Corps could use twice as much
money as has been appropriated,
and it is indicated in some quart
ers that as much as 81, 900, 600,
900 will be asked for with which
to equip the army with heavy
and light artillery.
But this is of the future. The
appropriations already made are
enormous in their extent. They
comprise the greatest annual
budget ever laid out by govern
ment, not excepting Great Brit
ain, the fnancier Of the Euro
pean allies.
The expenditures authorized
by the extra session of Congress,
not including departmental ap-
preparations which failed on
March 4, amount to 81, 147, 222, =
9O7. This total, it might be
stated again, includes the 49,
900, 100000 for tie Allied Gov
ernments. While that sum is
not actually a matter of appro-
priation, it is a bond issue,
which is equivalent to an appro-
priation, inasmuch as it is an
authorization for the eXpendi-
ture of so much American
money. The big difference is
that the Allied loans do not con-
stitute a permanent liability up
on the United States, as foreign
bonds carrying the same rate OF
interest will be deposited here as
security for the same amount OF
American bonds.
Just where this grand total of
IL to Is billions of dollars is to
come from has not been made
known except in a general way.
Already $1,000, 900, 900 Liberty
Loan has been successfully float
ed. That was a good beginning.
Another loan, the exact size of
which has not been confded to
the country, is promised this
fall. 1t may be a three billion
or a five billion dollar issue.
Normal and emergency tax
alton will net the Government
approximately So, 900, 900, 900 dur
ing the current year. 1t the
War Tax measure now before
the Senate had been passed be-
fore July l, this total would be
larger. But every days delay
in the enactment of that bill re-
duces the sum which may be eX-
pected from the schedules to be
put into effect. The So, 900, 900, =
900 from taxation, added to the
S2,O0O,000,0O0 from the first
Liberty Loan, gives the Admin
istration a fair running start to-
ward the total sum of money
which Congress has or soon will
authorize.
1t is easily apparent, however,
that two and perhaps three more
bond issues will be necessary
during the current year in order
to finance the war expenditures.
The Administration has abolsute
faith in the ability and willing
ness of the country to absorb
these loans, just as it has faith
in the country's ability and will
ingness to submit to extraord.

INSURING OUR SOLDIERS AND
SAILORS

That a nation owes much to It's
citizens who have fought its
battles and to their families
when they have been killed or
injured so as to destroy or i'm
pair their capacity to provide
for their families has always
been recognized by the United
States. This just and generous
policy of our country as admins
tered under our pension system
has been unduly costly and has
not always been just. One of
the proposed uses of the pro-
ceeds of the Liberty Loan is to
give life and indemnity insurance
to our soldiers and sailors and to
provide allowances to their de-
pendent families while they are
in the ranks.
The plan worked out by Secre-
tary Of the Treasury MCADoo
and his coadjutors and approved
by the President has been en-
bodied in a bill which is now
pending in Congress. AS to the
business and righteousness of
this insurance of our fighting
men Secretary MCADoo says:
Military service in the United
States is obligatory; those who
imperil themselves have no cleo
ton. The insurance companies
do not and can not permit this
to affect their calculations. They
must protect themselves by
charging premiums so high that
they are secured against loss no
matter how severe the rate Of
mortality may be. Consequently
the very men who are called into
the service because their physi-
cal condition is of the best and
who as civilians would for that
reason be able to secure the most
favorable insurance rate in peace
time, are denied as soldiers the
necessary life insurance to en-
able them to protect their fami-
lies and dependents. The extra
hazardous risks of war puts in
surance entirely beyond the
reach of the conscripted soldier.
THE government which SUBJ
jects these men to this insur-
mountable discrimination should
itself supply insurance to SOL
diers at cost and upon the peace
basis. 1t would in fact be das-
tardly and undemocratic if the
government should penalize the
soldier who is forced to render
the highest duty Of the citizen,
by failing to provide for him war
Insurance upon peace terms and
at net cost. The pay of the en-
listed men in the Army and
Navy is less than the wages and
salaries generally earned in pri-
vate life and government insur-
ance is an essential war and
emergency measure inaugurated
for the specific benefit of our
military forces and can not and
should not be conducted for prof
it.
''This legislation will be a
great step forward in the recog-
milton of the Republics duty to
its heroes. 1t deserves earnest
and vigorous support of the
country. The United States
should set the highest example
of all the nations in the treat
ment of those who do and die
for their country and for world
freedom.

WHERE PAPRIKA COMES FROM
Foreign Product Now Successfully
Raised by Many Farmers in
South Carolina.

