July 28, 1917 A county wide patriotic ral ly has been suggested in honor of the Rowan boys who are going to do service for tbe goverment during the present war. This is a splendid idea and we hope to see it con summated before the boys leave for other parts. We have never learned a wet moon from a dry one but aa the new moon of the 18lh was standing on the end and it has rained almost constantly since, it must be a wet moon, if not, there must be some thing like a flood in store for ub when we do have a real wet moon The Watchman this week gives the numbers of soldiers drawn by the national board in Washington last week.

If the Dr. would try this role for a year or so he would discover that the gentlemen thus engaged seldom have more than one pair pants and generally they are decor with patches. This world apparently gives every pre ference to the liar and scoun drell to the known trickster and proven thief. Even the members of his own church, church officers, whose vows before God are to stand by his brother, ignore him in business, speak slightingly of him and laugh at his fail ure because of the boycotts they steadfast reward aud that reward is not of this world.

A small son of Elijah Cooper was killed, Mr. Cooper himself is seriously injured and another son is badly shaken up as a result of a runa way on the streets of Albemarle here today. .The horse took fright at a motor truck and Mr. Cooper lost control of the animal. The buggy in which Mr. Cooper and his two sons were riding was turned over and all were thrown against the Southern railway station building. The boy, who was about 12 years old, never recovered from the shock. Mr. Cooper lives at Porter, a) Bmall town south of Albemrrle. It is thought that he and the other small son will recover.

"It has always been known that the mother was more or less responsible for the baby's wel fare and health but not until re cently has it come to light that the father also, probably more than the mother, is a factor de terming che chances of his baby's life- Particularly is this so when a father does not make as much as $650 a year. According to a recent study of infant mortality by the Children s Bureau at Washington, D C, it was found that the low wages of fathers and the employment of mothers away from home were the great est causes of high baby death rates. The study was based primarily on interviews with the babies' mothers. Of all the ba bies studied, one in six, 165 per 1,000, had died during the first year of life. ' Nearly half of the 1,643 ba bies had fathers whose earnings were less than $(50 a year, and more than one-eight of the ba bies had fathers earning less than $450 a year. Only one in sixteen had fathers earning as much as $1,250. The death rate among 'he babies in the poorest families was more than four times as high as among those in the highest wage group. 4 ( Low earnings on the part of the father appear to be the most potent reason for the mother's going to work. Where the lath ers earned less than $450 a year almost three-fourths of the mothers were employed during some part of the year after the baby's birth. As the fathers' earnings rise the proportion of working mothers falls until in the group where fathers earned $1,050 or over, less than one tenth of the mothers worked. "The mothers of 267 babies went out to work during the first year of the baby's life and these babies had adeath ra'e con siderably higher than those whose mothers worked at home, or were not gainfully employed. The rcte is specially high 277.8 percent. 1,000, among the 119 babies whose mothers went out to work before they were 4 months old. "In each economic group the babies who were artificially fed had fewer chances of survival than the babies whose mothers nursed them. But the economic status of the family modifies the influence of feeding, and the difference in the death rates for breast-fed babies and artificially fed babies is least striking in the highest income grcjup." The above is rather a narrow view of the subject as it only gives consideration to working people who generally have much larger families than the more well-to:do, but it is very evident whether stated or not, that the real cause of the high death rate of babies is due to the absence of the mother and the bottle-fed babe. The cause of the mother's absence is immaterial, rich or poor, at work or attending card parties, suffragette meetings, political powwows, picketing the White House, or what not, if she is absent the baby suffers, dies. Of course this is only a little law of nature which can be easily remedied when the suff ragetts get a majority in Congress and elects a president. Another oddity about this matter is this suffragette movement might he just as well called an Old Maids Association, Chamiisrlaiirs Colic and Diarrheoa Remedy. Now is the time to buy a bot tle of this remedy so as to be pre pared in case that any one of your family should have an at tack of colic' or diarrhoea during the summer months.

Much Money Means Cheap Money. Money gets cheap like other things, but the more there is the greater demand thus reversing the general rule of supply and demand. It is not altogether the increased value of things that make the higher prices, but in some instances the decreased value of the purchasing com- Lmodity, money. This, to us seems to have much to do with the present sitution. For in stance the money supply has greatly increased recently while commodities have decreased. Here is the latest government report on our supply of money: The average man in the United States is $11.51 richer today than Ue was three years ago. Total money -in circulation, shown in a chart in the July Federal reserve bulletin has risen from $3,480, 000,000 on June 1, 1914, to U 742 000,000 on June 1, 1917. The circulation per capita in 1914 was $34.35,- in 1915 $35.44, in 1916 $39.29, and in June 1917, was over $45.80. Notice to Owners of Purchases at Tax Sale.
