It is suggested that Congress take a rest for several
days beginning April 6 and its members go home and help
boost the sale of Liberty bonds. The suggestion is a
good one, for the effort of half a thousand national
leaders should go far toward awaking thesuggards as to
their duty, and the rest from congressional disputes dur
inc that period would also prove beneficial.

Interesting News from the Front from Sergeant Gib- son and News About
 Major Berger.
WAS UNDER FIRE SOME:
He and the Major fried to Take a Boche Machine Gun Nest with Their
 Pistols.

The following letter, recently re ceived in Juneau from First Serg cant F. l.. Gibson, tells something of what he and Major Fred V. Berger are doing in France:
 "I am now with Major Berger and it's the best location I have been in since joining the army. After spend ing so many months of hard labor in the s. o. s. of France, it was with the greatest pleasure that I de parted for duty one night within range of the guns.
 Have been up here two months now and have been continually on the go. Haven't missed a respect able scrap since coming up here, and many a time have been up with the Major when things were going good and our positions were mighty hot, but so far have reported back with out leaking hide.
 "This business of war as it Is played over here is the most inter- esting thing I have ever seen or ever hope to see.
 Today I was up on the line where the big ones were breaking and came home with Beaucoupe, Boche hel- nets, and other souvenirs.
 Was up in the St. Mihiel sector when that salient was strengthened out and it was done in record time by our men entirely. I didn't miss a minute of that fight and was all over the field.
 Mot long ago the Major and l tried to take a Roche machine gun nest without pistols. We didn't make it, however, as they were too strong for us, but we did get within thirty feet of them and nearly got killed also-great days of indoor sport.
 "The Major is an old soldier and knows the game, so I follow him around like lamb and take what ever comes.
 Just got back the first of the week from a trip to Paris, and head quarters, s. O. s. Had a real nice visit with old friends in Paris, That town is in a class by itself. There is only one Paris, and it is the dream of every doughboy to visit Paris some day or another Fortunately, I have been there three times and expect to see it again before departing to the states.
 "We had letter from old 'Unk' few days ago. He is on his way over and you can believe that we are just seeing him.

It is timely It fits in, too, with Thanksgiving thoughts-thanksgi for all mercies, providences, and blessings we have received during the past; for deliveries from all dan gers, temptations, sufferings; for freedom from disaster, loss, pain Gin dividual and lationaD; for peace, prosperity and wealth.
 But this at once raises the ques- tion: How about those who have not been so delivered or blessed And how can we properly give thanks for escaping? Are we Gods favorites? The old heather idea that good luck" means one is right. eous, and bad luck" is Gods pun. ishment, was exploded by the book of Job, and by Jesus.
 The only thing that can save our thanksgiving from being selfish. and from implying favoritism on Gods part, is the double truth that CD whatever good God permits c'bane or "blessing"). THAT is the way appointed for us to glorify God and (2) every instance of Gods prov idence is but a fresh responsibility laid upon us.
 That is the providential saving of us from harm. trouble, or sorrow means that we have incurred fresh responsibility to consecrate and use the life and opportunities given us for service to God and our fellow man.
 Those who are spared Gin any way) are obligated afresh to use their faculties and powers and gifts for the worlds benefit.
 We caf give thanks for blessings only if we accept responsibility for using them alright. We can rejoice in our "good fortune" rightly only if expecting to share our joy. We can congratulate ourselves only fol others sakes as well as our own.
 Otherwise we make God . German tribal god, favoring us at the ex pense of others.
 And for those who seems accoroano

to the worlds ideas, to have little to be thankful fOr-who have not escaped sorrow, suffering or loss they, too, may yet give thanks that they can in faith triumph over all, that the spirit is superior to the flesh, that evil is powerless to hurt the soul that is stayed on God.
 With God. prosperity" or "adver sity" are not two opposite ways of His dealing with man. He does not Send prosperity" to some because they deserve it and "adversity" to others because they deserve it (tho there is moral law of retribution as exemplified in the case of Ger many but we are not speaking of that now). God permits each, with the same end in view With some, the first is expected to do it's work; with others, the second. And in Germany's case, she may be thank full. too.
 But both are to test and to furnish the material for glorifying God and for serving mankind.
 Who knows but that God, in His mercy, sends prosperity" to some (to arouse their gratitude and serv- ice) because He knows they could not stand diversity! And permits diversity to others either because they could not stand prosperity" or else to show the world what those who trust in Him can do? Thus, their faithfulness is a res possibility on us; their martyrdom & call to us.
 And they, too, may give thanks that they are accounted worthy to suffer-a compliment to them A world-peace is as solemn a thing as world-war. What we shall do with peace is as great a respon- sibility as war. We have been saved only to save and serve others. We have made the world safe for dem ocracy; now make democracy safe for the world.

