FRENCH BOY ADOPTED BY BERNATH KLUS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER AMERICA

American games that real American , kids play, aren't much different from those- played by their brothers and Bisters in France, but American "fellers have certainly got the world beat on showing a 14-year-old man the open hand and a regular time," according to Charles Le Leur, now a son of Richmond, but only recently adopted, in the French port of Brest, by Bernath M. Klus, U. S. sailor, whose home is at 807 North J street in Richmond. When Charles landed in the United States he was detained at Ellis Island in New York, several weeks, which took a little of his innate "pep" out of him, but when he arrived in Richmond, with Leoline Klus, his god-father's young brother and "all the other kids" in the neighborhood to play with, the little Frenchman ha3 regained all his vigor and love of life. He talked enthusiastically about the things he had been doing so far in America and related how they had played "Ten Step," "Go Sheepy Go," "Tap the Ice Box" and various other games. - Likes America! "Gee, yes, I like America, and the boys are great," said Charles, who refuses absolutely to return to his native tongue, preferring instead to talk English continually. He speaks with a droll accent, which at times is extremely difficult to understand, but which shows great perserverance on

the part of a lad who has been in this country but a few weeks and who had conversed with Americans only at intervals before that. 'J The youngster met Bernath Klus In the Y. M. v- A. Navy Hut in Brest, France, where Klus was on leave from the U. S. S. Fanning, and where Charles was working off and on tug boats. The French boy is straight shouldered, clean skinned, with purple-blue eyes and black hair, a likeable youngster, and Klus "took" to him. I "Hello, sonny, want to be a mascot on our boat," Charles remembers Klus saying to him the first time they met. After that they became great friends, until at last the American sailor, who Is very young himself, determined to become a god-father and bring his little Frenchman with him back to "a real country," and his own real mother, Mrs. Klus. Comes to America. ' His father's consent was finally secured, all the necessary papers were signed, and then came the shock. Klus was suddenly transferred to another ship which was to stay on guard duty in the harbor at Brest. Transport reservations were secured for the god-son, however, and he came to the United States on the liner Phoenix, which he says was "a

Three Diseases Cause High

Death Rate In America (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 27. The census bureau's annual compilation of mortality statistics for the death-registration area in the continental United States shows 1.068,932 deaths 1917, representing a rate of 14,2 to each 1,000 of population. Of these deaths, nearly one-third "were due to three causes heart diseases, pneumonia, and tuberculosis and nearly another third resulted from the following nine causes; Bright's disease and nephritis, apoplexy, cancer, di

arrhea and enteritis, arterial diseases,

influenza, diabetes, diphtheria, and bronchitis. The death-registration area comprised twenty-seven states, the District of Columbia, and' fortythree cities in non-registration states, with a total estimated population of 75,000,000, or about 73 per cent, of the estimated population of the United States. (Hawaii has recently been added to the registration area, but the figures in the summary relate to the

continental United States, only.)

Farm Laborers To Be Needed For Harvest No great shortage of farm hands has been experienced yet this season in Wayne county, and a majority of the farmers in this vicinity, have, by helping each other, got their corn well out of the way, it is said. A number of farmers are wanting men to help

with general work and for the wheat harvest which is going to require more men on account of the general ripening. "About every farmer will have to get after his own wheat at the same time," It was said today. W. S. Rayle, Y. M.C A. service men's employment secretary, has received requests from a number of

farmers in this county asking for men whom they will pay $3.50 and $4 a day with dinners, and in some cases lodging and meals.

Trade With Your Home Grocers They Are Your Neighbors and Your Friends

Quick Relief For Ail Rheumatics

EACH Community is a neighborhood in itself you depend on each other. You meet and talk over the things you like and the things you don't like. And so your grocer knows what will please you better than any peddler or mail order house. Patronize him. You not only help him, but you help yourself and your community.

You take pride in your town. So does your grocer. You want his good will and he wants yours. Encourage him to keep the good a you like. He will sell you the best because he wants you, his neighbor, to be his friend. It is to your advantage in many ways to buy from the following reputable grocers. Do so.

In commercial life AAA stands for the highest rating. By a strange coincidence CCC, for the first time, stands for the greatest Exposition ever staged in America. There is another thing about the Centenary Celebration -Columbus that is quite as unusual as the Exhibition itself. The Centenary Celebration Columbus opened its gates on Friday, June 20th, and is scheduled to close them on Sunday, July 13th.

ine iirst advertisement of this Centenary Celebration. Columbus, appears today, Friday, June 27th. ; It is one of 13 advertisements the last one of which will appear

on rnaay, juiy inn. FAITH IGNORES SUPERSTITION AND FATTTT TS TTTV.

