THURSDAY NOVEMBER, 10th, 1921
In line with the proclamation of
Governor Morrison, the local minis
ters and church people will assemble
at the Methodist Church in this city
and engage in a joint service of pray
er on Armistice Day,for success of the
Disarmament Conference of the world
Avhich meets in Washington on Friday,
of this week. The schools will also
hold exercises appropriate to the day.
Exercises appropriate to the day
will be held Friday afternoon and ev
ening at the graded school auditorium,
by the school children. Dr. Lingls
will make an address.
If the nations could cut out spend
ing so much money for war the cost of
living would be lowered. Pay i'or the
last war we are compelled to do; but
spending freely on the next is what
makes the lo .d so heavy. The national
expense is the big load, and it has been
and is the real problem.
The Lincoln County fair, which
was a success this year, can be made
a greater fair next year by the co
operation of the people of the entire
county. s The fair management hopes
to increase the capital stock of the
fair association that they may have
more funds with which to continue to
improve the fair and it is hoped that
the people will respond liberally. The
county fair is a county, wide institu
tion and deserves county wide interest
and co-operation. 1
A cause that should appeal to every
man, woman and child in this com
munity is the orphanages of this
state. Every church and every lodge
has an orphanage, and they are sup
ported by free will offerings At
Thanksgiving an extra gift is asked
of all a day's income to the orphan
age of your choice. Let everybody
lay aside now that amount and don't
wait to be asked for it, turn it in. It
will prove a blessing to you as well
as a great help to the fatherless.

memberships is on beginning on the

takes.
FROM FLANDERS FIELDS
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard among the guns below.
"We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields."
One of those who fell in Flanders
fields, immortalized by John McCrae
in these inspired lines, is to be reinter
red in Arlington National Cemetery,
with appropriate solemn ceremony, as
the Nations' symbolic tribute to all
the unknown heroes now resting in
Flanders fields. It is highly fitting
that on this day we should pause a
moment from the duties, cares or
pleasures of the hour, for, in the
words of President Harding's Armis
tice Day proclamation, "a period of
flnt nraver of thanks to the Giver
of All Good for these valuable and
valarous lives and of supplication for
His Divine Mercy and His blessings
upon our beloved country."
'Jhree years ago the world was cele
brating the signing of the armistice
which marked the end of the great
est war of all history. In the nine
teen months and five days that elapsed
from April 6, 1917, to Nov 11, 1918,
this country had raised and equipped
an army of more than 4,000,000 men,
transported 2,000,000 troops to
France and by the sheer weight of its
military and economic power brought
the war to an end.
Of the great army of American
soldiers, whose achievements and val
or won -the gratitude and admiration
of their French and English comrades-in-arms,
many are forever overseas.
They fell, and " poppies blow between
the crosses, row on row," that mark
their place. Of the inidentified dead
resting there, the "unknown hero," in
whose memory the Arlington cere
monies are held, is typical and repre
, sentative, and the homage paid him
is extended in sentiment by the grate
ful American people to embrace all
those who lie in Flanders fields.
This Armistice Day is a good time
for us to turn over a new leaf if we
Unn mii in aar evidences of
appreciation and gratitude to those
who gave their all that autocracy
should not triumph over liberty. We
cannot, if we are worthy of their sac
rifices, regard our obligations lightly.
Mr. Frank Nixon of LowesviUa,
THE WORK OF THE AMERICAN
RED CROSS IN TIME OF PEACE
We are all more or less familiar
with the work of the Red Cross in
time of war but few of us realize that
there is a work for it to do now. That
though the war has ended many of the
responsibilities laid upon us by the
war have just begun.
Take, for instance, the work for our
I disabled, soldiers. There were 17500
nf these in hospitals in 1920. The
number has increased to 36500 in 1921
and indications point to much larger
number next year. The Red Cross
acts as an auxiliary to the government
in finding these men, setting in mo
tion machinery to get them the hospi
tal treatment they need and which the
I government is glad to give if the man
can be found and his claim proved.
The Red Cross also ministers in many
ways to the men while they are in the
hospitals. It also renders aid to the
soldiers family while. he is being re
built in the hospital. It has spent
I - ... r
ten million dollars in one year in one
way or another in helping the ex-ser
vice man and his family.
It is hardly necessary to speak of the
relief rendered by the organisation in
case of disaster and accident as this
is of common knowledge 'but it may
interest some to know that during
the last year the Red Cross rendered
relief in emergencies caused by sev
enty disasters in the United States.
The Red Cross is also helping in the
reconstruction of the world. It has
made large appropriations for starv
ing children in Europe and for famine
relief in China.,
These activities amply justify its
existence and support in time of
npacp. There is. however, another
line of activity in which it is engag
ed that conies very near to all of us
and which alone would justify its con
tinuance in peace time. It is helping
to safeguard American life by giving
instruction in the care of infants,
teaching the care of the sick, better
sanitation, and protection from con
tagious diseases. In cooperation with
the State Board of Health it is doing
a great work of this kind in North
Carolina through its County Healt'i
Nurses.
The Lincoln County Chapter of the
Red Cross has, with some aid from the
County Commissioners, maintained
one of these nurses in Lincoln County
for over a year. The writer is the
Chairman of the Chapter's committee
on Nursing Activities and desires to
testily 10 xne untiring uiukciv.c
to the capability of the nurse. Also
to his belief that a work is being done
that will have far reaching results for
good if it can be continued. He be
lieves there are many people in the
county that will agree with him in
this belief. But if this work is to con
tinued we must remember that the
Red Cross is entirely dependent on the
Annual Roll Call for the funds with
WI1H2I1 I.U waiijr vi. ........
Tlnta imtv is allowed to use all
special funds contributed for local
work and one half of all membership
fees, the other half goes to the gener
al work. If therefore, you become a
member you become a supporter of all
the work indicated above.
We should remember that "The
thing which we call human society
cannot recover from the ravages of
war and sustain itself in the making
of a new and lasting peace unless it
learns the value of common service
for the common good."
We should also remember that the sup
port of your County Health Nurse is
purely a Lincoln County affair, lhat
We have not drawn and cannot draw
a dollar from any outside fund. It
is for us to say whether the work
shall go on and we must say it be
tween Nov. 11th and Nov. 24th. You
can make yourself heard for one dol
lar. You can speak much louder if
such a cause has sufficient appeal to
your heart.
Willis S. Wilson,
Chairman of Committee on Nursing
Activities.

