AMERICAN LEGION
ORGANIZES HERE
Meeting At Dixie Theatre Last Sum
day Afternoon; Much Before
New Organization Leaders.

The meeting of the American Le-
gion, Henry County Post 8, at the
Dixie Sunday afternoon, was well
attended and the enthusiasm for
making this the best Post in the state
prevailed. F. D. Bryant was made
post commander for 1920; DIR. J. |.
Johnston, Adjutant; Harry Greer,
historian; A. L. Grubbs, sergt. at
arms; Bob Murray, athletic director.
A membership campaign was laun-
ched, which is anticipated to include
every Henry County ex-seryice man
in this organization. Membership
teams to carry on this Legion work
were chosen. They are composed OF
H. E. Forrest, capt., F. P. Pool, Will
lie Condor; T. J. Browning, capt, T.
Eaker, R. Mcfarland; DR.. J. D. Wei
don, capt, G. E. Brown, W. A. Gay
lor; A. L. Grubbs, capt, Astor Comp
ton, S. H. Cooper; J. W. Riggs, capt,
j. l.. H. Quinn, Fuqua Routon; a..
B. Fairleigh, capt, o. j. Pierce, j..
V. Estes; E. L. Littleton, capt, Paul
Smith, C. D. Melton; S. B. Doran,
capt., R. w. Routon.
The big work before the local Le-
gion at PRESENTS to procure a per-
manent record of all Henry County
boys who served in the late war. 1t
seems that there is no record in the
county of the men, who fought, who
spent weary, hard working months in
camp--no exact record even of those
who gave their lives in Democracy's
cause. The draft board returned
all their data, and there is no possible
way of preserving the county's war
record except to compile it from the
BOYS themselves or from their fami-
lies. This post is the eighth post in
the state. Other posts have been at
work on such important facts some
months. So it is the ambition of
this post to procure complete war
service record to file in the archives
of the county-for their own infor-
nation, for the pride and pleasure of
relatives and friends. They want to
know to what organization every ex-
service man in the county belonged,
how long he was in service. etc.
1t is asked that if your son, broth
er, or father served in the World
War to please report same to DR.. ].
|. Johnston, Paris, so that the legion
will be certain to include him in their
service record This is thought to be
the only method of collecting the nee
essary information, which will be.of
valued interest in future years.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all ex-soldiers and sailors in the coun-
ty to join the legion. They say to
all who wore the khaki or the navy
blue, "Come, be buddy! Do you
know how to join the Legion? Ask
buddy"
Club rooms, with reading, athletic,
and rest facilities are hoped for the
Henry County Post in the near fu-
ture. In fact, all indications are
that the local legion win be what our
Henry County beys are anywhere you
put them in civil life or on foreign
battle field, in politics or the business
world-always electrified live wires !!

Tobacco Growers Meet In Paris To
Consider Plans For Disposing
OF This Years Crop.

Tobacco buying at the barn be-
gan in Henry County this week.
Crosswy & Company and Eaker &
Company have riders in the field, and
it is understood some planters are
turning loose the weed; the average
price paid probably being about 15
cents round for leaf and lugs,
On last Saturday the tobacco
planters of Henry County to the
number of about SOC met at the
court house here to hear Mr.. f. G.
Ewing of Cedar Hill, former head of
the organized tobacco growers of the
Black Patch. Mr.. Ewing presented
a prospectus to the planters, the
purpose being the formation OF an
other association, and contemplating
the selling of tobacco on the loose
leaf-floor plan. The matter was
discussed pro and con, but en- ac-
count of charter not having been ap-
piled for, Mr.. Ewing sard pledges
could not be taken at this time but
the planters could be thinking the
matter over.
There at present exists a local or
ganization of tobacco growers of
which Don Crawford is the county
chairman, assisted by the following
district chairmen: A. P. Diggs, Robt.
Brown, j. D. Wasson, j. d. Beasley,
E. P. McFadden, Shade Brown, j. B.
Cox, j. M. Dillahunty, B. l.. Wasson,
Raymond Webb, w. R. Littleton, G.
c. Presnell, Esq. Williford, c. w.
Howard, N. B. Glover, Bud King, W.
IL. Work, Jack Moody, j. E. Paschall,
G. W. Hudson, j. W. Odom, j. w.
Killebrew, and W. r. Stube-. just
what definite action will be taken in
connection with a tobacco organiza-
tion will be subsequently determin-
ed. In the meantime the matter is
being discussed in detail by the to-
bacco growers.
According to NJ. Ewing, there is
no occasion for the low prices being
offered for tobacco at this time, ex-
cept a determination not to pay the
higher price by the tobacco buyers.
He said he doubted the financial
stringency of the Italian government
and assured local growers that this
country could finance them if they
really wanted to buy the tobacco at
fair prices.
Many growers present at the meet
ing openly determined to hold their
tobacco for price that would be
more in keeping with the cost Of pro-
duction, and others declared that they
would reduce the acreage this year.
This, however, seems to be general
as only small percent of the num-
ber of plant beds have been thus far
burned as compared with last year.

