ORDINARY FATHER

NJ. ]. Walsh. an overseas secretary %
the knights of Columbus, returned 10
the United States yesterday with the
story Of the meeting between Gen. John
]. Pershing and his son, Warren, who
went across with Secretary Baker of the
War Department. which Mr.. Walsh wit
messed when the General boarded the
Leviathan at Brest.
Gen. Pershing did not know that his
son was coming to France, and 1t had
been intended TO surprise him with the
boy when he came aboard the ship 10
greet Secretary Baker. But a sailor
managed to say to the General as he
came aboard:
"Your son is aboard. waiting for you"
Gen. Pershing forgot all about being
a soldier" said Mr.. Walsh. HE only
remembered thst he was n father. He

together.
Our best men, though, are not here.
They are In the fields of France. And
II l ever have anything to do with
the erection OF memorial to them II
shall contain also the figure OF a woman,
for her, part though behind the lines
was no less part OF the heroic self
sacrifice necessary to win this war.
Col. Donovan and the regiment are
synonymous. And we come back a
united and happy regiment because we
come back under the command OF VIII
Donovan. Donovan won his rank from
Major to Colonel by courage and eff
fciency. Good men died because OF
him: they died because they saw Dono-
van ahead OF them in the field. He
stimulated them to further effort. to
courageous sacrifice by the example he
was setting.
But now you are to leave him. You
are to return to your new life. And In
your new life try to write as brilliant a
record in the future as you did in the
past.
Breed you the sons your fathers bred
and God will save America"
concluded. But not for long. A faint
cheer started somewhere and ran like
fire in a powder train until the whole
place was laundering until one could
not hear ones own voice swelling the
acclaim.
Lieut.. Henry Kelley. who was
wounded early in the regiments hght-
ing. spoke on behalf Of the ofiicers. He
declared that the men loved Col. Dono-
van and spoke Of him affectionately as
wild Bnr--behind his back. And,
one OF the noblest men who ever served
in the United States Army" he con-
cluded
Sergeant Thomas F1tzsimrnons spoke
for the enlisted men. After declaring
that they are with their Officers, start
ing from the bottom up, he said that
each and every one had the love, adj
miration and respect OF every man in
the regiment.

Following the speeches the men seemed

The COMMUNITY
BUILDER MAKES
BOW TO PUBLIC

"The Community Builder" is the
title of a monthly publication the
first number uf which has just ap-
peared, published By Joseph Perkins,
secretary-manager of the chamber OF
commerce. The first number, which
contains. "a pages and cover, is an
attractive piece of printing, full of
information about the community
that many will want to know. The
first number is being mailed to all
of the registered voters in Sumter
county, besides the members of the
chamber.
The following announcement ap-
pearing in the initial number explains
the magazine:
Several months ago the secretary
of the Americas and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce undertook to
issue monthly bulletin, the object OF
which was to keep the members OF
the organization. posted as to the va
rious activities engaging attention
from time to time and discuss In a
very limited way matters regarded OF
general interest to the community.
While the Bulletin was sent out IN
rather crude shape on account OF the
absence of facilities for more attrac-
tive get-up, nevertheless, it met with
most flattering reception. However,
on account of circumstances over
which we had no control, it was nee
essary to discontinue the undertak-
ing several weeks ago.
'In the meantime the success with
which the first venture met indicated
that there existed a wide field of OPP
portunity for a publication the scope
of which should be sufficiently large
to cover not only the activities OF
the chamber of commerce but mat
ters of interest to the entire com
munity, and with particular refer
ence to the farmer.
"After giving the matter very thor
ough investigation for several months
securing the opinions of scores OF
farmers, business men and others, it
has been determined by the secdetary
fthe Amepicus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce, assisted by
the County Agent and Home Dem
onstration Agent, to undertake the
preparation of the publication, which
will be issued monthly and will be
known as The Community Builder.
eve shall devote especial time and
effort to such matters as will be OF
benefit to the farmer, stock raiser,
dairymen, gardener and housewife

Charles Ray in "The Sheriff's Son."
Charles Ray gives an astonishingly
clever Characterization in his new
Paramount picture, "The Sheriff's
Son" when he portrays a young man,
who has inherited a great fear from
his mother, and has to fight hard to
get the better of his weakness. When
the story opens, the boys father is
badly hurt in a fight with cattle
thieves in New Mexico. The boy is
yet unborn, but the mother, who
sees her husband attacked, receives
a severe shock and later the lad is
born with her fear in him.
His father is slain by rustlers and
he is sent east to be educated. When
he is grown to manhood he comes
west to rescue the cattleman who
sent him east. This man has been
taken prisoner by the gang of cattle
rustlers who were enemies of the
boys father.
Then begins the great struggle. All
the boys inherited fear prompts him
to turn back. But he takes a firm
grip on himself, pulls himself to-

The Dutch editors are wrathy that

should have advocated the giving up
of the former war lord Their Dutch
is up, in fact. They say the regular
legal forms must be gone through
with in order to extradite the guest

The great trouble with this beau
tiful theory is that there is no law,
national or International, to make a
king answer for his crimes. A scep-
ire is license to commit all man.
ner Of crime, and the license is Crdi-
narily used to the limit of its author
ity. A king can do no wrong under
the law. That is because the kings
are above the law, and they nave
formed from of old a seiect timer
circle of law-evaders. They have
seen to it that no laws were passed
by means Of which they could be
brought to book for their crimes, the
rommonest OF which has anyways peen

Just the same kings have been
made to answer for their GRIMES once
in awhile. AS the crimes of which
they have been guilty have trans

Russia is not plotting to ge, DacK on

stopped by a revolutionary bullet and
his retinue of royal hangers-on ever
since have called it murder. What

The Dutch editors have perverted

seven legions of deputies to take
away the murderous guest of tn
