er's low bid was a little less thar
two-thirds Of what the American
bid 80 perhaps at their rate il
would have amounted To but
$500 had they not padded it toe
badly for which the Poker has
a past record. According TO that
figure there would have been a
difference Of about $500. but a.
above stated the Poker's ex
tremely low bid (which would
not have paid cost Of produc.
tion) was placed to ward off the
American and to have some.
thing To kick about should IL
not be accepted.
Half of the truth is often As
bad or worse than a lie. The
four newspapermen forget to
tell what difference il would
have meant to the county tax
payers had there been only one
bid the new fun legal rate Of
9Oc and 4G. The difference be-
tween that and 35c and l5c
which the American bid is far
greater than the difference be
tween the Poker bid and the
American. And there would
have been but one bid had it not
been for the American. Enough
of the commissioners were able
To see through this and there
fore accepted our bid. Service
was of course also taken into
consideration as in the three
years that the American has
handled the county printing eve
rvthing has been printed on
time according to law and not
one hearing or legal proceedings
of any kind have had To be post
poned on account of errors In
publication. The county auditor
has not had To chase after prin-
ters' affidavits Of publication and
the like. Can this be said Of the
Poker and the other newspapers
The American is frank to adj
NIT that We were together with
the other newspapers of the
county on one bid last year This
was done because the board Oh
county commissioners did not ap-
preciate that the American had
stood pat against the combine ir
1920 and previous years. In 1926
there was plenty of evidence t.
show that the American was re-
sponsihle for the several bids
submitted that year but the
board would not listen and &C
copied the low bid of the Pine
Poker with the result that the
taxpayers throughout the county
are still waiting for the financial
statement and delinquent tas
list extra of that year. Hence
we went together with the othel
newspapers of the county ir
1921 with a full legal rate SO ths
board could see how they iket
one bid. There are of course al
SO arguments for the one bid 5,

seek an appropriation of $9,l25,OoO

laws during the next fiscal year, 1924,

gress for this purpose during the cur
rent fiscal year.
HAYNES was declared to take the
view that. while a larger sum could
be utilized in suppressing the liquor
traffic. the equivalent of the amount
now being expended would enable
the prohibition unit to carry on all
the activities now in force, including
his dry navy, which is to be expand
ed to enable Federal agents to take
advantage of the provisions of the
tariff act of 1922 permitting search
of vessels within II miles from shore

WINS TYPHOID PENNANT

Carroll county has won its third
consecutive pennant in DR.. John S.
Futon's Typhoid League" and can
be rightly termed the healthiest cOun
ty in Maryland. because experts be
lieve that typhoid fever is indicative
of the health OF any section.
Carroll county with population OF
34,245, leads off with a total OF seven
cases and one death in the first eight
months of 1922 Washington county,
population 1854, is second with II
eases and 2 deaths, Baltimore county.
population 74,S17. is third, reporting
22 cases and l death.
Dr. Fulton, secretary of the State
Board of Health, has for the last three
years charted the spread of typhoid
fever throughout the State. Carroll
county citizens have again lodged the
typhoid germs successfully and
wound up the season at the top of the
list.
The season actually ends in Sep
TENDER The middle of this month
sees the disease reach its height and
gradually decline until the following
spring.
Carroll county doesn't top that list
because of any acts of Providence
said Deputy Health officer w. &.
Stone of the Carroll-Howard-Anne
Arundel district this morning, but
because of the painstaking. minute
and scientific attention which attend
ing physicians give cases.
The proper means of prevention
is of the utmost Importance in keep
ing down the ravages of typhoid and
the Carroll county physicians adopt
the policy of caring for the whole
family when case of typhoid fever
appears"
The three shots in the arm" we'll
known to former soldiers, sailors and
MAJ ines. administered to prevent
typhoid fever, are largely responsible
for the standing Of Carroll county.
The family of the patient subject
themselves to three injections of anti
typhoid serum with the result that the
further spread of the disease is check
ed
The cases of typhoid in the cOun-
ties near the foot of the list have
been found to center in a compare
lively small number of families. This
indicates clearly that Carroll county
methods would have prevented a
large number of these cases.
