TO BE MADE THIS WEEK

The American Legion has desig
mated this week for a census of eX-
service men. Investigation has dis
closed the fact that there are many
eX-service men today in actual want
and others who have never fully re-
covered from wounds and illness con-
tracted in service, are not receiving
the full amount of compensation to
which they are entitled.
Throughout the country Legion
posts are combining with the auXil-
iaries and are making a complete can
vass to get all available information
concerning every service man, wheth-
err or not he is a Legion member
Questionnaires have been prepared
by National Headquarters and the
local posts have been supplied with
them. AS a result of this census,
the Legion is hoping to adjust what
ever claims any eX-service men may
have.
The Lakeland Post will combine
with the Auxiliary to canvass this
section and plans will be formulated
tomorrow at joint meeting of COM
mittees from both organizations. A
day will be set as eX-service mems
registration day. and place will be
designated where the men can call
and register. In addition, teams
will be sent out to make a house to
house campaign.
Dr. Jack Halton, the vice comman-
der for the First District of the De-
partment of Florida, has designated
BENZ. Getzoff, Junior Vice Comman
der of the Lakeland post, as county
chairman for this eX-service mems
registration, and plans are now being
formulated to reach every veteran
of the world war in the county.
The Legion is emphasizing the
fact that it is an organization which
is primarily for the aid of ex-service
men, whether or not they are mem
bers of the Legion. Every world war
war veteran is earestly urged to CO.
operate with the Legion posts and
report on registration day. A copy
of the QUESTIONABLE follows and ap-
plicants for compensation or vocation
al training will be able to get the
necessary information from this

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL
Mr.. Fred T. Benford and
Mrs. Katherine Bo6oth
Quietly Married

Mrs. Katherine Bo5oth
Quietly Married
At Noon Yesterday
A wedding in which the entire COM
munity has a most friendly interest,
was solemnized yesterday at noon at
the home of the bride when the words
were spoken by Dr. ]. Edgar Wilson
which united the lives of Mrs. Kathe-
rine Booth and Mr.. Fred T. Benford.
The wedding was very quiet, only
the immediate family of the bride
being present, and so secret and we'll
laid were the plans of the happy cou-
pie that they were able to keep the
news from their friends during the
afternoon, going to Barlow last night
where they took the Fort Myers Sleep
err, leaving here on Train 50 for Jack
sonville, where they boarded the boat
this morning for New York.
The bride has lived in Lakeland for
the past fifteen years, and is one of
the city's most beloved and admired
women, who possesses all those traits
which go to make the ideal wife. For
several years she has been one of
the city's most successful business
women, conducting one of the most
popular boarding houses in Lakeland,
her table being famed far and wide
for its excellence. Her charming per-
sonality and unfailing kindness to all
with whom she comes in contact, be-
ing always ready with helping hand
wherever she could be of service, has
endeared her to a wide circle of de-
voted friends, who wish for her every
happiness and joy in her new relation,
and all who know her life-mate realize
that their every wishS will be fully
realized.
The groom enjoys the highest es-
TEEN of every man, woman and child
in Lakeland who know him-and ev-
erybody knows Fred Benford. He is
one of the city's most successful bust
ness men, the Lakeland Book Store, of
which he is the owner, standing as a
monument to his business ability, this
establishment being a credit to a city
many times the size of Lakeland. He
is prominent in all matters of civic
nature, and is always at the forefront
in all movements looking to the adj
vancement of the city. In all things
he shows excellent judgment, and in
the browning achievement of his life,
which came yesterday as the culmina-
ton of a courtship covering several
years, he proved his ability in this
respect to the supreme degree, and
his friends feel that in every way he
is worthy of the splendid wife he has
won-which is the highest recommen-
dation at our command.
After a months honeymoon, spent
in New York City, Chicago, the
groom's old home in Peoria, Illinois,
and the brides former home in Ma
con, Georgia, the happy couple will
return to Lakeland, at which time
they will be deluged with loving good
wishes and congratulations of all
Lakeland.
