The Regular Army

One of the problems now coming
up before Congress i tie question
of recJnstitutins the Regular Army.
The American people dislike mill
tarism, but an army somewhat
larger than its strength before the
war will be generally desired. the
country will never draft men to
serve in peace times. |, is then a
question of making service popular,
so there will be enough voluntary
enlistmen
Even for the relatively small
army as it existed before the war it
was hard to get men enough Ev-
cry post office IN the country was
placarded with posters urging men
to enlist, and dwelling on the com.
forts and pleasures of army life.
The pay of $500 a month given a
private at the beginning of his ser
vice was not attractive Of course
this pay was better than it looked
A man was provided with about
everything he needed. The $500
was practically for spending money.
Now the lowest rate Of pay is 5000
a month, with increases every three
or four years, and final retirement
in 50 years with three quarters pay
and some allowances
A fellow who goes through the
so years will be better off than
many others that have earned very
much more. But whether enough
men can see it is a question, The
pay will have to be made enough
to get the men. II is reported from
the environments that a good many
drafted soldiers would be willing to
stay on as regulars. The life does
look attractive TO men of a certain
type. It should be made as plea
SAINT as possible, with all the home
comforts that can be supplied.
Uncle Sam is going to went a,
sizable army for the troublous and
uncertain days now ahead. A good
class of men is wanted. who will
bear themselves with dignity worthy
Of their government, and keep up
American repute wherever they
are sent.

Business after the war will be
good if we are all on the JOB in the
proper spirit. and The Saturday
Evening Post says:
A very able business man recent
ly gave his associates his opinion of
economic conditions after the war.
He saw swollen prices, bilious of in,
flated currenehcy, heavy taxes, mil.
lions of soldiers looking for jobs
when wars enormous demands for
goods bad ceased; strikes. turmoil,
idle munition plants. He believed
that looking back over wars vast
senseless destruction men would
feel a profound establishment
Times would be bad.
Within a week, as it happened,
another business man. as able and
of as great reputation as the first,
gave his views of after war condi.
tions. He saw far more abundant
supply of money for industrial ex-
pansion than before, war financing
having disclosed unknown pOssibili
ties in that direction. He saw in
dustry. thanks to war, much better
organized than ever before; an
ample labor supply and a better
equipment than ever before for
maintaining the stable relations be-
tween capitol and labor Taxes
would be high, but production
would be greater, giving a bigger
fund to pay taxes out Of. Recon
stiuction and deferred improve
ments would create tremendous de-
mands for materials and labor.
Manufacturers and merchants
would have a new idea Of the worlds
buyer. Plans that would have look
ed too big in 1914 would look small
after the war. Coming of peace
after this war nightmare would
stimulate men, and as they looked
on the tremendous things accomp
lished since 1914 they would look
! to the future with higher hope and
greater confidence than ever before.
Times would be good.
Both Of these mem one an Eng
lishman, and the the other an
American were equally right.
II we look at it in the first way

times will be bad. II we look at it
in the second way times will be
good What business conditions
are after the war will depend first
of all upon the state of our minds
If we keep our courage, our punch,
our common sense, try hard to
Larmonize our difference and pull
together, we shall have good times.

Good Roads Campaign

Good roads in Missouri suffered
distanct loss when Col. Frank Buff
fun was no longer at the head of
the Missouri State Highway Board
No one ever brought to this Office
such aggressive interest and action
Col. Buffum not only knows the
construction of good roads: he en-
inently realizes that they are the
greatest commercial asset state or
community can have. SO interest
ed was he in good highways 10 this
section of the State that at one
time he offered to give gravel free
to people Of this community, they
to pay carriage, if it would be used
in the construction of good roads.
Some few availed themselves of the
opportunity of road repair. But the
highways out of Vandaiia are still
in an unreinforced condition, fine in
good weather, but practically im
passable at certain seasons and only
saved by the drag. The American
soldier with his first hand know.

BAPTIST rs MILLION CAMPAIGN
UNFINISHED TASK is
ENORMOUS ONE

Indicative of the large unfinished
task that confronts the Christian
churches in the evangelization of the
world, it is pointed out by the Baptist
rs Million Campaign that there are a
total Of 1,081, 1,981,000 people in the
world who are not affiliated with any
denomination which processes to be
Christian. In other words, there are
! practically twice as many people who
are not Christians as there are who
'sare Christians, counting as Christians
people of every denomination who
make any recognition of Jesus Christ.
Christians of every nacm number
04,510,000; Confucianists and Taoists

OF the 564,210,000 Christians Of all
names in the world today 392, $4,000
are Eastern and Roman Catholic,
while the Protestant population, not
! including Baptists, is 161 ,650,000. The

WOMEN AND CHILDREN TO
SHARE IN MANS JOB

While the task of raising $75,O0O,-
600 in cash and five-year pledges be-
tween now and Dec. z has been de-
scribed as a mans job the women and
children have been given an oppor-
tunity to share in the Baptist rs Mil
lion Campaign. The Wom.n's Mis-
sionary Union, the organized body of
Southern Baptist women, has agreed
to raise $15,000,000 or one-fifth of the
total sum, while DR.. I. j. Van Ness,
corresponding secretary of the Baptist
Sunday School Board, is asking that
the Sunday schools of the South con-
tribute $2,500,0OO as their share of
the big sum. This will afford the
100000 boys and girls enrolled in
the Baptist Sunday schools of the
South an opportunity to have a vital
part in the biggest task their de-
nomination has ever undertaken.

