TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER'2S 1923' ~ LEGION TO 188 MLEM Bf ORPHANS ff.TKI MTiffi Will Recommend Building of Hemes in Various Y’artc of Country By Government LAND .MONEY OFFERED Many Legionnaires of National Prominence Compose Commit tee in Charge of Problem INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 25—How to care for from 250,000 to 500,- 000 orphans of the world war is the problem the American Legion will consider at its national xcon vention in San Francisco, October 15-19. Tentative plans for this project, which experts, believe will be as difficult as that of relief for dis- j abled veterans were considered at a recent meeting of the legion’s war orphans committee in Indian apolis. While definite statistics are not available, it is estimated that the greatest number who must receive assistance of some kind from municipalities, counties, states, the federal government or the legion will be 500,000. The committee will recommend the building of a number of na tional homes in various parts of the country for dependent children of legion members and service men, hot members of the legion yvho died before May 1, 1919. Jn addition to the national homes a supplementary system will be inaugurated whereby dependent children can be placed with foster parents, after careful investigation. The welfare of the children will he guarded by local legion posts after they have been placed in private homes, according to the committee. The committee will ask the na tional gathering for authority to accept gifts of suitable buildings, money and sites. Ajiumber of of fers have already been made to the legion of land and money. Among them is 388 acres of land and $125,000 offered by Dan Dabney, of Independence, Kan., and the Kansas department of the legion. Another offer has come from Geo. L. Berry, president of the Interna aJ&’W’W .Pressmen’s Union*, farmer national vice-commander of 4><‘ legion, wli© has asked the or-1 ggnizitjon to ’accent 200 acres of j 'fennessee’land. valued at $20,000, | y The committee’s decision was I reached after it had heard the | testimony of many experts in child-1 welfare and the care of orphans, ‘ ifcMing £.

Senior News Saturday afternoon, Sept 15, the Sidney Laniej Literary society gave their program in the school auditorium. The most interesting feature of the program was a “Mock Facul ty.” This was very interesting, the selection of characters being fitted |so perfectly to impersonate the member assigned. Following is the cast of characters: Mr. Prance, Clarence Dasher. When he started telling jokes, everyone knew im mediately that he was impersonat ing Mr. Prance. Mr. Owens, Hugo Bradley. The grace displayed in directing the music would have in terested anyone, knowing Mr. Ow ens’ ability for singing. Mrs. Hin son, Catherine Colline. It happen ed to be Mrs. Hinson’s morning to lead chapel, so she began by sing ing her favorite song, “Onward, Christian Soldier?.” Then she read j the Scripture Jessidn, it always be-I ing the following Sunday’s lesson. Then came they announcements. Mr. I Caswell, impersonated by Henry , Salter, gave several of his favorite announcements. Mr. Waller, im personated by Pasley Watley, gave his favorite announcements to the football team, saying they mukt not eat sweets in any form. Miss Rob erts was .impersonated by Grace Reddick. This was very interest ing, she being so dainty, in dress and precise in her manners. Mr. Comer, impersonated by Lawrence Henderson, was very good. Miss McDonald was impersonated by Georgia DeLoach. Following the “Mock Faculty” were some favorite jokes by our class joker, Verlie Wilson, one of these being: Miss Roberts, the 10th English class. “Toriiorrow, class, we will take the Life of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Please come prepared.” H»me Economics In home economics department this weejk, canning was one of the most ihfersting subjects. Last Monday more than 250 cans of pears were stored away for the win ter months. The Senior girls worked diligent ly under the supervision of Miss Margaret McDonald, home econom ics instructor, and Mr. Waller, as sistant agriculture (teacher. The girls showed their ability by fol-' lowing instruction, ahd.a result ev ery can was good. The canning outfit, was made by the boys under the instruction of Mr. Comer. The girls of the school are not only interested in 'the preparation of foods, but since the beginning of the term each girl has been mak ing attractive articles of clothing. Look for the “Blue and / Gold” booth at the fair this week We will be glad to have the people of Americus and Sumter county in spect our domestic art which we think is near to the mark of per fection. Farm News The farm boys are busy cutting and stacking fieavine hay and pre-; i paring land for seeding the winter grains. Mr. Waller,used last Monday di recting a squad of girls in canning pears. The pears were grown on the school farm; the girls were paid ’ for their work by the hour, and . the boarding department will pay I the farm for the pears at the pre ; vailing market price. By this plan j the giris are, enabled to earn part I of their school expenses, the hoard ing department gets a good supply of wholesome food, and the farm makes a profit from the pear crop. Those boys whb work on the farm for pay this year are given credit for their work at fifteen cents per hour. They are not paid in cash, but the amount is applied on their board. This plan gives the work to those who are willing to earn their expenses and who could not otherwise attend school. Mr. Caswell says that one of the requisites to successful farming is the use of labor saving devices. For this purpose, equipment has been installed in the school barn for unloading hay by horse-power. It is usually considered necessary to hav.e a specially designed barn , ' for such equipment but the one be ing used hern can be installed in' almost any barn. Farmers who have a good deal of hay to house, would do well to visit the school 'farm and inspect this equipment. Athletic* The football team played Doug las A.&M. school Monday after noon. Social Miss Roberts entertained the “Stay at Home” girls in the recep tion rooms of the Woman’s build ing from 7 tq 9 o’clock Saturday evening.
