VILHJALMUR STEFANSSON

SO much of daring, of peril and of
bound up in the career of Vilhjalmur
Stefansson. as an explorer, that al
though he has frequently been heard
from during the five and one-half
years embraced in his latest wander
/ ings in the Arctic regions. the story
of his experience and discoveries,
which presently he will be telling on
| the lecture platform. will have suf-
fered no discount. Stefansson has been
one of the most assiduous of Arctic
explorers. The quest of the North
| Pole he left to others For him the
great white region of the silent North
contained many things OF interest
other than the Pole, and he has found
most of them. He is back on his ma
tive Canadian soil once more. report
ing, along with other things, that the
principal reason why he has not con
tinued to chronicle the discovery Of
new lands during the latter part of
his journey is that there is no new
land to be discovered in that quarter
of the globe.
The record of the five and one-half
years shows that he found land which
had never before been seen by any
white explorer; that he found hitherto
unknown currents, the discovery OF
which was more important than the
finding of new land; that he reduCe
the non-eXistence of new continent
to a certainty; that instead he was
able to define two islands with total
of 10000 square miles: that on these
are coal deposits as accessible as the
| SpitZbergen coal fields, and that he
came upon and located valuable cop
per deposits.
His discoveries are the property OF
the Dominion government, under the
auspices of which his expedition was
organized and financed Few among
the many expeditions QUILTED for the
far North created more interest than
this. Stefansson had been interesting
the whole world over the results OF a
previous trip when the latest was UNI
dertaken. For one thing he had found
a blonde race OF EskiEos, and that
fact gave rise to no end of learned
discussion among ethnologists. In

River, October IS, 1910" he had writ

FLETCHER'S BIG WORK

Appearing in number of western
papers Of recent date from their
correspondent, Mr.. Dunn,
is the following:
Doubling up Of senators on the
first class committees throws impor-
tant legislation into the hands Of a
very few men. Senators with more
than one term are generally those
who secure places on two or more big
committees, and to them falls the
work and control Of legislation. It
so happens that Senator Fletcher of
Florida has the lions share Of impor-
tant duties to perform just now. As
chairman Of the Committee on Com
|merce, he has the big shipping prob
lens on his hands; as a member Of
the Military Affairs Committee he has
had share in all the legislation
coming from that committee and just
recently he was made member of
the subcommittee from the Commit
tee on the Judiciary, which Is han
ding the Presidents very comprehen-
sive bill, giving him the authority he
wants to carry on the war. Quite e
number of other senators have almost
as much to do as Senator Fletcher"

GERMAN STRESS EXTENDS
! EVEN TO THE GRAVE
Clearwater Sum-

Clearwater Sum-
It has been known for some time
that Germany was stripping the uni
forms from dead Huns on the battle
field for use again by living soldiers.
The custom of stripping uniforms
from dead German soldiers now ex-
tends to the domestic, civilian dead.
The cold-blooded, matter-of-fact
way in which it is proposed to strip
the dead Of their grave clothes is as
tonishly illustrated by an article in a
German newspaper, which says:
mot only have the living a duty to
the Fatherland, but also the dead,
The duty of the dead is to be buried
without clothes. 1t has often been no
ticed that the dead are being buried,
not only with clothes, but with under
clothes, and even shoes and stock
ings.
"This is a beautiful custom, no
doubt, but it is impossible in war
time. The paramount necessity today
to stretch our stocks of woollen goods
makes it imperative that we should
abandon this custom.
Everything depends today on our
utilization Of every possible piece OF
clothing, and only the soft-hearted-
ness of our authorities and tenderness
and consideration toward the feelings
and susceptibilities of the people have
50 far prevented the compulsory strip
Gping Of the dead before interment.
"A hint, however, has now beer
given to all the authorities connected
with burials to put stop to this
practice and to confiscate all unneces
sary clothing.
IF the dead cannot be buried max
ed, why not give them paper clothes
Our paper industry is far enough ad
vanced today to enable us to give thu
dead worthy and even beautiful
clothing.
1T Is now the duty of the govern
ment to promulgate the decision tina
only those who succumb to contagi
Dus diseases shall be buried in thei
linen. Otherwise, this linen and al
other clothing and underclothing mus
belong to the community.
Victory depends on such littl
things as these"

Just put this in writing so there can

Greed and grasping for wealth and
ambition had wrecked the faith y OF
one man in another and planted the
seed of suspicion in the minds OF
nearly all men. Before the war came
to shock men back into a normal con-
dition, they were beginning to bare
their teeth at each other in their mad
clamoring for wealth and in some ex-
IRENE cases they were going even
farther and doing things that were
unfair and dishonorable to accom-

position.

ARE YOU A REAL PATRIOT?
You Are Not Denying Yourself
Anything When Eating Corn
Meal Instead of Flour.

Haven't you heard some people
making a fuss because the order that
went into effect last week requiring
when we buy -four we must buy an
equal amount of substitute for
same? asks the editor Of the Usage
News. Does that kind of person
really belong to the patriotic class?
Man, what are you kicking about
anyway? You ought to be tickled
to death that there is plenty of the
substitute to be had. What is the
matter with those -four substitutes?
They're good to eat, aren't they,
and nourishing? MRS. Housewife,
have you ever thought how many
ways these substitutes can be made
tempting and appetising? AS long
as there are plenty of the substi-
tutes and you have the money with
which to buy them you ought to be
happy. You don't know how we'll
OH you are.
How would you like to be over in
Germany or some other war stricken
country, where about all they have
to eat is substitutes? And most of
these substitutes are made from
things which are not fit to eat and
have so little nourishment in them
that the people are actually starving
after they do eat them. Sit down AID
think things over a few minutes and
| it is our guess you will soon make
up your mind you are mighty glad
you are in the good old U. S. A.
You're not denying yourselfanything
when you eat corn meal once in a
while instead of flour-or when you
cut meat off your bill of fare day
each week. The fact of the matter
is it has been shown we eat toomuch
| meat-we're better off without so
much Of it.
| If you are not ready to go onto a
real war ration such as they have
over the water be satisfied with
what you have-not only satisfied
lbut be glad it's wholesome and that
there is plenty of it and you have
lie money with which to buy it. II
takes a very small spark of patriot
ism to view things in that light.
