Charlie says he will always re member October 13, 15)17, he received his baptismal fire in the Loraine region. When asked if he was very much afraid, said "No, just scared most to death". He remained in the front line trench es there forton days before being relieved. His second experience on the firing line was in the Toul sector, where he was gased twice. On May 28th in the Battle of Contigny after he and his com rades had taken the town from the Huns, he was shot by a snip er while standing at the door of his dugout. He was taken to a hospital where he spent six weeks. He went into action the fourth time on July 8th in the Chateau Thierry sector. He was relieved here after eighteen hours of continuous duty and it was in the rear of this sector where the horse he was riding was killed by flying sharpnel and fell on him, wounding his leg. On July the 24th he sailed for America and reported at Camp Merritt on August 5th, as in structor in communication. He was transferred later to Camp Kix, and Camp Mead, where he will report when he leaves home on the 22nd. It is interesting to hear Srgt Barkley tell of his experiences over there, and he is justly proud of his service, but says he is not so anxious to go back, "because he might not be as lucky the next time". TOWN COMMISSIONERS HOLD REGULAR MEETING The Board of Commissioners of the town of Roanoke Rapids, held their regular monthly meet ing in the office of the Treasurer, A. L Clark, last Tuesday even ing. After routine business was attended to the matter of putting cement floors in the san itary closets now being installed in the town was taken up. The L. R. S. closets installed for the Roanoke Mjlls Company in their mill village are provided with concrete floors and the com mittee in charge of the town con tract took for granted that the concrete floors were included in the Cement Products Company's bid, this item, however, was not included in the bid, the cement floors installed by the Roanoke Mills Co. being an extra in L R. S. construction. Mr. Smith, the Company re presentative presented these facts, but in consideration of al lowing this false impression to maintain, agreed to put the ce ment floors in at about one-fourth the actual coat WITH THE CHURCHES AOSuaUOwrta TTi.n.d) Rtt.

The Government cannot permit con Restion to arise which will para- lyze or slow down the transpor tation of its own traffic, conse quently when Winter weather sets in and operation becomes freight but the slowing down of commercial transportation will lessen the available car Bupply, not to speak of the added number that will be required to take care of increasing - Government de mands. The volume of traffic now moving is large and will in evitably grow larger as Winter approaches. Everv ell'ort should, therefore, be made to induce all classes of shippers and receivers, particu lar large industries, to cooperate with the Government by stock ing up during the remainining months of good weather. Many plants wiih large operations may not have surplus storage facilities but they should be induced to provide same in some manner. The question of expense of pro viding these facilities at present may seem large, but the possibil ity of having to close down for lack of fuel and materials may cause a far grater loss. On reflection we feel sure that no thoughtful person can fail to i appreciate the paramount necess- fSStSSSJ5. as is possible, even at a consider able expense in the way of pro viding additional facilities, in vesting more capital, etc., and every cooperation should be ex tended to Railway representa tives, as a branch of our Govern ment, to assist in this most im Iportant undertaking.
