By HELEN GRANDLE
The campaign is now progressing
at a rapid gait and the live contestants are busy day and night after
subscriptions. They realize that the
biggest campaign ever held in this
section of the state is now in progress and that in the entire county and
adjoining counties the people are
talking about the prizes offered by
The Sun and are planning on getting
behind their favorite contestants and
show their friendship in the right
way.
It is conceded by those who have
made a study of circulation, that no
time is so well suited for getting subscriptions as at the present, and especially is that true in this county,
where one can get the best weekly
newspaper in Stark county for $2.00
per year. One well-to-do farmer from
this vicinity was in the office this
week, subscribed for The Sun and
while doing so remarked, "1 cannot
see why a farmer or any one else
should pay from $5 to $7 per year
for a daily newspaper, when he can
get as newsy a paper as this for the
small price of $2.00 per year." Of
course we heartily agreed with him,
and told him it was our impression
that several hundred people in the
county were of the same opinion as
himself, as several hundred new subscribers had already been added to
the list since the campaign started.
Everyone wants a clean newspaper
and contestants will not find it hard
to secure new subscriptions, if they
take a little time each day to go after
them.
Contestants are warned against
waiting with their subscriptions until
the last week, in the belief that a
larger vote offer will be given at that
time, for each week the EXTRA
VOTE OFFERS get appreciably
smaller and the "wise worker" will
go out and make the utmost ofNeach
week's offer, and let next week'6 offer
take care of itself. Make your hours
and moments count big each week.
That is the ONLY way to be successful.
Here is Your Next Best Chance to Win
From Thursday, March 13, to Wednesday, March 19.
On the first eight new subscriptions
you secure, I will double the regular
number of votes, every new one
after the first eight will count
TRIPLE, or three times the regular
scale of votes. If any one contestant
secures a string of 25 new subscriptions the entire string will be counted
triple. This means simply this: if
you get only three or four new subscribers you will receive only the
regular scale of votes with no extra
votes whatever, but if you get eight,
then they will count DOUBLE. Ten
new ones would count double votes on
eight and triple votes on two. AND if
you get a string oi twenty-five new
ones, they would count just three
times the regular scale. Should you
get ten for ten years each it would
mean just ONE MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND VOTES,
(1,500,000). Is it worth going after?
I should say YES.
FOR  OLD SUBSCRIBERS  ONLY
From Thursday, March 13,  to Wed
nesday, March 19.
$16.00 in old subcriptions will
count 25,000 Extra  Votes.
$32.00 in old subscriptions will
count 65,000 Extra Votes.
$48.00 in old subscriptions will
count 120,000 Extra Votes.
THIS is a DOUBLE offer and must
be handled accordingly; set your figure high, then go and win. THIS is
your GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
Learn From the Parable of the Foolish Man.
We read in the scriptures of the
foolish man who built his house upon
the sands and who lived to see his
accomplishment wiped out in the first
storm. It is an equally foolish thing
to build anything in the world upon
an insecure basis. Any business
founded upon a fundamentally unproductive plan is surely doomed to ruin.
Any plan of procedure based upon a
wrong principle will certainly collapse.
Thus any candidate who fails to base
his or her plan of campaign upon the
idea of industry and persistence is
sure to be disappointed when the
prizes are awarded. Even as the foolish man was wrong from the very
start of the operation, so that candidate is building his or her hopes on
a false comprehension of the situation
who is willing to drift up to the finish of the contest and then hope to
pull through with the assistance of
the Goddess of Luck. The short answer to all this is simply this, that if
any candidate expects to get in on
the distribution of the profits, he or
she MUST get on the job and stay
there from now on until the end. 24
days is little enough time to devote
to the winning of prizes so very valuable.
Avoid thc Common Mistake
Thoughout the contest many people
have made promises to subscribe.
Wherever that is the case the contestant to whom the promise was made
will, if he or she is wise, write down
that promise with the date after the
name and will at the proper time go
around and see to it that the prom-
iser makes good. Failure to handle it
in this systematic manner has in the
past caused certain candidates to lose
out when victory was within their
grasp.
This week we have an entirely new
vote winning proposition, one that will
never come again. This offer will
allow the hustling contestants to roll
together several hundred thousand
votes in a week's time. You have two
separate offers to work for, study
them out carefully then GO IN AND
WIN.

