THURSDAY, JAN. 2, 1919 The people will just now begin to realize the money cost of the war. No man 14 too old to learn yet many act as |f they already knew it all. o This county is not like it was ton years ago an<l ten years from now it will be still rjiore different. o The war is over but not the hard times which jthe war of necessity brought alonrf to the people. o Each returning soldier from the battle fields of France will have his own individual story to tell of his experience "ovojthorc." o We are all counting on conditions being a lot better after all our armies are disbanded and the soldiers back into jobs of their own. * Let each individual farmer of this county begin now to lay his plans for making a bigger crop arid having a better income than he did during the old year. ? We all hope and expect that money crops will bring a good price this year; but nevqr forget that we may all get fooled. We have been fooled before you know. o The most important thing this year is a bountiful footl supply if we would have plenty at home and to spare for the peoples of the war torn countries of Europe. o Some people cannot remain long in any one place. Moving from one place to another seems their second nature and thoy enjoy it although it takes all their extra income to gratify it. ? o One of the most valuable things for the farmer is tin exchange of knowledge with other farmers of the things which have been learned while following individual plans of operation. But the medium of exchange has never been fixed. , " ?o?? While reports have been circulated to the effect that remedies had been found to stamp out influenza; national health officials say that no effective vaccine such as for small pox has as yet been discovered. The only way with this epidemic is to wear it out. i'O?? The purpose of the peace conference is to put an end to war; and it will get us relief, But it is useless to expect that war can be permanently stricken off from the experi etice of the world. Wars have boon ever since the woi^d has been, and vcars will continue at times until the world is no more. Jt is impossible to make things so that! war cannot again happen ? There is r.o way to prevent it absolutely. l ; . I i' * s''-. THEY RINGjlN 1919. I Tuesday night was observed here i in the usual manner . by waiting up to bid the old year ajiieu and to welcome the 1919 youngster in.

The exercises were held at the Whittcmore Graded School and consisted of appropriate songs, readings and recitations, mostly by students of the school. ? o t Stories reached Conway a few days i ago about the burning of a house 1 somewhere in the county and a no- t gro man nearly lost his life in the I / i n /v. * i i i j__i i* names. rmquiry mueu to esiaonsn c any facts about the matter. 1 ? w m v ^ H.
