marine is likely to sink them all.
Also, unless the submarines can be
beaten, it will be impossible to get
food to the allies, and without
food it will be useless to send
soldiers, even if they could be
landed. The big problem, therefore,
is to beat the submarines, but that
is more easily said than done.
Once upon a time the mice held a
convention to consider ways and
means for combating their greatest
menace, the cat. After great
deal of discussion they decided to
hang bell on the cat that they
may be warned Of his stealthy APP
proach. But the great problem
was to find mouse brave and
resourceful enough to hang a bell
on the cats neck. And to this
day they have not succeeded. That
is why the cat still rules over
micedom with the same power as
Of yore. It is the same thing with
the submarines. They pounce upon
their victims as silently and steal
thily as the cat upon mice, and
how ships may be warned of their
approach is problem as big as
the one the mice have on their
hands. Resolutions by congress
and parliaments will not do the
job. Unless way is found the
submarine will rule the waves.

How Much is Seven Billions?


DR.. F. E. Lurton. of East Grand
Forks, published recently in the
Minneapolis Journal the following
illustrations showing what gigan-
tic sum seven billions is:
Suppose it to be in silver
dollars. If seven men had begun
counting at the rate of a dollar a
minute at the time Christ was
born, they would complete their
task about next Christmas.
These silver dollars would make
a pile 1,736 miles high. Laid side
by side thev would reach from New
York to Salt Lake City seven
times. To coin them would require
218.750 tons Of silver, to haul
which 1851 freight cars, drawn
by 728 locomotives would be need
ed. These trains would be about
9Ssniles in length"
Another way Of sizing it up is
to;Sbear in mind that it means an
expenditure Of $40 FOR every man,
woman and child in the United
States. counting the population at
100,000.00O, or $4,000, for War
rem alone, counting the population
at 2O0O

Correction of an Error.

In our report of the Marshall
County Cow Testing Association
which appeared in the Warren
Sheaf May End, 1917, we find that
an ERRONEOUS report was made of
the herd of j. S. Hilleboe. In
computing the average of the herd,
the tester in charge had averaged
all the cows Of which we find three
heifers freshened in January 1917,
and two in February 1917, making
only three tests for the January
freshening and two for the Febru-
ary freshening, while the average is
