Kniahts OF Columbus Worker Presides
At Meeting In Ruined Chapel
In France

Had 1t not been for Father James
Horton, formerly principal of the Mar
list College In Atlanta, Ca, but now
a volunteer chaplain with the Knights
OF Columbus overseas, there would
have been no services in the little
ruined chapel Of st. Crepin in the
shell-torn town Of Chateau Thierry
when the Yanks poured into the city
and drove the Huns back toward the
Rhine. The Knights of Columbus are
one of the seven war work agencies
to Join in the United Wark Work
Campaign, November Ills, to raise
$17o. 900.
Father Horton was right up with
the vanguard Of the on-rushing Ameri-
cans and. after the Germans had been
cleaned out of their cellars and ma
chine gun ambushes, the Old Cure,
who had emerged from some unknown
hiding place, insisted on holding serv-
ice in st. Crepin's chapel to celebrate
the liberation of the city.
There were no vestments, no can
dies, no sacred vessels. But Father
Horton rode q motorcycle back to the
headquarters Of the Knights Of Co
lumbus, secured the supplies needed
by the Cure and rushed them back
By automobile. ~ .'4,.,es-sz-*--
The services were held and no more

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.
It is necessary for the patriotic peo-
ple~ of Robson county to face the
unflattering truth about the county's
record in the purchase of War Saw
ings stamps to this good hour and to
take seriously the work of complet-
ing their War Savings quota before
December 81 if this county is to have
100 per cent war record.
Take look at the record:
Robson county's allotment in War
Savings stamps is $1,059,280.
Amount subscribed to October 1
(the latest date to which we have the
figures), $e5o,0oo. ,.
! Amount to be subscribed, $4O9,28O.

scribed, ALA.

Amount to be sold, $S47,952.

Standing among 100 counties in
subscriptions, 78.
Standing among 100 counties ir
sales, 78.
These figures are furnished by the
War Savings headquarters for the
State at Winston-Salem.
Not flattering record, surely. Not
even third of the amount pledged
had been purchased up to October /
which would seem to indicate that
some people are not taking their
pledges seriously.
Robson county people are proud
OF the war record of the county SC
far-proud of. the conduct of it's sol.
diers at the front and of it's soldier.
packers at home. They have oversub.
scribed every allotment in Libert,
