If it is property that will burn, protect it with one of our Fire Insur- nce policies. SECOND: By relieving the State of the expense of caring for those who are depen dent. A good life insurance policy will meet the demand. See ours, none better. DO YOUR BIT. DO IT NOW. SEE Cunningham & Long Fire and Life Insurance talks his language, and the ukid" learns that Dad is not only Dad but a bully good companion and friend ! who understands his point of view as no mother, however loving, can hope to understand. This is the time when the father and son plan together on the boy's im mediate and more distant future, when they have leng smoke-talks and look more deeply into each other's hearts ?.nd souls than ever before. And it is just at this place in their lives that war steps in and separates tHeni. It is' just a tthis period that the nation'calls upon the son to serve, and the father to sacrifice. For the mother has the past, th? father gives up the future. For if tht boy does not come back the father cannot have quite the store of memories of the mother, a"nd if he does come back as most of them will ha will have spent the time that might have been the father's with other men and in other scenes. And though he may be a bigger, stronger, and better man for it, Dad and he will never quite touch the intimacy they would otherwise have knowji. So without belittling the beauty and holiness of the mother's sacrifice, I speak this brief word for the brave, quiet, tearless sacrifice of "Dad."

Allen, Miss Annie Allen, Miss Ludy Allen, Mrs. W. H. Allen, Mrs. Beam, -of Roxboro, Mrs. Smith of Roxboro, and Miss Harris of Henderson. Mrs. J. A. Turner invited the guests from the parlor into the dining room where delicious cream and cake in colors of yellow and white were serv ed by Mrs. T. H. Ruffin and Misses Annie Belle King. Minnie Brickie, Julia Barrow, Beatrice Turner and Marie Stambaugh. A magnificent bowl of yellow orchids and festoons of southern smilax and yellow can dles made the table with its silver baskets of cakes a picture for fairy land.

Many good wishes miles, yards, feet, inches, and. pounds we know that the. -word . mean the same to : others as to ourselves. Not so grades. Whether we. grade in let ters or in figures matters not. The standards of teachers may vary. And i yet these .grades hold the power of life and death. Teachers from the pri-. mary tf the college speak of grades as if they were "standardized and use them in the same way. But grades may mean the .condition of the teach er health or disposition, what he had for dinner, or whether dinner was late." They may be but an effect of the war news or of a still higher ten dency of the "high cost of living." They may mean insomnia or indiges tion. Whatever be their evolution or history we are wont to regard them as the rock of Gibraltar, the laws of the Medes and Persians, or the Decalo gue. Two teachers might grade the same paper and differ widely, but each would act on , his own grade and con demn the pupil "to outer darkness", or exalt him to ethereal realms What are grades?
