The county clerks say that many
additional duties have been placed
upon their shoulders for which they
are allowed no pay by law yet wnicn

are OF the opinion that the legislature
should take hand in the matter and
provide pay for work that is rendered,
: The issuance of hunting licenses is
cited as one example. Last year
something like $4,000 such licenses
we're issued by the county clerks OF
West Virginia and for doing this work,
which calls for the employment OF
many additional deputies, the county
clerks receive nothing. Besides max

Sir Edward Carson Declares in House of
Commons Britain Will Have to
Contend with America
After the War.

London, Jan. l4.--Sir Edward Carson
former attorney general, described the
rise of the United States as creditor
nation in vigorous speech in the House
of Commons as the debate was closing
late Wednesday night.
"There viii be great sitting for a
time, at all events, of the centre of
commercial power in the world" he
said. "We shall have TO contend with
the great friendly nation in the west,
which before the war was a debtor ma
ton. After the war it probably will
be the chief creditor nation of the world.
There will be danger for while that
a great preponderance of gold and cred

extent the working out of the great mat

The one great lesson of the war, Sir
Edward said. was that international law,

PLEA TO SAVE
INDIAN BABIES
Commissioner Makes Appeal, Declaring
That Three Fifths of Infants Die
Before the Age of Five
Years.

Washington, Jan. l4.In an appeal en-
titled, "Save the Indian Babies" sent
out yesterday to every employee Of the
United States Indian service, Cato Sells,
commissioner OF Indian affairs, cited sta
tistics to show that approximately
three ffths of the Indian infants die be-
fore the age of five years.
"Of what use to this mournful NOR.
tally are our splendidly equipped Indian
schools?" he asked.
Pointing out that the re-establishment
of the health and constitution of the
Indian children is the basic condition
which makes for the perpetuation of the
once sturdy race, Commissioner Sells de-
clared that the campaign for better ba-
bies calls for redoubled energy and zeal
the service.
In outlining his plan the commissioner
urged the elimination of what he termed
the 'intolerable" conditions that infest
some Indian homes and extension of the
propaganda against disease.

INDUSTRY FOR BELGIAN WOMEN.
For Making Surgical Dressing is the
Thing Desired Now.
70 the Editnr.

TO the Editor:
Dear Sir--Tn your columns you have
very kindly given me space for my plea
on behalf of the Belgian war refugees
industry in London. This industry is
proving to be remarkable solution of
the terrible economic and moral prob
lens confronting an uprooted, destitute,
and suffering people.
| now come to ask your readers who
have helped, and are helping me so gen
erously, to extend their interest little
further by getting contributions of mon
ey, however small, to assist in starting
for Belgian women a small industry for
making surgical dressings.
1t is fitting to employ these women
in supplying the needs of the armies in
which their husbands and sons are fight
ing, and serves the double purpose of
giving them much-needed assistance, and
of increasing the output of surgical
dressings, for which, alas! the demand
is unlimited.
Miss Olive Shines will gladly receive
of money addressed to her
at 40 Chestnut street, Boston, Mass.
The war refugees committee in London
have written through Mrs. Erskine Chill
ders that they viii be delighted to un-
iertake the management of the indus
try at that end. They will be deeply
grateful for help.
Yours very truly,
Gretchen Warren.

Senator Weeks was born in our state,
he is loved and honored by every one,
and now that the opportunity presents
itself to express our confidence in him,
we shall do so very emphatically. His
early training in the navy, supplement-
ed by lifelong study of the navy's
needs, has fitted him as no other presi-
dental candidate is fitted for dealing
intelligently with the question of pre-
paredness. His long and admirable bus
mess career has given him practical
training that would be a tremendous as
set to the country as president, and his
marked success ix.public life gives every
assurance to the country that with
Weeks in the White House, the execu
tive and legislative branches of the gov
ernment would work together with in
spring harmony for the good of the ma
ton. So far as New Hampshire is con
cerned, our mind is made up. We are
for Senator Weeks for president, and it
will be a proud day for that state. and
a fortunate one for the United States
if the Massachusetts man is placed at |
the head of the government"