BACKBONE OF THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION COLUMBUS. How did it come to pass that I am describing this CpTitpnnrrr nW

bration Columbus to you ?

The Committee in charge asked me to visit the Ohio State Fair Grounds, Columbus, where the celebration is staged. They asked me. to inspect the buildings and exhibits as far as I

couiu uunng a penoa oi mree nours, ana tnen to report to them

my impressions. They wanted me to find out for myself whether the Centenary'

teieoranon possessed attractions that would appeal to the mulitude. If I found myself interested as a stranger, then thev wished me to submit a plan to advertise the 'Celebration to all of the people of Ohio and to people outside of Ohio, but living near enough to Columbus to make the trip a day's affair.

I became so interested in the Celehrfltinn that tht fi mi -fnr mo

meet the Committee arrived before I realized it but I kept my

appointment on the minute, and when I was asked to give them my impressions and suggestions, I found myself so enthused with what I saw (mind you, I saw only a very small part of the exhibit) I almost forgot to talk about the advertising plan.

However, I believed it was my enthusiasm about the wonders of

the Celebration rather than the details of the advertising plan

that influenced the committee to vote unanimously to have me

give you a word picture of what I have seen and WHAT EVERY ONE OF YOU SHOULD SEE WITHOUT FAIL. They thought, and rightly, too, that if I, a stranger, was so profoundly impressed, you would also be impressed if I could persuade you to visit the Exposition, which I will try to do, in this and following announcements. Forget the cost of railroad transportation to and from Columbus. Forget the time required to make the trip. Forget the cost of the food you will eat, which, by the way, may be had on the Fair Grounds at little cost or you may bring your own luncheons or suppers and eat them on the beautiful lawns which are shaded by wonderful trees. The Fair Grounds and the buildings are in apple-pie condition, thanks to the enterprise and generosity ot your good state ot Ohio which voted a special ap--propriation to assist in making the Centenary Celebration in Columbus a success. Nothing that I have ever seen and I have seen many expositions comes

anywhere near equaling this Centenary Celebration Columbus IN INTEREST. IN EDUCATION, IN ENTERTAINMENT, IN MOTION, IN CHARACTER, IN UPLIFT. Every father and mother in the State of Ohio and In nearby towns in other' States, should make it a point to have their children visit this Exposition. It is in reality a GREAT UNIVERSITY where they will learn the habits and customs of the peoples of the world, and the natives who have been lifted from the depths of despair to the hopes and realization of a God-fearing useful life, brought about by the unselfish labor and sacrifice of thousands of men and women who patiently train minds to see the light. There Is nothing sombre about this Centenary Celebration Columbus. On the contrary, it is all joyful. But it will make you think. It will make you proud of your country proud that you have so many brothers and sisters willing to reach out and help to elevate peoples of other countries to the same standards that prevail here. This Centenary Celebration Columbus shows what America Is doine to build

up the manhood and womanhood of other countries shows It in the most appealing and human fashion shows it so that what you see will thrill you and make you realize the glorious benefits that are yours in this land of plenty and happiness and Christian brotherhood. I cannot tell you the whole story in this first announcement but I want to point out to you two things: THE PAGEANT, exhibited every evening in the Coliseum," which seats 7600 people i3 a production so marvelous, that it attracted D. W. Griffith, the Master Moving-picture artist, whose expert moving-picture operators took a'

Movie of it yesterday. The Oval Ampitheatre, which seats over 50,000 where is shown the largest ' screen in the world. It is 133 by 135 feet. On this screen a projecting Machine throws slide pictures, representative of the habits and customs of the people of the world, each picture taking a space of 105 ft. square. These two things alone if exhibited for money-making purposes would cost to see at least $5.00 and 2.50 respectively yet you may see EVERYTHING during the day upon an admission ticket costing only 50 cts. and yon can see the wonderful Pageant at night for an extra 50 cts. . This Centenary Celebration cost over fl,000,000 to stage, and the exhibits' themselves, all carefully selected, represent value of more than $1,000,000. v Including today, the Centenary Celebration Columbus will be open. 14 mora days. Is If the people of Ohio and neighboring towns In other States are as keen at I think they are, they will turn out in fuU force, and give this Celebration an" average dally attendance of 150,000.
