WAN rs ANOTHER CRUISE.

The democrats propose that the
assessor count every tree In Clear
water county. Counting trees Is
cruising. So. If the democrats are
again placed In power they are to
cruise the entire county. and that
means that they are to throw the
Nease guess away, after all they
have patted 1t on the back. and
have another cruise. this time q
complete count Of the trees in the
county, the cost of which will not
be less than $250.000.o0. We do
not think this a good proposition,
based ON what we know Of the
Nease- Blake Crow Democratic cruise
that cost the people $4,000. but
II the q rmers want 1t. we'll not
interfere. But we thought being q
sucker once was enough; If the peo-
ple want to repeat the dose. and
have second Nease guess 1t
Is all right with us. Grow is q
farmers friend" and II he tells
you to howl for cruise, why howl
your head off-if you think you
need a, second dose. Possible the
next time the gang could manage to
PUT the deal through, issue the
warrants and pay them out OF the
county funds. And IL that is what
the people want, why shouldn't
they have little thing like two
hundred and fifty thousand dollar
timber cruise to play with?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR BOY

(From the Galesburg Evening Mail) The impression prevails in America that enlistment or conscription in the army means the probable death of the soldier in battle, It has even been stated that an allied officer at the front has only so many days to live; that the life of a man in the trenches is a matter of a limited number of days.
 The impression is false and the statements are lies. AS matter of fact, the death rate in the allied arm les on the western front is only about four times that of men of the same age in civil life--and there are many occupations of peace which are no less
 hazardous than the occupation of making war.
 On the authority of the Equitable Life Insurance Company We have it
 that less than 2l l,0OO out of nearly 5O,-
 900. Canadians who have been sent overseas have been killed. This is only about per ccnt-and many of the
 Canadians have been in action for nearly three years. Perhaps more to the point is the case of the French army whose definitivc casualties in- cluded killed, prisoners, and missing) were reduced to only l.2S per cent in the Inst half of 1916. It is safe to as- sune that the American army will make use of the experiences of the French army and that it's casualties will be no hisher-if, indeed. we are not able to reduce them
 One and twenty eight one hundred ths per cent in six mo1ths is 2.5e per cent in a year. Applying this percent age to Knox county's quota of about 100 mon. it appears that if they serve two full years in France-and nobody believes the war will contisue that lonS-twentH one or twenty-two will be killed or captured. Barring some unusual occurrence the captured men and the other 3S0 will return to their homes, although some of them will be wounded more or less seriously
 Don't worry about your son. your brother, or your sweetheart who is m the army. He may perhaps he killed or hurt, but there are ninety six chances out of a hundrcd that he will come back to you-and in the great majority of cases he will be bet ter physically. mentally and morally for his experience

nons received the announceinehi Of his discovery of 8 new land in the unknown reaches of the Reaufort Sea with greater interest and satisfaction or felt a deeper sorrow at the sad dition early in its career.
 Nome has in one manner or another been closely associated with each step of the explorers progress and it is doubtless safe to say that nowhere in the world will he receive & more heart felt welcome than will be ac- corded him by the people of this city in the event that he again appears in our midst.

PLEASING ANNOUNCEMENT

The announcement that Nihljamur Stefansson, the noted Arctic explorer is alive an may come to Nome at the conclusion of his long and eventful soiourn in the wilds of the Arctic re- zion, will be greeted with satisfac- tion by his numerous friends and ac. quaintances in this city, the majority of whom hardly expected to ever again set eyes on the hardy young Norse- man after he sailed away on that voy- age of discovery which has crowned him with laurcls of enduring fame
 Probably no community in the world has followed the reports rela- tive to the explorers movements and achievements with greater interest than the people of Nome
 Nome took a remarkable interest in the young explorer on the occasion of his visit here in 1914 and few failed to admire his sterling qualities and the remarkable gifts with which he is csduwed. Stefansson is in every essential the type of man that most appeals to the hearts of the people of the North Bold, free and open hearted. and possessing that manly vigor and strength admired of all men it is small wonder that he has been an object of interest even to those who knew him only by repute.
 In addition to this personal admi- ration for the leader, the fact that several Nome men are included in the little company that has shared the trials asd hardships encountered by the explorer in his search for new lands in the unexplored regions of the Polar sea, has caused the people of this city to feel a distinctly personal interest in the expedition. The fact that the Canadian Arctic Expedition was practically outfittcd in Nome has also served to sustain the loacl interest in the movements of the indomitable spirited searcher of the Polar waters
 For this reason Nome has taken q personal pride in the achievements of the explorer and his companions and
