Flu is Bad at Troy.

Word comes from Troy that The
influenza epidemic is very bad there
the he town M and nearby country. It is
said that the people have been lulled
into false sense of security by the
belief that injections of the anti-in-
fluenza serum will make them i'm
mune to the contageon. 1t had been
reported that all Of the soldiers here
were forced to take the serum in
jections and the people Of Troy are
said to have rushed for this pre-
ventative and many have been deeply
disappointed to discover that they
took the disease after having the
treatment to prevent it.

Banks Do Not Help Much

To our disappointment we still find
most of the banks in the state of Idaho
either actively opposed to the War Saw
ings Stamp idea, or simply refusing to
help. This is partly because it is a
new idea and partly because of their
preconceived prejudice or notion that it
would lessen the savings accounts in the
banks. Again let me point out that in
England, where the War Savings idea

AUGIE SOLDIERS

News received here this week is
to the effect that the Augustana
boys, formerly stationed at Camp
Logan, Houston, Texas, have gone
over the top. II was at first ru-
mored that the boys were in Italy,
but word of their safe arrival in
France was recently received. Cap
tain Arthur Swedburg, a graduate
with the class Of 1917 at Angus

pauy, for the most part made up Of
his fellow classmates and school
friends. A younger brother Of Cap
tain Swedburg, Lieutenant Ed Swed-
burg, is reported in line for a pro-
motion 10 the rank Of first lieuten-
ancy. Friends of the Augustana
boys viii be glad to hear that the
lads from the local schools are do
ing their bit to bring victory to the

REHABILITATION or WOUNDED
SOLDIERS.

The United States. government is
resolved to do it's best to restore every
wounded American soldier and sailor
to health, strength and self support
ing activity.
Until his discharge from the hos
pital all the medical and surgical
treatment necessary to restore him to
health is under the Jurisdiction of the
military or naval authorities, accord
ing to the branch of the service he Is
In. The vocational training, the re
education and rehabilitation necessary
to restore him to self-supporting ac-
tivity, is under the jurisdiction OF the
federal board for vocational educa .
ton.
chanical appliance the government
will supply 1t free, will keep it in re .
pair, and renew it when necessary II
after his discharge he again needs
medical treatment on account of his
disability, the government will supply
it free. While he is in the hospital
and while in training afterwards the
soldier or sailor will receive compen-
sation as If in the service and his
family or dependents will receive their
allotment.
A wounded soldier or sailor, al
though his disability does not prevent
him from returning to employment
without training, can take course of
vocational training free of cost ana
the compensation provided by the war
risk insurance act will be paid to him
and the training will be free, but no
allotment will be paid to his family.
Every Liberty bond holder who holds
his bond is keeping up a part of this
great work of restoring to health,
strength, and usefulness the men who
have suffered for their country.

DANIELS WOULD oIscREoiT
LOYAL AMERICANS.

Secretary OF the Navy Daniels Is
undertaking to put into effect In MS
denartment what amounts to indus
trial conscription. He has issued d
circular forbidding designations from
the navy department on pain OF nav
ing the stigma "unpatriotic" placed
against the employees record. Speci-
fc instances have already occurred
where employees have resigned to &C
cept better positions, and have receiv-
cd a letter from Mr.. Daniels saying
that "a notation has been made OF
your unpatriotic action for future
reference" OF course there is no au-
thority in law for the secretary's ac-
ton, and it is likely that the inJur-
ed employe could hold him liable for
damages. The National Federation OF
Federal Employees has taken the mat
ter ND and filed protest with Mr..
Daniels. They call his attention to
the fact that although industrial con-
scriistion was rejected by congress
here is an attempt to impose it by an
administrative officer.

DEMAND FOR COPPER.
(Anaconda Standard)

According to the judgment of men
well posted In the matter, the demand
for copper will continue after the war
and there need be no apprehension In
this community Of a stacking in the
operations connected with our one
great industry. Vast quantities OF
copper will be needed for industry and
for rebuilding what has been destroy
ed In the war. For months the allied
governments have been taking for
war purposes about all the copper that
could be produced and industry has
had to wait. Many enterprises that
have been projected in this country
will go ahead as soon as they are as
sured of the supplies of copper they
need. Great quantities Of copper will
be called for In Europe.
SO the return Of peace Is not like
ly to affect the copper industry in this
section Of the countryS. We were call
ed upon to produce as much as posi-
bic for war purposes and capacity
production will also be needed In
peace times. so far as may be judged
at this time.

THE TORCH OF LIBERTY LIGHTS
THE WORLD.

The conception of the French people
of the influence of the United States
among the nations of the earth, az
conveyed in the commanding symbol
ic figure of Liberty Enlightening the
World, which stands at the entrance
of New York harbor, has now become
a reality. The entrance of the United
States into the great war sounded the
doom of the detestible dogma Of ,he
divine right Of kings, and the close of
the great world war tragedy was

crowns to escape the wrath of peoples
long oppressed as they caught the
first CLEANS of the Torch of Liberty.
What the United States did and SUI
fered in actual combat is small COM
pared with the prolonged heroic rec
ords of France, Great Britain and
Belgium, but she turned the tide of
battle when victory hung in the bal
ance and made possible the great tri-
umph of right over the rule of might
For hundred years America has
been the star of hope for the oppress-
ed and down trodden people Of the
earth, reckoning them to come and
share in the rights and privileges of
free government in which all men are
equal. But all this was changed when
America entered the war. The flag
of freedom was carried across the sea,
not for conquest, not for indemnity,
not for the spoils of war. 1t was car

emblem of American rights ana our

promoter knows as much about
mining and maybe more than he
does, and that the successful pro-
moter can pick the cream OF min
ing prospects for his effort.
We have noticed In our expert
ence covering many years that the
average mining man seeking funds
for the development of prospect
property often leaves too much
to the other fellow. He underes-
Inmates his own ability and over
estimates the ability of the pro-
fessional money raiser. The OPP
orator has the same facilities for
raising funds as has the promot-
er. He can advertise and circul-
arize just as effectively as the
promoter, and when 1t comes to
personal solicitation the average
mining man who knows his prop
osition will get better attention
and results than any salesman
that could be secured. The pros
pective stock buyer wants cold
facts and figures upon which to
base his judgment, and as a usual
thing cares nothing about any
literary effort that may be prac-
tced upon him. Let the mine op-
orator seeking funds decide that
II he wants something done to do
1t himself. He should forget the
established promoter, who Is prob
ably already overworked, and he
should take off his coat and raise
the funds he needs without the
help of the other fellow"
