WHAT ARMISTICE DAY MEANS
TO ME
Armistice Day to me is a day of
rejoicing and thanksgiving. It sig
nifies the conclusion of the most
terrible war in the history of the
world, a war that is*an unforgiv
able blot on the record of civili
zation. Millions of'" men gave up
their lives on the battlefields in
defense of their homes and coun
tries. The world was thrown in a
turmoil. International relations
were at a standstill. Millions of
innocent and helpless people suf
fered. Billions of dollars that could
have beep used in the advance
ment of civilization were thrown
away on a war that could have
been avoided.
Defenseless women and child
ren were fired on and sunk in
mid-ocean, without a chance of be
ing saved from death in the re
lentless sea, by monsters who call
ed themselves men. Hate and fear
was bred in the hearts and minds
of the nations at war with each
other. How can nations cooperate
and work together for the good
of all if each nation secretely hates
and fears the other. It cannot be
done. We should let this horrible
war be a warning to future gene
rations.
War is often glorified. Bands
play inspiring music; soldiers clad
in clean, bright uniforms parade
down the streets; flags flutter
in the breeze; people sing patrio
tic songs and cheer wildly. But
all of this does not picture the
horrors of war. It would be more
fitting if miserable wretches cloth
ed in tattered, dirty, bloody
clothing, men maimed and mutilat
ed by high explosives, men con
demned to a living death by dead
ly gases used in warfare, and men
moaning and crying out in agony
were given as examples of the
so called “glory of war.”
Few people think of the moth
ers and fathers whose loved ones
have gone off to war. of the ag
onies they suffer for fear that
those loved ones might be snatch
ed away from them by the cruel
hands of war. They do not consid
er the desolate, bleach, shattered,
war torn villages that were peace
ful and beautiful before they were
destroyed by the ravages of war.
the green forests and smiling,
grassy, sunlit meadows, where
birds sang and the itmid creatures
of nature liver, battered and blast
ed out of all semblance to its
former self, and covered with
crumpled, inert bodies that gave
mute evidence to the horror and
folly of war.

Mr. Russell Marrick, chief.
Dear Sirs:
Some time ago we had the sew
er line to our church stopped, and
you were kind enough to come to
our assistance with your fire
truck and hose and men and help
us get it in working order again.
For this service, we of the Roa
noke Rapids Baptist church wish
to offer our sincere appreciation
and commendation, for without
your aid it would have been ex
tremely difficult for us to have
made the adjustment that was
needed.
The town and people of Roanoke
Rapids have much to be proud of
in their Fire Department, and we
of the Baptist Church offer to
you our heartiest cooperation and
sincerest appreciation and high
est praise.
Sincerely yours,
H. W. BAUCOM, Jr.,
Acting Pastor.

EAR TROUBLE
Being deaf, or even partially so,
is nothing less than a real mis
fortune. To not be able to hear
perfectly is a real deprivation. To
miss those soft, sweet chords in the
mucis—to be shut out from that
wood-bird song—the whipporwill,
the Bob-white! I recall when
spuirrel-hunting—I could plainly
hear my gamey tid-bit, gnawing
into the hickory-nuts, as I moved
slyly about in the forest, rifle at
a “ready.”
A first symptom of impaired
hearing is,—ringing noises in the
ears. It may occur so gradually
that the victim does not notice the
slight buzzing that is aggravated
by “taking cold.” It may then be
described as a “roaring!” Granted
that one has not a cold, or any
other recognizable infection, and
yet his ears ring—few adults or
those past middle-age are totally
free from it.
This symptom may persist for
years, and not cause the patient
to seek relief. It is a little affair,
but one that may repay a little in

telligent investigation.
Remember, ringing in the eai s
usually has its origin in the ear
drum—the part you can reach with
the awful “ear-spoon,” or head
of a pin, or match—or any other
unwise thing! The ear-drum, bear
in mind. It is being interfered
with, and sounds its warning.
What to do? Well—see that there
is no undue accumulation of ma
terial in the ear. Wash out gent
ly with syringe and comfortable
warm water—do it very gently and
yet thoroughly—once a day. Keep
.he external canal clean—free from
wax.
This done—and the noises keep
right on! Most cases are from
hardening of the ear-drum. My
practice is to get Oil of Mullein,
and put a few drops in the ear
once or twice a day. This is a veg
etable oil that seems to work well.
See your doctor.
