THOMAS Is ELECTED PRESIDENT

A meeting of the directors of the
Farm Bureau Association was held
at the court house in this city last
Friday, the object of the meeting
being to elect new president and
one director. which was made nee
essary by the resignation of Earl
Maharg, who has accepted the posi-
tion of county agent of Sac County.
John c. Nelson of Brayton is vice
president of the association. but his
business was in such shape that he
could not take the presidency. f..
B. Thomas, one of our progressive
young farmers of the county, was
elected president. while A. w. Quin-
by was elected as one of the direct
ors. The choosing of these men to
fill these important positions will
meet with universal favor. The
county agent. p. M. Wolf, is having
his office room fixed up at the
court house. and as soon as the fix
lures arrive he will be found up
stairs over the sheriff's office. For
the present he is doing most OF his
clerical work in the office of the
county clerk.

SMALL PER CENT OF
MEN DIE IN THIS WAR

Surgeon General Gorgas says in
the March American Magazine:
General Gorgas' reply was quick,
clear and confident.
There seems to be an impress
sion in this country that to fight in
the present war means almost sure
death to the soldier. AS a matter of
fact. both in the danger from dis
ease and in the deadliness of the
fighting, there is no compar-
ison between the war in Europe to-
day and our Civil war.
lin the Civil war our mortality
was something over 5 per cent for
the four years, 1t is true that the
French armies suffered almost ex-
actly the same death losses during
the first five months of this war.
But people must not forget that
those first five months were the
most disastrous period, especially
for the Allies who were unprepared
in every way.
by 1915 the French had reduced
their mortality to only about two
per cent for twelve months. That
is a rate of only about twenty per
thousand. Even in civil life rate
of thirteen TO fifteen is usual. 1t is
evident therefore that the additional
war risk is surprisingly low.
"'After three days battle in our
Civil war-such a battle as Gettys-
burg for instance third of the
men engaged were left on the field.
You cannot find in the present con-
flict any three days as disastrous as
that.

THE PACIFTST

The pacifist is a chaser OF shadows
says the American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy.
He must have his paper declara-
tons. He cannot be happy without
them. He will make a great fuss
if he cannot have them.
If the pacifit can only have a
declaration on paper guaranteeing
to him the right to do some peculiar
thing that he wants to do, you can
take away from him all the esson-
tial liberties in the world and he
will not miss them.
He would contemplate the coming
of a German army with serene con-
tentment if before you were driven
out by the coming horde you would
grant him a license to make a
speech calling you names.
The pacifist has something the
matter with his eyes. He can see
all manners of conspiracies and ter
rible dangers close at hand but If
you put a few miles between him
and the supreme danger he will re-
fuse to believe that there is any su-
preme danger. though you prove it
to him by a thousand rules Of sci
ence.
The pacifist is a chaser of shad-
ows. He cannot see substance.
The pacifist can see a rainbow but
he cannot see blackjack.

GIVEN FAREWELL SURPRISE

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
NJ. Ross, living four miles north of
this city, was the scene of a very de-
lightful gathering last Thursday
night when sixty-five of their neigh
bors and friends called to pay their
respects to them. The gathering was
surprise to the Ross family anc
came at this time as the family was
soon to move to Audubon. So COM
plete were all details that none of
the family suspicioned what was to
take place. After all the guests had
entered the home and Mr.. and Mrs.
Ross had recovered from their sur
prise, they set about at once to make
their guests feel at home.
1t was not long before games of
various kinds were being played and
a good social time was in full swing.
for time. refreshments were served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ross have lived III
Cameron township for over forty
years and during that time have
been prominently connected with the
life of the community. They have
always been foremost in giving aid
wherever it was needed and have
been so useful in the community
that the neighbors wished to show
them how much they regretted to
see them leave.
For many years Mr. Ross conducted
one of the largest farms in the coun-
ty. He has now reached a place in
life where he feels that he wants
to retire from active farm life and
turn the work over to younger
hands The farm work will be ably
conducted by his sons while Mr.. and
Mrs Ross and their daughter, Miss
Bessie, will find pleasure in their
new home which they recently pur-
chased in Audubon.

