to sign Charles Chaplin to a five
year contract at 5000 a week and 40
per cent of the net. But Essanay
offered Chaplin fiat $4,000 and
Wood not only permitted him to go,
but advised him to take it. In the
80 years that have elapsed since he

hand Wood has learned plenty.

SALEM NEWS
BY Sue Herman

Salem. O., Nov. Sit may be
a little late to congratulate the
winners of the bowling tourna-
ment at Lorain. but better late
than never. So congratulations to
all those who received trophies
and also double congratulations
to Lorain for their splendid bowl
ing and for showing our Jrs. such
a swell time. Also thanks for Civ
ing one of our bowlers, Miss
Gertrude Girscht. that opportuni-
to to show her ability in making
speeches. Everyone in Salem is
still talfing about it.
The other big affair of the month
was also successful and it certain
ly was good to see so many Sax
ons turn out, mainly for the pur-
pose OF being present for the
Honor Roll Dedication" pro-
gram. I'm sure that your yarents
who submitted those much re-
quested photographs for this
handpainted masterpiece, feel
proud to have your sons picture
among the many others includ-
ed. And you who failed to do so,
can now understand why we
were so anxious for you to CO.
operate Everyone paid tribute to
those many boys, 68 in number
at present, in all branches of SER
vice. and not one was absent
spiritually. And as the president
! of the Ladies Lodge said, we Jrs.
should stay with our parents and
come down the club and keep the
Saxon spirit alive. Although we
were outnumbered by our SEN
iors, the remaining Jrs. were pre-
sent. 1t was nice having Karl
Thesis back from college, sport
ing a blue uniform.
Remember that our regular bu-
siness meetings are held the sec
ond Thursday of every month,
this time being Nov. II.
Hope to see all you Jrs. pre-
sent.

At the end of the road
Through which each must go alone,
And there in a light we cannot see
Our Father claims His own;
Beyond that gate our loved one
Finds happiness and rest
And there is comfort in the thought
That loving God knows best.
We will meet again beyond that gat,
In Gods Palace far away.
Where no sorrow or pain can touch
This is our Beacon Light, of Faith
and Hope and Prayer.
Your loving Husband and

CAPITAL CITY BITS

Columbus. Ohio, Nov. 5-A
swell time was had by all that
iwere at the Halloween Party last
Saturday night. 1t was really a
circus to watch our two friends
Evelyn Farr and Mary Burkley
Their costumes were really ori-
glnal. And if you ever wanted to
see something comical. YOU
should have seen those two. 1t
was sort of hot thought. was not
it, girls: Under all those clothes
and pillows:
Our next regular monthly meet
ing will be held next Thursday
Nov. II, at $50 p. m. at the Sax
on Hall. This will be the last one
before our Victory Dance, Satur-
day, Nov. Fl. Let's all try to be
|present and on time for a change
Get In there and Push those ticket
sales, Juniors, and let's make this
dance huge success and the best
ever.
What is happening to all the
Columbus Saxons, Seniors as
well as Juniors: Take for exam
pie, the Halloween Party. The
committee worked hard to make
this one grand affair and who
turned out? The usual few. A
handful from the Seniors and a
handful from the Juniors. 1t is a
very sad thing to plan something
and have very little cooperation
from all of you. | think the Sen
iors are just as much to blame as
the Juniors.
What has happened to all
those supposed to be faithful
Juniors? There are quite few OF
you who just don't care anymore.
But you are always trying to find
out what goes on at our meet
ins. but do you make any attempt
to be present: To cooperate: To
help your club in every way pos
sible? To be truthful, you aren't,
and you all know it. Juniors, this
is not the way to be. the way to
cooperate, nor the way to make
our club one of the best. Let's all
get down at our next meeting,
and give our point of views on
how to make our club one of the
best and something to make all
you neglectors look forward to
attending. This is a plea for each
and everyone Of you to come
down to work, play and cooper
ate with one another, and make
our club what it used to be.

including Pop" Sam Helms, be-
cause | fell aslepp instead of
writing an article last week, I'm
sitting down in earnest and will
try to give you the latest dope.
Hats off to Lorain for a splen-
did bowling tournament last
week. Everything was nicely
planned and well carried out.
Everyone from East certainly
had a jolly time. Why / have not
seen such happy glow on our
kids faces in long time. With
out question, all were on the
beam and as far as I know none
fell off.
/ was quite sorry to learn of
the serious illness of our Editor
and President of our Branch 80,
Mr.. Geo. Schneider. On the behalf
of our Juniors we wish him a
speedy recovery to full health.
To the Columbus Juniors l
wish to say that Cleveland East
decidedly was entered in the
: tournament and would have done
, much better than third place, only
due to someone's slight miscal-
culation of the laws of gravity
and the theory of projected CO.
ton, not enough pins were upset
off their Axis. thus keeping our
total score slightly lower than the
two teams above us. For further
detailed information. send one
Postum Box Top and three cents

Seriously speaking folks. this

lowing singing rehearsals, the
Cleveland East Saxon Juniors

Saxon fellows is joining up with

be missed by all of us, and espec-
tally by the girls, BECAUSE boy
he sure has accumulated them
many times. So long. and good
luck to you, George.
