WHAT ARE YOUR
MEASUREMENTS?

If you can measure up to these re-
quirements you can go to France as
a Y. NJ. C. A. secretary:
Good mixer.
Over draft age.
Not a pacifist or Stacker.
Willing to 90 under shell fire.
Broad gagged and willing to go
where sent.
The call has gone out from the Ma
tional War Work Council of the Y. M.
C. A. for 1000 men for overseas serv-
ice before September /. These men
must go to France as big brothers for
the boys who have gone from their
homes to fight in the great cause. The
Y. M. c. A secretary must take cheer
into his life, serve him at all times
and keep him fit to fight
Frank A. Jackson, head of the bu-
reau of personnel for the National
War Work Council of the Y. M. c. A.,
with headquarters at 519 First Ma
tional Bank Building, San Francisco,
says that the need for men at this
time is most urgent.
eve want men big enough to have
smile and CHEEKY word when they
themselves are tagged out after hours
of service for our boys. We want men
with big hearts and hard muscles, men
who will go to France on a blind as
signment, ready to handle whatever
job appears at the moment to be most
urgent. We need natural leaders, men
who are real men, good mixers and
capable of exerting the proper in
fluence.
eve don't want pacifists, slackers.
Our men go under shell fire. They
have been gassed and wounded by
bursting shrapnel. We need men who
understand something about athletics,
who can drive motor trucks. We need
red-blooded American men who don't
know what fear is, but who want to
serve overseas and do something to
help win this war"

POISONING THE GRASSHOPPERS

A II the risk of displaying our ignorance of agri-
cultural problems, we are going to ask our
county agent and other authorities on the subject
how they can Justify the methods recommended
and endorsed for combating the grasshopper
plague by the poisoning route and how they can
reconcile this procedure with propaganda that is
put forth every little while in the interests of the
preservation Of "feathered songsters," who are
represented to be among the farmers best friends.
Is it merely matter of choosing the lesser of
two evils, is there really no particular danger
to the birds from eating the poisoned grasshop-
pers? If the poisoning Of the grasshoppers does
seriously imperil the Birds then it looks like trad
ing future welfare for little temporary relief
On behalf of our readers who may also be at
sea in this matter, we should like little expert
information for publication.
We note that the grasshoppers are also numer-
Gus up in Juab county and that the farmers I'M
der the advice of heir county agent, are using the
poisoning method of combating them.

LAST week we had considerable to say in these
columns concerning the Importance and advsa-
bility of securing the water supply from the Nava-
io Lake project for the Cedar Valley. which is
much in need of an increased water supply. We
hope that our efforts will bear fruit, at least to
the extent of obtaining a thorough investigation
of the proposition, which appears to offer much
of Importance to the future growth and develop
ment of this section of the country. A meeting
called for last Friday evening to consider the sub
ject was not sufficiently advertised or the people
were too much engrossed with field work to heed
the call, and not enough were present to accom-
plish anything. If any move of this time is to be
undertaken, now is the time to act for the sooner
the project is put the less danger there is of
conflict with existing rights.

MAYBE we ought to make some allowance for
the reports of the fighting in France reaching us
being colored natural consequence of coming
from allied sources, but even then the news of the
conduct of our brave American lads is most graft
flying. There is certainly no better fighters in line
on either side, and they are holding their sections
of the front with more tenacity than either the
British or French. The boys are there for a pur-
pose, acting largely on their own initiative, and
their hearts are in the task before them which,
more than anything else, spells the doom of the
military autocracy in Germany. Slaves to a set
of tyrants who have to be prodded into battle with
the bayonet cannot stand against free men who
are fighting for the preservation of that freedom
and human rights

Life Insurance.

