Secretary Glas9 says the "Ameri can people should snppl jmeht the patriotism of war by the patriot ism of peace; and just as American soldiers on the fields of battle mailt notunie conquests lor liberty, so American business men in a differ ent way, and through different in strumentalities should now give ex- pression to their patriotism by promptly and cheerfully meeting . the obligations of citizenship which exigently involve triumphs of peace easily comparable in their ultimate . consequences to the great victprie. of the war.' The American business man's .part in the war has been a big ont but it is yet to be. completed. Ih has taken part in four big drives here in order that the government might finance such drives on tht battlefields in France as those that effected peace for the nition. It was just as necessary for each individual to do his part, no matter , how large or small, to accomplish a victory in the Liberty Loan drives . as it was for the individual Ameri can soldier, whether it meant his life or not, to do his pari at Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel and the Ar gonne. Everyone has shared in the victories. There is another drive, however, in which the business man is again called upon to do- his part well; there is another victory for him to accomplish. American soldiers are waiting at the scenes of their drives to be brought back to the United States. They want to come home arid en joy the peace accomplished. The government need3 assistance and has ordered the Victory Liberty Loan that the nation's debts ol honor may be paid and the soldiers brought buck. No is the time to supplement "the patriotism of war by the pa- Titism of peace." The business can make the Victory Libert) the greatest of his victories mphof peace."

Jumog H. l'ou and judge J.j Crawford Biggs, of Raleigh, will ap pear for the depnrtmimt und the suit will be defended In tho loner court: by Attorney General Monnln3 and Aa-; sistant Attorney Genrr.il Sykos.

" The University of North Carollno will Tery likely enlarge the Frpe ol ita extension service to Include e course for the training of county health officers. The plan was given tontative consideration In' a conic erice between Dm, Chase and MicNJ-'. dor, of the faculty of the tlolyf rally and Dr. .W. .8,. Rankin and Dr. n. R. Washburn, of the State board ot health. .. , , . The University recently added f" expert In sanitation to Its faculty and the institution would be well -equlpm 1 to provide the course for thn hesUb officers of North Carolina. The, proo' osition Is regarded among health cv perts as a move that would be m productive cf efflr!nov In fie fnrlbe nnce of the health campaign, in V State. The conference, however, was po" ly of a tentative nature but Is pr-' ably the forerunner of further conf ences between the fnonlty rf the TT verslty and the ofT'clals of the St.-)' board of health. North; Carolina I well tip in the Hat of States with !' lotion for the protection nf the i-n-" of Its citizenship but, its force la ni' 'mixed unless the health officers f evory'clty and county are thorouehl alive to tholr J ;b.

Th b" proposes that the gove.rnment's sik plus machine tool sets be loaned t such institutions throughout th cou" try, but the war department will r pose, this and recommend that t1"' seta be sold outright to the institi1 Hons at some very low figure. - Some New Charters.
