000 In Line of March.
jjeW York, Sept. 10. With Pershing
at their head and with the cross of
var twinkling on their storied banners
First Division of - the Regulars
marched down Fifth avenue today,
the colors of three regiments of in
fantry were twined with': the four
ranger of France, symbol of gallantry,
and on the breasts of hundred! of
marchers were ribbons bestowed for
heroism.
Behind the stalwart doughboys,
their bayonets gleaming, rumbled field
artillery of every type and back of the
(runs came the divisional trains. In
the surging, swinging, rhythmetic
stream which poured down the avenue
were 25,000 men, the flower of the
American army.
Rides At Head of Line.
At the head of the five-mile line
rode the commander of all the soldiers
under the Stars and Stripes. Behind
him, as guard of honor swung "Persh
ing's Own," the composite regiment
of six-foot infantrymen who had fol
lowed him through the ftagJdecked
street of foreign capitals.
The broad avenue was banked from
the far end of Central Park to Wash
ington Square with dense masses of
humanity. Myriads waited for hours
under leaden skies, when they knew
they had no hope of seeing the pro
cession. Every window and every
roof along the way was packed with
spectators. Countless thousands stod
ti the Eastern edge of Central Park
and at least 100,000 sat in the city's
grandstand and those erected by spec
ulators. The cheapest seats were $5
but the last of them were sold hours
before the starting bugle sounded.
With the gathering of the great
host, almost before daybreak, the
scene was set for the most thrilling
and picturesque review the city ever
witnessed.
Overcome By Reception.
For General Pershing its was the cul
mination of a long, series of scenes of
adulation. He said he was over
whelmed by the reception given him
when he set foot on the shores of Man
hattan Monday, but even that paled
into insignificance compared with the
frenzied greeting that was his toc?ay.
Proud of the gallant young veterans
who marched behind him, the Com
mander rode slowly down the avenue.
The brave bronzed veterans were
worthy of all the pride their chief
could feel. Their regimental flags
had never known defeat and under
them 5,000 men had died in France.
More than 1,500 fell on the fi'eld of
Soissons and almost as many more on
the Meuse and in the Argonne. -
The grim, heartrending roll of cas
ualties is longer than the roster of the;
division.
Meets Cardinal Mercer.
As the parade passed St. Patricks
Cathedral it was unexpectedly halted
and General Pershing dismounted and
crossed to the reviewing stand where
Cardinal Mercier sat with Archbishop
Hayes and a number of other church
dignitaries. The cheering rose to a
deafening volume as the famous sol
dier clasped hands with the heroic Bel
gian prelate. y '
The Cardinal was accompanied to the
Pershing parade reviewing stand by
Brand Whitlock, American minister to
Belgium, and Mrs. Whitlock. After
tne parade had passed, the Belgian
Primate was escorted to the Pennsyl
vania station where he boarded a train
fr Baltimore at 12:23.

Organize For
A Fair Price
Raleigh, N. C, Sept. 11-With the
selection of Mr. S .G, Rubinow of the
Agricultural Extension Service, a
campaign director for the impending
drive in October for membership in
the North Carolina division of the
American Cotton Association, plans
are now rapidly taking shape for the
complete organization of the "otton
farmers i North Carolina. Mr Rub
inow is rapidly working out the de
tails for the organization, and will se
cure a corps of assistants for the
work.
It is planned to make a house i o
house and a farm to farm campaign
during the month of October, at which
time at least 70,000 members are ex
pected to be . enrolled in the Associa
tion from the cotton growing counties
of the State The local farm demon
stration agents of the Agricultural
Extension Service, and several indi
viduals and organizations have al
ready pledged their support to the
movement.
Many prominent speakers have been
invited to the State during the time
of the campaign, and' as soon as they
have given definite acceptance to these
invitations, announcements of the
places and dates of meetings will be
made.
Mr. T. B. Parker, well known farm-
er and' Director of Farmers' Institutes
in the State, will handle the speaking
program or the campaign, and, unc?er
the present arrangement, Mr. F. H.
Jeter, Agricultural Editor of the Ex
tension Service, will assist Mr. Rubi
now with the publicity work.
It is planned to make the campaign
short and intensive, with an effort be
ing made to enroll every single cotton j
farmer in North Carolina as a mem
ber of the North Carolina division.
