A Hundred Million Goats

When Mr.. Wilson was president the
administration took the attitude that
the present generation should pay all
of the huge indebtedness incurred as
a result of our entry into the world
war
Under Mr.. Harding's administration
it is proposed that these debts be IL
quidated within a period of twenty
five years
In addition the allies owe US about
eleven billions of dollars which we
may never see again.
The eleven billions must necessarily
come from the pocket of the present
generation, as ic has already vanish
ed.
But why this frantic haste to iiqui-
date our own debt?
Why the insistent attempt to sad
die the whole burden upon those who
have done the suffering?
Why make this generation both suf-
fer and pay while the next generation
will have nothing to do but reap the
benefits?
America did not enter the war from
choice, or through any benevolent or
chivairous desire to aid England or
France when Le.r hacks were to the
wall in losing fight.
The government and congress knew
that without American aid for the
allies Germany would win, and that
the next step of victorious Teutonic
army would be to overrun this coun-
try or to drive our ships and COM
merce from the seas.
These are the facts in a few words.
1t is therefore plain to anyone of
normal intelligence that we fought not
only for ourselves, but for the bene-
fit and preservation of generations of
Americans yet to come.
Why, then, should we of today as
sumo all of the burdens?
Why should future generations reap
the benefits without any of the hard
ships?
Why not extend this liquidation over
a period of fifty or a hundred years,
and tighten to some extent the bur-
dens of taxation that are pressing SO
heavily upon the people of today?
Why make slaves of the people Of
this generation in order that those
of the next may live in greater af-
fluenee?
Why make a hundred million people
of today the royal goats for those of
tomorrow.

Winter Care of Tires

If you are going to put your car
away for the winter, there are a few
important rules to follow if you want
to find your tires in good condition
when springtime comes again, saws
the United States Tire Company.
The tires should be cleaned thor
oughly to remove oil and grease. II
you want to be especially kind to your
tires, remove them from the car, de-
fate them, wrap them up in paper or
cloth and store them in cool, dry
place away from the sunlight.
II you do not want to go to the
trouble of removing the tires, jack up
the car, debate the tires, and wrap
them in covers of paper or cloth. Do
not let the car stand on the tires all
winter or you will need q new set Of
tires in the spring.
1t is essential that tires be debated.
In cold weather an inflated tire has q
tendency to "set", q condition under
which the rubber is likely to break II
bent or twisted out of the position
or shape in which it has stood for q
length of time.

Greed for American Business Men

I'VE are American business men.
"We have confidence in the products
we sell and in the men who make
them.
1--WE believe in quality above every
thing and in buying we accept only
material of known value.
1--WE believe in service, courtesy and
fair dealings with customers.
1--WE believe in the great American
nation and in its destiny to lead the
world in all things.
when we cease to believe in our
selves and our business, when we lose
faith in our fellow men, we want to
be taken out to some lonely spot and
buried way down deep.
THAT is creed that every Amer
lean business man should have pasted
in his hat or hanging over his office
desk" says E. J. Dyer, Of Plainville,
Conn.
"As we think so we are. Psychol-
ogy plays a big part in our lives. This
being true, any business man who
lives up 70 the creed as here given viii
notice change in his mental attitude.
He viii become better business man
and a better American"

