OVER THIRTY BILLION DOLLARS

During the eighteen months of the
war the American people subscribed
eighteen billion dollars in Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Certificates,
and the banking institutions of the
country, and the people by taxes,
raised over twelve and one-half bill
lion dollars. And this huge inconceiv-
able sum was provided without in
any way hindering business or OPP
pressing single citizen of this great
country. On the other hand the en-
tire citizenship Of this country is
better off financially than before the
war, that is, all of them who had
the good sense to save and invest
their money.

SCHOOL HAS OPENED

The school opened on Monday, with
a much reduced attendance. Neither
the town council, nor the Board of
health have taken action, one way OF
the other. There is division of
opinion among the doctors rs to the
necessity of closing the schools,
churches and picture show as a pre-
ventive of the spread of the disease,
and also the same with the town
council, and the town has been left
to do and act as it choosed. Truth is,
neither the physicians or anybody
else seems to know very much about
this disease, as to how it is spread.
The theories Of today are exploded
by facts of tomorrow.
Tho physicians have been busy
treating patients--so much so as to
find little or no time to investigate
carefully and studiously, the nature
and spread of the disease. Weather
conditions seems to have little or no
influence. The disease is reported
to be raging at one and the same time
in Porto Rico and Alaska. In some
respects, physicians say, the disease
9resenb'e.s measels, and may be OF
some akin tforeto. The absence. of
eruptions being tine chief difference

Editor the News:
| note from your paper of late you
have made some illusions to the old
cow that had "lost her cud." Espec-
tally was | amused at your allusion
to the old practice of restoring the
cud TO the old COW. This recalls
many such that has come under my
observation. Now here is one | dare
you to PUBLISH:
You know when COW gets sick the
first remedy is purgative. This
happened here recently. John HIS
COW was sick. He commenced the us
ual treatment. Got no results. John
called on his ncighbor Bill thus:
Bill, my cow is very sicl, and has
been for sometime. can't get her

to do? Bill: Eyes, get her up and
drive her up on somebody's sidewalk

SOLDIERS LETTERS.
Albert Peery Came Through SAT-


On Active Service With the Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces, Dec. a.
My Dear Mother;
Almost six months now since q
regiment of Virginia boys boarded
the transport Finland, babe farewell
to the dear old States and sailed
away and on the 18th day from that
!lme gangplanks were being lowered
IN a French port and we landed on
foreign soil. We were happy bunch
then, indeed, not knowing the first
meaning of war and anxious to go
ana do our bit, and like all others
who went before US, we paid the
price to find out what we now know
Here, there and everywhere we are
to be found: Those who made the SUI
preme sacri!ice are lying up near the
once upon IL time Front: others nre
being brought back to health in tho
base hospitals, while some few of
US have been transferred, but any,
way | hope we have done our part
as well as the next one.
AS we are allowed now to write
most anything we want to, will tell
you little about my travels over
here. After spending ten days at st.
Nazarie, the place wei anded, We
were loaded on French train for n
4S-hour ride and then short hike.
stopping at a little village called
Larret, which became ID Company's
home for about three weeks. Then
boarding another train, we made our
way this time towards the Alsaicc
front, where the division took over
u sector where we spent two months.
This was all trench warfare.
Alsacc-Loraine, the garden spot of
france, ana indeed it is the most
beautiful contry | have ever seen.
ms Tune we were moved by rail
again, loaded up ut Bclfort, Zone of
FRANCES largest towns), and moved
up as one OF the reserve units of the
l,rst American army up on the Yer
dun Metz sector. We were used as Il
reserve unit until the night of the
oth OF October, when we were moved
up and took over sector Ten miles
north of Verdun.
On the morning of the 7th, Just rs
the first rays of light made its an
pearance from the East, we marched
into "No Mans Land" one that had
stood the tests of 1914 and 1916 and
for % days we pushed forward thru
RUN ana nuu. AL llrSt we were met
altogether by Austrians, which made
the going pretty easy, but after a
couple of d:ys Toy were withdrawn
and from then on we met Prussian
Guards-thcy would stay by their
guns to the last minute.
The worst thing we lad to contend
with up there was artillery fire, al
though machine guns were plentiful
and lots of gas, but the gas was kept
down, to great extent by the damp
weather.
Now, this is only routine of what
has happened when | was around
minus lots of things and the hikes
too, which | know have covered hun
dreds of miles, but as its all over Pm
more than glad that was Il member
of the 10th U. S. N. G.
This leaves me well and getting
on fine, and hope you can say The
same when it reaches you
With much love to all.
Your son, ALBERT.

DON'T "BACKSLlDE."

Last year the people of the coun-
try generally, in every town, ham
let and ncighborhood, responded nobly
to the calls of the government, to
make more and save more on the
farm, in the home, and give more
all that the great war should be fin
anced and carried to successful
termination.
The result is history, and amazing
history it is. We surprised ourselves
and everybody else. In the mean
time health improved, bank deposits
increased from our savings, We ate
our cake and kept it at the same time.
We loaned our money to Uncle Sam
at n good rate of interest. He used
it to whip Kaiser Bill. We sold
our farm products to Uncle Sam like
wise, at II big price, we dug more
coal than ever before and sent ships
steaming across the sea with soldiers
and stuff to feed them and the Allies.
All of this we did and more, all of
which will perhaps never be told. Now
the question is, shall we backslide
and drop back into our old ways of
extravaganza and Indifference?
What we have done can be done
again, over and over. We can not
only do as well, but better than last
year, and be happier and healthier
thereby.
Shall we, or shall we not be among
the backsliders and return to our old
ways?

OBJECT TO JAZZ
MUSIC IN RINK

New York, March ga portion
Of Broadway's aesthetic sense is al
ready aroused against that ubiquit-
Gus, syncopating, Misunderstanding
child Of Rag Time, the Jazz. Irene
Fenwick has registered an objection.
So has. Minnie Madden Fiske's niece,
Emily Stevens. As for Dudley Buck,
he begs to differ from his brother
composer, Irving Berlin, to the eX-
tent Of stating that there isn't even
any art in Jazz music.
All this came to public attention
when Irene, Emily, Dudley and other
talent presented petition to Magis-
trate Nolan in the West Side Cour'
the other day. Most of the aftera-
nanner-of-sp speaking geniuses who
live in the near artistic colony OF the
upper sixties, and Central Park West
ioined in this petition, asking that
the manager Of the daily dancing
carnival in the old St. Nicholas Rink
be forcibly reformed as to his mu5i-
cal taste.

M'sieur William Henri lay, the sing

when he exclaimed in court: "You
