A Michigan inventor has patented a crane to be attached to any wagon to enable one man to pick up a can ot ashes or garbage along a curb and •empty it into the wagon. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION May be Formed to Include Canton, j Waynesville, Asheville In the very near future, asj soon as the flu ban is lifted, it | is proposed to hold a meeting, probably at Asheville, of those who are interested in the proposed plan to form an athletic association for the western part of North Carolina. The plan contemplates the formation of a league of teams from towns within easy travelling distance of one another, including Canton. Waynesville, Hen- dersonviile, and perhaps others. If such a league is formed, the fans here will probably see some good base ball games from about the first of June until early fall. Evangeline. Longfellow's beautiful story is not historical. It was based on the fact of the exnu'ision of the Acadians from Grand Pre, but beyond that the story la fiction. Way She Says It.

Guy, of Company G. 56th Infantry, who has seen overseas service, whose home address is Waynesville, R. 3, writes from Camp Lee, Va., where he is now awaiting his discharge, as follows: "I left home August 6th, 1918, for service in the U. S. Army, and have done my best to be a good soldier. We were down at Spartanburg, S. C, in the hot, sandy country. I thought it was bad, but it was good to what we found after we left there. In about three weeks after leaving Spartanburg we were in that place some folks call 'Sunny France.' We were riding the waves for eleven days and would have been glad to see land anywhere, even though it had been in Germany, for we all had been seasick and wanted to get off the old tub that brought us overseas. Our old boat tied up at the dock about ten o'clock at night. We remained on board till daylight, when we shouldered our guns and packs, and walked down the gangplank and stepped onto French soil. We walked down the gangplank ani stepped onto U. S. soil on December 13th last. I am now at Camp. Lee, Va., awaiting my discharge." CANTON SCHOOL ENTERED Seventh Annual School Debating Contest-Preliminaries Soon Marked interest and contagious enthusiasm are being manifested by the high schools of the State in the seventh annual high school debating contest, the first preliminaries for which will be held early in March. That the query, "Resolved, That the United States Government should adopt the policy of requiring one year of military training of all able bodied men before they reach the age of 21," has struck a responsive chord is evidenced by the enrollment of 175 schools to date. Each school will be grouped with two others in a triangle and each will put out an affirmative and negative team. Those schools winning .on both sides in the second preliminary will be entitled to send representatives to Chapel Hill to participate in the annual wrangle for the Aycock Memorial Cup. The second preliminaries will bf> staged in April, while the filial contest will be held in Chapel Hill in May. To date 175 schools have entered for the 1919 debates and Canton sqhool is one of them.

Her war record which Is now 100 per cent perfect is to bo saved er lost by the success or failure of the War Savings Campaign. Thus far the State has succeeded In Its four Liberty Loans, In its Red Cross, Y. M. C. A and United War Fund Campaigns, and if its record is to remain 100 per cent perfect, it must make a success of Its War Savings Campaign by December 31. The record made by the boys at the front has been a complete success. They have mads a perfect score in efficiency, in courage, in patriotism and in whatever else was necessary to win the war and bring peace to the world. They have nobly responded to every call of their Government, to every demand for justice, to every cry of wronged and suffering humanity. Can the people at horn* afford to have their record of war activities besmirched with the failure of the War Saving* Campaign—the greatest war effort of the year? If the State's fine war record Is to be saved, if the makers of history are to chronicle a perfect score as the citizens' response to every war call of ths Government, then they must make the War Savings Campaign a success by December 31. If the State's envious record of the past Is to remain untarnished In the future and if its citizens are to continue to boast with pride of its accomplishments in war as well as in peace, the one remaining war effort of the year must be successfully finished. The State must raise its full War Savings quota by December 31. North Carolina has never failed, and will not fail this time.
