Ahoskie, N. C., under the Act of
March 3rd, 187!)
Patrons of AhoBkie, are you
proud of the Ahoskie High
School Commencement? Did
you enjoy these excelent exer
cises? Well, it was a treat to
those who attended and show
ed that the people of Ahoskie
are proud of these exercises.
And to think that such a com
mencement could be given un
der the trying circumstances
that this school has been under
--this-tenn, what could it do if
all worked in harmony. The
writer can't dream of what
could be accomplished.
So, folks lets get together
and have a school here that
every one will be proud of. It
will be one of the greatest hon
ors that our town can have. To
look into the bright faces of
over 250 students, as we have
here, it is a shame on this oom
unity to let things run on as
they have.
It's time for the patrons to
demand that personal politics,
envy, hatred, hypocracy, pre
judiceness to be eliminated. It
is time to lay aside personal
"affection" and get together
and work for a school that no
slurs nor shame can be thrown
at.
Ahoskie is* growing faster
than any town in eastern Nor
th Carolina. Some traveling
man has said that "Ahoskie
has grown faster than any
town he ever saw with the
least amount of capital". So
we can readily see what a
good school would do for this
place. A domitory could be
built and with all forking
harmonously we could make
some of the larger schools take
notice of us. So lets get toge
ther and have a school that
will be an honor to Ahoskie
and a drawing card for this
community.
THE LIFE OF A SAILOR
(By J. Roy Parker)
Since last writing for the
Herald, I have had the great
pleasure of being transferred
- from what the recruits terms
"prison", but what in reality is
one of the very best features of
camp life in that it forces upon
each man that enters the ser
.Vice that beating thq Germans
means sacrifice and the sooner
the raw recruit is made to rea
lize this, the better he will be
by gaining the knowledge
through reality, and better will
be the armed forces of the
country in that there has been
added another unit to the fight
ing forces who can stand any
thing that trench life has to
offer. Really, the twenty-one
' flays spent in the Detention
Camp by the writer were wor
th more to him than any other
twenty-one days of his life,
and add to that fact the store
' house of information picked up
within that time, it was the
?* banner three weeks of his life.
Guy Empey would be shoved
into oblivion should this sailor
undertake to write a book on
"Life in Detention."
But, after all, I have no re
grets to offer that I am not
now a member of the company
that inhabits the. Detention
Camp, although a? this is be
ing written 1 am a visitor to
this place, which contains one
of the Y. M. C. A.'s and which
organization furnish** the
typewriter that types this ar
ticle.
Last week I was transferred
from this camp to another
within the Base and was assi
gned to the Pay Office, where
the accounts of Uncle Sam's
sailors are daily audited tnd
the payroll kept in shape by
the large number of yo.-ti.en
sailors assigned to the same of
fice. Duties at this office ar?
solely clerical and every ?s y I
am occupying a seat at a desk
and doing my part in perform
ing the duties incumbent up >n
those in charge. We are locat
ed within the Jamestown Ex
position Main Building, which
has been transformed into a
busy whirling place. Just be
side this building the Govern
ment is fast erecting a large
and much more stupendous
building which will be used
for headquarters when com
pleted.
No more does the writer
bend over soap and water and
scrub clothes. In stead, soon
after the sun has hid itself be
hind the hills he swings his
hammock and falls into a
sound sleep, that is only brok
en by the early morning bugle.
The sudden change from De
tention Camp to an office mak
es life seem a "song", and
every minute of liberty is well
appreciated on account of the
chance.
^ ? a .i j.i a. r
une pecuiar iacx m?i i
have osberved since being sta
tioned at the Base is the absen
ce of any prognosticatidn as to
the close of the war. Nobody
has time to even discuss this
matter; they are entirely too
busy preparing every minute
to beat the Hun. Instead of
taking up time and thought in
discussion when it will close
they bend every effort and re
source toward the very end of
doing the job quick. But, if
they fail, to do it quick, pre
parations that have been made
and those that are daily being
made are substantial to that
degree that a long continued
war will find this country pre
pared. Every day streets are
being built, new buildings go
up over night almost, sewer
pipes are? laid, as well as a
thorough training of every man
enlisted in the Navy. There's
a good tip here for the people
at home: do not spend your
time puzzling over when the
war will close; buy bonds, buy
War Savings Stamps, produce
foodstuffs, and preserve every
available resource to help in
the war program. Get busy.
So many people fail to rea
lize that they are expected to
do a full share in this war.
They buy a bond, they purch
ase a few War Savings Stamps,
or they plant a little corn, and
then they stop and congratu
late themselves on what they
are doing to help win the war.
People, you have got to do
more than that. You must
place every cent of money and
resources, above what it actu
ally takes for you to subsist on,
at the disposal of the United
States before you have made
any sacrifice, and that you
shall have to do. If you do
not loan your money, there is
plenty of processes by which it
can be taken away from you.
The boys in, the service are ex
amples of real patriotism and
sacrificers, not only of their
lives, but also every day at the
little local postoffice lines of
sailors go by the stamp win
dow and place their little pay
money in War Savings Stamps.
Others are purchasing Liberty
Bonds every day. That is real
sacrifice.

If Health Is Wealth, For Batts
Has Gained Wonderfully
On It.
If health is wealth, J. F.
Batts has been made a million
aire by Mantone.
At the time he started on
Mantone, Batts was physically
down and out. He had indiges
tion so that he couldn't eat
meats or even eggs. The lit
tle food he did force into his
stomach clogged the system,
caused gas and belching.
There V-as a sourish taste in his
mouth. His weight was down
to 128. He had pains in his
back so bad that he couldn't
stoop or do much walking, and
his strength and energy were
low.
"Three weeks after starting
Mantone, my weight increased1
20 pounds", he says. "Now I
Can eat any food set before me
for my digestion is perfect. My
bowels are in first class shape, j
pains have left my back, my
sleep is sound and rest produc-.
ing. Mantone has made me
fee] good all over and I gladly'
praise it to other sufferers,''

Every druggist in town?
your druggist and everybody'?
druggist has noticed a great
falling off in the sale of calo
mel. They all give the same
reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and
people know it, while Dodson '?
Liver Tone is perfectly safe
and gives better results," said
a prominent local druggist.
Dodson's Liver Tone is per
sonally guaranteed by every
druggist who sells it A large
bottle costs 50 cents and if it
fails to give easy relief in
every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation* you
have only to ask for your
money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a
pleasant-tasting, purely vege
table remedy, harmless to both
children and adults. Take a
Bpoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliouancn,
sick headache, acid stomach or
constipated bowels. It dwMat
gripe or cause inconvenience
all the next day like violent
calomel, fate a dose of oalo
mel today and tomorrow jam
will feel weak, siok and nause
ated. Don't lose a day's woak.
Take Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and feel fine, foil of vigor
and ambition.
