Our townsman, Judge John H. Kerr, delivered a very able address to an audience assembled at Scotland Neck last Friday to the local camp of the American Legion and their friends from surrounding territory. This ad dress, in part, was published in Sun day's News and Observer, with an editorial comment in Monday's paper. We are publishing this editorial from the News ad Observer as it points to the well known fact that apon the young men of this day lis tening to the experience of the old men must depend the progress and the happiness of this Country. And this progress and . this happiness should be founded upon the teachings of Jesus Christ. "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even also unto them" in other and fewer words, Love your fallow man, for love worketh no ill to his neighbor. Says the News and Observer: "In his address to the American Legion at Scotland Neck Judge Kerr touched on a fe points that are high ly pertinent, and a modification of one point is that they were not serving the country for the sake alone of those who stayed at home, but also for the sake of themselves. In life we are too much disposed to say 'they' instead of 'we.' The soldiers went into the army to defend the nation. But the nation is one that is our nation now, but to become their nation as the older ones of us go the long road. "Whatever any of us may think about it the young men who took part in the war, or whose part was not ac tive enough to go farther than he camps, perhaps, are the men who will hold the destiny of the country in their hands for the life of the genera tion now of their age. Whether they suspect it or not they are the select four million of the population of the country as the capables. They were fit in war time. They are none the less fit in peace time. They were the men the country had to depend on when danger threatened. They are the legion that is the defense of the nation. "It is wholly improbable that the legion will become a coherent force composed of even the large majority f the men who were in the service, but whether a coherent and united aass the force is still there, powerful, Pable, intelligent and loyal. These four million men have a heriditary in terest in the country, for they are the young men who are coming into the accession. They have also that in-. terest that comes from havins de luded the country, which awakens a sense of ownership that is pronounced. so the soldier can not say "yours" hen he is speaking of the country, but he must speak of it as "ours," for aside from the soldier and sailor the fest of us were nan-combatants, and j helpers only in an. auxiliary way.

Ifthe certain young man who went to see three different girkf Sunday and found some other boy at each place will make a date with some of them, next time, he will save himself a few lonesome rides, and also the disappointments he must certainly have felt. Mr. S. J. Williams Injured We regret that Mr. S. J. Williams was painfully, possibly seriously, hurt by an automombile driven by unknown tparties near Henderson ssaturaay nieht. Rounding a curve they ran over Mr. Williams' car and demolished it. He was found by other parties beneath his wrecked car, with a seri ous scalp wound. He is getting on very well at this hour. PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN The Old Residenter likes to Tell of the Days when the Town had only 79 People and there was a Cornfield where the Firat National Bank now stands.

The production is not in any sense a war play, but a love story from the recent war, . with the conflict serving only as the . background. The battle scenes were taken on the battlefields of France by permission and with the assistance of the British and French governments. Mr. Griffith and many of his princi pal players including Misses Lillian and Dorothy Gish and Mrs. Gish, mother of the two girls; Robert Har ron and George A. Siegmann, , were under actual bombardment three times, on one occasion for a period of four hours. Mr. Griffith had to wear a steel hel met to protect him from shrapnel and a gas mask to protect his lungs dur ing the taking of many of the stirring scenes. Many of the most striking scenes in the film owe their effects to the remarkable courage of Mr. Grif fith and his intrepid cameraman, "Bil ly" Bitzer, who was with him under fire hundreds of times. Neither Mr. Griffith nor any of his company re- lceived injuries other than a slight wound in Mr. Griffith's arm from flying shrapnel. David Llyod George, Prime Minis ter of England, received Mr. Griffith in private audience in the British cab inet rooms in Downing Street, Lon- don. Upon Mr. Griffith's departure, Lloyd George said: "God speed you in your great work and grant that you accomplish your desires."

