To 1919 Taxes ! PAPER MAKES APOLOGY. Little Girl Receives Answer to Complaint About Her Miss ing "Funny Paper. 99 The following editorial from the Greensboro News should receive : a place alongside the famous editorial years" ago in a New "York paper in answer to alitjtle girl's question about Santa Claus: The Daily News acknowledges re ceipt of the following communica tion, which is reproduced verbatim adlitteram: Mooresville, February 8, 1920. Greensboro Daily News, Gentlemen: You didn't send me a funny paper today and I am mad about it. Daddy says if you don't send it next time he will come over there and throw rocks at you. Be sure to send it next Sunday. SARAH STARR, Seven years old. Sarah Starr Seven years old, we apologize. Not for a good deal would we intentionally slight a correspond ent who can write so admirably a let ter. For we find in your communica tion, Sarah, much to admire beyond its correctness of spelling and punc tuation. Would that we might learn of you the art of putting our thoughts into words at once so inclu sive and so exclusive that none could fail to understand what we meant, all that we meant, and no more than we meant. Would that we might borrow something of your candor, your clarity of thought and economy of phrase. But you have the advantage of us, Sarah Starr. To you it is given to speak what you think, without fear and without favor, without distortion or hyperbole. We ''grown-ups" pre tend to do that sometimes; we pre tend to such an extent that we occa sionally deceive ourselves into the belief that we have succeeded; but we never really succeed. We are afraid of so many things that have never shadowed your clear soul. Ancient hypocrisies stop our mouths, evils stronger than our feeble courage dare face, halt our pens, and the truth re mains unuttered. Like Mr. Pickwick, whom you will know when you are a little older, our concern is to shout with the crowd, and if there are two crowdSj shout with the largest. We cannot hope to rival your force fulness, Sarah, because we cannot ri val your guilelessness. You cannot understand as yet but in a few years you will. And may you net find out too late that the courageous soul is the soul as clear of secret guilt as a child's. For to be without fear, it is necessary first to be without re proach. We have seen the pressman, and he says he is already at work on the funny papers for next Sunday. And we have seen the mailing clerk, and told him that if you fail to get one, we shall offer to hold your Daddy's coat while he throws rocks. So we think that it will be there this time. Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining: of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing: will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir culars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo, O. FIVE SUNDAYS IN FEB RUARY AGAIN IN 1948 Asheville Times. The world will experience five Sunday February this year for the first time in forty years, and for the last time during the coming twenty eight years, unless the calendar in vogue at the present time should be modified. If 1900 had been a leap year the five Sunday February would have happened in 1908, but the one day that dropped out then put the five Sunday February off for twelve years. Since 1800 there was a five-Sunday February in 1824, in 1852, in 1888, in 1920, and the next one will be in 1948. In other words, if the old world didn't slip a cog three centesimal years out of every four ,there would be five Sundays in February every twenty-eight years. N.

This regiment, now at approximate skeleton strength, has been assigned to North Carolina for replacements, and Sec retary Baker says he hopes the new plan will develop a feeling of State pride in this particular regiment. Final casualty figures announced by the adjutant general show that North Carolina casualties in the re cent war were as follows: Killed in action, 40 officers, 644 men ;died of wounds, 10 officers, 228 men; died of "disease, 6 officers, 595 men; died of accident, 7 officers, 36 men; drowned, 3 men; suicide, 2 men; murder or homicide. 5 men: execution, general courtmartial, 1 man; other known causes,, 10 men; cause unde termined, 18 men; presumed dead, 5 men. Total officers, 63; total men, 1,547. The table carries no names nor further details. The figures also show the follow ing regarding prisoners of war and wounded : Total prisoners, 7 officers and 53 men; all repatriated except one man, unaccounted for. Slightly wounded, 81 officers, 1,507 men; severely wounded, 58 officers, 1,709 men; degree ' undetermined, 34 officers, 739 men. Total wounded, 173 officers and 3,955 men. In its record for bravery and com bat, North Carolina stands cur prom inently among other States, popula tion considered. New York had a death list of 254 officers and 4,528 men; Pennsylvania, 158 officers and 3,796 men; with cor responding figures, as a rule, for oth er populous States. South Carolina's death list was 25 officers and 308 men; Virginia, 27 officers and 637 men; Georgia, 43 officers and 306 men. Although there were no State lines in the country's patriotism, the war department puts out its figures by. States in answer to numerous in quiries asking for an analysis of the casualty figures of the American ex peditionary forces. Figures by di visions had previously been given. PLAN HOME GARDEN BEFORE YOU PLANT "The well planned home garden is the one that produces the most food and it's easier to care f or, too." This is the opinion of home gardeners who know from experience that it pays to plan before they plant. Success with the home garden means more than is often realized even by the home gardener. Here are some things the home garden does: 1. Supplies cheaper food. 2. Furnishes fresher, better tast ing food. 3. Saves transportation. 4. Makes it possible to utilize spare moments. 5. Supplies a greater variety of food. 6. Means more health for the family, because the body needs fresh vegetables and fruit. 7. Furnishes food on a mowent's notice. 8. Makes it easier for the house wife to prepare meals. . 9. Helps to educate the children, and keep them interested at home. 10. " Means better meals next win ter when the garden surplus is can ned at home. The well kept garden is said to be the exception where the principal crop is cotton, and, . even in sections where commercial vegetable produc tion is the main industry, there is a scarcity of fresh vegetables during a part of the year. A well cared for home garden yields larger returns than any area of the same size plant ed to the usual farm crops, according to persons who have studied home gardening. Plans for the home garden that will make it more productive are con tained in two publications sent out by the Agricultural Extension Service, Raleigh. Ask for Extension circular 43, or U. S. Farmers' Bulletin 934, They will be sent, postage free, while the supply lasts. LOSlANGElMSOTMAm THREW MONEY -AWAY M rs. Parker Spent H u rid reds Seekir RestdreHer. 4My troubles have been com pletely - overcome since I began akiDff,TaDlac;apd J ing the best health Fbave had in twen ty years," said Mrs. Parker, of 423 East Third St., Los Angeles, CaL : T spent several thousand dollars for medicines .and treatments," she continued, "but it was just money thrown away, for I never got any relief from my suffering until I commenced taking Tanlac. I was practically an invalid for twenty years and all my trouble was caused by the awful condition of my stomach. A great part of the time I was confined to my bed, simply too weak to be up. I could eat but very little, and that dis agreed with me so that I suffered horribly from gas. To make matt ers worse I was attacked with rheumatism in my arms and legs, which caused me no end of pain and misery. I never got a good niget's sleep and became extremely nervous. Well, I have just finished my fourth bottle of Tanlac and' it is wonderful the way I have improv ed. Why, I feel so well and strong I do all my own housework with out the least trouble. Last week I actually did the family washing and it has been many years since I did a thing like that. My appetite is fine and nothing disagrees with me. I sleep restf ully. and get up feeling refreshed every morning. The rheumatism has entirely dis appeared and Tanlac deserves every bit of the credit." Tanlac is sold In Marion by J. W .