COMMUNITY HOUSE
IS GOING FORWARD
Wednesday Morning, March 12,
the Membership Totaled 1021,
a Lead of Twelve Over Last
Year, and People Were Still
Joining and Paying Their
Dues When The Sun Went
To Press.
WOMEN ORGANIZE
Adopt Constitution and Bylaws
and Prepare For Work.
WE CANT DO WITHOUT IT
1021.
The above figures represented the
actual membership of the North Canton Community Building on Wednesday morning, March 12, and the list
was still growing when The Sun went
to press. This is an increase of
twelve  over last year.
There are so many excellent reasons why the people are enthusiastically backing the Community Building that it would require a page of
The Sun to tell them all.
One is that it meets the requirements of the community.
Another  is   that  it  lives   up  to   its
namei
Another, and this is a big factor, is
that you are assured courteous
treatment when you enter the building. There is no "lording it over people" in that handsome edifice. The
executive secretary, the heads of the
various departments and every employe know that they are there to
.serve you. They also know that if
they indulged in overbearing conduct
they wouldn't last longer than the
time it takes to grab their hats and
get out.. But the self-important class
are not on the payroll of the Community Building. Everyone, from
Fred Casady clown to the office boy,
is a gentleman or a lady, and to
them should go a few bouquets for
making the House the great success
it is with the public.
When Boss Hoover presented this
magnificent yet home-like building to
the people of North Canton and its
vicinity a few persons were pessimistic about its future. They thought the
enthusiasm of the people would die,
but instead it is increasing with each
year, and when the news reaches The
Boss in Europe that the membership
is growing we'd like to be around to
see the twinkle in his kindly eyes.
Nowhere in the United States in a
town the size of North Canton is
there such a place as the Community
Building, and that the people appreciate it is a sure mark of their intelligence and loyalty to a man who
is ever thinking of ways to improve
the spiritual, mental and physical
condition of  humanity. '
The names of the members will be
published in The Sun next week.
The meeting held in the Commun-
ity Building on Monday night for the
purpose of furthering the work of
forming a clug of North Canton women, was well attended, over one
hundred present in spite of disagreeable weather. The object was to
adopt a constitution and bylaws.
During the business session of the
mass meeting held in February Miss
Maude Taylor, as temporary' chairman,
appointed Mrs. Eleanore Hall, Mrs.
J. H. Mansfield and Mrs. M. A. Cossaboom a committee to draft a constitution and bylaws. These ladies were
ready and presented their work immediately after the meeting opened
on Monday night.
The constitution and by-laws were
read through and then taken up, each
article and section separately, and
finally with a few minor changes
adopted as a whole and "The Woman's
Club of North Canton" became a fact.
The chairman appointed Mrs. Frank
Evans, Mrs. Herman Voneman, Mrs.
R. C. Foster, Miss Clara Mae Gross
a nominaitng committee to present the
names of persons to be voted on for
the officers for the coming, year.-
During the next meeting which will
take place on Monday evening, March
24, election of officers will be held.
In addition to the names submitted
by the nominating committee, at this
meeting, members may nominate from
the floor and election will be by ballot.
After this committee was appointed
the members present gave a rising
vote of thanks to the Constitution and
Bylaws committee.
The charter will be open until the
close of the next meeting. All persons who appreciate being a charter
member are urged to attend the next
meeting in order to get their names
enrolled as charter members and to
help in the election of officers.
The dues for aetive members are
one dollar a vear, and for associate
members two dollars per year. Provision has been made for work along
many lines, departments being formed
according to the wishes of the members.