THE AMERICAN SPOKESMAN

Henry Clews in his weekly finan-
cial review as usual, takes into &C
counts developments in the world.
wide war. In referring to the rec
ent overlooking of the partisan po-
litical pot the following pertinent
observation is made:
THE president is now coming in
for some criticism in connection with
progress of the war. With the po-
litical and personal aspects of such
criticism. these financial advices
have not the slightest concern. His
tory warns us that all governments
pass through such crises; especially
in the early stages of war, and it
was only patriotic desire not to
embarrass the administration that
prevented an earlier outbreak. Both
Washington and Lincoln had to en-
dure the bitter hostility during the
great crises which they weathered
successfully Mr.. Wilson will prob
ably have to do likewise. The great
leaders in France and Britain have
passed through such attacks with
advantage, and so probably shall We.
though ii is unfortunate that party
politics or personal issues should
have been allowed to intrude. The
Chamberlain episode will undoubt-
eddy have the effect of speeding up
and increasing the efficiency of all
war activities. Whatever criticisms
may have been made concerning the
presidents appointments and his
policies in domestic affairs-and
these are not infrequent-his for
eign policies have been singularly
sane. just and high minded. No
man has more clearly spoken the
mind of the American people and
their attitude toward Germany than

CINE that was unable to perform the
work and broke on several occasions
because of the heavy strain upon 1t.
The pumping station has been en-
larged to double that of its former
size by the building OF additions to
the north and west sides of the main
building. There has been more or
less trouble since the deep we'll has
been in existence and ii is now to
be hoped that all our troubles arc

FIRST OFFICIAL REPORT
At OUR SANCTUM

Martin Mogg comes in again for
honors by officially declaring that
the spring robin has arrived. He
says that the robin he saw was in
his back yard and was rolling
gigantic angleworm, which was
lolling with half its succulent
length on the ground in the rays of
the sun. Mart says that there have
heretofore been reported visions of
robins, but in the spring the robins
coat is of a rather plain or dusky
hue and it takes an expert to be
sure that he has not called some
other kind of bird a robin. Mart
has not yet announced the date OF
the spring opening of the fishing
season.

- NE of the most Interesting as well as
unusual of the0romances the great
~ war shaped isGhat of George Henry
Warren. Jr., of New York, Newport and
Paris, and Miss Katherine Uruuhart. of
Charlottesville, Va.
Young Mr.. Warren is heir of the War
rem. son Of Mr.. George Henry, ST., nephew
OF Lloyd and Whitney Warren and the late
Mrs. Robert Goelet. In his pre-war days
he was known as Viewpoints Speed Prince,
and no name appeared moro frequently on
the police blotters for defiance of traffic
regulations than did his.
Miss Urquhart is the daughter of
Southern college professor, and is an earn
est Red Cross worker.
Young Mr.. Warren has so much money
he finds difficulty in keeping track Of it.
Miss Urquhart, though blessed with
brains and charm, does not come from the
Croesus kind.
Not so long ago Mr. Warren was en-
gagged to a lovely young lady of his own
set, one who liked as well as he to "steD
on" the throttle and who opined the gaso-
line was low whenever an auto went less
than fifty miles an hour
Now she is married to a man as unlike
her former choice as his present one is
unlike her in speed yearning.
And all this has the war done. changing
the love ideals of young Mr. Warren. So
short time ago he was the leader Of the
younger members of the Circus Set, happy
only when terrorizing Newport with his
ninety horsepower runabout with pretty
Miss Adelaide Cannon by his side. To-day
he is sedate young liaisOn officer in the
United States army, somewhere overseas.
and engaged to marry a most earnest
young Red Cross war worker Miss Kath-
crime Urquhart, of Charlottesville Va.
AS soon as the announcement was made
every one who is any one in the Newport
colony, which means all of the Warrens'
relatives and friends, began barking back
to the years just before the great war
broke out. And particularly TO the Sum-
mers of 1911-12. All, those were the happy
days for Mr. George Henry, Jr., heir to
half a dozen millions and member of
Americas most exclusive set He had
outgrown his boyhood's love affairs with
Miss Mildred Rives and Miss Kate Willis
and settled down to capturing lovely,
blondehaired Elizabeth Adelaide, daughter
of Mrs. Theodore Frelinghuysen by her
first husband, Harry lie Grand Cannon.
