Al lowing fur duplications, it is safe t say that there are now nt least 20.0(Mi. 000 Americans who arc the possessors of these !onds. Their small snliscrip tlons amount altogether to $J.500.HX). 000. That is an Immense sum. It is nearly three times the total annual ex pense of our national government he fore the war. It is ahout one-tifth of our huge war bill for the tirst year of the war. And it has been saved out of the current earnings of the bond purchasers, without making any de mands whatever on our bands. These small bondholders have put over a big thing and have done their country in calculable service. The measure of greatness of a peo ple is in the unanimity with which they rally to the support of their principles and their Ideals. If there were ever any doubt that the American people are one in heart and soul, that doubt has been forever dispelled, for. when Americans can be induced to lay aside that idol so dear to the hearts of all politics the world may be assured that they are dominated and controlled by that greatest of all passions, love of borne and native land. It is this unani mity of sentiment and laying aside of Umlnor differences that is causing grave concent in the councils of the kaiser. And this concern is not lessen ed when he observes that a like spirit is lacking in bis own dominions. FORWARD T?

The County Health Department Is headed by Dr. A. J. Warren, and excelleut results are be ing obtained. Tbe Importance of the recent ao tiou is shown iu the high death rate from typhoid fever and iufaut diarrhea in the county of Rowan. Both of these diseases are among those com monly distributed by flies, which have their principal breeding places In the old fashioned open back privies. Kowan's death rate from typhoid fever last year was 35.5. considerably above the State as a whole, and the same Is true with regard to the in fant death rate from diarrhea.

For many years now we have laid great stress on the rights and privi leges of the American citizen, forget ting or ignoring the fact that with every right or privilege there is also a duty. Tbe time bas come when we must put our full- attention to these duties, and we should be as conscientious in their discharge as we have been in slstent in demanding our rights and privileges. One year ago insurance on merchant ship passing through the submarine sone was six per cent., and now it is only three per cent. The government insurance company, it is said, is think ing of lowering the rate even further.

Washington, May 15. Railroads in the first three months of this year earned only $71,706,000, as compared with (178,431,000 for tbe same period last year, making a loss to tbe gov eminent under tbe system of common operation of about $109,000,000. This report today by the interstate com merce commission covers all but five of tha 100 railroads in the counter The net Income in March was $ftX 033,000, or $7,000,000 less than in March, 1017. This difference, much less than in tbe preceding months, in' dicates that conditions are becoming better. for government operation and returns from later months may go far toward making up the loss. Operating revenues in March were $305,500,000, and operating expenses $282,000,000, making net revenue a little over $82, 000,000. From this was deducted taxes of $15,000,000 and rents for equipment and Joint facilities, leaving net Income, the Item on which government compen sation la based, $63,000,000. . Southern railroads reported $16,000,- 000, about $1,000,000 more , than In March last rear. - . - : 1L. . crusades against innocent amuse ment and allow cakes and ale to other people, though they insist on belnj virtuous themselves.

The packer stands between these conflicting demands, and finds it impossible to completely satisfy both. The packer has no control over the prices of live stock or meat, and the most that can be, expected of him is that he keep the difference between the two as low as possible. He does this successfully by converting animals into meat and distributing the meat at a minimum of expense; and at a profit too small to be noticeable in the farmer's returns for live stock or in the meat bill of the consumer." .