The American Cotton Association, as
now planned, will be a permanent or
ganization with branch offices in all
of the large cotton consuming coun- j
tries of the world, and will devote its
entire energies to securing fair prices
for American grown cotton, both at
home and abroad. It has been seen
that this" is the only way in which the
movement for a fail price of cotton
can be successful, and it is hoped by
. ij.
the authorities tniat every cotwii
farmer in the State will enroll him
self as a member.
Detailed information in connection
with the work of the Association can
be had by writing to Mr. S. G. Rubi
now, State Campaign Director,

LALLEY LIGHT'S VARIOUS USES
EXEMPLIFIED AT STRICLAND'S
Mr. H. S. Deal, ditrict Lalley Light
representative, has been spending the
week in Warrenton with local dealer
W. R. Strickland in refrence to this
compact farm 'lighting and power
system.
In this connection we call attention
to the testimonials of its worth and to
the part it played during the war as
evidenced byythe advt. on page three.
In addition to these testimonials many
have come to Mr. Strickland from
Warren farmers who have installed
the system.
A unique array of its various uses
may be seen on display at Strickland s
garage. Those interested, and all
should be it seems, in providing more
home comforts will act wisely by investigating.
FIVE DEAD FROM CYCLONE
WHICH VISITED HAVANA
Havana, Sept. 10. Five persons are
.known to be dead and seyeral others
ara missing as a result cf the c clone
which swept over the city last night
flooding the greater part of the city
with huge waves from the gulf which
swept over the sea wall leaving the
streets strewn with fallen trees and
debris. The electric lighting and tel
ephone systems are badly crippled but
it is impossible as yet to estimate the
damage which is very heavy. t

DANGER IF PEOPLE FORGET
LESSONS WAR THRIFT
Saving and Thrifty Living Alone
Will Guarantee Sound Eco
nomic Future Which Must Be
Basis of Progress.
Washington, D. C, Sept 10. "The
next two months will give the answer
as to whether America won a victory
in the war or suffered a colossal de
feat," said William Mather Lewis, Di
rector of the Savings Division of the
Treasury Department,, in a message
addressed to the six million members
of the War Savings Societies through
out the United States today.
"The war cost many thousands of
priceless American lives and billions
of hard earned dollars. This treasure
was spent .in vain if the lessons taught
by the war are not put into practice
in the United States. America financ
ed her mighty war machine and' fed
the starving Allies through the thrifty
practices which our formerly spend
thrift people suddenly developed.
Thrift will win the victory in the try
ing period of reconstruction.
"But thrift is not evident at this
time, when, as President Wilson says,
'we are facing tasks more difficult,
more complex, less easily understood,
than those of war.' One of the great
est of reconstruction tasks . is to re
duce the cost of living. This menace
will not be conquered by boosting the
wages of labor. It will be handled
by allowing production to catch tip
with consumption, and this can only
be done by careful spending and elim
ination of wastefulness.
"The Federal Trade Commission has
begun an investigation of companies
promoting 'wild cat' oil stocks. Such
concerns flourish only when there is
'easy money,' when the people through
extravagance develop the get-rich-quick
germ.
"The Savings Division of the Treas
ury Department is receiving reports
from the field .indicating that pawn
shops, stock promoting concerns arid
a certain type of merchandizing
houses are reaping -a rich harvest
through the fact that owners of Lib
erty Bonds are willing to sacrifice
these securities at prices far below
the market in order to satisfy the de
sire for luxuries or to secure stock on
which they are promised an impossi
bly high rate of interest.
"If the people are not willing to
protect their personal prosperity and
the welfare of their. Government at
this critical time by practicing wise
economy, by holding on to their Liber
ty Bonds and War Savings Stamps,
and by waging an unceasing fight
against any merchant who seeks to
overcharge them if, in other words,
the thrift lessons of war are forgotten,
then we are a defeated nation and not
i victorious one."
ONE BLUE STAR, 198 GOLD
A FORM SERVICE FLAG
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. , 1. Among all
the service flags flown in America in
the past two years, one flag is unique.
