It is Just as imperative to rasas
this fund to be used in properly

soldiers' as it is to buy the govern-

ent Patrols set up their camp spent

LANDS AGENCY FOR
F0RM-A-TRUCK
Mr Clyde E Stanton of the
Stanton Motor Co has been suc-
cessful In securing the Agency In
this locality for the great Form-A-Motor
truck manufactured by the
Smith Motor Co of Chicago I1L
The Form-A-Motor truck is an
apparatus that is easily attached to
a Ford Dodge Chevrolet or any au-
to and makes an a number one
truck that will do the work of the
larger and more expensive truck at
half the cost It is strongly built
and guaranteed in every way A
Ford Converted makes a one and a
half ton truck
Many of these serviceable trucks
are now in use and are giving entire
satisfaction 'and at a very low cost
of up keep
We congratulate Mr Stanton on
landing the agency for this practical
truck and we believe he will be able
to place many in this community to
do the heavy hauling now done by
teams
Ruth Talla daughter of Mr and
Mrs T O Tails was operated on
last Monday by Dr Mullins and her
tonsils and adenoids removed
BLACK HAWK
PULLING CASING
A report says the Black Hawk
Oil Company is pulling all of the
six inch casing in their well on the
Jim Litterell Farm in section 10
2n5w and will also pull a portion
of the eight inch casing so the first
oil sand may be tapped for a well
at about -1875 feet
'The outcome of this well will be
watched with a great deal of inter-
est by oil men in this locality' as the
exact production of this well has
never been ascertained because the
drillers were anxious to make a
deep test while the hole was in good
shape f
Should this well hsow a good
production other tests will probably
be started near this well

ARMY ESTIMATE
M 500000 MEN
Estimates of tha probable size of
tha United Statea army that will be
raised for the present war range
from 1000000 to 2000000 men
By splitting the difference between
these two estimate the sum of 1
500000 men may be used as a basis
for calculation Now what does an
amp of 1500000 men really mean?
Such an army would embrace
nearly five times as many American
soldiers as were needed to win the
war of independence It would equal
nearly three times the number of
United States troops engaged in the
war of 1812 and would exceed by
nearly 1260000 tha number of Uni-
tedn States troops that took part in
the' war with Spain
V ' Cover lOSO Mils
What extent of ground would such
an army cover? Just 1050 miles
Thie is 150 miles roughly greater
than the distance between New York
and Chicago Marching by fours
in the regular military alignment
this vast army' with horses' and
moles cannon and escort wagons
pontoons and hospital trains would
stretch fully a third of the way
across the United States
If they kept passing day and
night - marching all twenty-four
hours they would take seventeen
and one-half days to pass any one
point The regular military march
for seasoned troupe is fifteen miles
a day
It would take this army of 1500
000 men Just seventy days to de-
ploy that is to maneuver into line
or for the rear troups to reach the
front
Figured according to army tables
Such a body of troups would re-
quire 511600 animals and 61880
vehicles including - guns If — they
made one great camp it would cover
23947 acres or thirty-eight square
miles '
To maintain this army would re
quire several million dollars a day
In less than a week the pay of these
troups would buy the Woolwarth
building one of the costliest struct-
ures in the world
At $6 a head it would cost $9000
000 just to give each man a service
uniform Shoes would cost an ad-
ditional $6000000 to $7000000 to
say nothing of blankets rifles over-
coats hats or any other of the mul-
of today

These soldiers would cat 6750000 for ads when copy is received there-

would consume almost cut much fod-
