The Last Drive

The coming Victory Loan will be the last.
 One more big job to pay for the victory-or the immediate de- mands of victory-and Liberty Loans will be history.
 There must be no tagging by the American people in the drive that will come in April. It will not be a time for excuses.
 The same spirit that character ized the last hour of fighting be- fore the armistice went into effect should be shown by the stay-at- homes for whom the Tanks fought in France.
 Here is the official report of operations in those last few hours of the war:
 ''The 3rd Division advanced 3 kilometers east of Breheville. Despite increased resistance by machine gun and artillery fire the 5th Division continued to ad- vance, capturing IS prisoners, 5 large calibre guns, 6 mlnenwer- ferS and considerable material. In accordance with the terms of the armiStice hostilities on the front of the American armies ceased at Il A. 2Al "
 The Tanks didn't shirk that last job. Many gave their lives with peace a matter of minutes away. Every American at home worth the victory won Dy those boys in khaki will work as hard in the coming loan as in the first.
The St. Johns herald., 1919-02-06
Excitable Talk

We hear much excitable talk that wages must not come down.
 No sane man wants to see the wage earner (and we are all wage earners) lose either work or wages.
 But a sane man recognizes the fact that prices for commodities and labor are on an artificial! oasis
 Commodity prices are already beginning to drop and with world competition returning, the read justment downward will come faster than many expected.
 No man made rules can stop for long the inevitable working of the law of supply and demand and when the time comes, labor and industry must face conditions and adjust their relations ac- cordingly or unemployment and closed factories will follow.
 Strikes and lockOutS w Il only aggravate the case and give fore Ign competitors added advan- tages. Industrial News Bureau.

Spanish Influenza

Since the scourge of Spanish influenza has been running at large within the boundaries of the United States, the people have had ample proof of it's terri ble raVages and of the fearful toll in lives that it has taken.
 For long time there were no steps taken to prevent the spread of this fearful malady and peo- pie by the hundreds suffered from it, many dying and others suffer- ing untold agony fromits effects.
 In some of the towns steps are being taken to try to hold it in check and fromallreports, where ever these steps are taken in time much good has resulted. We hear of some few towns quaran- timing against it and that they have escaped 1t thus far.
 It is a foregone conclusion that one to take the flu must of necessity come in contact with it personally, that is, a third person cannot carry 1t to you.
 Would 1t not be a good idea to quarantine our town now while we are free from this scourge. Other towns within the state are are suffering from a second at tack of the influenza and this second attack seems to be more vicious than did the first one, and we all know that the first attack was bad enough here in St. Johns. Why wait until we are in the tolls again before we quarantine.
 A quarantine could be main- tained with very little expense to the county, and parties who have to go out of town on business could do so but upon returning they should Ee made to stay at home for a few days until it is proven that they have not been exposed.
 You know that there is an old adage, and it is a good one, that an ounce of prevention is better than pound of cure" :" Why not take this for a motto and try and live up to it. It most assuredly would prove the cheapest in the long run.
 One has only to think of the the terrible war that we have passed through and compare the death rate with that of the infu- enza to know that war is not half so fatal as the ravages of the Spanish influenza.
