FAIR A SUCCESS

We take this opportunity to ex-
press our appreciation and thanks to
all who so LOYALTY supported the fair
which was held at Mt Zion M. E
Church. November IL and IL. We
regret very much that greater in
terest was not given to the success
of the program by all of the churches
and people of the town and vicinity.
We learn for several reasons of
which no one had any right to OBJ
iect. whatever he wanted to make
contribution to such a program that
would serve to lift and elevate the
race and give them an opportunity to
enter upon a procedure of various
trades and activities, and paw
larger contribution to civilization.
Permit me to ask a question, ''who
has limited the abilities. qualifica-
tions and matriculations that lift and
broadens the minds of men? Who
loves to cooperate with mind more
than Nature? The cry is to our
people. prepare, get in line, offer a
challenge, make opposition, an in
spiration. create q cooperative spirit
that will bring us together and do
away with our selfish-endeavor. We
must do away with the thought that
we can live in America. as the tribes
do in other countries. Let me ap-
peal again to the people of jefferson
County. and especially those who
supported the fair. which was a great
success, and one of the greatest dis
plays ever held in Charles Town to
spread the propaganda that creates
industry. We are asking the people
to give it a radio broadcast We
feel that no greater message could
be sent that would mean so much to
our people: that there is greater
need for a higher civilization to be
conducted on broad base among
the people. We endeavored to cheer
the hearts of our loyal supporters BY
the way of a few premiums as prizes
which were heartily received. We
also want to express our apprecia-
ton on the part of the white ladies
of the town. who took an observa
ton of the exhibit. We heartily ap
preciate and thank Mr. Gardner, one
of our eminent millers of Leetown
who gave the premiums on the bread
We want to say in voicing the senti
ment of those who supported tn,
program. 1t was a worthy contri
button they made. and it was highl,
appreciated by all.

NATIONAL u. FAVORS
DISABLED VETERANS
Last Glass Under Vocational
Training to Be Graduated
Next June.

Completion of training of the dis
abled veterans of the World War will
end with the close of the present
academic year in June at the National
University, which has graduated sew
eral hundred of these men.
Many of the students enlisted in the
war before they had completed their
high school education, others had not
had the advantage of the usual aca-
denic training requisite for profess
Sional study, but because of their
patriotic services the university ad-
mitted them as regular students in
order to fit them for professional posi-
tions, their wartime injuries being
such as to prevent their return to
-bellum occupations.
National University has had one of
the most active and largest chapters
of the National Disabled Veterans
League, which is seeking to have Con-
gress extend the terms of vocational
training so that it will include men
still in hospitals.

He has gone down in its history as its

Nobody knew much and perhaps
cared less about the affairs and the

Monday last the villagers were amazed
to learn he had left a fortune of more
than 100000. nearly all of which
was left for the improvement of the

This money will go chiefly into the
construction of a public gymnasium

hill specified in detail that he believed
the gymnasium should be erected in

FLAPPER'S RIGHT TO BOB
LOCKS is QUESTIONED
Djon Magistrates Will Decide
Momen tous Question on Au-
thority of Young Girls.

BY Cable to The Star and New York World
PARIS. October 31.-November 6
will be an important date for all
French fiappers as well as the fathers
of all French f1apperS. on that date
the magistrates of Dijon are to decide
once for all whether a barber may
bob the hair of a girl under legal age
without the consent of her parent or
guardian.
1t seems that in Dijon one of these
oId-fashioned, ultra-cOnserVative ia
theirs had forbidden his daughter to
suCCumb to the prevailing fashion, and
one night when she appeared for din
ner minus her blonde crowning glory
he became exceedingly irate. WhGt
he did to daughter does not appear
in the pleadingS, for French fathers
still follow ancient fashions, but after
ward he brought action against the
surprised barber, charging him with
using his shears and clippers without
consent beforehand.
Before the magistrates the barber
could only ask: IF we had to get the
written consent of parents every time
we cut the hair of young girls, how
could we ever get through our work.
The magistrates lodged this question,
looked grave, consulted at length and
then studied photographs of the fair
maiden before she had fallen under
the scissors Finally they decided that
# would take a fortnight at least for
them to look up all the law and prece-
dents in the case, If any, and ad-
iourned to announce their decision
next Friday.
To show the interest in the case it
NAV be said that arrangements have
already been made to broadcast the
decision straight from the courtroom
and Dijon is beginning to think that it
NAV have a minor Scopes trial on
hand.

LONDON, October 31.-Viewing with
patriotic alarm disclosures that the
ancient, honorable and weighty Christ

British at all. but composed of about
IS per cent of American and Near
Eastern fruits and spices, the Aus

the British can point to with pride
as an empire product when the tradi-
tional Christmas dessert is served is
the delicate blue alcoholic flame of
burning brandy, but the Australians
wish to go much further toward max
ing the national delicacy an all British
affair.
They have girded themselves for
an advertising battle against Califor-
mia and Mediterranean products, and
in full-page layouts in the newspapers
are singing the praises of imperial
raisins, spices and other ingredients.

pare and serve rich, tasty connections

load Of alleged beer from Sayre, Pa,
to Auburn, were unable to agree on a
verdict in United States court this
evening and were discharged by Judge
Frank Cooper of Schenectady.
The Government contended that the
railroad violated the law by not hav-
ing all packages in the car properly
labeled and in not having reports on
permits of the consigner, authorizing
the manufacture and sale of cereal
beverage products.
The railroad contended that the car
seized was handled the same as all

Federal prohibition agents on August
5 was illegal and made without prob
able cause of crime having been COM
mitted.
