ADDRESS WORLD
WAR VETERANS
Banquet for Fx-Service Men
I To Be Held Saturday Ev
ening At Iso-Thermal
Hotel

Rutherfordton, Nov. 6.—Mr. R. G.
Cherry, state commander of the
American Legion, of Gastonia, will
be the principal speaker at the ban
quet for ex-service men at the Iso
; Thermal Hotel Saturday evening, No
vember 10, at 7:30.
The Fred Williams Post, No. 75,
i American Legion, of Rutherfordton,
!is sponsoring the banquet. An at
j tempt is being made to get out as
I many ex-service men of the county
' as possible for this banquet. All ex
service men are urged to attend, re
i gardless of whether they received a
| letter or not. The committee in
j charge is sending out letters to as
] many of the men as are known, but
I since they do not have a complete
j list of all men of the county who
• served in the war, and their address
es, it is impossible to notify all of
them. The enly condition attached is
each man who wishes to attend is
j requested to notify the Iso-Thermal
| hotel or R. E. Price, Rutherfordton,
| not later than Friday so that the ho
! Tel may have a sufficient number of
plates provided for the banquet,
i Plates will be seventy-five cents
each.
. A regular program will be put on
in addition to the speaking and the
banquet.

WHY COUNTRY BOYS WIN
.
Despite the great increase in city
population in recent decades, country
i boys, that is boys raised on farms or
j in small towns, still seem to capture
their share of the professional world.
The two richest men in America,
Ford and Rockefeller, both* were
country boys, and so likewise was
ithe world's greatest inventor, Edison.
The president is a farm boy, and
numerous instances could be cited to
show that outstanding leaders in bus
iness, politics and the professions in
this country were recruited from the
rural districts. This, in spite of the
fact that within the past 50 years
jthe rural population, or those people
i living on farms and in towns, has
j shrunken from about 75 per cent
| to less than 50 per cent of the total
j population.
j There are probably many good
j reasons why the country boys take
.high places. Perhaps one reason is
that the country boy usually arrives
iin a big city without friends or in
fluence, with limited cash, but with
a fine determination to make good
and show the folks back home what
he can do. City boys, on the other
hand, often have relatives and
friends through whose influence they
get a "comfortable berth" to start
off with, and they gradually settle
down to the business routine of a
big corporation, enjoy the numerous
diversions of a big city where they
are thoroughly at home, and where
the demands on their spare time are
so heavy that it takes a Spartan de-
Labor Head Asks
Nation's Workers to
Support Red Cross
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in
Washington, calls upon the workers
of the nation to support the twelfth
annual roll call of the American
Red Cross, November 11-29, in the
following statement:
"Through the American Red
Cross we find expression for some
of our noblest ideals. It is an ef
fective instrument for magnifying
many times our personal service
to humanity.
"In the face of great disasters,
when the injured and homeless run
into the thousands, there is little
we can do individually. Consolidat
, ing our strength through member
ship in this great organization, our
opportunity for service is unlim
ited.
We must not forget that every
day is a day of disaster to thou
sands. Into homes where disaster
strikes your Red Cross goes in your
name to be friend and counselor to
those ufcon whom misfortune has
laid her heavy hand.
"As President of the American
Federation of Labor, I hope and
feel confident that the workers of
the nation will respond to the Red
Cross Roll Call and have a part in
this organizations great work."
(Signed)
WILLIAM GREEN,

termination to study insteady of

. The country boy, determined to
show his folks and friends that he
can make good in the big town,
"saws wood"; his superiors notice the
difference -between his attitude and
that of those who are satisfied with
a comfortable, wellpaying job, and
the result is that they advance the
"hayseed" to more important posi
tions when the opportunity offers.
