Autumn and its Leaves
After we've gathered the harvest sheaves.
Follow the; gorgeous autumn leaves;
Leaves of red, and brown and gold.
With yellows, and greens and tints untold.
They blend in beautiful, wonde rfulshad es.
Presented in various forms and grades
Sufficient to stir an artist's soul
And make him wish vainly forcolor control.
We walk in the woodlands on carpets of leaves.
Carpets of Nature's magicalwcaves; ,
And wish for a weaver to copy the scheme.
As we wander in ecstacy, as in a dream.
Never such blending, or color, or styles
To man was revealed, on life's weary miles;
A cold natured artist, whose name is Jack Frost.
Just tinted the landscape at nominal cost.
Of course, from the flowers, he took heavy toll;
For all their bright colors he ruthlessly stole;
But now with some interest, returns them again.
By tinting the leaves on the mountain and plain
When winter is over and spring days return,
These colors will come to both flower and fern;
We'll always have color from Nature, my dear,
TVhether in autumn or spring of the year.
So let us he thansful and prompt to admire
The beauties around us before they retire.
Let us thank God for autumn and autumnal leaves.
For Jack, the cold artist, his color and hreeze
A NAVAL RECRUIT WRITES
Dear Mr. Editor: Will you
allow me a little space in your
interesting paper.
I have been in the Navy since
August 9th and like it fine. We
have been transferred from the
training to the New Naval Op
erating Base which is located on
the Exposition grounds and Pine
Beach, Jamestown, Va. No
doubt some of our friends would
be anxious to know how we are
faring for "eats," bedding, etc.
We have enough to eat and it is
cooked well. We had beef, po
tatoes, beans, soup, pudding and
coffee for dinner. We have two
blankets, mattress and hammock
It is no trouble to sleep for the
barracks are kept '.quiet after
nine o'clock.
There are several things here
to keep the boys jolly and ani
mated. The Naval Y. M. G. A
furnishes some kind of amuse
ment or entertainment every
evening after the boys' work is
completed,
I am in the Naval Kadio
school and expect to leave for
Harvard University soon for a
few months course m wireless.
Until I enlisted in the navy I

of Sunburst,. N. C.
Shall be glad to hear from
some one from Haywood county
who is in the army.
We would say to the friends at
home, "Do not worry about us
for we have not run up against
anything but what we can stand
and we do not see anything be
fore us but what we believe we
can do likewise. Of course it is
an extremely different life from
what we have been accustomed
to, but we can soon get used to,
it. For we can almost change

MEDICAL INSPECTION OF
SCHOOLS TO BEGIN
The teachers of Haywood
county will please note that the
State Board of Health wishes
the inspection of the school chil
dren to begin right away.
The blanks for these exami
nations have been sent to the
teachers, and the tongue depres
sors may be had by calling at
my office on Saturday, Oct 27,
or any day thereafter. The law
requires each teacher to exam
ine every student in the school,
and report to the County Medi
cal Inspector on the blanks
furnished by the State Board of
Health.
The Medical Inspector noti
fies the parents of those chil
dren whose cords show physical
defects to bring such children to
his office or some other desig
nated place on a certain day for '
further examination, and should
such parent fail to comply with
such notice, he! lays! himself
liable to indictment and accord
ing to the law, may be fined or
imprisoned or both.
The County Medical Inspector
will advise the parents of the
nature of any defects in their
children and will recommend any
treatment as he thinks" they
should have. The law does not
require the parents to have their
children treated, but isn't it a
poor parent who will not take as
much interest in his own child
as the state and county are taking?
The sltate has appropriated
$10,000 to be used jn the treat
ment of poor children in the 33
counties that are being worked
this year. Haywood county will
get about $300 from the state
to aid in this work provided she
will give an equal amount. Of
course our commissioners will

has not been a boy who came
from North Carolina but what
can stand under every task that
is put on his shoulders, and it is
up to the friends and parents to
do likewise.
Be strong! We are not here to
play, to dream, to drift,
We have hard work to do and
loads to lift;
Many a child has gone through
life a cripple physically and men
tally when an opportunity like
this would have given them'the
medical treatment or slight op
eration that would have made
them practically normal children
and given them an equal chance
in life with other children.
Haywood county boasts of her
Shun not the struggle face it!. fine cattle, sheep and hogs and

Be strong; it matters not how
intrenched the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the
day how long;
Faint not; fight on; tomorrow
come the song.