Six men were sent to Chicago last
night by the Hoover company with
instructions to do their best when they
play in the tournament staged by the
National Bowling Association in that
city. Representatives of 2200 five-
men clubs in the United States will
strive hard to bring glory to their
respective towns, and although North
Canton is probably the smallest place
to enter the contest its name will be
known far and wide when the Hoover
Sweepers get into action.
The party consists of Peg Evans,
Gordon Curry, Art King, John Mas-
line, Lawrence Wolf and Chick Evans.
This is the biggest five-men club
tournament ever put on in America
and star bowlers from Maine to California are in the Windy City to take
part in the fray. Next Year the place
of meeting is Buffalo, N. Y.
The North Canton men occupied a
Pullman sleeper attached to a fast
train.  They will return on Saturday.

hours it takes to see the picutres will

They are being shown in the large
towns and cities.

of the home for children under the

HE HAS RIGHT IDEA
Charles  Schafer  Says "Nothing  Too
Good   For Our  Customers."
Charles Schafer has returned from
Columbus where he spent a week attending the druggists convention. Mr.
Schafer has brought back many new
ideas and declares the most up-to-
date methods are all that will do for
the worth-while folks of North Canton, and that "nothing is too good for
our customers."
MRS. GARMAN HURT
Cut Her Head When She Fell
Downstairs In Home.
Mrs. E. L. Garman of North Main
street fell down the cellar stairs on
Saturday evening, gashing her head
near the right ear and injuring her
shoulder. She was unconscious from
the time she fell until some time on
Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Garman had been to
Canton and after their return Mrs.
Garman started for the basement for
food for the evening meal and does
not recall anything but that she
turned on the light before going
down. It is thought dizziness caused
her to fall. She is still confined to
her bed, but is reported as improving.
 o	
PERSONAL MENTION
D. W. Strausser is around again
after a short siege of illness. Daniel
Webster—like his famous relative—
realizes that a strong constitution is
not only good for a nation, but for
an individual.
Miss Katherine Hamley of Perry is
spending the month of March witli
her sister, Mrs. G. W. Hurlbert. Miss
Katherine is a charming young lady
with an attractive personality.
Mr. and Mrs. James Christopher,
residing at 147 Frederick street, Barberton, Ohio, celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary on Sunday,
March 2, 1924, and a large and happy
crowd met at the house to congratulate a man and woman who have been
an asset to every community in which
they have resided. At the present
time Mrs. Christopher is not enjoying the best of health, but this fact
has not effected her graciousness, and
she received her friends and relatives
with pleasure and made one and all
"feel at home."
Mrs. Christopher is the daughter of
Abraham and Elizabeth Good anil
she was born about two miles from
what was then New Berlin, but is
now North Canton. As a girl Miss
Johanna was a winsome lass so it
naturally followed that when sturdy,
handsome James Christopher came
over from Millersburg to take charge
of the teamsters who were helping the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad construct
its line, he should fall a victim to
her charms.
In course of time they were married in the home of the girl anil
James quit teaming and began farming with his father-in-law. While
there they were regular attendants of
the Christian church  in New Berlin.
Later they moved to Millersburg;
then they went to Ada to reside, and
finally decided to make Barb*rton
their permanent home, where Mr.
Christopher's ability to direct, men
was at once recognized and he was
asked to become deputy street commissioner, a por<ii ion he has Held for
a long time.
Had Ten Children
Ten children have been horn to
Mr. and Mrs. Christopher, six girls
and four boys. Two of the latter died
in infancy. The children present at
the golden anniversary were: Arthur
D.  Christopher,  Mrs.   Anna  M.  Shaw
of Johnson's Comer; Mr. and Mrs. E.
C. Stokes, Painsville, O.; Mr, and
Mrs. Streeter Smith, Firestone Park;
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Christopher, Kenmore; Mr. and Mrs. Paul H. Edwards,
Barberton. Mrs. Lillian Rounk of
Akron and Mrs. James A. Baughman
of Los Angeles, California, were unable to be present.
There are eighteen grandchildren
and rix great-grandchildren. Those
present were: Harold Christopher
and wife; Miss Kathryn Stokes, Karl
Stokes, Miss Geraldine McCartney,
Miss Evelyn McCartney, Master
Glennie McCartney, baby Johanna
Frances McCartney, Master Harold
Edwards, Master Jimmie Christopher,

