clared tomorrow and all Germans IN

eternal waiting, waiting, waiting on the

summer. and | never realized in what
terrible shape this country was until l
heard General Wood speak. There's
big man-General Wood.
Here we were at last, talking as one
might expect a man to talk who lived
near Paul Revere's route. But, some
how, wished he hadn't quoted General
Wood. The Tufts divinity student
hadn't quoted any one.
What is your regiment?' asked.
"Oh. I'm not connected with any regl
ment. Of course, I'd go if | was need
ed. but I've got lot of pretty impor-
tant work piled up ahead of me at the
factory, and | couldn't leave right off.
| have, however, already offered my two
automobiles in case of emergency"
We could have carried on this con-
versation indefinitely, for my Plattsburg
friend was full of enthusiasm, espe-
cially for universal military training for
all youths under twenty, but | was al
ready late, and felt that | had to forge
ahead. So left him and walked to Ar
lington.
was told here that | could either
take the trolley to Lexington or go by
train The trolley had just gone, and
there wouldn't be another for twenty
minutes, but could get train in III
teen. So | waited in the station and
read all about an excursion that one
could take to Bellows Falls, Vt, and
back. without stop-over, a qualification
which seemed hardly necessary If one
had ever been to Bellows Falls.

Lexington Offered Rugged New

Lexington Green was deserted. There
seemed to be plenty of houses, but no
populace. wondered if, by shooting
off a gun. | could arouse some martial
life on the historic battle-ground. |
even tried to whistle THE Star-Spangled
Banner" but that sounded rather silly,
as 7 was all alone in the middle of
common.
Suddenly out from behind one of the
monuments stepped an old gentleman.
He had a rugged New England counte-
nance, with straight white hair. and
was carrying his overcoat on his arm,
like the sturdy old patriot that ne was.
Here was probably descendant Of one
of the Revolutionary Fathers, thought.
| even did little inexpert calculation
with my fingers in my pocket to see If
perhaps he might not be Revolution
airy Father himself, but that seemed
hardly practical, since he was out alone
and carrying his coat. but surely the
spark of the older days burned in this
Lexington breast.
| was Just about to ask him if he
could direct me to the John Hancock
House, when he approached me and said,
in rich, deep voice:
81 beg your pardon, young man, but
could you show me where the John
Hancock House is? am on here from
the West myself, and | wanted TO see
everything here before | went back TO
my daughters tonight"
| confded to him that /, too, was
stranger there, but suggested that we
walk along together toward the station
incidentally in exactly the opposite d.
rection from the John Hancock House).
SO we trundled along, comparing our
impressions of the historic mecca, I'M
til we came to the railroad.

THE whole thing probably doesn't
prove anything at all, but 1t
sounds rather significant when
,ou nut it down on paper and trim it up
q BIT. And somewhere back OF it there
is a good idea.
The point of the trip was to travel
over the route of Paul Revere's original
ride from Charlestown to Concord and
600 if that countryside of to-day is as
susceptible to the present clarion call to
arms as we're the hardy rustics who
leaned from their beds and seized their
muskets at the first note of the warn
inc cry of Paul Revere. We of to-day
are faced by crisis, and any one
wbo has a tendency to patriotic ebul-
ltion is perfectly justified in eXer-
cising it now. What | wanted to lind
out was if the prairie fire of martial en-
tbusiasm was running in 1917 along the
same roadside which was its path IN

THE USELESSNESS OF WANT.

49, VI NAIN1'
The fear frequently expressed that
this country may come to want should
be perfectly useless fear. There is no
logical reaon why the United States
should not produce enough for her own
wants and the needs Of the allies. We
have the land upon which to grow the
crops and a climate that renders any
thing approaching a crop failure an
impossibilty. All that remains is for
the American people to apply them
selves to the task.
But it is at this point that the trou-
BILE arises. For several decades now
the people have been gradually desert
ing agriculture for the industrial pur-
suits. Agriculture has been at a dis
count and the farmer regarded as of
somewhat inferior clay. Thousands of
young men, if not trained in the pro-
f%esions, adopted the mechanical trades
till the farms have become almost de-
serted. The result was only to be ex-
pected, and naturally the industrial
ranks were unduly swelled at the same
time. Nothing save the overabundance
Of mechanical labor is responsible for
the great labor disturbances of the
past half century. Labor in any line,
when it becomes too plentiful must
either resort to competition or union in
order to survive. In this instance it
chose union, and the result we have
seen.
From this time on there should be
a systematic effort on the part Of the
great labor unions to curtail the num-
Der Of recruits to their ranks. Young
men should be discouragedfrom desert
ing the farms to engage in trades. The
farms need them and should have
them. There is room for several mil
lions young men on the farms
of this country, and then the land
would not be o~vercrowded.
A more equitable distribution Of la
Dor would result in great good to all
parties concerned. The farms would
benefit by the added forces, while the
trades would benefit no less by the
withdrawal Of a surplus Of labor that
is an endless source Of trouble and
strife.
We have reached a point where a
great readjustment Of labor is imper-
alive, and this reimbursement is up to
the leaders of the labor world.

