(Tuesday) ASEMI-WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF WARRENTON AND WARREN HON. W. L. KNIGHT DELIV ERS TWO STRONG TALKS At Warren Plains and Warrenton On Centenary Drive May 18-25th. Hon. W. L. Knight, of Weldon, Dis trict Centenary Director, made two .strong - talks in Warren Sunday, al vVarren Plains and Warrenton. Mr. Knight is thoroughly imbued wth the deeper significance of the movement which engages the attention of the rank and file of Methodism May 18-25. His talks were developed along the line of the Centenary program of ;n tercesion, stewardship and tithing, and the obligation inherient upon the indi vidual to measure to the divine teach ing that "I'm my brother's keeper." He deeply impressed this true spirit of the drive upon his hearers, he ex emplified the need of the world for the kind, sympathetic touch, for the cheery smile, for the loving interest and for an idealistic religion which would perpetuate the ideals of the world war into loving service for all time. It was a pleasure to Methodists to ,rreet this speaker and the influence of his talk is expected to reflect strongly tc the success of this great cause in the drive beginning Sunday.

The following account from the New York Evening Sun is interesting to many people here: Capt. Witherell is the husband of Mrs. Peck Bradley Witherell, daughter of Col. T. D. Pee, of this city: 1 Camp Upton, May 1. Few New York officers have a more remarkable record for bravery or seemed to bear a more "charmed" life in the Rainbow Division than Capt. William W. With erell of Kew Gardens, who captured a German captain, a lieutenant and sixty-eight men. He helped to break the Khriemhilde-Stellung sector of the Hindenburg line by a single stroke of military genius. Capt.. Witherell in here with Company B, 168th Infantry, which he commands. lie was for merely with the Chase National Bank. It happened in the assault on the cote De Chatillon in the Meuse-Ar-gonne ogensive on Oct. 16 last. Or dered forward, Company C of the 168th, in which Captain, then Lieu tenant Witherell, was taking the place of commanding officer, met with heavy machine gun fire on the crest of tne hill. For a few minutes a heavy bar rage from a motor battery drove the Germans into the dugouts. When it lifted, Lieut. Witherell, on his own initiative, led his men in a desperate rush of 100 yards to the German de fences, considered almost impregnable. Corporal Joseph Pruette, who was with him, leaped on the parapet of the dugout into which the Germans had crept, beating tHem to their machine gur post by a bnre instant. He hurled a grenrde into jthe dugout.gptelled "Tve got them, captain, I've got 'em!" . Captured a Key Position. At once a German Captain came out and handed over his helmet, belt and pistol to Lieut. Witherell as a token of purrender. A German Lieutenant and. the sixty-eight men followed his ex ample. That extraordinary feat en abled the right and left of the line, which had been held up, to advance and resulted in the capture of a key position of the Kpiemhilde-Sellung. Lieut. Witherell had taken coni "mand of Company C only two days before, . and the preceding day he led the outfit in an attack on hill 288,. as sisting materially in the capture and i organization of that position. While i he was on the hill making himself a irnn of coffe in a German mess equip- r - - ment he had found a tired runnei lashed up to him with a message. It told him that the hill was to be taken at the point of the bayonet and at any cost. "WelL we've captured it all right," he remarked as he sipped the coffee. It had been taken in one dash which overwhelmed the machine gun crews. Trained at Plattsburg. Lieut. Witherell joined the 168th at Camp Mills from the first Plattsburg ICamp. He commanded Company B in I the Champagne from July 15, when I Capt. William K, Kelly wounded, until !inf Wm-P the St. Mihiel drive in , I w w w-. .

