JACKSON CO. JOURNAL . . ? ? OJUf TOMPKINS, - - Editor Published Weekly By the MCKSON COUNTY JOURNAL 00 Entered as second el ass matter at Sylva, N. C. . ! ' ? * The marines told it to Nicaragua. The fish commission should teach the trout under six injehes not to bite. V ' ;C> The ties in advertise binds the hrme trade to the home merchant. There dont be any innocence abroad when tho American Legion goos over. There are (some farmers in the Mississippi Valley who really need relief. Dora is so dumb that siie thinks the Kentucky Derby is a new style in 'men's spring hats. The woman tempted me, and I did cat. That alibi has been used all the way from Adam toJuddGray. % y '? > The main trouble with accidents is that the victims are usually as, dead as if the acts were intentional. o We assert without fear of sue I cessful contradictions, that the United States Marines won the war, in Nic aragua. > , v 50 years ago a wilderness, yester day a straggling village, today a beautiful town, tomorrow a busy city; that's Sylva. We wonder at Earl Carroll suf fering the loss of his memory. If it had been his eyesight mei^ perhajH would understand. Milking the dollars from the cow is one of the surest ways to gic.it and permanent prosperity in Jack son county. If we may be pardoned for pun ning on such a tragic subject, we 'would say that the French Aces played the duce. A1 can't count on the Smith vote as a block. We personally know sev eral people of the name who sr.y they wont vote for him. The war in Nicaragua is reported as being officially over, so the United States has . ordered 800- additional marines to duty there. ? By the way, we haven't heard a word about concrete to Cullowhee, in some time; and that is one of West ern North Carolina's greates t njceds It is too bad that none of the pol iticians have taken seriously .our pro )x>sal to side-track A1 -jSjOlth by making him American consul tq New York City. If there never had been a woman eloctrocuted in New York, it looks as if the Empire State could never find a better time to begin, nor a more fit subject as a starter. ' 'c * The bonds of the Irish Republic are to be returned to the original donors; but what arc they going to do with 'emt Lock 'em up with the German marks that were bought a few years back? A merchant in Hackettstown, N. J. has had a display advertisement in every issue of his home town paper for 52 years. Sure, he is a successful merchant. Ten to one that if he had not advertised, the sheriff would have sold him out at least a quarter of a century ago. j One young man killed and another Hying at the point of death following a row over votes for a cake to be awarded to the most popular girl in the community, speaks well for the high state orf civilization and Christ ianity to which we have attained. And yet we look with horror upon Herri n), Chicago, New York Mexico \ China and those other foreign places. : GALL AN EXTRA SESSION The moat serious disaster that has ) strucrk America since tile War be tween the States is the devastating * flood that has swept over hundreds of square' miles of towns and rich agricultural lands in| the Mississippi Valley. > The suffering and distress is wide ? o spread enough to justify action by ? special session of congress. Con gress is ready to act. But congress umst be called together. Call it Mr. Coetidfe. ' . 0 ' ".!> . : To Be, or Not To Be?IVet! > ? b .? ? r Rcid ?.... -: vr. ? i v. - j, .v, ?j; ! "V. ^ ? VsOa-V oti.C/UW Wo have every reason to be thank ful that our lot is cast in the de legable mountains of Western North Carolina. Here we are surrounded by scenery that is magnificent be ycjnd description. Here the air, the water, the natural environment com bine to make life a delight, and bring man to his highest possiblties. In our mountains ?vi: escape the torrid heat that blasts the summers in other climes. The rigors of winter are shut off from us. Spring is n, season of beauty and autumn a con tinual delight. Our mountains pro tect us from flood and windstorm, and indeed it seems that we arepe*" mitted to dwell in pleasant places, safe and secure from heat, and cold, and storm and flood that v<?x and destroy our fellows in less favored regions.. ? These things being true let us be thankful; and in token of our thank fulness it behooves us to give of our bounty to the aid of those whose homes and possessions have - beeii swept from them by the force of the mighty Mississippi and its tur bulent tributaries. These people who suffer are not ini far away lands; they are our ov.n folks of our beloved Southland. They are bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. Hardly a family in all Western North Carolina but has friends or relatives in the stricken |.area. Let us hasten ta their relief, with our means, through the Amer ican.

The names of the jx-ople who will receive and forward them aro found elsewhere in this paper. The need is urgent. The call is front our folks. MERCHANTS SHOULD READ THIS ' > . . The advertising manager of a large mail order house expressed himselt' as follows: "We have a bureau whos< duty is to read each week the country newspapers frdm all the country. There is not a paper 01 any conse quence in our trade territory that our bureau doesn't get This bureau looks over these newspapers, and when we find a town where the mer chants aro not advertsi)ig in the local papers we immediately flood that territory with our literature. It. always brings results far in excess of the same effort put l'ortli in ter ritory where the local mcrcaanis use their local papers."?Kodak Sales man. p ^ 1 ...

MEMORIAL DAY COMLUO Memorial day hills on the thirtieth of the month. The American Legion Auxiliary will have on sale, jjoppies, to be worn in memory ot' those who sleep in Flinders' Fields, and France. The money goes to the support of disabled soldiers, atijd their families It is indeed a beautiful custom S ? ? ? that has grown up in America since the war, to wear a poppy on Mem orial day. Disabled men, who can do nothing else, are busy through out the year, making poppies, for America to wear. Be ready when the call comes to buy a poppy. Don't forget. Read <he beautiful poem that follows: REMEMBER ilemcmber how good, my brother, the khaki looked to you I When, Hindenburg's line was holding) and we all were feeling blue? ! litcntl how.it stopped the tremble' in our knees when we beheld The Stetsons and yellow puttees, an^' how our bosoms swelled To hear how the siiips i>i safety un loaded our troops ubro. d? How we thrilled at mention of "dev il" dogs, clean limbed and fight ing jowed ?' You surely remember, brother, how we felt; and how We trusted those khaki wearers to settle" the dreadful row. '?'Should Germany win her object ives'?we shivered i .id dr.od , not. think The "fix we'd be in if the Teuton came over the briny drink! Then, nothing too good for the sol diers....the best fell short of their due? You can't have' forgot, my brother, how the khaki looked to you! Let's all shut our eyes for a moment: 'Tis nineteen-seventeen; The fear of the Hun runs throcgh us and scare.- lis a pale, pea greeu. Then the form of a regular soldier? mayhap but a raw recruit? Appears as our sole salvation from Hienie, the ruthless brute. Let's open ouv eyes; but the picture ?don't let it get away! There are hordes of those self-same soldiers in need of our help to day.
