They are telling this story on Fred
Amsbaugh, the very efficient book
keeper and supply man in the B.-P.
company's office. A green guard had
been put on duty and Fred was ex-
planning the operation of an automa-
tic revolver. No one was killed or in
jured, but hole was punched in the
plastered walls of the building and
Fred had to borrow another pair of
pants.
Don't become party to the crime
in assisting the board to raise fire
insurance rates in Emmett. Keep the
rates down by patronizing an agency
which is endeavoring to reduce rates
instead of raise them. See Sinclair.
Day by day we see more of the
frightfulness and horrors of war. All
of its sad tragedies are not confined
to the front. DR.. Engel, an alderman
of Berlin, asserts that 100000 illegi-
innate children have been born in
Germany since the beginning Of the
war. and that the rate of such births
is increasing 10000 annually, in the
city of Berlin alone. The Prussian
government is encouraging that sort
of thing to recuperate the country
from the frightful loss of life in their
great war.
The Postoffice Department has de-
cided to cut out large number of
rural routes in the next few months
to reduce expenses. Inspectors will
go through the country in the next
few months and examine all roads
which the rural carriers travel and
where ever the conditions of the roads
are found bad, routes will be discon-
tinued. Roads which show neglect
will be more apt to be condemned than
those those which have been put in
first class condition. One careless
overseer in a township may be respon-
sible for the loss of a route which
travels the greater part over good
road.-RF.D.News.

Taking the several branches of the
armies in Europe, infantry, artillery.
cavalry, aviation, medical, ETC., what
would be a good guess as to the rela-
tive losses sustained in these bran
ches? Most guesses would be far off,
according to the War Department at
Washington. 1t authorizes the state
ment by Capt. Aubrey Lippincott of
the U. S. army that the reports of the
allies put the relative losses per cent
in this order First, the medical
corps; second, the infantry; third, the
artillery; and fourth, the air service.
Tho the most thrilling and perhaps
brilliant, the flying service is far from
the most dangerous. Aad the medical
service, tho the least dramatic, is the
