Paragould soliphone. (Paragould, Ark.) 1918-1950, 1922-08-18

-four years after the signing of the
armistice, these six men, who re-
member nothing at all of themselves
or their past lives, are still under
the care of the French govern
Iment. Every effort has been made to
find any one who knows them.
Their photographs and detailed de-
scriptions have been published all
through the country in the hope
that relatives or friends can be
found. 1t is said that they nave
been visited by thousands OF per-
sons none of whom has recognized
any Of them.
The unknown dead OF the allied
countries have been honored in the
burial of representative unknown sol
diers Flowers have been heaped upon
the unknown soldiers grave in each
country and monuments have been
erected. These six living unknown
receive no glorious tributes. war
horrors and suffering completely
changed their lives and left them
alone in their native land.
Their own tragedy is only part
OF the story. OF the thousands VINO
have visited them, many hundreds
no doubt came seeking friends or
dear ones CT their own whose fate
remains unrevealed. War itself is
terrible. It's echoes are terrible.
And still foolish civilization con-
tinues to tolerate it in thought and
to prepare for its recurrence.
AS Judge Johnson would say, we
may not owe Greene county any
thing, but we certainly owe the
moral interests OF this community
If we can feel that we
are entitled to the blessings OF the
society that is being supported by
those moral interests. The Boy Scout
appears TO offer the most
definite avenue to a higher plane
of social relationship and good gov
eminent than any other individual
process of moral training for our
young men.
You NAV have never been Boy
Scout Yourself but the Lord only
knows how much better a man You
might have been had you received
the good training the Scout move
ment is capable of giving and Is
giving to the boys of today. In event.
you will not contribute little
money for a full realization OF the.
movement in Paragould, don't Oh
fer a rotten excuse. If you're de-
termined to save your dimes, keep
still.
If YOU don't love music, if you
don't want To listen to the pand,
some money to the Civic
Clubs band pavilion, anyway. Then,
you'll know exactly where the band
is playing and you can get as far
away from it as you like. In other
words, either pay to hear the con-
certs or pay to get them out OF
YOUR hearing. It's worth your money
either way you put it.
1t is announced that $50,000.Oo
in Federal funds are Immediately
available for good road building in
Greene county Now. don't get fran
tic over the suggestion. Uncle Sam
is not going to MAKE us take it
unless we want it. Just keep still
and he'll slip it to some other
to some county that really
needs it for building good roads.
PROMISING UNPOPULARITY.
Chairman Ben Hooper OF the
Railroad Labor Board thinks Presi-
dents suggestion that the seniori-
ty dispute be referred to the board
is a "safe and sane position OF
fairness and conservatism" because
both sides in the controversy OBJ
iect to it. 1t is not bad reasoning
If neither side sees in the board the
hope of partial decision, the
outlook for one fair to both sides
is promising.
Mr.. Hooper believes. too, that
once the question IL referred TO the
board. adjustment will not be so
difficult as has been feared. There
is much work to be done which
has been let go because of the
strike, and the rising tide OF bust
