It has been left to the far sight- edness of Colonel D. E. McCarthy, chief quartermaster of the central department of the United States army, to bring to the fore at this time one of the weakest links in our chain' of national defense, and that is the wholly inadeguate provision that is made for an enlarged quar- termaster corps in time of war. Colonel McCarthy has recommend- ed to the war department that a quartermaster reserve corps of the brightest executive minds * in the country be organized in time of peace sufficient in size to supply the re- quirements of an army of a million men, which would be the smallest force this country could expect to put into the field in time of war. These men could be commissioned by the president as captains and lieu- tenants in the quartermaster reserve corps of the federal army, but with- out pay until called into active ser- vice, as is now the case with the medical reserve corps. To the average layman this may not appear to be of supreme import- ance, but to the trained man it is illuminating, and for several reasons. An army, however efficient and valorous in other respects, is almost wholly dependent upon the prompt and thorough execution of the duties pertaining to the quartermaster corps. If that corps is weak the usefulness of the whole army is seriously impaired, is dangerously near to being destroyed. A fighting unit of an army can be trained for reasonable service in from" four to six months. But it is useléss” without its corps of trained quartermasters. It can accomplish little without them. The office of quartermaster re- quires a man of a high order of in- telligence, quick discernment, iron determination and unquestioned in- tegrity. He must be cool headed, en- ergetic and persistent—a man who rides over all obstacles and ‘“‘gets there on time with the goods.” The duties of the position are so numerous, so varied and so intricate as to require years of training to produce even a moderately success- ful quartermaster. The civilian without training or theoretical knowledge who is made an officer of the' quartérmaster corps over night and ‘sent to' the front is nothing but a handicap and a detriment. If ap- pointed ‘fn large numbers, as has been‘done in all of our past wars, they even ‘constitute a serious menace to the successful execution of move- ments of vital importance to an army in the field. The quartermaster corpsof an army clothies; teeds; sheltérs-and transperts the troops; it provides horses, mules and ‘‘the ‘forage -and 'equipment for them; it furnishes stoves, fuel and lightt; - ‘comstructs roads, bridges, railroads, barracks, warehouses, docks and ‘wharves; charters ships, tugs and other means ‘of water carriage; pays officers, men ‘and“other employes; furnishes transportation for all ma- terial of war; ‘supplies tentage, cots, bedding, incinerators, and in fact everything for the upkeep of an army with the exception’ of arms, ammuni- tion, ‘medtcal ‘supplies, engineer and signal property. And of these mani- fold “duttes ‘none is of more vital im- portance than ‘that of subsisting the troops: "The "congress will take up this winter the problem of stréngthening the national defenses by an increase in ‘tWe Tregular army and navy and by ‘thie ratslng of ‘a force of volun-| teer ‘reserve’ troops. It we'afé to provide for the rais- ing ‘of ‘& great army to be used in emferpetiéy,” by all iheans let ‘us heed the advice of Colonél McCarthy and make provision for a corps of quar- tertfiENters Who ‘are ‘trained to their aiittes; “and ot ‘sénd ‘our young man- hood forth to suffér‘from the gross ineficiency 6f ‘a horde of political appoliitées’who dre dumiped onto the quartermaster ‘Corps at ‘the last min- ute because they want to be captains and majors and haven’t the courage to shoulder a rifle on the firing line. One weak link will destroy the mightiest chain, and an inefficient quartermaster corps will quickly transform a great fighting force into a growling and kicking aggregation of malcontents. The quartermasters of our regular army, though few in number and handicapped in a thousand ways, are among the best the world has ever produced. But they are but a drop in the bucket to the vast number of trained men who will be required if we are ever called upon to to place an army of a million men in the field 0|in defense of our country. ‘We abhor war in its every phase. It is barbarous, demoralizing and destructive of all that is best and noblést. in mankind. But as a pat- riotic American citizen we can not wilfully close our eyes to the fact that we are a nation so rich as to tempt the cupidity of an aggressor, and so weak as to be helpless in the repelling of an attack and in the safeguarding of our hard earned pos- sessions. Let us have no weak links in the chain of national defense. MIKE WAS SCARED. (Minneapolis Journal.) Further details of the treeing of Mike Cantillon by a bear near Be- midji are supplied by Andy Rahn. It seems that after the bear was shot they slipped Mike the bum hunch that the open season for bears did not open until January 1, and Mich- ael was informed that a game war- den, an intimate friend of Rahn's was after Mike and the party, for shooting big game out of season. Not knowing that bears are free game at all times of the year Mike registered severe inward agitation. To keep him away from the game warden Andy said that a friend who was present would take Mike out in the country and hide him until train time. Mike agreed and the friend and Mike hopped into a Ford and beat it for the brush. They hung out there in the cold all afternoon and when the train pulled in dashed for the station and Mike clambored into the baggage car. Just before the train pulled out Rahn came into the car with the friend who had kept Mike hidden all afternoon and intro- duced him. The friend was the head warden for the Bemidji distriet. When a city chap gets into the tall and uncut his troubles do seem to pile up like past-due taxes. A Rube is a Reuben the world around. BUY AT HOME. Every day good citizens are tell- ing us they are convinced that it is to their own interest to buy as much as possible this Christmas from our own merchants, because they realize that the profits from the sales must be kept at home. We think that at G. P. IRISH I make violins and other string instruments, and also do repair work on all instru- ments.. Am at your service when you want me. Telephone 564-w or leave orders at Bisiar's Music Store heart you, too, are a good citizen, if you will only stop to consider what- a ‘blow you are giving your home town when you send your money to outside sources. Why not BUY' IT AT HOME this Christmas if it is possible to get it here? Of course, if you must have some- thing that is not sold in this city then you are excusable if you buy it elsewhere. But you can buy most anything you want right here in this city from our own merchants, from people who are your sincere friends and whose heavy taxes on their busi- ness enterprises make your taxes that much lighter. We appeal to every citizen in this community—we appeal to you—to help keep prosperity in our own city by buying your Christmas goods from our own business men. We are appealing to your better nature—to your loyalty—to your own interests—when we ask you to join in keeping prosperity at home, where each and every one of us may enjoy its blessings. We are firm in the conviction that you will do this, because we believe you are a good citizen and are more than willing to prove yourself one of olir best citizens by doing that which you know to be to the best interests of the whole community as well as to yourself, and especially when it will not cost you an extra cent.

Tor- rance and Sheriff Andrew Johnson are doing their work well in enforec- ing the laws regulating liquor traffic in this county. During the past week five arrests and convictions have been made for blind pigging. Further action is promised. How- ever, in order to produce the best of results it is necessary for the citizens of ‘the county to co-operate with the county attorney and sheriff. If you want the laws of the county enforced, Mr. Citizen, it's up to you to advise the county officials of the conditions as you find them. 16-INCH SLABWOOD FOR SALE Softwood $2.00 per load Hardwood $2.50 per load Bemidji Mfg.
