CURRENT COMMENT.

CEM county responded nobly to tn,
call for funds to back up the boys
at the front. Not only did she raise
her quota of $4,000, but added five
thousand dollars for good meas
ure. The results are very gratifying
To Chairman Craig's mastery man.
agement of the campaign, coupled
with the willing assistance of his lieu
tenants in every precinct in the coun-
ty, is due the glory. The subscrip-
tons were made up for the most part
of small amounts, and to many of
these the taking of even $50 bond
meant a sacrifice. On that account
the showing made by good old Gem
county is all the more gratifying.
But, after all, it is an honor to be
permitted to make such sacrifices. 1t
is one of the imperative processes in
nation building. No race of molly
coddles ever dominated anything for
long and no people unwilling to make
sacrifices ever got anywhere.

IN the big loan drive just completed
the Boy Scouts, not only of Gem
county, but of the entire country,
were big factor in making it such
tremendous success. Being imbued
with the most intense patriotism by
the teachings of the organization, ev-
cry member had his heart in the work
and did it willingly. The American
lad finds his best representation with
IN the membership of the Boy Scouts
organization. He is being considered
now more than ever in the light of the
future American citizen upon whom
the destiny of the country is to find
loyal dependence. Evidences multi
ply that in every state more attention
is being paid TO the development and
welfare of the American boy. The
country no longer stands in reproach
for its neglect of the boy. Secretary
McAdoo, in his bond selling cam
paigns. has made much of the Boy
Scouts, and the presence of the secre-
tary at San Diego recently was char
acterized by one Of the finest Boy
Scout demonstrations ever seen in this
country. There was large body of
Boy Scouts present, many of whom
had won medals for service in the
first Liberty Loan campaign. Sec
rotary McAdoo was equal to the oc-
casion and the pinning on of the
medals was made somewhat of a spec
tacular event. The Secretary first
delivered speech to the boys that
should have made them feel good.
What he said of the Boy Scouts of
California was equally applicable to
the Boy Scouts of any other state, and
there is not Boy Scout in Gem coun-

the tale carried in the telegraph
dispatches last week to the effect that
Thomas A. Edison has been for weeks
sailing around on an invisible" ship
he has perfected in his efforts to
work out something to Illustrate the
submarines. But we must remember
that even the entertaining and at one
time preposterous dreams of Jules
Verne have nearly every one come

writing, and that his widest thought

ty or Idaho who may not take Secre-
tary McAdoo's words as having been
meant for his individual self. The
Secretary told the boys that while
they were not yet old enough to ac-
tually carry a musket and fight for
their country on the battlefield, they
are yet rendering a service on the
battlefield here by helping to raise
these great funds. He praised the
effective work the boys had done in
selling Liberty bonds, and impressed
upon their minds that what they had
been doing "helps to prevent the kill
ing of the soldiers who are wearing
the uniform of our country" Secre-
tary McAdoo said he esteemed it
an honor and privilege" to confer up
on them "this badge issued by the
treasury department for distinguished
services in helping to place the first
Liberty loan" This eloquent recog-
milton Of the valuable services the Boy
Scouts have been giving their country
will please the admirers of these man
y young Americans in every town
md hamlet in the country.

WE in this country will never know

WE in this country will never know
war as the Europeans know it.
No matter how bitter the contest may
be, how long it may endure, how cost
ly it may become, we who remain
5000 miles from the red center of the
sccnflagration will never know the in
tensity of the heat. Only those who
suffer invasion experience its tortures.
Those who have not been singed by
flames cannot realize the torment of
hell. The man in this country so far
removed from the horrors of war who
thinks more of his gold than the
needs of his country and the necessi-
ties of those engaged in the conflict in
other lands has so little of the spark

THE conservation of food is just as
important as subscribing for Lib
erty bonds. How many families are
observing regular "wheatless days ?"
How many are making it point to
eat corn bread regularly two or three
or more times a week? How many
are asking for rye bread at the bak-
er's? There is less wheat in the coun-
try today than usually is at any one
of the great wheat centers of the
country. We have got to eat less
wheat if we are to help feed our AL
lies who are holding the battle line
while we get ready.
