r. White vice commander; William

expected an increase will be shown
over the 1922 membership.
Every post in the State is cx-
pectcd to take some part in the
observation of Education Week."
from December 3 to 8. This is a
movement worthy the support Of
every legion member. In some
counties the legion will send speakers
into the schools to talk on education
Wherever possible this plan should be
carried out, as it Identifies the Am
erican Legion with real constructive
undertaking.
A legion post has been organized
at st. George. This is the first to
be organized since Commander Lu-
ther Brice took over the reins of
legion government. Mr.. James K.
Jachles, executive committeeman from
the Firts district, is responsible for
the organization of this post. This
gives Dorchester County two posts,
the other one being at SummervIle.

To Celebrate The Fourth.

Arrangements for the celebration
of July 4th are progressing very fav-
orably in the hands of the committee
composed of members of the local
post American Legion, as is evidenced
by the advertisement appearing in
this issue of The County Record.
The contests in craftsmanship with
small fire arms is attracting consider
able attention from the fast there
are quite a number of professed
"crack shots" in this community. 1t
is understood that Mr.. H. D. Piowden,
formerly of Manning, and one OF the
best marksmen in the state, will be
in charge of this feature of the pro-
gram, and any man who shoots against
Mr.. Plowden will have to be good
one in craftsmanship to get any
honors in the contest. Read the ad-
vertisement on another page Of this

REAL MAIN STREET IN "THE
CONQUEST OF CANAAN
Conquered by Thomas Meighan in
Picture After Many Thrill

ing Experiences.
There's "Main Street" that runs
through Canaan" the mythical city
which Booth Harrington wrote about
in "The Conquest of Canaan" In
Canaan were some who were respecta-
bic and others who were not. Once
you were placed in the latter class,
it was next to impossible to live down
the disgrace.
Here, the respectables looked up
to Judge Pike as their leader. His
word was law. The unrespectable &C
cepted him because they knew that
he owned their homes, their saloons
and had their lives in the hollow OF
his hand.
AS the title suggests, Main Street
in Canaan was conquered and by two
of the unrespectables, Joe Louden and
Ariel Tabor. Ariel was fortunate
enough to inherit money which took
her to Paris. Joe could not bring
himself to conform with the Main
Street conventions which aroused such
prejudice within him that he was

forced to leave town to carve out
a better career.
The development of this interesting
plot, which brings out the bigness
as we'll as the pettiness of middle
size town, is illustrated in the Para
mount perturbation of "The Conquest
of Canaan" which will be shown at
the Academy theatre today and to-
morrow. Thomas Meighan, as Joe
Louden, stars in the picture and
Doris Kenyon in the role of Ariel
Tabor plays the leading feminine part.

Mothers Club Meets.

The Mothers Club held it's June
meeting with Mrs. w. H. Welch on
Friday afternoon with fifteen men,
bers present, the president presiding.
An interesting paper on "The Right
and Wrong Ways to Train a Child
the First Twelve Years of It's Life"
wss read by Mrs. J. W. Swittenberg.
A second paper, which is one of a
series that will be taken up by taken
up by the club, was read by Mrs. H.
L. Prosser, on "The Story of Life
for Children"
The main business of the afternoon
was a discussion of the kindergarten
for another year. 1t was stated by
the president that Mrs. L. w. Gil
land had signifed the fact that she
would be unable to teach in the kim
dergarten next session, should it be
continued. The club then asked Mrs.
Swittenberg if she would undertake
the position of teacher, with the un-
derstanding that she would engage
an assistant-Mrs. Swittenberg ac-
cepted the offer and will attend the
summer school at Winthrop, where
she will take course in kindergarten
work. A discussion as to the advis-
ability of the clubs fostering the
kindergarten followed and it was
unanimously decided that the club
could take up no better work. Re-
marks by the president and Mrs.
Swittenberg made it clear to the club
that the kindergarten is supported
and the teachers salary paid by the
patrons of the kindergarten and not
by the club Last year the club spent
$500 in equipping the kindergarten,
and Mrs. Swittenberg gave an itemiz-
ed account of how this sum was used
and explained that much of the equip
ment was permanent and could be
sold at any time. Mrs. Arrowsmith
appointed committee to secure, if
possible, more commodius quarters
for the kindergarten, as follows: Mrs.
L. w. Gilland, Mrs. J. D. Britton,
Mrs. E. T. Kelley. The committee
appointed to raise money in June re-
ported that $1,000 had been realized
by the sale of lemonade and sand
wiches during court week. The pres
ident stated that the committee for
July would be announced later.
It was decided to adopt the plan
of a year book, as was carried out
last year so that the hostesses may
know in advance when the club will
meet at their homes. The president
called a meeting of the officers for
Tuesday afternoon to assist her in
arranging the year book, which will
be submitted to the club at the July
meeting.
At the conclusion of the meeting
the hostess, assisted by Mrs. E. c.
Burgess, served ice cream and cake.
