MEANING OF BILLIONS.
Here's Little Idea of How Much
Money Fourth Liberty Loan
Represents

In the fourth Liberty loan there Is
an enlargement of the simple illus
tration going the rounds of what
$1,000,000,000 means. The business
and general community has not long
accustomed itself to the every day
use of figures in billions. The first
Ibillion dollar corporation that at
tracts attention was the United
States Steel corporation. 1t did not,
however, represent new money rails
ed except in small part. It's capital
ization was effected through ex-
change of securities and free stock.
! But the Liberty loans have repro
lsented cash, and the school child is
now learning to talk in billions,
whereas a generation since a million
appeared rather large.
If at the time Christ was born there
had been begun a deposit of Sc every
minute the total sum to Nov. ], 1913,
would have reached roundly but So
055, 100000. We are raising In
twenty-one days what it would take
more than eighteen centuries to raise
at the rate of Sc minute. Chicago

DEBORAH Girl, Sister of Soldier Killed
In France, Does Patriotic Act

The late Private Evind Hamre, of
DEBORAH, who lost his life in France,
fighting for the Stars and Stripes,
left a $4,000 old line insurance
policy, payable to his sister, Miss
Bertha Hamre, of this city. The
policy was paid last Friday, and Miss
Hamre Immediately invested the
entire amount in Liberty Bonds.
She said that "her brother did his
bit to help win the war, and she too,
wanted to do her bit" 1t was GER
tainly a very patriotic act on the
part of Miss Hamre, who is a young
girl, working her own way here to
live, and she is to be commended
very highly. The policy was carried
in the Royal Mutual Life Insurance
Co., of Des Moines of which A. o..
Elby, of DEBORAH, is the local agent,
The following letter was written
to the agency manager by Secretary
Sidney A. Foster, and we take the
liberty of reproducing it here:
am very glad this heroic young
man had this insurance. 1t is a sad
thing to see the flower of our young
manhood moved on into theunknown
and yet l have the most absolute
faith in the final hearing of those
who have offered themselves in be-
half of the freedom of humanity
and country-that freedom that can
be purchased only by the shedding
of blood and which guarantees to the
future ages a peace and equality
such as could not be known but fol
the defeat of Prussian autocracy and
its allied forces.
I do not know why, but in some
ways l feel differently in the set.
Element of this case from the
thousands / have settled, because
this is like all war cases, call be-
fore ones time and the loss to Iowa
and the world of the activities al
men who have made good in the Sc
curing of protection to humanity.

Influenza Masks.

Forty-five thousand masks of
gauze will be provided for soldiers
in Washington to keep out the germs
of Spanish influenza.
Gas masks in the trenches, infiuen-
"a masks at home. A microscopic
germ crosses the ocean to attack US
something that Prussian battle
ships cannot do.
This mask of gauze teaches peo-
pie who have said, "The germ theory
is nonsense" that science does not
|agree with them.
And the gauze mask takes yol
back to the early experiment of a
scientific Italian, who proved long
before the days of Pasteur that life
comes always from some other life.
No live thing comes into being ex-
|cept from another live thing.
Even in Pasteur's day, when he
was conquering rabies, diseases of
animals and of the vine with his
germ science, the French Academy Of
Science believed that life came
spontaneously Insects were suppos-
ed to be born out of the air without
fathers or mothers, maggots were
supposed to be born in decaying meat
also without fathers or mothers.
Long years before, the Italian
scientist had shown the truth with
a simple experiment. He put meat
in an open vessel. Soon the mag
gots were swarming in the meat.
He put the meat in another vessel,
coverde with gauze. The flies that
had laid their eggs in the first piece
