INFLUENZA BILLS
ARE NOT EXCESSIVE

Today the county court will most
likely conclude the auditing Of bills
made necessary by the recent influen-
"a epidemic in the town and county.
Despite the many exaggerated reports
TO the contrary the expense of fight
ing the devastating scourge will not
be more than 81 500 or $1,S00 and
when one considers the great loss Of
life and the fact that only this prompt
action saved perhaps as many more
from death, the cost is insignificant.
Once before in the History of Berke-
ley county a smallpox epidemic, re-
sulting in comparatively few deaths,
cost the county $4,000.
A detailed report is expected to-
morrow.

Such growth In foreign trade has

The People Are Saving.

The English have not been consid-
cred saving nation, and one of the
most notable examples of the effect of
patriotism on whole people was the
fact that during the year 1916, although
purchasing billions Of dollars of war
bonds, the small savings banks deposit
ors in England increased their deposits
over $60,000,0Oo.
The patriotic appeal to the Ameri-
can people for war savings has met
with similar response. Statistics for
the year 1917 are not yet available,
but reports from various sections of
the United States indicate that men,
bership and assets in cooperative
building, or savings and loan assoeia-
tions, increased at least 10 per cent. the
same rate of increase for the year 1916
and about the average rate of increase
for the last 10 years.
The small savings-bank accounts
show q similar increase in numbers of
depositors and amounts of deposits
Sales Of war-savings stamps also show
great growth of the habit of saving
The American people have responded
to the call of duty to economic and
| save. They have not only purchased
nearly $4,000, 100000 of Liberty loan
bonds and war savings stamps, but
IN addition they have increased theil
| savings as above shown. Patriotism
and saving are synonymous now, and
economy is duty, and many millions
of American citizens are doing theil
duty in this particularly. s. Bulletin

Question IS to Whether He Should

Professor Holton OF Kansas Agricul-

country preacher should know more OF
modern agriculture and sociology and
perhaps less OF medieval theology"
We are not entirely in sympathy with
this ultra modern view Of the country
church. If there is any reality in re-
ligion, then the church ia more than q
mere institution for community culture.
1t is, or should be, gospel shop" It
is temple, and not mere building
where oyster snppers may be held. with,
maybe. a boys club and gymnasium in
the basement
The preacher should be something more
than the captain OF the baseball nine and
sort of underpaid county agent, teach
ing modern agriculture to his practitioners

that while the man is away the British
government pays to his family or DE-
pendents in China certain sum, which
varies according to the man $ pay in

The war correspondent further re-
ports the establishment by England Of
savings banks to encourage thrift
among the Chinese laborers. In their
leisure hours they like the movies, par
ticularly Charley Chaplin. They cook
their own food, consisting of rice, meat,
bread, vegetables and bacon, and sp-
pear to be we'll nourished. Their be
havior is beyond reproach. The colonel
in charge of the receiving camp, who
distributes gangs for building roads
handling freight, and building barracks
at which they excel, is enthusiastic in
their praise. Work is done under mill
tary supervision, and discipline is not

in the advertising space how TO use the

brought out by John Lee Mahin in an
address delivered before the Advertis-

Mahin showed how an advertising

investment for the advertiser, how il

He showed how the decreased pro-
duction resulting from the war should
not bring about decreased advertising
appropriations, but rather that adver.
