Honor Of Wearing 1t Falls to Former

Somewhere in America there is a stall |

is pinned the Croix de Guerre of France

in bringing three of his wounded com

Private Guyette, with forty-nine other

Private Guyette is a native Nermonter,
born in Moretown, and barely 20 years of
age He removed to Waterbury about two
years ago and at the outbreak of the war
enlisted in Company II, l02d regiment.
! The episode for which he won the Gov

Orders came to capture two German
prisoners from a certain sector near the

rage started at the time, but it developed
that our French guides had led us too far
by couple hundred yards, and we found
ourselves right in the midst of our own
artillery fire.

in the general high condition of the wheat,

TIE Dread Of Insomnia.

Thousands of persons live tormcntcd be-
cause they cannot sleep or cannot sleer
sufficiently. They go to bed nervous and
anNious for fear they are not going through
long hours of the night, resort to all man
ncr OF devices to produce slumber, yet
succeed in achieving only small portion
OF 1t, either too early or too late They
arise convinced that some disaster is com
Ing because sleep has been denied them,
that their nervous systems must be giving
way, or are likely to give way; and they
often bring about the result they dread
largely by the mere dread OF it.
It should he recognized at once that slecp
IS Natures restorative for wornout nerves;
that a certain amount OF it, varying with
the individual is necessary; and that diff
iculty in obtaining that amount does inn
ply fatigue and overstrain or something all
normal in the habit OF living. At the
same time recent scientific investigation
tends to show that the necessity for sleep
may easily be exaggerated Infants are
universally supposed to require a very
large amount of sleep. Yet numerous cases
are recorded in which babies have slept
only three or four hours day for long
periods and have continued in the most

Quincy Adams did not usually much ex-
ceed that amount: yet he lived and work
cd to extreme old age. .One Of the first Of
modern men of science asserts that -four
hours sound sleep is enough for any
healthy person.
What the body does require is abundant
rest. The mistake made by many who suf-
fer from insomnia is that, when they find
they cannot sleep, they will not remain
quleseent, but insist upon reading, or
playing patience, or, if they wake early.

STRONG PATRIOTIC ADDRESS
AT CITY HALL WEDNESDAY

A few, painfully few, people of Hen
Jacksonville took advantage of the OPP
portunity on Wednesday night to hear
a strong patriotic address by Judge
Gilbert T. Stephenson, of Winston
Salem, State organizer of the National
War Savings committee of North Car
DINA.
The speaker had well fortified him
self with a wonderful array of facts
pertaining to the war situation and the
necessity of seriousness on the part
of the people. He declared that the
people at home were not serious
enough about the war, that they eX-
pected to live in ease and luxury while
the soldiers win victory at the front.
He declared that peace was not in
sight and that Germany was just as
well equipped in men and armament
as it was in 1914 and that American
people just as we'll make up their
minds to make sacrifices in any way
the government may call on them to
do. He said that this county had been
called on 10 purchase 1857 900 worth
of War Savings Stamps this year and
that it should be equal to the demand.
The county organizer; Brown1ow
Jackson, presided over the meeting at
the city hall and first introduced So
licitor Michael Sohenck, who made a
short patriotic address. He said that
Henderson county made good on the
Liberty bonds and he felt sure that it
would do its part in the sale of stamps.
Mr.. Schenck said that it was a war in
which every person should take a part
either at home or at the front and
that it was not a day for shirkers or
slackers.
w. A. Smith was called on to intro
duce the speaker of the evening. Mr..
Smith declared that the people did not
have the war at heart as they should;
he said that a man could not properly
feel the sacrifice that he should make
for the government, until after giving
up a son for the service. He said that
he was proud of the fact that his three
lsons wer ready to. go when the call
came and that through their services
he had learned what a sacrifice for
war meant. He urged the people to
look anon the war seriously and re-
spond to the appeals of the govern
ment.
T. A pleasing feature of the meeting
was the musical selections rendered
by Mrs. J. F. Brooks. Mrs. G. G.. Barr.
Miss Thompson, J. T. Wilkins and
Charlie Morrow, with Miss Gussie Dot
son as accompanist.
The attendance was m%iserably
small, an indication that people were
not much interested in the Importance
of the meeting.
Just previous to the meeting, Judge
Stephenson met with the central COM
mittee at the call OF Mr.. Jackson, and
went over plans for thoroughly or
ganizing Henderson county for the
campaign.
