[By the Pastor]
Easter is the great national go-to-
church day. More go on Easter than
upon any other Sunday in the year.
Christmas should be equally a day to
go to church, but there are other interests in the Christmas season that
dissipate the Christian values.
Rally Day is the go-to-Sunday-
school day.. More go on Rally Day
than upon "any, other Sunday in the
year. For many it suffices for the,rest
of the year. It is a good thing to go
orice, but it is better to go regularly.
The day, however, has little real
religious value apart from records, as
it has no religious significance. It is
~a day of numbering ahd a king got
in trouble once for meddling in such
business.
I for one vote for a day of real
religious values and signficance,
rather than a day of numerically padding the records. Why not make it
a real fall festival that compares with
Easter, with a message and a call to
prayer. It goes without saying that
it will be a record day. Will you be
there? Will you he there every Sun-.
day thereafter ?
There will be special music at both
the church services. The choir is
growing in talent and numbers. The
order of service has distinct religious
values.
The Missionary society will meet on
Wednesday night, Oct. 7. The subject
-will be discussed in the form of a
debate. Since the subject is "Tithing"
it promises'to be an interesting meeting.

Admirers of Will Rogers—and the
list begins with President Coolidge
and goes down the line until it
reaches the nursery—are jubilant over
the announcement that "the' funniest
man in the whole world" will be at
the Auditorium, Canton, on Saturday
night, Oct. 3. With the grinning William are the De Reszke Singers, a
band of vocalists from overseas. The
company comes under the auspices of
the Molly Stark club, Ralph Smith
manager.
This concert tour, The Sup has been
reliably informed, starts on Oct. 1 in
Elmira, N. Y. "All I Know Is What
I Read in the Papers" is the title of
the comedian's part in the entertainment, and seventy-five towns and
cities will be Visited in seventy-five
days.' This means that Charles L.
Wagner, who is managing the tour,
must be able to count accurately and
have a watch that can keep pace with
train time. Such haughty communities as Cleveland wanted Will Rogers
for a week, but as this is the most
sensationally popular event in years,
the town on Lake Erie had to be
satisfied with one night.
That Canton is on the comedian's
itinerary is a sign that this section
of Stark county is appreciated by the
best theatrical managers. The curfew
may ring on Saturday night, but hun-

Frank J. Cool:, rug maker and designer of patterns, is a first-class
specimen of a first-class fighting man
after he quits the service. During the
Spanish-American war Frank was in
the army, and his present crippled
condition is due to injuries received
while a soldier. Many men in his physical condition would be grouchy and
always complaining, but "The Hooked

that he never sees the shadows and
the sunshine in his nature is evident
in the artistic work he does for many
of the most critical people in Canton
and this part of Stark county.
. Several of the leading stores in
Canton, notably MacKenzie & Jones,
place Mr. Cook's hooked rugs on sale,
and from his home he sells the stamped  burlap  upon which hooked  rugs
are made. Recently a writer for The

2ION REFORMED CHURCH-
[By the' Pastor]
Our Sunday-school, instead of using
the Review'lesson last Sunday for the
quarter, furnished a missionary program. This was given by the Jr. G.
M. G. girls, under the direction of
Mrs. Beck. The girls gave us a fine
little program and we want here to
express our appreciation. The offering which was something over fifty
dollars was devoted to missions. It
was our quarterly mission day. The
attendance was 455.
The promotion service at the' church
hour, under the superintendence of
Mrs. Mansfield, was a pleasing and
profitable one. What a fine bunch of
over two hundred children the elementary school can muster! No doubt
such services are beneficial, not only
because of visible signs of advancement on the part of the pupils, but
an opportunity is afforded to effect
with the children a tie-up with the
church. This in the peculiar tircfes in
which we live, is quite an essential.
The boys and girls of today will be
the men and women of tomorrow.
The program for Rally Day next
Sunday, Oct. 4, we are told, is in
readiness and plans are laid for a
record attendance. Let our motives
not be misunderstood, we are interested not only in a crowd for the day,
we do want the inspiration of numbers for the constant work through
the months that lie ahead.
The weather, since we began our
-evening appointments, has not been
very favorable for large attendance.;

be found his views on a subject of
much interest to thousands of men

Be Careful.

It is well known.-that carelessness
and ignorance of firelhazards go hand
in hand as the chief causes of our
great national • bonfir^.
You will be interested to know, of
course, the causes of -most of the fires
we have. Three-fourths of them come
from carelessness, and these are some
of the things that cause them:
Defective chimneys and flues.
Hot ashes and coals.
Matches and smoking.
Gasoline.
Spontaneous combustion, rubbish.
Over-heated stoves.
Sparks on roof.
Burning autumn leaves and dead
grass is also dangerous. Always call
the Fire Department—365 R—before
burning off vacant lots!
Please observe these "Don'ts."
Don't smoke in a garage or filling
station.
Don't be careless with your cigar
and cigarette stubs.;
Don't store oily rags or waste used
in polishing furniture—burn them.
Fire waste is not pkid by insurance
companies; they only distribute the
money that is paid by the people
when they buy merchandise. The cost

