This morning early risers were greet
ed with the spectacle of what appear

foot markers, on which were the IN
scription, "Our Hero "Our PROBES

many people before the trash wagon
came around, and on that triumphant
vehicle the grusome object wal

the virtue of originality, 1t having peer
already pulled off here successfully II
the case of a defeated candidate
little more than year ago.

REMARKABLE INCIDENT
OF THE WORLD WAR

An incident of the war Which is
quite remarkable and quite out OF
the ordinary, is interestingly related
by Mrs. j. M. Smith, of Valdosta,
Ca, who is a guest at the Hotel Sta
ten.
At the time the United States en-
tered the war Mrs. Smiths sor was
a practicing attorney in valdosta, be-
ing a graduate of Vanderbilt Univer-
sity. He enlisted Immediately and
went to France as a captain. He hal
the payroll in charge one day when
he received orders to march, and
found that roll of $4,000 and a
pocketbook containing $500 and some
very important government papers
which he had on his person could MOI
be carried to a place Of safety, and
| that he would have to carry them
with him. While fording a river
shell whizzed past him frightening
his horse with the result that ne
was thrown into the water. He held
on to his $4,000 roll, but when ne
completed his journey he found that
he had lost the pocketbook containing
the $500 and the important govern
ment papers. At great risk OF lie
he returned and searched for thi
missing property, but to no avail
This occurred last October and IL

A day or so ago Ottie Eaton lost an
envelope containing war savings
stamps to the amount Of 500 and a
$50 Liberty Bond. Some one picked
up the envelope and stuffed 1t In q
rural mail delivery box, but before
doing so the Liberty Bond was taken
cut. 1t would seem that the finder
was dishonest, and, knowing that the
stamps might be traced. placed them
ir the mail box, but kept the bond
It is hoped to be able to trace the
bond, and whoever has it had better
return it, as they may get into trou-
Bile.

R. & H. SOCIAL
EVERY WEEK
Great Activities Are Being
Planned by Chemical Co.
Organization

What can anyone do i'm real hot
weather months like July and August +?
Well. for the first thing, are you a
member of the Roessler and Hass-
lacher Club? If you are the ques-
ton of what to do" is solved. The
rousing welcome" receptions held in
their rooms weekly can help make one
forget all about the hot weather.
The Roessler & Hasslacher club has
been ar active organization since the
first of April this year. The object of
the association is more han a social
club, although at the present time it
is largely social than otherwise. 1t
is for the employees of the company
n their families.
At O meeting last night an enter
tainment committee of twelve was
chosen to prepare extensive plans for
weekly socials. Something is on
schedule until the month of October.
The committee is divided into four
groups, each group consisting of three
members. These subcommittee for
mulate the social functions for its re-
spectfve week.
The extraordinary welcome accord
ed the lawn party held a week ago
yesterday has appeared to solidify
N attest the success of the others.
A good share of recognition has al
ready been afforded Mr.. Allen, vice.
president, and the entertainment COM
mittee for this venture. but no more
than should have been theirs for the
considerable amount of trouble UNDER
gone to make the social production a
success.
Holding the attention of the MEM
bers, at the end of a days work, de-
mands from the committee a quality
Of personal leadership which may
awaken a real desire to enjoy the club
rooms. There are men on this COM
mittee who have this quality. 1t is
represented by a number of men who
yelect a program and dc not skim
over the surface, hesitatinG to VEN
ture into deep waters. They plunge
in" regardless of expenses.
What the form of entertainment
will be this coming week Is unknown
but some demagogue who is glib in
The command of phrases, has aroused
}he curiosity of all the members.
Twill I be there? Well. / should say.
