UNCLE SAM TEACHING OUR BOYS TO READ AND WRITE. Washington, May 7 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —B> reason of receiving Injuries in the service of the government a gneat many soldiers j have found their way to real opper-! 1 tunity. Before being wounded or dis- J abled these men were illinerate, with no capital save their brute strength and obtaining only the small rewards | which the sale of brute strength brings. They are now being edueat-j ed so as to qualify themselves for a wider field of usefulness with the increased rewards attendant thereon. More than one hundred of these men j are now taking the academic element-, ary course. These were poor fellows ’ ' wh oeould, in some instances, read nor write and ha«V been common laborers until they were disabled. They will be given a good common school education, and if any of them manifest special traits, which promise well, these will be eveloped. This has been the case already in numerous instances. There are 25 who are taking the academic college course, and there arc numerous other occupations which they could not have I licped to aspire had not they been disabled by service in the government. In this case it is really the "fortunes of war” for them, for while there has been temporary suffering, yet t lie [ gate of opportunity has been swung I open for them and they may now * pass through. ARTIE JACKSON HOME Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Jackson have received word that their son, Artie L. Jackson, arrived at Newport News, on May 2nd. And after two or three j day 9 at the camp there will be sent j to some camp nearer home to be discharged. Pie has been in service near Jly nine months overseas spending forty days on the front, following the Germans as they retreated and preI paring the way for our American soldiers as they advanced on the enemy. He has seen some exciting hoppen- ! ings, at one time wroking directly under a battle between three airplanes. He will he very glad to get , home again, which will be in about ten or twelve days. - SOCIETY (Continued From Page 5) obligated.

DONATE SERVICES f And Time—West Virginia | Workmen Help Out Em- | ployment Bureau. I A LACK OF FUNDS | Would Have Forced it to 1 1 Close—Great Spirit of | Co-operation Shown. K£ | Workmen of a West Virginia city — gave their time and labor willingly 4" for the construction of a temporary ~ employment booth in that city when JJ it was learned that the United States < • Employment Service would have to ~ give up its quarter for lack of funds. ( , according to a report by a field speak- j | er the Information and Education .. Service, Department of Labor. |! The necessity for continuing the j | office as a clearing house for jobs • ■ was considered so urgent that the ~ workmen of the city, on their own, ] J initiative, decided to build quarters ■ > for the work. A site was found and ~ materials given, and men in the build- J | mg trades, refusing to accept any pay j j , for their services, quickly put the of- .. ! lice into commission. 1! Throuhgout West Virginia there is ; | ' a splendid spirit of cooperation be- ■ ■ tween employer and employee, and in ] I spite of the uncertainly that has fol- J j lowed the armistice business is go- > • ing ahead, the speaker reports. There ~ has been an excellent response to \ J the “Build a home” movement, and in j 1 almost every munlcipillty public .. works held back by the war are being pushed forwards as a means of providing buffer employment in the emergency. | *>- PAVING THE WAY FOR PERFECT FRUIT. Summer Spraying. Thinning and Gen- | eral Care for Biggest Returns. | It may be true that "looks are not ! everything." But when it comps to I fruit, you can be 9ure that without ' good looks you haven't got good quality. A neglected, brushy, diseased tree cannot bear fruit; a scabby, wormy apple, o rahalf-starved peach cannot have the quality it should. You may not be able to get quite as higli color on your home grown fruits as they do in some of the western orchards, but you can get as good quality—with the added advantage of having it stay on the tree until it should be picked. Home grown fruit, like home grown vegetables, ' should be better than you can buy. ’ To get quality in fruit, however, it is necessary to take pains to grow * it right. If you are not willing to i V spend a few hours on the trees, bettci not bother with them at all. Without attention the results will be so . poor that it would be better to de- •

vote the space to something else. ! Dwarf trees, which are to be found J now on many small places, have both < : advantages and disadvantages as ! compared to the standards. In the | first place they need better care; 1 they arc more likely to overbear; ! they will not keep to the dwarf shape J if allowed to grow as they please; ' they are not as hardy and robust as ! most standards. But they yield a great deal sooner, they are very much ' more easily cared for as all work can . be done from the ground, and really | fine fruit can be produced with more ' certainty than on large trees. . ; After the early spring spraying (de- \ ' scribed in a former article) a second spray should be given. The lime for ■ this is as soon as the bees stop visit- ! ing the blosoms, and before the ' calyces (left b> the falling petals) ■ have closed. o THE PUBLIC DEFENDER , Tomorrow night the Royal Neigh ' I bor ledge of this city will hold their benefit shew at the Rex theater, and have secured for the occasion a powerful picture, ' The Public Defender” one of the biggest dramas ever produced, featuring three great movie stars, beaded by Mr. Frank Keenan, and supported by a cast of over five ' hundred people. They will hold a matinee at 2 o’clock and the evening show begins at T o’clock. Tickets are selling for ten and twenty cents.
