Yellovsi'.ne held us as a wonder mecca. Ii geysers, hot springs, col ored pools, rustic hotels could only- be je;:erUtd with an adjective bombard ment. We were fortunate to meet a oToup oi givls from Chicago and with thelll enjoyed uanemj ml uie. iioiei it was free. The Grand Canyon of the Yellow none is the best sermon I ever saw. It would seem that God, the Ai'tist of the Ages, moulded through Time a divine Masterpiece. This beauty spot a veritalile chasm stretches for miles through spruce and pine forests. The Yellowstone river, white-capped in vapid fury curves onward to the sea, From the water's edge Nature's coloring starts. The earthy hues "of the rainbow blended over the rugged stone formations grip one and the Soul is enthralled. A mile up the river tumbles more than three hun dred feet in foaming falls, then iUii'thrr stiv-Uh of a mile and another real plunge. From Inspiration point (M wonders if it can be real, and thinks there could be no more beauti ful view. A trip to Artist Point con vinces that this is erronious. We spent hours at its brink and later walked to the Falls to gain other im pressions. We are told that the Grant Canyon of the Colorado in Arizona more wonderful. It cannot be; it may he longer, but the tints, . shades and blends of Yellowstone coloring will always come to mind when beauty is mentioned. Oh, how I wished for you, mother and the family and then for my friends. Always an element uf sadness creeps when I realize wha. of sadness creeps when I realize what day these things may be nearer us all Just the day before I had walked anion? boiline: springs. Fissures everywhere bubled water which form ed pools some emerald, some golden. some shaped as Morning Glories or 'inked with the name- of Three Sis ters. Water sputtered under1 our feet, and impressed tourists wander ing around, even as we, exclaiming Isn't it wonderful." At Yellowstone Lake one of the ?arty stood on the crater of a boiling 'pfing and fished. Trout caught in lake can be cooked in a few mo ments without removing them from the ' line. At regular intervals these Water Edge Geysers hurl steaming contents upward to' fall', a moment 'ater in the chilled waters of the lake ted from the snow capped mountains ieh cradle it. : ' '.. There are many other . things of ffiiich I could write the novelty of Old Faithful Inn, where every idea of construction is rustic; the nobby ship- lke apjjarnce of the Canyon Hotel; the beauty of the massive mountain Jlf:e; hot snrine-s and their colorings Manioth, and on and on.

Winter, but now a city. "Tourists are liere" from every where and the modern hotels, luxur ous and toney hold the fat and pros perous from New York arid others not so fat and prosperous possibly from other sections. The mountains seem to be front porch sentinels. The tovn rests in v mountain basin, around the outskirts a river whips into foam as it cascades over falls. Snowy peaks, often fring ed with cloud rear thousands of feet, and tourists cars romp from, one point of interest to added thrills at another. The town now boasts its annual pow wow. Four hundred Redskins camp ed near held today a tournament with a regular war-paint parade preceding it. Tonight they held a war danc down town. Tomorrow will be given to similar amusements and at night they return to the Reservation. We are-leaving in themorning for Lake Louise, 40 miles away. We are then going into British Columbia through Seattle, the Rockies are im passible West of Lake Louise. After Vancouver we drop to Portland, Ore gon and to San Francisco. It rained last night and tonight, but we are hospitably entertained by a good birth in a farmer's barn just two hundred yards from the finest hotel here. Free Scholarship For Some Ambitious Boy In a letter to County Superintend ent of Schools, J. Edward Allen, Mr. E. B. Owen, Registrar North Caro. lina State College of Agriculture and Engineering state that Warren coun ty "is entitled to 2 scholarships giv ing -free tutition. Of these 1 can be used by students in the Agricultural course and 1 in the other courses. It has occured to me that you mak know of some deserving boy in your county who should take advantage of this opportunity to get a good technicle education free of cost' as far as tui tion is concerned. This is a fine op portuity and should not go unused. I trust that you will give some pub licity to this matter if you have no one in mind and. find young men to take the scholarships. "I enclosed you a blank applica tion, and I shall be glad to send as much other printed material about the College as may be desired." rf nnv vouner Warren county man is interested in these scholarships he is asked to get in touch with Super intendent Allen MISS NEWELL HOSTESS Mis Columbia Newell delightful ly nfrtamed a few of her Warren- ton friends Saturday evening. Danc ing and other amusements were en until the late hour, at which the guest departed for their homes after a very delightful evening.

