The county's quoto was 83a7,400, so the county oversubscribed its quoto by a very handsome margin. The huge sum of money was loaned the government by 3632 individuals and corporations and gives the county a very aide distribution, a thing the government asked for. The credit for this Splendid showing go to the County Central Committee, with Chairman JohnD. Peters and Secretary W. J. Lowe at its head, the County Canvassing Commit..., with Denmark Jensen at its head and each of the respective precinct canvissing committees, all of which did valient service in laboring with the citizens to encourage ihem to purchase bonds. And then the splendid patriotism of the people themselves is another evidence of the greatness of this big county, for the people loyally arose to the situation and invested their money in sums sufficiently large to bring the county over the line with a good safe margin to go on. The five banks of the county placed 9397,400 of the grand total, which is not placed to the credit of the citizens of Box Elder county in the national savings bank to be drawn upon in the future. The -- outhem . railroad assigned f 14,600 of the subscription of its employees to this county, the purchase being made direct with the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco, and that brought the grand total up to 9409,300. Mighty few precints of the county failed to reach their allotment. All the banks oversubscribed their district allotment, the over subscription of the majority of the precints making this possible at the same time making up for those precints which feel down. The county is to be congratulated; the workers and the people are to be congratulated. .Box Elder County has done its bit in putting the state way over the top by a big margin. DOCTORS ARE IN BED. .

Republican Platform. committee on platform and resolutions begs leave to report as follows ot Box Elder The Republicans assembled reconvention in county affirm their devotion and allegience to the principles and policies of the Republican party and renew their endorsement to its sturdy and illustrious patriots and leaders Lincoln, Taft and Roosevelt. We subscribe, without reservation, to the doctrine that this is no time tor compromise citizenship. Regardless of race or creed, we favor an absolute and thorough-going support of the rich elements of American civilization which have come to us through our rich past. We reqognize the fact that the big issue before the world today is the winning of the world war. Anything short of dictated peace we will not have attained that end for which we have given the flower of our manhood. We are conduct of the for a war and insist that it is neither just nor fair to claim for the successful achievement of our arms or the supplying of the same, a partisan color. It iB not a Democratic war nor a Republican war it is a world war, waged for the perpetuation and maintenance of the cherished and hallowed ideals of civilization and we condemn and denounce the efforts of those who would make of this great conflict a partisan issue. We point with pride to the fact that the Republican party lent its has, without reservation, entire and unqualified support to the President of the United States in his conduct of this tragic conflict We point with pride to the fact that Your whole-heartedl- non-partis- 1111 y COUNTY It is now evident to everyone that the Influenza situation demands intelligent as wee as drastic attention in this city. One by one our doctors aro tailing victims to tlie malady as the result ot there heroic efforts to relieve others and every individual citizen must do some serious thinking for themselves. I present to you once more the following suggestions which should be kept constantly in mind and observed under all conditions: DO NO VISITING AND ALLOW NO VISITORS. Keep out in the sunshine and fresh air &3 much as possible. Keep yourself warm and maintain a circulation of fresh air through every room in the house at all times. DO NOT PERMIT YOI'RSELF TO BECOME CONSTIPATED. While you are on the street do not sssemble in crowds and KEEP A REASONABLE DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER SO YOU WILL NOT GIVE OR RECEIVE EACH OTHERS BREATH. Every one working in a public capacity should wear a mask and all masks should be boiled at least half an hour every day. If you feel a sudden chill followed by muscular pain, headache, backache, unusual tiredness and fever GO TO BED. DONT TRY TO RESIST IT BY ATTENDING TO YOUR WORK A FEW HOURS LONGER or the will surely get you, and besides, you are exposing your friends. Report every case immediately to your doctor or to myself.. We need nurses badly and I appeal to each Ecclesiastical Ward for volunteers. Nurses in attendance on sick people should wear a mask and the sick person should be isolated from the rest of the family. Our local Red Cross can provide me with a limited number of masks, one of which I will be pleased to take to every home of affliction and you can make more after the pattern. JOHN H.
