BE CONTINUED For the Erection of the Wilson County Memorial Build ing NEED 60,000 DOLLARS There was a small but very en-j thusiastic crowd of Wilson people in the Court Houshe last night who assembled at the call of Chairman Elmer Oettinger of the Wide Awake Wilson committee, which has pledg-j ed its heart and hand and soul to the erection of a Memorial building ( to our boys, the living and the dead who gave of their lives and services that this country and the world might hare liberty and have it more abundantly. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Elmer Oettinger who stated that on account of the va rious drives the past winter, in come taxes and other matters that required the attention and , i JIlUOcj J of on i' people, that the Wide Awake ;t( i..r j .t4.i cnTMQtfci-no- nvn tin Ann . . . . i the $100000 required to erect the building contemplated, to wait until this fall. After a number had spoken en couragingly, and enthusiastically about the matter, Messrs. George Hackney and Louis Tomlinson arose j d said they would greatly increase Mr. George Hackney when called ! on for his views regarding the building and whether to change the plan originally contemplated by the committee stated that he had sub- scribed $1,000, and that he would add another in order to secure Me-' morial to our boys, and he was fol lowed by Mr. Louis Tomlinson who stated that he would be one of ten ' men to give $5,000, and to pay the with $1,000 cash and the balance in a note" that could be discounted at the bank. There was no effort made last night to raise money or to so licit funds, and the promise to back the building with their money is for that reason the more creditable since it came spontaneously from the gen tlemen making the generous offer to give. This followed assertions on the part of a number of speakers who stated that the money must be raised in the towns of the county, since those who had been approach ed in the rural districts by the solic itors, seemed to feel that the people of Wilson would get all the benefit from it when it was intended as. a memorial for al lthe boys of the county whether from town or coun try, and that it would belong to the people of the entire county and all would have the right to enjoy it and should feel that they had the right to enjoy it. The first speaker called on was Mr. W. A. Edgerton, a member of the Wide Awake Committee, who stated that the building must be built and was going to be built.

(Correspondence j of The Associated Press) Removal ' of the censors ip on moving picture films has resulted in a flood of so called explanation films, theoreti cally to instruct the public in moral matters. It is claimed these actually serve an immoral purpose. Denouncing these films Dr. Schweiheimer in the German Medi cal Weekly writes: I i Under the guise of scientific ser- iousnes and alleged education of the public, all possible se problems and developments are pictured in the 'most sensational way. Through such films, which al ready have become a genuine pest to the motion picture business, ex actly the opposite of that is achiev ed which the good film attempts. From the standpoint of social hygiene and the explanation to the public of the dangers that threaten health, these films may be branded as noth ing les t an a rank deception and evil. The efforts toward fighting so cial diseases will make no gain in this way, but are threatened by a new grave danger. CHICAGO WINS SEVENTH GAME By a Score of 4 to 1.
