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. WOODROW WILSON.

FINE FARM FOR SALE 100 acres just 2 1-2 miles out from Winder on public high way. You will never have such an opportunity again. , Lamar & Perry SNAP SHOTS. (By Rev. W. H. Faust.) A poor fellow w ho regularly at tends a cafe in a big eity spends yearly for hat checks S2O. And the hat only cost him $5. It id the High Cost of living or tlie Cost of High living that counts. The (’liautauqua spirit that ter rilies a community on good, clean, inspiring entertainment is essen tial to the growth of a real city. 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 apace. It is earnestly to be hoped that not a single ballot will be cast against Bonds for good roads. When the lights went ont Com mencement night at Winder, the sort of training that some parents give their children cropped out. The old fashioned hickory would do some good even today. Today the human race is divid ed into tw’o classes, motorists and 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 mer. A serious problem for the aver age man. How a woman keeps an evening dress on without any strap across her shoulders at all. It is true these days that girls with the prettiest and shapeliest ankles get the least mud on their skirts. A mountaineer was asked the geological structure of North Georgia, and answered that it was mostly Haptist lie believed. 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 ter the show is over, and the sad thing is, the remarks are not al ways complimentary. 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 gations/vvill increase and they will get a lot of cordial themselves. 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 ful to the end that they cause dogs and long-suffering people to forget themselves at least for a few hours. Don’t let a blow out make you curse Just thank your stars—it wasn’t worse. We’re not only calling your at tention to the fact that we repair tubes and casings in a practical, wearful manner, but we want to cause you to remember that think ing your car is safe doesn’t make it so. You’d better let us look the machine over at frequent inter vals, sort of feel of its pulse and-, test its circulation. j ALLEN’S GARAGE. 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.