WOMEN LABORERS.

The spirit displayed by the women
of this country in the struggle that is
before us, is a matter for Just pride to
every lover of his country. The una
nimity with which they have risen to
the occasion and meet the demands up
on them is gratifying, and evidences
the fact that they are not one whit
behind their sons and brothers in their
devotion to their country.
There is however one feature Of our
women's activity that may be easily
carried to extreme-that Of devoting
themselves to heavy manual labor.
There may, in the days before us, be
rare instances in which women will be
impelled to shoulder the heavier bur
dens that fall rightly to the shoulders
Of the men, but these occasions should

The splendid type of u American
manhood could never have been evolv-

man as something to be cherished and
protected and shielded from all of life's
rougher and sterner experiences. High
ideals and lofty conceptions of life
are drawn by us from the breasts Of
mothers whose surroundings and COM
forts are such as to develop them.
Children of care-burdened and over
worked mothers are apt to develop in
their own lives the direct results of
the trials of their parents. Very few
specimens of a high type of manhood
come from the homes of such people,
This is most clearly seen in countries
of the old world, among the peasant
classes, where over worked nothe.

is a condition of thing from which this
country has even revolted, and from
we must guard ourselves with
extra care in this emergency.
There are many lines of activity in

service, In these they should be en-
couraged, and these lines should be
eheerfully surrendered to them by the
men. But women dock ~laborers, wo-
men ~railroaders, women coal beavers,

Should this war continue for two or

country become as in other countries
we will be compelled to face this mat

women if we would safeguard the race.

1t might be well to impress upon the
people the fact that Mr.. Hoover Is
merely a leader, a captain, and in no
ems the whole thing in this great
campaign of conservation. He is here
to outline a course and blaze the way,

tute the great motive power if sue
cess is to crown our efforts. If the
goal is reached it will be through the

GIVE THE CHILD ITS CHANCE.

GIVE THE CHILD IT'S CHANCE.
There has never been a time in the
history of the world when al educa-
ton was so essential to individual sue
cess as at the present time. The whole
world is changing and the close of this
great war will bring conditions-im-
proved and elevated-beyond anything
ever dreamed of even by the greatest
leaders of our generation. 0pportuni-
ties are coming along al. lines of hu-
mar progress, but they will demand
clear-visioned, st~rong-minded men for
their solution and development, There
will be a new and elevated plane Of
action for the development Of a new
world which cannot be satisfied with
our p~resent-day grossness, imperfec-
ton and ignorance.
Shall our people be able to throw
off the shackles Of vice and ignorance
and measure up to the requirements of
that age, or shall we be found wanting
unequal to the task?
The teacher who has not caught the
vision and who is not striving to meas
ure up to its demands, is unworthy
and unfit for the great task which has
been intrusted to him.
The parent VIII is not trying with all
his might, even to the extent of great
sacrifice and deprivation, to give his
child every opportunity for acquiring
the very best training is committing a
sin in the sight of Almighty God.
Right now every school in Haywood
county should be crowded until there
shall not be left a child within our
bounds who is not getting advantage
of every opportunity which our school
system affords. Petty wranglings,
personal dissatisfaction and complaints
of Individuals, imagined or known
weakness of the teacher, complaints
of the child-any or all of these ex-
cuses or a hundred others that might
be mentioned-will prove of no salts
faction to you nor remove the burden of
responsibility from your shoulders,
when the shadow of neglected oppor-
tunity shall have been thrown across
the pathway of your child.
Those who through carelessness, in
difference, personal selfshness or a
failure to exercise proper discipline
and guiding force, fail in this respect,
shall suffer the curse Of their W ere
alton in their old age when they shall
be forced to bear the blame for the
failures and disappointment Of their
W offspring, while happy and conten-
ted shall be the old age of that parent
who shall have done his best and had
his part in fitting his child for a sue
cessful career.
Take warning and do your part by
your child before it is too late.
