HOUSE-TO-HOUSE CANVASS
FOR NURSES.

The government wants to know
All Red Cross chapters in this
territory and other parts of the
state have been instructed to con
duct a survey or census of nurses
thru house-to-house canvass. This
survey, which will occupy the week
of October 20, will be undertaken
at the instance of the Secretary of
War and the Surgeon General of the
U. S. Army. The questionnair system
will be employed to gather the ne
cessary data.
The nurse survey has a double
purpose. While primarily intend.
ed as a means of directing a proper
withdrawal of nurses for Army and
Navy needs, the government also
has in mind the health and general
welfare of tho civilian population
The government must have 25,00C
nurses by January 1. In order not to
utterly deprive the civilian population

services of these women, it becomes

Of the long delay in obtaining official
confirmation Of the rumors Of his de-
mise, another was known to have made
the supreme sacrifice month or two
before the receipt of this informa-
ton.
Elmer was a splendid type of phys
zeal manhood, strong and powerful,
and went willingly and checrfully to
the defense Of human liberty. He
had not resided many years among us,
being a refugee from Mexico when
that country became unfit for white
people to reside in; but he had many
friends here who regret deeply his
death, and extend sympathy and con-
dolence to his parents and other rela-

THE epidemic of Spanish influenza
which has been raging in the eastern
portion of the United States, has now
moved west and has made its appear
ance in Utah. Hundreds of cases have
developed in Salt Lake City and the
congregating there during the fair and
conference accorded an exuellent means
of communicating it to every part of
the state. Cedar City has a number
of cases now, and practically every
town of any size in the state will
pass through the epidemic. The NOR
tally is quite high with this disease
because of the tendency towards pned-
monia, which when it develops in con-
nection with this disease appears to
be almost incurable, and is taking "a
heavy toll of lives in various parts of
the country, and has claimed few
victims already in this state. Under
instructions of the State Board of
Health all towns where the disease
develops are placed under strict reg
ulations, all public gatherings are
prohibited, and a strong effort is be-
ing made to stamp out the dangerous
epidemic, which is highly contagious.

necessary to take stock of all avail
able nurse timber at this time, so that
an equal distribution of them may
be made.
Every nurse is comprehended--
graduate, undergraduate, registered,
unregistered, pupil nurses, nurse
aides and the very large number
so-caled semi-trained nurses, whicN
include practical nurses, midwives
and trained attendants. A complete
classification of these women will be
made. Every family must cooperate
with the Red Cross Nurse Survey
representatives, an order to make this
canvas a success.
The request of the Secretary of
War and the Surgeon General a.
mounts to an order, so that the Red
Cross, as we'll as those embraced by
the survey, must do everything pos
sible to provide the required data and
information.

FRIDAY, OCT. II, 1918.
IT MUST GO OVER

COME apprehension is felt by the
~ Treasury Department of the u.
S. on account of the slow response
being made to this the Fourth Liberty
Bond sale. More than half of the 21
days allotted for the sale have expired
at this writing and not more than 30
per cent of the six billions of dollars
worth Of bonds have been taken. For
the first time since the United States
entered the war there is n possibility
of the country not going "over the
top" with Liberty Loan on schedule
time. There can be no doubt but that
the repeated calls for large sums of
money deplete the savings and resour-
ces of the people, but only so far as
the United States goes into other
markets to purchase supplies and to
defray expenses on foreign land, is
this wealth lost to the country The
fact that we are fighting In foreign
countries would of course have ten
dency to create this condition, but at
the present time we would suppose
that it was nearly offset by the pur-
chases of other nations from us. 1t
is possible, if the war continues for
a considerable time that we may feel
the effects of balance in trade
against US, due to the war, and that
the country may be seriously pinched
to provide the siews of war; but it
hardly seems possible that this is the
real condition at this time. The mon
ey must be here, somewhere, probably
for the most part in the hands of the
profiteers in war materials, and they
must be made to disgorge, for IA fail
ure on the part of our government to
raise the revenue needed for the con-
duct of the war at this time would be
one of the most heartening things
that could happen for the central pow
ers as well as the most disheartning
things that could happen for our boys
at the front.
The secretary of the treasury has
issued "A call for everyone to double
their allotted purchases of bonds, and
it appears that this may be necessary
in order to reach our detectives on
schedule time. Or at least it may be
necessary to exact double duty of the
"willinU bnrSav
In Iron county the drive is consid-
erably behind and it is time energetic
measures were being taken to insure
our quota being made up.
One thing we are lacking here is
the program OF education that was
planned to precede the formal opening
of the drive and which should have
been, conducted under the direction of
the county committees through the
medium Of the newspapers. This has
been found in most places to be of
great assistance in preparing the way
for the canvassers, but apparently
there is need locally for the educa-
''Oi VI NhN NOiiihiV'SS NP W ViS 'diuS
Of education" for the people who are
expected to buy the bonds.
But however this may be, the fact
remains that there is an imperative
need for the putting over of this loan
promptly, and it ought to be up to
every patriotic individual to do his or
her part, and do it promptly,
The boys in the front line are ac-
quitting themselves nobly, and the
folks at home must see to it that they
receive the support they so richly
merit.

