This sample code will gives you an idea on initializing multiple varibales with out using static method:

public class SomeClass implements SomeOtherClass{

private String string1= getValues("/var/log/log1.txt");
private String component = getValues("/var/log/log2.txt");

private String getValues(String file) {
        try {
          return  new Scanner(new File(file)).next();
        }catch(FileNotFoundException ioe){
            System.out.println("File not found :: " +ioe);
        }
        return null;
    }