tions continually fall from the lips of
ardent admirers of Hooked Rugs, who
desire the information not only for its
great historical value, but because in
all fairness they wish to' "give honor
to whom honor is due."
But alas! this is one thing we do
not know nor can the information at
present be gleianed "from any source.
The truth is, that the beginnings of
the Hooked Rugs are shrouded in
mystery. No voice can speak with authority upon this interesting question.
Let none despair, however, for men
with much- experience in the work of
historical research, are giving serious
attention to this matter, and hope to
be able in a short time to give definite
information as to time and place of
production of the first Hooked Rugs!
Made Before Revolution?
In the absence of positive knowledge, the following example will
serve to show the wide divergence of
opinion in regard ter" the origin of
Hooked Rugs. Several prominent
writers strongly contend that this
popular floor covering antedates the
American Revolution. A still more
venturesome writer asserts that Hooked Rugs were in evidence earlier than
the year 1700.
In contradiction of the foregoing,
numerous opinions have been quoted
to the effect that Hooked Rugs did
not make their initial appearance until the early part of the Nineteenth
Century. Offering these opinions for
what they are worth, be it little or
much, and attempting neither confirmation nor denial, permit us to state
that most people claim the Hooked
Rugs the most beautiful floor covering
in the world.
Take the Public's Fancy
The revival of interest in Hooked
Rugs that is now sweeping over the
United States has demonstrated that
no article of floor covering so beautifies* and adorns the home. This fact
is becoming universally recognized,
and the demand for these rugs threatens soon to be unprecedented.
The women of this day and generation to whom the Hooked Rug is
an unfamiliar object, will welcome its
description, however brief. The rug
has various names. It is called a
Hooked Rug because a hook is used
in making it. A Drawn-in Rug, because the material is drawn into the
patterns, and a Pulled Rug, because
the material is pulled up through the
pattern. The foundation is a piece of
Burlap bound around the edges with
Stay binding, and on which is stenciled or sketched the design to be
worked into the rug.
Will Last a Lifetime
The pattern is then stretched upon
an adjustable frame (as you would a
quilt). The material to be used may
be yarn or old clothing, cut to the
proper width, Y* to % inch wide. Hold
your hook in right hand on top of
pattern, material in left hand under
point of hook. Put hook down through
pattern, pulling end of material up
through. Next put hook through,
skipping two. or three threads. Pull
up material forming a loop about *4
inch high, continue doing same, leaving all ends on top.
The old time New England Hooked
Rugs made from cast-off clothing,
were known to wear from twenty to
fifty years, and what can be said of
the wearing qualities of the modern
Hooked Rugs, made from new yarn
especially prepared for making
Hooked Rugs, is yet unknown. It is
predicted that they will outwear any
other floor covering. The Hooked Rug
is"'here to stay. ~

at this time to standardize the signal

in the United States. The present
system is anything but satisfactory
and is a rank injustice to a driver
of an automobile. In some towns one
color means one thing; in other places
something different, with the result
that a driver is unable to tell whether
he is going according to the ordinance
of that town or violating it.
To Protect Pedestrians
"Another thing I am interested in,"
said Mr. Becher, "is the right of a
pedestrian. At the speed automobiles
are being turned out by the manufacturers it won't be long before the
streets will be positively dangerous
for men, women and children. Some
way must be found to protect those

In the Community Building on Friday night, beginning at 7:30, Douglas Fairbanks, son of the only
"Doug.," will make his first appearance in North Canton in "Stephen
Steps Out," a story written by the
late Richard Harding Davis.
The story concerns Stephen Harlow, Jr., son of the head of the Harlow Packing company, who is attending a school founded by his father.
Stephen fails in his examination in
Turkish history and his angry father
sends him to Turkey with a tutor to
study the history of the country.
There he rescues the heir to the Turkish throne from prison.
The human interest of the picture
lies in the sportsman-like attitude of
young Stephe-n Harlow toward an old
professor, who has conscientiously
flunked him in his exam, for graduation, and who has lost his position
because of his courage. Even though
he has suffered because of this, the
boy, who is the son of the chief benefactor of the school, feels that he
must make amends. His efforts in this
direction and his final success make
an entertaining picture. All of the
characters are human and the story
is one to warm the heart. It is off
the beaten path—a picture extraordinary in its novelty.

The American Legion room in the
Community Building was the scene of
activity on Monday night when the
solicitors met with those managing;

cover this territory. Postmaster Evans:
was the temporary chairman and ia
his remarks he reminded his hearers;
that North Canton citizens had never
yet gone back on a worthy cause ant!
he did not believe'they were going;
to do so now. He hoped, he said, that
this would be the last monument
erected to men for engaging in war„
thus intimating that he thought the
nations of the world would settle their
arguments by arbitration instead of
with bullets. Then he turned the
chairmanship over to Russell Gerber-

living along the rural routes will contribute to this worthy fund," said an
active member of the Legion Auxiliary on Tuesday night to a representative of The Sun. "I have lived here

energy that monument will be dedicated in Zion cemetery on next Armistice day."

Dry Americans Abroad." It was published without indication being included throughout its entire length of
the reason for its issuance or the
source of its statements, save that it
apparently was regarded simply as a
feature article to be given some little
prominence. "From Piccadilly's 'pubs,'
from the wine restaurants of the
unter den Linden and from Mont-
martre's champagne jazz resorts the
cry is going up that something has
happened to the thirst of the American tourist," it stated at the outset
quite auspiciously,—but to all outward appearances the great rush of
panting Yanks to Europe is over."
That is a statement which is worthy
of attention by those wets in America
who would have it believed that the
average American is fretting so terribly wider the bondage of his enforced slavery that he is just waiting
on tiptoe, as it were, for the moment
when he may shake off his shackles
and for a short while, at any rate, be
free once more.
