MAINTAIN THE RECORD.
The circumstances under which the
United States was founded made her a
thrifty nation. In the earlier days,
before manufactories w-ere established,
hold needed had to be drawn from its
This made the Amer
and very carefully
ow r n resources,
icans far-seeing
provident.
As time went on and the nation real
ized itself master of almost limitless
natural resources, its earlier careful
habits dropped away, and a new- liber
ality of living took their place. Peo
ple gained the idea that there was no
object in stinting in any direction, for
there would always be enough. Wher
ever Americans traveled they gained
the reputation of being the most care
less and extravagant people upon the
face of the earth.
The war has pulled us up short. It
has made us feel that there is some
thing far greater than our own require
ments and desires. We now realize
that it is worth while to sacrifice les
ser things for the sake of greater ones.
And the nation has returned much near
er to the economy of its earlier days.
We have had lessons in carefulness
and temperance in all things and in
thrift. It will bo an opportunity thrown
away if we allow these lessons to be
lost, upon us.
We w'ill gain as a nation if we make
the excellent habits of care and thrift
part of our lives.
LET THEIR EDUCATION BE ALL
AMERICANIZED.
The war revealed to us many of the
existing conditions in, the United
States. It showed us that among our
young citizens of draft age a very
large proportion, through illness or
physical imperfection, were unable to
meet the requirements necessary for
military duty. It also brought into
view an illiteracy greatly exceeding
our realization. Among men of draft
age there were 700,000 illiterates.
Such a condition is most unfortun
ate. Our country, in spite of the vaunt
ed advantages of education which it is
supposed to give, is not doing its duty
along educational lines, and along the
linos of preparing men for citizenship.
Besides this large number of illiter
ates, there are many people in this
country who, though they read and
write some foreign tongue, do not read
or write English.
These people are also seriously handi
capped. English, the language of this
country, must be understood if Ameri
cans are to have a common view point
of policies and ideals. It is in com
munities where little English is used
that foreign propaganda, finds its read
iest field.
The United States must look to the
education of her children and the
Americanization of her citizenship.
THE SOLDIERS' SERVICE MARKS.
As the soldiers come back it will be
interesting to distinguish the meaning
of the various chevrons which they
wear upon their sleeves. Here is a list:
A single red chevron signifies "dis
charged with honor.'
A single blue chevron signifies less
than six months' service abroad.
A single gold chevron for each wound
received in service is worn on the fore
arm of the right sleeve.
A single gold chevron for each com
plete six months' service abroad is
worn on the forearm of the left sleeve.
A single white chevron for each com
plete six months' service in the United
►States is worn on the forearm of the j
left sleeve.
There is generally a mere question !
of opportunity, not of willingness or |
ability, between these service marks. !
Often the man who would gladly have
served abroad has been retained in this
country simply because he has shown
superior ability and, therefore, was bet
ter qualified to instruct others. The;
man who displays any one of the chev
rons above described has done his full
duty by his country and is worthy of
high honor.
The selfish ambition of an unprin
cipled ruler has made itself felt from ,
one end of the world to the other, and
has produced results far beyond any
intention or expectation. For instance,
Dr. Robertson, the head of the Chica
go health department, estimates that of
the 400,000 deaths from influenza and
pneumonia in this country, one-half
could have been prevented if the suf
ferers had had skilled nursing,
it was impossible to supply, for the
army had required 20,000 trained nurs
es to meet its needs. This loft at home
barely enough experienced nurses for
ordinary times, and when the epidemic
arrived the scarcity of nurses was im
mediately felt. The people who died
on account of insufficient care in their
sickness were as truly victims of the
Prussian military system as if they had
died on the field of battle.
This
It is a good idea to keep up the eat
ing of food not entirely made from
wheat throughout the country. The
whole grains are best in the long run,
and the habit of seeing everything
white in cakes, bread,etc., is some
thing that will benefit our stomachs
the sooner it is overcome. Barley and
rye are good for a greater purpose than
that for which they have been used
most abundantly—liquors. They are
good to eat with our meals not in the
degenerate state, but in the whole,
nourishing state where all that is orig
inally found in the kernel is there.
Furthermore, when the north and
through
Idaho it will not be placed to suit the
whim of a state highway engineer or
commission, but it will conform to the
lines the people specify. That's anoth
er illustration of the difference in the
public service meted out to each end
of our state.
SURPRISED.
Saturday night, Jan. 11, about 9:30
o 'clock, while the Odd Fellows were at
work, the Rebekahs made a raid and
almost gained admittance. About this
'time the outside guardian, Alva Mitch
ell, made his appearance and was so
much excited and frightened that his
eyes grew as large as saucers. He«had
never seen Rebekahs in raiders' uni
form before. Mr. Farmer, the inside
guardian, nearly broke his neck to
reach the inside door to keep the sup
posed German raiders out.
The surprise was complete, and they
will not want the Rebekahs to make a
raid soon again, as it will take them
some time to get over their fright. It
looks like our city marshal and coun
ty sheriff need assistance.
However, the raiders were armed
with a bountiful supper, to which all
did ample justice and an enjoyable
time was had. By a Rebekah.
Notice To Rebekahs.
The Rebekah Social Club mot at the
home of Mrs. Grace Price Jan. 10, 1919.
The afternoon was spent in a social
way, and Mrs. Price served a nice
lunch, after partaking of which the
Club adjourned.
The next meeting will be held at 2
o'clock Friday afternoon, Jan. 24, with
Mrs. Pearl Heston; Mrs. Maud Dun
ham, hostess. All Rebekahs are urged
to be present.
Mrs. S. R. Walker, See'y.
Attention, Stockmen and Ranchers.
Good young stock is being sold at
estray sales. Watch the advertisement
of estray sales . Talk to your neighbors
about it. When an animal is sold at
an estray sale the original owner loses
all title to the same. Estrays often on
ly bring the costs against them. In I
those cases the original owner has no
chance whatever of recovery.
A. W. Mitchell,
Sheriff of Lewis County, Idaho.
