Mer&'eiice of Governments
(Charlotte Observer.)
The proposition to consolidated
the governments of New Hanover
county and city of Wilmington into
one has been revived and evidently
with the intention of presenting it to
a. successful conclusion. It is based
on the practical in modern govern
ment. A similar situation prevailed
in Jacksonville and the Florida
county of which it was the capital.
Town and county were brought under
one government and the results have
snore than justified the experiment.
For one thing, the city streets have
Been extended to the bounds of the
county in all directions, thus giving
the county the same character of
3tiads that exist and are maintained
in the city, and likewise, the county
has been provided with school facili
ties exactly similar to those in the
city. In other words, county and
city became one in benefits under a
consolidated government. The Jack
sonville plan has excited admiration
from all who have been made ac
quainted with its operations. We
should think that nothing better for
the future development of town and
county along lines of modern prog
ress could happen than for the pres-!
ent proposition to be made of adop-!
tion by Wilmington and New Han
over.
Oi Course They Will.

WHAT BOYS SAY
ABOUT RED GROSS
Since the soldiers overseas have
been informed by their officers that
the Amerifkn Red Cross will play San
ta Claus this Christmas for all the
boys in khaki who have no relatives
in the United States, Red Cross Head
quarters at Washington has been re
ceiving hundreds of appeals. Inci
dentally the men at the front have
taken this time to express their ap
preciation for the work done by the
Red Cross "Over There."
Following are a few excerpts taken
at random from letters inclosing
Christmas Package Coupons:
"Dear Mr., Miss or Mrs. Red Cross. I
would appreciate It tremendously If you
would send me a Xmas package. I have
no relatives, and a little something from
the good old U. S. A. would be appreci
ated beyond words. The Red Cross has
done so much for us over here, and you
don't know just how we appreciate it
beyond everything else."
An Italian thus addresses his Christ
mas appeal :
"To Whom It May Concern. I am In
service in France and, having no people
in the United States, would like to re
ceive a little package from the Red Cross
on Xmas. I am in No Man's Land in a
big woods, and ,it is raining."
"I have been informed the Red Cross
will send Xmas packages to any soldier
who sends them his Xmas package cou
pon. I have received so much tobacco
and other things from the Red Cross in
my fourteen months in France I scarcely
like to write again. I am in the hospital
recovering from wounds, and the Red
Cross furnishes us with daily papers,
writing material, tobacco, fruits and rec
reation." "I have no one else to send my Xmas
coupon to, so am sending it to you, as
per notice on our bulletin board. If you
send a package I would appreciate it if
you would inclose a bill for same, for I
would gladly pay it. I don't want to im
pose on you. The Red Cross is the best
friend we have."
One Red Cross nurse writes:
"Am inclosing the coupon, but please
be sure all the boys at the front get
their packages first, then if one is left I
will appreciate it, as I suspect all the
others will have something from home
which will make me a little lonesome.
Words cannot express our appreciation
for the Red Cross."
"The Red Cross is a great help and
blessing to the soldiers any and every
where." "We of the A. E. F. are constantly
being shown evidences of the wonderful
work the Red Cross is doing and are ex
tremely thankful."
"Dear Red Cross Workers. After we
left dear old America we thought we
were traveling away from your kindness,
but we did not. We cannot praise you
too highly for your work. I have no
folks at home to send me a Christmas
package."
"Words cannot express the obligation
we are under for the work you are doing
to help us along."
"I know they would greatly appreciate
any little remembrance. I wish to most
sincerely thank the Red Cross for all the
kindnesses and benefits they havt be
stowed upon our boyn."

Taking Punishment.
Whenever the G. O. P. comes to
grips with Woodrow it gets a solar
plexus blow that makes it dizzy. It
is now taking the count at Washing
ton, while the President sails blithe
ly across the Atlantic. When it re
vives sufficiently to get on its feet
again the results of the peace confer
ence are likely to send it reeling.
A Pleasing Result.
(Detriot Free Press.)
Restoration to the ranks of produc
tive toilers of the men hitherto "laid
on the shelf" because they were past
60 years old is one of the pleasing
results of the war.
The Asheville city sealer of

according to estimate, consumers, ex

of short-weight butter. He estimates
now that 85 per cent of the butter
being offered is full-weight.
