Girls Camp Closes Tuesday.

Miss Luther held her third annual
camp for the. club girls of Obion
County last week at the Union City
High School, beginning Thursday,
July s, and closing Tuesday, July
13.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
number attending this year was
smaller, the camp was splendid sue
cess. Most all of the districts were
represented. Thirty eight girls were
enrolled. The girls were very for
tunate this year in having workers
Fwho were especially trained along
their line to take charge of the work
Miss Guthrie, home economics spe-
cialist from Knoxville, had charge of
the food demonstrations; Miss Sher
man nurse from Southern Eivision of
A. r. c., had charge of the health
and exercises, Miss Musser, a Y. w.
c. A. worker from st. Louis, and Miss
Holderman, home economics teacher
in South Fulton High School, had
charge of the games and plays; Miss
Madden Jordan had charge of swim
ming, and Miss Catron, agent from
Gibson County, and Miss Veltman,
of Paris, had charge of planning and
serving meals. We were very glad
to have with us too Misses Stone,
Richards and Jones who will teach
home economy in our county this
year.
The girls enjoyed every minute of
their stay, and we wish to take this
opportunity to thank the Mayor,
Board of Aldermen and the School
Board for the use of the building,
lights, water and the swimming
pool-also to the people who were so
kind to take us riding and give us
the use of their trucks for our picnics
and visits to the different manufac-
turing plants. Such courtesies mean |
a great deal and will not be forgot

SINK OR SWIM WITH

Cox and Wilson Declare Hearty Ac.
cord on Treaty.

President Wilson, following hi
conferenc with Gov Cox, Democrat

sued the following statement:
'The interview was in every re

knew, and what Gov. Cox has let The
whole world know in his speeches
that he and l were absolutely as one
with regard to the great issue of the
League of Nations, and that he is
ready to be the champion in every
respect of the honor OF the nation
and to secure the peace of the world
Gov. Cox will have the vigorous sup
port Of an absolutely united party,
and, am confident, also of an abso-
lutely united nation"
Gov. Cox's statement said:
From every viewpoint the meet
ing was delightful. The President
was at his best, recalling any detail
inquired about as bearing upon the
international situation and enliven-
ing the whole conference with a hu-
morous anecdote now and then in
his old-time Characteristic way. We
are agreed as to the meaning and suf-
ficiency of the Democratic platform
and the duty of the party in the face
of threatened bad faith to the world
in the name of America. His thought
is still of the war and the pledges we
gave to those who made sacrifices.
One easily sees that as the leader of
the nation who asked for our sons
and our resources upon a very dis
tinct understanding and obligation,
he is resolved that the faith chall be
kept. To this his thought and life
are dedicated. What he promised, l
shall, if elected, endeavor with all
my strength to give"
Mr.. Roosevelt's statement said:
II wish that every American could
have been silent witness to t he
meeting between these two great
men. Their splendid accord and,
their high purpose are an inspira-
tion. need only add that my regret
in leaving my post under President
Wilson is softened by the knowledge
that my new commander-in-ch chief
will be his wholly worthy successor"

GIVE CROSS OF WAR
TO CHATEAU THIERRY
Americans Eulogized in the Valley Of
Victory.