In most case? this means that the work should be done sometime between the fifteenth and twenty-fifth of May; the exact time depending upon the variety of apples. The mixture to be used is know ..as poisoned Bordeaux, and consists of the following materials, 4 pounds un- slacked lime, 3 pounds blue stone and 1 pound of arsenate of lead, or two pounds of paste arsenate is used, to fifty gallons of water. Put the blue stone in a cloth and hang it in a tub or keg of water so that it is just be low the surface. - In this way it will dissolve much more rapidly than if thrown in so that it sinks to the bot tom. Put this to dissolve the evening before it is intended to spray and i' will dissolve by morning. This should be in a wooden receptacle. After the blue stone is dissolved, add water to make 25 gallons (if then is not that amount already). f , Slack the lime slowly and wheii completely slacked; add ater to makt 25 gallons.

The Need For A New Life Program The American nation was startled 3rst and then dismayed and disheart ened when the selective draft showed that our young men were fast -becoming waklings.' The great j3er cent of lyottngeiTnoereTpund to" o. cither T physically or menf ally unfit fo military duty was like a vre alarm at night. The utter change that the cus toms of the country had undergone in the last twenty-five years the lack oi sports, the absence of physical exer cise, the ravages of disease, the cig arette, soda fountain, picture show, hot house lives, and the absence of everything calculated to produce man ly vigor, have so devitalized the young manhood of the country that serious alarm has been raised.. Not only a? this been felt upon the condition of the population, but like a canker it has eaten into the moral and mental stam ina of the young. Now there is a great cry, led by the national govern ment itself, for better health, better sports,, better recreation, better physi cal habits,' better eating and drinking habits, more clean living, more out of door exercise, and in short; more of everything that tends that is likely to produce normal and happy and strong and efficient human beings. This work I will begin with the infants in arms," nay with the mothers before the in fants are born, and go all the way up through the schools, through young manhood' and womanhood, -middle ago and old age, before we shall have suc ceeded in producing the vigorous and healthy manhood and womanhood" thai we once had. The coming era is to be the era of sane and happy living. The patent medicine habit and the dope rabit and the ease habit must go the way of the liquor habit. We hail with joy any proposition hat tends to develope the spirit 'of cut-door sports. Baseball, the Ameri can game, has itself becomeprofes sionalized and commercialized. It was once a real national sport before the day of professionalism. It should b? encouraged in every community. We need hospitals, but we also need play frounds and sane living arid clean ex ercise to keep the population from fall;ng prey to all the modern diseases that have developed as a result of wrcng living. Every community should have ball grounds, tennis grounds, vol ley ball grounds, and all other kinds of grounds that will encourage the population-to use them What indeed shall it profit a man if he gain th"" whole work" arid lose his own soul? And what indeed shall it profit us if we have the means of living comforta ble and happy lives if we let the in ducement to -languor and disease and nhvsical laziness sap the vitality of ... life generally and cut down the three score and t?n years of a nan's life to two score, which is becoming almost (Continued On Fourth Page) SALVA' Number 37. 5c.

Its founder was a Methodist preacher who coming in contact with sin and its conditions decided to leaVe the pulpit and go into social work to remove the cause and to reach those whom the churches did not reach, not only to regenerate the individual but to rmove crcumstancees responsible for the individual's fall. "Its doors are open to every human being that may need help; no conditions are made. Beyond feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, clothing the ragged, healing the sick, cleansing the unclean, finding work for the unem ployed, comfort for the dreary and hope for the hopeless, the Salvation Army maintains Slum Settlement from which radiate neighborhood re lief, the workers of which care for babies, wash, scrub, teach, advise and champion the cause of the weak in every way; secure homes for faller' women (155 women in six adjoining Counties in past 3 years have been taken from paths of sin), maintain maternity hospitals, industrial homes. workingmen's hotels, children's homer for orphans and neglected children, young women's boarding houses, fresh air amps; it works among prisoners and homes of prisoners; it gives fre ice, coal,' wood, clothing and medicines and cash." It is the largest and best charity organization in the world. The motto of the Oversea's soldier is "What ever you do, don't forget the . Salvaction Army" because it fed and cared for and prayed for them right up and into the trenches. Ask any soldier.
