EX-SERVICE MEN, WHITE AND
BLACK, ATTENTION

You have heard about the govern
ment cleanup squad which is to be
in Americas from Oct. 9Th through
the 18th to be of service to all ex-
service men from Sumter. Wilcox
Pulaski, Crisp and Dooly counties.
1t is very important that you not for
get those days if you have govern
ment claims pending, or desire to get
assistance from the government in
medical attention, compensation, oil
vocational training.
Uncle Sam, as Congressman Crisp
told us recently at a Legion meet,
ing, is anxious to be of assistance
to all men who were in any way dis.
abled by the World War. It's true
there has been a whole lot of red
tape in the past which, was at first
inevitable, but the offices are clear
ing up now and a special effort is be-
ing made to hasten action on all
pending cases. The squad is here for
QUICK ACTION.
If you suspect any physical trouble
due TO your service don't put the
matter off. If you do you will regret
it later. The longer you put off con-
sulting the government the harder
it will be to trace your trouble to
government service.
Come to the Wheatley building
Americas. Ga, Oct. 5, 6. or 7 and
bring with YOU your original dis
charge and all other government pa
pers you have.

capitalists, who are mostly seeking

PRETTY COMEDY
HOLDS BOARDS AT Z
ThEATER TONIGHT
Turn to the Right" Is One Of the
Stages Delightful Offerings
Highly Praised BY
Critics.

In "Turn to the Right" which will
be at the Washington Theater for one
performance tonight, Winchell Smith
Smith and John e. Hazard have
taken the high points Of the rural
drama and the crook plays and have
woven them into comedy that should
live for many years because 1t is a
play of Joy and love and beauty-a
masterpiece that gives one that salts
fled feeling that is given by few Of the
plays now on the American stage.
The Joy of the play is not alone in
the main plot. It is in the delightful
scenes, in the brilliant comedy, n the
wonderful silences that convey more
than any words could. The setting in
the old home, with the red table cover,
the kitchen pump, the family Bible
and the praying mother is enough to
bring tears to anyone who cherishes
his back home" recollections. The
night scene in the peach orchard is
thrilling in its beauty. The comedy
situations are ingenious and effective.
There is only one company on tour
In Turn to the Right" and the COM
edy will be presented here exactly as
It ran for solid year in both New
York and Chicago. In the cast are sew
eral players who have appeared in
their respective roles more than 1000
times including Charles W. Goodrich
Jane Ellison, Maude Huntley and Sid
ney Henderson. Seats are now on sale
at Shafer & watkins Paint Store.