David Wark Griffith was the first American ever to set foot in the front line trenches. This was, of course, before the United States entered the war. Mr. Griffith describes "Hearts of the World" as "A story of the great war," with the actual conflict itself serving only as the background for the un folding tale of life in a small French' village. I " The story of "Hearts of the World" j vwas written by M. Gaston de Tolignac, and translated from the French by Captain Victor Marier. The story is in two parts. j i RED CROSS GIVES AID Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 15. When a doughboy was shot down in the front lines, all the surgeons on the western front could not have helped him had it not been for the stretcher-bearers. Even were he able to walk he could not find the dressing stations until they pointed the way; generally, they carried him. In the south today there are hun dreds of crippled children. There - are also many hospitals where club feet are straightened and witheed limbs made strong. But the fathers, and mothers of these little unfortunates of ten do not know of the hospitals; j and, when they do, they are generally ) J - too poor or too helpless to send their children away for treatment. The American Red Cross has been stretcher-bearer in. many such cases in the past two years. One county will suffice as an illustration. In Brooks county, . Georgia, states the .Quitman Free Press, the Red Cross secretary has hunted up seven crippled children. Three of them already have been sent to the Scottish Rite Home in Atlanta without , any cost either to the Red Cross or the parents. They will be cured there. The Red Cross is now endeavoring to see what can be done for the others. Another interesting case is reported from LaFollette, Tenn., where the Red Cross secretary secured hospital treatment for a little girl who has been walking all her life on clubbed feet.' Commenting on the, work of the Red Cross in Brooks county the Quitman Free-Press says, ."Nothing appeals to the heart of humanity more than the opportunity to help these children who otherwise might grow up handicapp ed perhaps helpless. The thing which will astonish most people is that there should be so great a number of them in the county. Surely this alone con vinces the most skeptical of the need of an organization like the Red Cross which brings hope to these crippled little ones who otherwise would have no hand extended to them in help."

They do not forget so easily, do the rehab boys at Georgia Tech. Perhaps that is be cause they have more to remind them than others stumps where there should be arms ; two fingers instead of four; a game leg that makes the going a bit difficult for a chap. Forgetting is a hard job for the re- j hab boy, almost as hard as the long i hnd wearv struersrle to so train him self that he won't be a charge on the nation for which, he fought. He can ., forget, though rehablitation of mind as well as body is part of the job. Yet it isn't so much the. tragedy he remembers as it is the sunshine; not the pain, but the hand that eased the pain. And so, because the memory of rehab boys doesn't need to be joggled with a poster and a subscription blank, the bunch .at Tech sent their three representatives to Ktd Cross Roll Call headquarters in Atlanta be fore ever the "drive" began. ;-"Eugent McLeon, of the Sixth Ma rines," the chap with the cane intro duced - himself . Then he saluted and tossed on the desk an envlope that jingled. "Letter explains itself" he was out of the door by now "Much 'bliged!" And he was gone. In the envelope were crumpled bills I - i - r. m n et-t irn 11 . ana a rait 01 saver $xou in ail. iviso this letter "Dear Sir: When the call to arms came and goodbys were said, and the stern reality of military drill and preparation for battle came, the Red Cross met us in camp to help us ad just ourselves to the new conditions of camp lif a, and it was the minister ing angel into whose care we 'commit ted those left behind. .

