THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE FOR BARROW COUNTY.
Lying on my hack in a hospital, separated from friends and loved
ones, my thoughts are about home, the dearest place on earth, about
those who know me and about the future of Harrow county and it’s
splendid citizens.
One never knows how to value the friendship of those among
whom he has lived most of Lis days until in the solitude of a sick room
miles away from them, he suffer* all alone and thinks of the many acts
of kindness and the many deeds of love and appreciation he has left
unnoticed in this strenuous life, which makes us too often forget
friendships and the sorrows and disappointments of those with whom
we mix and mingle as the years go by.
But what 1 had started out to write about was the future pros
perity of our county and people and what duty requires of us on June
14 th.
We feel that we will he unanimous in our endorsement of the two
bond issues, because we all believe it is for the host interest of Barrow
county. We all believe this is not a matter over which we can argue
and divide, because there is no argument or division necessary. It is
simply a plain matter of duty to perform.
Issues occasionally arise which admit argument and division. Is
sues in which good citizens have a right to differ without detriment
to their county. Issues, when the argument is strong on both sides of
question, and political principles involved which force men to divide
and stand by their convictions.
But there are also issues entirely divorced from political consid
erations, which must he decided, that are solely for the material
growth and prosperity of a county and the general welfare ol all its
citizens.
When of this nature arise there is no excuse for argument
and opposition, But they should enlist the unqualified support of ev
ery map who wishes to see )>ig county the of other counties,
h The parumovjftt >S B ue in iWroVv county is the election on June 14,
lfor a V)on<l issue to build a court house and an issue to build } ma
nent highways. . .
The man who fails to see the importance of this move is not only
doing himself an injustice, but a greater one to his county. He is tak
ing a wrong view of life and what is expected of him; he is helping
lo impede developement instead of encouraging it, and we cannot Re
lieve we have any citizens of this kind after they fully realize the im
portance of united action for these two bond issues on June 14th.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES
A Proclamation
THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMER-
K A have rendered notable service
to the Nation during the world
war. They have done effective
work in the Liberty Loan and
War Savings campaigns, in dis
covering and reporting upon the
black walnut supply, in cooperat
ing with the Red Cross and other
war work agencies, in acting as
dispatch hearers for the Commit
tee on Public Information, and in
other important fields. The Boy
Scouts have not only demonstrat
ed their worth to the Nation, but
have also materially contributed
to a deeper appreciation by the
American people of the higher
conception of patriotism and good
citizenship.
THK BOY SGOI'T MOVE
MENT should not only be preserv
ed, hut strengthened. It deserves
the support of all public-spirited
citizens. The available means for
the Hoy Scout movement have
thus far sufficed for the organiza
tion and training of only a small
proportion of the boys of the
country. There are approximately
IO.OOO.tXtO boys in the United
States between the ages of twelve
and twenty-one. Of these only
375,000 are enrolled as members of
the Boy Scouts of America.
AMERICA cannot acquit her
self commensurately with her
power and influence in the great
period now facing her and the
world unless the boys of America
are given better opportunities
than heretofore to prepare them
selves for the responsibilities of
citizenship.
KYKRY nation depends for its
future upon the proper training
and development of its youth. The
American hoy must have the best
training and discipline our great
democracy can provide if America
is to maintain her ideals, her
standards and her influence in the
world.
THE plan, therefore, for a boy
Scout week during which a uni
versal appeal will be made to all
Americans to supply the means to
put the Boy Scouts of America in
a position to carry forward effec
tively and continuously the splen
did work they are doing for the
youth of America, should have
the unreserved support of the Na
tion.
THEREFORE, 1. WOODROW
WILSON, PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERI
CA, do hereby recommend that
the period beginning Sunday,
June Bth, to Flag Day, June 14th,
be observed as Boy Scout Week
through the United States for the
purpose of strengthening the work
of the Boy Scouts of America.
1 EARNESTLY recommend
that, in every community, a Citi
zens’ Committee under the leader
ship of a National Citizens’ Com
mittee, be organized to cooperate
in carrying out a program for a
definite recognition of the effec
tive services rendered by the Boy
Scouts of America; for a survey
of the facts relating to the boy
hood of each community, in order
that with the cooperation of
churches, schools and other organ
izations definitely engaged in
work for boys, adequate provision
may be made for extending the
Boy Scout program to a larger
proportion of American boyhood.
THE BOY SCOI'T MOVE
MENT offers unusual opportunity
for volunteer service. It needs men
to act as committeement and as
leaders of groups of hoys. 1 hope
that all who can enlist for such
personal service, enroll as asociate
members and give all possible fin
ancial assistance to this worthy
organization of American boy
hood. Anything that is done to in
crease tlie effectiveness of the Boy
Scouts of America will be a gen
uine contribution to the welfare
of the Nation.
In witness whereof 1 have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af
fixed.
Done this first day of May in
the year of our Lord, one thou
sand nine hundred and nineteen,
and of the independence of the
United States of America, the one
hundred and forty-third.

SNAP SHOTS.

A poor fellow w ho regularly at

The (’liautauqua spirit that ter
rilies a community on good, clean,

The only thing that some men
regard as of real value is a piece
of round silver with an eagle
stamped on it.
The 14th of June draws on

that not a single ballot will be

When the lights went ont Com

give their children cropped out.
The old fashioned hickory would

Today the human race is divid

pedestrians. The latter is so rare
that they take unto themselves the
prerogative of walking where
they please, regardless of the
comfort or discomfort of the for

A serious problem for the aver

evening dress on without any
strap across her shoulders at all.
It is true these days that girls
with the prettiest and shapeliest

A mountaineer was asked the

Some Winder citizens think
that church membership consists
in leaving their names on a church
register a hundred or more miles
away. Moral-Unite with the
church of your denomination
nearest you and go to work for
Christ.
The girls who allow men to
dance with them may expect to
have the men talk about them af

thing is, the remarks are not al

Georgia seems to have a great
flock of gubernatorial aspirants in
embryo, who will come forth full
fledged as soon as the Legislature
opens.
The preachers rejoice that next
season is political. Their congre

get a lot of cordial

From hook agents who have
only the most reliable and authen
tic histories of the recent great
World War, and their increasing
chatter about the same, the good
Lord deliver us.
Fleas and book agents are help

dogs and long-suffering people to

We’re not only calling your at

Cleaning Gilt Frames,
Gilt frames may be cleaned by wash
ing them with u small spoßge moist
ened with oil of turpentine, the sponge
being only sufficient wet to take off
the marks. The gliding should not be
wiped off, but left to dry without wip
ing. Varnishing with the best copal
varnish is advised for gilt frames, as
they can then be washed off carefully
with a sponge.
