State Royal NeighbOr Meeting

spending several days at Spring
! field, where Mrs. Davis attended
the state camp of Royal Neigh
bors of America as delegate from
Laclede camp.
The state camp was held in
the chamber of commerce build
ing and is said to have been the
most harmonious and business
like state camp ever held.
Mrs. Davis was chosen as one
of the state deputies to assist in
the adoption of a class of 35 can
idates. The district deputies
filled the stations and put on
the work. There were 400 pres
ent.
The supreme delegates elected
from the second district were
Ida Davis of Laclede and
Margaret Loney of Chillicothe.
Through the efforts of Deputy
Davis Linn county was further
honored by the election Of Mrs.
Maude Webb of Linneus as state
vice oracle.
The delegates unanimously en-
dorsed Mrs. Anna Shepherd of
Miss ouri for reelection as mem
ber of supreme board of man
ayers.
A resolution was passed in
favor of abolishing the five su-
preme physicians and having
only one and she to have Office

thought, will greatly simplify

tions.
The supreme camp will meet
in Cleveland, Ohio the first week
in May and Mrs. Davis is max
ing arrangements to attend.
The next state camp will be
held at Columbia.
The following state officers

done, its success being in something
like inverse ratio to the publicity at

The Oriental Trade Slump

Two valuable lessons on the financ-
ing of international trade may be
drawn from the quick shift in the
commercial position of the Orient,
which In the space Of a few months
transformed India and Japan from
creditors to debtors on balance.
japan had had little experience in
large financial matters prior to the
war, but when her exports jumped
far beyond her imports and piled up
credits for her abroad she was wise
enough to leave the funds In Ameri-
can and European centres until they
could be taken home without dis
turbance to the foreign exchanges.
The course followed by India was
exactly the opposite. She insisted on
spot cash in settlement of the excess
Of exports over imports which accrued
In the years prior to 1920.
Official figures Of the foreign trade
Of India and Japan have just been
published. Compared with 1919 the
position for last year stands as fol-
lows 100000 omitted):

Don't Be Afraid of Typhus.

To the debate now in progress over
the appearance In this country of a
few imported cases of typhus the
American Medical Association Journal
makes this valuable contribution of
good sense:
Certainly there is no cause for
typhus phobia or for hysteria."
1t is the assurance Of this compe-
tent authority that there is no cause
for a typhus phobia or for hysteria"
which now deserves the particular at
tention of all citizens. There is no
danger of an epidemic of typhus In
New York city or In New York State
or in any other State of the Union.
There is danger, however, that con-
dition approaching hysteria may be
created by the exciting outgivings of
persons In official place who do not
weigh their words. We experienced
such a condition In the infantile par
alysis scare; It's evils might be re-
peated in typhus scare. Conse-
quently we should be on our guard
against sensationalism and its pro-
moters who In ignorance or needless
ness or excess of solicitude overstate
the dangers to which the community
Is exposed.
The New York herald., 1921-02-24

In the early part of 1920 the par
value Of the Indian rupee was
changed from 33.24 cents to 1886
cents by making it convertible into
the English pound at the rate of 10
TO the sovereign, instead of 10, the
rate prevailing before. This brought
the rupee almost up to the par value
Of the japanese yen, 1913 cents.
Before the end of 1920 the pressure
en- India caused by the necessity of
paying for the excess Of imports car
ried the rupee down to "a cents in the
late months of the year, as compared
with high of 4S cents in March. But
the japanese yen held firmly around
its par value and even went above
that figure. although Japan also was
under necessity Of paying for her ex-
cess of imports, which was larger than
India's.
The position OF the two monetary
units In the international money mar
ket accounts for the difference In the
credit ratings now current for japan
and India. II Is next to impossible TO
get credit for merchandise shipments
to India, but in the case Of japan no
such difficulty exists.
Internal characteristics OF India
are In large measure responsible for
this condition and for the inability
Of that country to support It's cur
rency In the foreign exchange market.
The millions Of dollars In gold and
silver poured Into India during the
war to finance shipments TO America
and TO the Allies was Immediately
passed to the people, greatly increas-
ing the quantity Of metallic money in
circulation. As usual, however. this
precious metal was boarded or melted
down and cast into jewelry.
When trade became unfavorable the
Central Bank. which had been created
by the consolidation Of the Presidency
hanks. was unable to Issue other than
fiat money to ease the credit strain,
and the gold standard established last
year existed in name only. To-day
