What will be the prevailing issues
when 5000 delegates selected from
membership of 100000 ex-ser-
vice men distributed among $500 To-
cal posts throughout the world assem-
Bile for the second national conven-
ton of the American Legion in
Cleveland, o., on Sept. 81? The selec-
ton. of delegates has been complet-
ed and in most cases they, will go to
the convention guided by instruc-
lions which represent the sentiment
of ex-service men of their home COM
munities.
According to reports of survey
of the national situation received at
national headquarters, there are some
of the things which stand paramount
in the minds of the ex-service men.
Continuance of the Legion's Wig
ororus program to obtain justice for
the disabled and the dependents of
those whOA have died. The Legion has
been al caustic critic of the admins
tration of the various government
bureaus dealing with the disabled, but
for some months has been working
in close cooperation with the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education
the War Risk Insurance Bureau and
the United States Public Health Ser
vice. The general situation has i'm
proved, but apparently not to the
satisfaction of many Leg;onnaires.
Discussion of the political restric-
tons clause of the national constitu-
ton. There is marked sentiment for
an official Interpretation of this
clause which shall be binding upon
all posts. The belief is widespread that
the Legion would profit by a more
active participation in public affairs,
without, however becoming entang-
led in any way with partisan political
activities.
The need for a means of disciplin-
ing posts and other units who fail to

Valdosta Rotarians To
Give Carpenters Cue

PALDOSTA, Sept. 2O-Valdosta
Rotarians will properly celebrate a
unique stunt at its meeting Tuesday
with an old time Georgia barbecue
rendered to the members of the car
penter's union and their wives, the
main exhibition hall of the Georgia
Florida fair being selected as the
scene of this event.
On Thursday morning the mem
bers of the carpenters union will
commence work on the new agricul-
tural building at the fair grounds,
and they expect to complete the
building in one days time. They will
not charge one cent for their ser
vices. This new building will be 80
by 80 feet, but its size does not deter
the carpenters from undertaking and
accomplishing their task.

WHAT WATSON
EXPECTS TO Do
Outlines His Program
He Hopes To Accom-
plish In Senate

THOMSON, Sept. 20.-Thomas
E. Watson, Democratic nominee for
the United States senate, has an
nounced the things he hopes to ac-
Accomplish as member of the senate.
His announcement was made in the
issue of the Columbia Sentinel this
week.
The statement follows:
President at Home.
"f1) will do all within my power
to pass a law compelling the presi-
dent to remain in this country dur
ing his term OF office and to declare
that his voluntary abandonment of
his country shall amount in law to a
resignation of Office.
500 My earnest efforts will be di-
rected to raise the Liberty bonds to
par by making them legal tender, in
payment of all debts; or by the is
suance of greenback money notes on
these bonds to the amount of their
face value.
eff ever the solemn pledge of the
government was put behind any obi
cation, it was put behind these Lib
erty bonds and now that they have
been made sacred by the blood of
soldiers who were forced to leave this
country to fight the battles of the in
ternational bankers, it is time to
make these bonds good dollar for
dollar.

''But the diamonds?" said I, meaning
to test her attitude, since she'd had a
chance to think over what I'd told her
about monsieur's claims on them and
particularly as he'd gone to her him
self: "Will you take them home with

She recoiled from me. ST can't

She had caught hold of me and
looked positively frightened as she

and that we could not be overheard.

There was both scOrn and appeal in
her tone. 1 saw the moment was not
ripe for a discussion of the Tibetan
mahatma question. Nor did her re-
newed expressions of confidence in me
and her obvious need of help In the
present difficulties lessen the compli-
cations that now entangled me. Be
fore could think of anything suitable
to say, she burst out: you'll not de-

her Billy was here and suggested that
she meet particularly since he'd
been to the hotel and was all wrought
up over Claire's mysterious departure.
Mrs. Delario demurred, hut oyerruled
her and presented Billy.
Billy's relief and joy at the rediscov-
cry of Claire were quite touchingly
amusing and he made himself CORE
spondingly agreeable to Claire's chap
erOn. He seemed conveniently to for
get his dictum of a couple Of hours ago
that said chaperon was crazy. The
only point we any of us attempted to
elucidate was the new mans connec-
ton with the case-which we felt was
somehow the key to monsieur's sudden

He shot this off in a fierce determin-
ed tone and / saw he was ready to
spring the mine under the Delarios,
mother and son. To gain time, ask
ed: But are these condolences suffi-
cient ?-are they evidenced"
"Bah" he cried again. "Zey are
