The 318th and 317th regiments of

ed themselves in the Argonne Forest
battles and in other sections of the
Western front in France, have re-
turned to the United States. The

FACTS
People Need TO Know Concerninr
The Children's Home Society of
Virginia.


The Children's Home Society of
Virginia
Ten thousand of Virgina's little
children, many of them belonging
to our soldiers and sailors, are in,
unfortunate conditions, and need
hominE.
The Society was chartered Ey the
Virginia Legislature in 1900.
The Socinctl receives no aid from
the State. IL is supported entirely
by voluntary offerings.
The work is tcr-dcnominationnl,
and is worthy of the aid of every per
son.
Who would not help to save II
helpless, innocent child?
The work of this Society is supple
mentary to the work of our Orphan-
ages and other Children's lnstitut-
ions. The work does not conflict.
In round numbers, Twenty Five
Hundred (2500) little children have
been gathered up, aided or homcd.
Last year, ending May Ist, 1919,
one Thousand Six Hundred and
Forty, '1,640) were aided, handled or
homcd in one year.
The recent epidemic of influenza
is sending hundreds of mothcrlcss or
fatherless little ones to our doors.
This is II plea to you to help. The
cause is in the name of the ONE
who said, "Suffcr the little children
to come unto ME-"
Christian homes are found foi,
these children.
The Society has now over fourteen
hundred wards Q100) who belong
to it legally.

DISTILLERY is FOUND IN HEART
OF GRAHAM.

A report comes from Graham that
moonshine still located in the heart
of that town was captured last Sun
day by officer H. r. Rosenbaum, of
Graham. The still has been brought
to Tazewell and will be added TO the
collection at the Court House. The
following light on the capture of the
still is taken from the Telegraph of
Tuesday morning:
"The still was located in the attic
of manufacturing plant, where it
is thought to have been in operation
for several weeks, probably month
or longer. No suspicion whatever at
taches to those having in charge the
business of the concern where the
still was found, hut it is said that the
still was established and operated by
former employees of the place, whu
have since been discharged.
"The still was located on evidence
obtained by Chief of Police II. II. Ros-
enbaum, who captured il and yester-
day took the still to Tazcwell and
turned it over to George Mccall, Unit
ed States commissioner, together with
n complete report of the incident,
Federal warrants have been obtained
andarcsts are expected to follow, pro-
viding those guilty of operating the
plant have not skipped the country
"rhe still was in fine working order
and the apparatus consisted Of cop
per boiler that would hold about fifty
gallons. The necessary worm was
also copper and the till was built
into a large brick flue in the attic
of the building. Only corn whiskey
is understood to have been manufac-
tured, but this brand of fire water is
said to have been in evidence for sew
eral days, and no doubt this too-free
imbiding is what led to the capture of
the plant.
"Local officers have reason to be-
lieve that this is the same still that
operated under the north of East
River Mountain last spring, and that
is was being operated by the same
people.
"The board of supervisors of Taze.
we'll county have offered reward OF
fifty dollars for the capture of moon.

claim his reward, he said yesterday
