SOLDIERS CHANCES
MUCH IN HIS FAVOR.

Great as the danger and large as the
losses in the aggregate, the individ-
ual soldier has plenty Of chances of
coming out Of the war unscathed, or
at least not badly injured.
Based on the mortality statistics of
the allied armies, a soldiers chances
are as follows:
TWenty-nine chance of coming home
to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance Of dying
from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a limb.
Will live five years longer because
of physical training; is freer from
disease in the army than in civil
life, and has better medical care at
the front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to II from bullets /;
in this wal one man dies from dis
ease to every ten from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who
do not escape scathless, the govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and tG
the families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.

AGE WILL
SOON BE BOOSTED.

Senator A. B. Cummings of Iowa,
said that it was a certainty that with
in two months the draft age would be
raised from 80 to As years to give us
full advantage of our man power. 1t
is estimated that there are at least
a million men between 80 and As years
and probably the same number be-
tween 35 and As who would be used
either for military or industrial ser
vice. The temper of the country
would not admit raising the age limit
further, the senator thinks. Men be-
tween 10 and q will probably not be
included. There is little opposition
to the plan, says Mr.. Cummings.

HEAVENS TO RAIN
BOMBS ON

eff the allies will hold the line on
the western front until September /,
at which time the American army will
be ready to make itself felt, we will
blast our way into Berlin in eight
months, in my Judgment" said Con-
gresham 1. G. Copely, speaking be-
fore the Aurora, H., Kiwanis club.
Congressman Copely told of the
progress with the plans to darken the
sky with ae%roplanes, which are to
flood Germany with bombs. Fifteen
million bombs have been manufac-
tured and many have already been
shipped to France, Ae said. Aero
planes have been built at high speed
and within sixty days America will be
building from 5000 to 10, 1000 a month.
when we begin to sprinkle bombs
from aeroplanes, the kaiser will think
the heavens are raining" the CON
gresham continued.
Congressman Copley said that af-
ter September 1, the next eight
months will be the hardest eight
months Germany ever experienced be-
cause this country will have the best
machine guns and the best Of all
other equipment and men on the field
of action. The aerOplane program is
being carried out successfully.
There have been Mistakes" the
speaker continued. Every individual
makes mistakes. We must win the
war, and fasten the guilt after the job
is completed.
"All make up your minds to the
fact that our boys in France must be
supported. This is not only a war of
conquest, but is aiming at civiliza-
ton and Christianity.
Let us make up our minds to sup
port in every way our leaders whose
motives are honest. Let all resolve
to put their shoulders to the wheel
and keep them there"

mated as an 81 per cent crop, which
is the highest since 1914. Although
the acreage planted to corn in the
state this year is 1880, 900, a seven
per cent-138,0 900 acre-decrease COM
pared to the amount planted last year,
7~3,760,000 bushels are expected. The

323, 900, and last years production
was 42,196, 900.
