THE COST OF WAR.

Rough estimates have been made of , the cost of war to date. It has gone into an appalling number of billions. The war debts of the nations are cas- fly computed. It can be approximate ly determined how much damage to cities and agricultural property has been done along the shifting battle fronts. The value of all the ships sunk and the railroad property de- stroyed can be fairly closely arrived at. The ammunition that has been used, the guns destroyed, the supplies that have been cosumed and the other wear and tear of war may perhaps be included in the item of war debts. To all this is to be added the money spent in Red Cross and similar work, the voluntary contribution of individuals. But there is one other item of the cost of the war, the biggest one of all, much more troublesome-the value of the lives lost.
 But an estimate, and a scientific estimate, has been placed on that. Actuaries long ago had attempted to fix the money value of men. The fig ures are somewhat, though, only slightly variable. A man in this coun- try was said to be worth S4,1SO; in Great Britain he was held to be worth a little more; in France, about S4 1000; in Germany a little less than $4,000; in Russia, still less. About S,OO0,000 men have been killed in actual war fare so that in this item alone there is loss in excess of $30,000,0 ,000 ,000.
 Then there is the money loss in wounded and the incalculable loss in the impeded birth rate. The shortage of agricultural and industrial produc- tion adds some billions to the total, so that it is fairly safe to say that the war has already cost something be- yond $1O0,000, 100000 in actual, com putable wealth.--Exchange.

Judge Decides That Kaiser" Is Foul
 Language. |.

Hereafter in Clifton when people use the word "kaiser" in conversation they will be using profane and abusive language and will be subject to the penalties of the law against using such language in public.
 This decision came up as the result of case brought into justice court this week wherein two women accused each other of using vile and abusive language against the peace and dig nity of the state of Arizona. The women had been having an argument in which they had exchanged a num- Der of epithets but none of the pro- fane nature until finally one woman desiring to call an extra bad name but without using nasty language called the other Kaiser" for which she was promptly put under arrest on complaint of her adversary. Judge Address decided the word was foul, profane and abusive language, but let the woman go under suspended sen- tence.-Clifton Mining Journal.

Uniforms or badges for home serv- ice workers were tabooed by the American Red Cross directors of ci- william relief who recently met in con ference at Washington. It was their unanimous opinion that the real pur- pose and strength of their accomplish ment lies in maintaing a civilian status and rendering service without public notice or advertisement.
 The American Red Cross has con- tributed a quarter of million doI.ars to the Commission on Training Camp Activities. This branch of war serv- ice furnishes recreation and amuse- ment to men in cantonments. ..eeping them fit mentally as we'll as physi- cally ..

PLEASE GIVE IIs oTR DIE.

PLEASE GIVE US OUR DUE. We give you our service, you shut off our beer, But the stacker can drink until it runs from his ear. We quit good job to keep you from harm, And the stacker goes with a girl on each arm. And he laughs at the soldier-poor unlucky cuss-- Girls go with slackers, why criticise us? The stacker rides around on a Ford of his own, And charges dollar to take us to town. We're doing our duty-his liver is white; Yet We leave the street at ten every night, While he sticks around as long as he cares, And he laughs at the soldier whenever he dares. Discipline, we know, is thing that must be; But, honest to goodness, we fail to see, If the soldier drinks nothing but water and "pop," Why the drinks of stacker can't also be stopped. If the stacker can dance, it seems rather hard That at all decent dances the uniform is barred. We've shouldered our rifles and taken our places, And we'll go to death with a smile on our faces; But this is our honest appeal to you: Until we cross over: PLEASE GIVE OUS OUR DUE."

Everybody has heard the slang of the short-order restaurant, and every waiter has few phrases on which he brides himself.
 The greatest artist in this line is said to work behind the counter in a restaurant in a Pennsylvania city. Ac- cording to reports, he has never failed in translating an order into Ian guage of his own, and he and the cook understand each other absolutely.

He Wasn't a Stacker.

Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota told this story at dinner party as an illustration of the old saying that ap- pearances are sometimes deceiving One afternoon woman was walking through a suburban village when she noticed a small boy leaning on a gate in front of one of the residences. The boys attitude did not betray any great amount of ambition. ''I am sur prised to see you standing here, my little man." said the woman, kindly. "Why do you idle away your time on such a beautiful afternoon?"
 "I am not idling," defensively de- clared the boy. q am working for a Thrift Stamp"
 Working for a Thrift Stamp?" wonderingly responded the woman, who couldn't see any signs of labor.
 "Yes, ma'am," returned the boy, "Mr. Smith is sitting on the veranda with sister, and he told me that he would give me the price of stamp if would watch for father"

ONE THOUSAND NURSES A
 WEEK.

Surgeon General Gorgas' appeal to the Red Cross for at least one thous- and nurses week for service in the Army Nurse Corps, emphasizes a pressing situation.
 Casualties among the American troops on the western front are in creasing in proportion to the intensi- fled fighting. Those inspiring, yet saddening rolls of honor are growing larger every day. The glory of the American arms, which hourly fires the souls of our people, must not lack the reward of proper care for those who fall in battle. While the response on the part of the nurses of America to the appeals already made reflects the highest patriotism and a fine spirit nurses must be secured to meet the conditions that now are forced upon us.
 The time for more and greater sac rifices is at hand. Unless the enroll- ment of nurses continues there will not be enough to serve our wounded soldiers in France. Certainly nothing more than to state the necessity ought to be required to supply all the nurses that the government needs. The same patriotism that animates our fighting legions dwell in the hearts and souls of American womanhood. To under stand the call should be to heed it.
 Every Red Cross chapter should re- solve immediately to supply more than it's quota for this grand service.
 A pull together will bring the re- suits desired in short order.

Origin of "News."

Early newspapers modestly claimed that they published important hap. penings in all quarters of the earth and to prove it printed on the first page of each issues a cross with the letters N. E. S.. and w. at it's points to indicate the four directions of tho compass. ...r.. ..
 A day came, however, when some busy editor, pressed for time, left out diagram, and printed the letters in g straight light on this outside page N. E. w. s. The next step made then into the single "news." A consider, able number of North American! spend their days and nights seeking news and preparing it for a critica public. Almost one-half the newspa pers of the world are published in tn, United States and Canada.
