that there are prizes on almost ev-
erything, and this is the year when
the people of the county should CO.
operate and help to make TINS the
most interesting Fair that has ever
been known; there is enough sorrow
and sadness in the world; what is
needed now is for everyone to JOIN
together in seeing how much joy and
sladness may be gotten, how to help
others forget their sorrows, now 10
tighten their loads, and that means
for everyone to work together.
The racing events this year are
without a parallel in the history OF
the Fair; the number of entries is
greater this year than at any Prev
Gus year, and the purses hung out,
averaging about $1,000 a day, have
attracted a string of horses worthy
of any Fair track in the country.
The Fair is going to be a great
success; don't stay home and say 1t
is no good, for persons who do not
attend do not know anything about
it. Go and see for yourself, and you
will like it, and may decide to go eV-

she prepared to go back to her home,

American Legioners
Carried Own Flag
In Secret to War

Few people know that in the
famous American Legion Of the
Canadian Army every man car
ried an American flag over his
heart. When an American, eager
to enter the big fight for liberty,
went up to Canada to enlist he
was first sworn in as a Canadian
soldier and then his commanding
officer presented him with a
small American flag, which was
pinned inside his tunic.
"T'll carry this to Berlin or
bust, was what many q man
said.
This in fact became the slogan
of the famous 9th Battalion,
around which is written the plot
of For the Freedom Of the
world" Ira M. Lowry's motion
picture spectacle to be seen at
the Peoples Theatre on Friday,
February 8.
Those who see the film will
have portrayed for them the
romance of a young American
who enlisted in the Canadian
Army, won his commission and
also the love of a beautiful
Canadian girl before going over
seas. Their adventures, their
wonderful love and their even
more wonderful sacrifice form
the basis for war story more
thrilling than anything which
has yet been done.
Made with the cooperation of
both the Canadian Government
and the United States military
authorities. the film has in it
many thousands Of regular SOL
diers and a series of battle scenes
which in their realism have
never been surpassed. The Story
was written by Captain Edwin
Bower Hesser of the American
Legion.
