C. Lynn, Wayne Corpening and John L. Reitzel did in Haywood county. All three men were reserve officers in the U. S. Army and from the first declaration of war each knew that his days in civilian life were numbered and that thev Were sub ject to call at any moment. Even so, they worked to the last day as if they miirht return to complete their jobs the next day. Each of the three men rendered an ex ceptional service to Haywood county and have built a firm foundation for agricultural progress in this section. NATIONAL EDITORIAL inA7!CASS(X I ATION THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1912 Two Points In Favor As time goes on and the rationing of tires has become a reality two things are rapidly developing as a result one affecting the adults and another the youth. It is a self evident fact that the older gen erations are going to spend more time at home. There will be little unnecessary trip ping from place to place without any parti cular objective. There will be no doubt de spite the mental strain that present condi tions are placing upon people, more time for reading than has been the case in many years. Social life will naturally become more simple. Youth that has felt that it could not "date" without a car, even go a short distance to the movies will have to leam to walk. Riding in the moonlight will have to be replaced by a "stroll" which we are told was prevalent in the gay nineties. Hiking parties will have to be substituted for long summer rides. They might prove as interesting, and cer tainly much cheaper. . It looks on deeper consicferation that there are a number of bright spots and consola tions to this tire rationing, that will have more far reaching effects than most of us realize before the day when it will take only the cold cash to purchase a tire. The Moving Mountain "Gigantic war tasks" are keeping Hitler too busy at the rear to permit him to go to the front, announces Dr. Otto Dietrich, nazi press chief. At the risk of seeming to give aid and comfort to the enemy, we hasten to reas sure Dr. Dietrich and his boss. They need not be troubled. The fuehrer obviously be ing a far mightier man than Mohammed, the mountain is coming to him. At the rate it is now moving, the front will arrive at the rear almost any day.

I u Not Even $21 A Month In every draft area in the country there was a board of three men appointed by the government to direct the affairs of the se lective draft service. These men receive no compensation whatever for their services. It is doubtful if the public in general has any idea of the extent of those services ren dered, or the problems that arise which they must thrash out. When the family of a man urges that he not be sent to join the armed forces, and while on the face of the appeal it looks rea sonable to decide that it is all right for the man to remain at home, there is often no rule to apply to his particular case. The board has little leeway in such instances, for they must adhere to the rules set down by the government. The local board has spent hours working with the clerk in the office classifying the men, and we wish to take this opportunity to give them credit for their service render ed in this manner. to emphasize her remarks girls were so taken with it, a regular pastime ...

There is something very stimulating about looking backward to the 'fine accomplish ments of the year just passed and hearing the reports of the younger generation as they plan their projects that give promise of reaching eventually higher goals than their elders. A check on the activities of the Demon stration Farmers would no doubt reveal the greatest period of agricultural development ever known in Haywood county. During the five years since the organization was per fected more progressive methods and prac tices of farming have been inaugurated than in any other five years previous. The 4-H Club members who will in time take the places of their parents showed by their records Saturday that they will be well qualified to follow In their footsteps. any extended war zone.

When you see a church that's empty, though its doors are opened wide. It is not the church that's dying. Its the laymen who have died. V For it's not by song or sermon that the church's work is done, It's the laymen of the country who for God must carry on.
