NntionaI-"The Better OLE

Playgoers who ventured the National
last night tired not of a re-enactment
OF the war. nor did many ex-veterans
OF the big scrap among the audience
fail TO approve the phases of its pres
entation which mark the showing Of
the Coburn Players Company in their
temperance here in The Better
Ole"
THE Better Ole is a banE-up good
war play, and its undeniable hit in
the face OF the gloom which invaria
bly, hangs over everything that
smacks of the late war, simply goes
to show it possesses n lasting quality
which lacks in most war atmospher
offerings in drama, literature or art
these days.
Mr. Coburn. who leads 4 Capablc
company recruited Enthusiastically from
those allied countries that took lead
ing parts in the fray-England, and
even France-acquits himself with his
usual success, this time in a leading
comedy role. which also ventures the
putting into practice of a singing
voice sometimes ''Sassed" on high
notes, but what'd be the merit of n

 "I don't see, Madame, why you can say the women of East Youngstown are disgrace to American women.

In MEMORY OF MRS. 0. S. DlLLARD. |

/ Mrs. o. S. billiard, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Benson, was
born May IL, 1894. She was married
to 0. S. billiard December Is, 1911
She departed this life July 7, 1919,
leaving a husband. son, father,
mother, one brother and two sisters
to mourn their loss.
Betty was a kind and affectionate
daughter, loving companion, a de-
voted mother and a consecrated
christian lady. Her genial smile and
lovable disposition won for her
many friends. To know Betty was
but to love her. Although her body
was racked with pain and s"ffer-
Ing for the greater part Of her short
life, she bore her Affections with
patience. Betty loved her family
and friends She fought hard against
he fatal disease that had so long
been preying upon her. She wanted
to live that she might enjoy life with
her friends and loved ones. But it
was not Gods will that she shober
live longer. On Sunday evening,
June LIST, she called the family about
her bed and told us that she had to
die. With tears streaming down her
pale sweet face, and with outstretch-
ed armsshe embraced each memuld
of the family with a farwelle kiss
saying as she did so, Il want YOU
to meet me in heaven" Many times
after this she would talk of DIV ing
and going to live with kindred and
friends who had gone on before A
few hours before the death angel
came, Rev. j. I. Carson, her pastor
and kindred friend entered the sick
Characteristic called to him and said
julius | want you to kneel by nv
bed and pray for me to die that
my sufferings might be ended" No
Betty did not fear to die. She could
look death in the face and exclaim
20. death where is thy stine9 /
.. grave, where is thy victcry?"
While all we mortals cling to this
life just as long as we can entertain
any hope for our stay here to be
heightened. yet it must be happv |
hour in which to die for all who can
pass into the great beyond as did
Betty.
Betty, you are gone from among
US. We will miss you here as we %
about our daily tasks. There is 2
vacancy IN our community and in
our home that none but you could
fill. But while we mourn our loss
we rejoice to know that your srf-
terlngs are ended and that you are
now IN the presence of Him who
doeth all things we'll. Good-bve
Betty, it shall not be farewell we
hope again to meet where sad part
ings shall be known no more You
have paid the penalty all must paw
You are now sleeping where we
all soon must lie; FOR
The boast of heraIdy, the pomp
OF power, And all that beauty all
that wealth e'er gave, Awaits alike
the inevitable hour, The paths of
glory lead but to the grave"

minds and petty political jealousies
to set at naught our labors and
make a mockery of our prayers and
vanity of our sacrifices?
When America entered the war
a great moral force was thrown in
to the slipping balance on the side
OF civilization, liberty and righteous
hess. Shall we now withdraw that
force from a needy world?
The entry of America into the
war was the greatest example OF
unselfish sacrifice that the world
has witnessed since the crucifixion
OF Christ. Shall We now become
vainglouious self-seekers at the bid
ding of those who have not cau9hi
the vision?
The American soldier fought, anC
we'll, because he believed that his
sacrifice would liberate the helpless
little peoples of the earth and es-
tabllsh a league of nations that
would keep the peace and preserve
to mankind what his sacrifices had
won. Those who died with that vision
before them tossed to us the light
ed torch of liberty and brotherhood.
We pledge to hold it ever aloft. Shall
we keep the faith with those who
lie in Flanders Fields and France?
Gentlemen those are the questions
Under the old system of taxation
In North Carolina when all the prop
erty in the state might be said to
have had two values, taxable
value and selling value, there were
many faults and inequalities in taxes
Mr.. Jones might value his farm at
a lower figure in proportion to its
worth than his neighbor, Mr.. Brown
A premium misplaced on dishonesty
and many men were paying other
mems taxes. There were manv in

between township and town.

The value of the taxable property
IN the state was so low as to make
us appear ridiculous in the ewes of
the world. The excessively high tax
rates were a bug-a-boo to prospect.
I've investors from other states
where they had property valued at
Its actual worth. The General AS. |
sembly of 1919 set about to remedy
these things by passing the reya-
luation act. The success of the ven
ture is already becoming apparent
by the fact that people are disposed
TO value their property at its worth

The treaty having been sign. d