" ' t3 WARREN BAPTIST S. S. CONVENTION The Warren County Baptist Sun day School Union met at Macon last Sunday with a full attendance and n program full of enthusiasm. The morning session began with an at tendance that packed the churchy and .interest grew as the sessions pro gressed, until the very close when it was voted to hold the next session at Sulphur Springs Church on October 30, 1921. All of the officers were present and all of the fourteen Baptist Sunday schools in the county except two were represented, as well as several others nearby, outside the county. Warren- ton had the largest delegation. It was announced that at the next meet ing special recognition would be given to the Sunday School making the best report, and also to the Sunday School having the greatest attendance at the meeting. The addresses to the convention were all of a high order. It was re- gretted that one of the invited speak ers was detained by a bereavement in his family, but those who wire present were thoroughly prepared, and made most interesting addresses and talks. Dr. T. j J .'Taylor spoke of "Teacher Training in Warren County Sunday Schools;" Mr. Forrest G. Miles, on "The Sunday School in Character Building;" and Miss Virgie Rodwell, cn -.'Prayer in Sunday School Work.' In the afternoon, Rev. E. R. Nelson spoke on "Teaching Adults;" Mr. N. B. Weldon,- on "Relation of . Church and Sunday School," and Mr. J. Willie White, on "Building Up a Rural Sun day School." The music was a very pleasing feature throughout the meet ing'. J. Edward Allen presided over the sessions, Jesse Gardner was sec retary, and N. B. Weldon treasurer. DEATH OF JOSEPH CROWDER The passing from earthly activities of Joseph Jones Crowder brings sad ness to many. Mr. Crowder was a citizen who made fiends and held them because of the rectitude of hU conduct and the quietude of " his de meanor. He was a gentleman who was happiest when at his home look ing after his affairs and with his family. When away from home it was generally on business and when that business was transacted he loit ered not upon the streets, but return ed to his own vine and fig tree. He, was interested in schools and served acceptably many years as Committeeman for his District. ' He was bom 13th October, 1870, son of Stephen L. Crowder and Nan nie Gilliland, being one of four sons and two daughters; his brothers sur viving him being Messrs. George Henry and Rom. Crowder; his sisters Mrs. Hicks and Mrs. Holloway also surviving him. In early manhood he married Miss Sallie Bet. Watkins and to them were born two boys and a girl, who with their .mother and his aged father and brothers and sistes mourn his untime ly death. Mr. Crowder passed away Monday afternoon about 7:30 o'clock after a' malignant attack of typhoid fever. Every attention that a skilled physi cian and a trained nurse and loved ones could bestow were unstintedly given, but his spirit passed from its frail tenament and awaits the final resurrection of the body in that land where there is no sickness nor sorrow nor parting. His body was laid away in Ridge way cemetery after services in the Episcopal church by Rev. Francis Joyner of Littleton. Friends from Henderson and all parts of the county and a large num ber of his neighbors attested by their presence their esteem and respect. The following, were active Pall bearers: J. E. Holloway, W. C. Ma bry, H. H. Grant, Edward Petar, Alex Baxter and S. E. Mabry. The honorary pall bearers were: a. H. Paschall, J. A. Dowtin, B. B. Wil liams, Howard F. Jones, Charlie Bur ton, Dr. D. Smith, Mr. Cooper and Mr. W. B. Gholson, Mr. Spain, W. B. Daniel, I. M. Green, J. M. Holloway, M. B. White and O. A. Rose. A good man has gone from amon :us; may his influence live forever. Mrs A. E. Jones has returned from a visit to Baltimore. Mr. Martin Davis has returned a visit to Wilmington. Mrs. Edmund White is spending the , week-end with her sister Mrs. Buck Baskerville of '-'Red Lawn," Va. C FRIDAY, AUGUST - 1921 MICICIE SAYS: FHEaFARMER AND HIS OWN MARKET The Nev? York World. " ' .. Whether the farmers can or cannot get a full measure of profit on their products in the future depends, ac cording pto Aaron Shapiro, leader of the co-pperative movement among California growers, on their ability to organize for marketing. "The grower -alone," in his opinion, "can make his', receipts go up or down. It is his own fault that during the last ten years the capital invested in ag riculture has paid only 2 per cent. Interest as against 24 per cent, in industry: Blind and unintelligent are the only two adjectives that can be applied to his . present system, of mar-, keting. ;:' ,:. - ., . ... -Tliis W -sound- - sense-; ;. Farmers havt; everywhere spent increasing pains during the last decade in bet tering methods of production,, but .in few sections has there been an ap preciation of the necessity of organ izing for the distribution of what they produce. They have harvested individually andmarketed individually, with the result that a large propor tion of every bumper crop, goes to waste or is used as stock food, while the buying public faces alternate glut and scarcity. In such circum stances the farm is not a paying pro position. The farmers have discov ered that fact and have protested vigorously, laying the blame largely on the middlemen. But the middle man naturally looks out for his own interest; he can't be expected to act as guardian for the producers. They must learn to handle . their own wholesale business if the arable, land of the country is not to accumulate"-' an even heavier burden of mortages than it now bears. Co-operation is not a simple mat ter, but it is possible, as the Wes tern fruft growers have proved. What has ben done in the case of this one perishable crop can be done with others. If ,it teaches the far mers to work together, the slump in their business will not be without its value. . - - MISS SCOGGIN' HOSTESS Miss Lucy Palmer Scbggin charm ingly entertained a number of her young friends at her home in South Warrenton Friday night in honor of her friend