Fraukl'n, - Closer Co-operation to Result From Conference Closer co-operation between the League ot Nations and the Fldac, In terallied Association of World war veterans, will result from the recent visit to Geneva, Switzerland, of Thom as W, Miller of the American Legion, president of the Fldae. After Conference. with the secretary general oMhe League, Sir Eric Drum mond, Mr. Miller was asked to select a member of the Fldac as a permanent member of the staff of the league. Among the suggestions for closer co operation between the league and Fldac were the Inclusion of a, repre sentative of the organized ex-service men in the various national delegations sent to the league, and the establish ment of a closer contact between the central services of the league and the Fldac as to the actual facts and ten dencies of league work In so far as it affects the major work of peaceful co operation. President Miller, previous to his visit to Geneva, had made a week's tour of England In the Interest of the veterans', association he heads. He addressed In London the national ex ecutive committee of the British Le gion, which 'had gathered from all parts of GreaJ Britain, Scotland and Ireland. Miller stated that In England he found the British ex-service men facing the same problems, as those In America, and that the British Legion was making the same fight' for the dis abled as the American Legion Is mak ing In America. Announcement of American Legion members on the council of direction of the Fldac Was made recently in Paris, Fidac headquarters, by Mr. , Miller. They are: Benjamin H. Conner, de partment commander of the Legion in France; Edwin W. Thorn, commander of Paris post; Dr. Edmund L. Gros, physician to the American hospital; Francis Jacques, architect; Leon Fra ser, assistant counsel, reparations com mission 'r A. W. Kipling and Laurence V. Benet. The next convention at Fldac will b9 held In Rom next September. THE MUNICIPAL PLAYGROUND Since the town itself seems' to take no interest in a municipal playground Rev. E. J. Pjpes, rector of the Episco pal church;' has constructed a play ground in rear of his church. The playgiound was built largely at his own expense and to a considerable extent by the sweat of his own brow. The ground contains a tennis court, ! asU t ball courtt volley ball court horizontal'-bars, etc. Rev. Pipfcs v.she the Press to announce that the playground is intended for the use of the public and is to all- intents and purposes a municipal playground. He cordially invites the citizens' of the town and the visitingpublic to make use of this playground, Rev. Pipes has shown a commend able spirit in preparing ' a place of recreation for the public and we feel sure that Franklin and our summer visitors will take advantage of the re sult.? nf his labors and make use of !: is Recreational center. Mh Hour Still Progressing The Idle Hour Theatre has juSt con cluded a contract whereby it bought approximately $1,000 worth of pic tures for use in Franklin, These pic-tiiix-s .ire. all new and will be received and 'shown in Franklin contemporan eouly with theatres in the cities. The Idle Hour thus places itself in the front -rank of picture theatres in this part of the ttate. Ever on the look out for gcod t,ittures this theatre has arranged to bring to Franklin for the Fourth-' -of July celebration "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," undoubt edly and beyond any question, the greatest picture ever screened. Very; few towns of the size of Franklin are able to book this picture. The com ing, of this great picture scores an other triumph for the Idle Hour. Beautify the school grounds. MY BUSINESS Beautify the school grounds. Is selling Life Insurance, which is, by the business ..world in general, regarded as the highest secular calling there is. BECAUSE Life Insurance feeds widows and orphans, maintains the home, educates the children and preserves the family integrity It appeals to the very best there is jn every man -and is a means of systematic and ce: tain savings. for the young unmarried man.

Macon county has natural climatic and scenic advantages unsurpassed in the entire South. Here there are no hot nights, no mosquitoes, no malaria, few contagious and malignant diseases. A complete change of mountain scenery can be found with every half mile traveled, often with every hundred feet. Fishing, swimming, camping, hunting and motoring are among the out-of-door recreation-' til possibilities. And for those who seek an ideal location for quiet and rest, these sympathetic old mountains offer a sure haven. This beautiful country is now being opened up to the outside world in an adequate manner. Hard surfaced roads are coming through Macon county, and a very few years will bring hundreds of tourist automobiles where now there is one. People are coming. The world has discovered us, and somebody will develop our untouched resources. Shall we do this ourselves, or shall we allow outside capital to reap the rich reward which is by heritage ours? The LAKE EMORY COMPANY is a local company, composed of local men, to develop local territory. Our holdings consist of several hundreds of acres of ideally situated land lying v on both sides ofthe Little Tennessee River along the beautiful lake which will result from Frank lin's hydro-electric power dam. This property is to be cut into residential lots, and sold for sum mer home sites. , . , . That the proposition will pay the stockhold ers a substantil return on investment, there can be no.dtiubt. On the other hand, the value of the development to Franklin and Macon county can hardly be estimated. Sufficient it is to know that every family located in a summer residence on Lake Emory will be an asset both socially and financially. Franklin aspires to acquire ten thousand.such assets within the next five years. The LAKE EMORY COMPANY are pioneers in this'development program. Others will fol low. Just as in Florida, numerous fortunes will be made in this sort of residential development in Western North Carolina during the next few years. It is indeed a pleasure for us to feel that Ma- county is in the direct path of such assured prO- Office Bank of Franklin Building ' "w v, , Franklin, North Carolina
