LEGION TO CONSIDER
PP0RlEM OF ORPHANS.
Al. FRISCO WEE TING
VIII Recommend Building Of
Hcrnes in Various Parts Of
Country By Government
LAND MONEY OFFERED
Many Legionnaires Of National
Prominence Compose Commit
tee in Charge of Problem

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 25-How
to care for from 100000 to $780,
coo orphans of the world war is
the problem the American Legion
will consider at its national con
vention in San Francisco, October
1919.
Tentative plans for this project,
which experts believe will be as
difficult as that of relief for dis
abled veterans were considered at
recent meeting of the legion's
war orphans committee in Indian
apolis. While definite statistics
are not available, it is estimated
that the greatest number who must
receive assistance of some kind
from municipalities, counties,
states, the federal government or
the legion will be 100000.
The committee will recommend
the building of number of ma
tional homes in various parts of
the country for dependent children
OF legion members and service men
not members of the legion who
died before May l, 1919.
in addition to the national homes
supplementary system will be
inaugurated whereby dependent
children can be placed with foster
parents, after careful investigation
The welfare of the children will
be guarded by local legion posts
after they have been placed in
private homes, according to the
committee.
The committee will ask the ma
tional gathering for authority to
accept gifts of suitable buildings,
money and sites. A~number of Of
fers have already been made to the
legion of land and money. Among
them is 388 acres of land and
$125,OO0 offered by Dan Dabney,
OF independence, Kan, and the
Kansas department of the legion
Another offer has come from Geo!
l.. Berry, president of the Tnterna-
tl9nal Printing Pressmen's Union.
former natiooal vice-commander of
the legion, who has asked the or
sanitation to accent zoe acres Of
Tennessee land, valued at $4,000.
T The committees decision was
reached after it had heard the
testimony of many experts in child
welfare and the care of orphans,
Including G. w, Areson. New York,
director of the Child Welfare
league Of America; William P. Me-
Lean, suuerintendent of the BOYS
lndustrial school at Topeka, Kan. !;
a N. Farmer, Des Moines. who

for the Brotherhood Of American
Woman; DR.. Frederick A. Perry.
OF Adrian. Mich, superintendent Of
the American Legion's Children's
Billet of Michigan and Luther.
Short, superintendent of the Indi-
ana soldiers and sailors home.
Members of the orphans com
mittee include legionnaires of ma
tional prominence who are we'll
qualified to consider the problem.

meeting were: George A. Withers.

gave their program in the school
auditorium.
The most interesting feature of
the program was "Moek Facul-

selection of characters being fitted
so perfectly to impersonate the
member assigned. Following is the
cast of characters: Mr.. France,
Clarence Dasher. When he started
telling jokes, everyone knew i'm
mediately that he was impersonat-
ing Mr.. France. Mr.. Owens, Hugo
Bradley. The grace displayed in
directing the music would have in
terested anyone, knowing Mr.. Ow-
ems ability for singing. Mrs. Hin
son, Catherine Colline. 1t happen
ed to be Mrs. Hinson's morning to
lead chapel, so she began by sing
ing her favorite song, Coward
Christian Soldiers" Then she read
the Scripture lession, it always be-
ing the following Sundays lesson.
Then came the announcements. Mr..
Caswell, impersonated by Henry
Salter, gave several OF his favorite
announcements. Mr.. Waller, i'm
personated by Paisley Watley, gave
his favorite announcements to the
football team, saying they must not
eat sweets in any form. Miss Rob-
erts was .impersonated by Grace
Reddick. This was very interest
ing, she being so dainty in dress
and precise in her manners. Mr..
Conner, impersonated by Lawrence
Henderson, was very good. Miss
Mcdonald was impersonated bv
Georgia DeLoach. Following the
''Mock Faculty" were some favorite
jokes by our class joker, Verlie
Wilson, one of these being: Miss

pears were stored away for the VIM

The Senior girls worked diligent-
ly under the supervision of Miss
Margaret Mcdonald. home econom-
les instructor, and Mr.. Waller, as.
sistant agriculture teacher. The
girls showed their ability by fol-
lowing instruction, ahdsa result ev-

outfit was made by the boys under
the instruction of Mr.. Conner.
The girls of the school are not
only interested in the preparation
of foods, but since the beginning of
the term each girl has been MAX

Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-09-25


Mr.. Waller used last Monday di-
recting a SQUAD of girls in canning
pears. The pears were grown on
the school farm; the girls were paid
for their work by the hour, and
the boarding department will pay
the farm for the pears at the pre-
vailing market price. BY this plan
the girls are enabled to earn part
of their school expenses, the board
ing department gets a good supply
of Wholesome food, and the farm
makes profit from the pear crop.
Those boys who work on the
farm for pay this. year are given
credit for their work at fifteen
cents per hour. They are not paid
in cash, but the amount is applied
on their board. This plan gives
the work to those who are willing
to earn their expenses and who
could not otherwise attend school.
Mr., Caswell says that one of the
requisites to successful farming is
the use of labor saving devices.
For this purpose, equipment has
been installed in the school barn
for unloading hay by horsepower.
1t is usually considered necessary
to have a specially designed barn
for such equipment but the one be-
ing used here can be installed in
almost any harm. Farmers who
have a good deal Of hay to house,
would do well to visit the school
farm and inspect Ibis equipment.
