In came little Master Robert Whitesicte from "Fairy Land" bearing a dainty white basket trimmed in pink tulle and cupids, which was filled with mints.

She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James McGili of Smyrna, and much loved by a host of friends.

The most marvelous thing about the reunion is the fact that no one up to the present has actually died from over indulging in the good things to eat served at this time. It is really a pleasure for _ v. yeral generations to get together occasionally and forget everything other than the mere joy of living. It is safe to say that every one, including the youngest in the four generations, had a joyful time and came back feeling richer in the knowledge that there are so many people in the world interested in our well-being and happi1% AOO A Vft1 ^ WAnllvT WftlrAO TtTA wl V* * ucaa, axiu ii* icau^ iiiaivco iuc rvuioii living if we will only take time to count our numerous blessings and privileges.

V ^ and merry making when, on last Friday, at the home of the father,* they gathered together to celebrate his seventy-sixth birthday. The 29th of July is a day to which the Counts family look forward, as a day when they can gather together around the old homestead and discuss the days of their childoo'd. i Tho fsi.+Vior rptdlzps that, hp must be [classed among the aged and his chilj dren with the middle aged. But on July 29th age is forgotten as they join together in their games as they did years ago. This anniversary was an unusually happy day for the family.

X VISIT TO THE : LIME COLA PLANT 1 ' ' I Showing How Perfect Sanitary ] Bottled Drinks Can Be i ( A visit to the Lime Cola Bottling i company's plant in Newberry is not < the least interesting experience one ] can have. As you watch the various ] processes of sterilization and washing the bottles to the filled bottles every ( process is interesting. i The empty bottles brought in on i the tracks are conveniently stacked near the soaker. The operator places I four bottles on the feed table, and as these four bottles are shoved into ; place in the pockets four'clean bot- ] ties are set up on the automatic car- j rier to be delivered at the bottling ( machine ready to be filled. jj When the bottles are fed into the < soaker they are carried by the endless 1 chain to which the pockets are at- ] tached down into a tank containing a four per cent caustic solution, kept 1 at a temperature of 100, through j which it takes ten minutes to pass, i they are then brought up and as ; they are turned with the necks down < to drain a large paddle wheel dashes ] the solution over them ^and washes ? off all of the loose dirt that may re- 1 main on them. After this draining 1 and splashing they are carried over 1 the top of the machine where the 1 cleansing process is completed with i clear water. As the top is reached!1 rods are run through the necks and!] the bottles are carried up between I two revolving brushes on which six! < streams of clear water are constantly ii playing, after this outside scrubbing < they are passed over nozzles that are t thrust up into the ne>cks and a stream < of water is thrown into it for five s seconds, it is then passed to a second ] set of nozzles where the operation is 1 repeated, after thesfe two rinsings, i they move forward and revolving i brushes through which a stream of water is flowing are thrust into the ' 1 necks and go to the bottom giving t each bottle a thorough scrubbing in- ? side, they then pass forward and this ? inside scrubbing with brush and water t is repeated. After this scrubbing theyj are again moved forward and each;t bottle gets two more rinsings over J j nozzles through which streams of wa-;c ter are playing under pressure. Thejf bottles are now ready for delivery to j i the machine that tills them, and are as bright and clean and sparkling as t it is possible to make 3. glass bottle, t 4 K ,ime > a Case lot days me y ine \ / - n i # fhese bottles are not touched after* )eing led m, unm tne man wno operites the bottling machine puts them in j position for filling. The machine that does the filling is is interesting as the automatic washer. This'rtiachine automatically measlres the syrup and mixes it with the ;arbonaed water, fills the bottle and 3resses the cap or crown into place, ( making an airtight seal. The filled bottles are then inspected >ver a strong light and any bottle that ;s not as it should be is set aside and ts contents poured out. We wonder how many of you drink iltered water! That is the kind of water you get In the bottled drinks put y by the Lime Cola Bottling company. The iilterer is a jrather simple, affair but every drop of the water that goes inx> the tank from which water is irawn to fill the bottles has to pass through it thus insuring the utmost Durity of water. To properly carbonate water it has to be cold. To get this chill into it. It is necessary to use, ice or refrigeraton of some kind. The Lime Cola Bottling company has its own ice machine, and the water is chilled by means of large coils of pipe that are submerged in the water tank; through which ammonia gas is pumped. The circulation of this ammonia through :hose coils will in a short time reduce the temperature to 40 degrees, which ;s the best temperature for carboniting, and if desired by running the Dump longer the water can be frozen. In handling the syrup eveiy pre:aution is taken to prevent contact vith anything that is not perfectly ilean. The porcelain tub from which ;he syrup is drawn is in a screen room especially constructed for it. The syrup is pumped through a tube and is massed through a cloth as well as a netal strainer into this tub, and as it masses out to the bottling machine,; t goes through strainers again.-After ?ach day's operations the tub and all 1 ;ubes used in handling the syrup are; thoroughly washed out and cleaned,1 ill crowns and broken bottles are wept up and removed and the hose urned on. The result of all this care and at ention is just what might be exacted?each bottle with Lime Cola ) it is a perfect, wholesome, health1 drink, put up under the most sanudry conditions.

BIG SCENES ABOUND IN KATTERJOHN PLAY I . | Virile Drama of Southwest Crowded With Thrilling Moments? McGowan in Lead J "Cold Steel," adapted by Monte j Katterjohn, authoT of the memorable i "Flame of the Yukon," from the novel "In the Shadow of the Hills" by George C. Shedd, will have its. initial presentation at the opera house where it will be the feature attraction for Friday. A virile drama of the Southwest, replete with dramatic punch and a delightful touch of romance, "Cold Steel" takes its place among the most successful photoplays of this type. It unfolds a story of adventure in the arid wastes near the Rio Grande, portfrays with vivid realism the efforts of a band of designing cattlemen who attempt to present the construction of a coffer dam, of which the hero is in charge, | and ends with a climax of exceptional tensity. Charles Steel, known as ''Cold I Steel" because of his imperturbability | in the face of danger, goes to San I Mateo, New Mexico, to build a great ; dam for purposes of irrigation. Othj ers have attempted the work before I him but failed. Obstacles pile up to j discourage him. Cattlemen conspire I against him. They plot to ru:" but ! he confronts the posiibi? loss or ? J girl of his heart. The s.ory unreels ja number of gripping episodes which we shall withhold for obvious reasons. ' But in the end, after he fights his way i through difficulties that would dishearten an ordinary mortal, "Cold | Steel" triumps. i J. P. McGowan, popular actor and i director of high accomplishment, por' trays the role of "Cold Steel" ana gives to this superb production, distributed by Robertson-Cole, a finish that marks it at once as a subject worth seeing. "The girl is impersonated in capital fashion by Kathleen Clifford, recalled both for her splendid work on the musical comedy stag'e and in photoplays, in which she di vided the honors with Douglas Faii> banks and other headliners.
