TUCKERMAN DEPARTMENT

1 John Rorex, formerly a resident of this place, but who now resides at Saltwater, Okla, is visiting rel atives and friends in this section. He is a half brother of Richard and Joe Randy.
 | County Treasurer Crack Smith and family of Newport visited among their many Tuckerman rela- tives last Sunday.
 Grandpa Hout returned last week from Monette, Craighead county, where he spent several days visiting his grandson, Geo. Hout, who was recently preparing to enter Uncle I Sam's service.
 l w. R. Rice and wife returned home the latter part of last week from a fortnight's visit among rela- tives in Texas and Oklahoma. Frank Biggers, of Shawnee, Okla, visited his father and other relatives in this section several days during the past week. Mrs. s. c. Wick and children re- turned home last Saturday from their former home in Barren township, where they spent about three weeks visiting among their many friends and kinspeople.
 The household effects belonging to II. N. Greehaw and family and which were recently shipped from Conway, cane in several days ago and the family is again comfortably located i in the home on West Second street which they formerly occupied. Esquire Jno. F. Smith and family, who reside in Jefferson township vis- tied at the home of w. M. Shaver last Sunday.
 E. D. Gardner and family, who re- side in the western part of Glass township a few miles north of here. spent the day last Sunday with Tuckerman relatives.
 This section of the county was vis- tied by a very heavy downpour of rain on Wednesday night of last week. The earth was saturated with water almost to the point of flood ing. Most crops in this section were almost famishing for the want of moisture. Since then almost every kind of vegetation has shown signs of being revived and putting on new growth. The crops were greatly benefitted and most of them now promise much heavier yield. Much old corn was already past redemp- ton but after all will receive some benefit. Young corn, hay, gardens, potatoes and cotton have all been benefited very much. Most people have taken advantage of the season of moisture which now prevails and have replanted their gardens and are planting many of the heavier crops such as potatoes, hay and corn. So much has already been done that more foodsttuff will be in evidence later on if the season is favorable for their growth.

FLAMES, TANNED BY STRONG WIND,
 AGAIN THREATENING
Fire Fighters Dispatched to Various Districts Report ed Threatened by New
 Conflagrations

Moose Lake, Minn., October 16--While state officials and representatives of relief organizations conferred today to provide funds for rehabi1itating the fire devastated region of northern Min nesota, easterly winds of rhcreasing velocity famed fresh conflagrations into threatening proportions.
 Many reports of dangerous fires were received at relief headquarters here lateN today, and fire fighters were im- mediately dispatchd to the various dis tricts.
 Although searehers located more bodies to add to the total of 500 known dead. it was believed that these were victims of the fearful disaster of Sat urday and Sunday and that few. if any, deaths were claimed by new fires to- day. More than 200 persons are critical ly i'll in hospitals at Duluth and other places, causing state officials to esti- mate the general death toll at upwards of 1000 men, women and children. Au- tomobiles continued today to return to Moose Lake with loads of dead.
 George H. Nettleton, state fire mar shal and deputy insurance commission CT, here to investigate the causes of the fires estimated the property loss at more than 100,000,000
 This estimate covers the three coun- ties of Aitkin, Carlton and St Louis. MT. Nettleton was not prepared to make a statement as to the origin of the fires.

calls for 49 different articles of food, and vet because the government figures in tons and millions, a soldier can be fed for g cents per day. The increased cost of living has made itself felt, how ever, for soldier of the United States, during the Spanish-American war was able to receive his three squares" for 12.S1 cents.
 A particular reason why it costs the United States more than the other coun- tries to wage war is because it is waging war abroad To maintain an American in France costs s423.H per annum. of which sum $351.s5 goes for food. A soldier is maintained in the United States for $327.7S per annum, of which sum slSS.S0 goes for food.
 duct of the war, the United States has spent for shoes $l2S, o0O00. In the civil war the government furnished brogans while the Confederates went barefooted. Some days ago the government made ar- rangements to furnish each of it's sol diers two pairs, one in which to drill and the other for general walking. They will cost approximately s the pair.
 Some other big bills the government has paid follow: For flour s37, ,OOo, 600; sugar, s14.o0o 600; bacon, s43, 3,o00.000; beans, s12, ,000. 900; canned tomatoes. S9,0o0,000; rice. $3, ,000, 900.
 For clothes the government has paid $500, 900 600.
 So it is easy to find out where the money goes.

Easy to Tell Where the Money Goes From Loan
American Soldier Best Paid Best Fed and Best Equipped In the World, But No One at Home Begrudges the
 Best For Boys at Front
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, October 16.--(SpecialJ Why does it cost the United States more to wage war than it costs any other na- ton? Because it costs the United States more to do anything.
 This is one thought which has followed in the wake of the universal inquiry What becomes of the millions we have appropriated for war purposes?" The United States soldier, as a rule, is 8 man more accustomed to the best the market affords. The government is main taining the high standard of living. The American soldier is better fed, better clothed and better paid than any other soldier.
 German soldiers receive the next best pay. Of the allies the pay of British and Canadian soldiers more nearly approxi- mates that of the United States. The ration of the American soldier is the best, that of England second. The ra- tion of France would meet a cold re- ception on the part of the average Amer ican; that of Italy, a very cold recep- tion.
 It is now established that the sub sstence of the American army is fast approaching 600 per day. Napoleon said an army travels on it's stomach, The government of the United States agrees with the axiom.

INFLUENZA SPREADS AMONG CIVILIANS;
 DECREASE IN CAMPS

fIuenza in most parts of the country, improvement was nofed in some states, particularly Vermont and New Jersey. There was decreasing evidence through out Vermont, while the epidemic was said to have passed its peak in Glou- cester N J., where it has been very severe. Improved conditions also were noted in parts of Tennesse
 It is estimated that there now are at least 100000 cases of the disease in Virginia, while the estimate for Con- necticut was placed at 10000 up to yesterday Epidemics continued to be reported in many parts of Arkansas, while new cases were reported from practically all sections of Maryland, Louisiana, Oklahoma and other states,
 In Californi 6500 cases had been re- ported to October 14. No sharp increase was noted in any of the larger cities, but the number of cases continues to rise steadily. In Hawaii few cases have appeared and those of mild character.
 The epidemic continues unabated in Washington and as further step in the fight to control the disease the Red Cross today began distributing gauge masks. Many government clerks wore than on crowded street cars and at work, while they were in general use in barber shops and to limited extent elsewhere.
