PRACTICAL TYPHOID

campaign affords another illustration
of the value of the national public

the cotton industry has drawn into
New England many thousands of for

What cotton has been to New Eng

The vast wealth of that country has
to very large extent been created
out of cotton. To it's great cotton in

made out of coal and iron. Without
these three interests 1t would never
have been possible for Great Britain
to have won its way to its dominating
power in the commerce and finance of
the world. Coal and iron are largely
responsible for the wealth of Ger

the foundation on which has been
raised the vast industrial structure of
these countries.

SOUTH IS ON THE EVE OF A
VAST INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION

We are on the eve of vast indus
trial expansion in the south, says the
Manufacturers Record. About 1886
the south commenced to show signs OF
industrial revival. In the next ten
years it made very considerable prog.
ress. 1t shared in the benefits as well
as in the losses which resulted from
the worldwide real estate and town
lots speculative fever of 1885 to 1892.
The fever ranged in the west and on
the Pacific coast in Canada and in
South America more violently than in
the south. 1t stimulated the people of
the south into a speculative activity
which, though it resulted in some
good, left many wrecks behind when
the general collapse came about in
1882. Unfortunately for the south
there followed, though having little
direct connection with it, a serious de-
cline in the price of its chief staple
cotton. From 1891 to 1900 cotton sold
at so low price that it is questionable
whether the south at large in that
whole period made a dollar on its cot
ton production. In fact, if the de-
terioration of its soil at that time be
taken into account, it is altogether
probable that the south in that ten
year period lost heavily through the
raising Of cotton. 1t was a time of
great agricultural depression, and 30
far as the south was concerned of gen.
eral business stagnation until 1896.
About ten years ago there came a
marked improvement in the cotton sit
uation. Low prices were followed by
steadily advancing figures. For the
last i've or six years this crop has
averaged about $7O0,OOO,OOO or $780,.
OO0OOO year against $500, 10000 to
$4OO 100000 for the decade ending with
1900. The crop of 1910 was worth to
the farmers of the south over $1,000.

The south can beat California in
citrus fruit raising and Oregon and
Washington in apple growing. Even
now the value of the agricultural out
put of the south is greater than the
total value of the farm products of the
United States in 1890. In that year
the farm crops of the whole country
yielded a total of $2,46O,O 100000. In
1911 the total value of the agricultural

TYPHOID IN N0RTHOME

= Many Seriously III.
CHILDREN SENT TO COUNTRY

- Twenty-one cases of typhoid are
reported as being under the care of
physicians at Northome. The cpl
demic, which started several weeks
ago with two or three slight cases,
has gradually swept the town until
now there is said to be hardly fam

members on the sick list.
Travellers who have been to North

ity for the above statements. They
say that the disease has already
caused death and that other lives are
despaired of. Mrs. Martin Engle-
king is reported as being low and was
not expected to live through last
night.
In order to escape the ravages of
the disease, many families have sent
their children out into the country
and at one farm there are eleven
children being cared for, the oldest
being nine years of age. 1t is said that
the cause of the epidemic cannot be
found and that the sick have been
taken with the hardest form of the
disease.

BIRTHDAY OF "OLD GLORY"
Washington, D. c., Ju

Washington, D. c., June a.
Flag Day, the anniversary of the
adoption of the red, white and blue,
as the national emblem, was more
generally observed i: the national
capital today than ever before. From
public buildings, business houses and
thousands of private residences, Old
Glory waved triumphantly. Penn
sylvania avenue, always the main
artery of the capital. was today es-
pecially the current where the stream
of national pride showed itself. Hun
dreds of flags were floating on both
sides of the thoroughfare.~ Special
exercises in observance Of the day
were held at several of the govern
ment department offices and in all of
the public schools.
The American flag was adopted by
Congress one hundred and thirty-five
years ago today. There has long
been a dispute as to who originated
the design of the flag. George Wash
ington and Benjamin Franklin APP
proved the design, and Betsey Ross,
wife of John Ross, al upholsterer,
living in Arch street, Philadelphia,
made the one which the congress Of
the original thirteen states adopted,
and it is the same flag today except
that a star has been added as often
as q new state has been admitted In
to the Union.
