Louisville, KY, Nov. IA cam
paign to raise funds to carry on the
work of the woman's movement to
eradicate adult illiteracy and to
finance the moonlight schools" will
be opened today, and carried on
throughout one week. A very ef-
fective campaign has been mapped
out by the women. and the COOP

cured in the most effective way.
One of the things on which great
emphasis has been aid is that while
this is a movement to secure funds
for the moonlight schools it has
nothing to do with the puoiic school
system, except insofar as teachers
and buildings may be made avail
able for carrying on the work. Mass
meetings will he held at various
times and places throughout the

sented by illiteracy depicted and the
advantages that accrue from the
elimination of illiteracy set forth.

CHINESE FACTIONS UNITE

New York, Nov. 14.-As the war
area in the Orient spreads about the
Chinese republic reports arrive
which indicate that China Is being
rapidly unified and strengthened by
wave of patriotism for the new
government. 1t would appear that
China is gathering her forces to re-
sist the menace of the world war.
It is very likely an agreement Will
be reached between the Chinese
radical leaders, and the president
and the government Of China. The
leaders feel that personal differences
should be obliterated in face Of the
present international situation and
the necessity of Chinese national
unity as an essential aid to the pres
of Chinese national integ-
rity.

A SLICK SWINDLER
BUNCOS PALATKAN

Palatka, Nov. 14.-Reware Of
one DR.. J. D. Cooper who claims
Valdosta, Ca, as his home.
He Is a plausible swindler who op-
crates generally among physicians.
He is doctor and when he enters
a town his plan is to make the ac-
quaintance of doctors.
DR.. J. C. Chandler of this city
knows him. Cooper didn't toy with
DR.. Chandler while in Palatka, but
he did call on one of our other ply
sicians and secured his endorsement
to $40 check on Valdosta bank.
He first showed the physician a de-
posit book on the bank; said he was
a stranger in town and only wanted
to be identified. The Palatka physr-
clan endorsed the check. Later the
check came back and the Palatka
physician had it to pay.
Cooper also secured $35 in the
same way from a physician at Has
tings.
The man calls on his intended VIC
tim and talks shop" He is a ply
sician and is seeking a location and
wants advice. He spends some time
with his intended victim, makes
himself agreeable and before leaving
asks as mere matter Of form"
that he be identified at the bank.
This he generally gets.
The man Is still at large in Flor
ida and other doctors should be on
the lookout for him. He may need
further Identification
Cooper is man possibly 35 years
of age; looks like a country doctor
and may have been one for all we
know. But just now collections are
bad in the cotton belt and are ap-
parently much easier in Florida.