CUT WOOD BY MACHINERY
AND SAVE ENGINES COST

Use of power machinery in prepar-
ing firewood will reduce labor require
ments to a point where the farmer
should be able to get his wood eady
to burn without seriously neglecting
other work, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. A great
many farmers already have gasoline
engines suitable for furnishing the
power for wood-saving machines The
saving machines themselves are COM
paratively inexpensive and the labor
one saves will be sufficient to pay for
it long before it is worn out. One
outfit can do the work for several fam
lilies each year. The purchase of COM
plete outfit including an engine to fur
nish power, may be profitable for a
group of farmers or for one who has
an opportunity to do custom work fro
his neighbors.
Where the cooperative plan is not
feasible, many farmers prefer to have
their wood cut with hired outfit

of the most interesting stories that

rather than to purchase an individual

rather than to purchase an individual
rig. The machines are sometimes
hired by the day or hour and some
times by the cord. In cutting poles or
heavy wood that has not been put into
corwood, the outfit is usually hired
on time basis. When the saw own
er furnishes the fuel for the engine
and his own time, 81 or less per hour
is usually charged in the eastern part
of the country. If the saw is kept
at least two cords per hour. Thus the
use of hired machine for cutting
wood will cost the farmer less than

SO cents per cord. In, cutting cord
wood the outfit is often hired at
fixed rate per cord. Where the saw
owner furnishes the fuel and only his
own time, the price is usually 35 to
so cents per cord. IF custom rig
has a great deal of saving TO do
every year the charges for deprecia-
ton, interest, and probable repairs
will be considerably less per cord than
on the individual outfit. Consequent
ly, the custom outfit can do the work
at price equal to or below the cost
Of doing it with an individual outfit
and still return a profit to the owner.

WHAT Is MILLION
DOLLARS WILL DO

To afford a concrete idea Of the
task the Southern Baptist shave under
taken in their efforts to raise $75,000,-
600 in cash and five-ycar pledges be-
tween now and December Z, the fol-
lowing facts about what that number
of silver dollars would do have been
compiled:
Placed one on the other they would
make a stack more than 118 miles
high.
rut sj4e by side and directly ad-
joining each other they would extend
a distance of 1,778 miles, or one-four
teenths Of the distance around the
globe.
They would weigh 4,687 500 pounds
and would afford heavy load for two
large railway engines.
To count this many dollars singly
would require one person five and a
half years, working eight hours per
iday.

1RAPPER FROZEN
IN SEVERE STORM
Nick Wukovich Perished in
Heavy Snow While In
specting Line Of Traps
FORMERLY A MINER

Nick Wukovich, formerly a miner at
Aspen, but recently following the bus
mess of trapping, with his palner,
Lawrence Neglish, lost his life in the
deep snow near Coal Basn about Nov
ember 2s.
Wukovich left Redstone on November
"a for his camp at Coal Basin. Appar-
emily he reached the camp and remAin-
ed there that night. On Tuesday morn
ing, November 25, Mr.. Neglish lsft
Redstone, also bound for the Coal Ba-
sin camp where he arrived in the af-
ternoon. On the way up to camp he
noted the tracks of his partner turn
ing from the trail toward Dexter Di-
vide where they had set q string Of
traps.
Neglish waited at the camp Tuesday
night but his partner did not appear
and Neglish started the next morning
in search of Wukowich, working his
way through the deep snow to DoAter
divide. He shouted several times at
the top Of his voice and fired his gun
in the air, hoping to attract the atten-
tion Of his partner. It was storming
very hard and Neglish was forced to
return to camp. The next day Nsglish
continued the search in Coal Basin, but
the heavy storm still continued and he
was not able to make much headway.
On Friday he made further search but
BY this time the snow was getting 70
deep as to make travelling very diff
cult.
AS Neglish was without snowshoes
he was forced to make his way to Rod
stone where he reported the loss of his
partner, and some friends with i'm
provised snowshoes made from barrel
slaves assisted him in further search.
On Wednesday, December 8 the
search was continued, Forest Rangers
John Keep and George Winters, both
provided with snowshoes, joining in
the search. Thursday afternoon, Doc
ember 4, after travelling over snow
from 5 to IL feet deep, Keep and Win
ters discovered the body of the man
near the top of Dexter divide. BY the
mans side was his Winchester rifle,
and everything indicated that the poor
fellow had stopped through sheer ex-
haustion, and becoming numb from the
cold had pust dozed off into the sleep
of death.
Wukowich was an Austrian, as yeazs
OF age, and had no relatives in this
country. Keep and Winters improvised
crude sled upon which they brought
the body to Redstone where it was
held until the arrival from Aspen of
the coroner of Pitkin county, who tosk
charge Of the remains.