Senator Reed of Missouri thinks
it a dangerous precedent that would
require a Senator of the United
States to prove statements made on
the floor of the Senate. He opposed
investigation of the Watson charges'
of lynching soldiers on the ground
that Senators' statements in debate
are privileged and that any in
vestigation of charges made by Sen
ators is a precedent that should not
be set. In brief the Senator from
Missouri holds in effect that a Sen
ator should have the privilege of
saying what he pleases, of making
anv sort of charge, without being re
quired to submit the proof. The an
swer to that is that a Senator shoulu
have no more privileges than the
citizen when he mates charges that
seriously affect other peopltf; and
aside from that the Watson charges
are on a different footing. They
practically charge army officials, for
whom the government is responsible
with murder. The public has a right
to know whether that charge is true.
And the rights of the public are great
er than senatorial precedents.

Nowhere in the wide, wide world can you Uuy such motor car
value as is being offered today in the new Hupmobile prices.
Many recent improvements have been added to the car, such as
heavier frame, Marshall spring cushions, thirteen plate battery
instead of eleven plate, higher grade Stromberg carburetor, non
skid cord tires all around, etc. The new car rides 100 per cent
better than the former ones. The well known Hupmobile quality
is maintained throughout. In this production, there is more
value, dollar for dollar, we believe than can be equalled on the

