WADE BAXLEY.
Tn Memory of a Dear Little Boy Who
Met a Tragic Fate.
tn the Editor of The Robesouian:

tn the Editor of The Robesouian:
Never has our heart been so sad
dened as when the message "Wade
Baxley was instantly killed." reached
us week ago. Memory at once car
ried US back to fall of 1914, when we
first met this dear little boy. He was
then about ten years old and we
had the pleasure of being his teacher
for two years.
Memory fingers with loving gen
tie touch upon our associatin with
him. He was an ideal pupil, studious
beyond his years. His lessons were
always prepared with care and he
tried in every way to bring joy to
his teachers. How we'll his teacher
recalls his faithful efforts and the
pleasant smile with which he always
met her. Never during the two years
did we have any occasion to correct
him.
He was a lovable boy, gentle, manly
and loved by all who knew him. His
Dlaymates found him ever kind and
courteous. To the younger children
and to those who were in poor cir
cumstances he was ever kind.
Just why one SO gentle, so lovable
and one whose life was so full OF
promise should have been taken, we
in our feeble strength cannot under
sta-a, but surely wise Father, whose
WAYS are beyond our ken, knows best
and Wade has gone to fulfill in larg-
er way his sphere of usefulness. AND
somewhere in a fairer world than this
he waits for the loved ones to join
him.
"I cannot say, and l will not say,
That he is dead-he is just away;
With a CHEEKY smile and wave OF
his hand
He has wandered into an unknown
land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be since he fingers
there.
Think of him as still the same, I say
He is not dead-he is just away"
An only child, how many hopes were
buried when this bright young life
passed away! How hard it is to say
"Thy will be DONE"
Nav He who wept at the grave OF
Lazarus deal gently with the sor-
rowing parents and speak comfort to
their hearts.
Dear Wade, thou art gone from us,
Thy presence we shall greatly miss;
But we know thou art waiting
In a land where all is bliss.
Sad and lonely is the home
Thy presence was wont to cheer;
Sad hearts are torn and bleeding,
Longing for you to be there
In life thou vert sweet and pure,
Our dearest hopes-but God knows
best;
In death-oh thrice blessed thought
Our dear, dear boy is at rest.
Oh sad, troubled, stricken hearts,
Look unto God, He'll answear your
prayer.
Trust in his love, as "you pass under
the rod"
And you'll understand, sometime
somewhere"

PEOPLE MUST LEI

Government Calls for Labor and Ma

Winston-Salem, April 1.-"I am

F. J. Fries, State director OF War
savings. that beIcre we get any
wher. in winning the war o. ey. in
raising the amount OF money neces-
Sarv to finance the war that We must
get toretner as people with brt
one motive. No Cne man or group
of men has ever saved Nation.
Wherever country's fate has been in
ieopardv, It has taken the exertions
of all the people to save that country.
Rudyard Kipling gave US the secret
of winning wars and saving nations
when he said:
1T amt the individual,
Nor the army as whole,
But the everlastin' team work
Of every bloomin' soul
II cannot believe that we are yet
together," says Colonel Fries, "on
and what it considers necessary to
have to win the war. It is now call
ing not only for our money-that we
lend it and have it returned to us in
five years with interest-but for ouf
services. Wars are not fought with
money but with goods and service
The Government s first call to the peo-
pie is to useful employment. There
is work for everybody, and not until
every idle man and woman becomes
engaged in the business OF winning
the war, can we be sure that we will
win. It's second call is for goods OF
materials. If oar people do not econ
omjze and do without the things which
the country must have for wa' p,lr-
poses, there is no other way but to
conscript them.
''It is no longer question of what
we Individually can afford to spend
or would like to have. The question
is, can the Nation afford ID have us
spend. What Lord Kitchener said to
the people of England a few years
ago is vital message to America to-
day. Either the civilian population
must go short of many things to
which it is accustomed in times of
peace or our armies must go short of
munitions and other things indispen-
sable to them,' and as our own Pres
ident has requested: "Let every man
and every woman assume the duty of
careful, provident use and expendi-
ture as public duty, as dictate of
patriotism which no one can low ex-
pect to be excused or forgiven for ig-
ncring."
'It is only when our people shall
act concertediy and make the winning
Of the war Their business. shall we
declare thai America is safe. De-
lay is costing as the lives Of thou
sands Of our young men,

COAL SH0R RTACE
MILLION TONS
I'm ILLINOIS

Chicago, Jan. .2-Chicago and llli-
nois tonight faced Il coal shortage of
100000 tons as the tive-day period
OF enforced industry idlenesS ended.
At the beginning of this period the
shortage was estimated at 100000 tons.
After Il meeting of business men and
railway officials at the office Of John
f. Williams, State Fuel Administrator
Mr.. Williams issued this statement:
THE general opinion was expressed
that we are rapidly approaching nor
nal conditions, but at the same time
we are now facing a shortage in coal
amounting to 100000 tons, whereas
short time ago, we estimated that
our deficit would be only 100000 tons.
1t is inevitable that this shortage will
have to be taken care of by pairing
down consumption at every possible
point
1t is believed that if the present good
weather continues traffic congestion
caused by the January blizzard will
be relieved in from one to two weeks.
