It was a natural reaction. For more than two years the American people had been kept tuned to the hiffhest nitch of oatriotism. There was hardly a man, women, or child on the continent who had .not , made his' brj her personal sacrifice. They had given, until-it hurt. They bad kept the' home fire burning!

' 'u -h' When the emergency had passed - American " thoughts were naturally devoted to other channels. 'The mag- stories, as persons do the plague!

The American - people made it their business to forget war. l it is a law of physics though that the nendulum alwava iwinmi hark exactly as far as it swings forward. Now the American people are begin ning to realize that while they were f orgettifig- war, they were also for getting the results of war, among which are the soldiers incapacitated by wound or disease f roni fighting the battles of life on even terms with their jellowa. The people are realizing that they were probably guilty of the great sip bfvbas Ingratitude and they are anxious to -atone and expiate. ' ' ,r But . atonement and expiation would .have been impossible .had no agency been , at wprk . through rthat long period of . indifference on . the very work that the people in general are now so anxious to do.

The attention of the Coast Line has been called to this dangerous crossing several times, and my infor mation is that last night no. guard had""teen placed at this crossing. When this car with its five'passen gers was hit, the force was so great as to carry the car about one hun died feet down the track by the switch at the siding. F EVENT LAST NIGHT ; The Fair Ball given by the Fair Association last evening in the Edge combe Hall, was a very attractive oc casion. There were about 30 couples and a number of stags on the floor. The music furnished by the Palace orchestra was very good and added much to the-enjoyment of the eve ring. ' " " ,. The dance was thoroughly enjoyed by all that attended'and one the Fair Assocjation can well be proud .of. Th 'conduct was excellent, compared, td maiiy previous dances given in Tar- 1 J TTT "ur uunng r air ween. It was said on the-streets today that rhe dance last night was a dis grace o the town and Fair. That is altoeether untrue, it was an ideal dare.;"ith absolutely nothing dis-, grau j! about it. This goes to show hor i a people like to cause talk. The i ovn that .made this statement Was not at the dance and knew no t; ing of what went on. As has been in the past, every dance that 'has been given in. Tarboro has been roast ed evep before the dance started. If there, is any doubt in the minds of the people 0f Tarboro as to the con duct at dances why don't they come out and see what goes on instead of believing everything they hear? Hallowe'en Party. , The ladies of the Missionary So ciety of the Baptist church gave a Hallowe'en party Tuesday night in the rest rooms of the First National Bank.'.:'. The colored lights, the ghostlike costumes and the wierd pictures made everything look "spooky," but there were no spooks.. Light refreshments were served, games were played, and all present had a jolly good time. been largely devoted to helping the ex-soldier during the past year.

In or der to meet the demands the ' Red Cross must have-greater, funds at its disposal.

