Honor theFighters Soldiers, sailors, marines, our sons and brothers the heroes who fought to perpetuate the principles of liberty will pass in review before thousands of their kinsmen and friends on Armistice Day. v Not long ago, more than 2,000 sons of Wayne county left home and fireside to be enrolled in the greatest army .the world has ever seen; a host that crossed the sea, and, on foreign soil, immortalized the fame of the American fighting man. On Thursday they will assemble again sol

dier, sailor and marine in the uniform of their

country to follow the flag in impressive parade, past the exulting crowds of their fellow citizens, in honor of the day that two years ago. marked the culmination of their heroic deeds and unparalleled sacrifices. Not air of that young host of valiant boys will march with buoyant step and erect carriage in Thursday's procession. Some lie entombed on the sunny hillsides of France; some have been interred in the nation's burial place for its departed heroes in Arlington cemetery; some have found Uheir final resting place in our own community. But unto all of them, the living that march by in youthful strength, and the dead who have entered eternity's portal, will be extended full honor on Armistice Day. For them the bells ring, the bugles call, the flags flutter, and the prayers of the war mothers rise like sacrificial incense to the great White Throne. For them Wayne county will offer, from thankful hearts, a full measure of patriotic ap

preciation.' Unto them will be given the loving

tribute of a thankful community. We, who remained at home to work in fac

tory, and on the farm, to buy Liberty bonds and support the Red Cross, can little understand their sacrifices, or little compensate them for their sufferings, vicariously brought, in behalf of democratic principles and republican institutions. Only those who fought at Verdun, ChateauThierry, in the Argonne, on the Meuse, in Italy, on the seas, and in the sky, know the full horror of the most destructive war that ever was waged in the history of mankind. Measured by tangible rewards, the tribute of appreciation we offer Thursday to Wayne county's fighting host means little. Eut the spirit in which it is offered exemplifies the deep love of the community for its fighters, its proud remem-

uraiicu ui tut; jneu wnu went imu iub .pawo j. death to defencf principles upon which the American commonwealth is founded. We know that no word of ours, no deed of our hands, can ever repay the debt of gratitude we owe to the survivors of that struggle and to the members of the silent army, who lie, row on row, in the burial places of France.

Shall it also be said of this generation that it values lightly the sacrifices of its, heroes? Shall it also be said of us in disdain and with reproach, by the veterans of this mighty army, that their sacrifices were brought in vain? That their mighty deeds of yesterday are forgotten in the transient cares of today? Armistice Day has a significant message for the men and women of this generation. Thousands of the boys who entered the service in physical health have returned shattered in body, maimed and disfigured ; worthy recipients of the tenderest care and the highest financial consideration this nation can pay. We sent them into the service with flags flying, bands playing, and the, thunder of our welfares drowned the cries of the mothers who saw their most precious possession for whom they had gone into the valley of the shadow of death leave home to court the dangers of the battlefield and probable death. Will an ungrateful public permit one mother's soul to be saddened wifti rancor today because her son must suffer deprivations, lack bodily comforts, cry for medical attention, beg for sufficient compensation to offset the loss incurred by a physical disability which was caused in the valiant discharge of duty ?

In the heart of many a service man has stolen the impression that the public already has forgotten his sacrifice; and that our hearts, once attuned to the highest pitch of patriotism, are today unresponsive to his greatest needs. Of what benefit will be a joyous celebration of the anniversary of Armistice Day if the very men in whose honor it is conducted feel that their sacrifices elicit no response that will alleviate suffering and compensate for injuries? Happily for Richmond service men, the officers of the American Legion posts have obtained adequate provision for the care of the disabled men whose plight has come to their attention, but they still find incapacitated men whose post-war treatment does not square fully with the dictates of justice and fair play. Every man who fought for his country and was disabled in its service is richly entitled to the fullest compensation for his loss, and an alert public should co-operate with the American Legion and other agencies to the end that he does not suffer and that his heart will rejoice for the attention and care of a thankful republic. Herein we may find a rich field for the cultivation of our patriotism. Shouts and applause are only empty manifestations of approval and appreciation, if back of them are not warm hearts that hear the cry of distress and active hands that are willing to give relief.

And yet how forgetful is humanity of its 1;enefactors ! How quickly does the passage of time efface the "record of meritorious service! How prone is mankind to overlook the welfare of those who suffered in its behalf!

Wayne county's quota of soldiers, sailors and marines maintained the fighting traditon of our community. They were cited on the field of battle ; they were promoted to high office ; nowhere and at no time did a son of this county turn his back to the foe; one and all, private and officer, they merited the approbation of their commanding officers and won the esteem of their comrades in arms. We pay homage to the men who laid down

their lives on the altar of patriotic service ; we pay tribute to the men who are still with us. Unto us is given the duty of nursing the disabled and wounded, of alleviating their suffering, of easing their pain, of surrounding them with comforts and conveniences. Unto us is given the glorious task of handing down to posterity the story of their achievements, unsullied and unimpaired, and of enshrining in our own hearts the record of their sacrifices in our behalf and for the cause of humanity.

E. M. H., Grensfork Please tell me why rice Is polished? This is a fad. People like to see a clean white grain. The outer coating, -which is polished off, Is used for feeding purposes, as It contains valuable food properties. The part is polished off, has a certain food ingredient that is of value to the consumer. (2) Is it the beat polished or unpolished? Governmental tests show that it Is best unpolished. The people of Japan and China have subsisted on unpolished rice for centuries. Rice In its natural state is preferable to the polished variety.

