New York Times. • Fully 0,000,000 women in the United Kingdom are engaged in whole-time work much of which, in one way or another, is essential to the war. Harold Begbie, an English journalist and novelist, 1 writes in a London newspaper. In three years 021,000 women were added to the payrolls of Eng land's munition factories, he as serts. Incomplete figures which ho compiled showing the number of women in various trades and occupations, follow: Metal, chemical, and textile 2,708,000 Admiralty, dockyards, ordnance, ifcc., 210,000 Finance, banking, com merce, x 940,000 Transport, including trams, 111,000 Local authorities' ser vice, 231,000 Agriculture(not includ ing 1918 recruits) 74,000 Hospitals, 04,000 Civil service (includ ing Post Office) 1 190,000 Hotels, tavern*?, thea tres, &c., 207,000 In addition there are nearly 200,000 women employed in a service of % military nature, audi as the Queen Mary's Auxiliary Corps and the Women's Naval Service. Our Amazons, Begbie says, have saved us. We could not have con tinued the struggle without their i help. They have not only en abled millions of men to be en -1 rolled in the army; they have doubled and trebled the national : output of munitions of war. , Behind the pretty girls in at tractive uniforms who are doing most useful work, there are rail ' lious of women toiling in the > sweat of their brows from morn ing to night at work either so 1 hard that it wi»s thought before ' 1914 no woman could perform it, 1 or so dangerous that no man ever ! dreamed of asking a woman to I do it. Tho spirit in whL'h these wo men have come forward to take the place of men is beyond praise. They have been 11 steady influence in trade disputes. They have shown tho utmost courage in mo ments of danger or panic. Many of them are doing cither exceed ingly hard work or extremely monotonous work. Their physical » endurance has equaled their pow- I ors of nervous resistance Jo I fatigue. Their morality has been superior to that of men. • I notice a disposition to call the k tanks chariots. All right just so they don't change the slogan, "Treat 'Em Rough " I can remember when automo biles were a common sight every : Sunday. . riote of Thanks r We wish to express ourapprecia ; lion and thanks for the many kind nesses shown us by neighbor* and friends during the and I death of husband and father, John ■ A.

Thirty-seven Cases to Date. | 'Chief of Police W. 11. Boswell, in order to satisfy himself of the real . situation in regard to influenza in Graham, arose at an early hour this morning and went all over town, . street by street. As he went along he enquired and took note of all ( cases thus far. He found 37 cases. Some of them were well, others were . up but had not left their homes. He found seven cases in one family all ; improving. There have been two or three serious cases. So far there . have be?n no deaths in cases origi . nat'ng here; but ono person died here, having cotae home while very i ai , It can be safely said that the situa tion is improving at present. Having voted and registered, the intelligent and patriotic citi zen is now all set for the liberty loan drive. Uost of tho editorial writers see Germany's hand in the Austrian peace move. How do you sup pose those astute men happened to ferret that out ? Did you put your Liberty bond coupons in war savings or thrift stamps ? My idea of the last word in binality is expressed by the para grapjier who calls Senator Lewis "J. Ilam," and thinks it funny. - Neutral countries should band themselves into a League of Free but Easy Nations. RED CSOSS SALE Mr. Robt. V.
