War and as a boundary dividing the
North from the South. This was a
somewhat natural conclusion at that
time 1861 to 1865, it then, in a meas
ure looked upon as referring to the slave
holding States and the non-slave- holding
States but the fact that the origin of the term
was closely connected with the early days of
America seems to be forgotten.
The Mason and Dixon Line originated in and
was the result of long and heated contro-
versy concerning boundaries, which lasted over
100 years. The charter of 1851 had given to
William Penn proprietary province somewhat
like Maryland. This grant OF land had the
disadvantage of having no outlet on Delaware
Bay, eventually Lord Baltimore gave Penn the
Duke of York's claim to what is now Delaware.
William Penn had received his grant of land
as payment for claim his father, Admiral
Penn of the British navy, held against England.
Admiral Penn was a close friend OF Charles
II and the Duke of York. The long disagree
ment over boundaries eliminated in final dis
pute between Lord Baltimore and William Penn
as to the dividing line of the southwest portion
of Pennsylvania and the northeast boundary of
Maryland, Lord Baltimore contending that
William Penn encroaching upon his terri
tory. Two prominent English surveyors Charles
Mason and jeremiah Dixon, were called upon
In 1853, to make the survey determining the
line known the Mason and Dixon
which was then thought to properly divide the
disputed area When completed this boundary
was described by them as that which lieth
under the 49th degree of north latitude from

War Cost The United States
$52,OOO,OOO,OOO

The tangible cost of the World
War to the United States, if the war
debts are collected, is fixed at $52-
000,O00,000 by Professor John M.
Clark of Columbia University in a
book published by Yale University.
The national outlay of goods and
service at the time of the conflict
is set ats $4,000, 100000. The eco
nomic burden of death and disability,
including loss of income to the affect
ed persons is given as $4,000, 900, :
300 with the same amount for COM
pensation of veterans and depen-
dents.
Should the United States be un-
able to collect its war debts, Profess
sor Clark estimated another $38, :
600, 100000, mostly principal and in
terest on the domestic war debt,
would be added to the total cost.

Bankers Help

In a report on banker-tarmer work,
H. Lane Young, Chairman Agricultural
Commission, American Bankers As
ISOLATION, shows that during the past
year there were 400 meetings reported
in 3S states, with total attendance of
3S,57S. County key bankers number
ing 2,541 were appointed in 80 states.
Thirty-four states reported an expendi-
ture by banks of $1O5,926 for develop
ing better agricultural practices.
Special banker-farmer activities en-
gagged in by banks in 81 states num-
bered 8,493, while 7,140 projects or
farm programs were carried on by
rural people through the influence Of
bankers.
For three years the Agricultural
Commission has given special recogni-
ton to the state reporting the highest
record of accomplishments and this
year Georgia achieved first place with
its banker-farmer agricultural pro-
gram. Representatives of the Georgia
State College and officials of the
Georgia Bankers Association de-

NO BAN ON MARRIED
TEACHERS

A ruling has been made by the
State Board of Education, in an
appeal from Wicomico county, that
a woman teacher in the public schools
of Maryland could not be dismissed
from her position because she mar,
ried.
The State law, the decision says,
provides no grounds for discrimina-
ton because of her sex or marital
status.
A clause in the teachers contracts
in that county which reads, eff fe
male teachers marries in any school
year, she will be expected to resign
at the close of that school year," is
in plain conflict with the State sch DOL
law, the State board ruled.

would have gone down still farther
Iif it had not been for these stabiliz-,
ing operations.
No effort ever made by any gov
eminent to stabilize prices of COM
modities in the face of diminishing
demand and increasing supply has
ever been successful. The Japanese
government tried to stabilize the
price of silk at sixteen cents pound,
with the result that everybody rush
ed into silk production and the price
fell to two cents a pound. The
British government tried it in the
case of rubber, which went up to a
dollar and three cents a pound.
Everybody who could do so began to
produce rubber, and you can buy
plantation rubber now for five cents
a pound. The Brazilian govern
ment tried to maintain the price of
coffee at twenty-three cents pound
and now has on hand enough coffee
to supply the whole world for tw o
years and is glad to get six cents a
pound for it. Canada made a great
failure of the effort to stabilize wheat
prices several years ago. Every
government in the world which has

maintain the price of sugar.

is THE SLUMP in YOUR
HEAD?

An Englishman, speaking to Ameri-
can business men the other day, had
this to say:
You are depressed. You think
you are crippled. You are afraid of
the future. You are full of fears.
You have half the gold of the world
and half of the machinery and most
of the automobiles and skyscrapers.
You have the greatest home
market in the world and the largest
corporations that the world has ever
seen.
You are ruled more by ideas and
less by tradition than any other
people in the world.
Now, can it be possible that pro-
gressive nation of 100, 600, 900 people
can be wrecked by the speculations
of a little handful of fools in Wall
Street?
The prices that were forced too
high had to come down. Today all
the prices are too low.
There is now golden opportunity
for every man who has eyes to see it.
Dollars are now being sold for
thirty cents. Practically every
security in the United States is now
being sold at less than its value.
The way to create fortune is to
buy from pessimists. Pay your
money and take the risk.
Prick started his career by buying
coke ovens in the slump of 1873.
Carnegie made $500, 100000 by buy
ing steel plants in slumps.
Hundreds of fortunes have been
made by buying from pessimists.
Ye gods, what a chance there is at
this moment!
In five years from now most
American business men will belong
to the I Wish / Had Club.
Then il will be too. late to buy a
dollar for thirty cents. The oppor-
tunity will be gone.
When horse balks, it is in his
head, not in his legs. He moves
when he thinks he will.
And when an American business
man is depressed, the slump is in his
head.
There is nothing serious to prevent
him from making money if he thinks
he will.
When fear rules the will, nothing
can be done; but when a man casts
fear out of his mind, the world be-
come his oyster.
To lose bit of money is nothing,
but to lose hope or lose nerve and
ambition that is what makes men
cripples.
This silly depression has game on
long enough. Get rid of it. 1t is
inside of you. Rise and walk"
Is it our legs or our heads that
will not let us go?

