OOb5 ANS 'THA.t POETRY BASEBALL TUESDAY one o'clock, with every indication of rain, we rolled oir blankets, packed the mess kits and plugged on down the trail. . We drove until morning. It cleared and we went to sleep in a school yard. Three hours later breakfast and good coffee put as on our feet and again we started dir ing. - We were only 47 miles from Kan sas City. The loys compared the residential portion of this great wes tern livestock and grain centre with Washington and Detroit. Its busi ness section disappointed with its narrow and uneven streets. We en joyed a great swim at the Y. M. C. A., and then called upon a girl friend we had known in New York. In the afternoon we camped near Olathe 24 miles out of the city. Heavy grass and friendly shade gave us an ideal camp site and soon after supper we wrere all asleep. Rolling fi'elds of wheat, corn, h?0 and rye were on every hand Thurs day. In the afternoon we stopped, at theEmporia Gazette ts see" its. editor and owner William Allen White. We found the author of the famed edi torial "What's the Matter With Kan sas" a genial gentlemen. We wer more, or less familiar with some of his books "A Certain Rich Man,'' "In The Heart of A Fool," "Thj; Mar tial Adventures of Henry and Me." and we found their author a real small town host. He insisted after an interview of near n hour and a personal introduction to members of the staff that we go down and "get a coke." His office walls held auto graphed photos of T-aft, several of his intimate friend Theodore Roose velt, Mark Twain, Unsle Walt Mason, and others. Mr. White explained the agony of war as stamped upon the features of Grant in a photo takn at Cold Harbor one of the most prized of the writer's collection. Leaving Emporia with a letter of introduction to Uncle Walt from his personal friend and former employer we made good time until we camped at Peabody. Mr. White's letter was addressed to the summer home of Uncle Walt in California. We are Bound there later. In Peabody we found a regular camp for tourists. We soon had beef steak smothered with onions ready for. the hungry four. This with good bread and they make the best I ever saw all through the middle West rel ishes and coffee gave us a splendkl meal. - Friday we breezed 106 miles into St John. Our former school mate awaited us and after loading with ice and things for the ranch we drove into his home 14 miles from tows. Along the roadside fields, droves, it would almost seem, of jackrabbits hopped around. The long legged, long-eared rabbits interested us. After the meal last night we rolled Kenneth Davison's car from the barn and set out to fill a'date with a school mate in Pratt. The 20 miles were soon behind us and with two of her sisters and the family she welcomed us to her home. They rolled around their Winton and Cadillac and carried us on a sightseeing tour of their rath er beautiful town. We came home for ice cream and cake, had a most pleas ant evening and left with an invita tion to return for dinner Sunday. They can expect the four of us. - This morning we were out of the sheets near 6:30. After brealrfa-. Dick Ken and I headed for the plain. Eleven jackrabbit-3 fell before our ar- Warrenton will play Weldon Friday (today) and a return game by Weldon on next Tues day is to be looked forward to " with interest. We are predicting a good game with Warrenton holding the long end of the score. tillery. There could be no excuse- for any one who has hunted the cottontail in Warren or fired away at birds in Shocco to miss the larger game. The rabbits wuld run all right-but there were no trees or bushes, to interfere with drawing a bead, and wre felled the game before 9 o'clock. We decided it was enough and came back to the house and then to the swimming hole. Tonight we are going to St. John. Ken says we will see a little of the West we had read about just a little. Every one goes to town on this night and we are looking to the experience. Our car springs are the only thing about the Ford which have annoyed. We have broken three. I think it was due to the extremely rough roads in Tennessee, but we don't expect any more trouble. Business conditions, though better than South are not what they were two years agp, and every stock man is carefully watch ing his shelves, stocking only goods for which there is demand. We are leaving tomorrow for Den ver by way of Pueblo. Many have driven through since the flood "of last month and there is no danger. Roads conditions may not be good. The gang is being well received by the papers everywhere. In, Sfe. Louis Monday we met the leading editorial writer of that Pulitzer paper and Fitzpatrick, a leading cartoonist of the country. We were shown thru '.his plant from top to bottom. All are well and happy. Remem ber n:e to my friends and tell the boys to win those ball games. P. S. I found Warrenton, Mo., in- ierestmg. The avrenton Banner was a weekly. The town was just about Warrenton, N. C, in size. They had one long street, not paved, but rood. It-was the county seat of War ren county and the shop got practi cally" all the, printing from the Court Iicuse. There was a Bank" of War ren County and a Citizens Bank. The editor told me that he hal heard of our town. He promised to give us a write up and send one home. BRING IN STILLS Officers Green, Robertson and Dep uty Vanghan brought a complete dis tiling outfit to town Saturday which they found in the basement of the home, of Harvey George near Macon. They also found whiskey (so-called), besides wine which they poured out. On Tuesday Chief Green and Deputy Faulk Alston brought in a comp-ete still from the Embro neighborhood. They found liquor and hot slops. These outfits are speaking advei tisements of the fact that thohe who will drink this concoction ire drink ing in absolute danger of theft" health." In fact it is stated by reputable phy sicians that in a short time there will be a great many cases of cancer of the stomache- among those who will patronize these unLarful peddlers and makers of so-called whiskey. WILEY HARRISS DEAD Mr. J. Wiley Harriss passed away this week and . his remains were brought to Warrenton and interred. Mr. Harriss has not been in normal health of mind and body for several years. Before he was taken sick he was looked upon by those who knew him as a crscientious and good man who worked hard and tried to do his duty. Mrs. J. D.