ROADS

I am fascinated by roads. For, youj see, roads lead to somewhere. i There is the straight and narrow

rond, as ihey say then there are the wide, inviting roads, the narrow, winding, mysterious roads, the lovely shaded roftds with great and wonderful 'trees locking their arms across them. And there is the hilly, picturesque road, and the long, almost never-ending road. All are interesting and useful. Roads knit civilization and, in fact, make civilization possible. Tagore, the great Indian poet and philosopher, said a very beautiful thing about roads. He said that the road is a part of one's destination not something merely to go over on the way to one's mission. Life is a very great road. And each ta rt na rhnncno o v n r 1 1 v tliA kinrl of

times we get olt our cnosen roaa ana wander miles and miles away, going through all sorts of by-paths of experience. When you know that you ajre on the wrong road, there is only one thing to do, and that is to stop at once and seek the right road. You may have to Inquire and get the advice of others but do it. We all make mistakes. None of us is so wise but weget off our direct route time and time again. We all often need the kindly charting of other minds. The important thing in character building and aggressive living is to know the road over which you go, and then to travel It intelligently all the way throwins out helpfulness and good over every mile!

the experiments Dr. W. N. Logan, state geologist, announced today. Shale outcroppings covering approximately 300 square miles of territory between North Vernon and New Albany have been shown by tests to produce from 30 to 55 gallons of oil per ton. One company has purchased a tract of land in Floyd and Clark counties on which it proposes to erect an experimental plant to determine the commercial possibilities of extracting the oil from the shale.

An advertising manager was going home one night in a tranicar. It was late, and the man who sat next to him began to talk. "What business are you in?" he asked. "The advertising business." "Is that so? I used to be in the advertising business myself. I gave it up, though, and went into the rag-and-old-bottle business. I was a sandwich man for a theatre for six months. Say," and he leaned over confidently, "ain't it hard work when the wind blows?" "You've got indigestion; that's what's the matter with you," said the doctor. "Oh, that's what it is, then?" Inqui?ed the patient. "That's it. You've been eating a lot of meat, I suppose?" "I have; yes." "Well, now you're paying for it." "Would you mind telling my butcher that, doctor?"

THE IRON DOLLAR In olden days, with one round dollar how much good fodder I )uld buy! And then I'd stand around and holler because the prices were so high! I used to seek the corner grocer, and fill my basket with his junk, and he would say, "I'd have you know, sir, that all this costs you but a plunk." And to the butcher I would toddle, and buy a soupbone for a dime, and merrily my wife would yodel as she brewed consomme sublime. And at the urbane haberdasher's a dollar bought a gaudy shirt; and I could buy potato mashers and other hardware cheap as dirt. Oh, happy days, when one round dollar would buy a wagonload of truck! And now I know of nothing smaller, when I go shopping, than a buck. And in those days that I'm regretting, when dollar, cut all kinds of ice, I knew the depths of grief and fretting when I bought things and paid the price. I often wring my hands and wonder what made me rear and paw and roar, hen I would buy a ton of plunder for ninety cents, or two cents more. Such times, I fear, are gone forever, hut if by luck they should come nigh, I'll surely make a brave endeavor to bless the merchant when I buy.

Breeding of Skanks May Stabilize Market (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Breeding of skunks as a means of stabilizing the "depressed fur market," is the latest suggestion of the department of agriculture. - Despite all the harsh things that have been said about this lowly animal, the department describes him as "the best wild animal friend the farmer has." The skunk, the announcement says, can be used for destroying mice, grasshoppers, crickets and white grubs, at the same time furnishing the farmer $50 to $100 worth of fur a year All that is required of the farmer, the circular says, is that he "respect the animals' dens, keep his poultry in skunk-proof yards, kill an old horse for them every fall and be tactful

when he meets them In the evening."

THE GRAND LEADER

Some Facts You Should Know For ten years Kerv-Worth has been giving entire satisfaction wherever sold. Public faith is strengthened by the maker's guarantee YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOUR FIRST COTTLE DOES NOT PRODUCE BENEFITS. Nerv-Worth is endorsed and recommended by Doctors, Druggists, Preachers, Judges, City Officials, Public Performers and people from all walks of life, millions of whom have received wonderful benefits. The majority of ills are said to be due to nervous offlictions and digestive disorders. Nerv-Worth successfully gives benefits because it acts on both NERVE and STOMACH disorders, and thus gives results where others fail. Nerv-Worth is made in our owti sanitary laboratories after a scientific formula, and contains extracts of roots and plants, which for years have been considered of highest value by medical science. It complies with all Pure Food and Drug laws of the United States.

Endorsed by Physicians Recommended by Druggists Convincing Proof That There is Real Merit and Medicinal Value in Nerv-Worth is Found in the Endorsements of Physicians and Druggists Who Have Tested NervWorth from a Professional Standpoint and Found That it Does the Work.

"I consider Nerv-Worth a wonderful remedy. It is giving the best of satisfaction, and our sales have exceeded our expectation." said Geo. W. Clawson, druggist at Troy, Ohio.

FERGUSON Said: "Nerv-Worth is truly a great remedy. I have tested it professionally in my practice and actually and practically in my family. It gives me pleasure to recommend it to the general public. It, in my opinion, will prove a great boon to the sufferer for the troubles for which it is intended to be an ameliorative, remedy."

DR. G. W. ADAMS Said: "I can recommend Nerv-Worth for nervousness and indigestion or any ills which attend neurathenia," If you are run down, half sick, nervous and irritable, or if you are sleepless, have a sour breath, suffer from gas on the stomach, . belching, stomach pains, nervous moodiness, or depression, take Nerv-Worth and let it help restore your health.
