FIVE YEARS AGO
BIZ SteHart NJ. Emery

Swinging the road through the racking night
Up to wild, red dawn
"The Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming >
"Madelon! Madelon Madelon!'
It's a long, long way to the fields of France
Where the scars under poppies hide,
It's a long way back to the oldtime gang
Who marched and sang at side;
Five full years to crashing noon
When the pledge of our faith was met
There as the Argonne gunfre roared-
But who is going to forget?
Crouched in the cut of a battered trench,
Bound on the final show,
Thinking last swift thought of home
Rocket, boys! Yea-a-a! Let's go''
It's long, long way to the hills of France
Where the green grass takes root
It's a long way back to that last mad rush
When the sullen guns went mute.
Five far years to the nights that blazed,
To the mud and wire and sweat
From the easy paths of everyday
But who is going to forget?

CARE IF THE TEETH

The teeth of the American soldiers who served abroad during the world war were said to be in much better condition than those of the Allied ar mics. The Daily Mail, one of London's best newspapers contained long editor ials on the subject and drew contrasts which were not flattering to the Brit fish, Canadian, New Zealand, and Aus tralian men.
 Little French children wrote essays in school commenting on the manner in which the Tanks used their tooth brushes every day. American dentists are known to be the best in the world,

Make Them Last


 When your child is five or six years old, the four front teeth will fall out and new ones will come in to take their places These will last life time if they are given the right care. At about the same time four large molars, or grinders will appear. Many people think these are baby teeth be- cause they come into the jaw where there were no first teeth. They are the most valuable teeth person can have and should be examined by a dentist every six months.
 A Lost Tooth is a Lost Friend
 When a tooth is pulled out it leaves a gap in the chewing machinery and it's work must be done by other teeth. Sometimes the other teeth become crooked because of the gap in the jaw. Don't wait for a tooth to ache. Have it examined and treated. Times have changed since Robert Burns wrote his little ode to an aching tooth. People who can reach a dentist rarely slight their teeth to such an extent nowa- days. If the teeth are kept clean they are not apt to decay. If the enamel breaks down and causes a hole large pose and cause tooth ache and may cause other illness Such as rheuma- tism. neuritis, neuralgia, head ache, heart trouble, abcess boils and ner- vousness.
 Right Food Helps the Teeth
 Candy is bad for the teeth. Children ! should have plenty of milk, cream, but ter, oatmeal, nuts, apples, prunes, cur rants, figs, berries, tomatoes, spinach, corn flakes and corn meal, crusts of bread and food hard to chew.
 Keep Them Clean
 Money spent for tooth-brushes IS well invested. Every chhild should own one, small brush with bristles of uneven length should be used. Af- ter using it should be rinsed and hung in the sunshine. The brush should be used at least twice day.
 It takes at least two minutes to brush the teeth properly. The brush, any good paste or powder will do, should be moved in circles on the out side of the teeth and gums. Clean the side toward the tongue and the tops by moving the brush straight in and out. The space between the teeth should be cleaned with floss the gums and tongue brushed lightly, and the mouth rinsed with lime water

the former Kaiser of Germany employ ing an American dentist to look after his teeth-and possibly other crowned heads of Europe followed his example. There has been great improve ment in the case of American teeth in the past ten years. This has been prot about through health education, and regular inspection of the teeth.

A GOOD PROPOSITION

Narrow-minded individuals are in
clined to fight the organization of
labor banks and cooperative under
takings. This is wrong. These in
stitutions should be encouraged, for
the more laboring men go into busi-
ness, the more will they understand
some of the problems faced by an
employer in the financing, operation
and management of industrial and
banking enterprises.
The laboring man who has his capi-
tai tied up in bank, a sawmill, a
gold mine, a shoe factory or a public
utility plant, will be pretty sure to
take an interest in maintaining safe
and sound conditions in both state
and nation, in order that the prop
erty may pay fair rate of return on
his money invested, which to him, the
same as to any other investor, repre-
sents years of toll and saving.
One safeguard of the nation lies in
educating our workmen to take a
greater interest in, and become own.
ers of the securities of our various
industrial undertakings.

A. T. S. NOTES

The First Summer Term of the APP
palachian Training School closed on
July 18th with examinations in all
departments. The attendance in this
term was the largest in the history
of the School, there being 376 enroll
ed and six states and Canada being
represented. Students came from all
parts of North Carolina representing
81 counties. The class of students
too was of high order with scarcely
an exception having high school
training, large number being high
school graduates among them. The
Faculty were unusually well fitted
for the work in hand and splendid
work was done. The Credit Cards
go out to Raleigh on Monday, and
but for illness in the family of one
member of the Faculty they would
have been sent out on Saturday 14th
Good work was done in the County
Summer School held in one of the
Training School buildings during the
same time and enrolled about one
hundred, coming from various parts
of the State, but the number in the
County School is not included in the
number above. The Second term
of the Training School opens on
Tuesday July 18th.
Boone is fast becoming a very po-
pular rendezvous for large numbers
of people from various parts of the
State, many coming especially for
the weekend. The road from Boone
to Blowing Rock being now under
construction is hinderance to visi-
tors from the southern part of the
State, but many come from that Sec
ton in spite of that fact. When this
road is complete, Boone being
school town, with it's wonderful sum-
mer climate will attract still larger
numbers of people. Many coming
to Boone for the first time are great
ly surprised at the hustle of the lit
tie town, the remarkably fine eli
mate, and the wonderous beauty of
the scenery, and repeated visits are
almost certain.

DEVELOPMENT WORK BEGUN ON
THE JUDGE COUNCIL PROPERTY

Developments have begun On the
Judge Council property. Crews OF
men are working every day clearing
away fences, buildings and anything
that might detract from the attrac-
tlveness of the property. Mr.. H. H.
Halliday of Greensboro, N. c., one
OF the parties who purchased the
tract is in charge of the work.
Mr.. Halliday says it is their pur-
pose to develop this property into
business and residence lots right up
to the last word. Wide Boulevards
will be laid out, graded up, and it
will make perhaps, the finest subdivi-
sion in this section of North Caro-
lima. The entire subdivision, when
all Developments are completed, will
be sold at auction about the middle
OF August, and opens up the last and
only property in the heart of Boone.
This tract of land has hindered some
what the progress of Boone for
number of years, and now that it is
available, it may be expected that the
Watauga Democrat. [volume] (Boone, Watauga County, N.C.) 1888-current, 1923-07-19

buyers will almost stampede in their
efforts to get in on the ground floor.
According to Mr.. Halliday, a large
number of outside people, coming
mostly from the larger cities and
towns will be present for the purpose
of buying sites for summer homes
and lots for business locations. By
reason of this, it is expected that the
sale of this magnificent property will
Tar eclipse anything of the kind at
tempted in the northwestern region,
for at last the outsiders have their
eyes open to the desirability of Wa
tauga's metropolis, and they are 60
ing to buy. The men in possession
know the auction business, are
spending hundreds and thousands of
dollars in preliminary work, and it is
the general consensus of opinion
that the day of this sale will mean
the beginning of a new era of growth
and prosperity for Boone, the high
light of the Lost Province section.
