George II. Hamilton Is Faith
er Of Harry G.. Phillips
OWN NAME DRAWBACK
Nobody Knew ellis Phil
lips" When He Quit
Histrionic Career

George II. Hamilton OF Newark,
who has been a state inspector of
workshops, has been succeeded by
Thomas p. Kearns of Dayton who
held a like position under the Har-
mon administration and the first Cox
administration. The appointment was
announced Friday by Governor Cox.
George II. Hamilton is the father OF
Harry c. Phillips of the Ohio State
Sanatorium, this city. and thereon
hangs an interesting tale.
In his younger days, George H..
Hamilton was known as Ellis Phil
lips and known rightly as that. is the
way he was christened, Obsessed in
his very tender years with passion
to go on the stage. he let this ambi.
tion guide him through an early prep
! aration which finally resulted i'm his
adoption OF the histrionic career.
For a number of years, he played
before the calcium and, as an actor,
proved very great success. AS many
! other actors are accustomed to do, he
assumed stage name. taking that
of George II. Hamilton.
Subsequently, he retired from the
stage and entered into business pur-
suits, in which was mixed a good deal
of politics, In travelling from city
to city, however he found that no.
body knew ELLIS Phillips," but that
seemingly everybody knew George II
Hamilton.
He finally became convinced that
his family heritage of name was a
positive drawback to his success and
he thereupon determined to become
George II. Hamilton In fact, not mere
ly in name. He took the matter into
court and. without difficulty, sue.
ceeded in having the name of his
adoption legally appended,
And so. peculiar as IL first sounds
George II. Hamilton of Newark is the
father of Harry C. Phillips of Mt,
Vernon.

CANADA OFFERS
100 ACRES LAND FREE
TO FARM HANDS
Bonus of Western Canada
Land to Men Who Assist
in Maintaining Needed
Grain Production

The demand for farm labor in Canada
is so great that as an inducement to
secure at once the necessary help re-
quired, Canada will give one hundred
and sixty acres of land free as home
stead and allow the farm laborer, who
files on land, to apply the time he Is
working for other farmers as residence
duties the same as if he had lived ON
the land he had applied for. This Of
fer made only to men working on
Canadian farms for at least months
during 1917, thus reducing the necessi-
ty of actual residence to 2 years IN
stead of 3 years, as under usual condi-
tions. This appeal for farm help is in
no way connected with enlistment for
military service but solely to secure
farm laborers to increase agricultural
output. A wonderful opportunity to
earn good wages while securing a
farm. Canadian Government will pay
all fare over one cent per mile from st.
Paul and Duluth to Canadian destina-
tion. Information rs to low railway
rates, etc, may be had on application

CONFEDERATE
VETERAN WOULD
JOIN THE NAVY

Little Rock, Arkansas, April II
Another gratifying example of loyalty
was demonstrated at the u. S. navy
recruiting office, Little Rock, ArlSan-
sas when j. H. Leigh of 1911 West
Second Street applied for enlistment
in the U. s. navy.
Mr.. Leigh requested that he be en-
listed at once and sent TO the largest
Battleship afloat for service on that
vessel, and he was greatly dissapoint-
ed when informed by the recruiting
officer that he exceeded the required
age limit by forty some odd years.
he being siXty-nine years of age.
Mr.. Leigh is a warrior of eXper-
ience, having enlisted in the Confed
crate army at the age of thirteen and
having served four years. which end
ed in April, 1865, under General Lee,
at Appomattox.
1t is most gratifying, in these times
of need to find such loyal spirit in
the Boys of 1861" and such an ex-
ample shown by our worthy veteran,
Mr.. Leigh, will no doubt find like
response by the Boys OF 1917.
