A GIRLS MESSAGE FROM THE FRONT.

Ruth Harl is girl driving an ambul-
aance in the French armee d. orient
She has been driving that ambulance two
years and half along the gulches of
Albania, Serbia and Macedonia, most
Of the time. She has been in France
and Greece but; she prefers her work
"out here" just a woman tooling an
ambulance with it's terrible load one
day after another and one year after
another. She likes her work on the
front line best because it comes closer
tV the greater human need. In her
private letter to a friend she relates
her experiences under shell fire, etc.
And here is the meat of her message
sent home to the people 800 miles
away from war;:
You ask how You folks at home can
help most, The best thing you can do,
is to help with the food conservation
Do all You can Chose words are un-
derscored in the letter. to eliminate
waste. Then never say a wordt lessen
the morale of the people. Make every
one realize that we have to fight this to
a finish. a victorious finish. But it will
take the united strength of Your people
to accomplish it. Help awaken the
spirit of 1875. Perhaps that doesn't
sound like much but those two things
mean the difference between victory
and defeat"
That's the letter of a girl red handed
in her work of mercy. girl whose task
Is on the front line, who has faced
shell fire while we complained of petty
annoyances at home. Her spirit rises
higher as the iong months pass in
struggle. And her message is save food
and fight.
This is a woman to women. A woman
In the field and on the front line to the
great reserve of her sisters upon whom
SO greatly the success OF our arms de-
ponds; the women on the front lines
of conservation as she is on the front
line OF battle. The women who must
feed tho lighting men whose wounds
she binds on the firing line.
What's the answer Of the American
housewife to the girl ambulance driver
IN the eastern army OF France?

BnIeHrER BUSINESS pRospEc1s.

The whole commercial and financial

uncertainties and inconvenience, Is

been expected, In view OF the revolu-
tionary changes encountered. and the
various economic problems and OBJ
stacles of the period are being over

With the energies of the government
and private interests centering chiefly
in the maintenance Of the highest pos
sible rate of production, there is great
activity at many industrial establish
ments and outputs in some instances
have attained such proportions that
they cannot be utilized as fast as de-
livered. Yet full capacity operations
are in most cases rendered impractic-
able by the shortage Of labor or by the
difficulty of obtaining adequate sup
plies Of raw materials. and rising tenn
peratures in the East have been less
conducive TO vigorous prosecution of
manufacturing.
While distribution of summer mer-
chandise has been stimulated by the
more seasonable weather. the scarcity
of goods tends to limit the volume of
retail trading and prices of some COM
modities, altho relatively low in COM

wages advances have augmented the
purchasing ability of thousands Of
workers, there is a well defined move
ment toward economy and retrench-
ment turnout the country. and the pros
pective offering Of the fourth war loan
in the fall will provide another oppor-
tunity for profitable investment of saw
ings.

BUILDING BRIDGES UPON SANDS,

me Boone News-Republican has
been having some sport at tals expense
Of the state highway commission be-
cause two concrete bridges were
washed out on the Lincoln highway In
the June floods when 1t had been pro-
claimed that concrete bridges would
last 80 long that no reasonable issue
of county bonds could possibly outlive
them.
Upon reference to the Office Of the
state highway commission it is learned
that both Of these bridges were erected.
before the days OF expert supervision
OF bridges in this state, one was a
patented structure of the Luten de-
sign and both went out because they
were too small for the stream they
spanned and neither one had adequate
footings.
In 1.-THE. olden days contractors cold
pictures Of bridges and usually the low
bidder won because retired farmers on
county boards not being technically
trained could not know whether q
bridge WAS being constructed correct
" or not In every severe food few
of those bridges go out. The con-
tractors, in order to get by with low
bids and still sell a bridge bqih all Of
their construction above ground where
it could be seen and then made their
bridges as short as possible so as to
reduce the cost.
Under the present plan Of expert
supervision by the state. the water
shed drained by stream is measured
so as to determine the high water
mark in floods and the maximum flow
Of water at the bridge. Then the
bridge is made long enough and piling
is put down deep enough to Withstand
foods.
Concrete bridges in the east are
good today when over 100 years old,
bridges of masonry, built by the
ness after 1000 years Of service. It
still holds good that bridge of con-
crete properly CONSTRUCTED is good for
100 years Of service or more and when
that is true where is the equity in ask
ing the tax payers of one year to pay
the full cost of a bridge that is going
to serve other tax payers for at least
fifty years? Why not amortize it? Let
some bond buyer loan it to the public
at per cent interest and let the pub
dc pay for it on the installment plan
by retiring a few Of the bonds each
year. It would be no more ridiculous to
try to pay for this war out Of one
years taxes and levy all these liberty
bond billions in taxas instead of de-
hvering bond PROMISES to pay some OF
It back out Of the taxes which others
must pay in the future.

What lis probably some of the largest
oats ever grown in the county have been
on exhibition in the Republican Of
lice window since Saturday. It Is
the Great Northwest variety and grown
by Henry Barth of Hesper Last year
John Mcmillan sowed fortyfive pounds
of seed that threshed out eighty tw o
bushels, machine measure. Mr.. Barth
and some Of his neighbours secured some
OF the seed to try it out this year, and
Henry has two and a half acres that
runs five and a half feet or better in
heights, while the heads are large and
filling rapidly. The straw Is heavy and
while the variety is late maturing 1t is
expected the yield will be unusually
large. Mr.. Barth has promised to let
US know how his field turns out when
threshing time comes.

MAKE THE LOAFERS WORK.
TRnr1{notov, Couaf%a

Despite the fact that every able
bodied man should be employed In some
useful occupation at the present time,
there are a considerable number of
loafers noticed on the streets; men who
have not done tap" for years. These
loafers are over the draft age and be-
yond the government Jurisdiction.
The Gazette suggests that the city
council, in view of the labor scarcity
situation, adopt an ordinance forcing
all men over the draft age to work.
In times of war. it is necessary to take
extraordinary measures to accomplish
certain ends and a local ordinance
would answer the same purpose as a
state law.
T These older loafers. Hforced to work,
could take the places Of men of draft
age who have taken occasion to warm
their feet in securing employment in
industries that exempt them from going
into the army or which defers their
time of enlistment. There are many 'of
these and their fragrant slackerism
should not be countenanced.
