As the Boys Come Home. 5 % J The man who is not moved to the depths of his soul, as he stands on the curb arid sees the boys 1 march by. our boys who have* faced death and hell and horror of the trenches, is?a stolid piece of case-hardened, cold steel. Bring out the brass band, strew the streets with flowers, festoon the homes and stores. Heroes are coming home with laurels on their brows and man stuff in their eyes. Grim forms go tramping by. The flag waves over the heads of men reborn in the fighting furore. Bibbon counter clerks and cattle driving farmers, home nursed and school bred boys, factory hands and delivery drivers are striding by. bearing guns which have spouted death but given life and liberty to the world. They swing past with the stride *>f martial manhood. They are coming home to firesides that are dear to them % in the the tenderness of men eager for love and hungry for caress. War is over, carnage is ended and life with its sweetness is before them. The terror of of death is past and life is palpitating with the hope of the resurrection mom. Welcome the men with all the love and gratitude and glory and praise of victors. They are our sons. Can we dp too much for them? They are of the stuff that will not be satisfied to be professional heroes, nor will they call for pedestals, or preferments. They are coming home to their places again in the clothes of citizens and to grace our firesides and fill our offices, eager to take their place again in the world as men. They will have their old jobs back again and ask nothihg but a fair chance to achieve. This country is bursting with pride for them. Let our hearts speak without fear that we may say too much or do too much for those who have trod the wine press and whose garments are red with their own blood, and whose veins are coursing with the rich warm hope of youth. No army comes home cleaner, manlier and less unspoiled. How we love and how we ahopld honor them! Some are bearing wounds, all have endured hardships and made heroic sacrifices. * T % }> \ This, the Simple Life. The inexpensive film recrea- - tion has endeared Itself to the common peoples, for it is the life of the world reproduced in motion. There has been a "get i ? acquainted" quality to the "movies" that nothing hereto- 1 fore has equaled in value, for it 1 has been essentially human food 1 for human minds. One-hi lf of j the world had always hankered to know how the other half' , lives. Along came the "movie" with "Behold! See what you ] have heard, read or imagined, j I am a medium of education." i There are many non-believers < in the "movies." Offsetting 1 them are those people who have 1 seen and believed and become 1 even better informed in current j happenings than such non-be- | lievers as minimize the value of I ( the "movies." For informing , quality there is about as much i difference between the legitimate 1 stage ana the movies" as < between the door-stopper oat < and a yowling pussy. The best < argument for the "movies" is | that the people like them. ty l It is remembered that a busy * physician in this city stopped | long enough during office hours ] to comment. "What's in this < Kit oither half of the world in action. It cannot be said that the United States Congress does not "slop over at times." The press related a few days ago how the passage of a resolution giving MrsJ| Roosevelt a pension of $6,000 a year passed both houses like a greased onign. On another page of the'paper it was recorded that the ex-President carried $65,000 life insurance and that the insurance companies had paid the policies without even awaiting the usual proofs of death. It is to be hoped that Mrs. Roosevelt will find room in the safety vault to stow away the $5,000 government money as it comes in each year. The legislature of South Carolina could save the taxpayers many thousands of dollars each year by the abolition of the offices of county farm demonstrators and canning club agents. Not one in ten of the farmers pay any attention to the advice of the college-bred instructors, and the housewife who does not know how to can tomatoes and otner vegetaDies is hardly deserving the name. The money paid these instructors could, in our opinion, be used in several ways that would prove a lot more profitable to the people who have to pay it. Will Demobilize at Sevier. A Washington dispatch of Saturday to The State says that Senaler Simmons, of North Carolina, called upon the war department with inference to the return of the Thirtieth Division and was informed that ail possible haste is being made in getting the men of this division ready for their homeward trip. He was informed that not only had these men been asked to various cities in South Carolina but that North Carolina and Tennessee were asking for them. In this view of the situation, they will probably go to Greenville after they have been debarked at Charleston. In fact, Senator Simmons was practically assured on this point. General March informed the North Carolina senator that the war department officials were as anxious as the men of the Thirtieth' themselves and their friends for them to be at home again and that everything consistent with the situation was being done towards this end. ? i * - A.-tvui present muicauons me men wili embark sometime during the present week and land at Charleston possibly two weeks later. That will make their arrival in Charleston about February 15. Piaeville Stores Robbed. Two robberies occurred in Pineville Friday night The general merchandise store of W. A. Yandle & Company were both burglarized between midnight and day and reports from the two -stores indicated that a big amount of booty had been secured by the robbers. Mr. Yandell's store was found standing open early Saturday I morning, and he went at once to investigate. He immediately i notified the sheriff's office in Charlotte and Deputy Victor Fesperman left for Pineville with bloodhounds. The robbers varied the usual robbery story when they got inside the Yandell store, by removing their old clothing and ionning new suits and outfits, robing themselves with a complete suit of clothing, with shoes j and other articles of wearing apparel. The old clothing was ell in the store and this it is believed will afford a valuable :lue in the chase that has started.

"We could easily raise $200,000 but*we want only $60,000, and the problem ia in the distribution of it. Many people want rpore than we can spare them, and we are under the embarrassment of asking them to take less rather than more. But of course we want the stock distributed as generally over the town and surrounding country as possible." TOOTH TALKS. By On. A. L. OTT. If I should tell a father or mother: "you do not love your child^ you are letting it go day by day carrying in its body something that threatens its whole future health and happiness, and even now endangers life," I would call down their wrath uoon my head. Everoone would say it was false. But let us look into conditions and see if it is false. In the examination of over one hundred mouths of the school children, I did not find a single perfectly healthy mouth. In decayed teeth; some with dead norvos nnrl infaAtad T aav* VWW M*IV> illAVVVVUi JL XVI111U from one to twenty cavities. This is indeed a deplorable condition, but no worse than in other communities. For a boy or girl to 'develop mentally, morally and physically, as the Divine Creator intended, it is absolutely essential that the health be good. It is superflous to say that with decayed teeth and a diseased mouth one cannot have good health, it is impossible to say what one infected tooth will cause in the way of disease. When you allow your child to start the journey of life with a mouth full of dead and decayed teeth, you have failed in your most sacred duty to your offspring. You are exposing them to dangers rrore deadly and devastating than the world wai or the epidemic of "flu" that is on us now. r * ? 1 TAX NOTICE? 1918. Office of the County Treasurer of York County.
