This assures us that the men who have babies of which they are proud will have an opportunity of having them judged by a competent physician, compared with other babies, and free advice given as to the proper development of each child. This is a big undertaking for a busy practit:oneer, but he will be assisted by the State Board of Health. I bespeak the hearty cooperation of everv one that the department of Health may be made helpful to every one in every respect. It is the pur pose of everyone connected that the publ;e may come to Dunn's Big Fair, and leave at night having been great ly benefitted . - educationally and socially, without having come in touch with th6 immoral features found at many fairs. Dr. Warren will appre ciate sifrgestions from other doctors as to how this department may be made to serve the publicto the best advantage. Miss Fanny. Brooks, Home Demon stration agent for Harnett county, will have charge of the kitchen and pantry department.

Evangelist Bax ter McLendon of Bennettsvllle, S. C, generally known as "Cyclone Mack," opened up a big evangelistic cam paign In a tent opposite the Baptist Church in this city yesterday morn ing at 11 o'clock. All the churches in town are cooperating in the cam paign. Mr. McLendon ' preached in the morning on. "A Revival"; in the af ternoon on "Prayer": at nhcht on The Lost Christ." His sermon at night was cut short by a downpour of rain, which made it impossible for the evangelist to continue. Mr. McLendon made a fine impres sion on the large congregations that heard him each time, and the general feeling here today is that ; he will accomplish a great work during his sojourn in this. city. He will per haps attract more people here than have ever been here before, during the same period. Rev. W. S. Golden, the popular pastor of the Presbyterian Church of this place, who has been chaplain in the army for the past year, re turned from France Saturday night and "preached to his people Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. He will visit his parent sin . Alabama this week. His pulpit has been supplied during his absence by Rev.- J. Mcl. Wteker. RAILWAY WAGES AND FREIGHT RATES Theodore Price, recently actuary of the United States Railroad Adminis tration, presents in the Outlook - an expert study of railway rates and the cost of living. " He argues- that the large deficit in Government operation of the railroads is due to the fact il.at the rates charged for carrying traffic are insufficient to meet the . high cost of operation, especially the high labor cost, and that an ' advance in rates i? now imperative. Mr. Price says: As we look back over the records since 1896, we are driven to the conclusion that railroad ing is the only business in the United States in which the charge for the service rendered or the article sold does ot bear some relation to the cost of production. t In the case of transportation, the cost of production is in the last ana lysis the cost of the labor employed, for whether this cost of labor as re flected directly in the wages paid, or indirectly in the cost of the materials (fuel, oil, -steel,- etc. purchased, makes little or no difference. . If coal costs more, it is because the miners are better paid. If steel rails are higher, the advance reflects the higher wages paid for their fabri cation. If oil has increased in price, the enhancemnei is due to the greater cost, of the human energy required for its production; and so it is all along the line. The cost of providing transportation is almost entirely made up of the cost of labor, The advance- in wages allowed plus the advance in the cost of supplies, has, however, proved to be greater than the increase in revenue resulting from the advance of rates, and a de ficit of approximately 1200,000,000 for the first year of Government operation is the result. This deficit is plainly due to the previous maladjustment or lack of ad justment between costs and rates. Since 1906, until Mr. McAdoo rais ed them last summer, ' freight and passenger rates have been practically unchanged and wages were advanced but little, while the cost of livincr has steadily increased.-. A careful study wiu snow mat, even including the dv.a established auvances estaDiisnea last summer freight and passenger rates are but twelve and twenty per cent, higher, respectively, than thev were in 1896. while the cost of living has risen over two hundred per cent. it should not be necessary to ad vance rates in the same , proportion that wages were increased. Allow ance should prcperly be made for the greater operating efficiency that is the result of scientific nroeress and the reduction in overhead costs that is possible with an increased density oi tramc, dui tne experience of the last twelve months shows that tha public do not object to paying higher wuta mere is gooa reason for them; and no clearer demonDtnnHnm ad hominem of .their reasonableness can be furnished than the evidence of increased cost of living and of labor. The editors of the Outlook, com menting -on Mr. Price's arguments, conclude: It is perfectly clear that the wages employees must go up with .the Cost wx iiymg. ii is equally a mathema tical deduction that railway rates must go up also to meet this neces sary rise m wages or else the railways will be bankrupt. TALENTED READER WILL BE AT FUQUAi" SPRINGS T7 uquay springs, July 6. Mrs. W, R.

PFVIF.W OF AMERICA'S PART IN WORLD WAR Fact About Conflict Furnish Power- f ul Argument For League of Nations WocViintrtrm D. C. America's part winning the world war is graphi cally told in a "Statiscal bummary of the War With Germany just from the press and written by Col. Leonard. P. Ayres, Chief of the Sta tistics Branch of the General Staff. The summary is a printed document of 150 pages and is a complete statis cal review of America's participation in the greatest war in history. It is regarded as a powerful argument for tn League of Nations as a deterrent of future conflicts. in The war's cost to America was 850,000,000, or appro ixately $1,000, 000 an hour. Of the total, $13,930, 000,000 went for army expenses. The country's total armed force when the armistice was signed was 4,800,000 men, of whom four million were in the army, the remainder being n the vnavy, Marine Corps ana otner branches. The number of. men sent overseas was 2.086.600. of -whom 1,39Q,0UU were actually engaged at the front. The number of Americans engaged in the Meuse-Argonne battle-th great est operation in which American trops participated, was 1,200,000. American casualties in this engage ment number 120,000 officers and men. Battle deaths approximated 50,000, wounded 236,000, and deaths from disease 56,991 up to April 30, 1919. Ram notable achievements were accomplished by those charged with the duty of waging the war. Not the least of these was (he fact that. despite the U-boat peril 306,000 men were transported .overseas in one month. ..The speed with which the armv is beine returned is indicated by the fact that 333,000 were Drougnt home in one month. Supplies shipped from the United States to France amounted to 7,- 500.000 tons in the nineteen months of this country's participation in the war. Rasulta of Saloctivo Draft The number of men registered for military service under the Selective Service Act was 24,234,021, of whom 2,810,296 were inducted into service. The largest number inducted in any month was 400,000. While the British sent more men to France during the first year of their participation in the war than the United States did, it took them three years .to attain a strength of two million men in France, while the United States accomplished this in one-half that time. Approximately 200,000 Commiss ioned offerers were required for the army, the report shows, and of these, less than, 9000 were in the Federal service at the war's outbreak. Of these, 5791 were regulars and the remainder National Guard officers. The remainder had" to come from civil life, and most of them were trained at the Officers' Training Camps. Of ;very six officers in the army, one had had previous training in the re gular army. National Guard or in the ranks: three received their train mg at the Officres' Training Lamps, and the other two came direct: from civil life with little or no military training. The average soldier who went to France had six months of training at home and two months of Intensive training after arriving in France. ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT. Jonesboro, July 8.

The importance of protecting our native bkds Is apparent when we consider that Bisects cost the Ameri can people approximately a blllioa dollars a year. A writer la Thrift Magazine says a recent examination oi mt siomaca oi a coosr wsx wing (cherry bird revealed 100 canker worms."- In the stomach of a scar let taascer were found 30 gypsy moth caterpillars. Hawks and owls are birds of 1U repute, yet It Is estimated that a hawk or an owl kius so average of 1,000 mice every year. BIrdt that fee doa the seeds of weeds small rodents and Insects are friend of the farmer. In their persistent ace.t of food they aid materially la con serv ice crops. The wanton destruction of birds Is both Inhumane and an economic waste.