dent signed a joint resolution that
suspended annual assessment work
on mining claims held by location
in the United States and Alaska
during the fiscal year from July
1, 1881, to July l, 1882" On June
18th, the Secretary of the Interior
called attention of Congress that it
was evidently the intent to make
the exemption until noon of July /,
1882, and thus prevent any Jump
ing between the hours of midnight
on June 80, and II o'clock, noon
July l. AS a result the Senate i'm
mediately passed another joint res

Though milk may seem to be an
expensive food, money spent for
milk will bring a better return in
food value than money spent for
any other food.
Evaporated milk (not sweetened)
is whole milk, evaporated to half
its original bulk. 1t may very well
be used as an alternative for fresh
milk. A tall can" of evaporated
milk when diluted with an equal
amount of water is the equivalent
of a quart of fresh milk. In most
communities eYaporated milk is
cheaper than fresh milk, especially
when bought in quantity. If eva
porated milk is cheaper than fresh
milk it should be used for at least
half, if not all, of the family milk
supply when the amount of money
for food is limited. Evaporated milk
is especially we'll adapted to the
feeding of infants. Milk products,
such as cheese and dry skim milk,
may be used to increase the milk
solids in the diets, especially of
adults. Skim milk, either fresh or
dry, may be used provided either
butter or cod-liver oil is a regular
part of the daily diet.
COD-LIVER OIL.-Cod-hver oil
is not a luxury" but an indispens-
able food for young children. 1t
not only will prevent ricketts, but
also will protect the child in other
important respects. Cod-liver oil
should be included in the diet of
all children under 2 years of age,
and it may we'll be given to all
young children, especially when
malnutrition is present. Under
conditions of economic stress, when
overcrowding and other bad hygi-
enic conditions may exist and when
diets are limited in the amount of
milk, eggs, fruit, and vegetables,
there is even greater need for cod
liver oil. 1t is of the greatest i'm
portance that the oil purchased
should be of a good grade as shown
by tests for vitamins A and D.
To provide to teaspoonfuls a
day of such grade of cod-liver oil
for child will cost about 10 to %
cents for a weeks supply When
funds are limited, at least 2 tea
spoonfuls should be given daily.
VEGETABLES OR FRUITS-At
least three or four vegetables and
one fruit daily are usually con-
sidered advisable in an adequate
diet for children or adults. In emer-
gency-relief planning, however, it
is not always possible to provide
vegetables or fruit to this extent or
variety. Diets for both children and
adults can and must be planned to
include at least one vegetable or
fruit daily preferably two) in or
der to provide minerals and vita
minis. In both these respects vege-
tables give better returns for the
money than fruits.

Getting The Most For Your Food Money

! stances cereals. legumes, eggs,
cheese, meat or fish. 1t may be
! emphasized that no amount of these
lother foods will take the place of
the protective foods. Children, be-
cause of the demands of growth,
and pregnant and nursing mothers
also, need these protective foods
more than do others in the family
Deficiency diseases are inevitable
if the supply of protective foods is
insufficient
Children Must Not Suffer
If, under widespread conditions
lof economic stress such as many
communities are facing to-day, fam
lily diets are forced below the ac-
cepted standards of adequacy that
provide for the margin of safety
necessary for long-continued use.
they must not be allowed to fall
to the point at which health and
the growth of children will suffer.
1t is imperative that allowances for
food be such that the protective
foods-milk, cod-liver oil, vege-
tables-and the other foods can be
provided in at least certain irreduc-
ible amounts, amounts below which
diets can not fall without resulting
in nutritional disease or stunting
of growth. When planning food re-
lief under emergency conditions, it
is especially necessary that advice
be given to families to help them
select foods wisely and apportion
their funds so as to insure at least
the irreducible amounts of the pro-
tective foods.
The following suggestions regard
ing the protective and other foods
are given to help those who are
administering relief and advising
families about the selection of food.
Special emphasis should be laid on
the needs of children for protective
foods, since they, more than adults,
will suffer from inadequacies in
this part of the diet.
Protective Foods
MILK-Whple milk (unskim-
med) should be the foundation of
every diet. 1t is imperative in the
diet of every child throughout the
whole period of growth and in the
diet of every pregnant and nursing
mother. In every food-relief plan
effort should be made to allow
enough money to provide one and
one-half pints to 1 quart of milk
daily for every child and every
pregnant or nursing mother and
half this amount for each other
adult. When, however, in budget
ing emergency relief, funds are so
limited that this is not possible,

and every pregnant or nursing