Chateau-Thierry, July 1S.-Tht
battlefield of Chateau-Thierry, where
American Troops fell with the
French, was consecrated to-day by
the presentation of the Legion OF
Honor and the Croix de Guerre upon
the town of Chateau -Thierry
The decorations were given in hon
or of hill 204, where the Americans
and French under Gen. de Goutte,
with the French army of Gen. Man
gin on their left, launched their at
tacks in the second battle of the
Marne on July IS, 1918.
| Hugh C. Wallace, the American
ambassador, in thanking the French
for their tribute to American valor,
described the scene as "the valley of
victory"
The ceremony of presentation was
held on the top of hill 2O4, at the
foot of the monument erected TO the
men who fell in the battles. Country
people from miles around lined the
muddy, tortuous road, drenched by
the rainstorm, and saluted the ar
rival of Minister of War LeFevre,
Ambassador Wallace, Gems. Mangin
anu DC NOuIlC anu OlhCI nOIdDlC pei
sonages.
The storm ceased with the playing
of the "Marseillaise" and the "Star
Spangled Banner"
THE HISTORIC VILLAGE.
AS the ceremony began ray of
sunlight broke through the clouds
and fell across the village of Cha
teau-Thierry living below.
M. LeFevre paid a tribute to the
American soldiers, who, he said,
brought their youth, their enthusi-
asm and their bravery to the aid of
France and gave token of American
friendship in blood.
What the French called Franco
American ceremony" began this
morning with sF4sit of M. LeFevre
to the American cemetery in Belleau
Wood, where 5000 American dead
lie. The minister of war there placed
a bronze palm at the foot of the flag
staff which flies the American flag.
Wallace thanked the
in the name of the United
States. 1t was a simple but reveren-
tial tribute, which was witnessed by |
a. Sludll 6IOup VI
by peasants, who were headed by |
Mayor Emile Barber of the village
of Belleau.
Ambassador Wallace, in an ad-
dress, said in part:
''It is with emotion that / gaze up
on the Marine flowing through bat
tlefield where my valiant country
men, standing side by side with their
brothers of France, smote hard for
the right and spared not; fought,
suffered and died, but conquered:
1T is with solemn pride, inexpres-
sible in words, that l recall what
hey did for America, for France and
FOR the world, and my hand rises in
salute to the living and the dead as
heir dauntless spirits seem to pass
before me upon the very field of their
glory"

Golden Wedding Fee.

Columbia, Tenn, July 15.-There
is at least one wife in Maury, Coun-
ty, who after a welded experience of
48 years is worth more to her hus-
band than her original cost, most
gratifying fact in these days of plen-
tiful divorces.
A short time ago Rev. W. M Rob-
ison, well-known Cumberland Pres
byteria'n pastor was hailed by an old
man with his wife in the buggy with
him. Addressing the preacher the
traveller said: "Forty-eight years
ago you married me to this good
woman. AS mark of my apprecia-
tion here is little present for you. :"
And he handed Mr.. Robson five
dollar bill
In all his fifty years experience as
a minister nothing like this had ever
occurred.

Perth E. Pinkston and Otto D

Sergeant Bennett, the almost per-
manent fixture of the Union City
Recruiting Station, will be dis
charged within the next few weeks,
but expects to reenlist at once.
1t is not known at the present
time who is to be Benefits successor
at, the Union City Station in case the
sergeant reenlists for another branch
of the service.
The army now accepts recruits be-
tween 16 and Is years old, if phys
ically and mentally fit, and there is
no objection on the part of the par
ents.
The army schools are attracting
the recruits, and the recently in
creased pay and bonus look good to
the veterans, and it seems now that
the army will be filled up before
winter.
Sergeant Bennett presented the
editor of this paper neat booklet
the Field Artillery, and
promises to mail copy of this in
teresting booklet to any of our read
ers who write for it this week.
McGary Tanner, of Rives, was ac-
cepted for his second enlistment in
the Infantry last Tuesday and left
Union City the same day.

relatives near Troy, was visitor at
the Recruiting Station Tuesday. Mr..
Douglas and Sergeant Bennett did
their "rookie drill" together in May,

ny drew $13 every month and could
get a schooner of suds for dime.

Swat those flies.

swat tnOSe HleS.
Bubonic plague, cases of which have
recently been discovered in the gulf
states, is but one of many diseases
which may be borne into the home by
the fly, according to a physician OF
national reputation.
Modern scientific research has
demonstrated that the house fly is a
carrier of many different kinds OF
germs. Among the diseases which can
be communicated through the medium
of the housefiy the following are
enumerated:
tuberculosis. typhoid fever. scarlet
fever, the dysenteries. cholera. tetan-
US, eye contagions, anthrax. glanders,
infantile paralysis, diphtheria, men
ingitis, leprosy, bubonic plague. car
buncle, infected wounds, eryslpelas
and worms.
Every one of these scourges, so
many of which little children are Sus-
ceptible to, may be borne into the
home on the feet, legs. wings or pro-
boscis of the fly Its body. when COW
cred with bacteria, may be crushed or
drowned. and thus come into the food.
Germs swallowed by the fly go
through it's digestive organs un-
harmed.
The house1y feeds and breeds on
filth. The only radical cure for the
fly is absolute cleanness around the
home and store. it is declared.
Prevent their breeding, and hold
forth no attraction for them-these
are given as the two chief rules to
combat flies.