of town guests were: Mrs. Rachel
Stoner and daughter Esta, Mrs. Berth
Rohr, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Gootl, Mrs.
S. W. Good of North Canton. S. W.
Good was in Tiffin attending a father
and son banquet and cnosequently
was unable to be present. The above
named brothers and sisters of Mrs.
Christopher pre*-en ted them with a
valuable lamp.
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Dorsey of Mt.
Vernon gave a beautiful hand painted
picture. The children and grandchildren gave a Victrola and many other
handsome and   useful  articles.
A picnic dinner was served at 12:30
and it would take a column to tell of
the good things to eat on the table.
A large and 1-euutiful cake topped
with many candles added pleasure to
the occasion. An interesting program
was held in the afternoon, and selections by Wolf's Saxiphone Sextette of
Kenmore gave additional joy to the
day.

WAYNESBURG PLAYS
HERE ON SATURDAY
N. C. Hi Basket Rail Tossers
Must Win If They Are To
Keep Their Record Clear As
Conquerors of League Teams.
JINX   PURSUES THE  GIRLS
On Saturday the North Canton high
school basket ball team plays Waynesburg in the Community Building.
This is the most important game of
the season, and the local boys must
win if they are to maintain their
clear record in the county.
On Saturday, March 22, Magnolia
will be the opponent of the N. C. H.
in the last home played contest of
the season. The school expects the
people to liberally support these two
games.
The girls basketball team of the
high school need to bury their jinx.
To date they have lost three games
by the narrow margin of one point.
Last Friday night was no exception.
Leading Greentjown 7-6 until the
last minute of play, one of the
Greentown girls made a one-handed
shot for the basket and it never
touched the rims. Very shortly
afterward the whistle blew and
Greentown had won 8-7.
The Boys' Game
The boys in their game showed a
complete reversal of form over their
game at Lehman high school the week
before. Whereas before team work
had been lacking, it was very much
in evidence at Greentown and the
team played as a unit. Score, North
Canton,  28;   Greentown,  6.
HARRY EVANS GETS RACK
Spent   Several    Days   At   the   Lurg?
Hoover Plant In Canada.
Hairy Evans who had been spending several days in Hamilton, Ontario, looking over the physical condition of the big Hoover plant in that
enterprising Canadian city, returned
to North  Canton this week.
When a friend asked Harry if the
weather was cold in The Land of
Snows he replied: "The climate i.s a
hit frosty at this time of year up
there, but the people are warmhearted and warm-blooded, so a visitor doesn't notice what the thermometer is doing."
Harry has a host of friends in
Hamilton, as in fact he has wherever
ho is known, and they always have
the glad hand ready for him to shake
when he drops in to see them.
The Facts Against  It
Wigg—Do you believe in heredity'!
Wagg—No;    the    Father   of   His
Country could not tell a lie, but you
don't  find  any  of his  children  with
the same trouble.
BEFORE THE SCREEN
"The Judgment of the Storm"
Ranks High As a Picture.
This Friday evening "The Judgment of the Storm" is the stellar attraction at the Community Building.
It is really a good feature, full of
action and with a sincere human
touch. It has the necessary melodramatic punch and the story never loses
grip or interest for a moment. It is
the type of picture which can be
screened anywhere with the surety of
pleasing all classes.
It was written by a novice, Mrs.
Ethel Styles Middleton, the wife of a
Pittsburgh factory man, but ita construction is such that it could form
a model for many a veteran screen
writer. • It sustains the interest and
holds the spectator in suspense all the
way through. An excellent cast
stages the, play.
The usual comedies and educational
reels will be shown.

Basketball   vs.   Football
Middle western collegians, pursuin'-
graduate studies in the east, are ford
of telling easterners how basketball
next to football, is the most popular
college sport in the "Big Ten." Thoy
are unable to understand why the
court game is not better received in
Boston and New England. Proof that
basketball in the Mid-West is as popular as its proponents claim is provided
in attendance figures for the recent
Ohio State-Purdue contest in Columbus when 10,(113 persons paid to see
the game. That crowd is in marked
contrast to those attending basketball
games at Harvard, where about 500
spectators make an excellent basketball crowd.
