PAGE TWO PUBLIC LEDGER SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1916 A CONDITION OF THE WAR Postofflce Cannot Accept Money far ' uenvery in me ruuiian raxes The postoffices will no longer ac cept money orders destined either to Serbia or Greece. The postoffice's only reason tor tnis is that it cannot make the delivery owing to war con ditions. In this State, and in surrounding States, there are thousands of intelli gent, hard-working Greeks and na tives of the other Balkan States who are not only becoming property own ing citizetns, but who at the same time are sending small money orders home regularly to relatives or family in the old country. For a time at least they will have to keep all their sur plus money here. A TRUE PROPHET A Home in the Park (Charlotte Observer) Why not have a home in the North Carolina section of the Appala chian National Park? The Forestry Bureau will open the New England division to the people and we should say the same privilege would be ex tended the North Carolina people if they desire it. The bureau will place 650,000 acres in the White Moun tains at the disposal of Summer campers, the plan being to give Gov ernment leases on five-acre tracts for 30 years at $5 a year. This would provide a Summer home for 30 years for $150, and there would be no taxes to nay. This is the plan if Congress makes the additional ap propriation for the Weeks law. The offer would be open to all the people and there would be no restrictions other than, the proper observance of the forestry regulations. It has developed that E. A. Rick ert of China Grove, who was to be recommended as an appointee to the Naval Academy, is slightly beyond the age limit, and cannot be recom mended. The age must be between 16 and 20 years. The Observer's First Lines on the Political State (Raleich News and Ohsprvprli Following right on top of the day set aside as the possession of Col. G. Hog, otherwise knowtn to fame as Arctomys Monax, The Charlotte Ob server wipes off the slate all Demo cratic primaries', State nominating conventions and the Democratic Na tional Convention, and in bier, black letters at the head of its editorial columns settles the whole business with FOR RE-ELECTION WOODROW WILSON and in so doing is a true prophet, for all the nominating business is over excepting the shouting, which St. Louis is eoins to hear in the great est abundance come the middle of June. And it is good for the coun try that it so. By the way, the sec end inauguration of Woodrow Wil son will take place on the fifth day of March. choa A IV T T 1 Alter O r POSITIVE PROOF Should Convince the Greatest Skeptic in Oxford. Because it's the evidence of an Ox ford citizen. Testimony easily investigated. The strongest endorsement of merit. The best proof. Read it: L. J. Steed, 32 Rectory St., Oxtora, says: "I used Doan's Kidney Pills for backache and a few doses made me feel as well as ever. I find Doan's Kidney Pills to be a reliable medicine for kidney disorders and I recom mend them to other kidney suffer ers." PnVfi 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Steed had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. adv A little lad in this town came from school the other day tired and huncry. His mother sat him down in the kitchen and gave him a large doughnut and a glass of milk.. .Af ter finishinff his repast he turned to his mother and said, "Mother I wish Ciarrett & Co. wouldn't put holes in their doughnuts." "Why?" asked his mother. . . "Because they are so gooti if they didn't have holes in them they'd go farther." We pay special attention to 'phone orders.

Here's to you, wage workers, and may your tribe increase until the last adult shall work for a living! For then we can quit working the chil dren. Here's to you, lovers, for you're all that keeps God from burning up this rotten old globe! May tender thoughts aaid soft nothings and hand clasps and kisses multiply! And may we some day use our prisons and asylums for shutting up all who are not in love! Here's to you, women! May you soon be given equal privilege every where with men, and make them as decent in politics as you have made them decent at home. Here's to you, little children! May you have all the play and laughter you can crowd into your days, and may every, last one of you get a thor ough education, and not one of you have to work until you are grown up! Here's to you, dogs, horses, and birds, and may we learn to love you more and treat you better! Here's to you, failures and down-and-outre! May you learn that the world has a warm spot and a wel come for you, too, if you'll keep thinking so! Here's to you, happy girls chatter ing, carefree boys playing, and all young things that dance and sing! More power to your lungs and legs.

Laugn ter and love to you! DON'T SUFFER LiATJGH lOi x u STOMACH MISERY J. G. Hall Will Return the Money if Mi-o-na Does Not Relieve Dyspepsia. Among all the remedies in J. G. Hall's popular drug store, there are few that he is willing to sell on a guarantee to refund the money it they do tnot cure. Mi-o-na, the famous dyspepsia remedy has helped so many of his customers that he says, "If this rem edy does not relieve you, come back to my store and I will cheerfully re turn your money." .
