Every One Is Needed.

With the signing of the armis-
tice there was general Stacking
of the tension which has held the
world in a determined wargrip.
For two reasons this relaxation
must be followed by a renewed
concentration of effort: we are
not yet at peace and, further
more, the conditions brought
about by war cannot be changed
overnight to peace prosperity.
For fonr years, the worlds
chief business has been to detroy.
During this time the Red Cross
has tried to build up, and to re-
store, but the destruction has
gone on at an infinitely more rapid
pace, and it will be years before
a satisfactory restoration is
brought about.
First in War;" the Red Cross
was ready to bind the wounds be-
fore our men saw the front lines.
Before the country entered the
war, the Red Cross heard the call
of humanity and served
First in Peace" " the Red Cross
has found a bigger work than
ever before. To provide shelter
for the homeless, to heal the sick
and to help the returning soldier
find his way back to industry
these are the fields in which thC
Red Cross must continue to labor
It's work now is to remove tn,
scars of a battlewounded world
This is the work for all people
The Red Cross calls TO everyonu

The War Ends.

ton of hostiIities by Bulgaria,
Turkey and Austria, Germany,

the armistice prepared by the
allies and at II A. NJ, French
time &c A.. M. Washington
time) hostilities ceased and the
great, epoch-making world war
ended.
Immediately upon receipt of
the news Of this momentous
event all the world was shaken
by a delirium of joy, the like of
which h as never before been
seen. All day long and all OF
the following n ig hit the air
vibrated and resounded with the
clamor and din of mill ms of
whistles, horns, bells, sirens, tin
cans, clappers, rattles, musical
instruments of all kinds, and a
great variety Of other noise
making devices and with the
shouts, songs, laughter and
chatter of millions of happy peo-
pie who organized thousands OF
impromptu parades, and joined
in a hundred other ways IN the
celebration of this, the first
fourth of July of the world.
The 11th of November Will
doubtless be commemorated
throughout all time as the BIRTH
dav Of world freedom. The
millions of liberty bells which on
that great day sounded forth
the glad song of human free
dom throughout the whole earth
will be handed down from gen.
Grafton to generation as price
less heirloons of the beginning
of the glad reign of peace on
earth for which humanity has
been hoping and praying for
nearly two thousand years.

Watch Your LabSl.

According to the ruling of
the War Industries Board that
went into effect on the first of
October, your newspaper will
stop coming when the time for
which it is paid runs out. This
saves you the unpleasant task of
telling the editor to stop it. Bnt,
if you do wish it to be continued,
send in your renewal before the
time of the expiration, and you
will not miss a copy-perhaps,
the very copy of all that has
something in that you did not
want to miss. The label on
your paper tells to what date
you are paid; and as there are
several subscriptions that will
expire in December, the renewal
should not be put off too long.
If you think the NEWS a good
paper, tell your friends about ii
show them a copy. Perhaps
you are pUzzling your brain tc
decide just what to get your
friend for a Christmas gift. Dc
you think of anything better fol
the money than a years sub
scription? Send Us the money
and we will do the rest.

Senator's and Representatives.

The Senate of the United States
consists of two Senators from
each State in the Union Clarge
and small alike), and as we now
have 48 States, there are 96 men
representing those States in the
Congress.
This incidentally emphasizes
the fact that the States entered
the Union on an absolutely equal
footing, 8s free and Independent
commonwealths, regardless OF
their size or population.
The members of the House, on
the contrary, repesent the people
Of the United States and as the
population of this great country
is forever increasing at q rate
which necessarily differs accord
ing to localities, the number ol
the peoples representatives is
based upon the total of the pop
uIation as reported by the census
every ten years, and the numbei
of representatives to which eaci
district is entitled is very justI,
proportionate to the population o
that district.
The present apportionment i
therefore based on the census o
1910 and this gives US a ratio o
one Representative for every 2ll,
SIT inhabitants, or a total OF as
for the entire country. Accord
ing to the census of 1900 our ra
tio was one Representative Il
every 1914. 1872; in the previous de
cade we had one to every l73, 9Ol

Rye Foe Feed.

In view of the fact that many
localities are badly in need of
feed for hogs and dairy cattle,
the rules restricting the use of
wheat and rye for other than hu-
man consumption have been re-
pealed, and milIers may buy rye
and grind it into feed and sell ii
without restriction, or without
securing permission from the
Food Administration. Any per.
son may now get rye ground into
feed without securing special
permission, no matter whether
the rye is of his own growing OF
purchased from another.

0ur Losses ia Battle.

General Pershing has cabled
the total casualties in France in
a lump sum and it exceeds ex-
pectations, but fortunately most
of them are light, and thousands
of cases were never treated IN
the hospitals. The known dead
in France number more rhan 3D.
900. Including whose who died
in camp in this country, there
must be a total loss of at least
10000. This is a great loss,
but slight compared with what
the other belligerents have suf-
fered, and it must be remember
ed that considerable percen-
tage of those guns would have
died in civil life.
It is possible as yet to estimate
the total number of deaths in all
countries due to the war, but the
commonly quoted figure of ten
millions seems too large. Brit
aims known dead are 65S, 600. to
which must probably be added a
greatnumber recorded as missing,
but who will not return. Ger
many's known dead are |, ,5OO,-
600 not including a large num-
Der of missing. No one knows
the French casualties, but it is
not likely that their dead are less
than a million. Austro- Hun
gary's losses have beer
colossal, but mainly in prison
ers, although an estimate of a
million dead for that nation end
half as many for Italy seems
reasonable. 1t is not possible
even to guess at the losses Of
Russia, but they have beer
probably greater than those o.
any other nation.
Even adding the losses of tn
smaller nations i t can be seel
that ten millions is an eXcessiv
total for the whole. OF course
many have died of starvation o
maltreatment, and in this re
spect the worst may be yet I

ample" to show those innocent peO-
pie what would happen to all if any
attempted to escape. Then All of
these people were driven to the
bridge and on August 7th were tied
onto both sides of it for four days
and nights, while the German army
marched across. To every post men
and women were fastened. They
were tied to the giders and the piers.
For one hundred hours these kindly
people were held there without food
shelter, or relief of any kind.
Here were these people suffering
from hunger, thirst, and filth, who
week before were happily working
their farms, with no more thought of
being interfered with than we have
today. There they shivered by
night and tainted by day. If anyone
complained, he was shot, although
the dead body would not be re-
moved, 1t would be left tied to a
helpless neighbor "as an example of
German efficiency"
Finally on the morning of August
18th, when the last of the German
army had entered Liege, the ropes
were cut and these poor people were
left to struggle home, only to find
their houses burned and their fiocks
stolen.
This is the kind of government
which We are fighting. This is the
kind of treatment that we would get
were the French and English not
standing between US and the Ger
mans. Isn't it up to us to forget
our local differences and quickly CO.

willing to stand the brunt of the
fighting, certainly we ought to be
anxious and glad to maye our out

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Ben

of legislation by which the Treasury
of the United States is $222,74O.5O
better off. More than thirty years
ago the United States advanced that
amount of money on schools and
Jail construction contract in the Dis
trio of Columbia. But In the settle
ment after the work was completed
the advance payment which had been
made by the United States was over
looned. In searching old records
Mr.. Johnson came across the item
