(Official City, State and County Newspaper) The Last Call Three million doughboys, gobs, leathernecks, army | nurses and army telephone operators whd were ! « present at any of the doings at home cr overseas in the last war today have a chance to get in on the nicest little bonus proposition their Uncle Sam- uel ever offered. It beats homesteads, free garden seeds, or a free! copy of any of the books put out by the government Printing office. And this is in the nature of a last call, for the opportunity to get in on this govern- mental soup expires at midnight Saturday, July At that time the opportunity to take out insur- ~ ance offered by the United States Vaterans’ Bureau expires, but to make matters easy, the bureau has offered new terms under which any veteran can take out insurance, whether he had dropped his war “risk policy or not. | . 1 This insurance is the cheapest insurance in the! “world, and it is surprising that of the 4,000,000 men and women in service during the war, only 566,000! “have been thrifty enough and far-sighted enouga to carry on the dirt-cheap but gilt-edged protec- | * tion which the government made possible in 1917. | The liberal conditions under which the govern- “ment now offers—for the last time—insurance tj -its former service men and women have evidently | not been understood. Were they understood and “appreciated, there would be a rush of millions t> renew lapsed policies. In the first place, it is not necessary to pay up! all back premiums in order to reinstate. In the second place, the government now offers aj new form of insurance—a five-year convertible term * policy which costs little more than the war risk -insurance, but which can be carried for this five- “year period and then converted to any of the six _forms of permanent insurance. This new term “rate is approximately $1 a month for every $1,000 worth of insurance taken out. In other words, any ex-service man or woman ean now, by paying approximately $2 back pre- miums and about $1 new premium, get an insurance policy which will pay his dependents $1,000 in case of death, or pay the policyholder a regular monthly ‘benefit in case of his permanent total disability. “Carrying charges are approximately only $1 a «month for five years, at which time the govern- “ment will permit the policyholder to convert his «term insurance to any one of the six standard poli- cies which regular line insurance companies offer. Were people not in service permitted to take out these government policies, the regular line com- panies would have to shut up shop, for the govern- ment insurance is the cheapest in the world, «. 1 Every service man owes it to himself to get: the facts on the new insurance from the nearest vet- “erans’ bureau office, from his Legion of V. F. W. Post, or from the Veterans’ Bureau at Washington. “By merely writing a letter to the United States Veterans’ Bureau at Fargo, stating that he intends “to take out government insurance, any veteran can become eligible to receive the benefits. After July 2, however, it will be too late to write. Flood Control -, ;The United States, according to a late estimate “by Herbert Hoover, will have spent $30,000,000 in yone way or another on flood relief before the year is out. The economic loss will run from $200,000,- 000 to $400,000,000. “Every worker, every farmer, every investor in the United States,” Mr. Hoover declares, “will bear some part of the shock. All “engineering plans for flood control of the river must be revised.” _. Which brings us to the question of how to ac- -complish this end. And in this connection it is . Safe to say that a remedy on the scale that is nec- “essary to encompass the desired result, cannot be| teffected in a few months or even in a few years. There are too many ramifications of the problem,| -too many angles to be considered and weighed for | “there to be any final plan agreed’ upon at once.| But what the country is demanding is that some of the first steps be taken toward an eventual solu- tion of the problem. Such a proposal may be the bill called H. R. -6025, which would create a commission consisting of a chairman, three cabinet officers ex-officio, a #énator, a congressman and one “economist and ex- pert in matters relating to waterways and water *sresources as they affect agriculture, commercial and industrial development.” The bill proposes _ ‘that this body, with a subordinate “water board” < t should be given the measure as one de- r “to build for the future rather than be a survey the situation and produce a comprehensive ‘plan for the development of waterways and water of the United States for “every useful pose. ‘This bill embodies many features that would jthe first mother to swim the channel, the first baker | governments or jndtviduals of unlimited wealth and! unlimited confidence in the future of flying have been able to encourage this infant of transporta- tion properly, for the dreamers and visionaries— the begging inventors and pilots—have been men of brains rather than of money, and their chief liabil- ity has been the discouragement of the unbelieving. But aviation has succeeded in spite of its handi- caps, and is now ready for its merited boom. If the financial control of the industry is put in the hands of men as sane as the inventors and the fly- ers, there will be no grief. For the novice en- thusiast in matters of the air to rush in new and support the blue sky promoters can mean only dis- aster for the enthusiast and a setback for air prog- ress, Anything to Be First In the never-ending competition to be first at something or other, there is an inevitable crowd of | followers-up and second string great to trail along| after the heroes. There was the first man to sw the channel, the first woman to swim fhe channel, | to swim the channel, and now, it is reported, we are! to have the first twins to swim the channel, for the thirteen-year-old Zitenfield sisters are to make! the attempt at least. } Should they succeed, there is still room for other | glory.

