He was acting es a mess enger for the admiralty (naval headquarters), while the rest of his troops were serving as coast guards. He appeared very much interested in what the American scouts were doing, so I showed him some photographs of our boys. As I also held in my hand some photographs that I had ' .iken of the German boy scouts, I uaid: “I don’t suppose pictures ct Ger man scouts would particularly in terest you at this time.” “Like a flash bp answered, with best good humor': “Why, of course, I wouid lik 1 to see them. Alter all we are broth er scouts aren’t we?” “It was then I realized the true brotherhood of the world scout movement.” Mrs. E. D. Toll son, Mrs. J.

A SONG TO POT LIQUOR It was there, on Dixie’s tables, in the days that, lik ' a l,va:n Have drifted down Time’s River in the shadow and iii * /Jeam, The juice of gracious gardens, still its fragrant mem iry speaks Of a sturdy southern manhood and the bloom on Beauty’s cheeks. II In the cabins of the lowly, where the clay-clad chimneys rise And send the blue curling to the su 1 bev slu tieen skies In the mansions, warm with welcome, on each green loved hill and slope, It was brewed in savory blessing for a people’s strength and hope. nr There are honey-dews of llybla-Arcadian joys untold; There were feasts to please the palates of the Pagan gods of old; Their incense-clouded banquets blest with fruits from every bough— Had they dee uned of rare pot liquor there’d be gods am<> ig us now IV 0 it brings you back sweet visions of t!i * country pfaces bright, The tinkle of the corn blades, li) fields with cotton white; The mead vws crowned with clover waere the s.mheauis loved to race, The pathway to the old h >me and a J ' liar’s stnili lg face. V The old-time, glad corn-ihuckings where you had your time and chance And you met your rosy sweethearts for a lumds-round in the dance: The eountry queens in calico —you’ve k ; s :• 1 their shiny curls, The Mothers of the inen now —they w< r lav a“P >t Liq 1 r Girls!” VI Though they ward it grom their menus in the banquet halls of state Where loud plaudits ring in honor of the accents of the great; With the crystal goblets lifted—ivn n-a .Vita red, or “Mountain Dew”— When they toast our Georgia wo n -n, t o n fh >y toast “Pot Liquor,” too! VII Restore its prestige, Statesmen! it has helped your way to win; Thrill the home-halls with its praises as you legislat * d in! And tell it to the world-winds, and the stranger at voar gate: “The old Pot Liquor people gave th ■* glory to the state!” Card of Thanks.