Aurora Borealis Excites Interest
Here When Skies Are Electrified

For the second time in 30 years,
Aurora Borealis, the beautiful Nor
thern Lights came out to play on
Monday night and was discernable
here for several hours prior to mid
night, being the most brilliant about
nine thirty. The entire neighbor
hood craned its neck to the heavens
zenith to watch Aurora cut capers
across the sky. Some persons who
were not cognizant of the appearance
of the Northern Lights on March Z,
1918, thought that farmers burning
plant beds caused the rosy hue in the
sky, but were unable to explain the
flashing streamers Of light, which IL
umined the heavens.

planned electrical disturbance fire.

converge in strong rose light, it

Its appearance Monday night,
caused a partial paralysis of tele-

for two hours messages were trans

that the Aurora is an electrical phe.

The desirability of packing farm
products in clean, sound containers

$3.50 recently suffered by producer
in connection with a single shipment
of butter, say specialists of the Bureau
of Markets, United States Department
of Agriculture.
This farmer shipped in barrels I'M

Because of the dark gray color of the
barrels, which suggested packing stock
butter, the receiver was unable to in
terest buyers in the commodity. Re
alizing that he would be unable to sell
it at all in that condition, he sailed
and revoked the butter and then
packed it in butter tubs. Although
the butter had deteriorated in quality
by this time, the appearance of the
packages commanded the attention of
buyers and the butter was promptly
sold. The loss to the shipper was

Early Fall Millinery

The vogue for embroidery in WON
ems hats continues, according to the
Bulletin of the Retail Millinery Asso-
citation of America, and many of the
new fall models show the profuse of
metallic and worsted embroidery. Os-
trich tips are favored for trimming
and duvetyn and brocade are much
in evidence at all the manufacturers.
1t goes on.
"a smart hat included in the early
fall display OF. one of the manufac-
turers had crow of embroidered
haircloth and a brim of brown duve-
tyn. Peacock feathers, embroidered
old blue silk and gold thread covered
the round crown and the brim OF
duvetyn rolled up off the face. Small
brown ostrich tips circled the edge OF
the brim.
Navy blue and gold brocade were
combined with taffeta to make a gay
continental Taffeta was used for the
round crown and the inside of the brim
had facing of taffeta. A flare of bro
cade formed each side of the upturned
brim and a band of MORE formed the
center. Two long blue pins pierced
the fold of the MORE at the front of
the brim.
A striking hat shown by one of the
wholesale houses had round full

$3.50 on the entire Shipments loss
that would have been avoided in the
first place had the shipper packed the
butter properly, and loss that would
have been even greater had not the re-
ceiver done so.
The same principle applies to eggs,
beans, or any other commodity, say
the bureaus experts. If the packages
present an inviting appearance, the
sale is half made; for good-looking
packages suggests contents of high
quality.
Another illustration given by the
Bureau of Markets is that of coun-
try creamery that forwarded a Stub
sample shipment of butter to a COM
mission firm and received an offer
for future shipment. In the mex:
shipment the creamery used second
hand tubs instead of bright, new,
clean, attractive packages, such as
were used in the Stub sample. Al
though the butter shipped was uniform
in quality and scored 90 points, the
commission firm was unable to dispose
of it as "extras," and the shipper
was compelled to take a loss of 2
cents a pound on the shipment.

atty of the treaty act. In suit
brought by the State of Missouri
against federal game warden the
Supreme Court held that the federal
game laws were enforceable in State
whose game laws conflicted with the
treaty act.
The court defined the situation in
the following paragraph taken from
the opinion
Here national interest of very
nearly the first magnitude is involved
1t can be protected only by national
action in concert with that of another
power The subject matter is only
transitorily within the State and has
no permanent habitat therein. But
for the treaty and the statute there
soon might be no birds for any powers
to deal with. We see nothing in the
constitution that compels the Govern
ment to sit by while food supply is
cut off and the protectors of our for
ests and our crops are destroyed. 1t
is not sufficient to rely upon the
States. The reliance is vain, and were
it otherwise the question is that the
treaty and statute must be upheld.

many people, do love to sit on the

out on the lawn, too. These could be
stenciled very easily with a pattern
to match the cretonne chosen
A big wall pocket made after the
pattern of the usual shoe bag, but
made of oilcloth, would be an ideal
place in which to slip books, maya
zines and sewing, so if they were for
gotten over night it wouldn't matter.
And while you are stenciling, be sure
and buy several big flower pots and
bean pot or two, give them coat Of
paint and a row of decoration around
the top. The pots are to be used for
the usual porch plants that everyone
has sitting about the rail, and the
big pots are just the thing for the

country. They are so heavy that
there is small danger of the wind up
setting them.

The "Play Mother"
and the Child
Many a Parent Is Too Interested In
Household or Other Work to Bother

A woman who overheard her small
daughter discussing mothers with
her playmates was gratified to hear
her triumphantly conclude the argu-
ment with the words, "Well, your
mother isn't such play mother as
mine!" Being a play mother" evi-
IDENTIFY meant one who did not permit
household duties to crowd out com
partnership with her children. The
"play mother had not known before
how fully her efforts were appreciated.
Grown people sometimes fail to
realize how children delight in their
companionship. Every mother should
employ care and insight as well as
love for her child when she selects
his occupations. Give an eager de-
sire to enter the childs world, he will
welcome her with countless sugges-
tions. It is often the mothers privi-
Iege to modify these ideas, to make
a quiet occupation more attractive