The first mother and son, or} father and daughter combination can attempt it, and! the first entire family to do the trick will be wortia $1000 a week or more on any vaudeville stage. | War Is a Compromise With further limitation of naval armaments pos- | sible as a result of the Geneva parley now under way, a recent chance remark of Sir John Simon, great English lawyer, is unusually appropriate | Speaking before a British peace society, this jurisi| declared that the greatest curse of war was not its | cruelty cr its crippling expenditure, but the fact| that it could never be relied upon to produce justice. | War, in other words, is in itself a compromise. Under a treaty it may give the conquering power the terms that it dictates, but there can be no guar- antee that a later war will not make the conquered conquerer and reverse a previous treaty of peace. | This is but another way of saying that the ag- gressor usually gets.it in the neck in the long run. | The measure of a nation’s civilization is in its will- | ingness to compromise in the first place, thus sav-/| ing war. A Canadian Paradise The Peace River country, described as “the last! great agricultural frontier of the western Canadian plains,” is attracting the home-makers from the older settled parts of the Dominion and fcom our own middle west and Pacific Slope. A movement of American farmers to take up fertile lands in western Canada has been going on for several years. In the prairie states, lowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, the Dakotas, farm values are now s0 high, and in some cases the holdings are so large, that ownership is denied to those who have more of the pioneer spirit than money. Canada wel- comes them to the Peace River country. It is al- ready famous for the richness of its soil. Its cli- mate is surprisingly temperate for latitude 55 to 59 degrees north. The tract suitable for cultiva- tion has an area of 73,500 square miles. It is larg- er than Ireland, Scotland and Wales combined. Add Delaware and West Virginia to Pennsylvania, and the Peace River country is found to ‘be more extensive. The six New England states have a small- er area. What is known as the Peace River Block takes up the northwesterly part of the Province of Alberta, and goes over the ‘line into British Colum- bia. “Its development,” says F. H. Kitto of the Royal Geographical society in a pamphlet upon the | resources and opportunities of the Peace River | country, “is merely getting under way, and the im- | mediate future promises to witness rapid strides. In the whole district there were only 2,000 in! itants in 1911. Ten years later 18,000 more peo- ple had found their way into it. And yet Peace River dates back to 1792, when Alexander MacKen- | zie of the Northwest Company, after whom one of | the greatest river systems in the world was later named, ascended: Peace River to the spot where the present town of that name stands, a flourishing en- trepot. But for more than a hundred years the wealth of the country consisted of furs. Formerly it was known as New Caledonia, Some of the old trading posts still do business. Far north as the Peace River table lands lie, they are more valuable; for the growing of grain. Of the climate Mr. Kitto | says: “The air is pure and bracing—in winter clear and crisp and in summer dry and balmy. Extremes of temperature, sudden changes and severe storms, are very rare. The winters are by no means mild, bu: are very dry, with clear skies, little snowfall and moderate winds. Blizzards are unknown, and the mild Chinook winds occasionally work through the mountain passes from the warm Pacific, giving pleasing respites of balmy days to break the monot- ony of a steady cold.” Ice goes out the latter part of April, or early in May. Most of the rain falls in June, July and Au-| gust, the annual precipitation being twelve to six- teen inches. Early in August grain is ready for harvesting. There is often mild weather up to! Christmas. Vegetation is luxuriant. Grasses, ce- “make it very valuable legislation. Careful on- stop-gap at the present time.

The trees are mainly white ‘spruce, black spruce, tamarack, balsam poplar (balm of Gilead), fir and willow. Among the wild fruits are red raspberries, high-bush cranberries and saska- toons. Most of the country is still wooded, but, the timber being light, it is easily brought into cultiva- tion. A prediction is made that the Peace River country “will ultimately be one of the world’s great gtain-producing areas.” Edmonton, a thriving city, is the gateway.
