THE JOYS OF PEACE

How pleasant it Is TO so back to the
little ways Of peace. One can idle an
hour or two away with a frivolous
book and do it with clear conscience,
without substratum Of thought run
ming through the mind that we should
be actively up and doing, engaged in
one of the innumerable ways of win
ming the war. One can drift into a
playhouse and watch a musical com
edy's mild amblings and let the ear
be titillated with light tunes without
feeling that perhaps it is not just the
thing to do in days of darkness and
sorrow. The lightse-the br' ght, white,
reassuring lights-are there again be-
fore the theater, telling us that fuel
economy is no longer imperative, that
evenings after full days labor can
again be spent idly and luxuriously
One can even invest an idle dollar in
box of chocolates because one feels
that sugar saving is no longer quite
so neceSsary.-Collier's.

SECRETARIES OF Y. M. C. A.
TROOP TRAINS TRAVEL
TOTAL OF 100000 MILES

there were zoe trains carrying 49,
500 men. In March the number of
trains leaped to 61S, with 3SS,SOo
men aboard. The high-water mark
of the entire homeward movement
was in July, when S77 trains moved
with 43S.500 men aboard. The ave-
rage mileage was slightly under
1000 miles per trip.
Since the armistice, the troop
train secretaries have handled q
vast amount of supplies of one sort
or another, all of which has been
given away. A package of gum, 4
bar of chocolate, daily papers, post
cards. writing material, etc, were
given out on every train. On large
portion of the trains, magazines -
not of current date - and checker
and domino games were also a part
of the secretary's equipment.
The gum, for instance. reached the
huge total of 7SS tons for the 1885,
O43 men served on trains since the
armistice, while the chocolate given
away reached the sum of 80 tons
for these men.
Similar service was rendered to
men who comprised units moving
by highway from various camps to
New York for parades, and moving
from New York for parades in Wash
ington.

New York, Oct. S1.-Nine million
three hundred twenty thousand
miles. which is equal to 373 times
around the earth, is the distance
travelled by troop train secretaries of
the Army Y. NJ. C. A, according to
figures, for a period ending October
is, issued by the Troop Train De-
partment in a report just made pub
lie. The number of men served
totaled 4,735,509 and they were car
ried on 1921 trains. These figures
represent a double service, the first
to recruits enroute to camp, and the
second to men returning from Eu-
rope who were being sent to de-
mobilization camps.
Since the armistice, this bureau
has sent secretaries on 4.365 trains,
hauling a total of 2,3S9,4 ,403 men. In
the performance of this work the
"Y" had 165 men who travelled con-
stantly. as well DIS 40 others called
on in cases of emergency. However,
none of the above figures cover the
number of "Y' secretaries who
were sent with soldiers from camps
to the port of embarkation on their
way overseas.

Influenza Made Heavy
Inroads on Fur Trappers

Seattle Oct. 31-Because influenza
last spring nearly wiped out tribes
of Eskimo and Indian trappers in
the Arctic regions of Alaska and
Canada, there will be little trapping
it is said, in the Far North. for at
least ten years, says reports receiv-
ed here.
Furs from foxes raised in captiv-
ity on fox farms, will be on the
market in numbers, however, as the
number of fox farms being estab-
hshed in Alaska and the Yukon Ter
ritory is increasing yearly.
Fur buyers will probably find
consolation in the announcement
that sealskin may be reduced in
price during the next ten years.
Year by year the United States
Governments herd of seals on the
Pribilof Islands off Alaska is in
creasing and the United States
Bureau of Fisheries, which has
charge of the herd, hopes to see the
prices drop as the number of seals
increases.

DR.. RANKIN HAD
REAL SERVICE
This keokuk Major In the Medical
Corps was With His Regiment
Under Fire For Six
Months.

! Major William Rankin landed in
New York yesterday and will be back
home in Keokuk soon.
He started home from Coblenz, his
division having been the first to set
foot on German soil, after over two
years of army service and six months
under fire with only ten days rest.
He locked his doctors office at
Fourth and Main and enlisted In
April, 1917, almost before the ink was
dry on the American declaration of
war. He started as lieutenant In
the medical corps and is discharged
as major, after winning successive
p1 emotions in France where promo
/ ton was as slow as the regeneration
of a politician.
His first service was at Fort Riley,
and in a few months he was ordered
to the 126th infantry of the 32d divi-
sion After short time at Camp
Macarthur, he was made captain and
went to France with the division.
They went under fire in May, 1918,
and staid there continuously for six
months. The division fought on five
fronts and in three major offensives,
the Aisne-Marne, the Oise-Muese and
the Muese-Argonne-wh means the
hardest fighting of the war The men
We're chiefly from Wisconsin and Mich
isan- They fought twenty-three Hun
divisions, advanced thirty-eight kilo-
meters in the face Of the enemy, and
repulsed every counter attack
All this gave plenty of work for the
regimental surgeon of the 10th in
fantry, and he was with the regiment
flcm start to finish. He was made a
major shortly before the armigtice
was signed. and since then has been
in the army of occupation.
Dr.. Rankin is now at Camp Mer-
rift, and his wife is awaiting another
telegram stating just when he will ar
rive at Keokuk.
