breathing place for the tired and
jaded folk of the Roanoke Rap
ids of tomorrow. Ideally locat-
ed, inherently suitable, this park
should be taken by the people Of
the town for the children Of the
town.. forever.
Unless something is done by
those who love the town, and
done quickly, the opportunity to
save this beautiful spot will be
gone forever - the trees and
grass will give away to brick and
concrete - and following in the
footsteps of innumerable other
towns, Roanoke Rapids will be-
come a parkless, sordid grimy
place - with only germ laden
and alleys for the public
of its children.
This matter should be agitat-
ed by the mothers of the town :
through the Civic
League - by the pceachers of
the town = by all those interest
ed in making the town more at
tractive and better fitted for the
physical and moral development
of its people.

pany.
The First National Bank of
Roanoke Rapids has increased
its deposits from 1921, $50. 16
on September 10, 1915 to $22l,
1857 on September 10, 1916,
and the Rosemary Banking &
Trust Company has increased
its deposits from $25, 525. so
on September II, 1915, to $5l, :
1851 in 1916. All told about
$l26, 900. 90 of assets in the most
readily available form have been
stored up in this community dur
ing the year just ended. While
this does not represent, of
course, even an approximate
estimate of the total addition
made to the wealth of the COM
munity, it does represent the
amount of saving the majority
of the people have effected, and
it is gratifying testimony to the
real prosperity we are now hav-
ing.
Also it should an be added in
centtive for thrift and economy !
those who collectively have saved
the eighth of a million will need
no extraneous inducement, but
to those who have had no part or
parcel in the undertaking, the
figures should be convincing ar
both as to the POSSIBLE |
ity and the value of steady, con-
sistent saving.

Parks And Fairgrounds

It may look like a far cry tt
some who have not thought
about the matter from the Roa
noke Rapids of the present day
with its free wide spaces of sun
and air to the Roanoke Rapids of
our children hemmed in with
concrete and brick, possibly con-
gested with mills and dwellings
and, unless something is done
now, more than probably devoid
of park space and playground.
The experience of practically
every American town which has
been subjected to the rapid ex-
pansion of commercial and in
dustrial development has been
an uniform one parks and
Fairgrounds have been ignored
until too late suitable land
that could have been purchased
at a reasonable figure in the
early days of the town s develop
ment has been found prohibitive-
high when realization of the
need of park and playground
space has been forcibly pressed
home.
Il is only lately that growing
towns have begun to profit from
the experience of their larger
sisters. Civic pride has realized
the necessity of breathing space
and foresight has impressed the
need Of its acquisition while
are most favorable.

Another Republican Fallacy
Expected

We quote from the New Yorl
Times:
the following Illuminating editor
ial anent the campaign plea Of
the Republicans that the Demo
cratic prosperity is war fec
exotic, destined to wither away
like Jonah's gourd vine with the
first dawn of peace. After men
tioning the enormous foreign
trade of the United States, with
exports in excess of imports by
nearly a billion and half, the
Times proceeds to demolish the
Republican high tariff argu-
ments, stating in part as follows:
If we are to enter world mar
kets it must be on the basis OF
world prices. For the first seven
months of this year our exports
increased practically a billion.
Imports increased nearly a half
billion. War exports did not
make our exports increase by
that sum unless we include in
that category raw materials for
manufacture, and foodstuffs.
That is to say, what might be
called our normal trade abroad
is thriving without the war
trade, if the two trades can be
supposed to be separated.
ION the other hand, thatsnor-
NAL trade cannot be imagined to
exist without imports. Foreign
buyers could not have sent an
other half billion of gold, and it
is sanguine to suppose that we
would have taken an additional
half billion of securities, either
our own or foreign. 1t is easy to
that we might have ex-
ported more goods if we could
have produced them, and would
have admitted more goods. When
the war trade ceases our product
i've capacity of other goods will be
unlimited, and we must either
produce and sell or close our
factories. 1t is the exchange of
goods for goods that keeps
factories busy on both sides the
ocean. 1t is the hindrance to the
exchanges of goods that closes
factories, enlarges and disturbes
currents of gold,
md makes bankers prosper
While traders anguish.
1t is not possible to deny the
,enefts of our present foreign
rade. 1t is possible to credit
hem to the tariff only to the
xtent that it allows goods to
inter- in payment for our ex- I
orts. We cannot credit our
,ar trade to the war as an ,
economic substitute for protect il

/ REMEMBER, | REMEMBER.
BY Thomas Hood, Born May 20, 1898.

