MANY REGISTERED
VOTERS FAILING
TO CLEAR RECORD

While a number Of cards mailed 10
the last known addresses Of register
ed voters who have failed 70 vote in
the past two years are being returned
to County Clerk r. n. Brown, he feels
that the response to these notices is
not as large as it should be.
In all 1000 voters registered in the
county have failed to exercise the
right Of franchise in the past two
years. and the law requires that the
clerk shall go oyer the list, cutting out
the registration OF those failing in
his respect. The cards now being
mailed give these voters ar opportun-
ity to clear up their records, and
those falling to respond to the cards
will be stricken from the books. Fail
ing to do this they will have to regis
ter again before being allowed to
vote again.
1t is found hat 1t Is not always the
fault of the voter that he is not re-
corded as voting. In one precinct not
a name Is checked as voting, though
a sizeable vote was cast in the pre-
cinct. The clerks neglected { 0 check
the names of the voters as they called
for ballots, and because Of this 1t is
necessary 10 send a card to every per-
o registered in that precinct.

Thanks to aviation the world grows

buildings for colored schools in the near

The promise of $500 for each one has
been secured from the Rosenwald fund.
This is a fund established by Julius
Rosenwald for aiding the building Of
colored school buildings in the South.
The conditions are that the people Of
the community must meet the county
and Rosenwald appropriation by raising
$500 themselves, in cash, labor, material
land, etc. This the colored people of the
districts are doing. Prof. Chas. H
Moore, State agent for the Rosenwalc
fund, spent Sunday in the county, ane

of these districts at their churches.
At every meeting the people were

r. ENTERTAINERS
| NEEDED IN FRANCE

z .
WAiIe certain branches Of the work
ne National War WORK Council Of
the 7. N. CA. has been doing for some
time are being cartailed, one type Of
service 10 being called upon for more
evaporation than ever before. Al
though for some time there have been
apprcximatsly 40 10 500 entertainers
IN France, many difficulties have sur
rounded this type Of service and the
thousands Of shows which have been
given In France have only been put
over in spite Of almost snperhuman
difficulties. Now. however, with the
period 81 rehabilitation forcing upon
the Army new problems has real
spirit of cooperation been shown by
the Army authorities. Therefore. Gem
eral Pershing has detailed Colonel
Kelly, from his own Stan, to act as
embarrassment officer for the A. e. r.,
which position places him as the liai-
son officer between the Army and the
"Y" Entertainment Bureau in Paris.
Theatres and large buildings are be,
ing taken over, mechanics supplied by
the Army are putting them into opera
ton and the 'sY'' is producing shows.
given by soldier talent alone, and also
dramatic and vaudeville performances
and miscellaneous musical programs,
the personnel Of all OF which must be
recruited from this country.
Owing to the large number Of men
in the Army With entertainment abil-
ity, no effort is being made to send
men from this side. Women, however,
ere wanted for these positions In large
rumbers. 1875 must be sent out from
this country every month, which win
require the cooperation Of every re-
cruiting agency throughout the ,coun-
try. All entertainers are supplied with
uniforms, Life, Accident and Health
Insurance, transportation, and allow
$4,000 per month for living expenses
In France.
The women should be preferably be-
tween the ages Of % and 80, neat and
attractive and possessed Of a pro-
nounced ability in their particular line.
The field for entertainment now
reaches from the coast towns In
France right up and into Germany. for
while the "Y" cannot do much with
the Army Of Occupation in the way Of
Canteen, it can supply entertainment
and is doing so on an increasingly
large scale. Information may be OBJ