Lie insurance.
The Secretary of State has received
the following cablegram from General
Pershing
"Al ranks of the American EXpedi-
tionary Forces appreciate deeply the
generous measure the Government has
taken to provide insurance for their
families, in proof of which more than
80 per cent of men have taken out in
surance To wisely provision for their
loved ones heartens our men and
strengthens the bonds that unite the
army and people in our strong deter
mination to triumph in our most right
eous cause"
The Bureau of War Risk Insurance
up to June 28 has written $2l ,566,-
100000 insurance, representing 2,570,
455 applications. The average amount
of insurance applied for is SS,387, and
in some battalions and regiments,
some in France and some here, every
man has taken out insurance. In
some units every man is insured for
the maximum $4,000.
One of the American generals says
that this Government insurance is an
element of victory, All Liberty Bond
holders and all purchasers of War
Savings Stamps may feel that they
had part in this insurance-the most
just and humane provision ever made
by any nation for its fighting men.

A WORK FOR PATRIOTS

WITH the possible exception of the Red Cross,
w there is no organization doing more for the
comfort, betterment and support of our soldiers
overseas and in the training camps than the Y.
M. c. A., through their secretaries and canteen
huts This is a labor of love and mercy which
calls for real Christians who are not afraid to
accept the precepts of Christ, when he says, Sell
all that we have and give to the poor, and follow
Me-" in spirit if not literally.
Naturally it is hard to find men imbued with
sufficient unselfsh devotion to country, humanity
and right to leave their individual work and in
terests and embark on such mission as the Y
M. c. A. has to offer to its secretaries But many
loyal fellows and women are in the service in this
capacity and are doing splendid work.
The following Letter from f. F. Runyon, Direc
tor of publicity for the Western Division, states
the case of the Y. M. c. A. clearly and fervently
San Francisco, July TO- 1918
DEAR Mr. EDITOR More than anything else
the Y M. c. A. in its war work overseas needs
draft age, Of good character, capable
of serving soldiers in the fighting zone,
who are willing to put up with inconvenience,
face danger and obey orders.
We realize that it takes a of large calibre
to fit into such position. There in your
community capable of measuring up to this stand
ard who would serve with credit men who would
command respect over there and who are anxious
to do something to help win this war.
Won't you help find the need
Won't you personally and through your newspa
per make an appeal for men for this red-blooded
work overseas? From the eight states of the west
we must send $50 men earh month for an indei-
mite period.
We must have 1000 men for y. NJ.
c. A. service before September | and 5000 add-
tona men by fall. 1t is monumental task. We
need help to put this great program through. The
job of Y NJ. {. A. secretary overseas is big
enough for any to tackle. Can we count up
your community furnishing its quota of men?
Very sincerely yours,
+. Il. RUNYON.

TOURIST travel through this section, over the
Arrowhead Trail, is becoming quite an important
item. and has stimulating effect upon business
conditions. This despite the fact that the road
is not in nearly as good condition as it should be
for travel. We trust that the forces can be mar
shalled in the near future and the weak spots in
the trail repaired and made comfortable for travel
when very marked benefits will begin to flow to
all sections along the line. In addition to this is
the convenience the road will be to local people
along the route themselves, when they have oc-
casion to use it.

Is J.

FOR the fifth time big German offensive on
the western battle front in France, has beer
checked, with frightfu losses of men for the Cen
trail Powers. 1t must have become apparent by
this time to Germany, we should think, that her
dream of capturing Paris and the English Channel
ports, is vain and impossible dream, lust its
hallucnation of world domination. And when this
disillusioning fully comes, what will be the course
of the Central Powers With ultimate and dis
astrous defeat staring them in the face and with
the rightful loss of life continuing, with staI
ton creeping on them and another winters hard
ships for the soldiers in the trenches approaching,
will they have the courage and determination to
persist in their unworthy undertaking, under these
disheartenng conditions? We can't help expecting
to see the German pot boil the lid off before long,

Keep The Kidneys Well


Many Richmond people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are re-
sponsible for a vast amount of suffer
ing and in health-the slightest de-
lay is dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney
Pills - a remedy that has helped
thousands of sufferers. Here is n
Richmond citizens recommendation:
Mrs. w. T. Mansfield, 1877 S. Estill
avenue says; 81 had backache and was
run down and languid. My ddenys
were weak. Doan's Kidney Pills re
lieved the backache and put my kid
neys in good condition. Whenever
] have any sign of kidney trouble, !
have used Doan's Kidney Pills and
they never failed to give me good re-
suits"
Price so cents at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doans' Kidney Pills-that same that
Mrs. Mansfield had. Foster ilburn

j. S. WARSH|P'S FLEET
WAS IN YORK HARbOR
Daniels lust Reveals Where Amer
ica's Fighters Awaited Call to
Action During War.