N.'Harrell.) The following is the first section of a treatise on cancer. The conclud ing section of this subject will appear tomorrow. ' "' ' Tlie disease occurs so frequently that there is hardly a person who has not known of its occurence in his or her immediate relatives or friends. Another reason for interest in the subject of cancer is that af ter the disease reaches a certain stage it is incurable and invariably fatal. It is important to remember, how ever, that if it can be removed with a "very great probability of a perma nent cure. The fact does not seem to be generally recognized, and it is for this reason that physicians, health officers and others who are interest ed in publig health and welfare work are so anxious to show that much more than is being accomplished at present can be done to cure cancer in its early stages. Even tho scientific knowledge of the origin of cancer is still in many points imperfect, the practical knowledge of how to arrest its onset and save the patient in in dividual cases is already in many re spects fatisfactory. ' ' Practically without exception can cer is at first a local disease; that is, it begins in a little spot all by itself and for a long. time may have no ef fect on the rest of the body. , This means that in'theory it would always , ' y - ' . , . ' be, easily" curable' if 'the first spot could be' recognized' and removed in time. The practical . difficulty is. to get the' patient to consult a physician immediately after he or she recog nizes that Something is wrong.-If all cases that came to treatment were early cases a great many more pa- tients would be cured. ' The problem, then, is to, get the case into the hands of a competent medical advisor while it is still in the early and curable stage, r even more fortunately while j the patient exhiits merely those con ditions which are now widely recog nized as predisposing factors in the causation ' of cancer. People must therefore e taught to recognize the disease when it begins and to realize that arly surgical removal, or the application of other modern reme dies which are sometimes useful in competent hands, is the only hope of cure but that the chance is very great if the patient is wise enough to act promptly. , Statistics prove that the average cancer patient after discovering something wrong, waits weeks, and months, even a year or more before obtaining medical advice or treat ment. Why is this?' Probably one reason is that the patient does no realize that cancer starts from such trifling beginnings. All forms of ma lignant growths are at first confined strictly to the locality in which they originate, Heredity has not been proved to be an important factor in the, development of the common type of cancer. '. '; :y ' Above all, causes of delay is. the unfortunate absence of pain in the beginning. Usually there is no pain to force attention while there is still time enough to apply the remedy and by the time the ' symptoms are so marked as to-alarm the victim it may be too late,' for the invading cancer will probably have obtained a foot hold from which it can not easily be dislodged.- ' .- , 1, '; " Quarterly Conference. The quarterly conference of St. James Methodist church will be held Saturday night in the pastor's study. This - conference should have taen held Thursday night, But the presid ing elder -could not. reach Tarboro in time to hold this session, . V '. All the members of this conference are urged to be present, as it is the last session to be held this conference rear. . . . - - CHAPTER V. (By F. Hunter Creech.) China, today, has the largest army in the world, being credited last Sep tember 1 with having actually under arms 1,370,000 active troops. China has this large army not for foreign conquest, or combat but, for in ternal dissension, revolution and strife, r, France bas probably the largest army of any nation that is not dis rupted by civil strife having about 1,034,000 men. Next follows the British-Empire with approximately 740,000. Italy has 350,000, and Ja pan 300,000 active troops; Russia, 538,000; Poland, 450,000; Greece, 250,000; Spainv 253,000; Switzer land, 170,000; Turkey, 152,000; Czecho-Slovakia, 150,000 while our own United States has only 149,000. An interesting summary is given in the Associated Press dispatch appear ing in the Washington Post, October 3, 1921. In the discussion of the limitation of land armaments, naturally, the conference will not only take into consideration the mere number of men under arms in each respective nation but will, also, consider the reserve forces of the respective na tions, and the facilities for the quick mobilization and equipment. .While China. is using her. large army to take care of her domestic situation, the armies of other nation's are engaged in various things from severe.' warfare to the patrolling and policing of borders, the occupation of for'oign territory, the quelling of insurrections and the arbitration of industrial disputes even, also, to that of the conquest of the world, upon the part of a Red Soviet army! With Europe divided into so many nationalities, racial and religious rouPs' with trade "valries and jeal ousies, and armies organized and equipped to contend for their aspira tions, it is sheer folly to talk to them about the reduction of land arma ments, unless you first show them some ifieans for removing the cause that makes necessary . these arma ments. In the Washington Herald Weekly Review, September 25, 1921, appear ed an article by Frank H. Simonds, entitled "Land Forces Conference's Impasse." In the center of the page, boxed off is Simond's abloid. While a great many people take issue with lots of the conclusions of Simond's, yet the following is very interesting, and appertains to paragraph 1 of the president's agenda: ' "If Great Britain or the United States desires to persuade France to accept their pomt of view as to treat ment of Germany, they . must guar antee her against German attack. "In discussing reduction of land armaments the conference at Washington-must consider various treaties and agreements made by European nations and the question of guaran tees against external aggression again comes to the fore. And no one seri ously imagines hat such guarantees will be forthcoming from this coun try.,": ; ' v ' : ' ; ;, V," ( "Mr.' Harding in Washington will be no better off than Mr. Wilson in Paris.' Europe has .not changed, and Japan shares the European, not the American, view. , ., "It is a delusion that we are in a position to use our financial supre macy as an instrument to force land reductions. "The French, Italians, Russians, and smaller nationals of the conti nent care .'not a fig' about the ques tions of naval reductions. This mat ter concerns .the United v States, Great Britain and Japan alone. . " VThere are but two solutions to the problem of world pece: One the restorstionUnii JtWrvatNij)fjtt- The very first thing we must do when we begin studying is to concen trate. We must do this, to get any thing out of the lesson. Recall what you nave read at the end, of each paragraph to see if you know of the most mportant things.

