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.

The colored people of Conway

fair for two sweet little children like
1 these not to have a home of their
