A PERTINENT question of the day is,
what is my share of the cost of the
war? Our men who have gone into the
army and navy, our women who have
gone into hospital work back of the
firing line have dedicated their entire
efforts to the cause. They are giving
100 per cent of effort. 1t is for US to
determine how nearly we can approx
innate to the supreme sacrifice. The
expenses of the government for the
coming year are estimated at fifteen
billion dollars. Those who have made
a scientific study of the matter believe
that the savings of the nation available
for reinvestment in various forms now
amounts to eighteen billion dollars a
year. The war revenue taxes are ex-
pected to yield seven and half bill
lions, leaving an equal amount to be
raised by bond issues. There is no use
blinking at the facts of the case. We
may as we'll face them now and pre-
pare to adjust our affairs so that we
can take up the burden, not for this
year alone but perhaps for other years
to follow.

Dust in the Sweeper.

"Only last week found Mary's ear
ring here" said the experienced house
wife to younger woman as yet quite
inexperienced in housekeeping ways
who had wondered why the speaker
should look over the accumulated dust
that she had just shaken out of a
carpet sweeper; the Mary referred to
being the maid employed in this home.
'sMary came to me-" the speaker con-
tinued, ''and said she had lost one Of
her earrings and she had looked every
where for it, but just simply couldn't
find it; but knew the likeliest place
to look for it, and there did find it,
in the dust Of the carpet sweeper,
where many a jewel has been found be-
fore this, and where, no doubt, many a
jewel has been lost. / always look
over the dust out Of carpet sweeper
before throwing it away" Upon hear
ing which the inexperienced young
woman registered mental resolve
that when she went to housekeeping
she would do the Same.

AFTER a protracted and bitter debate
the United States senate passed a bill
called the sedition bill, prohibited un-
der penalty of twenty years imprison-
went and $4,000 fine for language or
acts of disloyalty or obstruction OF the
army draft and liberty loans. 1t is de-
signed to also punish willful and dis
loyal, profane, scurrilous, contempt
uous or abusive language about the
American form of government, consti-
ton, military or naval forces, flag or
uniform, and willful utterances de-
signed to curtail production of essen
tial war materials"

For the second time, it now appears,
Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
will be reelected without any opposi-
ton from any party. kilograms from
members of all parties urged him to be
a candidate again and $500 travelling
men signed a petition asking him to
become candidate. After these many
expressions of the will of the people
Senator Nelson announced that he
would yield to their judgment Nelson
is serving his fourth term in the senate
now.-Deerfeld News

Music,s Effects

Children, the young and the vigorous,
are more resistant or find more pleas
ure in noises than do the older and
less healthy. Martial music to incite
action, courage and animal spirits ap-
proaches that mild bedlam of the av-
erage boy. The rhapsodies of love and
effete civilization require soft, sooth-
ing, gentle and calm melodies. The
supersensitiye ears of such quiet, far
from-bold natures are made i'll by the
rugged sounds Of conquering heroes

My Dear Mother
| thought we would get some mail
to-day, but none came. The fellow that
had the company clerk position has been
promoted and Fl have his position. |
have a nice place to sleep right here in
the Office. | had to walk about ten
miles to regimental headquarters and
back to see about some paper work
but like the job first rate.
We are settled now and things are
going along fine. The French people
are so accommodating and kind. They
try to do everything they can for US.
Tonight bought some milk at one
of the houses and the lady gave me
cup to drink. They will do our laundry
for us and charge practically nothing.
The quart of milk cost 35 confines or
about z cents. This money over here
sure is joke You can have whole
pocket full and only have the value of
10 or IL cents.
Our Co has been divided and part of
the men left here so there are some of
the Edgerton fellows that | probably
will not see for some time. Last night
| talked with an officer who had just
returned from the trenches. | wish l
gould tell you all the interesting things
he told.
There is concert at our new Y. M.
C. A. tonight but | don't think | will
go as [ have little work to do and am
going to bed. We have the Edison
here in the office and it sure is a joke
to see some of the French people stop
and look at it as they are passing. |
have a little French book and with the
help of it | can make the people where
[ stay understand what | want to say
to them.
Don't worry if you don't hear from
me as often as you think you should. |
am we'll and will write as often as |
can or as often as there is anything to
write. Love,

In private letter to Henry johnson,
Lieut.. Ernest Wood tells of the break
ing up of Co. M, 12Sth Unfit, and how
fare the Edgerton boys:
France, March 29th, 1918.
NV Dear Mr.. Johnson:
How are you? Fine, hope. Have
often wondered how you were. | have
had wonderful experience since see
ing YOU.
We have had great change in the
company. All privates of Co. M have
been transferred to M Co., 18th u. S.
Infantry. The only men left in Co. M,
128th Infantry, as | remember, are
Mahlon Ogden, George Ogden, Guy
Ogden, Gerald Ogden, Bunker, Clark,
Lutz, Lynts, Ellingson, Hayes, Jensen,
Norgard, Short, Fredendall, McDon-
ough, Fosse, Madden, and there may
be few others that l can't mention at
present.
| have been transferred to Head
quarters Troop, 1st Army Corps. Cap
tain Caldwell has been sent to school,
but I expect him to return to the COM
pany, but the rest Of Us never will. We
will all meet in Edgerton some day,
feel. / feel quite honored by being
sent here, but would have preferred to
stop with the boys. Some of our Ed
gerton men are in the hospital with the
humps, ETC., otherwise are happy.
l sure hated to part with that bunch
of Edgerton men that had taken to
Texas, but it couldn't be helped. 1t
seems they are trying to break up this
home town idea. In lots af ways it is
the best thing to do. 81.
Your friend,
