer outrage sister or strike mother the head with sword or see ba by stuck with bayonet All these things have the people of the countries where inc Germans rule Aye, dead a hundred times, than of the fouest military hlerarchy
 that has ever the earh The writer of this has an only boy in He had rather see him torn to pieces by q shell upon field of battle than to see German army officer enter his home

SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF

Subscriptions to the Liberty Loan which closed Saturday evening showed that $89000 had been subscribed for. Considering the popula- tion; this may be said to be extraordinary. But going further and considering that a large num- Der of subscribers were not citizens, adds great ly to the extraordinary part of the result as a whole. We may well be proud of Ketchikan. Not only because OUT citizens contributed gener- ouslv. but also because aliens in our midst have finally realized that our country is well worth fighting for and that they want to see it win this war. From this day on and as a result of that victory in the campaign just ended, every American will feel that the alien population is behind the country, for no alien would loan a country money with which to fight cause they did not approve of. Hence the caption: Some thing to be proud of
 From reports, the great success of the loan all over the country is evidence that Americans want to end the war, if they have to fight to end

THE BOCHES WILL GET THEIRS

Somehow, up till now our interest in the boys who have gone to the front and in the ''a' gener- ally may be said to have been onl! Jminnal; but from now on it is vital. With tiIe boys in the trenches, the extent of our interest has risen 9 hundred per cent Every day we sal watch fo~ news more eagerly than ever before. It is natural. Cur mind wild be centered on their ac- tions with an ever increasing wish for their success. This is also natural Likewise, the wish that the Boches will get theirs is intensi- fed to that extent.
 Now that we are in the thick of it, We may as well admit that from the outbreak of the war, every true American has wished with all his might that the Allies would win. It is useless to disguise that fact any longer. This great de- sire for victory does not mean, however, that we shall wish harm to the enemy anymore than what

Everybody will agree that women's clothes cover less space-you understand-than they did formerly, because the dear women are so economical and in the face of grim necessity to help the country they are trinying to conserve the goods But they say that it takes more mon- ev to cover the clothes. Now, how do they make that out?

WAYS IN WHICH FOOD MAY BE
SAVED

Food conservation hints for the
saving of wheat, meat, milk, fats and
sugar have been received from the ma
tionaI food administration by the
County Council CT Defense. In addi-
ton to the observance of Tuesday
as a meatless day and Wednesday. as
a wheatIess day, these suggestions are
made:
whoever does the buying should
first of all make a list of the amounts
ordinarily used in any one week; the
number of pounds should be divided
by seven to get the amount used in a
day, and then by the number of per
sons fed. This Will give the amount
used by one person in one day The
allowance quoted below is sufficient to
keep a person in good physical condi-
ton and little change from the usual
diet involved:
"One and one-haIf cups of wheat
-four day per person.
"One-fourth pounG of meat day.
-Four tablespoons of sugar a day
for both table and cooking.
''One-tenth of pound Of butter a
day.
use fish once a week in the place
of meat.
Use eggs or beans once week in
the place of meat
use poultry for one day.
Serve beef two days.
use pork and mutton on the other
two,
Don't use any veal or lamb.
Whenever bread is made, use a
blend of wheat with some aAher grain.
When bread is bought. buy liberty
bread part of the time and some rye
Don't make or buy much cake
make oatmeal cookies.
TRY having a dish of fruit and
nuts handy, instead of candy.
Don't frost a cake more than once
a week.
Make a plain cake in two layers
with a filing of custard, raisins, ap-
pie sauce or jelly.
use fresh. uncooked fruit as much
as possible.
| Buy enough butter or good butter
substitute SO that each person can
have one-tenth Of pound a day; this
| to be served on the table. Any that
is left can be used on vegetables. a
| small amount of cheaper fat can be
/ purchased to use in cooking, with
/ the fats that are saved from meats.
| Cut down the amount Of fried food
| everybody viii be the better for it.
Don't serve pie more than once Z
week. Use more fresh fruits, steweC
| fruits, ice creams and custards.
Serve honey or jam or peanut but
ter occasionally and leave butter of
/ the table"

Chairman CheI1is and Secretary
Berger were at Mosiuee the other day
in conference with the banks and
Willis F. LaDu, president of the vii
lage, in regard to forming a local or
ganfzation there to take care OF the
sale of Liberty Loan Bonds, and met
with a most cordial reception. These
parties have agreed to call a meeting
and form working organization that
will show that Mosinee is pretty
big spot on the map, when it comes to
going down into their pockets and
backing up the government.
1t developed incidentally at this
meeting that the amount already sub
.scribed in that village by the two
banks and individuals, and this with
out solicitation, was within a few
dollars of the quota apportioned to
that village. The indications are that
Mosinee will more than double it's
quota
Mr.. LaDu and the other gentlemen
also volunteered to assist in the or
ganization branch working organiza-
ttons at HaIder and Knowlton, and to

TO REOPEN OLD
PLUMER MINE
Republic Iron & Steel Co. Has Taken
Charge OF Old Northern Chief
Mine Near PIumer.

Another abandoned mining property
in this county, the Northern Chief
mine near PIumer, is to be re-opened.
The Republic Iron & Steel company.
one Of the largest independent oper-
ators in the iron and steel industry
in the country, has secured control of
the Northern Chief property and will
at once begin mining this long aban-
doned property. This concern has tax
en- a lease of all the mining property
for radius of two miles around the
Northern Chief and no doubt several
exploratory shafts will be sunk. The
Republic Iron & Steel company has
mines located upon all the ranges ex-
cept the Gogebic and expect to de-
velop a big shipper in the Northern
Chief.
Francis J. Webb of Duluth, general
manager of the companys properties
on the Mesaba range, inspected the
Northern Chief property last week
THE Northern Chief mine is a sort of
deep sea proposition says Mr.. Webb
'The nine is now down 1900 feet, but
found it to be in splendid condition
IN every way and we are going to d
much greater depth as we know the
ore, and of very high grade, is there.
1t will cost a lot of money to get it
but it is worth going after
The Republic Iron & Steel company
is not merely mining concern, but
a manufacturing one as we'll and will
use all the ore produced from the Nor
thern Chief property in it's own mills.
The company has large steel mills in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Alabama;
their biggest plant is located at
Youngstown, Ohio, where 10000 men
are employed.
The re-opening of the Northern
Chief property by this big concern
will be big thing for the western
end Of the county. 1t will mean
more intensive prospecting of aban-
doned mining property in the Iron Belt
and MeIIen districts and the discovery
of lot of valuable ore which is
known to be there but which has been
located at such depth that it had To
await the advent of a big concern
like the Republic Iron & Steel COM
pany to be handled properly and in