Washington Dec. l5.-York River,
described by Secretary Daniels as "the
worlds greatest depot for battleshlps," "
was the home port of that part of the
Atlantic feet which missed the chance
Of war service in foreign waters.
Where is the fleet?' a question often
asked during the war, was answered
today by Secretary Daniels, Except
those units sent abroad, battleships
and other craft, under command OF
Vice Admiral Albert w Grant, anchored
right where Admiral Rochambeau' s
French fleet took its stand and cut off
relief by sea for General CORVALLIS.
From the anchorage of the ships Adj
mra Grants men could sec the shores
of Yorktown, where CORVALLIS surren-
dered.
While stationed at this ancient naval
base, the ships passed back and forth
through Chesapeake Bay to the sea, but
under the voluntary censorship no refer
ence ever was published as to the loca-
ton. II was all routine for the men.
Secretary Daniels explained, with no
shore attractions, and the voyage to
New York of ten or twelve battleships
for the Homecoming of the feet from
Europe will be welcome change Lib
era Christmas leave will be granted to
these and all others in the navy.
Protected from the danger of submar-
inc attack by nets across the mouth Of
York River, officers and men put in
many months of very efficient work.
Mr. Daniels said. In many instances
| 400 men were crowded on ships whose
normal compliments were 500, and good
work under these conditions he added,
was ono of the big accomplishments
of the navy.

Of great pride to his entire family and he

LOSES BRITISH oRDEp
An honor which was held, but lost,
by the Crown Prince, was the Order of
of the Garter, the British order of chivalry
This honor was conferred upon Frederick
Wilhelm in England in 1901. Shortly
after the war began, however, his mem
bership in the order was withdrawn on
the charge of unchivalrous behavior In
warfare
OF many tales of his conduct durinr his
leadership of one of the German armies,
the most unprincely is the picture OF HIM
looting and desecrating the towns he
entered, possibly as an example to his
followers, possibly in the mad JOY oi
destruction.
Eitel Frederick was another of the siS
militarists TO achieve fame as an advocate
of pillaging as relaxation for his men from
the strain of life in the trenches. HIS
own share in his soldiers recreation can
be judged from the title "Robber Prince
which has stuck to him throughout the
war. Souvenir collecting was an amusc-
ment in high favor with him, only OBJ
jects of value being considered worthy
of acceptance.
Now, however. any plunder carried on
by the former leaders OF armies will be
confscated Their souvenirs of the war
will be limited largely to memories of
the terror they inspired in their raids.

WANT TO RETAIN RANK.
Men at Camp Dix Who Won Com
missions Anxious Over New
Status.

Camp Dix. Wrightstown, n. J., Dec.
16.-Whcther the American soldier who
bas won his way to commission and
is now rated for discharge, because
with the war over the government
has no further need Of his services
in that capacity, will be willing to
go back into the ranks for service as
non-commissioned officer is a qies-
tion of widening interest raised today
by announcement from the War Depart
ment that commanding officers may
offer such re-enllstment To honorably
discharged temporary officers. Con
gress, last March, approved plan of
such re-enlistment, the candidate being
assured of the grade he held prior to
his assignment TO an officers training
camp or to his direct promotion TO q
commissioned rank
The majority of temporary officers
here have expressed a desire for inn
mediate discharge, TO get back to their
former civilian pursuits. Many, how
ever, have expressed n preference for
remaining in service with transfer To
commissions in the regular army. Any
of the above mentioned class who ask
for immediate discharge and later de-
eide they would like to re-enter the
service as "non-coms' may make ap-
plicatiou for enlistment within three
months. Until the emergency is ter
minated by peace proclamation such
enlistment will be for the period of the
emergency.