I remember, ] remember
The house where was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn;
He never came a wink too so0n,
Nor brought too long day;
But now, often wish the night
Had borne my breath away!
/ remember, remember
The roses, red and white,
The violets, and the lily-cups-
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin build,
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday
The tree is living yet!
I remember, I remember
Where / was used to swing,
And thought the air must rush as
To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then,
That is SO heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow!
remember, I remember
The fir-tFees dark and high;
used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky.
1t was childish ignorance,
But now it's little JOY,
To know I'm farther off from HEAVIER
Than when was boy.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
JERRVs BUBBLE PARTY.

I'm going to have a party today"
announced Jerry on the morning Of
his sixth birthday.
Uncle Jimmy stared at him in sur
prise. He and Jerry were alone in
the house. Jerry's mother and father
had been called away to grandmother,
who had been taken i'll.
Il guess not" said Uncle Jimmy at
last. who is to give the party for
you? Not your Uncle JIMMY"
"Tll give it myself" said Jerry.
'I've got the pipes from last year, and
I'll have another soap-bubble party.
But it won't be real party without
anything to eat" he ended wistfully.
Jerry invited his six best friends,
and they all came even though he told
them there would be nothing to eat.
They blew bubbles until Rosemary
blew one as big as five-cent balloon.
Then they laid aside the pipes and
went into the woods.
They had been gone only a few
moments when they came running
back, Jerry leading.
Come quick, Uncle Jimmy" he
called. There's something in the
tree that's, trying to make soap
bubbles or else it's trying to bust it.
SELF
Uncle Jimmy hurried back with the
excited children.
There it u.s. whispered Jerry.
"It'' was a grayish brown object
about three inches long, with lumpy
body and a pair of beautiful, bright
eyes. Every other second it's breast
pulled out until it did look little like
soap-bubble, in shape at least. And
all the while there was shrill note
thrown upon the air.
do you hear that noise?" asked
Uncle Jimmy. "That is the tree-toad's
song. And the soap-bubble is his
chest expanding when he takes in q
breath to sing"
81 didn't know toads sang!"
you're listening to one now, Rose
mary" said Uncle Jimmy. "The tree
toad's song is about the first spring
note heard in the woods. They beat
the birds to it. Now, if l know this
fellow, | believe l can give you an
other treat, though it seems shame
to disturb him. Watch him and tel
me if anything happens"
Uncle Jimmy stood on the stump O
a tree and gently prodded Mr.. Tree
Toad with the end of his finger. In
stantly he stopped singing, the soap
bubble chest became quiet, and after
moments watchful waiting, he hoped
up the branch until he came to
shelter of green leaves. Not for
second did the eager eyes of the chill
dren leave him.
Suddenly Billy cried out, "He''
changed his clothes!"
Sure enough, he was wearing
green suit!
He changed. to match his surround
ings," explained Uncle Jimmy "Whel

At the door he stopped suddenly.
BY the way, Judge Brady, you said
something I couldn't make out"
"When?"
while we were waiting for higgins.
You said you wanted to see if Brown
ing was right. What did you mean
by that?''
Judge Brady looked grave for mo-
ment, then smiled and waved his hand.
Don't puzzle over that, Mr.. Calder
lynn. It's only hopeless book-worm
like myself that could understand it.
Goodnight"
Left alone, the Judge drew the Nor
ris chair before the fire and sat for a
long time musing. Expressions blend
ing from gay into grave, and then into
gay again, fitted over his face. At
last he arose; walked over to an open
shelf and took down volume. He
fingered the pages with the delicate,
rapid touch of the booklover.
Eureka" he exclaimed under his
breath. And going over to the desk
he took up pencil and marked three
lines:
God be thanked, the meanest of His
creatures
Boasts two soul-sides, one to face the
world with,
One to show woman when he loves
her!"
