The Boys At Camp Sevier Want
Some Good Books, a Phono
graph and Lively Records.
The following extract from a letter
of Captain E. C. Price, of H. Company
is of interest as are always items of
news from the boys in camp, and this
more especially because it tells of
their wants, and expresses the wish
that their desire be gratified:
"I have a reading room for the
Company here, lighted and will De
heated, a place for the boys to go after
supper to do their writing and etc.
The Y. M. C. A. furnishes some writ
ing paper and some buy what they
need, but if I had a few books, good
stories for boys and men, 'twould help
out a lot. Also if we could raise some
money some how and buy a machine
and a few records, lively, catchy re
cords preferably, 'twould help wonder
fully. The adjoining Company, G. of
Reids ville, have something of this sort
and it makes it mighty nice. Don't
you think you could interest the peo
pie up there enough for them to fur
nish these things ? I know there must
be lots of books, exactly what I need,
around Warrenton that the ladies
would be glad to send, and the pho
nograph would not have to be an ex
pensive one at all. I remember one
that was for sale there last summer
for about $25.00 that would xiover ev
ery want in that line. Try to inter
est some one in this for me."
The Warren Record is interested as
will be the people of Warren when
they learn of what pleasure such would
afford our boys. We are, therefore,
establishing a "H. Company Fund"
for the purpose of raising this money.
Contributions are asked from those of
our citizens interested, and any amt.
from a quarter up will be received.
A list of those, giving and the amount
given will be published and when the
amount is raised, this paper and the
Executive Committee of the Red Cross
will purchase the phonograph and re
cords and send them to the boys in
khaki with the wish that they may
enjoy many happy hours around the
machine. Books will also be received
here and shipped to the soldiers.
Any money left over after the pur
chase of the phonograph and records
will be turned over to the American
Red Cross. Let everybody have a
glad hand in providing this means of
amusements for Warren's representa
tives. Let us hear from you all.

UUUU NUMBER
HERE SATURDAY
Mr. John Graham Urges the Im
portance of Sowing Wheat;
Mr. Polk Speaks on War.
There was a large crowd of farmers
here Saturday, ready to discuss the
importance of and the necessity and
patriotic duty of planting more wheat.
The teachers meeting was first on the
program, and went through without a
bitch. When it was over, Prof. John
Graham requested the teachers and
citizens in the Court room to keep
their seats and avail themselves of
the opportunity to hear Mr. Polk.
Mr. Graham made some remarks
upon the" necessity of planting more
wheat and of conserving all produce,
and then, introduced Mr. Tasker Polk
who delivered an address upon "Amer
ica and the World War."
Unfortunately many farmers were
waiting down stairs for the adjourn
ment of the teachers meeting, thinking
that their meeting was to come after
its adjournment, and hence missed Mr.
Graham talk, and the farmers meet
ing was not carried through as suc
cessfully as could have been hoped for.
It is true, however, that those in at
tendance at the meeting were bene
fitted, and it is -a matter pf regret
that all the farmers could npt haye
been in the Court Rfioin and 3 regu-
ar farmers' meeting conducted.
The necessity for planting wheat,
nevertheless, remains an imperative
issue, and Warren farmers are urged
to plant now. Your seed wheat will
be piovided at cost.

"Give fools their gold, and knaves

Who sows a field, or trains a flower;
Or plants a tree is more than all."

Number of Warren Citizens In
Attendance Upon Meeting
In Court House Saturday.
As requested in a previous issue of
the Warren Record a large number of
our white teachers assembled here
Saturday to be instructed by Dr. C.
H. Peete and a member of the State
Board of Health in the new duty as
signed the teacher of examining the
school children for physical infirmi
ties, in order that the parents may
remedy these infirmities in childhood,
or if unable to do so that the State
and County might assist.
Dr. Jordan of the State Board of
Health was present and made an in
structive address an impressive ad
dress. In my opinion this is the foun
dation wprk of the future in every
school room. The ounce of preventive
care which will remove tons of handi
cap in after life.
Many a child has been blamed by
teacher and parent for sluggishness
and indifference to his duties when the
cause was entirely physical. Bad teeth
poor eyesight, adnoids, diseased ton
sils, hook worm, any one of which
saps his vitality and gives him need-
.ess pain and worry.
The State now comes forward and
offers to aid the County in having its
children examined and these unneces
sary defects removed. Blanks are be
ing sent out and meetings will be held
with smaller groups of teachers and
he work pushed forward.

Superintendent.
Shipment of Wool
Hai Been Ordered
Chairman of Knitting Committee
Has Ordered 200 Pounds of
Wool for Red Cross.
Mrs. Adele E. Jones, Chairman of
the Knitting Committee of Warrenton
Chapter American Red Cross has or
dered two hundred pounds of wool
from the factory. She has been in-
brmed by the factory that on ac
count of rush orders that it will be
about three weeks before the wool can
reach her.
Mrs. Jones authorizes us to say that
this wool will be distributed to the
Auxiliaries first and then, if any re
mains, to Warrenton people. This ac-
ion is taken because Warrenton peo
ple were supplied with wool from the
first lot before the neighboring towns
were, and hence it goes to them first
his time.
The following article contributed to
this office explains why many of those;
desiring to knit have not been given
the material:
"In a recent letter received from
Red Cross headquarters for the sou
thern division, were these words. 'I
can best explain why a call went out
for a million and a half sets of knitted
articles and no wool for knitting them
is available through the bureau of
supplies, by saying that when the war
council issued the call, the bureau of
supplies felt confident of getting the
wool from the manufacturers, with
the weight of the government back of
them to requisition the same, but the
industrial situation is so abnormal it
has been absolutely impossible for the
manufacturers to turn out sufficient
wool to supply the demand. This ex
plains the wool situation' . . '.'As a
matter of fact, there is not a pound
of wool in the Red Cross bureau of
supplies depot in Atlanta. To fill
their orders for more than 50,000
pounds, they have received altogether
rom-headquarters 2,000 pounds, all
of which was sent out the day it
came in
FOUR EARS TO THE STALK;
THE FIELD TO AVERAGE THREE
Mr. C. W. King, of Merry Mount,
was in town Saturday, using as a
walking stick a stalk of corn contain
ing four well developed ears.
He informs us that this corn grev
without fertilization, and that his field
will average at least three ears to
each stalk of corn.
