The Government expects to
materially reduce the high cost
of living by putting on the mar.
ket the 100 million dollars worth
Of supplies which had been
bought for the army. Let's see
100, 100000 dollars among 1OO,-
100000 people would be about
one dollar and twenty cents for
each person in the United States.
That would last a hungry man
like yours truly a long time. Ha!
Ha! Well eat that much at a

PERUVIAN BOY SCOUTS.

The boy scout movement in Peru
has made considerable progress In the
three years since the first scout
brigade was established. It has now
extended to all the principal cities

The official report for the year says
that the scout movement In Peru has
filled need among. a people whose
education Is along purely intellectual
lines, and efforts which tend to the
development Of the mental, physical
and moral forces Of the young are all
the more necessary to make the future
generation creditable one.
The scout movement In Peru has
made as much progress as private in

The storm the night of the 5tk
did tremendous amount of
damage in this country. Our i'm

with but little damage but south
of town in the Berglund district

west and also along the Advent
road the crop which had not been
cut was entirely destroyed.

practically all their crop. West
of Bruno, toward Willow, all the
standing grain was ruined, and
out in our Polish district the
loss is complete. James Hogan's
oat crop was harvested and
thrcshed the same night and he
had a very nice prospect for a
crop at that. 1t also blew the
roof from his hay shed. The
Streets have lost all their crop
and this coming on after the fire
loss Of a year ago is quite a seri-
Gus one for them. It's the first
hail damage we have ever had in
this country to our knowledge.
and we have been here twenty
years. We hope it's the last.

SOU S
SCOUTS HONOR ROOSEVELT

A memorial to Theodore Roosevelt,
drafted by Hermann Hagedorn and
adopted by the National Council OF the
Boy Scouts Of America, Is as follows
He was found faithful over few
things and he was made ruler over
many; he cut his own trail clean and
straight and millions followed him to-
ward the light.
He was frail; he made himself a
tower Of strength. He was timid; he
made himself lion Of courage. He
was dreamer; he became one OF the
great doors OF all time.
Men put their trust in him; women
found champion in him: kings stood
In awe Of him. but children made him
their playmate.
He broke a nations slumber with
his cry, and 1t rose up. He touched tn
eyes Of blind men with flame and
gave them vision. Souls became
swords through him; swords became
servants Of God.
He was loyal to his country, and he
exacted loyalty; he loved many lands
but he loved his own land best.
He was terrible in battle. but tender
to the weak; Joyous and tireless be-
Ing free from self-pity; clean with
cleanness that cleansed the air like a
gale.
His courtesy knew no wealth or
class; his friendship, no creed or color
or race. His courage stood every on
slaught Of savage beast and ruthless
man, Of loneliness. of victory. Of de-
feat. His mind was eager, his heart
was true his body and spirit, defiant
OF obstacles, ready to meet what might
come.
He fought injustice and tyranny:
bore sorrow calamity: loved all ma
ture. bleak spaces and hardy compan-
ions, hazardous adventure and the zest
OF battle. Wherever he went he car
ried his own pack. and In the utter
most parts Of the earth he kept his
conscience for his guide.

Today the 81 day of August

Like Chicago after the great

and building up a bigger and
better town, modern brick build

A rule of the road that is dis
regarded, but which it would be
we'll if everyone would follow is
that at crossing, the car on the
road to your right has the right
of way. This rule is almost a
universal rule Of traffic and il it
is followed it will do much to-
ward safe guarding all drivers.
At a crossing your car has the
right Of way if the other car is
on your left. If it is on your
right, the other car has the right
Of way.

II Uncle Sam would delegate a
few men to go down to Mexico
and ."clean up" some Of those
bandits we believe he would do
humanity a favor. The idea of
having to offer a ransom to have
some Of our own American boys
freed here in America! That's
too much. Those bandits should
be treated like boys and given a
good spanking.

The opinion is prevalent in a
number Of places and it is shared
by some of the best doctors in
the country, that next winter is
to see a recurrence of the flu
even worse than we had it last
year, and that sure was bad. We
wish to propose at this time that
the county and state boards of
health in connection with the
school boards Of the state take
hold Of this matter now and pre-
pare TO combat the plague. We
understand there is a serum
which has proven effective, and

SAYS ADVICE FLoUTEp,

Washington, Feb. 15.--Recommenda-
tons for mitigation Of courtmartial
sentences have been flouted by army
officers, acting Judge Advocate Gener-
al Ansell told the senate military COM
mittee today.
Ansell continued testimony begun
earlier this week, when he described
the present method of administering the
courtmartial system as "intolerable."
Many times Recommendation made
by my office were not followed by off,
GERS in charge of courtmartial," said
Ansell. He explained the war depart
ment felt it had no power to make
such recommendations effective.
Ansell wants congress to put power
Of review and correction in courtmar-
tial in the hands of the judge advo-
cate general. Those favoring centrali-
cation Of all power in the general staff
differ sharply with Ansell.
Ansell recommended changes in the
right of the accused to challenge any
member of the courtmartial court. I'm
der the present system, he said. the
same court considered a number oi
similar cases and of necessity wers
opinioned after considering the first
case.

greater Germany through the annexa-
ton of Austria.
That means Germany will emerge
from the war with more territory in
Europe and with a larger population
than when the war began, despite the
annexation of Alsace- Lorraine to
France.
Germany, as a Socialist republic.
comprising what the Socialist leaders
are calling all Of the German tribes"
has certain enticements for Russia.
The selection of Socialists as president
and chancellor of Germany makes the
government Of the German tribes"
more nearly akin to the soviets of
Russia than Is any other government
of Europe.
The foundation of a new alliance Is
thus beginning to appear In the So
cialistic community of interest between
Germany and Russia. This is the
greatest danger facing the league OF
nations. The league can make its
position permanently paramount with
Germany alone in sullen opposition.
But, II Germany and Russia become
allies, the continent of Europe may
again see titanic struggle for a new
balance of power.
The key to the situation is the atti-
tude the western decomracies intend
to adopt as their permanent policy
toward Russia.

The presidents departure was in

His special train, which left Paris in

the station here shortly after 10 o'clock.
Two thousand American soldiers from

of honor lined the track on both sides.
A military band played the American
national anthem as the president left
the train. General Helmick, General
Butler, their staffs, some French mill