Miss Annie Howe House of Weldon. The young people arrived early and the house was the scene of -a talking, laughting , throng of .young people. Engagement cards were issued and soon all were participa ting in progressive conversation In this contest the honor guest, Miss House was voted the best conversa tionalist, having conversed best on all subjects given on her , engagement card. After this the guest enjoyed several parlor games until the late hour at which they departed. Deli cious refresments were enjoyed. Surveyors Here A survey party of the Highway Commissioner arrived in Warrenton yesterday and started to work. They will be in the county the month of August, placing State roads. . . ,1 NSMM E.WvtAx SOU- OUtA"tW PJXTCR AVtf WSJ rt " A V -TUcwea4. Aval -rvO feoosftuC '' . " " - """ . " "MtS A NEW AND VAL UED CONNECTION It is with pleasure that this paper announces that Warrenton has formed-a new and valued connection with the western end of the county.. The Warrenton Railroad, private contri butions from citizens of this town, the Cress Manufacturing Company and the Board of County Commissioners have donated to a general purpose that will, mean much to Warrenton. For years Warrenton has suffered in the fact that citizens from Warren L county's western border, including parts of Shocco and Sandy Creek township could not haul produce to and fertilizer from Warrenton because the road crossing the valley in whicn Shocco creek flows was almost im passable. This, new road, along the State survey will be of great service, and in addition will shorten the road from Warrenton to Raleigh several miles and avoid the railway crossings. 'The Board of Commissioners' contri bution was to a bridge over Shocco creels - - - - - We understand that the Cress Manufacturing Company ' will make Warrenton their headquarters for dis tribution of their manufactured tim ber, adding much to the freight re ceipts of the Warrenton Railroad and therefore to the Town's revenue, and that they will.be able to supply their needs here from the town's mer chants. It. occurs to us aVo, that possibly an ai'rangement' might be made by which they could haul the bulk of the fertilizers needed by th; farmers of the townships through which this highway .passes. We understand that the bridge over Shocco will be an eighteen foot, double track bridge in accordance with specifications approved by Stau. Highway engineers. Great Day For The Babies of Warren Co. i?jfokday wis.''. h "gifeaC day for War ren county babies. On this day a bet ter baby clinic was held by the Red Cross in the. club rooms of the mili tary company. Here 32 babies were given advantage of a thorough physi cal examination by a capable special ist, and here 32 mothers received ad vice that means much in the lives of these future citizens of Warren. Dr. Root conducted his examina tions with., a thoroughness and ixt a manner so competent that witnesses are not surprised that he has reached the envible position of North Caro lina's fremost baby specialist. War ren county is indeed fortunate to have the services . of . Dr. Root. On account of the extremely warm weather not as many babies were present as was hoped for, yet the Red Cross had a full day's work. Miss L. Lowe, County Red Cross ,Nurse, -states that the only regret able fpart- of the clinic was that so many Warren county babies in need of expert examination were not pres ent, and that it was sad to think that many mothers denied their babie3 this opportunity through fear of possible defects. But she was pleased that many brothers did bring then babies. Warren county has gained from the clinic and the Red-Cross has endear ed itself the more in the hearts of the mothers. INCREASE AUTHORIZED Captain' ' Stephen Burroughs of Company B, 1st Infantry N. C. N. G., has received instructions from the Government that recruiting to a max imum strength of ninety-three men to the Company will" be allowed.

A splendid gymnas ium, shower baths, reading rooms, pool room and all the things for in nocent amusement are free to the re cruit.

Number .31 UJ 2 BOOZE OUTEITS MAKE RAID IN SHOCCO TOWNSHIP MONDAY Lee Pendergrass Arrested Af t er Home Had Been Search by Of ficers and Liquor Found. Is Bound Over to Court, fi Last Friday Officers Green and Robertson and Deputy Faulk Alston left Warrenton for Shocco township in search of a still they suspected tj be in that neighborhood. They found loo gallons of beer on plantation of Mr. J. B. Davis. Estimating that the beer would be ready to run Sun day night, and anxious to capture the distillers, the officers returned to Warrenton. Twelve thirty Monday mornhij, found the officers on their way to the location of tle beer. Parking the car near they walked to this. Upon their apporach they heard what they thought to be a, signal, then a dog barked. After a few minutes of sil ence Chief Green and Deputy Robert son crept forward, leaving Faulk Alston to watch. They were too late. They found the distiller had made the liquor. The supposed signal was someone driving the stopper . in the rivulet. The officers returned to the car and waited the approach of dawn. They then drove to the home of Lee Pendergrass. Tracks led from the house in the direction of the still. Waking Pendergrass, they proceed ed to search his house. Lifting a plank in the floor the officers found a five gallon keg and several vessels filled with "white lightning." Lee Pendergrass was placed under ar rest and going to the location where the beer was seen a, search was made for the still. They found the old fashioned tin tub outfit, and came to town. The officers feeling satisfied that the captured still was not the one in which the liquor was made the night before decided to go back to the woods and make another search. Deputy Faulk Alston and Deputy Robertson drove out and after a search found a spleidid outfit with a copper cap and worm. Evidently the still had been running for a short time only as the officers found the location where the still was. made. Lee Pendergrass was given a hear ing before Justice John W.
