In the spring time young men's fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love, etc., but, oh, "boy? these thoughts are now ex pensive. As a preliminary, in the courting days of ten years ago, a fellow could take his best girl a bunch of carna tions, a dozen or so, at about two cents apiece, and a 60-cent box of candy with lace decorations on the box, gilded tongs, candied cherries and everything. Today carnations are offered at $1.50 the dozen ($4 at Christmas or other holidays). He couldn't have found a motion- picture house charging more than 5 10 cents. Now the prices range from 30 cents to $2 for a seven-reel movie. " After the flowers, candy and the atre stage is well passed, the en gagement ring problem looms. There was a time, a decade ago, when one might have possessed oneself of a real honest-to-goodness diamond of one carat caliber lor nw. loaay they might glint out of the jeweler's window, nestling in lined boxes, shaded by cards bearing the figures $250. .War Memorials Are Planned Many Places (By tV United Press) Washington, April 5.

C. A. worker who more than made good, judging from numerous newspaper accounts, and who was a hero several times over on one part of the front, will speak to the Sunday school at 10 and to the congregation at 11. Maj. Claude Pridgen, 113th Field Artil lery, will speak at the night service. (By D. T. Edwards) In cooperation with the County Health Department the Kinston Chapter, American Red Cross, will establish a public health nursing ser vice in the near future. The pro gram for such service i3 now being developed and it is hoped to have it in full operation by May 1. ' The Lenoir County nursing ser vice will be under the direction of the (Southern division, Red Cross department of nursing, of which Miss Jane Vande Vrede of Atlanta, isthe head. It will cover the entire coun ty, including the towns of Kinston and LaGrange. The chairman of the nursing "com mittee, under whose direction the service will be rendered, is Dr. Wick liffe, county health officer. In this way Dr. Wickliffe will have the prac tical direction of the work and a very close relation with the County Health Department Will bo maintained. Other members of the chapter nursing committee will be announced later. . A Peace Program. This town and county nursing ser vice is one of the main features of the American Red Cross peace pro gram. It is independent of the Red Gross home1 service department, which work will continue to operate with such splendid results as it now getting. The world knows how immensely useful the Red Cross was during the world war and has been during specr ial catastrophes, such as the influ enza epidemic just experienced. Now that peace is ni'ar 'at hand the Red Cross proposes a peace program which means the development of those conditions which will make America more fit and the land of a happier and more prosperous people. A Dark Record. The draft revealed to us the exist ence of grave conditions. When our man-power was summoned to quali fy for world service, 800,000 men one out of every 10 had to be re jected as unfit because of physical disability. The Red Cross, clarify ing every section of this great land, desires to remedy this condition, Last year in America we lost from influenza .3-10,000 lives and from tuberculosis 150,000 lives. Through instruction as to proper methods of living and caring for health the Red Cross 'hopes to limit such losses. Bright Hope for the Future. Thus America's great humanitari an organization, with seventeen mil lion adult members and nine million junior members, plans to play a very large part in the reconstruction days of the future. Knowledge of health laws is what is needed and the Ked Jross classes in home care of the sick and dietetics will give this knowledge, which in real ' truth will become a mighty power in our midst. Thus the future is bright with promise resulting from this move ment; for the plan is to protect the home and the American home is the basis of America's future. mined opposition at any time. Kinston Soldiers to Be Flocking Home by First of Week, Said BUY WAR-SAYINGS STAMPS. although there has been little deter- warehouse bill he introduced in the General A3sembJy patterned, after the South Carolina and Federal bills, and. which failed, and the bill that was passed prescribing a tax of 25 cents on every bale ginned. This, he said, will raise $500,000 in two years. , -. :- If cotton brings only 20 cents next i fall, declared the Wilmingtonian, "the farmer can't stand it." ' " The planters must "stand by" dur ing the next 40 days, asserted Mr. Cooper. Lenoir's cotton growers must send $200 to the State Associa tion to help advertise the curtail ment plan and aid in keeping the movement going at full tilt until the planting season is past and the dan ger over. , Success of the curtail ment movement, he declared, will mean "the difference between 40- cent and 15-eent cotton next fall.w All other industries are organized, why shouldn't the cotton growers haye an organization? he asked. "Help out with money and with moral support and the day will be won," he said; "otherwise we axe down and out." He urged that cot ton now being held and exposed to the weather be covered up 'Mon't let it rot." Senator Cooper told of the progress of the campaiga in the South. Some states are . reducing more than the pledged 33 1-3 pet cent. . North Carolina stands at 24 per cent. Many of Kinston's soldiers at Camp Jackson will be home by Mon day, according to unofficial advices received here. . Among others, Ben. Foxman, a headquarters noncom. of the 119th Infantry, writes that "all the boys" will be here by that date. George Skinner, with another unit, wires that he will be home within a few days. One or two veterans of the v30thh'ave ' already arrived. So far as announced, nothing has been dona toward giving the heroes of Beliicourt and Kemmel Hill a formal reception. They will, it is presumed, simply como home, par take of the fatted calf and renew ac quaintances. Not that some sort of celebration, which may come as late as July 4, will not be had. The 119th, East Carolna's own, pa raded at Columbia Saturday, under command of Col. J. Van B. Metts of Wilmington. Hundreds of North Carolinians - joined thousands - of South Carolinians in applauding the marching 'heroes. . Italians Don't Want Games With Frills (By O. B. Keeler) Atlanta, AJpril 5. According to Jimmy Clark, an old Cornell man, and not so awfully old, at that the Italians are taking to athletics in a remarkable imanner, with a de cided preference for games in which a lot of players take part and the rules are not too numerous and re strictive. Jimmy says the Italian temperament doesn't take kindly to restraint when engaged in active competition. "The noble descendants of the Cae sars are in a sort of (transitional stage," writes Jimmy. "They do not take readily to baseball or to base- ketball, as do the French, these sports as well as football, are too technical for them." But if you want to see a smiling son of Sunny It bust a trace, just offer him a prize of one (1) cigar ette as a member of a tug-of-war and he'll drag at that rope until his eyes nearly pop out. Poultry Yielded This Woman $1.14 an Hour (By The United Press) Washington, April 6. A sideline for the farmer's wife which yields $1.14 for every hour she puts into t is worth the consideration of every farm woman. A Wabash County, Ind., woman has demonstrated that this amount can be made by keeping chickens. Last yearthe local county agent interested this woman in keep- ng a farm poultry flock, and as a result she produced a net profit of 172.24. She kept an accurate ac count of her work and found at the end of the season that she had re- eived SI. 14 an hour for the time she actually devoted to caring for her flock. Extension Men to Boost Sheep Raising ."""" -(By the United Press) " Washington, April 5. The 25 sheep-extension men of the Depart ment of lAgriculture now working in cooperative demonstration projects with State extension forces will be under the supervision of G. II. Bedell, who was formerly county' agent of Greene County, Pa. . ' The purpose of this organization is to interest farmers in raising more and better sheep, to sell their wool clips cooperatively, and to unite them in their fight against dogs. French Want a Big Army Sent tf East (By the United Press) Washington, April 5. The only way to stop the bolshevik menace, French opinion holds, is to send an army of 500,000 men to erect a bar rier between Russia and Hungary, This is criticised as being like lock ing the barn after the horse has been stolen, since Lenine and the Hungari an government are already in close communication and large numbers of Russians are crossing the Car- pathians into Hungary.- French statesmen, however, do not think that the case is hopeless. According to them, 500,000" AlKed troop3 might establish a barrier from the Baltic to the Hack Sea by co operation with Poland and Rou mania. ' BACK FROM WILMINGTON. Rev. W.
