FRANK LANE FOR COUNTY TREASURER JOSEPH H. CARROLL FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER THOMAS S. HOLT FOR SHERIFF CHARLES E. CARROLL COST OF THE WORLD WAR. The estimated cost of the world war, to date, is, a sum almost beyond the comprehension of tbe average individual, observes the Boston Monitor.

It means a per capita cost of about $55 for every man, woman and child on earth. That expenditures for war purposes are not growing less, in aggregate, is seen by the fact that the daily cost to all belligerents is now about $117,000,000. This compares with about six months or so ago. Now that tbe United States has entered tbe conflict, it is probable, from this time forward, that the expenditures will increase much more rapidly. The financial demands have meant a hard strain upon tbe resources of the belligerents of Europe, particularly the Central Powers.

Russia and Italy. In its forty years of preparation for war Germany had provided a war chest, and was in an excellent condition, in both a financial and a military way, for the inauguration of hostilities. The three years of fighting, and the rapidly increasing cost of it, have, however, made such serious inroads upon Germany 1 war chest that its contents have, it is believed, all but vanished. Germany's credit with ihe few neutral countries of Europe has nearly disappeared. They demand gold for what they sell to Germany now, and Germany has not the gold to pay.

Germany began to lose gold mast heavily last June, when the United States Government embargo measure became a law. If President Wilson had any doubts as to the effect of that act upon Germany's economic position, they must have been dispelled at that time, or soon afterward, for, since then. Germany's gold has disappeared so rapidly that mark exchange, in the neutral countries, has declined to a most serious extent. Germany's efforts to stem the tide by shipping gold has resulted in the de pletion of the gold supply, but has had scarcely any appreciable effect upon ex change rates. England has shipped considerably more than $1,000,000,000 in gold to the United States, but England's annual production of gold, within her colonies and possessions, is almost one-third of that amount.

Germany has no outside sources to draw from, but, on tbe contrary, has bad to help Austria and Turkey. Germany has spent money so lavishly, in carrying on tbe war, that it is necessary for it to borrow to pay interest oo the obligations already incurred. Thi entrance of tbe United States into tbe world war came about a short lime before Germany's financial exhaustion. The United States has brought to the aid of the Allies tbe resources of the wealthiest nation in the world, in addition to the contribution of millions of men for trench warfare. It is, therefore, not difficult to see ultimate victory for the Allies, nor is it hard to understand why Germany desires peace now.

EDITORIALNOTES. Soldiers of the National Army are welcomed into the country's service-by President Wilson in the following message: "You are undertaking a great duty. Tbe heart of the whole country is with Everything that you do will be watched with tbe deepest interest and with the deepest solicitude not only by those who are near and dear to you, but by the whole nation besides. For this great war draws us all together, makes us all comrades apd brothers, as all true Americans felt themselves to be when we first made good national independence. Tbe eyes of all the world will be upon you, because you are in some special sense the soldiers of freedom.

Let it be your pride, therefore, to show all men everywhere not only what good soldiers you are, but also what good men you are, keeping yourselves fit and straight in everything and pure and clean through and through. Let us set for ourselves a standard so high that it will be a glory to live up to it, and then let us live up to it and add a new laurel to the crown of America. My affectionate confidence goes with you ia every battle and every test God keep and guide yoil Many thousands of people of our land bold the wickedness of the world to be responsible for tbe awful war. Dr. Howard A.

Kelley, the famous surgeon and noted teacher of experimental and not theoretical religion, declares in a letter to tbe Baltimore Sun, that "there is not today, aod there never will be, such a thing as a Christian nation in the world, until Christ returns la rule in person. Tbe iniquity of tbe latter days will be greater than anything the world has ever seen. The legitimate expectation of the church is tbe coming of Christ to reign in person on earth. I take literally, and I am glad (o say multiplied thousands of Christians take literally, the declaration of the angels at His ascension. This same Jesus, which is taken from yon up into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into Heaven.

