RETURNING HEROES.

Ansol Skantze who left here in
July last year and spent several
months at the front, returned Friday
feeling fine and his looks substan-
tiated this statement. Ansol brought
with him a large number of souvenirs
from the battlefield and the stories
he tells are well worth listening to.
He was mustered out at Camp Dodge.
Harry Rosevear, who has been with
the Canadian forces on the other
side for the past year returned Tues
day. Harry says he is pleased to get
home and that he was very we'll sat
isfied with the service.
Walter Carlson arrived home Fri
day, having been mustered out at
Camp Grant. He was with the en-
gineers at the front and spent nearly
a year overseas. He left Monday
for visit with his brother and fam
lily at Chisholm.

claim for back bounty will probably
begin June 1, Auditor Bergen said.
Information received at his Office was
that the appropriation bill for pay
ment of such back bounties by the
state is certain of passage. The ap-
preparation is carried in the omnibus
bill' which, however, will not be put
through the legislature until near the
close of the present session.
The total amount to be refunded
to the county by, the state is ST.
1O1.50, the larger part of which will
be paid directly to claimants for back
bounties. Although the law pro-
viding for the payment of $3.50
bounty on adult wolves and 81 each
on cubs by the state has been in con-
tinuous effect, lack of funds has for
several years made the payment of
this state bounty impossible.
All money due to trappers of
wolves by the state since the lapse
in payments will be paid from the
present appropriation. The county
auditors Office will probably be pre-
pared to start making payments as
early as June /, Mr.. Bergen said.

A VITAL QUESTION

Were we really worth fighting for?
It will be well for each of US to
ponder that question before the open.
ing of the Vitory Liberty Loan on
April 21st.
The answer will be the size of our
subscription to that loan, not in dol.
lars but in proportion to our finan-
cial ability.
Over and over the story comes to
US from those who are now coming
back Of how in the mud and suffering
of the trenches; in the long she'll
shattered silence of the night watches
in the short, sharp struggles; in the
endless monotony of training and
waiting and working; in the shell
holes and on the hospital cots, the
one cheerful, sustaining thought was
Of the folks at home.
Service of country and for an ideal
meant to the average only protection
and service for the ''home folks
Gallant performances were easy be.
cause they would please the dear
ones across the Atlantic. Over and
above and through all the heroism
ran the thought of doing credit to
those whom they were fighting for
and were willing to die for.
L L
men waited for and devoured news
from home. With high strung
nerves they listened to reports of the
progress Of former Liberty Loan
drives and when they heard how the
"home folks" went cover the top"
those boys went back to their grim
business of war with renewed courage
and with smiles that the enemy could
never fathom nor stand against.
It all meant to the "Sammies" that
they were backed by the folks at
home. The fathers and mothers and
brothers and sisters for whom they
were fighting, understood. They
were with them in spirit. They
were doing their share, were backing
them to win. As result those fight
ing "Yanks" went back to their job
of winning with renewed courage.
Now our soldiers have done their
part. They have finished their job.
Some of them will never come back
to US. The others are returning to
those they fought for.
But OUR job isn't finished until
'the United States has honorably
met every commitment made in order
to win the war;" We will not be
honorably discharged until we have
loaned our government the money it
must have to end this war and secure
for US and the whole world a lasting
peace.
Are we going to refuse to answer

The big credit house of Bradstreet
compiled a record on December 81 of
all the business failures which oc-
Cured during the year. An analysis
was made from dozen different
