This gives a total Of 1892 Red
Cross nurses in active service.
1t is estimated that 10000 of
the $4,000 trained nurses of the
country will be needed by the
end of next year.
The grey-clad army nurse is the
best symbol of the work of the
Red Cross. But the society has
shown people other ways of do
ing their bit besides nursing.
American women are making,
in Red Cross work rooms and in
their homes, surgical dressings,
knit goods, hospital garments,
and comfort kits. to an estimated
value for the year of $36, 100000.
The surgical dressings go to
every ship i'm the Navy, and to
1000 war hospitals behind the
lines in France. The Red Cross
has promised to ship to France
100000 dressings a month for
the next six months.
More than $5,OOO,OOO worth of
yarn has been purchased or Or
dered for the Red Cross, to be
knitted into sweaters and muf-
flers.
This great volume of volunteer
production in America supports
huge distributing establishment
in France.
Four hundred men in the trans
portatlon department there are
handling $50 tons Of supplies a
day. A warehouse personnel of
125 operates a storage capacity
of 100000 tons. More than 400
motor cars, most Of them heavy
trucks, are in service.
Not far from one hundred Red
Cross canteens and rest stations
have been established at the front,
in Paris, and at important rail
way centers.
Over 10000 French children
are being cared for by the
society. At Evian, near the
Swiss border, is a great Ameri-
can hospital for children that are
being repatriated from points be-
hind the German lines.
Five large military hospitals,
a great tuberculosis hospital near
Paris, and twenty civilian dis.
pensaries i'm the American Army
zone are being operated.
Fifty base hospitals have been
organized in America by the Red
Cross. More than dozen OF

The term of County Commits.
sloner Grant McMahan of this
district will expire this year.
Already the Duluth papers are
making states for the probable
filling of the position. The peo-
pie OF this district have a cand1-
date for the place and that can
'dldate is named U. S. G.. McMa-
han. We in the Fourth district
are perfectly well satisfied with
Mr.. McMahan's conduct of the
office and as long as we are sat
lStied we cannot see why the
other districts should bother
themselves about our commits
sioner. We would advise them
to see that they elect men in their
own districts of the capability OF
Grant McMahan-providing they
can do so. We in this district
may be little vain but we do
say, and say it out loud, that
Grant McMahan is the best road
building and general commits
sioner in the county. No untried
candidates need apply. We will
60 further and make the asser-
ton that McMahan gets more re-
suits from the money appor-
toned him than any man in the
county.

THE sudden death of Bishop
McGolrick in Duluth Wednesday
comes as a shock to his many
friends in all parts of the state and
nation. In his death, Duluth loses
one of its best and most progressive
citizens. He has been in Duluth
for the past % years and has been
so years in the service of the
church. He was Is years of age.
Bishop McGolrick was we'll known
in this city where he leaves many

There should be absolutely 70
questioning the man to fill the ex-

and to which Judge Edward
Freeman was appointed. He
should be reelected and that with

the respect of all with whom he
comes in contact. Judge Free
man is the man for the place he
has so acceptably filled since his

THIS paper will not go into the
dumps providing Senator Knute
Nelson refuses to again become a
candidate for the position he has so
acceptably filled. While we believe
the present is not exactly the time
for able statesmen to get out from
under, it is up to the Senator to
state his preferences. Minnesota
is not a one or two man state and
we have many able men who would
acceptably fill the senatorial niche
vacated by Senator Nelson. One
of the states most able men is
Congressman G. B. Miller of this
district. He would make as good
a senator as he has congressman
and as a congressman he has been
one of the best in the country and
of considerable more importance
than any of Minnesota repre-
sentatives in Washington.

THE best cure for pronounced
cases of disloyalty during these
strenuous war times when we are
asked to do our utmost in the aid
of the government, is the firing
squad. This cure is very effective
and those treated usually stay
cured. 1t not only has a very
quoting effect on those to. whom
the treatment is applied but it also
has tendency to keep others from
catching the disease. What do you
suppose would happen to an Ameri-
can in Germany just about now?

Be sure and cast your ballot
next Monday in the bond election.
Also be sure and cast your ballot
in favor of the issue. That the
issue of bonds is an imperative
matter and should be uppermosF
in the minds Of the voters is
fact supported by many excellent
reasons.
Some have come forth with the
statement that the proposed issue
of 100000 is in addition to the
$1SO,OOO of bonds voted at the
election in December. Whoever
makes this statement is doing so
maliciously and with premedl-
tated intent, either to help the
German cause in the war; for the
purpose of hectoring the city adj
ministration or because the cir
culators of the statement are OF
the anti-progressive element who
use the city as an easy place to
get their money and living and
are opposed to everything that
may be for the upbuilding of the
community and it's people.
The vote next Monday means
Just what it says, and nothing
more, in the line of getting
money. The bonds are for re-
funding 100000 of floating III
debtedness of the city; money al
ready spent and upon which the
city is now paying six per cent
interest. Should the State OF
Minnesota accept the bonds, after
they are voted, at four per cent
the city would be saving two per
cent on the issue, besides being
enabled to complete the improve
ments already begun and which
are of the utmost necessity.
The $1S0,0O0 issue was author
lied at the December election by
the voters after due considera-
ton had been given the matter
by the city council and the mat
ter had been put up to the voters.
An effort was made to float the
issue but it could not be done al
the five per cent allowed by the
city charter. 1t was also dis
covered that the figures had been
placed a few thousand too hign
on our assessable valuation and it
was deemed necessary by the
council to do the voting over
again.
AS bonding companies were
not very keen on taking the
bonds at less than six per cent
besides a fair bonus, a committee
was sent to st. Paul to confer
with the state officials in regard
to getting the money from the
state. Some hopes were held out
by the state officials providing
the figures were cut down mat
ter of $4,000 and another cleo
ton held. When we say that the
state officials held out hopes, we
have said everything. Such a
demand has been made on the
state for money for bonds that
the officials could not promise