Dear Mary:
 This is merely to let you know that I am still alive. Juneau is still quarantined on account of the Span ish influenza epidemic and nothing has happened. If, perchance, any thing had happened, it wouldn't be fair to tell, because it would be against regulations. Half the town has the flu and the other half is afraid it will get it, so things are at a standstill. Here's hoping I will have something to say when the next boat goes South. Always,

Information has been received that the 80
20 Rule requiring one pound of substitutes
to be sold with each four pounds of wheat
flour has been abandoned. This means that
wheat -four may now be sold by retailers
without any substitute whatever
While the Food Administration is doing
everything they can to conserve food and at the
same time making the rules as easy for the peo-
pie OF the United States as possible, it is still
necessary to conserve food in order to perfect
and enlarge arrangements for foodstuffs to the
population in Belgium and France now being
released
These populations have been supported for
the last four years by the Commission for Re
lief in Belgium under Mr.. Hoover's chairman
ship but owing to the difficulties Of transport
alton and distribution, Of finance and fear of
German seizure, the amount Of foodstuffs fur
nlshed has been the very minimum on which
human life could be maintained.
AS the first measure Of assistance to Belgium
it is necessary to increase Immediately the vol
ume Of foodstuffs formerly supplied so as to
physically rehabilitate this under-nourished
population, which also includes southern Eu-
rope-the Czecho-Slavaks, the Jugo-Slavs, the
Serbians, Roumanians and Others An adequate
food supply will assist the governments set up
to maintain order and cohesion in government
and to prevent the complete debacle such as has
taken place in Russia. Therefore it is neces-
sary that all public eating places and families
in the United States should cooperate with the
government and study it's budget and food ways
to see if it can not buy less, serve less, return
nothing to the kitchen and practice the gospel
Of the clean plate.

IMPROVEMENTS ALONG LINE OF
CHICAGO, NORTH SHORE AND
MILWAUKEE, RAILROAD

The following new safety devices have been
and are being installed at various crossings of
the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Rail
road in Zion City, thus rendering traffic far
safer for our people and farmers driving into
town:
At the Eighteenth street, Twenty sixth street,
and Thirty third street crossings, auto flags, or
''wig wags'' are being installed; also at the
Diagonal Each auto flag costs 800 installed
and requires a mile of wire.
The crossing at the Diagonal also is being
widened, the embellishments are being cut down
and grading done
At Twenty third street the crossing is being
filled in.
At Twenty-seventh street, lights already have
been installed, embellishments cut down, and the
platforms and crossing filled in.
Also, at Twenty ninth street, the crossing has
been widened, the embellishments removed, the
west approach raised and the station platform
filled in with crushed stone and dressing
At Thirty first street, bell has been in
stalled the embankments cut down and grading
done.
After two conferences and some correspond
ence with the management Of the electric rail-
road, these improvements were secured by the
City Council through the efforts Of the Commit
tee on Railroads.
Prior to July l, when the city council went
into this matter there was only an old-style bell
at the Twenty first and Thirty third street cross
ings and nothing but obsolete wooden signs at
the other crossings.

LAKE COUNTY GRAIN RETURNS
FOR 1918

Some very interesting figures have been Sc
cured from reports sent in to Food Admins
TRAITOR, G. G. Gridley, by So of the SO thresher-
men Of Lake County. Last summer, the gov
eminent asked all machine operators to keep
record Of all crops threshold so that exact data
relative to our food supplies would be available
for immediate use in helping to win the war.
Local threshing machine operators have cooper
ated in every way possible with the threshing
committee both in grain saving and in reporting
desired information.
The results of survey made last spring by the
Farm Bureau indicated that at least 10000 acres
would be seeded to wheat in Lake County.
Threshing reports show acreage threshed Of
over $500 and total yield of over 100000
bushels Compared with the estimated acreage
and yield Of 1917 we have an increase of over
400 per cent in acreage and over 500 per cent
in the total yield. This year, wheat has aver
aged 27.2 bushels per acre or approximately as
estimated earlier in the season by the Farm Adj
wiser Lake County farmers more than met the
demands for an increased wheat acreage last
spring.
The returns from barley and oats were very
satisfactory; 26,57O acres Of oats averaged 534
bushels per acre, and II O60 acres Of barley aver
aged 1873 bushels per acre.
At prevailing market prices the above aver
age yields would give an average return of
poo4o Tor WneaC So4.il Tor OaIS, ana So4.Jl
for barley
With the price of wheat for 1919 already set
at 1926 per bushel, combined with shortage
of labor and further reductions in our dairy
herds, we have every assurance from local far
mers that our minimum quota Of Il, 1872 acres
Of wheat next year will be surpassed, when such
returns as the above are possible.
Out Of a total of 1923 farms reported, 86.1
per cent grew more or less wheat in addition
to other grain crops 116 or 81 per cent
of the number grew no wheat, while 80 or
So per cent raised enough wheat for home con-
sumption but grew no other small grain.
Marquis and Blue Ribbon wheat are being
saved for seed all over Lake County and unless
something unforeseen prevents, field Of wheat
on every farm will be factor in maintaining
our food production program.
Even though the war is over, the Farm Bur
eau urges every loyal Lake County farmer to
continue to do his best for few years more
until the hungry nations of Europe are able to
supply their own needs. The future market
for abundant food supplies is assured.
