PATRIOTIC WEEK
! President Wilson Writes
On War Work Campaign
IN NEW YORK ‘ The following letter from President
New York, October 21.—What a pa
triotic throng tills New York at the
present time! What an inspiration
the Avenue is with its many-colored
flags, its artistic decorations and its
hundreds of bond booths where one
may exchange their surplus small
change into stamps for the govern
ment. And the thousands of pretty
girls who have voluntarily given up
their pleasures to devote their time
to this splendid work; many times by
their winsome smile do they win over
a quarter or two that had an entirely
different destination in view.

I “I have ooften heard the question
asked, ‘Well, if this work is so neces
sary, why doesn't the government pay
for it out of the bond issue?’ The an
swer is simple and direct. It is a
purely personal sort of work and to
produce the best results must continue
to be so. For the boys to feel that
this is something that the folks at

Spats Are Popular.
With the advance of cool weather,
spats are seen in greater numbers, i
Aomehow these things have the ca
pacity to give an ultra smart appear-1
mce to the plainest costume. They |
always look neat and trim, and are
most desirable in fawn cr sand-color.
Though white ones are considered in
good taste, they are not favored as
much as the soft neutral shades just
mentioned. Shoes are of such ex
orbitant prices that many women will
find it less expensive to pear pumps
and spats. The best-selling shoe at
the present time is the brown leather
with the flat heel and perforated tip.
tj?A'
Smart Top Coat For The Mias.
The professional people are doing
their share in a most admirable fash
ion. One of the most favored and
most popular actresses of the day
was selling bonds at the plaza of the
Library, Fifth Avenue. She wore a
black satin dress which was severely
plain, with black soutache braid in a
design over the front of the waist and
at the hem, as the only trimming. A
heavy silken cord with huge tassels at
the end held in the attractive dress
at the waistline. A large black hat
with uncurled ostrich on the brim
claimed the right to outline the pro
file of this charming person.
Back to the “Hobble 8klrt."
So tight are skirts getting, that,
with their added length, women are
beginning to take small steps, even
tiny steps and the resultant effect Is
the strong semblance to the "hobble
of the past. But these new skirts are
conserving material for the govern
ment, and Just a little shorter step Is
not regarded as a sacrifice when one
is bent on being patriotic to the ut
most. Besides, they are so- graceful.
Sometimes a button or two is left
open at the bottom of the skirt to al
low more freedom in walking. If the
skirt is not buttoned from the waist
to the hem, a slit is made at the low
er edge and cleverly concealed under
a pleat or fcld.
ciation and the Salvation Army as ac
cepted instrumentalities through
which the men in the ranks are to be
assisted in many essential matters of
recreation and morale.
"Will you not, therefore, as Chair
man of the Commission on Training
Camp Activities, be good enough to
request the societies in question to
combine their approaching appeals for
funds in a single campaign, preferably
during the week of November 11, so
that in their solicitation of funds as
well as in their work in the field, they
may act in as complete co-operation
and fellowship as possible?
“In inviting these organizations to
give this new evidence of thefr patri
otic co-operation, I wish it distinctly
understood that, their ocmpliance with
this request will not in any sense im
ply the surrender on the part of any
of them of its distinctive character and
autonomy, because I fully recognize
by the government, it would be done
under military direction. When a man
now steps into one of these huts, ho
feels that he is stepping out from
under military control and supervision
at least for a moment. The relief is
great and valuable.”
Baldwin county’s quota of the $170,-
000,000 is $7,000. The campaign will
begin soon. The slogan will be “A
contribution from every person in the
county, white and colored.”
.More colored men have gone from
Baldwin than white. Every soldier,
whatever his color, gets the same min
istry from the War Camp organiza
tions. It is believed that the colored
people of Baldwin will not let the col
ored people of Warren county best
them. When a recent campaign for
this cause was put on, the colored peo
pie of Warren contributed $3,200, near
ly half of Baldwin’s entire quota.

MOONSHINERS, USING
CHILDREN AS SHIELD
FROM BULLETS, FLEE
Chattanooga, Tenn.—In a daring
north Georgia raid early this morn
ing Captain Henry S. Cole and his
hand of provost guards captured Ml
gallons rf moonshine and three mul" ,
two wagons and two sets of harness.
The guilty parties made their escape
by jumping from the wagons and
placing two little Children on their
Lacks to prevent the provost fro-,
shooting at them. The haul is th
largest ever made in this section of
the country. The provost ran up cn
the moonshiners while on their y
to assist in the capture of a desperate
character which the sheriff of da
county, Georgia, had cornered. The
two wagons when captured were driv
en on to town by two of the prov st
guards and the remaining hand went
to the Georgia sherig’s relief with the
result that the desperado was cap
tured. It is stated that the man cap
tured is probably the head of tlir
gang which manufactures the contra
hand goods.

Do You Think There is
No Competition?
If anyone thinks there is no competition amongst
the big packers he ought to go through a day’s
work with Swift & Company.
Let him begin at the pens w-en the uve stoqk
comes in; let him try to buy a nice bunch of fat
steers quieUy and at his own price without aome-
body’s bidding against him.
Let him realize the scrupulous care taken at the
plant that not one thing is lost or wasted in order
that coats may be held to a minimum.
Let him go up into the office where market
reports are cpming in,—and reports of what other
concerns are doing.
Let him watch the director of the Swift Refrig
erator fleet, maneuvering it over the face of the
country like a fleet of battleship! at sea.
Let him take a trip with a Swift 6c Company
salesman and try to aell a few orders of meat.
Let him stay at a branch house for an hour
or two and see the retail meat dealers drive their
bargains to the last penny as they shop around
among the packers’ branch houses, the wholesale
dealers, and the local packing plants.
And then, when the day is over, let him have
half an hour in the accounting department, where
he can aee for himself on what small profits the
business is done. (Less than 4 cents on each dollar
of sales.)
If he still thinks there is no competition in the
meat business it will be because he wants to think so.

Atlanta.—The Fifth District Con
gressional Convention will meet in the
senate chamber at noon aSturday for
the purpose of nominating William 1).
Upshaw for congress. The fact that
Mr. Upshaw received twelve out of
the siyteen county unit votes in the
district will remove all possitiility of
contest.
It will lie a novel feature of the oc
casion that the congressman-elect will
he put in nomination by his pastor,
Dr. C. A. Ridley, of the Central Bap
tist church. Dr. Ridl.ey was Mr. Up
shaw’s collegemate at Mercer univer
sity. As is customary on such oc
casions there will he one or two sec
onding speeches from each county
which cast its vote fi r the successful
candidate- Fulton, Campbell and De-
Kalb.
The delegates will hold a prelimin
ary meeting ai Mr. Upshaw’s office,
30.7 Austell building, at 10:30 o’clock,
and will be entertained at luncheon
after the convention in- the senate
chamber by the congressman-elect.
Many of tho friends of the next