This question as to the legitimate expectation of the church is a matter of the highest importance, and I would beg all Christians to study the Word, and to sec whether or not these affirmations are true, like the noble Bereans in Acts, xvii, 11. These were more noble than those in Thessatonica, in that they searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so." As in every other vocation, the puhlir school system is feeling seriously the inconvenience of war times. There is a great scarcity of teachers throughout the country. Many of the male teachers have shown their patriotism by volunteering, and many others, both female, have accepted remunerative positions. The constant demand made by the war for men's service has opened innumerable new (iocs for women.

Teachers, by reason of their higher education. are eminently fitted to fill many of these positions and have not been slow to seek and accept occupations which carried increased salary. Mrs. Hetty Green wrote thU advice to her son: "Eat slow, don't drink ice water; keep out of the draught; don't stay up all night" Mrs. Green was the greatest and wealthiest business woman in America.

One of the latest food conservation movements is among the autoists. They are earnestly asked to spare the chickens. There are three million autoistb in America. Many chickens on the i a are killed. The Wheat Fair Price Committee, which is headed by H.

A. Garfield, has agreed that $2.20 per bushel is proper, and President Wilson has approved this figure. Proves Prediction By Coincidences. That the war will end in 1917 is the prediction of a correspondent of the Pittsburgh Gazette who is apparently joking as far as the predictive part is concerned, but whose figuring is exceedingly clever. Nolice bis table and it will be readily ad- milled that it is, to say the least, curious.

President Wilson was born in 1856; took office, 1913; has been in office 4 lived 61 years; total, 3,834. King of England was born 1865; as cended throne, 1910; has reigned 7 years and has lived 52 years, making a total ol 3.834. President of France, born 1858; took office, 1913; has been in office 4 years; has lived 59 years; total, 3,834. King of Italy, born 1869; ascended throne, 1900; has reigned for 17 cars has lived 48 years, making a total of 3.834. King of-Belgium, born 1875; ascended throne, 1909; has reigned 8 years; has lived 42 years; total, 3,834.

Emperor of Japan, born in 1879; as cended throne, 1912; has reigned 5 years has lived 38 years, making a total of 3, 834." King of Servia, born. 1844; ascended throne, 1903; has reigned 14 ears; has lived 73 years, a total of 3,834. King of Montenegro, born 1841; as cended throne. 1900; has reigned 17 years; has lived 76 years; total, 3,834. King of Roumania, born in 1865; ascended throne in'1914; has reigned 3 years; has lived 52 years, making a total of 3.834.

These figures concern the nations allied against the Central Powers and their pe rusal is. entertaining! As they represent two hemispheres, however, we are told that the total, 3.834, must be divided by two. The result is 1917. Therefore, the war will end this year. Kent Islanders Hopeful.

Residents of Kent Island are taking new heart in their fight to prevent the War Department from taking over their homeland as an ordnance provingground. This encouragement has been brought about by the stand taken by United States Senators William S. Maitirf, ol Virginia, the Democratic leader in Ihe Senate, and Boise Penrose, of Pennsyl vania, one of the most i i a Kepub licans in the upper lioute. Both of these senaiois were among a number of congressmen to whom peison- al appeals by letters and litenuuie were madefy the home preservation commit tee, of which Dr. John R.

Benton, ul Stevensville, is chairman. Fervent for the defeat of the yovemmenl's plant were made in these letters, and the stand of these two senators is believed to be due to the appeals made. As a consequence it is iaid that more letters will be written to other member: of Congress in both houses with the hope that the seed thus sown will fall in fertile ground and ihe senators and represents lives will join in the struggle to defeat an appropriation on the floors of the Uvo houses. Frequent meetings are bei held by the Kent Islanders to further these plans, and the tight Mill not be given up i a personal appeal is made to President Wilson, should such a step become necessary. Circus and Wild West Will Exhibit Here September 13.

Thriftless towns are shiftless towns. They have a dreary, dismal look--broken fences here, shutters off the hinge there, ruts in the road and blights on the trees. Thrift is contagioun.