"We, the rehabilitation boys of the Georgie School of Technology, in memory of these facts, send this small donation, ask you to feel that we are grateful to you for what you have done Remember the widow's mite, 'they of their abundance cast in.' We out of our modest means have done what we could. "Blessings be upon you forever and eternity will reward you. "Very truly yours, "Rehabilitation Students of Georgia Tech. BE YE ALSO READY Last Monday morning Mr. Aaron L. Thompson brought a load of tobac co to town. He seemed to be in per fect health. During the tobacco sale at Boyd's Warehouse, he went out on the street, was stricken with" death, and almost instantly passed into etern ity. 1 He was a native of Warren county and at the time of his death he was in the sixty-ninth year of his age, hav ing been born March 26th, 1851. In 1870 he was united in marriage to Miss Louisa Myrick, a daughter of the late Madison Myrick. To them were born nine ' children, four girls and five boys, six of whom are still living to sustain their mother in her great sorrow. In early life Mr. Thompson made a profession of religion and united with Warren Plains Baptist church. He was devoted to his family, a good cit izen, a true friend, a man, who, it is said by those who knew him, always kept his word. "Be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man Cometh." T. J. TAYLOR. Ot lives are not remembered by years. Its the events :n our lives that makes the best calendars. Advice is the cheapest commodity on the market and the least used.' km PRICES ARE HIGHER THAN IN SEPTEMBER State Crop Reports Shows To bacco Sold This Year and Last and Gives Difference in Quality and Price. Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 16. 1920 The effect of better grades of tobacco be ing marketed has resulted in an ad vance of five cents since the September sales were reported. - That the pro ducers are not yet satisfied with prices is evident from the slow marketing of the big crop this year. The 178 warehouses operating at 56 markets during October sold approximately eighty-five million pounds as compar ed with 102,635,000 pounds a year ago. The season's sales to November 1st were almost one hundred and 'fifty million pounds which was about sixty million pounds or twenty-eight per cent less than at this date a year ago. The markets averaging highest prices for October were Sanford $33. 21, Roxboro $29.10; and Snow Hill $28.25 per hundred pounds. Winston Salem sold the most producer's and Wilson the largest total sales. Wilson is ahead on the total season's sales which amounts to 16,794,306 pounds. ' The average October state sales price was $24.20 as compared with $56.85 a year ago. The quality is re ported as averaging 60 per cent of normal. The yield is 660 pounds per acre. The state crop is forecasted to produee 381,653,000 pounds as com pared 323,000,000 last year. As bas ed on hundreds of reports there was ltol- O rj J. y II . . - wok i ci vcuu ox ine crop Dy ourn ed barns and sixteen per cent by rains and disease. The cost of production is estimated at twelve per cent more than the 1919 crop. There are about twenty new warehoues operating more than last year. - The United States averages 794 pounds per acre, averages much better quality than in North Carolina, and has a forecasted production of 1,476 444,000 pounds which is about five per cent more Jhan produced' in 1919." " In Warren county the three War renton warehouses reported for Octo ber: producers sales, 712,454; Total sales, 719,489; Season's sale 812,014; 1920 price, 18.13; 1919 price 50.87. REDUCTION IN GASOLINE PRICE , In announcing a reduction in tank wagon prices of one cent a gallon for gasoline, effective Monday, Nov. 15, The Standard Oil Company (N.J.) made the following statement: While there has been no material relief from any of the conditions which brought about the rise in the price of petroleum products, the Standard Oil Company (N. J.) believes that the process of readjustment now under way in the business world must even' tually contribute , to lower cost of proi ducing and refining oil; To date ther has been no lowering of labor costs nor crude: oil; prices, nor recession In the demand for gasoline. Reductions which, have already taken place In many of the principal items entering into the cost of living have for the most part not reached the ultimate consumer, but it is inevitable that be fore long lower prices will be brought about by new quotations new prevail ing in primary markets. The Stand ard Oil Company (N. J.) believes that this movement towards a restoration of what are popularly considered nor mal prices should be aided by the oil industry. CONCERNING MEASLES The State Board of Health does not pretend to have found any specific remedy for measles and whooping cough, 'which kills so many babies. It does know, as shown in the October Health Bulletin, how to make less likely deaths from these diseases. The first thing is to avoid having these diseases. If measles is abroad n the community the order is to keep the child away from it. If the child gets it the thing to do is to send the victim to bed and keep him there. By careful treatment there will be no dangerous aftermath which really makes measley highly fatal. Whooping-cough does its worst in youth. The baby under one year stands one chance in eight of dying; from one to two 1 in every 10; from two to three the rate is 1 in every 30; from three to four it is 1 in every 50; and from four to five, one in 200 die. The applica tion is inevitable. -
