God bless you, Joyce. and give you

Have too much money myself. Feared

you as true success. Answer is yes.

great opportunity of yours-to prove

During the war the United States
loaned. England s4.2OO.OOO, 900. That
sum is now represented in our treas
ury by demand notes signed by the
British ambassador at Washington,
and reading, in part. as follows: This
certificate will be converted by the
government of Great Britain, if re-
quested by the secretary of the treas
ury of the United States, at par with
an adjustment OF accrued interest into
an equal par amount of per cent
convertible gold bonds of the govern
ment of Great Britain" In accord
anee with that provision the secretary
of the treasury has requested" Great
Britain to convert her notes into long
time bonds. a request which, accord
ing to a dispatch to the New York
World. has been refused unless it be
made conditional upon repayment to
Great Britain of loans made by her to
allied countries. Now what do you
think Of that? Must we continue to
pay taxes on bonds sold to provide a
loan to England while even the inter-
est due from that country remains un-
paid 1t is not the Yankee way OF
doing business.

ONLY FIVE HEALTH OFFICERS.
Every County Needs the Service Says
| Mrs. Mary v. Watts.

Only five counties in Kansas have
full time health officers, according to
Mrs. Mary ". Watts. publicity director
of the committee for child welfare
legislation, who has returned from a
trip to various parts of the state in
the interest of the committees work.
Many county laws provide that
health officers be employed full time
only during epidemics or emergencies.
There is need in every county for the
services of a full time health officer,
Mrs. Watts said. In many counties a
health officer who works only a small
part of his time on community santa
ton and health needs is paid from
three to five hundred dollars.
One of the principal objects of the
welfare legislation committee will be
to effect the passage of a state law
providing full time health officers for
every county.

1t seems unfortunate that an or
ganization Of manufacturers has
chosen this particular time to inau-
s,rate a. war on the "closed shop.
The need of industrial peace in this
country was never greater than it Is
TODAY. The present is no time to stir
nm such a controversy. Labor may be
depended upon to fight grimly. There
promises to be a repetition of the
strikes and lockouts that have SO
plaeued the industrial world since the
close of the war. This is a poor time
TO poke sticks into hornets nests, sug-
gests the Sioux City Tribune. Pro-
gressive business and progressive la
Dor can find a common ground. What
* needed is mutual understanding of
each others problems. Quoting SEN
ator Harding: 1.-The human element
comes first, and want the employers
In industry to understand the aspira-
lions. the convictions, the warnings
Of the millions of American wage
earners, and 1 want the wage-earners
to understand the problems, the anx-
ieties, the obligations of management
and capital, and all of them must un-
derstand their relationship to the peo-
pie and their obligations to the Re-
public. Out of this understanding Will
come the Unanimous committal to eco
nomic Justice, and in economic justice
lies that social justice which is the
highest essential to human happiness.
