THOSE YELLOW SWEATERS

The women who are working so hard to get enough warm garm ents knit to be sure that each man who ships for France shall be properly outfitted for the trip and the rigors of the winter campaign feel that enough cannot be said about those women who spend their time and money in knitting fancy sweaters for themselves and their friends and have asked that we reprint the fol- lowing editorial from the Chicago Tribune of Sunday, Sept. 23.
 Why aren't more American wo- men knitting?" is the frantic query of Major Grayson, the head of the American Red Cross in France. More American women ARE knitting, more than they have knitted for century in America. Women are knitting everywhere and at every time But most of them are knitting bright coiored sweaters for themselves. for Christmas gifts to their women friends. It isn't one woman in ten who takes khaki or gray yarn out of the gay bag that swings from her arm
 This will he the worst winter that northern France has known. The supply of wood and other fuel which was available last winter has been materially decreased by the summers warfare. And now there are not only the French and English armies and the thousands of refugees to be kept warm, but the American expedition ary force Keeping warm in France this winter for the fighting armies will be a matter of clothing more than of fuel If there is not enough warm clothing death will reap a greater harvest this winter than war. This isn't sentiment. It is cold fact. Whenever a womn knits a gay col ored sweater when she might be knitting for the desperate need over seas she is by her criminal neglig- ence exposing some one to illness and possible death. Every ball of fancy yarn is one ball of yarn taken
 away from the possible supply of
 khaki CT gray. l. is practically i'm, possible to buy khaki yarn today, and the reason is the;t women have taken to fancy knitting with a fury with
 which almost no other fad has ever swert the country
 There should be yarn commission. i The eXtrava%ant usc of brightly col ored yarn should be made impossible. , Aud women should he made to realize , that knitting for themselves is as , Unpatrictic as t rrodigal feast in wartime.

STARS AND STRIPES
OLDEST OF FLAGS

The Stars and Stripes is the Oldest
flag of any nation on earth. The Turk
ligious emblem. but not as a national
flag. Our flag dates from 1777. The
Russian red, white and blue goes back
to the eighteenth century. also. but
used separately and not combined as
now. The tri-color of France was
adopted in 1891, the British Union
Jack, in its present form came into
use in 1901, the German red, white and
black dates from 1867, as does the
flag of Austria-Hungary. The Ital-
ian flag as used dates from 1905, and
the Japan flag from 1859. The flag
of China is as new rs the republic.
Thus, the flag of this nation, the last
to enter the world war, is the oldest
flag of the battle flags.

MINE OPERATORS
FIX COAL PRICES

At meeting of the coal operators
of Colorado, held in Denver, it was
recommended that maximum prices of
coal. to be submitted to government
officials for their approval, be fixed
at $500 per ton for mine run and
S4.25 per ton for lump and prepared
Goals, to be effective from date until
September l.
The committee of Colorado opera
tors at Washington was directed to
take up with government officials the
situation in this state with the eXpec-
tation of securing their approval of a
higher scale of prices, in view of the
special conditions both of mining and
marketing coal here, to become effec-
tive after September l.
These are maximum prices, which
will not be exceeded by Colorado oper-
ators until authority is given by the
government to make a change.

DIES IN TACOMA, WIN.
Operated Upon for Stomach TrOu-

al Saturday.

Word reached this city Tuesday
stating that Thos. Thostenson had
died in a hospital at Tacoma at
o'clock Tuesday morning and
that the remains would arrive in
Nezperee Friday evening. The
funeral viii be held at the Th0s-
tenson home on Central Ridge at
II 90 o'clock Saturday morning
and infcrmeisf take place ia the
Central Ridge cemetery where a
ThostensOn child is buried. His
death resulted from an operation
which was performed about two
weeks ago for stomach trouble.
doctors al that time stating that
the trouble was a cancer and they
held out little hope Of his recov-
cry. His weakened condition
prevented the doctors from finish
ing the first operation and it was
the plan TO let him gain the neces-
sary strength and then perform
a second operation, but he failed
to rally from the shock OF the
first.
Mr.. Thostenson was born in
Norway and came to this country
an orphan when he was about
eleven years old. He was 49 years
of age last October. He is surviv-
ed by a wife and four children,
one girl and three boys, who are
spending the winter near Tocoma.
where the children have been at
tending school. We understand
It is Mrs. Thostens0n s intention
to move back onto the ranch.
The deceased came 10 this conn-
try when the reservation was
thrown open for settlement from
the Genesee section and fled on
a homestead on Central Ridge
north of Mohler. He was a man
of high character and his death
has caused a shadow of sorrow to
pass over the prairie where he has
many friends.
Last summer his friends per-
Suaoed hlm 20 become candidate

ment and as Mr.. ThoStenson was
not present. according to LAW, his
Office became vacant and it falls
upon the governor to fill the va
cancy by appointment. It was
hoped that Mr.. Thostenson would
soon recover and ia that case
Governor Alexander would APP
point him, but as the matter now
stands the governor win probably
fill he vacancy upon the recon-
mendation Of the people living
within the second commissioner s
district.