In preparing a history lesson, one should first read the lesson carefully then take each paragraph separately and summarize it. After this is done every c;uestion at the end of the les son should be answered, and refer ence '.o the lesson for any that arc not perfectly clear must be made. Keep our mind on the lesson and it will be learned in a short while. Evelyn Worsley. One must get it in his mind that he has to pass his work in this study, and that he must study it in order to pass it. ; He must get his mind entirely on his work, and think of nothing else. ' Then he must read his lesson thoroughly. If he does all this, it will not be necessary for him to read his iesson over again. Wilson Crane. Mr. W. R. Ricks, a former resi dent of Tarboro, but now of Rocky Mount was here today visiting rela tives. tual confidence between all nations; the other, the creation and mainte nance in power of some superstate. There is no likelihood that the first can be brought about at this time. Not only does the super.staie noi exist, but the United States has gone further than any other nation in in sisting that it will not submit itself to any such international control." Thus is could be inferred, from this expression of the views of Mr. Simon that he does not entertain any great hopes for the success of the Washington Conference more espec) ially as it respects the limitation of! land aTmaments. In anothe small tabloid by Mr. Simonds, in the Washington Herold Weekly Review, October 9th, 1921, is found following: "The Washington Conference will will face all the difficulties of the Paris. Conference, plus those which the American atitude has raised. "France has indicated that she will be pr "pared to discuss reduction of her awn land foces, provided the United States is willing to give new vitality to Wilson's undertaking to send troops to defend her integrity; otherwise not. "The official world, especially in Europe, has evinced a changed atti tude toward the conference: : "Japan is not likely to come out squarely on the question of racial equality. "It is well known that the United States has decided to get out of Europe and into Asia, with the inten tion,' apparent to Europe, of expans sion in the Pacific. V "Success or failure of the Hard ing conference wil depend upon the attitude of ' deligates representing Great Britain, 'and the British col onies. .-,.''".' ; 'V i"I'y would like our help finan cially, and in the Mediterranen, po litically. ' ( "All Europe regards the Confer ence as clearly revealing American imperialistic designs. "It must be admitted that we have objectives. ' ' "Europe will come prepared to ber gain, txpecting to be paid for ad heare.ice to American views, "literally America expects to turn ?P .0UMf. ""si The Coastal Plain Fair went over the top with Thursday's attendance. The records show that there were 500 rfiore paid admissions for the Fair attendance this fall than for the Fair of 1920. This is due to many causes. In the first place, the officials have thoroly advertised the Fair, and the good work done by the publicity man, Mr. Ed(far has showed splendid results. Mr. Harris has worked the eastern territory as it has never been worked before. - The association had the best ex hibits they have ever had before. This is the opinion of all who have attended this Fair. The night attendance has been im mense. Last, night the grounds were filled. The fireworks have been a drawing card. RACES YESTERDAY HI Everyone was well pleased with the races yesterday, hundreds of m people spoke of them as the best in the state this season. This is one feature of the Fair Association which should be commended upon, with so many fairs as competitors. For the first time this week both races ran four heats, all of which were won on the last lap.. The time was fast and kept the grandstand in an uproar the entire length. Mr. W. H. Dail, of Greenville, well known in Tarboro, put up what was termed the greatest race seen on the track this year. Several times he was handicapped on the start, but came out on top.

Hopkins, of Petersburg, I official starter, has been well spoken of during this week, and said to be the best starter the Coastal Plain Fair iias ever had, which also has had a great deal 0f bearing on the satis- faction of the races. ROCKY WIT. DEFEATS TARBORO HIGH 12-0 Another one of the- many interest ing things seen at the Fair yesterday was the hotly contested game be tween Tarboro and Rocky Mount Highs. The game was well worth seeing and both teams deserved much credit. The score was tireless for the first three-quarters, neither team being, able to score when opportun ity came. Once in the first half and again in the third quarter Tarboro had an excellent chance to cross the line, but lacked the punch to put the pigskin across, Tarboro played the best defensive game of this season and held like a stone wall on several occasions. Sev eral times Rocky Mount was thrown for heavy losses when there was a chance to score. ; Porter Macnair, left end for the locals, showed excel lent form in. tackling, twice in one quarter tackling the Rocky Mount backs behind the line and throwing them for ten yard losses. Nat until Rocky Mount substituted a new backfield in the final quarter was there any one-sided playing. The Rocky Mount back field was well ex perienced and fast With consecutive line plunges they scored twice in the final quarter, but failed to kick goal. Referee, Carver; umpire, Powell; linesman, Wiggins; timekeeper Davis. School Day at the Fair. The school trucks provided for by J Supt. K. E. Sentelle to bring school children to the Fair today began to j roll in about nine o'clock, bringing around six hundred children to the Fair. Several trucks had to make return trips as there were so many wishing to attend the Fair and there not 4eing enough trucks to bring I them on the first trip. Th?re were five trucks to come irum LTisp, two irom L,onetoe, three c -from Leggetts, three from Nobles Mill, o.np from Dixie, and one from f ' Pinetops. jji ' The city schools also have holiday f'' today jn order that the pupils may I" attend the fair. The central school has some over six. hundred pupds, a large majority of which will attend the fair. SECRETARY FOSTER MAKES TALK AT THE SCHOOL . Mr. J. D. Foster, secretary of the Tarbo.'o Chamber of Commerce, was speaker at the chapel exercises e-f the city scnools this morning. He con gratulated the football team on the good showing it made against Kin Ston recently, and then called the qt- , tention of his audience to the groat .value cf having definite and hish ob- -jectives. "The general who wins i vriui ies," y declared Mr. Foster, "must first ha"e a definite objective ir view, likewi'' the boy and crirl w'so wiyh to ach'jf success must c nc-jntr ite cn a , oi.tov.AaaL uniuar, T Mr. Foster told the pupils'" they should always am high whe they won great distinction or not. And iie pointed out that in attaining an exalted position little things can not be ignored, but must be given due attention. These remarks served as a prelude to Mr. Foster's announcement of the medals to be given this year. There are fifteen in all. Mr. Fster himself gave his time and effort to soliciting them for . the school, and the firms below jiave generously consented to donate the medals indicated. ' Progress: Messrs. Bourne and Creech.
