A Family Reunion.

One of the most notable
events of the holiday season
was a family reunion at the
home of Mr.. E. j. Bartel, in the
Camille country, over in the east
ern part of the county.
The guests began arriving on
the twenty-second of December,
and on Christmas day there
were present thirty-four adults
and children.
Everyone came prepared with
delicacies, and when dinner was
served in the afternoon, a long
table that reached far into the
middle of the living room fairly
groaned with toothsome dain-
ties and good substantials to
which all present did full JUS
tice.
For the young folks enter
tainment was provided in the
form of a branch of mistletoe,
suspended from the ceiling, be-
meath which many a maiden was
trapped; and a beautiful Christ
mas tree was laden with ap-
Ipropriate presents.
Santa Claus was a bit late in
arriving, but he got there some
time after dinner; and to
tighten his work and hasten
delivery of the many presents
he was assisted by Mrs, A. l..
Bartel, and finally the presents
were distributed to those for
whom intended.
In the evening all gathered
around the fireplace; and
plantation songs, old time bal
lads, and recitations appropriate
to the Christmas time were
rendered by various members
of the party, all of which were
gratifying and interesting de-
tails of the entertainment.
Those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. E. J. Bartel, Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee Parker and family of four
children, Mr.. and Mrs. T. B.
Titus, Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Bar
tell, Miss Grace Bartell, Miss
Mildred Mcfarland, Mrs. D.

To a stable cold
In the days of yore
Came there travellers old
From a distant shore.
Coming from the east
Happy kings were they
Nothing in the least
Tearing on the way
Ger the open plain
Through the covered glen
Facing win | AMI rain
Passed these holy men.
To a city small
Rode they from afar
Guided to its wall
By a lonely star.
Soon they saw it rest
Der a stable mean
Joyful in their quest
fastened to the scene.
Passing at the door
What did they behold
Only a child poor
Shivering in the cold.
Placed in a manger
By its mother dear
Who over the stranger
Fondly watches near.
Kneeling by his spouse
Was a holy man
Father of this house
With his little clan.
In a corner bare
Beasts of burden lay
With a gloomy stare
Waiting for the day.
Now the three draw near
To the child in sleep
With reverence and fear
Kiss His little feet.
0 moment blest
For these happy kings
Who with the rest
Utter holy things.
o thou infant boy
Who this day was born
Grant me endless joy
On the dreadful morn.

Absolute power to control food

This was learned here late today

the presidents desire for speedy ac-

the delay was doing harm TO the

is for a country wide food survey. for
which the government now has the
machinery.

have not walked up TO the vital neces-

Dwelling on the need for early en-
actment OF the food laws, Chairman
Lever said information given to him
h- experts showed that from Janu-

prices OF fifty food staples had in

Rumors That Proposals Arc To he
Made BY Germany Reach Wash
ington, But No Separate Terms
Would BE Accepted.
STOPPING U-BOATS NOW

Question Is Graver and Deeper Than
Protection of America, For Being
Joined With Allies Only Victory Can
Bring War To Close.

Washington. May I0.--The United
States will not conclude a separate
peace with Germany. Even should the
Berlin government offer terms accept
able to this country there will he no
action unless it were taken Jointly
with the entente allies.
America was committed to this
policy by the state department this
afternoon. The announcement result
ed because of widespread reports dur
ing the last few days that Germany
contemplated a peace proposition to
this country. Cable dispatches from
Europe this afternoon further indi-
Gated that the imperial German gov
ernragrlt was about to make another
statement OF terms.
The state department made fiat de-
NAL OF reports that proposals from
Berlin had already reached this gov
eminent.
Secretary OF state Lansing declared
that nothing whatever had been
heard through any channel or from
any source.
Oner Now Is Too Late.
Whereas in February this govern
ment would have accepted a disco.

Germany as a sufficient concession to
avoid a break in relations 1t was de-
clared today that even should Ger
many withdraw evesy C-boat she has
from the ocean 1t would not lead this
nation to listen to her peace proposals
now. The question is graver and
deeper: and the department would not
make known the terms 1t has in mind
for what peace must be when it comes
1t is known, however, that the aims
and purposes OF the administration
are drafted on the lines laid down by
President Wilson in his war address
to congress. The extension OF demo-
cratic government and guarantees I'M

safe from the keystone of this post

The governments determination not
to conclude Il separate peace has been
buttressed as result of the confer
ences here with the French and Brit
ish missions, It was indicated in official
circles. This does not mean the ad-
ministration contemplates making this
nation a signatory to the joint agree
