SATURDIV. NOV. 4
An appeal that will touch .he
iiearts of all Americans will he made
in Canton next Saturday, November
4, by local workers of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World
War, under the direction of Mrs.
1*. V/. Jones chairman. The Jay is
Forget-mo Not Day and the funds
obtained by the sale of forget mi'
note, on the streets and in the budd
ings of the city will be used to alle
viate distress among the woundcci
heroes of the World War.
The day of November 4, is the one
da\ drive of the Disabled Veterans,
and all money raised will be used
for the 20,000 sons of the South in
Georgia who were maimed in tee
war for democracy. These men are
in every part of the state, many yet
suffering from the wounds of war,
many are out of employment and
find the government allowance for
their disability insufficient to sun
port their wives and children, and
many others need assistance in order
that they may take vocational
ing to prepare for as large a pail in
peace as they played in war.
Completed plans for this state
wide campaign have been made un
der the direction of Dr. Louis Wo-
stennan of Atlanta, who, himself is
a disabled veteran and until recently
was a rehabilitation student. Ail
over the state op November 4 ‘he
appeal will be made, and on that
day workers in Georgia cities, villag
es, and hamlets will seek fund* for
those who rjsked their all on fojreign
battlefields and returned ‘ wounded.,
crippled and disabled because of gal
lant services beneath German shell
fire.
The Disabled American Veterans
of file World War is the naffon.nl
organization of these gallant but
disabled wearers of the Khaki in
1917 and 1918, and is recognized by
the federal government as the of
ficial spokesman of the war scarred
service men. Their campaign is be : ng
backed by the government officials
and the American Legion, and other
great American civic organizations.

At present there is an American

the world court, but he was nomi

is now no provision for iffieial

The United States is ready also
to approve- and participate in a
world economic conference at tin*,

White House.
This attitude, however, carries
with it a firm intention that the

A social event of unusual interest
and significance was the reception
given by the ladies of the East'vn
Star to the Masonic Lodge, at the
Masonic Hall, on last Moil da.' even
ing. For some time past it has ben
desired to bring these two organ Ca
tions in closer touch, and acquaint
them with the work each is ’doing
in Canton, and this Halloween re
ception was a happy method of ac
complishing this desire^l end.
The Brethern of the Masonic
Lodge were .called upward, fram the
street LEVEL, unto the HEIGHTS
sired several samples before decid
ing, and in the confusion, Bro. W.
M. Thomas, slipped to one sidd, and
drank the evidence. There was noth
ing for our marshall to do, but re

GOVERNMENT PAYS SOUTH-
ERN ROADS FOR CONTROL
Washington, November 1.—Final
settlements between the government
and two southern railroads arising
out of the war-time federal control,
were completed today \vhe n th* gnv-
ernment paid the Charleston urd
of the third story, by the nv Jilin- f ess ^at words faiil to describe ’he
the work the Eastern Star had done Western Carolina Ralway $1,450,609
in decorating the lodge hall, was an< -l the Georgia Southern and Flori-
followed by talks from several of
the guests and a social hour wuh
stories and jokes ensued. Then the
EATS, the writer is frank to con
ous note of the bugle, blown by t! o
bugler-in chief, Rastus Bobo, and
were escorted into the lodge room,
where a receiving line composed of
the officers and members of the
Chapter, made them welcome. After
som° moments of hand-shaking ao.l
chatting, the guests were sca^t d,
and a short, informal program was
given. A n address of welcome and
appreciation to the Masonic Frater
nity, given by Rev. W. H. Moody,
was followed by a response from the
Masonic brethern, represent-d by
Col. E. M. McCanless. Several
musical numbers were rendered by
the Eastern Star Mixed Quartette.
S
Just at this time, considerable ex
citement was caused by the Town
Marshall appearing at the door, arm
ed with search warrant, and stating
that he was ordered to search the
hall. After some heated discussion,
he was admitted and after a short
search, found a bottle concealed,
which contained a suspicious looking
and smelling liquid. This was opened
and sampled by several experts in-he
company, some of whom pronounced
it the Pure Stuff, and some who de-
quanity and quality of the refresh-
rhents. Before consciousness failed
57 varieties of chicken sandwicli v,,
salad, potato chips, wafers, coffee,
cake and ice cream were counted, un
til finally the guests dispersed, filled
mentally and physically.
The success of the occasion, and
the benefits derived therefrom,
ought to convince the members of
both Lodge and Chapter, that this
reception should be made an annual
event in Canton.
