Those Who Went :
The John White Camp of Warren
county was well represented at At

the city of the South was warm in its
welcome to the wearers of the gray
and loyal and true to the best tradi
tions of southern hospitality .in giv
ing loving expression to the heart
music of the entire South in honor of
the heroes of the Lost Cause.

John W. Allen Expresses Thanks
First of all in behalf of the 25 old
veterans of Warren county that at
tended the Southern Reunion at At
lanta, I as commander, of the John
White Camp wish to thank our Board
of County Commissioners for their
kidness in aiding so many of us to at
tend the Re-union, without which aia
but few could have gone. Gentlemen,
we appreciate the kidness which was
much enjoyed.
We boarded the train at Warren
A LCi.LA.lO 41 J- IVIV Jm 111 lUVllUajf y t .
rived in Atlanta 10 o'clock-ai m. Tues
qday. There we found the crowa
waiting for us by the thousands in a
mighty city. I heard a man say, "I
have been to New York and this is
more like it than anywhere I have
been since."
There was more real' personal at
tention paid generally to us than any
Re-union I have ever attended. The
Red Cress was fully on the job and so
was the Boy Scouts, which was very
much appreciated ana enjoyed by the
old Veterans. I must not fail to men
tion another fine treat to us: the great
number of automobiles that were
furnished and took us to ride over the
city, most of wich cars were driven
by ladies who "were ever as kind to us
as they could have been to have known"
us like home folks.
It was the verdict of my company of
25 that I carried from this 'county,
that they have never enjoyed a Re
union any more than this one. Atlan
ta went over the top.
IERCIER THANKS RED

of Belgium the men who stood up

city to call at the national headquar
ters of the American Red Cross, and
went there in a driving rain to thank
the Red Cross for what it had done in

"In behalf of my people," said the
peat churchman, very simply, stand
ing before the service flag of-the Red
ross nurses who gave their lives iu
the war.
'During sorrowful , years in my
stricken country I came to know the
Quality of your work. I know what
you did for the wounded and sick. ; I
know also what you did for their fam
ines. I understand your great organ
ization is developing into a permanent
institution of help to humanity in this
country. I shall tell my pe0ple that,

The Three
Things Needed
The following letter to the Peck
Manufacturing Co., of this city, forms
interesting reading. , It is & pleasure
to pass its message to the public Ed
itor. . , ' ,
Dear Sirs:
The three partners, if reconstruc
tion is to be successfully carried out
in the commercial worldf will be Cap
ital, Labour and Brains.
Practical men of affairs, anxious to
obtain the best results, have learned
to regard 1 abour as what it is a part
ner in industry, but if labor is to
maintain its title to rank as a part
ner it must act as a partner. It must
contribute its share gladly and fully
and only upon this condition will it be
entitled to a full share of the results
achieved.
The second partner is Capital. Every
man who saves instead of spending,
who works today and postpones en
joyment until tomorrow adds to tha
apparatus by which labour increases
its efficiency.
The third partner is Brains. For
the great operations of modern in
dustry the best brains of the country
are required. Brains, therefore, rank
with Capital and Labour as a partner.
These are the filler aspects of pro
gress but behind them, lies economic
progres, and upon this economic pro
gress depends the capacity of the
three partners of industry. Their
future depends upon the recognition
by each of them of-their mutual de
pendence and their common interest.
The permance of our industrial in-
stitutionsis being tested in the fire of
experience.
Perhaps from the present period of
strikes arid unrest labour will emerge
in a mood to assume its position in the
triple partnership outlined above.
Very truly yours,
. H. HENTZ & CO.
. The above is a. digest' of an impres
sive article on the labour situation in
a recent issue of the London Times,
together with, , some , thoughts of , our
own. Its. application- to the crisis
through which we are now passing is
so trite, that we are passing it on to
our friends.
A WELFARE CREED
(Richard Morse)
We believe that true religion is a
matter of purpose. We believe that
the purpose of Jeus was to bring in
what He called the Kingdom of God,
the time when all men shall live to
gether as brothers in justice, right
eousness, love, and unselfiish service.
We believe that the object of the
Christian Church in general is to fur
ther this purpose in the world, and the
object of the church in this commun
ity is to further this purpose in this
community and in this state in every
possible way. ,
This church offers you therefore a
religion of co-operation. If you want
to serve your fellow men come put
your shoulder beside ours this com
munity. ,
We will begin in practical ways to
make ihis community clean and happy
and democratic. We will work with
our school teachers, we wil work with
our county officials, we will work with

A Call For N
Census Takers
The Director ' of the Census, Hon.
Sam L. Rogers, announces that 80,000
enumerators will be need to take the
next census, rne worK Degins . on
a mi i
January 2 and will last about two
weeks in cities, and a month or more
in rural districts. Rates of pay will
vary, depending upon the locality' and
character of the 'district to be can
vassed. The average nay ner enum
erator ,. at the census of 1910 was
about $70. At this potnins' pptirhs it
will nrohn.h1v rnnt than KUK.
- I
Active, lntellie-ent: and reliable
men and women, not less than' 18
years of age, are needed for this
task," said Director Rogers, and, in
a sense, this is a call for ' volunteers.
The importance of a complete and
reliable census, especially in these crxc-
ical times when more than ever before
perhaps we need complete data re-
i
garoing population, conditions, tend-

over emphasized. The reorganization
of the social and economic structure
relations necessitated by the War
must be based on accurate knowledge
if we are to act wisely and deal justly
with all classes and all interests. It
is hoped therefore, that public-spirit-
ed energetic people throughout the
country will volunteer to act as cen-
sus enumerators even though they
may not care for the positions so far

BUTTERMILK IS MADE WILD
AFTER DAYS IN THE SUN
"The Sun makes Buttermilk wild
and alcoholic." This was the discov-1
ery made by a widely known expert
chemist in Washington, D. C. and re
cently reported to the committee ap
pointed by the Government, to make
an investigation, and test of all ex-
jisting beverages of a stimulating na
ture.
The great .Washington D. C. chem
ist reports that buttermilk exposed to
Sun rays for a period of thirty days
will cause "unpasteurized" buttermilk
to explode with the force of T. N. T.
explosive.'
The government is now conducting
an investigation of how much alcohol
is contained to the gallon of "unpas
teurized", milk after exposure to sun
rdys for. many days. The "Butter
milk" has been, found in some in
stances to be intoxicating, and to con
tain 10 to 15 per cent pure alcohol.
The Committee in making their re
port to the Government announced:
"Its worse and stronger than old War
ren county peach brandy" said the
chairman of the committee " To
think that innocent buttermilk fun
pasteurized' when exposed to sun rays
for many hours develops a high kick'
equal to superior old Warren county
peach brandy is a most remakable dis
covery." Warnings gainst the use or hav
ing in. "his" or "her" possession "un
pasteurized" buttermilk maybe ex
pected to be issued soon by the "Great
Prohibition League." Written for
