Some Facts About the Government j
Farm Lands for Returning Soldiers
The prnpusition to provide
'arms for the returning soldiers
' . - like a good thing It sug
-o many new phases and
ii v.evr»» so many naw results of
•a .u that it will Ik* discussed thor
n ■ i:l\ and probably put into
;n , • iiNi rlh Carolina las u
o' ~f unfilled land If we '-an
'l*' away at the start from the
•ii a that putting soldiers on the
lir'd is a land speculation scheme
tl .it will bo wise Also if we can
" i t.wav from the proposition
t hnt the land must lie taken awav
from the owners for nothing that
- .vi!l he will be wi.se The plain
Irtiih is that the initial cost of
tli • land is an incident, and has
little to do with the merits of the
fci'iu me. Land values are large-
Is «i eculative and underth« gov
eminent plan as the land is not
to lie salable by the soldier if he
gets it the selling; value is airlin
er consideration. If he cannot
*v .1 e i>n the land enough so that
iho lirst cost of the land is a
mi. ill matter he w ill be wise to
*!;■ v off it entirely. If he cannot
mike the land pay him six ptr
cent on a valuation of at least
sl'ho aii acre he niakps a mistake
td undertake farming at all
The price a farmer pay far
hi- land is not what determines
i - successor failure. So wanv
oi..er tl ingg enter into th«
t a it is the other things that
must he eonsidi red It is because
11 the consideration of these otb
••r things that the proposition to
,iut ihe joldiors on the land is a
if. ul one. In taking a step of
this kind the government will go
far enough to see that the sol
!i. ris provided with sufficient
spiral an.i equiprfSenf to farm
There is an essential of
success. He will be put upon a
fa. rn where farming is his busi
ness and not land speculation. He
will be provided with a small
larm and his interest will be in
what his land can produce, not
what he can get for it in the
y ars to come. The real worth
ot a farm is not what it will pro
duce in crops. We do not esti
mate farms that way at all, but
by what they can bring if sold.
I l ' the government will put s 1-1
diers on small farms and stand]
by them and make of them suc-j
cessful producers the benefits
wili extend to the whole com
munity and will be of far great
er importance than merely pro
viding the soldier something to
do or than adding to the land
values of the community Possi
bly a project of this kind might
lead to a revolution of the spec
ulative land farming and make
of larmiug a really business oc
cupation.

Co-operate jWith Him
Many people do not understand
that they themselves are respon
s ihlo for the control of whooping
coupfh, diptheria, scarlet fever
and other diseases their
children. They expect the quar
antine authorities to stop the
-pread of contagions, when with
out the hearty co-operation of
t 11 1» parents the authorities are
aa helpless as the children who
£et the disease Refure any ap
preciable amount of Rood can re
sult from the oll'orts to control
diseases among children, parents
must realize their respiitisibility
and folio.v the advice of the
quarantine officer. It Is only by
the eo operation uf the people
with the quarantine eJl'icer that
diseases may fit i and
the lives of many chflahm spar
ed. This responsibility rests mi
every period to whoso care (.iod
has intrusted a child.
Any mother in North Carolina
would sucrifce her life rathoi
than iHie her child die or even
suffer by the cruel act of a mur
derer. Now, it makes no mate
rial difference whether a child
suffers and dies by brut d punish
ment or by disease. If it be true
tlmt sufferiiiK is autftt'intf and
death in death, then parents are
not consistent when they would
sacrifice their livesjto protect i>
child from a at th»
same time niaky no attempt ti
protect it from the diseases that
kill a thousand times more ehil
dren. Parents should cotisidei
the results of diseases more eeri
nusly and make greater attempts:"
to pr. tect theirchildren.
Children should be taught n"f
to use a towel, a drinking cup,
knife, fork or other eating uten
sil used by another until it has
aeen boiled; not to vat from tht
•iimu piece of bread with another;
u> wash their hand« Uil'ore «h -
uiK, and to sneeze and rough
with a handkerchief over the
iimu li and nose Disease
live in the mouths of well people
as well as in the mouths of. the
siek, and tbene simple precau
toiis may prevent thwir spreai
from one person to another,
Kva ry parent should do his duty
in trvinK to protect children
from diseases by keeping all sick
children at home away from well
ehihlren and notifying the tpiui
aiitine officer of every case. Ttu
ipiataintine idficers will advise as
to the measures necessary to pre
vent the spread of the disease.
Ihe reports of all cases are re
quired by law.

We wish for our readers a moat
joyous and happy Christmas. Not
in the history of this age have
we had more sorrow than we
have had thii year. Prayers have
ascended from everywhere that
the war should end and peace
might reign That prayer seems
to have been answered for arm
eel hostilities havo ceased and
our boys are not now being shot
down on the field of battle. We
thought this would satisfy our
desires, but such is not the ease.
Many troubles, plagues and
scourges surround us and more
of our loved ones have been ta
ken from us by influenza within
ninety days than wt; lo9t by all
the horrible instruments of death
that couid be devised by the cruel
Huns.
This should remind us that the
things of this life are transitory
and we need not expect much
pleasure in them. Our hopes for
for tomorrow are our greatest
pleasure for that day. In one
thing only is a man's hopes
cheered by a perfect
of the things hoped forand that
is the peace of fin*  >od. Then let
us hope thai this Chriatmas day,
the day which we reverence as
the day upon which Jesus, our
Saviour, was born, is spent in
proper spirit. Let us keep sober
that we may have a sensible re
alisation of our duties to ourselveß
and to our neighbors Let us re
member the sick who no much
need the sympathy of our hearts
and the help of our hands. Let
us remember the lonely and bro
ken hearted, let the warmth and
light of our loto be shed in their
hearts that ti.ey may realise that
our Ii van came from a Superior
being. Let u* remember the
starving nution« of the esrth and
render them such assistance as
we- may be able, our sacrifice will
help us.
This is tha Christmas that
should not be given to selfish
pleasures but should be spent in
true remembrance of the Saviour
of the world.
