"Damon and Pythias" is the drama to be presented at the North Canton Community House on Saturday evening', April 7. The drama and a min- istrel .show "Twenty (K) nights in a Bar Room" is being staged under the auspices of Loyalty Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of North Canton, In celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the national Order of Knights of Pythias.

PATRIOTIC MOVIE HERE ON APRIL 21 Shut your eyes tight for a little while. Your other senses come into play. You Seel a cold air driftingin and rise to close a window, "ion stumble into the" furniture and grope about with your hands. The window in higher up than you thought, and when you reach for it your hand finds nothing. You stagger and almost fall. You start back, and for a moment vou feci the darkness all about you, with all its possibilities for harm. Your eyes start open, and you draw in your' breath sharply on becoming aware again of the sunlight and all the familiar objects about vou. Suddenly you have been made aware of the blessing of your eyesight. . This is the message embodied m The American Legion photoplay, "The Man Without a Country." We take too much for granted in our appreciation of America. We forget how very greatly the ordering of our whole lives is based on the underlying fact that this country has given us birth. Our security, our progress, our circle of friendships, the very establishment of our homes, all that makes life worthy and promising is based on the establishment of our country with its laws and its great traditions. The concept of our country is the daylight of the soul. Like the light of the sun, it is given us all so freely that sometimes we forget. The picture which The American Legion will present in the Community House on Saturday, April 21, is tlie story of a man who shut his eyes to the "daylight and foreswore his countrv. It is well worth seeing. A baseball club for North Canton! The real kind! One that is going after the semi-professional championship of Ohio! 0, boy! Gel, out tbe band and let everyone join the parade. Now we know that Spring has sprung. In the big Hoover plant axe a number of men who have played baseball as it should be played, and they are still capable of delivering a brand of goods that will cause the fans to stand on their toes and yell with glee. The following men are going to put on uniforms this summer: Storch, Hildebrand, Gygli, C. Evans, Bowers, Steadman, Schiltz, Frye, Peg Evans, Jim Edwards and Matthews. When the manager signs a good right-hand pitcher the team will be all set and ready to work hard for the championship. Games are to be played on the North Canton grounds every Saturday afternoon and there will be ^lid- week twilight games. New uniforms have been ordered and they will be ready for the men to wear at thc opening game on Saturday, April 28. The management has decided to sell a season ticket of ten games for $3. The sale of tickets begins on April 20. Now, altogether, ladies and gentlemen ! Thank you! That yell had the true ring. Let's get behind the men and buy tickets. A winning baseball club is a splendid advertisement for a town. It also give people a chance to blow off steam, and it is tlie safety valve of American people, keeps down our grouch and makes us happy.

TO SELL LOTS Beginning this Thursday and continuing until Saturday night Schafer & Messerly, the enterprising North Canton druggists, have in force what is called a "One Cent Sale." This means that any article listed under that head in today's Sun will be sold it the standard price and a second article presented to you upon the payment of one cent. In plain words, if vou buy a 25-cent tube of tooth paste you will receive two tubes for 20 cents. This is an excellent opportunity to stock up on toilet goods, household remedies, brushes, flashlights, stationery, candies, hot water bottles and a dozen other articles used by the buying public. Then, too, Schafer & Messerly have several hundred articles which they will sell at a special reduction during the sale.. The Sun is aware that the reader? of this newspaper are too intelligent to "skip" the advertisement:', in this newspaper, consequently it is not necessary to remind them that they take a pencil and check off the articles they need, or will need. The One-Cent Sale advertisement will be found on page six of The Sun. This community is fortunate in having the opportunity to buy high-grade , goods at such a figure as advertised in the big One-Cent Sale.

PATRIOTIC MOVIE
HERE ON APRIL 21
Shut your eyes tight for a little
while. Your other senses come into
play. You Seel a cold air driftingin
and rise to close a window, "ion
stumble into the" furniture and grope
about with your hands. The window
in higher up than you thought, and
when you reach for it your hand finds
nothing. You stagger and almost
fall. You start back, and for a moment vou feci the darkness all about
you, with all its possibilities for
harm. Your eyes start open, and you
draw in your' breath sharply on becoming aware again of the sunlight
and all the familiar objects about
vou. Suddenly you have been made
aware of the blessing of your eyesight. .
This is the message embodied m
The American Legion photoplay,
"The Man Without a Country." We
take too much for granted in our
appreciation of America. We forget
how very greatly the ordering of our
whole lives is based on the underlying fact that this country has given
us birth. Our security, our progress,
our circle of friendships, the very
establishment of our homes, all that
makes life worthy and promising is
based on the establishment of our
country with its laws and its great
traditions. The concept of our country
is the daylight of the soul. Like the
light of the sun, it is given us all so
freely that sometimes we forget.
The picture which The American
Legion will present in the Community House on Saturday, April 21, is
tlie story of a man who shut his eyes
to the "daylight and foreswore his
countrv. It is well worth seeing.
A baseball club for North Canton!
The real kind! One that is going
after the semi-professional championship of Ohio!
0, boy! Gel, out tbe band and let
everyone join the parade. Now we
know that Spring has sprung.
In the big Hoover plant axe a number of men who have played baseball
as it should be played, and they are
still capable of delivering a brand of
goods that will cause the fans to
stand on their toes and yell with glee.
The following men are going to
put on uniforms this summer: Storch,
Hildebrand, Gygli, C. Evans, Bowers,
Steadman, Schiltz, Frye, Peg Evans,
Jim Edwards and Matthews.
When the manager signs a good
right-hand pitcher the team will be
all set and ready to work hard for
the championship.
Games are to be played on the
North Canton grounds every Saturday afternoon and there will be ^lid-
week twilight games. New uniforms
have been ordered and they will be
ready for the men to wear at thc
opening game on Saturday, April 28.
The management has decided to
sell a season ticket of ten games for
$3. The sale of tickets begins on
April 20.
Now, altogether, ladies and gentlemen !
Thank you! That yell had the true
ring. Let's get behind the men and
buy tickets. A winning baseball club
is a splendid advertisement for a
town. It also give people a chance
to blow off steam, and it is tlie safety
valve of American people, keeps down
our grouch and makes us happy.

TO SELL LOTS
Beginning this Thursday and continuing until Saturday night Schafer
& Messerly, the enterprising North
Canton druggists, have in force what
is called a "One Cent Sale." This
means that any article listed under
that head in today's Sun will be sold
it the standard price and a second
article presented to you upon the payment of one cent. In plain words, if
vou buy a 25-cent tube of tooth paste
you will receive two tubes for 20
cents.
This is an excellent opportunity to
stock up on toilet goods, household
remedies, brushes, flashlights, stationery, candies, hot water bottles and
a dozen other articles used by the
buying public.
Then, too, Schafer & Messerly have
several hundred articles which they
will sell at a special reduction during the sale.. The Sun is aware that
the reader? of this newspaper are too
intelligent to "skip" the advertisement:', in this newspaper, consequently
it is not necessary to remind them
that they take a pencil and check off
the articles they need, or will need.
The One-Cent Sale advertisement will
be found on page six of The Sun.
This community is fortunate in having the opportunity to buy high-grade
, goods at such a figure as advertised
in the big One-Cent Sale.