FROM the haste displayed by Ger
many in quitting Belgium and France,
he appears to have changed his mind
about the advantages of that section
of country, and President Wilson's
stipulation in regard to the vacuation
of occupied territory hardly seems to
be necessary. Like the fellow who
rode the bucking horse, however, they
could retire more gracefully if they
were allowed more time. 1t beginns to

THE STATE HIGHWAY

THE people Of the state must hand
Il it to Beaver county when it
comes to matter of good roads.
Beaver has spent a good deal of mon
ey, matching state funds, in the inn
provement Of their highways, and as
they have a good formation to build
roads over, they have the best stretch
of road traversed by the Arrowhead
! Trail in Utah. Juab county has some
very good road, but it does not come
up 10 the Beaver county road. Mil
| lard county has lot of road to main
| tain, and considerable of it is decided
ly poor. Salt Lake and Utah coun-
ties positively ought to be ashamed
of the condition of their roads. They
are actually in worse shape today
than they were six or eight years ago,
with the exception Of 10 miles of pave
ment in the suburbs of Salt Lake, and
about a couple of miles adjacent to
Pleasant Grove in Utah county. OF
course, there are stretches in both
counties that are fairly good, but
for the most part they are full Of
bumps and holes and cobble rocks
that are hard on tires.
In Iron county the roads in dry
whether are fair average with the
rest, but are not comparable with
those of Beaver and Juab counties,
which are practically all surfaced or
constructed of decomposcd granite,
the very finest of native road mater
| ials.
Utah county has the nerve to dis
play conspicuous sign at the south
ern portal which reads, "Welcome to
/ Utah County" and then treats the
tourist to a buffeting and shaking not
surpassed in any part of the Arrow
head Trail above the Bellevue black
ridge.
1t is delightful drive, over good
roads, for the most part, from lie Van,
in Juab county, over into the Sewer
valley and up past Richfield to Joe
Town, but Clear Creek canyon is bad,
and the nearer you approach the elu-
sive summit of the divide, the worse
it gets, particularly after storm.
The distance that way between Salt
Lake and Cedar City is scarcely 20
miles farther, but the road through
the Clear Creek pass must be i'm
proved before the road becomes pop
ular that way. Though the variety
which the "loop" affords is pleas
ing diversion and seems to shorten
the drive.
One of the first important under
takings after the war is over, should
be the construction of a strip of con-
crete right down through the state
from Logan to ST. George, when q
drive the length of the state by auto
mobile will become real pleasure
and the saving to the state in the mat
ter of traffic of all kinds will soon
repay the money required to build it

SPANISH influenza is said to be
doing its bit for the Hun soldiers as
well as our own. as thousands and
thousands of cases are reported among
them. With the scarcity of food and
clothing that is known to maintain

that the disease will take a heavy
toll of life, and possibly shortening,
to some extent, the duration of the

THE Salt Lake Herald in front
page editorial treasures its readers
by telling them that the epidemic of
Spanish influenza which is raging
throughout the country is mot SER
ious.' incidentally the Herald states
some valuable truths in relation to
precautions and the avoiding of pan
ic. But as to its statement that the
epidemic is not serious, we certainly
must take issue. When an epidemic
in a state is charged with 67 per cent
Of its entire mortality during a given
period of time, it is quite evident that
it is serious. Another thing that
makes it highly serious is the fact that
it is so very contagious. 1t has over
run the entire United States and prac-
tically the world, in the course of only
a few weeks. OF course, there is no
use getting frightened to death, and
by taking precautions to avoid cold,
exposure or heavy exertion of any
kind at the outset, the mortality can
be kept much lower than if it is treat
ed as an ordinary cold and the pa
tient attempts to go about his ordi-
nary duties, as a strong individual is
very apt to attempt TO do.
