Tmt|UM Price: »-4 •Oc All Attf. 6e a Um par Published weekly an Second Class Mail Matter at the Peak Office at Farnwffle, N. C., Act of March 3rd. 1878. A SHARE IN KINDNESS Nothing in life is more difficult for peace-loving: people to bear than war with all its grim horror, its on ending trail of sorrow, its disruption of homes and its utter waste of life and property. Yet the people of this nation, are in the third year of the world's most horrible war. Each day more blue stars in ser vice flags turn to gold as this son, that brother or that father falls on a distant and unknown battle-field. Each day handreds, or thousands, of men are carried to hospitals with grievous wounds. Each is a member of some American family. Thous ands, yes millions, of American men in uniform are tired beyond belief of battle, and homesick for home and family. Yet they know they must keep on. There is no one of us but would give everything to lighten the burden of sorrowing families who have lost their men, or calm the fears of those whose men have been wounded. We would give all we could to ease the pain of the injured, or still the home sickness in those who must fight on. Today, as the American Red Cross opens itB campaign for funds, we can do our share in lightening the burden of sorrow, in calming the fears, and in easing the pain of the wounded. The American Red Cross was oreat ed just for that purpose and through its channels of Mercy we can do most for those who need our help. The Red Cross is at the front keep ing alive the atmosphere of home for the men who are fighting; the Red Cross is in the hospitals cheer ing the wounded and sending mes sages home to anxious and fearful relatives; the Red Cross is sending blood plasma and surgical dressings to save the lives of American youth; the Red Cross is here at home to aid and assist families in distress. The person with his nose to the grindstone isn't likely to turn it up at others. It's only a 60-hour journey to the most distant part of the globe but why should anyone want to go there ? A mother trains her child to drink from a bottle when he is young and expects him not to do it when he grows up. The Tobacco Branch Experiment Station tested 1,034 different types of tobacco from all parts of the world and found only 1 that was re sistant to Granville wilt.
