knoweth that ye have need of all
these things. But seek ye first the

things shall be added unto you.

A TEAGIC PICTURE
Much has been written of the hor
rors of war. But the most terrible
and impressive picture of what war
really means is given in a few brief
statistics published in the June issue
of Current History. For many
months Rex F. Harlow, with the as
sistance of the fifteen active bellig
erent nations in the war, has been
conducting a careful research into
the direct military losses in the
World war. It has been completed
and even to those who thought they
realized the full tragedy and terror
of war, it comes with a shock.
No conflict since time began ever
approached the World war. There
were mobilized for actual conflict the
enormous total of 64,6S3,S10 soldiers
more than half the total popula
tion of the United States, nearly
double the population of the entire
country when the North and South
clashed in the Civil war. Of these,
8,461,595 were killed and 21,699.
935 were wounded, making a total
casualty of 29,561,53S.
Not less striking were the enor
mous armies mobilized. Russia led
with 12,000.000; other nations were:
Germany, 11.000,000; Great Britain,
S. 904. 476; France, 8,410.000; Austria-Hungary,
7,S00,000; Italy, 5,
615000; United States, 4.S00.000.
The mobilization of the small na
tions was fully as great proportion
ately to their population. Germany
led in number of killed with 1,175,
000 and Russia next with 1,700.000.
Russia's wounded were 4,950,000,
with Germany 4,216,058. One of
the most pitiful features of the war.
a feature not generally realized, was
the terrible toll paid by little Rou
mania. She put 7o0,000 men in
the field. Of this number 335,766
were killed, while the wounded were
160,000 the largest proportionate
number of dead probably ever known
in any war. And Roumanla was in
active warfare on a large scale only
for a few weeks.
No history of the war has given
an adequate description of the scenes
when the routed Roumanian forces
were caught between Mackensen's
army and the Bulgarian forces com
ing from the east and south, but
thev must have been terrible in their
slaughter.
In commenting on these terrifying
estimates, Mr. Barlow says:
"The facts and figures that have
been set forth show two things:
First, that war such as that con
ducted in Europe from 1914 to 191 S
has kept pace with the development
of other human activities, and is con
ducted on a scale commensurate with
the increased power of the human
race; and, second, that in spite of
human devices and scientific devel
opments, both of which played a
dominant part In the recent conflict,
it takes men, millions of them, to
make war. Just as It always has done
There is another thing the figures
show, and that is that war Is grow
ing to be too expensive for nations
to Indulge in it. But when there is
added to the enormous cost in wealth
the ghastly loss of nearly 30,00.0,000
of the best young manhood of the
civilized world, then there can be no
doubt as to the senselessness of war.
When the people of the world, the
financiers and wealth-loving mem
bers of society especially, reach the
definite conclusion that war is too
expensive, then this frightful dls-
ease'will be wiped from the face of
the earth. Men, millions of them.
paid the supreme price of war with
their bodies during the world con
flict. Avarice and love of power,
the evils of envy and greed, were be
hind it all. When the curtain is
raised and those behind the scenes
are exposed, then there will be no
more 65,000,000 young men march
ing away to death and destruction."
There have been many arguments
against war. None ever can be is
sued more easy to understand, more
terrible, more convincing in Its sim
plicity than these figurea

HAIL DESTROYS
CROPS IN SOUTH
WESTERN IOWA
Storms Sweep Paths Across Mills
and Montgomery Counties
in Iowa.
From Monday's Daily
Reports that hail Sunday morning
destroyed whole crops of grain on
many farms in western Iowa were
received here Sunday night.
A severe hail, rain and wind storm
swept a path a half mile wide thru
the western part of Mills county near
Glenwood, practically destroyed all
small grains in the storm area. It
was estimated that the damage to
crops in the country would reach a
half million tlollars.
The fruit crop of the J. W. Carter
orchards, four miles northwest of
Glenwood, was practically ruined for
this year. Other orchards also suf
fered heavily.
Four inches of rain was reported
to have fallen in and near Glenwood
in forty-five minutes. Keg creek was
running bank-full, and the swollen
waters of the stream carried trees
and timbers from small bridges
washed out above Glenwood. Many
cellars in Glenwood were flooded. The
well-drilling outfit of the Lane &
Boulder Co. was washed some dis
tance by the waters rushing down the
valley.
The vicinity of Elliott, la., north of
Red Oak, was hit hard by a severe
hail, wind and rain storm which to
tally destroyed small grain in a strip
from four to five miles wide across
Montgomery county.
Pilot Grove township, northeast of
Red Oak. was hardest hit, grains be
ing beaten into the ground, leaves
stripped from trees, corncribs and
barns being blown over, and many
window panes broken out by the hail
and wind.
Nearly all creeks in Montgomery
county were reported out of their
banks by the heavy rains, but no
particular damage from the swollen
waters was reported.
DEATH OF LITTLE CHILD
From Tuesday's Daily
The little child of Mr. and Mrs.
Otto Kruger, Harley, aged four years,
two months and fifteen days, died at
the hospital in Omaha yesterday af
ter a short illness. The little one
was taken to the hospital Sunday
night and received treatment there
but which was of no avail as the
little one passed away at 4:40 yes-
terdav afternoon, being too weak to
be operated upon and gradually fail
ing until death came to give it rest
There are left to mourn the death
the parents as well as two brothers
and two sisters, who will have the
deepest sympathy in the loss that
has come into the home.
The funeral will be held Wednes
day afternoon at 2:30 at St. Paul's
Evangelical church.
FEELING MUCH IMPB0VED

Miss Mable hite, wno was
brought back from the Clarkson hos

showing very pleasing improvement
at her home in the north portion of
the city, the rest and quietude of the

Look for the
Polarine $ign
FEW cars will stand more or work
harder than Fords. But they al
ways have had certain peculiar
habits. Their brake bands and trans
mission bands get glazed and alter
nately slip and grab.
To develop an oil that properly lubri
cates the motor, timing gears and trans
mission, has been no simple or easy
accomplishment.
But Polarine "F" for Fords does
all these things. Introduced to Ford
owners of Nebraska in 1924, it has stood
the test. Thousands of motorists use it
regularly and report that it does all that
we promised.
If you have not tried Polarine "F"
you have a pleasing experience ahead.
Next time you have your crankcase
drained get it filled with Polarine "F"
for Fords. It will cost you no more
than Polarine Medium, but it will give
you a smoother-running, quieter, better
lubricated car.
Drive up to any Red Crown Service
Station where you see the Red Crown

and balanced gasoline.