REV. W. O. GOODE LOSES
HIS AUTO AND CLOTHING
, The following dispatch from
Greensboro will be of interest to the
many friends of the interested par
ties, Rev Mr. Goode being a brother of
Mr. R. C. Goode and Mrs. Plato Millar
of Lincolnton.
The automobile and many articles
of clothing belonging to Rev. W. 0.
Goode were stolen Friday night by
thieves, the car being stolen from in
front of the residence of B. B. Ta-
tum, on Schenck street, while Mr.
and Mrs. Goode were dinner guests
at the Tatum home.
Mr. Goode, former pastor of the
Park Place Methodist church, was ap
pointed educational secretary of the
Western North Carolina Conference
at the conference held at High Point
and had planfted to leave Greensboro
this morning for Hickory, where his
headquarters will be made. He had
already shipped his furniture to Hick
ory and had planned to carry most of
the clothing belonging to himself and
to Mrs. Goode in his automobile. H
had loaded this into his car last night
preparatory to leaving the city this
morning.
While he and Mrs. Goode were at
the Tatum home he left the car, con
taining several suit cases full of
clothes , on the street. The thieves
made away with both the car and the
clothing. The loss, besides' the car
will amount to several hundred dollars.

WASHINGTON IS FULL OF
COLOR AS NATIONS GATHER
FOR DISARMAMENT MEET
(By H. E. C. Bryant, in Charlotte Ob.)
Washington, Nov. 8. The arms
conference will bring to Washington
the greatest conglomeration of people
ever assembled here. Already the
corridors of the hotels have changed
populations and personal decorations.
Peacock Alley at the New Willard,
looks like a North Carolina forest in
fall time. Every sort of color worn
by man can be seen there.
A Worth While Show.
There is something quite fascinat
ing about the whole thing. The show
is. going to be worth while.
Many good republicans now realize
that President Wilson had broad vis
ion and was about right when he said
that the times demanded a league of
nations. The entire world is rocking
in the boat. This is apparent in all
business reports.
The Wilson demonstration, planned
by 7 prominent Washington women,
promises sad moments for the repub
licans, for it has become apparent
here within recent months that the
ex-President is sinking deeper into the
heartsof the people who attend shows,
and keep abreast of conditions in other
ways. Every time the picture of Wil
son goes on the movie screen or the
man in flesh and blood appears in pub
lic an outburst of applause rends the
air in that immediate neighborhood.
These outbursts are spontaneous, As
days go by the average honest person
becomes more and more convinced
that Woodrow Wilson was on the
level with all mankind, and that he
had wisdom and courage far beyound
other public men they have had any
thing to do with.
The politicians abused him because
they could not use him. This was true
of democrats as. well as republicans.
Since he quit the white house and the
democrats have no patronage to grab
for Mr. Wilson is popular with all.
The "Lame Lion of S Street" is wor
rying the very souls of the trimming,
time-serving republicans now hooked
up with the Harding administration.
President Harding is kind hearted
and means well, but he is under obli
gations to many hard-driving parti
sans. He likes to get away from tha
white house and "rest," His days off
are plentiful. An actor on a stage
here last week made a decided, hit
when he said that the President week
ended from Thursday until Tuesday,
and played golf on Wednesday. 'Tha
crowd just howled, for the papers
make it appear that Mr. Harding's
days and nights are spent in week
ends or on the gojf links.
As the Harding stock goes down
the Wilson memory becomes fresher.
That is the thing that hurts the republicans.

stake, beheaded or hanged as a sor
cerer and magician. His feats in
mind-reading are bewildering; the
facility with which he hypnotizes the
subjects and compels them to obey
his beck and call is truly awe-inspir
ing. His control over a stage full of
people, all strangers to him, is sim
ply wonderful. It is common scene
at one of the Fayssoux performances
to behold a group of prominent citi
zens cutting the most fantastic ca
pers imaginable. Here we see a
staid old resident standing at one end
of the stage delivering an address on
the folly of the anti-saloon move
ment, while a few feet away some
one identified with the liquor inter
ests is making a temperance speech;
in another spot a quartet of men who
never attempted to sing a note in all
their lives are roaring a rollicking
chorus, near by another party of citi
zens are seated in an imaginary basket-car
taking an imaginary ride un
der an imaginary baloon. The com
ic effects are better imagined than
described. Fayssoux will begin an
engagement of 3 nights at the Ford
Theatre, Monday Nov. 14th.
