MEN IN TROUBLE

| /. o. Purcell of Okeene, Okla. was
planning to start a new newspaper
and was shut off by the new order OF
war industries board making reduc-
tions in the amount of print paper
consumed, which forbids establish
ing a new newspaper anywhere. He
then bought out small paper, the
Longdale News, thinking he would
take the little old paper and build
1t up and again the war industries
order shut him off, for every pub
lsher Is forbidden to increase the
volume of his business, and must re-
duce the amount of print paper used
taking July consumption as the basis.
Now that Purcell has bought the lit
tie paper he can take his choice be-
tween throwing it away and operat-
ing 1t on the reduced basis for the
period of the war. That is what he
got for going into something he did
not understand, and at time when
experienced publishers were looking
for way to let go.

Editor Trego of the Idaho Republi-
can Of Blackfoot, was planning to
change his paper from semi-weekly
to tri-weekly on the twenty-third
OF September, but the order not to
establish any new papers went into
effect the first of September and
when he applied for a permit to 60
on with his plans it was refused. He
had not gone to any special expense
for the increased service, more than
to train some additional help, and
that was not considered Of sufficient
Importance among previous ar
rangements" to justify letting him
go on with an increased consumption
of print paper at time when orders
were being given to reduce consump-
ton to IS per cent of what had been
used. The tri-weekly will be post
poned until after the war.

His, Best
[By George E. Bowen of The Vigilantes]

by George E. Bowen of The Vigilantes]
Every soldier in camp or under arms across
the sea has done the best he could Have you?
To the soldier, who heard the call of duty and
felt the thrill of sure devotion, there was only
one thing to do. He did it.
The biggest best he could give was his life.
Everything finally came down to that stand
ard-which is the measure of our coming into
the world, and passing out of it.
All else is ncidental-for US to glorify neg
lect, as always we do.
The soldier boy cast away everything but life
itself.
Ambition, PRIDE business, profession, wealth,
fame, family, happiness, love-all these he cast
aside.
Have you? Any of them?
He cared nightly for the promise of life
for the opportunity of youth.
He knew they were true-as he could make
them so.
Yet he chose that sterner course-offering
nothing but sense of duty gladly DONE Have
you?
In way, he's taken your place. Has thrown
his clean, young body and all his beautiful dreams
between you and the destroying horror.
He left fear behind Have you found it?
He never for moment thought you wouldn't
do as much for him and for the world. Have
you?
There comes a time when man finds in his
heart crouching treachery. 1t got in, somehow
1t says: whats the worrying? We can't
all 60 They'll come back"
And it sort of coaxes you to close your eyes
and think: 'Well, they'll be safe enough. It
won't last long. They'll come home covered with
glory"
And all of sudden you lose all sense of per
sonal responsibility and just charge everything
up to fate and let it go at that.
! But he didn't-the boy who went away.
He made responsibility his own-made it his
partner and his faith. Have you?
He might have won the laurels Of great au
thor Or been hailed an artist of world-fame.
Or any kind of great man-adding to thu
worlds progress and happiness.
But he didn't wait. The emergency called
He discounted the future-cancelled everything
but his duty.
i His glory will be in making place for tn
greatness of others Yours, maybe.
He gave all he had. Without waiting, calcu
lation or fear. He did the best he could VIII

Registering the Fighters

On June 5, 1917, 100000 young Americans
registered for military service.
Their action marked momentous occurance
in the United States, for the orderly manner IN
which the registration was carried on demon
strated that the citizens of this nation had con-
secrated their lives and property to the task OF
making the world safe for democracy. For
many decades the prevailing belief had favored
volunteer system of raising armies, but on this
day the stamp of approval was given to univers-
al military service.
Yesterday about 100000 young men who at
tanned majority in the last twelve months were
enrolled No disturbance marred this enroll
ment They also believed that in an hour of
grave national peril, the individual mind must
bow to the collective decision of the nation
They are willing to divert their attention
from the pursuits of peace to the hard work OF
preparing for military service. They subscribe
to the sentiments expressed by Provost Marshal
General Crowder in statement issued yester-
day:
''The nation is engaged in struggle for its
existence. Our activities have been diverted
from the normal peace-t time channels, and the en-
ergy of those who remain at home is being dl.
rected more closely every day, toward the &C.
complishment of the things upon which ou1
armies must depend and without which success
is impossible
Every American must do his duty in this
great crisis, even though he remains at home
Those who are of such an age and condition II
life that they may, without detriment to the
economic support of the army, actively oppose
themselves against our enemy on the European
battlefields are indeed privileged"

Not an Empty Jar in 1918

With the war gardening project we'll under
way in this community, the problem of utilizing
advantageously the products of the land under
cultivation presents itself. Admittedly, it is
both time and labor foolishy spent if the vege-
tables and fruit raised by the gardeners are not
eaten or preserved for consumption this winter.
Last year, various methods of canning were
taught to the housewives. An increased interest
in the canning problem was manifested and hun
dreds of dollars were saved by the foresight of
the housewife who periodically was willing to
give her time and work to the project of canning
enough food for her winters supply.
Many reasons for home canning can be adj
duced The Department of Agriculture presents
this argument:
Your Reasons for Home Canning.
Help feed yourself.
Keep summers valuable surplus of fruits
and vegetables from going to waste.
Provide necessary and valuable food to re-
lieve the heavy winter diet.
Lessen each famys draft on the staple
foods needed for our troops and the allies.
Lessen pressure on railroads and other
transportation by using home-canned local
ly raised products instead Of canned pro-
ducts that must DE Snlpped INTO your TOWN
and delivered to your kitchen.
Make your town and locality as nearly self
feeding as possible
TO
Make available more commercial canned
products for use in the environments and in
the trenches.
Make your supply desirable and patriotic
home occupation for yourself and your girls
and boys.

RheumatiCS
Made Happy
Satisfied That "Neutrone Prescription
SO" Is All That's Claimed

This reliable prescription has, since
being placed in the hands OF the pub
lie, done more to remove Rheumatic
Troubles than all previous remedies
combined.
It is different from other remedies
in that it does not upset the stomach
or impair the heart, a condition here
tofore thought impossible.
It is not cure-all but remedy to
be taken internally treating Rheuma-
tism as a constitutional disease, by its
general action through the blood.
The treatment is a most complete
combination of misunderstanding
elements and is dependable To produce
results from the fact it aims at rheu-
matism as a disease of the blood, SOC
