the War Industries Board that
went into effect on the first of
October, your news-paper will
Ft'.ri coming when the time for
which it is paid runs out. This
saves you the unpleasant task of
telling the editor to stop it. Bnt,
if you do wish it to Le continued,
send in your renewal before the
time of the expiration, and you
will .not miss a copy perhaps,
the very copy of all that has
something in that you did not
want to miss. The label on
your paper tells to what date
you are paid; and as there are
several subscriptions that will
expire in December, the renewal
should not be put off too long.
If you think the News a gocd
paper, tell your friends about it
-show them a copy. Perhaps
you are puzz'ing your biain to

wheat and rye for other than hu

and grind it into feed and sell it
without reftrictiun, or without
securing permission fiom the

the rye is of his own growing or

With the signing of the armis
tice there was a general slacking
of the tension which has held the
world in a determined war-grip.
For two reasons this relaxation
must Le followed by a renewed
concentration of effort: we are
not yet at peace and, further
more, the conditions brought
about by war cannot be changed
overnight to peace prospwity.
For fonr years, the world's
chief business has been to detroy.
During this time the Red Cross
has tried to build up, and to re
store, but the destruction has
gone on at an infinitely more rapid
pace, 8nd it v ill be years before
a satisfactory restoration is
brought about.
"First in War," the Red Cross
was ready to bind the wounds be
fore our men paw the front lines.
Before the country entered the
war, the Red Cross heard the call
of humanity and served
"First in Peace," the Pad Crocs
has found a bigger work than
ever before. To provide shelter
for the homeless, to heal the eick,
and to help the returning soldier
find hi 4 way back to industry;
these are the fields in which the
R:d Cros s must continue to labor.
Its work now is to remove the
pcfsrsof a bnttlewounded world.
Thin is the work for all people.

Senators and K.presentatives.
The Senate of the United States
consists of two Senators from
each State in the Union (large
and small alike), and as we now
iiavc 43 States, there are 'JO men
representing those States in the
Congress.
This incidentally emphasizes
the fact lhat the States entered
the Union on an absolutely eq ial
footing, ps free and independent
commonwealths, regardless of
their size or population.
The members of the House, on
the contrary, repesentthe people
of the United States and as the
pipulation of this great country
is forever increasing at a rate
which necessatily differs accord
ing to localities, the number of
the people's representatives is
based upon the total of the pop
ulation as reported by the census
every ten years, and the number
of leprefentatives to which each
district is entitled is very justly
proportionate to the population of
that district.
The present apportionment is
therefore based on the census of
11)10 and this gives us a ratio of
one Representative for every 211,
877 inhabitants, or a total of 435
for the entire country. Accord
ing to the census of 1900 our ra
tio was one Representative to
every 191,182; in the previous de
cade we had one to every 173,901,
etc.
Our losses in Battle.
General Pershing has cabled
the total casualties in France in
a lump sum and it exceeds ex
nectations. but fortunately most
of them ar lisht, and thousands
of cases were never treated in
the hospitals. The known dead
in France number more rhan 53.
000. Including whose who died
in camp in this country, there
must be a total loss of at least
70,000. This is a great loss,
but slight compared with what
the other belligerents have suf
fered, and it must be remember
ed that a considerable percen
tage of those guns would have
died in civil life.
It is possible as yet to estimate
the total number of deaths in all
countries due to the war, but the
commonly quoted figure 1 of ten
millions seems too large. Brit
ain's known dead are G5S.O0O, to
which must probably be added a
grcatnumber recorded as mis-ing,
but who will not return. -Germany's
known dead are 1,500,-
000 not including a largo num
ber of missing. No one knows
the French casualties, but it is
not likely that their dead are less
than a million. Austro-Hun-gary's
losses have been
colossal, b'Jt mainly in prison
ers, although an estimate of a
million de?d for that nation pnd
half as many for Italy eeems
reasonable. It i3 not possi
even to g'less at the lo3?es of
Russia, but they have b:en
probably greater than those of
any other nation.
Even adding the losses of the
smaller nations i t can be seen
that ten millions is an excessive
total for the whole. Of course.
many have died of starvation or
maltreatment, and in this re
spect the worst may be yet to
come in Germany and Russia.
The losses are heavy enough n
all conscience, but fortunately
I not so great as has been assumed
j by some. On the other hand, it
must be taken into consideration
that during the four years there
has been an addition to the popu
lations through births, although
not at the normal rate in some
countries.
If this country hai preserved
its normal increase of population
through the birth-cate alone, it
has possibly made up for the
total losses of all those killed in
every country in the great war.
That is an astounding proposi
tion, but is in accordance with
experience. The world has lost
much, but at least it has gained
something in ideals which ought
to make thii planet a more de
sirable place in which to live
than ever before.

The War End?.
Quickly following the termina
tion of hostilities by Bulgaria,
Turkey and Austria, Germany,
at 5.40 'A. M., Nov. 11, signed
the armistice prepared by the
alie3 and at 11 A. M., French
time (G A.. .M. Washington
time) hostilities ceased and tho
great, epoch-making world war
ended.
Immediately upon receipt of
the news of this momentous
event all the world was shaken
by a delirium of joy, the like of
which has never before been
seen. All day long and all of
tho following night the air
vibrated and resounded with the
clamor and din of millions of
whistles, horns, bells, sirens, tin
cans, clappers, rattles, musica
instruments of all kinds, and a
ereat variety of other noise-
making devices and with the
shouts, songs, laughter and
chatter of millions of happy peo
ple who organized thousands of
impromptu parades, and joined
in a hundred other ways in the
celebration of this, the first
fourth of July of the world.
The 11th of November will
doubtless be commemorated
throughout all time as the birth
day of world freedom. The
millions of liberty bells which on
that great day sounded forth
the glad Bong of human free
dom throughout the whole earth
will bo handed down from gen
eration to generation as price
less heirloons of the beginning
of the glad reign of peace on
earth for which humanity has
been hoping and praying for
nearly two thousand years.
