Of Thoughts
From Here
There, Yonder
(By W. BRODIE JONES)
The American Legionmeeting here
Monday did not draw' the men the
Executive committee had hoped, and
the meeting was forced adjourn
without accomplishing its purpose. -
The local Post which has been
chartered as a member of the Nation
al organization should receive the
membership of the service men of
Warren. The fee is nominal, the
obligation to the member non-military,
and the purpose worthy the
best thought and deep consideration
of all service men. . ;
Send your membership fee of $1.50
to Stephen E. Burroughs, Adjutant,
Warrenton, and unite for the support
of the flag in peace which you 'so
ioyally defended in time cf war.
Of course, you needn't have an au
tomobile nor a buggy nor a phona
graph nor a piano nor a telephone nor
nothing. You can live on corn pone
and turnip sallet, listen to the birds
for music and travel in a steer cart.
But you don't do that way for you
find it better to keep up with the
times its worth while. Of course we
can get along without our county
agents but progress and modern
thought and experience all unite in
demanding their retention. The com
missioners will not buck against that
combination. Warren i3 't ready
to go backward when it may go for
ward toward progress.
"All nature is but art, unknown to
thee;
All chance, direction, which thou
can not see;
All discord, harmony not understood;
All partial evil, universal good,
And, in spite of pride, in erring
reason's spite
One thing is clear, Whatever is, is
right."
Good cheer is the lighthouse of the
Sea of Liie. v . .

To the people of the county: V
As President of the Farmers Union
and of the Cotton Association of War
ren I am addressing this letter to the
public spirited farmers requesting the
exertion of their influence to retain
he services of our county agent.
This letter is written after consul
tation with numbers of progressive
agriculture men who feel that it will
be a calamity to the farm interests ot
Warren to abolish this office which is
rendering inestimatable aid to - all
farmers who will request it. Facts
on file in our agents office prove con
clusively -that the farmers of War
ren are taking advantage of his ser
vices and are receiving aid to. that
extent co-operation is manifest.
I wish also to commend the good
work being done by our home agent
and urge the people of the county to
use their influence to have this office missioners think that you want good

You;remember how the Pied Piper of Hamlin Town played a siren tune
on his pipe and lured the children away. ' The land is now full of Pied Pipers

Miss Rankin is teaching us "many
things of great' value both to us ana
our children and our people are al

by this work and now in this progres

respects than one and . c unless we

I very much hope the Commission

may continue in the good work we
have begun.

Very naturally, next year they will