Protection Againft Sickness and Death By L. LOWE Red Cross Public Health Nurse There was time in the world his tory when people believed that pro tection from disease could be accom plished by --charms" and incanta tions;, by certain fixed prayers or cer emonies. Some of this belief still exists for doctors and nurses repoi that when sick babies are brought to the hospital or- clinics, they are often found wearing ja 'little bag around the neck containing a "charm" of some kind, such as i: snake skin dried and old, a tooth, or; the hind foot of some animal which the fond mother believes will keep off certain kinds of diseases. Fortunately uch beliefs as these are becoming; rare, but we still know many person who believe that disease is a mystery tHat arises from the air, the ground or from the breath of sick persons. It i Wery Jielpful to be able to feel ripw that communicable diseases are all caused by living 6i ganism which imay be seen by scien tists and whi&h may be recognize! when seen anct -because of this fact well persons may be protected from them. t:r;:- ' We do knowfthat the source of hu man diseases ire . the bodies of sick persons suffering from the diseases while some dislases like retanus, (lock jaw), rabies v and glanders usually originate in the; bodies of lower ani mals. The germs of such diseases as well as of diseases -common to man leave the body with he "liquid and solid dis charges from tjie human body and are carried directly -rom those persons through the openings into the body. The ways bys which such germs en ter the body fcfe , wounds in the skin and-the natural openings into - the body, such as Ihe -nose and mouth. The unbrokeifcskm is a protection to the body and disease germs cannot en ter through itr. - But if such germs are taken on tl a-hands of a well per son through handling' .-the excreta of a nick person and the hands of the well person are not ! oroughly cleansed b f ore -being- 2iSt.iJtheJWse;).r, mouth, then the well person is in dan ger of infection from the sick person. The thin layer of skin which pro tects the nose and mouth is much more Easily penetrated than is the skin of the body and for "this reason it is nec essary to be extremely careful in what is taken into the mouth, espec ially if disease is known to be present. Flie3 and other insects carry disease germs on their feet; if the food from the bedside is touched by these flies and other food is also infected, the re sult is a medium by which well per sons may become infected with dis ease germs from sick persons. This is particularly true of diseased if enlarged tonsils or adenoids are present for such organs absorb germs. The best possible protection for the weT person from diseases which af fect persons is Absolute Cleanliness: in the sick room, on the premises, and the body of the sick person as well as that of the well person. The "mys tery" of contagion no longer exists: the reasons for it are understood and thus it may be prevented if proper precautions are undertaken. ; - MISS NEWELL HOSTESS Miss Columbia Newell charmingly entertained a number of her friends at her home near Warrenton last Thursday night in' honor of her cous in Miss Nan Newell of Richmond. The young people arrived early and were received by Miss Newell, and from this time until a. late hour when the guests departed the enter tainment was a round of pleasure.

Laughing, talk ing, dancing-and flirting the "young people sped the happy, hours and soon were ushered into the dining room where delicious refreshments were served.Too soon came the mid night hour when' the merrymakers bid their charming hostess and honor guest good night with the assurance of an evening happily spent.

They are all hired men and play together almost six days in the week, and in consequence they have a first class team. H wever, the score was no indica tion that Warrenton did not play good ball, though she did not score, for she held South Hill, several innings with out a score. But for errors in the first inning when South Hill pushed four men over the home plate, it would have been a fine game.