Upon it burns a single star of blue;
the others are all gold, 198 of them,
i This flag hangs in th marble build
ing of the American Red Cross nation
al headquarters in Washington. The
single blue star represents the 19,877
Red Cross nurses in active duty with
the army and navy corps and the Red
Cross during the war. The gold stars
represent the Red Cross dead.
The first two were sewn on the flag
in memory of Mrs. Edith B. Ayres and
Miss Helen Burnett Wood, of Chicago,
both of whom were killed by the ex
plosion of a defective shell on the
Steamship Mongolia in May, 1917,
while on their way to France.
The last star on the flag is for Jane
A. Delano, the "Florence Nightingale
of the war," who directed the Ameri
can Red Cross Nursing Service and
sleeps today with the American dead
in the military cemetery at Savenay,
France.
The other 195 stand for nurses who
rest today in the soils of many lands
America, England, Belgium, France,
even Germany, where a white cross
marks the grave of Jesse Baldwin,
Summerville, Pa., who was cited for
extraordinary heroism when her hos
pital was shelled and later, going with
the Army of ' Occupation, ; died at
Coblenz.
WILSON ON TOUR STATES
TO WESTERN AUDIENCE
While World Waits For Leader
ship In Business and a Quick
Readjustment American Sen
ate Fritters Time Away.
On Board President Wilson's Spec
ial Train, Sept. 10. To a crowd which
surrounded his private car today at
Mandan, N. D., President Wilson de
clared a week of travel in the heart of
the country had convinced him that
the nation stands together for an in
ternational guarantee of peace.
"I am glad to get out to see the real
folks," he said. "To feel the touch of
their hands and know as I have come
to know, how the nation stands to
gether in the common purpose to com
plete what the boys did who carried
their guns with them over the'sea.
"We may think that" they finished
that job, but they will tell you they
did not; that unless we see to it that
peace" is made secure they will have
the job to do over again, and we, in
the meantime, will rest under a con
stant apprehension that we may have
to sacrifice the flower of our youth
again. " -
Address Is 'Cheered.
"The whole country has made up its
mind that that shall not happen; and
presently, after a reasonable time is
allowed for unnecessary debate, we
will get out of-this period of doubt
and unite the whole force and influ
ence of the United States to steady
the world in the lines of peace. And
it will be the proudest thing and the
finest thing that America ever did.
She was born to do these things, and
now she is going to do them."
The speech was cheered by the crowd,
which included many Indians. Then a
woman called ouO'Where is Mrs. Wil
son?" and the others took up the cry
I persistently until the first lady of the
land appeared. There were cheers for
herand the President as the train
pulled out.
At a number of "other short stops
during the day Mr. Wilson came out
cn the rear platform to shake hands,
but on the whole it was a day of rest
while his train sped westward, across
the North Dakota plains. The only
set speech during the day was at Bis
marck, the State capital, during a two
hour noon-day stop,-and for the first
time since he left Washington a week
ago there was no night address. The
Presidential special picked up a second
engine late today as it began to climb
into the. Rockies on one of the longest
continuous pulls of its ten thousand
mile journey. The next schedule stop
after Bismarck was at Billings, Mon
tana, where the.. President will speak
tomorrow morning.

renton, N. C, desire to place on record
our sense of loss and bereavement in
the passing away of our beloved fel
low member, Miss Mary Alice Jones,
who was called to rest in Paridise on
the evening of Sept. 4th, 1919.
We wish to record bur love and ad
miration for her and our appreciation
of her generous and untiring labor of
love in our midst. The influence of
her sweet and gentle personality has
been a benediction and blessing to our
Auxiliary and the entire community.
She was most zealous and faithful in
all church work, and especially so in
her choir duties. She was an indis
pensable member of the .choir and her
fine soprano voice for many, many
years, rang out in strong, clear tones
in praise and exaltation to her maker.
In her spiritual life ,she was an
humble and consecrated Christian,
"looking unto Jesus, the author and
finisher of our faith."
While we mourn with sorrow her
loss, we bow in submission to the all
wise Father's will: but rejoice that
for her
"The strife is o'er, the battle done,
The victory of life is won." 'v
Resolved, That a copy of these min
utes be sent to the bereaved family,
be spread upon the records of our
Auxiliary, . and be published in the
Carolina Churchman and the Warren
Record.
