The biggest business in the world in
trusted not alone with material pros
perity, but with the happiness of all
people receives from many only casual
and disinterested attention.
No true democracy can exist in such
an atmosphere of indifference and the
survival of true democracy is life it
self a matter of concern to all.
The duty is incumbent to intelligent
ly cast a ballot Saturday. The pref
erence a voter shows is incidental; the
obligation to his fellowman to vote is
the paramount consideration.
An intelligent electorate, unbiased,
unprejudiced and uninstructed - save
from the dictates of mind and con
science, is the factor which will give
the world the best men to guide its
affairs and shape its destiny.
It is in this business, the administra
tion of, this Government, that every
citizen has a part, an interest, and to
whom he owes a duty.
It is to be expected that every voter
in Warren will exercise his privilege,
measure to his responsibility, at the
primary Saturday.

Onslow County Board Keeps
The Home Demonstra
tion Work In County
RAISES SALARY AND GIVES
AGENT A NEW MACHIENE
North Carolina Division Gives
Certificates for Home Demon
stration Work To Women Of
The State.
Getting money from county boards
is not the easiest indoor pastime, as
many a person can testify they al
ways have to be shown, especially in
this year 1920. :
The Onslow County Board of Edu
tion was in session and the district
home demonstration agent was plead
ing for . enough salary to keep the
Onslow home demonstration agent on
the job also for a new car, with a
self starter, to make her wok more
efFective over the whole county. She
was interrupted by a farmer who said:
"Tjentlemen, -I have the finest little
woman in the wold, at home, but she
doesn't know anything much about
cooking and . serving, and she doesn't
know anything about sewing, and she
doesn't know as much as she needs to
about 'fixing up' the house. Then I've
got some girls who are about grown
now, and neither of them knows how
to make even a dress for herself
and gentleman that is not as it should
be. Just to show you how much: we
believe in home demonstration work,
and hw much we need it in my home,
I will tell you that my wife and I have
offered Miss McFayden a furnished
room and her board free of charge just
to get the benefit of a few sugges
tions from her form time to time.
You know, that I am not a rich man,
and if the" home demonstration work
means that much to me, it must mean
goodjdeal tothe other jfoJksoJUibi&J
county too. ,
The board decided that it could not
afford to lose the home agent, and
made an appropriation big enugh to
give a substantial increase in' salary
and make a new car possible.
The agent immediately went down
to place her order for the car. A big
gruff man waited on-her and told her
there were just one hundred and
thirty-six orders in ahead of hers and
that she might expect her car n.
about eighteen months. Of course she
looked and fejt disappointed that the
car could not be delivered earlier. As
she started out of the door the big
man called her back his face soften
ed, and his voice was kind. He said,
"You nursed us when we had the
'flu,' and you may have the first car
that comes in."
Ninety-seven North Carolina club
girls and women are the proud pos
sessors of certificates presented by the
North Carolina Division of Home
Demonstration work showing that
they have completed the four years of
instruction in home economics, and
have applied the knowledge acquired
in their own homes. -
Married women received one-third of
the certificates and they are now
working in rearranged kitchens with
equipment close around the range,
pans and other utensils hung within
easy reach, a work table high enough
to prevent stooping, a homemade or
bought sink equally high, and many
home conveniences made by their own
hands or with; the help of the men of
the house. These women have learn
ed that kitchen work may be lifted
from real drudgery into the realm of
interesting things, by a little knowl
edge of how to systematize. n
Washing Dishes with Smiles
One woman said if she had learned
nothing else but how to use a dish
drainer and a tireless cooker she
would have been repaid for her four
years of club work. Dish washing
has losts its terrors and the Sunday,
dinner simmers along in the fireless
cooker while she sits at peace, in

something of refurbishing her old

World Endorses Veto
of Seperate Peace Act
Peace by resolution of a party, peace
placing an "ineffaceable stain upon the
gallantry and honor of the United
States," peace in which "none of the
essential n interests which we had at
heart when we entered th war is safe
guarded," met a deseved fate yester
day when the Republicans- df -the
House of Represenjtatives failed by
twenty-eight votes to override the
President's objections.
There have been vetoes that saved
the country from violent domestic leg
islation, from financial bad faith and
from extravagance, but all the evils J
so avoided could not have equalled the
treachery, cowardice and world-wide
degradation that would have been
properly chargeabfe to us if this par
tisan attempt to make a . separate
peace had been successful. The power
of the Executive never was more cor
rectly used, and no gift of prophecy is
needed to foresee the time when all
Americans will be grateful to the man
who stood btween them and everlast
ing shame. , y
We are accustomed to a great deal
of dirty politics in our own affairs.
Most of it is excused on the ground
that it is all in the family and does
not mean anything serious. That
plea cannot be made when we carry
cheap tricks and partisan malice into
our foreign elations. The Knox
Lodge resolution for a ' disgraceful
peace was a campaign document de
vised for home consumption but With
utter disregard of ill-will which it in
vited abroad. - Its end was as inglor

