]. ". VANNOY RETURNS FROM
AN EXTENDED EASTERN TRIP
Visits Old Home After Absence of
Forty Years. War Affect
ing All Industries

After an absence of a month dur
ing which time he visited Boston and
eastern and southern states J. w.
Vannoy returned last week
He gained personal knowledge
of an eastern winter as throughout
his trip he was in the center of the
worst storms that have visited those
sections in years.
The most interesting incident of
his trip was his visit to his old home
In Louisville, Kentucky, where lives
sister whom he had not seen for
forty years.
1t was natural that the recogni-
tion of the long absent brother was
not instant but through the relating
of many family incidents light dawn
ed upon the sister and the reunion
was an affecting one.
In common with all who have
visited the larger cities he declares
that we do not realize the serious
ness of the war conditions, as these
places are hives of activity and near
ly every line of business has some
connection with the Great Cause.
He considers it inevitable that
eventually this knowledge will be
brought home to us through condi-
tions that will of necessity affect
prices of food stuffs and all the COM
modities that enter into our lives
