Victory Loan Drive

Chairman A. L. Jones took advant-
age of the opening day of court to
inaugurate his Victory Loan Drive,
and with marked success and great
promise the campaign was opened.
There were numerous, able and en-
thusiastic speakers present, and
Judge Holt gave place to the work as
soon as court was formally opened
and the grand jury empaneled.
Messrs. Undertake and Glasgow,
of Staunton delivered addresses be-
fore he noon recess, presenting in
their splendid way the claims of this
last loan and carrying conviction to
those who were "open" to such con-
viction. The afternoon session of
the meeting began at / o'clock, Mr..
Jones leading to the stand Private
big war who had lost a leg in the SER
Chas. F. Long, young veteran of the
vice. Before introducing him the
Chairman stated that he was glad to
report the sale of a ten thousand dol
lar bond, and that a Highland lady
was the purchaser. The announce
ment called forth hearty applause,
after which Private Long was intro
duced. In plain, intelligent way
he related his experience and hard
ships from the time he left the States
until he returned, and the thrilling
narrative made deep impression on
the large audience present.
Speakers were then called on in
the following order: B. H. Hiner, of
Franklin, H. H. Byrd, of Warm
Springs, Judge Holt, Chas. Curry,
John w. Stephenson, and two con-
federate veterans who CHANGED topbe
in the audience-Hon. VIM. M. Nc
Allister, of Covington, who is now
quite old but vigorous, and who prac
ticed at the Highland bar rs years
ago, and DR.. Jones, of Doe Hill.
One can readily see from the above
list that all tastes were satisfied, the
variety affording splendid oratory
and convincing argument-a real
feast for loyal Americans, all of
whom worship at the shrine of patri-
otism.
Following these addresses, an ap-
peal was made for subscriptions to
the loan, both from the rostrum and
scriptions, at the close of the meet
ing, amounting to approximately
$4,000.

"a Southern Cinderella

A delightful play. The basis of
this play is the charming fairy story
Cinderella. The story of the
play is: Twenty years before the
play Madam Chareris, possessor of a
Southern fortune, disinherits her
daughter because she marries a
"Bellemy.." In the play Madam
Charters has become an invalid,
completely dominated" by two Eng
lish hawks. Thru the instrument
tally of Miss Winterberry, a mission
worker, Enid Bellemy, the grand
child of Madam Charters is brought
home. BY a happy accident Enid
comes into her own, "the Charertis
fortune" The play blends pathos
and humor. Nanny Judy, with her
heart of gold" furnishes refresh
ing picture of the loyal Southern
nanny, her five 'premeditated
plunges into the sea of matrimony"
supply abundant humor.
Public cordially invited. 15c and
25c admission.

The Staunton Morning Leader says
that two Highland men from the Doe
Hill section were arrested there Tues
day on a charge of transporting liqu-
or in violation of the state prohibit
tion law. They were Glenn and Ell
mer Snyder, cousins, the former hav-
ing been employed at intervals in re-
cent months in driving the Monterey
mail truck. The account of the af-
fair says: ..--
According to police official here
the two men went to Richmond in a
large truck last week for the pur-
pose, as they stated, of having the
machine repaired. They returned
Sunday evening. Evidence pointed
to the fact that they had brought
whiskey with them and search of
Glenn Snyder's, room in the Palmer
House revealed three quarts and
about half pint of spirits. Officers
stated that one of the men admitted
that they had brought to Staunton
IL quarts of whiskey." The men
were placed in joil to await hear
ing, the result of which will probably
be known today. Glenn Snyder has
wife and three children, who, the
statement says, were then at the
Palmer House in Staunton,

DREAMER OF DREAMS ROUTED FROM LATIN
 QUARTER IN PARIS

PARIS, April IS Correspondence of the Associated Press) The famous Latin Quarter of Paris, home of the denizens of the world of art, is for the time being, at least, thing of the past, killed unwittingly by an invasion of American officers stationed in the capital. So many of the soldier boys have taken up their abode in this section so that they might get a sight of real life" that the long time habitues have been forced to with draw because of lack of room and high prices. The spirit of Bohemia, frightened by the influx from over seas, has spread its wings and drifted away to a more tranquil spot.
 It is not dislike of the Yankees that has forced the long-haired artist to fold up his easel and steal sadly away to find himself a new home. Far from that. But even a long-haired artist who, theoretically, can live in a hole in the wall, must have at least some room to turn about in, and more over his pocketbook is not so long as that of his friends from across the ocean. So the Latin Quarter is Am ericanized, and apparently will re- main so until Uncle Sam calls his boys home again, when probably the dreamer of dreams will find his way back to his old haunts.
