ADDITIONAL CLERKS SENT TO GREENSBORO Government Dispatches Field Clerk to Aid Local Men In Dis tribution of Victory Medals In North Carolina The distribution of Victory Medals which has been going on for the last inontns at tne rcecruiting District 1 Headquarters, at Greensboro, N. C, is now well under way and information received from the Recruiting Officer, Capt. Walter R. Cox, states that a thousand medals have now been dis tributed in this State. The applica tions came in slowly at first but after the first medals began to arrive the interest of the ex-soldiers was arous ed and now everyone wants one. Three Army Fields Clerk's are sta tioned at these Headquarters to take in applications which have increased to such a number that four more have been asked for from Washington and are now on their way to help the overworked force. Applications have been handled at the rate of seventy five a dayand with the increased f orce they expect to turn out two hundred or more every day. Every soldier who served during the emergency: April 6, 1917 to Novem ber 11, 1918, will receive a medal and if he went overseas and was in any Suaiiica uvci mcic ins scivitc win uc recognized by additional battle clasps attached to the ribbon of the medal. As much as fourteen clasps have been received by one soldier and in North Carolina, which is the home of the 30th Division, many of the boys who saw service in the Great Conflict have received five and six battle clasps., Tihere is no red tape attached to the application for the Victory Iedal, and soldier simply sends in his dis charge to the Greensboro Station and a form is sent him for signature, when this is done his application is then sent to the Supply Officer at Philadelphia for the issue of the medal, the whole procedure taking from seven to fifteen days. The dis chagers are well taken care of in the office and are promptly returned to their owners as soon as the applica tion has been approved and forward ed. With this addition to the office force it is expected that within the next two months every soldier who answered the call of his country will be the proud possessor of one of these beautiful medals. W. R. COX, Capt. C. A. C. Recruiting Officer. No Right Ones Left Little Molly, says the Forecast, was crying bitterly. "What's the matter dear ? " asked her mother. "Boohoo! My new shoes hurt me!" sniffed the child, rubbing her eyes. "Well, no wonder! You've got them on the wrong feet!" But Molly wept would not be comforted. "I anu haven't 4 anv other feet," she sobbed.

The following article is publisheu by special request of Mr. G. N. Neil: The method of amending : the Con stitution of the United States was prvided when the . Constitution was written. It was thoroughly discuss ed and approved by the thirteen original states; North Carolina not only acquiescing, but insisting upon the justness of the procedure. Legislatures of North Carolina and the other twelve States ratified the Federal Constitution With This Pro vision, The Constitution has been amended by this method 18 times. North Carolina has ratified each of the 18 amendments. Why object Now to the same method? The 19th Amendment does not in fringe upon States' Rights. It does nothing but eliminate the word Male from the Constitution, thus removing discrimination against women. If that is an infringement upon States' Rights, they are already infringed upon. The Federal Constitution Now For bids any State to deprive a male citi zen of his vote ,if he can meet the legal requirements of the State. North Carolina Cannot Refuse to let any Male citizen of the United States vote in North Carolina if he meets the State's legal requirements, no matter what his nationality or how undesirable he may seem. The State however, has the right to decide upon its .-own .:reuixemejitsv..-....,;-:ljv.i. The 19th Amendment Does Not Al ter this, it only prohibits discrimina tion against women citizens. : All qualifications that now apply to Men Voters will Apply Equally to Women Voters. Women who Cannot qualify under State laws, will Not Vote any more than can men who cannot qualify. EQUAL SUFFRAGE ASSN. N. C.

It is almost always true that, when ve are looking for a location for a permanent home we try and find a community in which churches and schools are convenient and where there is present evidence of the spirit of progress. I am sure that there is no place where this is more true than in the county of Warren if one is to judge the entire county by the section around Church Hill. It has been my pleasure to visit in the vicinity of. Churchill several times within the past two . years but I do not believe that I had fully realized until my recent visit there, the won derful talent representative of the place. The fact is I had scarcely stopped to consider some of the prin cipal evidences of the presence of so many good people. Why to think of a real graded Sun day school far out in the country with an enrollment of a hundred and fifty and every one appearantly full of in-, terest would sound- almost out of the question, but this is what we find there. And I must say that the good people whom I have met there during my few visits are thoroughly awake to the issues of 'ogress both from an in dustrial and religious standpoint. I have observed in my ravels, and I had about-decided, hat we had all de parted from the good old ways of our fathers, but my visit on last Sunday to Churchill in Warren County, serv ed to show me that I had only been blind to the facts. 'Tis true that in many cases, especially in the towns and larger cities, there has been some what of a turning away from the old way, still I am glad that there is yet present in the rural sections of the country evidence of the good old re ligion that our forefathers enjoyed. If we are to merit the favor of the Great Jehovah I feel that we must again take up the christian models that our fathers used and seek salva tion only in the manner in which they sought it, and then I feel that we will have found the solution to many of the perplexing problems of the pres ent day. Here are a few lines which I believe will serve to express in a sense my view of the matter. We must go : Back to the old country church by the roadside, Back to the faith of our fathers again; Back to the love . and hope . of th brethren, " Back to the things .that will makje of us MEN. J.
