THE WARS TOLL OF LIFE.

In the first six months of the war,
2,146,O00 men were killed, 100000
were seriously wounded, $3.50
were slightly wounded, and 1,764,O0O
were taken prisoners. These figures,
said to be based on Red Cross reports,
include the losses of only the larger
nations, those of Belgium, Serbia,
Montenegro and Turkey being omit
ted for lack of authentic records. The
estimates for the fye great powe. =;
are:
Germany: $4,000 killed; $1,000
seriously wounded; 100000 slightly
wounded, and 23S, 1000 prisoners; total,
l,572,OOO.
Austria: $4,000 killed; $4,000 SER
;ously wounded; $4,000 slightly
wounded; $4,000 prisoners; total, l.
225,Oes.
France: 464,OOO killed; $4,000 ser
;ously wounded; $4,000 slightly
wounded; 495,OOO prisoners; total, g.
$4,000.
Great Britain: 10000 killed; $4,000
seriously wounded; $4,000 slightly
wounded; $4,000 prisoners; total, 433,-
900.
Russia: $4,000 killed; $4,000 SER
-iously wounded; 100000 slightly
wounded; 10000 prisoners; total, 81
4S5,OO0.
These estimates take no account of
the recent fighting in Galicia and on
the Gallipoli peninsula where losses
in men have been especially severe.
They serve however to indicate the
enormous human sacrifice which the
war exacts. We may almost believe
Irwin Cobb's grim phrophecy that il
the struggle continues another year,
half the men of Europe will be under
ground and the other half on crutch-
es. When to the millions of dead
and MANNED are added the tremen-
dous waste of treasure, the destruc-
ton of homes and industries and the
unspeakable sorrow of multitudes in
every land, the tragedy of the pres
ent war finds no parallel Exchange.
This is the terrible toll that the
7ar is taking. And this is for only
six months. There has been another
eix months and no doubt the toll in
hat time mas been even greater. The
total loss of the Germans and Aus
trians in killed, wounded and taken
prisoners has been 2,797,OO, willie that
II the allies totals 6,O34,OOO, little
more than twice as many as the Ger
mans and Austrians. 1t does seem
hat in this civilized and Christian
age OF, the world there might be some
way to stop this terrible carnage.

HERE'S A BUSINESS MAN.

Sedan, Kan, is just an ordinary
country town of some 1900 people.
But it has at least one real busi-
ness man.
His name is J. H. Edwards.
And now listen: Edwards spends
two thousand dollars with his local
papers in advertising-eyery year!
Has it paid him? Well, he went to
Sedan few years ago with but little
capital. He now owns a magnificent
store, a nice home, and big farm.
"We value our advertising enough
to make it a part of our assets he
says. "It is the live wire of any bust
ness, and a person can judge pretty
well the amount of energy behind a
business by the kind and amount of
advertising that business is doing"
When facts like the above spring up
every now and then all over the Unit
I'd States, publishers cannot help won
dering what it is that blinds the eye
of the average man to his possibilities
with printers ink-York News.
This is printed for the benefit of the
business men and merchants of New
berry. How to advertise is one thing
that some of the merchants of New
berry have not learned. If they would
just look around a little and see the
ones who are really succeeding and
making money they would be convinc-
ed that the money spent for newspaper
advertising was we'll and wisely spent.
In this day it is necessary to adver-
tise your business if you want to sue
ceed.
This is an age of publicity and the
best medium of reaching the people
is the newspaper and for the local
merchant the local paper is the proper
medium. Sometimes we think that the
local newspapers do not value the
space they have to sell as they should
and therefore it naturally follows that
40 one else does. We know that in
this town we sell space too cheap
but even at tnat advertising is not
what it should be. But we want the

There is no better move that could

looks to better sanitation. While we
have good health in Newberry still
there are number of places in which
the sanitation could be improved. The
civic association and the board of
health by cooperation could do muc[1

health could improve the appearance
of the city by having many places
cleaned and some Of the streets put
