CAMPAIGN DAY AT
YOUNG'S GROVE FRIDAY

The county campaign met at
Young:s Grove on last Friday and
was one of the largest attended and
best Of the meetings yet held. There
was not the usual large crowd for
which this place is famous, but those
who did attend gave good and undl-
vided attention to the speakers and
the best of good order prevailed all
day long. Chairman Hunter pre-
sided at this meeting and it seemed to
me that all the candidates made their
best speeches, probably realizing that
this is the largest voting precinct IN
the county and all of them wanted to
make a good and lasting impression.
The barbecue dinner was served
by Mr.. Nichols and the hash cooked
by that expert in the making of hash
Mr.. J. E. Fulmer and every one salJ
it was good dinner all round.
After the campaign meeting closed
Chairman Hunter called on DR.. j. S.
Wheeler and Mr.. Joe B. Derrick to
explain the proposed bond election
next Tuesday, today, and they did So,
and in fact the people seemed more
interestedin this than any other mat
ter that was before them, and it is
well, because there is no matter of
greater moment before the people
than the question of better roads.
The people desire to understand the
question and they will always do the
right or very nearly so certainly the
right as they are able to see the right.
Somehow this bond matter was not
fully explained to the voters until
tight here on the eve of the election.
The Herald and News on April 80
printed the acts relating to the mat
ter and called attention to the acts
but no one seemed interested at that
time, but the people are now under
standing the meaning and the effect
of the whole matter and the bonds
will be voted, or that is the way it
appears at this writing.
The roads from Newoerry to
Prosperity and on out to the Grove
are just as bad as they could be and
no argument is needed to convince
any one of the Importance of improv-
ing the roads. And I believe that
the people are willing to put up the
money to do it, but they may want a
little too much assurance as to how
it is going to be spent, but they
should remember that in order to do
anything somebody must be trusted.
And that a good road through the
county in any direction will help all
the people of the county and make
the chance better for getting another
road through the county in another
direction. In other words we must
start somewhere if we ever expect to
get anywhere, and that we can not
start everywhere at the same time.

FOR BETTER SONGS

A movement Is on foot to suppress
the obnoxious and vulgar songs. The
musicion associations of the United
States declare that the majority of
the popular songs sold and sung in
the United States are unspeakably
vulgar in sentiment and absolutely
yalueless as music. Good. We have
expressed our opinions on this mat
ter a few times and voiced the senti-
ments. We will wager that % Dor

The Call for Help

The hearts of thousands Of the little children
of Europe will be glad on Christmas, even if they
do not have gifts such as their more fortunate
brothers and sisters in this country will receive.
The food which they are receiving regularly
from American relief stations must this year
take the place of the customary Christmas gifts
These little ones are face to face with the grim
issue of starvation. A meal means infinitely
more to them than toy. ~-.
Their hearts are filled today with gratitude
which is inexpressibe. But the small number
that is being taken care of at the relief stations
is only a small fraction of the millions that still
lack sufficient food to prevent malnutrition. So
far only the children who are in deplorable
state are receiving aid, while others, whose con-
dition has not approached critical stage, are
forced to continue in their suffering.
America has been asked to raise about
S23 OOO, 900 for this relief work. Herbert Hoover
is back of the movement. The appeal has been
cast broadcast throughout the country Re-
sponses so far have been generous but they still
are far short of the amount which is necessary
to keep these children from starving to death or
enduring agony that will leave them helplessly
crippled for life.
No greater Christmas offering can be brought
this year than to answer this appeal for aid.
Christmas is day on which Christian countries,
concentrating the nativity of the Christ, think
of their children and shower upon them the gifts
of love and affection
Wherever child is in want mankind owes 4
duty of benevolence. In this instance, the suf-
fer is so general and the appeal so urgent that
few of us should have the heart to ignore it or to
turn a deaf ear to the call.
All of us hoped that misery and want would
cease in the war-devastated countries shortly
after hostilities ended. In this we were dlsap.
pointed. The want today is as great if not
greater, than it was during the World war Eff
fective relief among the children this year will
save the lives of millions.
