DEADREAT ADVERTISERS,

Webster City Freeman journal
Certain automobile manufacturers
must look to their laurels lest they
lose their well earned reputation as
successful seekers after free advertis-
ing. As deadbeats in that line they
have had no competitors since the rail-
roads passed under government control.
Now, however, one of the picture hlm
manufacturers is running the auto
deadbeats a close second. The paru-
cular free space seeker proposes to
pull OF a beauty hunt" at the expense
of the newspapers of the country. and
it is likely that some OF the "softies
will fall for his camoufaSe. The free
man Journal is in receipt OF advertis-
ing copy that at our regular rates
would amount to at least $1,000 and
we are asked to use it for the benefit
Of the Freeman Journal and incidental :
iy to create interest in the hunt. The
generous schener after this free ad-
vertising is proposing to give $1,000 to
some charitable institution in the town
where the beauty Is found and to
donate 800 to che Red Cross. For
this 81 100 he viii probably get at least
81 900 900 worth Of advertising. The
Freeman j ournal respectfully referred
the proposition to the waste basket.

Triangular Dispute at New Britain
 High School February 1.

An event of annual interest to the pupils and faculty of New Britain High school will take place on Feb ruary 1 when the pupils of New Britain, Hartford and New Haven Hig schools meet for the triangular debate. The subject for debate is supposed to be chosen because of it's timely interest and the debaters have chosen as their topic for discussion this year the question of the Federal Amendment stating their question, Resolved that the Federal Amend ment should be adopted at once"

The debate will take place on the same day in each of the three cities and the affirmative side of each school debates in it's own city.
 Those on the negative team of New Britain who will go to Hartford for debate are Israel Nair, leader, Edward Kalin, Maurice Marlowe and Thomas McDonough, alternate. The affirma- tive side includes Ernest Mucke, Cor nelius Pryor, Lawrence Doolittle and Mary Meyer, alternate.
 The contestants for the debate have been furnished with material my the Connecticut Woman Suffrage associa- tion. The question is particularly timely since the house has just passed the federal amendment and it will be soon taken up by the house.

RURAL DISTRICTS
 NURSING SERVICE
Must Be Had Ii Infant Mortality
 Is to Be Decreased

Washington, Jan. 12.-Rural dis tricts must have nursing services. the children's bureau finds, if infant mor- tality in remote regions is to be re- duced and human life conserved at this time when the nations human resources are beiS wastd by war. Re- suits of the bureaus first detailed study of the care available for babies and mothers in rural communities were made public today, showing that one infant in every twenty-five of the section observed failed to survive, or that four per cent of all children die before they reach the age of twelve months.
 The bureaus first survey was com p1eted in a prosperous county of southern Kansas, bordering on Okla homa. Similar studies are in progress in Wisconsin and North Carolina. The population in the Kansas county is widely scattered, but no home is more than 20 miles from doctor, and tel ephones and good roads minimize the disadvantages of great distances.
 Tn spite of these favorable circum- stances the report records that tWo- thirds of the mothers had no medical care before their children were born and more than one third had no visit from a physician after the day of the birth. Four-ffths of the wives of farmers had to work for large farm crews at the time when they specially needed to conserve all their strength.
 While the existing death rate is comparatively low for this county, the report says: '"The existing rate should not be regarded with complacency. for, as Sir Arthur Newholme says, If ba bies were well born and well cared for, their mortality would be negli- sible. Tn other words, there is no inherent reason why babies should die in a community which has all the advantages possessed by this county country life, healthful climate, high standards of living. a high level of in telligencc about matters of health and m cans wherewith to provide for it's mothers and babies"
 Tn other states where surveys are in progress, it has been found that poverty and remoteness, with the at tendant evils of which maternal and infant deaths are 8 striking index, press with a severity unknown in this Kansas county.
 Nurses, doctors, hospitals and con- ference centers, making aVai1a ble to all mothers and babies in rural coun- ties adequate medical and nursing care, are declared essential by the bureau. The Kansas county has made progress carrying out certain of the suggestions, but the next step, says the report, may well be the establish ment of a nursing service for the rural parts of the county"

