MAKING PREPARATIONS TO
CARE FOR The WAR VICTIMS
What We May Expect Indicated in
the Call for $4,000 More Beds.
About 1000 for Each Hospital.

Just what the army officials ex-
pect in the way of casualties may be
guessed by the declaration of Sur
geon General Gorgas that 10000
beds in addition to those already es-
tablished in general government hos
pitfalls must be provided before the
winter of 1918-19 to care for wound
ed soldiers and sailors.
Under the surgeon generals plan
each soldier hospital, when complet-
ed, would have between 1900 and
1000 beds. The government hospital
at Hot Springs, Ark, he says, should
be increased not less than 1000 beds.
Recommendations will also be made
shortly for the establishment of a
general hospital organized as a colo
ny for the treatment of men suffer-
ing from epilepsy.
Insane victims of the war? Oh,
yes; we shall have them. Under the
policy so far recommended the in
sane will be treated in special wards
at the Walter Reed Hospital, Wash
ington, and at hospitals to be locat-
ed at Fort Mcpherson, Ga; Fort
Sam Houston, Texas; Fort Des
Moines, Iowa, and the Letterman
General Hospital at San Francisco.
The general hospital at Baltimore
will be used for the treatment of the
blind and deaf and certain forms of
troumatic speech defects.

George AIDE on The War
Corn Belt Author and Philosopher Speaks Up
| About Certai War Activit

While the war is on the active work
in support of the boys at the front
will be shouldered cheerfully by men
and women little too old for aero
batic service, but not yet frosted at
the temples.
They will supply part of the money
and most of the "pep" needed to sup
ply and encourage a huge army in
the field.
1t is for them to realize that we
have passed the period of doubling
and question answering.
We have come to the days when
hustling must supplant conversation.
1t was all right six months ago to
spare an hour day in trying to con-
vince some one with vacant eve and
dark mind that we were really JUS
tilted in accepting the insolent chal-
lenge thrown at US by Germany.
Abe Martin met a Teller down in
Brown county that never heard of
Tony Pastor, and we have tax payer
in our township who thinks the world
Is fiat, and you can find cabaret per-
formers in New York city who don't
believe there is such a place as Iowa,
and clairvoyants still find customers
and you can name people who will
consult patent medicine "ad' in
preference to a doctor, and old Jethro
Tilford, over in Shelby Township car
rled a dried-up potato to keep off
rheumatism.
In every community you will find a
contrary-minded sediment of the hui
man race-people who keep them
selves somewhat in evidence by noisi-
ly denying facts which are self-evi-
dent to all of their neighbors who
happen to be in full enjoyment Of
sanity
They are somewhat like frogs, i. e.,
they make an awful noise in proper
ton to their number
Now, if you will take the trouble
to check up in your immediate neigh
| borhood the people who, from the be-
ginning of the war, have been full
of doubts and questions and false
| alarms you will find that they are
few in number and of precious little
importance, except as atmospheric
disturbances.
Also, did it ever occur to you:
That the man who had bought
most literally of government bonds
never questioned the safety of his
security.
That the woman who was knitting
I the most socks and sweaters never
believed the silly stories about the
Red Cross being crooked institu-
ton.
That the soldier boy about to board
TRANSPORT and join his comrades in
France and Great Britain never was
known to doubt the sincerity of the
men with whom he was soon to join
shoulders?
No, indeed!
All the walls and misgivings and
fish stories are put into circulation
by few picayune outsiders who
were just built to be obstructionists,
and somehow can't help it.
They are the kind of people who
oppose public improvements, will not
buy tickets for The chautauqda, criti-
else the minister if he smiles in pub
lie, and attach the presumption of
guilt to any woman attacked by scan
dial.
They are the small bores, the two
by-fours, the gnats, the sand-flies,
the ticks put on earth to teach good
the quality of patience.
The time has come to ignore them.
If we can not lock them for safe

BIG JUMP IN PRICES OF
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
Hundred and Ten Per Cent. Increase
Shown in Two Years.

How living costs have jumped in a
year is shown by the vast increase
in the price for farm products in
1917. The increase in price for the
principal farm crops in 1915 was on
ly about four per cent. above the
1914 price. But in 1915 the gain was
AZ per cent. over 1915, and in 1917
it was 43 per cent. over 1916, while
in 1917 the gain over 1915, two
years previous, was ITO per cent.

Do what you have to do first, then do what you
don't have to do. This is the road to advance
ment Be faithful, prompt, willing, and you will
probably get the usual increase in salary Then
do something outside the routine, take RESPONSE
bility, show initiative, and you will get the
usual increase. But, as faithfulness does not
bring great rewards, neither does initiative.
Speed without accuracy has less commercial value
than accuracy without speed.
Initiative in itself is likely to have little value
unless it is backed by judgment.
Mere brilliance is often dangerous. Become
perfect in fundamentals first, and then branch out
from them. Doing what one has to do marks

in the nails, and they are commonly
seen after fractures. These lines
are popularity called ''beau's lines. "

advantage OF having gone to scho u
away from here. He picks out first
one girl and then another and h.
goes with just the one until he
gets her caring very much for him,
and then he drops her and goes
with the next one. Each time he
does this the girls heart is brok-
en- and we think it is too bad that
he is allowed to do it. What shall
we do? II he begins going with
one of us how should we act?

For the present the Only thing
that you can do is to pay no at
tention either to the boy or to his
love affairs. Unless he tries TO
force his attentions on you, you
have no say in the matter at all.

If given the chance, would like 70
have the notoriety of going with
him. But it is best for you not 10
do so. If you can conquer your
jealousy and be brave and strong
when your turn comes. you can
teach all the girls in the neighbor-
hood a lesson. II you refuse his
attentions you will have done your
duty. But you must be firm AMI
not be tempted by his attentions
as the other girls have been. You
have, no doubt. heard the story OF
the moth and the fame. You, too,
must be careful that your wings
are not singed.
