PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

The rapid spread of the Spanish
Influenza" in parts of the United
States and particularly in Missouri
has caused the Pennington school
management to exercise unusual care
that no afflicted children are permit
ted to remain in school. Plans were
formulated the first of the week and
explicit instructions, Endorsed by the
local Health Officer, DR.. f. S. Weber,
were placed in the hands of all teach
ers. In obedience to the instructions
issued all children suffering from colds
or other alarming symptoms that
might terminate in influenza are sent
home with requests to their parents
that such children be put to bed I'M
til the symptoms pass away. They
are also requested that physician be
allowed to examine the child and pre-
scribe for him if treatment seems
wise.
1t is believed that all reasonable pa
rents will fully cooperate with the
teachers in this matter, both for the
sake of the child and for the general
health of the community. A commit
tee of the Parent Teacher Association
visited the different ward rooms on
Tuesday and gave some important in
structions regarding the evasion of
the malady, and Mr.. M. P. Cayce, for
the local Red Cross, supplied the
school with some very much needed
literature on the subject and some pre-
cautions that are timely.
notes. ast
Extremen care is being taken to
keep the different school rooms as
sanitary as possible. Disinfectants
are applied every day to sterilize any
infection that may be left in the
rooms, and the crowding of unusual
groups in assembly will be avoided
until the epidemic has been checked.
The attendance for the first month
of school was very good. A general
average of 800 per cent was made by
the entire school. The highest at
tendance was made by Mrs. Lloyd's
room-98.77, while Mrs. Byington's
room was second with 1856. In spite
of the fact that several pupils have
been detained at home on account of
mild sickness in order not to endanger
others, the attendance this week is
holding up well.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES AT
THE STATE HOSPITAL

1t was my privilege and pleasure to
attend services in the spacious chapel
of the State Hospital last Sunday af-
ternoon.
, Rev. o. H. L. Cunningham preach
ed and with his usual tact in adapting
his words to the different classes Of
hearers, who might be present, deliv-
cred some very deep Gospel truths in
language child could understand.
My position being in the rear and
having newer attended religious SER
vices, under just such circumstances,
i allowed my. attention. to wander
about over the audience now and then.
There were many who sang as if
they enjoyed it and everyone came
out on the last word of the songs at
the same time, which is mere than l
can say of. some sane audiences.
! noticed young lady chewing
gum and looking about her just as
I've seen sane CD young ladies do
and then 60 home and tell us just
what Mrs. and Miss So and So wore
and its probable cost.
One poor fellow fell over in a fit or
faint and had to be carried cut, hut
the audience didn't seem disturbed,
not nearly as much so as an ordinary
audience would if harmless little
mouse should be turned loose in its
midst.
On the whole, came to the eonclu-
sion that there are lots of US out of
such institutions that ought to be in
and lot in that ought to be out.
Out of all the automobiles that were
spinning around the grounds ] won
der how many whose occupants ever
stop on visiting days and ask to see
those poor souls who never have any
friends to come and see them? As
far as they can think and reason they
do so Just like any one else and can
appreciate kindness just that far.
II we could get interested in help
ing our fellowman whenever we come
across him instead of just praying for
him and going on about our business
as if our duty was done, there might
not be the need of so many such In

On the local market butter is very
shy and difficult to round up, regard
less of price. But there is a reason.
For some time past butter fat has
been quoted on the local market at
about IS cents a pound, while the
price of butter as quoted, has been on
ly about 35 cents. Just how or why
such a wide margin should exist in
these prices The Times is unable to
state. But this, at least to very
great extent, is. the reason for the
shortage of butter on the local mar
ket. Cream producers prefer to sell
the butter fat for the splendid price
offered, rather than to convert it into
butter for the privilege of getting
something like 20 cents less per pound
for it. But good butter will now
readily sell for as much as cream is
quoted at. Yet is appears to be al
together reasonable that, even at the
same price, it would be good business
to sell the butter fat, instead of but
ter.

PART Of THE BIC
COST Of WAR IS
FINE INVESTMENT
EXPENDITURES BY OUR GOVERN
MENT FOR WORLD DEMOCRACY
NOW TOTAL $34,s3t ,7o2,47o.
NEARLY HALF TO COME BACK
Material Benefits to Come From Ships
and Industrial Plant invest
ments After War.

