FLU EPIDEMIC NOT OVER;
W ARNING IS SOUNDED
Washington, Dec. 20.—The danger
of relaxing efforts to check the spread
of influenza was emphasized again to
day by Surgeon General Blue, of the
public health service.
"The epidemic is not ended,’’ the
surgeon general said. “Any state
ment at the present time that the epi
demic has ‘come and gone for good’
can only do harm, for it will lull peo
ple into a false sense of security, and
cause to relax the precautions they
should take to avoid the infection.”

JAPAN AND FRANCjE
AFTER COTTON TRADE
Another Kind of War.
The warfare between man and his
Inseqt competitors Is only to a small
degree waged at the point of the bay
onet ; It Is generally a straggle for the
means of subsistence. Man has many
times been beaten by locusts devour
ing his pastures, meadows and grain.
Crawlers on the ground and buzzers In
the air, moths with wings like sliver
down and caterpillars with brilliant
regimental stripes flutter about the
gardens and orchards and march np
and down the trees ‘and shrubs, either
devouring as they go or planting eggs
from which future devourers will
spring, , ...
London.—Japan and France are
both going after the textile trade.
French manufacturers have been in
Lancashire placing orders' for mil
lions of dollars worth of looms to re
place those destroyed or stolen by
the Germans. Japanese agents have
been through the country buying up
old looms at prices three to four
times higher than before the war.
Already the Jan controls the greater
part of the market for the cheaper
cotton cloths in the far east and is
going after still more of the cotton
trade which once was the monopoly
of Lancashire.

Old English Names.
It wrmld be interesting to know how
certain places on the edge of St. Louis
nnd Franklin counties got their names,
such ns St. Albans, Melrose, Chester
field, Manchester and so on, nil good
old English mimes, while the majority
of the nnmes on the letter boxes on
the Mnnchester nnd Melrose ronds are
German nnd undoubtedly mnny of the
people of this pnrt of the stnte are of
German descent, ulthough nmong the
most loynl of the Americnns of the
present dny. But who wns responsi

Wars That Made History.
The Civil wnr In America was fol
lowed— In 1866—by the Prasso-Aus
trian campaign in Bohemia, which may
be said to have lasted only Sevan
weeks, Btnce Austria was completely
brought to terms by her first crashing
defeat at Konlggratz. The logical se
quel to the Prussian war of 1808 wltli
Austria was the German one of 18T0
with France, though, Indeed, It may
be said to have been practically de
cided In less than one month—at Se
dan—the rest of the time being but a
lens-drawn-out agony of fighting des
pair on the part of the vanquished.
BOARDS EE DISSOLVED
AT END OF THIS MONTH
Annapolis, Md.,„Dec. 20.—Local and
district draft hoards will be dissolved
at the end of the present month, Sec
retary Baker said in an address Mon
day at the governors' conference here.
After that time, however, they will
maintain an informal organization to
assist employment bureaus in placing

ards of the United States for length

types as follofs: 3-4, 7-8, 1, 1 1-3, 1
1-4, 1 3-8, 1 1%, 1 5{8, and 1 3-4 inch.
Reproductions by the photogravure
process of samples of cotton having
these lengths (amed from the origin
al official length standards) will be
shown. These photogravures show
the actual measurements as nearly as
possible by any present day commer
cial method of illustration, and for
all practical purposes are the exact
lengths of the* original samples.
Realizing that differences in meth
ods cf pulling staple may be the
cause of variations in results obtain
ed by different classers, the Bureau
of Markets has made a study of the
methods used by those who are ac
knowledged to be expert in this par
ticular work. As a result a method
has been devised which meets with
the approval cf the bureau and 'Its
