touching tribute to the memory
those who were not there—of
who gave their lives in the
war—was paid at the Armi-

not by any means a solemn oc
but the men paused in their

of contemplation of the

Major James A. Fort, who
at the banquet table, spoke
few words for the fallen ones
Following were Major Fort’s
in part:
“Todqy as we celebrate the win
of the war it is right that w<
of our soldiers who gave their
that we may call this Victory
With honor and faith and

MACON, Nov. 12.—Members of
the Macon police department volun
tarily gave up their union cards, last
night, gave their funds to the Salva
tion Army and declared themselves
free from the American Federation
of Labor. The vote to deunionize
was said to have been unanimous.
There are more than seventy mem
bers of the police force.
“There has been no pressure
brought to bear upon the men of the
department to bring about deunion
ization,” said a statement from the
committee named by the policemen's
union to make the announcement.
“The action is absolutely voluntary I
on our part.
“It is brought about from the fact
that some of the movements of la
bor among the American people have
concerned the fundamental princi
ples of our government. We do this
believing that it will meet with the
approval of the public, and the action
is unanimous on the part of our sev-
■nty-two men on the force.**
It was announced that all of the
■quipment of the American Federa
tion of Labor held by Policemen’s lo-
val union No. 1, as the organization
was known in labor circles, will be
returned at once to W. A. McKenna,
the organizer of the policemen’s
union.
In defending the purpose of de
unionization the committee stated.
“We could not serve our organiza
tion and the government at the same
time. We owe our allegiance to the
government first.
“We ask the ca-operation of the
public in assisting to raise the mor
ale of the police department of the
city of Macon, a body of men who
stand for justice and right.
“We voted that our money now in
the treasury be donated to the Salva
tion Army.” The amount is not an
nounced, but it was declared to be a
“substantial sum.**
I' Standard Potato And
Poach Crates Adopted
• A one bushel hamper and a bushel
I ’ crate, 12 by 12 by 18 inches, were
1 adopted as the standard containers
for shipping sweet potatoes, the rul-
ingNo become effective Aug. 1, 1920,
L at a meeting yesterday of agricul
tural and transporation experts in
Macon. The crate adopted is in use
now in Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana
and Mississippi. South GArgia is
E the only part of the producing sec
tion which will have to make a
change.
At a compromise between the
Georgia and Florida fruit growers, a
peach crate 28 2-4 inches in length
was tentatively adopted at a meeting
of the previous day. The govern
ment standardization of the uspara-
gus crate prevailed and no change
was made in the bushel basket con

, But what baa all this to do with
the Baptist 76 Million Campaign?
Fou ask.
In the first place, while the wel

the cooing tot In the crib and In

those (ar advanced In the evening of

of the best children's experts which
the cities afford, have a larger
chance to attain the normal healthy
Urea which it la behoved God wills
that they should have, hare been
prorldcd In some of theso boapitals.
But probably the largest contribu
tion Baptists have made to the wel
fare of children in the South la In
the establishment of the string of
orphanages, there being one ol
these In practically every state
within the bounds of the Southern
Baptist Convention. And the lar
gest possible provision Is being
made at these institutions for the
homeless tola who have been robbed
by the Grim Reaper of their natural
protectors; Yime was la this coun
try when many people felt that or
phans were entitled to little consid
eration further than a shelter, and
tor a long time they felt that If chil
dren without fathers and mothers
were placed la homes where they
got food an1 shelter In exchange for
hard manual tabor they had been
really served. Of courae, many
childless couples with high Ideals
were glad to get children upon
whom they could bestow their af
fect!™ and whore they were glad
lieges and blessings of a great
Christian civilization such as you
covet for the children of yn-r own
It la to help answer this call that
the campaign w:.s launched. Other
interests than those of children
will ha fostered at the same rime.