Free Mental Exami-
nation For Children
Y4 ,
-Dr. Bernard Gluck, Professor jjoF
WentaT Tfygiene " in lh1e New7
School of Social Work, who will be
one of the instructors in the Summer
School of Public Welfare at Chapel
Hill this summer, has consented to
hold -a clinic for the purpose of exam
ining any "problematic" or possibly
mental defective or abnormal children
that the superintendent of public wel
fare will bring to him. This is a won
derful opportunity that I hope par
ents who have children who are pos
sibly "not quite righfc"-or whose cases
they do not understand, will take ad
vantage of.
If you wish, to take advantage of
this offer, kindly notify me and the
blanks will be furnished you in order
that the necessary facts of history,
&c, may be obtained in advance. Let
me urge that all who are concerned
should take advantage of this oppor
tunity to assist them with these ser
ious problems of children whom they
dc not understand.
Dr. Cluck stands at the head of his
profession as a psychiatrist,' and ex
aminations ., will be free. After the
examination, the parent" is free to do
whatever he wishes for the child. I
know that there are some children in
the county that need this examination.
Only an expert in mental hygiene can
dianose such cases. We are working
in the dark in trying to help theHnight with Misses Ruby and Lela
children without definite knowledge as
to their real condition.
R. R. RODWELL,
Supt. Public Welfare.

pathy shown our mother during her

our bereavement.-

"Doing things a little bit different"
is Miss Theresa Sheehan's habit and
because of this originality she is rated
as one of the greatest readers on the
Chautauqua platform. Each presenta
tion, be it a humorous sketch or a dra
matic recitation, is marked with a
style, a sincerity, an understanding
that is quite her own. For instance,
her thrilling word-painting of the sink
ing of the Titanic an original reading
that is brimming over with smiles and
tears and realism. Miss Sheen an has
promised to give this unusual reading
to oar Chautauqua audience. On the
third day of the Commuaity Chautau
qua the clever Sheehan trio will offer
their original and pleasing program
for your approval.

Johnston To Speak
In Nearby Va. Cities
Several Warrenton people have ex
pressed interest in ("Pussyfoot") W.
E. Johnson who gave an eye to help
make England dry. I have a letter
from his sister stating that his speak
ing itineary included Petersburg,
June 9, Norfolk the 11th and Rich
mond three times the 13th. Nights
only during week I think. I have
written Headquarters Anti Saloon
League for confirmation of dates. I
have know Johnson for fifty years.
The loss of an eye is one one of
many incidents in his, warfare against
John Barleycorn. During Mr.-'Taft's
administration he was Special 'Com
missioner to look after infringements
of liquor laws among the Indians.
More than a dozen graves were filled
in that campaign, and it seemed a
miracle that he did not fill one of
them. To any one really interested in
this work, it is worth while to go and
hear him.
Where N. C. Near
East Money Is Spent
Raleigh, N. C.,-May 31. Trebizono,
the attractive city in Armenia assign
ed to North Carolina by the Near East
Relief as the center of relief activity
from Tar Heels, is one of the most
important territories of the stricken
country. It is now and always has
been the outlet to the sea for that
wonderful mountain land the port
for the great Armenian village of
Northeastern Turkey.
' The last monthly report f rom Trebi
zond gives an insight of the relief
work that is .being done for the chil
dren of the territory: ,
Persons in soup and bread lines, 7,
141: persons given clothing, 7,599;
men helped in industrial department,
144; women helped in industrial de
partmentf 285; cases in medicinal clin
ic, 1,619.
These figures do not , include the
thousands of homeless children in the
large orphanages, nor do they, include
the amount of money required to take
care of these orphans.

they radiate the spirit of happiness
and never fail to please the most crit

tertainment. "Fine Feathers" the thrilling comedy-drama

sensation of our Community Chau

500 season tickets are to be sold at
$2.50 and the remainder at the regular
price of $3.00 and then consider the
big all-star program, you can v but
agree that you are getting great value
for a small expenditure.
