Are You Interested?

What has become of the men who
entered the Service from Highland
County? During the war govern
ment made provision for these men
and their families and the Red Cross
assisted them with information and
other service.
Now that the men are home again,
how do they fare? Are they able to
|readjust themselves and their fam
lilies?
The government offers bonus up
pom discharge, compensation for dis
ability, vocational training for men
unable to resume their former voca-
lions, medical attention for discharg
ed men who were disabled in the
Service. Do the men know of these
provisions? How many are eligible?
Have they put in their claims? Are
they keeping up their insurance? Are
they employed?
The Highland County Chapter OF
the Red Cross, through it's Home Ser
vice Section, is sending the men a
QUESTIONABLE asking for informa-
ton Of the character. With it goes
an offer of assistance. The answers
will show whether each ex-service
|
man has received all the benefits to
which he is entitled and whether the
Red Cross can be Of any assistance
in helping him receive them.

Perhaps the most Illuminating part
of the peace terms to the Germans in
the disarmament feature Is the dis
~mantling of Helgoland, which Ger
man efficiency first won from the Eng
lish by blunder on the latter's part
as to its real value, and then trans
formed into a practically impcegna
BILE fortress. Now all the vasu work
spent ur2n this island as fcrmida
bic aid IN war is to be urdole and
thrown away, with all its expense,
and still. worse, with all its expccta
tions, AID English apprehensions as
to its tbsaat turned into victor's in
tolerable rejoicing over its loss to
their erS::wkiio enemies.

such expenditures as some we have
had and not see any lasting good fol-
lowing.
Let we people get behind the Board
of Supervisors and urge them to ac-
ton and help along all we can. They
are supposed to be our servants in
the county affairs, and we must make
our wishes and plans known to them
and in fact help plan and put the
plans into practice.

Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
What would we people Of the good
county Of Highland think of our
selves, and of our county Board of
Supervisors, and Road Commission
ers, Contractors and so on, If people
who come to us from other sectins of
the state or other states and do work
on our roads so that they themselves
might travel over them with more
satisfaction and comfort. 1t seems
to us we would feel bad over it at
least, and it ought to arouse us to a
sense of our duty and make us "see
ourselves as other see u.s."
Now we are "sposin de case" as
the colored man says, but the above
is cold fact. We have section of
road extnding from the county line
below Stony Run through Bolar and
for about one mile above Bolar-
about 81 miles, which is said to be
the worst road in the county. One
man who drove his car more than
| $50 miles to get here said the worst
road he found was between Stony
Run and Bolar This same man put
a team and couple hands on this
road beside the work he did himself,
and put it in more passable condi-
ton.
Our mail carrier says this is the
worst road on his route between
Warm Springs and Vanderpool and
part of it he must needs travel three
times each day.
Another man says he has broken
two front springs on his jitney re-
Gently on this same road, and at the
same time our Board has paid out on
this road in the last two years proba-
bly, more than $50 per mile for the
upkeep. The money is gone, SO is
the road almost gone.
It's no use to pay man to put
mud in the road, to fill mud holes and
ruts with loose dirt leaves and such
like material for the first vehicle
passing over such work after show
er of rain, will simply go through it
and there's the same old mud hole
with more mud than ever in it.
In some communities there are nat
ural gravel deposits in others there
are slate banks, and where these arc
not available there is plenty of stone.
Why not use these and when we do
a little work it will be of some last
ing good to every one who has oc-
casion to travel. We think our
county authorities should formulate
some plan for improving our reads in
just such way. If the money now
paid to road contractors were used
in placing gravel, slate or crushed
stone in the worst places on our roads
it would be but few years until we
would have the general road sur
face improved a few hundred per.
cent. But we need not stop here.
Why not put on program of road
calling for some special
outlay of funds. People will not
stand back on paying for a thing if
they get it, but do not approve of

for them

Ifyour skin is pale and colorless, try this
new steam treatment for it. Steam Pene-
trates the skin in way water alone cannot
do. 1t enables you to cleanse thoroughly
the pores that have become clogged, to
stimulate inactive blood vessels and give
the skin new color.
To make your skin soft and colorful, one
night week fill your bowl full of hot water
almost boiling hot. Bend over the top OF
the bowl and cover your head and the bowl
with heavy bath towel, SO that no steam
can escape. This opens the pores wide'
stimulates the tiny blood vessels of the face
and brings the blood to the surface.
Now lather hot cloth with Woodbury's
Facial Soap. With this, wash your face
thoroughly, rubbing the lather well into the
skin in an upward and outward motion.
Then rinse the skin well, first with warm
water, then with cold, and finish by rubbing
