 E This fnformkaton has been hailed with special interest by men who have had this project in mind for the past few weeks. In all probability steps will b. taken to organize; informally. such . company as has been talked of.
 No formal enlistnents for service are parliamentary military education under a competent officer. Many here have expressed a desire for such tr4infnS, that they might be prepared to serve the country in time Of need. The men who have talked of the matter feel that they will get real physical benefits out of the drills and settfng-up exer- cises and other work that will come with the training and that, in emer- gency, they would be prepared in soTne degree to do valuable service for the country.
 Men Of families and other men with dependents are among those who will take up the training course. They are for the most part men who are anxious to see a programme of universal mill empt no one-put in force in the coun- try, not as a challenge, but as national safety insurance, and in going about the organization that is to be brought about hope to do something that will not only be of value to themselves but as we'll to the community and the country.

WAR AND POPULATION

Editor Journal: The United States
and a number of other nations arc
now at war with Germany to destroy
autocracy, make the world safe for
democracy and if possible, to Danish
war from the face of the earth for
ever. Yet if the nations should sue
ceed with the last proposition it would
mean the greatest calamity for the
human family since the beginning Of
time. There are 50,000,000 square
miles of land on this globe, but only
half of it fit for habitation. One hum
dred years ago, the population of this
world numbered 600, 100000, now
there are one billion seven million
living and Hooverizing in the sweat
of their brows. If the race should con
tine to increase at that rate, 100
years from now there would be more
than five billion; 800 years from now
there would be sixteen billion, one
for every acre of ground. 1000 years
hence there would be 2lS for every
acre; 5000 years from now there
would be 10000 for every square foot
of the habitable earth. These are prob
lens future generations have to deal
with but it goes to prove that wars
and famine and pestilenee, earth
quakes, cyclones, floods and thousands
of kindred human Affections are alb
solutely necessary, unless some I'M
known power should step in, and by
the process of evolution create lot
of new globes and be in a hurry about
it SHORTY.

war is a terrible thing, leaving death
and destruction in its path, but we
are told to fear not that which kills
the body, but rather he which is able
to destroy both soul and body. And if
there must needs be wars and runners
of wars, God grant that truth and
righteousness may win and liberty
and freedom be granted all mankind.
And in closing l would say, the
Stars and Stripes floating in the
breeze is fitting emblem for this
land of liberty loving people and
might be said to bear a double sig
nificance: The Red representing the
olood of those gallant men which
flowed so freely that their country
might live; the red and white as we
course its way, even from one end un-
to the other, showing by whose stripes
we were healed the stars, as they.

UNEARTH PLOTS TO
DESTROY THE MILLS
Evidence Secured That Carl
ton Fire Was First Overt
Act Of ConspiratOrS

State Fire Marshal Wells and his
deputies have obtained evidence
which indicates a plot to destroy mills
and warehouses from CASTOR to Sheri-
day and from there to Salem. Federal
authorities have been notified and the
evidence placed in their hands, The
discovery was made in the investiga-
tion of the fire at Carlton which dam
aged the johnson mill and contents to
the extent of $4,000. The losses in
cluded 1875 bushels of wheat, 400
bushels of oats and 20 tons of chop
ped feed As the safe in the office had
been drilled it was thought at first the
fire was caused by burglars, but as
witnesses say the fire started in that
part of the mill most distant from the
office it is concluded the drilling of
the safe was only a blind. In another
warehouse in Carlton man s coat
was found and in its pockets letters
that gave evidence of a plot to de-
strov mills and warehouses in the
places above named. The letters inti-
mated. there are plenty of warehouses
in the valley that are easy prey, and
suggested that with a speedy auto,
that could 60 like hell" f" they could
be easily destroyed. All warehouse
land mill men are cautioned to keep a
sharp watch, for it is expected the
gang will try to carry out the plots
outlined.
