GROUCH MEETS WITH HEALTH OFFICER Interested County Officials and Dr. Peete Map Schedule To Carry Anti-Typhoid Vaccine To Every Community. Dr. A. McR. Crouch, of the State Board of Health, was in town Sat urday in conference with County Health Officer C. H. Peete and other 'i fiicials regarding the anti-typhoid campaign which is to be launchea here beginning Thursday, June 12th. The gentlemen present perfected a schedule which will bring the vaccina to every community four times three are necessary for perfect innoCulation, the fourth time is provided in case one of the appointments is missed. This great work is being launched this year in thirty North Carolina counties, and the return of the op portunity to Warren after four years is welcomed. It is expected that those innoculated in the last cam paign will again undergo this simple, painless and entirely safe preventi ve and that a much larger per cent, of the county's population will take this treatment. The treatment is at the expense of the county. The State Board of Health, however, is offering for the sake of stimulating interest, free treatment to the citizenship of. that county which has the largest per cent, of its population innoculated. It is expected that Warren, perfectly satis fled with the results of a prior dose of the vaccine will make a strong bid for this prize. Sentiment everywhere Is strong for the approaching campaign. IT'S BLOOY WAR (Selected and Contributed) I was a simple country boy, I lived out on the farm; I never even killed a flea, Or done nobody harm. It's bloody war, it's bloody war. One day the Sheriff caught me, He says, "Come with me my son; Your Uncle Sammy needs you, To help him 'tote' a gun." It' bloody war. They took me to. the court-house, My brain was in a whirl; And when the doctor passed on me, 1 wished I'd been a girl. It' bloody war. . . ' v The local board says to us boys, "What can you fellows do " I says, "I'll be the general, If it's all the same to you." y It' bloody war. . . They took me to the train next day, The crowd it was immense; I never could get with my girl, But I kissed her through the fence. It' bloody war. . . Some of the boys along with us said, "We'll join the 'Infantree';" I says, "My motto's safety-first, Me for the Q. M. C." It' bloody war When I first landed at the camp, I certainly did feel blue; , . My sergeant says, "Cheer up, old boy, We'll make a man of you." It' bloody war. Now, when my captain saw me, He "cussed and cussed" with -him; I guess he thought my local board, Had played a joke on him. ft bloody war. They gave me a khaki suit, Some leggins, and some shoes; captain says, "Dress up in these, And then I"l cure your blues." !t' bloody war. . . The straw was full of briars, That was in my sleeping bag; My captain chewed tobacco, But the sergeant chewed the rag. bloody war... They fed me on potatoes, And beans, three times a day; n must be all the hogs are dead, And the hens, they never lay. II blo war. 1 asked the corporal of the guard, ) For sugar for my tea; lhe corporal told the sergeant, ... daughter of Mr. John Paschall, of Smith Creek, who has returned to the county after nearly a year abroad in the Nursing Service of Uncle Sam. And he, put me on K. P. It' bloody, war. I had to do just lots of things, And that's what worried me; I couldn't understand how all such stuff Would help whip Germany. It' bloody Avar ... s They punched my por arms full of noies, They vaccinated me; The Doc thought it was funny, But, the joke, I failed to see. It' bloody war . My arm swelled up my head it ached. And I was sick all day and night; The sergeant says, "Go see the Doc. Arid then you'll be all right." It' bloody war. . . The doctor marked me duty, x And I was sick as I could be; All I could say, was, "O Lord, Why hast thou forsaken me ? t It' bloody war. . . v Fall out and police up, Was what I heard each morn; It's not so hard, but boys, I'd rather go home and hoe corn It' bloody war. . . They tried to teach me how to drill, I did the best I could; But my captain told me to my face, My head was made of wood. It' bloody war. . . The sergeant lined us in a row, "Forward," I heard him yell; I stepped off on my right foot, And my captain says, "O Hell." It' bloody war It didn't take me long to learn, " Just what I had to do; And nowl know beyond a doubt, What Sherman said is true. It' bloody war. . . They sent me way out on the range, To hear the bullets sing; I shot and shot for one whole day Arid never hit a thing. It' bloody war. My captain said to "shott at will," I says, "Which one is, he?" JThat made my captain angry, And he fired his gun at me. It' bloody war. They moved me away from camp, I landed o'er in France; I didn't like the idea much, But thought I'd take a chance. It' bloody war. .. .. Now when they put me on the boat To take me "over there;" They said I would get sea-sick, But I says, "I don't care." It bloody war I hadn't been out very long, Until I changed my mind; For when you once get sea-sick; Your best days are behind. It' bloody war... ' '' An officer came up to me, Says, "Son, you're looking pale;" I says, "Sir, don't look at me, Just lead me to the rail." It'f bloody war. . . I fed the fish both day and night, While I was out at sea; When I return, those same fish Will be waitin' there for me. It' bloody war... , Now when I struck that foreign shore, I looked around witlTglee; But . rain and kilometers were All that I could see. It' bloody war. . . They put me right out on the front, I was right down" in the dirt; -(Continued On Sixth Page) OPTIMISM ONLY NATURAL Future of America Bright With Certainty of Increased Trade of the Entire World From all quarters of the country the most optimistic reports regard ing business conditions are continual ly coming in. The outlook is-most encouraging in practically every line. The spirit of optimism is in the "air, and, it is the confident belief of leaders in industry and finance that an era of unprecedented prosperity is ahead. Even now many public and private undertakings are being crowded to completion. There is no difficulty in financing proper improvements, and an ever-broadening market for bond issues reveals the. temper of the times. Enormous good road construction is in hand and is being planned, work with the entire country appears to be deep ly concerned. ' There is a derth of dwelling-houses all over the land, and vast building activities cannot be long delayed. Everywhere there is a les sing in complaints of unemployment, and the prediction is freely made that before the year is out there may be an actual shortage of labor. In all this present activity and op timism for the future the South has taken a leading part. The Construc tion Department of the Manufacturers Record bears testimony to this fact, for the construction news we publish each week giving projects and under takings planned and under way, has more than doubled in space since the armistice was signed. There is room only for optimism in a survey of the field. Superior Court Work About Over May term Superior Court convened here Monday afternoon 'at two o'clock with Judge George W.

Dear Sir: l know it will be of interest to .you to know what is being done in New "York for the boys of North and South Carolina. . . Have you heard about the "Hall of States?" It is under the supervision of the Government, represented by the New York War Camp Community Ser vice. It is the largest institution of the kind in New York. It really is a clearing house for every problem of the returned soldier. : As briefly as possible, I will give you an outline of -what is being done, but first I think I should tell you that I am running the Carolina desk mainly on my own purse.- - War Camp hasgiven us a fine old house, where forty-three States are represented. We have an employment bureau where jobs are. listed for men from all over the countrv. To give you an idea of thjs actr !ty, I have cr.ly to tell you that in three wee1 s v-.'o have secured throe thotind jobs. If you have an opening for a Carolina man, will you not write me here about it? Wounded Southern men, numbering several thousand, have been and are being brought to New York City a large number being Carolinians,. ' : We see to it that every man in the hospital receives a welcoming note the day after his arrival, an invitation to call at the Hall of States, notice that if he is confined to the hospital, we wilt call on him, and that we stand ready to help him get well, go home and get a job. The effect of these persona) visits the giving of information desir- ea on many suDjects'aiiu me xuniisii ing' of many little necessities and com forts have a remarkable effect on thj men and tend , greatly to their rapid improvement and recovery, as "shown in many cases. It is. with great regret and humilia tion that I have to report that so tar no Southern State has made an appro priation, probably because thereis. a mistaken belief that Southern men do not touch this port. . We should all co-operate and pull to gether to create an emergency fund to meet the requirements of these men. Many of the Northern States have created funds ranging from five fchous and to thirty-five thousand dollars. If every one in the Carolinas did their bit for their boys here in New York, think what it would mean! 1 realize "you have had every call madt- upon you at home, but it is for the Carolina boys here that I ask your co operation andassistance. Any amount you may see fit to contribute for the work we are doing will be greatly ap preciated. Very sincerely yours, HALL OF STATES, ELIMA B. WRIGHT, MRS. PRIDE vJONES, Representative for the Carolinas. 7 MICK!