patriotic duty to use more pota-

months and to use them regu-

RED CROSS WORK


The Red Cross begins it's work
for 1913 with a huge roll of new
members. Appropriations al
ready made have used up nearly
half of the one hundred million
dollar War Fund subscribed last
summer. A drive for a second
fund will have to be made this
spring.
Sixteen thousand graduate
nurses are enrolled with the Red
Cross.
Already 1,671 Of these nurses
are in France. 2,178 more are at
work in the environments and sta
tions over here. Those selected
and organized for service with the
military forces, but not yet mobi-

them have already been sent to
France. Each unit was planned
to take care Of 500 beds, but sew
eral of those in service have been
increased to twice or four times
the unit size.
Forty-five ambulance compan-
les, total of $3.50 men, have
been raised by Red Cross chap
tiers and mustered into the Army
Medical Service.
The year 1918 starts off under
the darkest war cloud that has
ever overhung the land. But
never was a war cloud provided
with more respondent lining
of silver than the American Red
Cross Society-the entire nation
modified for charity-is setting
against the darkness of the
present hour.

All the blood, all the heroism,
all the munitions and all the
money in the world will not win
this war unless our soldiers, our

fed, this terrible sacrifice of
blood and money will be in vain,
and the cause of Democracy will
be defeated unless every person

the nations supply of wheat,
beef, pork, fats and sugar. Are

sumers is necessary if an SO,000,-

wasted. The price is high-the
consumption low. Unless there is

S. o. s. GIVES ALARM
 OF NIGHT ATTACK
(Leslie's WeekIy)

The mind of the sentry is lost in thoughts of home and love. Suddenly, without any warning. the profound peace of the night is broken. There is a muffled rumbling, followed by a rev erberating roar, and where a moment before there was a peaceful trench, a ghastly crater now yawns out of which come fire and smoke and the groans of dying men.
 The enemy has sprung a mine, the most deadly and insidious form of at tack in modern warfare There is a wide gap in our defense. The men on the right and left Hanks of the crater are dazed from the concussion. In a moment the foe will be at hand with bombs and bayonets to occupy the crater.
 An officer whose nerves have been so shattered by the shock that his whole frame shakes, fires a rocket with trembling and uncertain hand. Far up through the night scars a long trail of blue and crimson light. Down the trench some one has sent another This is the s o S signal, the cry for help from the front line to the guns in the rear. Behind at each battery are the o $ sentries, straining their eyes through the darkness, waiting for this signal.
 The appearance of this rocket is for them as the stroke of the alarm for the firemen. A moment before all of the battery were sleeping soundly; on ly the march of the sentry was heard Now voice cries-''S o Si Battery

LARGE PIPE LINE.
 JOb IN GLENDALE
 NEARLY FINISHED

When it comes to sewer construc- tion, Claude Fisher has already proven his ability. Within the next few days a contract begun by him four months ago, calling for the con struction of a septic tank on the New River and sthe laying of eight miles of fifteen finch pipe from and around Glendale to the tank, will be completed. A job involving the ex- penditure of $50,000 and presenting many difficulties, will be in readiness to turn over to the municipality in about one week.
 It was while Fisher was complet- ing a government contract at San Antonio, that he secured the Glen dale job. At San Antonio, where five other contractors were engaged in the same class of work as Fisher
 the Phoenix man succeeded in forg- and laying pipe in fifty per cent better time than his associates. His equipment was of no better class than the others but he found ways and means of cutting corners and expediting work. z
 And now with the Glendale corl- tract about out of the way, Fisher finds that he will not be idle, for only a day or two ago he received the award for s90,e0o sewer construction jot at Las Vegas, N M. Work upon
 this new contract is to begin May
 which will give him just about time
 enough to move his equipnient into the adjoining state.
 Since he began the digging of the
 long ditch from New River to Glen dale, Fisher found that his single ditching machine was not adequate to reach to the depths to which il was necessary to lay the pipe as the ditch approached Glendale. There were places where a depth of more than sixteen feet was necessary. Ac- cordingly he purchased a ditch dig ging machine, which not only permit ted going to the depth required, bu1 was also arranged to cut to a widtf of 43 inches if necessary. This new machine has been in service less thar
 one week, but it has already proveI its full worth. It will be this new machine, augmented by the old, witt
 which the ditch digging work at La, Vegas will be carried out by Fisher When the sewer, is finally com pleted and turned over to Glendale | it will provide an outfall for all tn, l sewage of that town and for tht | big creamery at the edge of town
 It will be one of the most modern | both in the line carrying the sewage | and in the construction of the septic tank, of any in the southwest.