The preparations for the Fourth Lib
erty Bond issue have brought forward
a QUESTION as TO the cost Of the war up
to date. The actual expenditures to
date, and the estimated expenditures
for the fiscal year of the United States
ending June 80, 1919, aggregate war
expenditure OF sS4.331, 7o2, 40. accord
ing to the figures prepared by Theo-
dore H. Price in an article in The Out
look on "The War Costs and the War
Debt" ~
The article referred to probably is
cial situation as to the war that has
been presented. One OF the strange
features of the United States activity
In war preparations has been that the
gross authorizations of Congress have
been accepted as the actual cost Of the
war up to the present. AS a matter of
fact, the gross authorizations have not
been spent, and even of that portion
that has been spent there has been a
large part OF the expenditures which
ran be placed as an investment at 100
per cent instead of an appropriation
from which there is no salvage or re-
turn.
If worker in the ranks paid cash
for $4,000 home he could say that he
had spent $4,000. But it would be only
part of the truth. as he would still
nave the home, which would be worth
the amount he paid out, and with the
advance of time 1t would increase in
value and his investment would be
good one.
Big Investment Figures.
There are tremendous sums being
paid out for so-called war expendi-
lures, bit they are investments which,
after the war is over, are going to be
worth more than 100 cents on each
dollar spent.
When business man or a company
buys or builds steamship line, or
builds or buys a railroad, they have
spent that amount of money which it
costs to own the property. but they
still have the steamship or railroad

United States. Out of the sum total
of expenditures made by the governd
ment the United States, after the war;
is over and democracy reigns through
out the world, win own railroads that
have been constructed in France,
steamships that ply the oceans of the
world, docks from which the ships de-
part, warehouses in which the ship
ments are stored, cranes with which
they are loaded and unloaded.
The list of property also will include
large manufacturing plants throughout
the country which will turn from mu-
nitions and war supplies to needed
manufactured products which will re-
store the embattled world to a peace
full condition.
AS a matter of fact, the authorize
tons OF Congress will aggregate
$50, 600, O0O0 900 for the period from the
entrance of the war to the end of the
present fiscal year. June 80, 1919. The
first years expenditures show that
$685. 77,012 was spent an that
$50, 900 900 900 was approx ed for
the year ending June 80, /! hese

ment was authorized to sn" not
what 1t actually did spend
Not AT Wastase
A survey OF the figures ows that
the United States did or will spend
$50, SOC, 702. 470. II is proper to deduct
from this amount the cost OF the Unit
ed States government for the same
time on basis OF pre.war conditions.
This expenditure would have been
s2.365, 100000, which, deducted from
the amount actually spent Under war
conditions, makes the actual expendi-
lures because OF the war s34,331,.
702,470.
First Of all, $4,000, 100000 has been
or will be loaned to the Allied govern
ments at a rate of one-half of 1 per
in the United States. All Of these esti-
mates cannot be exactly correct, but
they are so close relatively that no ex-
ception can be taken to them. Ships
and shipyards have cost $2,750, 900, 900,
railways and other permanent invest
ments in France have cost $1,000,000,-
coo, funds for the railways in this coun-
try, for the war finance and grain cor
porations aggregate $1050,000 900,
army warehouses throughout the Unit
ed States 1928, 900, 900. with other per-
manent and valuable inVes Gments to
the sum of $972,o00,0OO. This is an ag-
gregate of sound investments Of &c.
600, 100000, leaving a total Of $1S,331,. .
702,470 which may be regarded as the
United States financial contribution
toward making the world safe haven
for democracy.
1t does not represent the sacrifices
which the mothers of the country are
making, because the blood shed is of
far more value than any financial con-
sideration. But the expendi. ure of life
and funds today will proven the great.
er sacrifice Of life and blood at some
time in the future.

Berry Letter in
Much Discussed Here

The letter of Bishop j. F. Berry
regarding the candidates for Repub-
lican nominations was much discus
sed here to-day, especially on Cap
itol HILL The bishop endorsed Sproul,
O'Neil and Guffey and regarding
Lieutenant Governor, said that while
Scott is not satisfactory to some he
prefers his stand.
Concerning the declaration the
Philadelphia Records says:
Up to the present, Scott has made
no open declaration in favor of the
national prohibition amendment, but
Bishop Berry is apparently satisfied
with the promise of the Fourteenth
ward Congressman that, if elected,
Scott will see to it that the prohibi-
tory amendment shall have an abso-
Lutte square deal, with good measure
thrown in Bishop Berry admits i'm
his letter that Scott has not been
identified with the temperance move
ment and that his record as a Grim
inal lawyer makes him Objectionable
to some of our people, The bishop
also states that, although Scott S
record is not satisfactory to some,
the definite pledge he has given to
safeguard the interests of the amend
ment, makes it clear that in the in
terests of ratification Mr.. Scott, rath-
er than Mr.. Beidleman, should be
nominated. Senator Beidleman has
gone on record with announcement
that he will be guided entirely by the
election of State Senators at the fall
election. In the event the majority OF
the twenty-eight Senators to be
chosen are elected on a dry plat
form, the Dauphin county candidate
declared he would be in favor of the
measure, should there be a tie vote
in the Senate"