These accumulations have not been distributed as dividends; but are held as reserves against emergencies, when not actually engaged in enlargementS and new enterprises. So come peace or come war, the industrial outlook is considered particularly favorable. This week further encouragement was af- forded by the decision of the supreme court regarding stock dividends.
 The stock market is still subject to sharp nuctations, dependent almost entirely upon war news and develop ments at Washington. There has al- ready been a sharp rise in the leading industrial and railroad issues, which tempted more or less realizing. The technical situation, however, is sound, and the general outlook favorable. AS so often stated, the country is prosper ous and likely to so remain, because Europe is largely dependent upon us TOT food, munitions, etc., and the de- mand from such sources must continue TOT some time to come. Both labor and capital are we'll employed at good wages, and no signs of reaction are in sight; unless for luXuries and ordinary building, both of which are temporar fly deferred. The financial situation is also satisfactory. Money continues reasonably easy war finance still be- ing the dominating factor. It is ru mored that the next loan may not be so large as at first expected, the Gov ernment having all the funds neces- sary for imro ediate requirements. The financial strength of the country is we'll illustrated in the last national bank call which showed resources of 1S1a billions on November 20, or 8 billions more than a year previous The total deposits were $14,798, 8,OOO,- 0CO, or 2,O39 millions more than year ago. The monetary situation is such as should at least permit the financing of dom estic enterprises to a moderate degree.

 Regarding the political situation Admiral von Tirpitz is reported as having said that all sorts of things might be possible, but that he did not think they would go so far as an agreement on an arnistice by which the operations of submarines could be paralyzed.
 He would not make a. staten ent dealing with the reported resignation of General von Ludendorff, the Ger man first Quartermaster-g general; but said he refused to believe that things would be allowed to go so far as to make it impossible for von Ludendorff and Field Marshal von Hindenburg to gain definite victory for Germany.

importance not only during, but after the war.
 We now have real melting pot There cannot but be a new feeling Of fellowship, of mutual interest, a bet ter understanding of other lives ana points of view. Fellow citizens will have a fresh significance. Of course, we had this experience in the ordeaA of the civil war. But then we were divided. This is the war of North, South, East, and West-the war or the reunited nation. And then we havo the later generations ana Ihe millions of newcomers, ana our young men of every race and conoltloh are being fused in the heat or a common preparation and common strife into a citizenry with common lnsplrat1on and ideal. It is hard saying, but it may well be that America needed this war to get rid to some extent ot the impurities of class distinction, of ra cial bigotry, and separateness, of urban provincialism and sectional sell fshness, and to give us the new Amer ica, with a better appreciation of our
 mutual dependence, of the necessity
 of cooperation, and of the worth of
 charac cter, regardless of race, or col-
 or or sex. or fortune.
 There cannot fail to be also a new sense of individual obligation to tho
 nation on the part of those thus conn., pelled to serve it. The selective serv- ice law has taught needed lesson of duty in democracy. And there is likely to be in the case of many who have misconceived our institutions, and their duty, g, new appreciation of the power of our government.
 What will be the reaction to this new impression of power? Will 1t be in favor of individual liberty, or in favor of @ larger measure of govern mental control over individual con- duct and property in the days of peace? l am disposed to think that in some degree there will be both re- actions. But I cannot escape the be-. lief that in the main the present ex- ercise of authority over the lives of men will hereafter find it's counterpart in a more liberal exercise of power over the conduct, opportunities and possessions of men.
 Among the 1O,00o,0O0 young men who have been registered under the draft act, there will probably be 8. host who are not likely to shrink at the application of power to others 1T they conceive it to be in the general interest the supremacy of which they have been bound to acknowledge. IT former conceptions of property right and individual liberty are to be main- tained in the years to come, it will not be through the same instinctive regard for them which has hitherto distinguished our people, but because it is the conviction that the common interest will be better served by free' dom of individual opportunity than by lettering it.
 Tn that field of controversy we shall have our campaigns of educa- ton, and what such campaigns may fail to teach we may be sure that ex- perience will teach. But individual privilege when challenged will have to show cause before a public to which old traditions are no longer controlling--a public trained in sacri- fice-which will have and enforce it's own estimate of the extent of the common right