FALL TERM OF THE
CRESCENT CITY SCHOOL
OPENS NEXT MONDAY
Special TO the News


Crescent City, Sept. 21.-The fall
terms of the Crescent City school
will begin next Monday, the 26th. 1t
is hoped that all pupils will begin
work on the opening day and that
no time will be lost on account of
delays or for any other cause that
can be prevented.
The public schools are growing
much faster than Crescent City. One
of the reasons is that the school dis
trict has been enlarged twice dur
ing the past two years. Another rea-
son is found in the good name of the
schools. And still another is the fact
that surrounding towns not in the
school district desire to send their
children here.
The coming year there will be
more pupils, more teachers, and more
rooms than ever before. During the
summer an addition has been made
affording two more rooms on the old
level and also two rooms in the base
ment. The trustees want to make
manual training and domestic science
more effective than ever. New fur
niture has been provided for the adj
ded rooms, with chairs, desks, black
boards and other necessary articles.
With folding doors on two sides, the
auditorium will be found very much
larger than when the schools closed
The teaching staff will number
ten with Principal Wheatly at the
head. Miss Ethel L. Crawford will be
assistant principal as for the past
two years. Mrs. Jay Hobbs, Miss
Matte D. Willie, Miss Opal Futct
and Miss Myrtle Herlong will all be
found in their former places. There
will be four new teachers: Miss Car
dele Williams, who graduated il
June from the Woman's College o:
Delaware; Miss Nina Smoak, a gradu
ate of the Crescent City schools whit
has attended the Woman's Galley,
of Delaware and the summer schoo
at Tallahassee, in the latter of whicl
she passed a creditable examination
and Miss Myrtle A. Moore who ha
been a successful teacher in Nort}
Carolina The school will be so for
tunate as to have for it's instructo,
in music, Miss Katherine A. Craw
ford, young woman who has madt
most excellent record at some O.
the larger institutions.
The school car will make tive
trips each morning and afternoon a:
last year. 1t will be in charge o.
WillardWarner. The first trip il
the morning will be made north Of
Crescent City, the car leaving the
garage at 7 o'clock. The time for
the car to make the several stopping
places will be the same as formerly
Parents are expected to have the
children ready when the car arrives
as it cannot wait, owing the the
great distance that must be covered.
The second trip will take in the run
south of Crescent City, and barring
breakdows the car will be on time az
all calling places.
The car with pupils from George
town and Fruit}and will give the same
service as last year but more pupils
are eNnpcted

Scandal In High Life

One night recently three well known
characters of this city one classed
among the feminine sex, spent the
night in local garage. They entered
the garage in the evening and the
garage hands were astonished to find
them there next morning. Owing to
the fact that nearly everybody knows
the parties, it was attempted for a
time to keep the matter quiet. Things
like these will out however, and the
names of the parties have become
known all over town, so we might as
well publish them here-it was Lizzie
Ford and two Dodge Brothers.

HYGIENE
"YoUR TEETH"
(6y Rea Proctor MCGEE, M. D., D. S.,
Editor Oral Hysiene)

The highest death-rate is between
the ages Of two and six years. At
two years the eruption of the temper
airy teeth is just being completed and
at six years the eruption of the per-
manent teeth is just beginning. This
period from two until six is the time
that the temporary teeth are in their
prime. If the twenty little teeth are
free from decay and the child is able
to chew its food so that the proper
nourishment will be extracted, the
little body will have strength to resist
or overcome nearly all of the infec-
tons that may come to childhood.
The temporary teeth are the greater
to the child than the per
manent teeth to the adult, because a
child must not only be nourished to
keep up the ordinary life processes,
but it must have nourishment for, rapid
growth in addition.
The temporary teeth decay much
more rapidly than the permanent teeth
because their structure is not so dense
and in addition the pulp is more quick
ly exposed because it is larger in pro-
portion to the siXe of the tooth. Near
ly all dentists are agreed that the
treatment of temporary tooth with
an exposed pulp is hopeless. The best
that can be done in such a case is to
give temporary relief If the temper.
airy teeth are lost, they cannot be sat
iisfactorily replaced
The permanent teeth lie in baby jaw
just beyond the roots Of the temporary
teeth and are partially formed even at
the time of their eruption. If the baby
teeth are allowed to abscesS, the grow
ing permanent teeth are b2thed in
pus and will probably be seriously
damaged or totally ruined. Children
are highly susceptible to pus. Absces.
ses of temporary teeth produce general
infections that result in lowered vital,
lily, rheumatism, heart inflammations,
and many other diseases that are very
serious and sometimes fatal. Don't
neglect your childrens temporary
teeth. Both the present and future vel
fare of your child depends upon the
health of the mouth.