Years ago agents of the bureau of
plant industry turned their attention
to paprika pepper. We don't know
what headed them toward pepper and
the report Of their work does not tell
US, writer in Everybody's says. Pa
prika pepper is probably a mighty
small item in our national food bud
get. Up to that time we imported all
that we used from Hungary and Spain.
Our agents studied the characteristics
of the plant and the soil and climate
and cultivation that it required.
Then they came back to this country
to discover where paprika pepper could
be profitably grown here. Down in
Florence county, South Carolina, they
found what appeared TO be the re-
quired soil, climate and labor cOndi-
tons. Moreover, the land there was
not giving really profitable account
of itself. After the department had
proved by its own experiments that
paprika pepper could be successfully
grown in South Carolina, it furnished
seed to q group Of farmers who agreed
TO grow it under their directions. This
was TO insure q product of a proper
standard. The industry is now fair
~ well established, and if ever we
should be at war with Hungary and
Spain at the same time, probably
South Carolina could supply all the
iaded palates of this country with
standard brand of paprika pepper.

With the completion of the beauti-
full new capitol building at Madison is
forever laid at rest the question of
removing the capital of the state to
the shores Of Lake Michigan. Fifty
nine years ago a determined effort
that almost succeeded was made to
convey the capital to Winsconsin's
largest city. The Milwaukee legisla-
tors of that year came to Madison
vowing they would take it home in
their pockets. They industriously
spread abroad the report that Madi-
son was too wicked for a capital city,
that it had more grog shops and gamb-
ling hells than any other city of its
size within the state. TO this Madi-
sons partisans replied that the insti-
buttons mentioned were for the &C
commodation of the legislators them
selves Party feeling rose high and
went to fever heat when Milwaukee
snatching an unguarded moment, Sc
cured the prize by an assembly vote
of thirty-two to ,thfrty-nine. Madi-
sons forces rallied to the rescue. Re
consideration was demanded, and on
the last day but one of the session,
Milwaukee lost the capital by a tie
vote OF forty-one to fOrty-one.

The passage of the state trunk high
way bill overwhelmingly by both the
senate and assembly is looked upon
by good roads advocates as a distinct
step forward in highway legislation
in Wisconsin. This bill constitutes a
new unit-the state for under its
terms the state will lay out, construct
and maintain the state trunk system
of roads. The measure is regarded as
highly favorable for the agricultural
counties for the reason that the state
and federal funds will be distributed
among the counties on the basis of
mileage, area and assessed valuation
AS these counties usually have a large
area and mileage, as compared to such
counties as Milwaukee. with large as
sessed valuation, they will receive a
much larger proportion under the
state highway law than they do under
the present state aid law. The state
aid law is not amended or changed in
any way. 1t is expected that the high
way commission will at an early date
begin hearings throughout the state
preliminary to laying out the trunk
highway roads. 1t will take the bal
ance of the year to continue these
hearings, and construction on the sys-
tenn will not begin until next year.

Sou 7 s
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts Of America)
ORGANIZATION OF SCOUTS

When a boy registers as a scout, he
becomes member of a group called a
patrol. A patrol consists of eight boys,
one of whom is patrol leader and an
other assistant patrol leader. Patrols
are formed into troops. Not more than
four patrols are taken into one troop
and three is considered a better num-
Der as the scoutmaster who leads a
troop can get better results with a
small group of boys than with a large
one.
When community desires to derive
the benefits of the scout movement
three or five men form what is known
as a troop committee and this COM
mittee communicates with the local
council which holds a charter for that
particular district. In cases where
there is no local council the troop COM
mittee applies directly to the national
council. A scoutmaster is then select
ed and he receives q commission from
the national council upon the recon-
mendation Of the troop committee.
Local councils are formed in COM
munitieS where there are three or
more troops. Such council is made
up of ten or more men. These men
are elected as representatives of the
various interests of the community in
Guiding religious, educational, business
and civic activities. In many cities
each troop elects at least one member
Of it's troop committee as a member of
the local council.
The national council is made up of
delegates from the various local cOun-
ellis, president and ex-presidents of
the United States, governors of the
various states, and o limited number of
other men distinguished for their
achievements in work for boys.
This in brief is the scout organiZa-
ton. 1t was planned with a view OF
insuring proper supervision of all scout
work and of keeping the local council
and the national council directly in
touch with both the scout and the
ScOutmaSter. AS soon as any impOr

council and it is very necessary that
these latest details of scouting should

with the least possible delay.

How to Deal With Germs.

In dealing with germs, it should be
remembered that germ Of the mild.
est appearance may very often be most
savage. Don't be deceived by a germ
that looks harmless. The male germ,
as a rule, is the most vOraciouS and
it may always be known by it's gay
plumage. Germs, as we have been
taught, bring with them every sort
of disease, and while germs are not
always fatal, they try their best to
be. The average conscientious germ
is chagrined when he fails to kill. II
a number of germs are engaged on a
job and do not succeed they are in
disgrace with the folks back home.
Teach the children to swat the germs.
Particularly the young germs. Germs,
like people, are most Odious at the
adolescent age.
