_One of the most remarkable religious
campaigns ever conducted In this part
of the state came to a close last night
when the two-weeks revival that the
First Baptist church has been conducting
In the "Gypsy" Smith tent was con-.j
eluded. No stronger, or more effective
preaching was ever done in a revival
meeting than was done by Dr. Robt. G.
Lee, pastor of the church, who held the
close attention of his large audiences
throughout and was rewarded with, a
wonderful influx of souls born inta
the kingdom. While the meeting was
conducted under the auspices of a
single church, there was a large and
liberal attendance from all of the
churches; and a feature at many of
the services was the attendance from
various outlying sections of the
county.

By the time a child is three years
old, the name by which ho v/ns christened
has become so irrevocably a
part of him that it seems .strange to
recall the time when Uncle Aimer was
a hold-out in favor of Rupert GoefTrey
against the unanimous vote of the
rest of the family for plain William
Henry.
Tho American Tyegion has been the
American Legion- for a little over
three years?the anniversary of its
christening1 occurred only a few days
ago?and it is difficult to Imagine it
being called by any other name. Hut
the principal discussion at the Paris
caucus of March 1919, was concerned
with this very question of name.
Liberty league, Army of the Great
| War, Legion of the Great War, American
Crusaders, Veterans of the Great
War, Society of the Great War?each
of these designations had a following
of its own, and so did American Legion
of the Great War, offered because
the initials combined those of
Lincoln and Washington. Only after,
a long debate in this first post meeting
in Legion history was the present
| name adopted for later and formal np
! pi v>\ at.
It would take a mighty powerful
) l?loc to change the Irion's name now.
More than merely being used to it is
in its favor. Behind it has been built
up an amount of good will that any
I business organization would rightly
recognize as a cash asset. American
Legion has come to mean energy, accomplishment,
disinterested service to
veteran and nation. It is a good record
for a three-year-old.

Kiven below. In Its present form, the i
bill differs in details, from the five- j
fold plan of compensation drawn up by j
j the American Legion- The principal
j changes arc the elimination of outright
j cash payments to men whose period of
; service, would, under tno oiu bill, nave
' entitled them to a sum in excess of 550
r
and the liberalization of the adjusted
certificate feature to enable men to obtain
cash loans after October 1, 1922.
The present form of the bill is subject
i to change, cf odurse, by the senate:
1. Adjusted st-rvlco p ly, at the rate
i of $l a day for-home nerviec and 91.2 f>
In day for foreign service. Cash payI
incuts under the option would be made
! only to men entitled? to not more than
| $50. The sum of each man's adjusted
1 service pay, however, would bo computed
to determine his adjusted service
'credit, the basic amount he Is entitled
tto under the four .remaining options.
The maximum^ credit for a man without
overseas service would be $500;
for a man with overseas service, $025.
2. Adjusted service certificate (socalled
insurance feature), a paid-up
twenty-year endowment policy. The
face valne of the certificate would be
$.015 times the adjusted service credit
of the veteran. The face value would
be payable in twenty, years, or, if the
veteran dies before the expiration of
that time, the face value would be jiaid
; to the beneficiary of the policy. After
I Cw-t.ihcr i 1022. and before October 1,
11925, the veteran'J'tplglit obtain from
J any incorporated actional bank or trust
j company an intcre^fi-bcarlng loan upon
his adjusted service certificate, the
i amount not to exuded 60 per cent of
the value of the certificate at the time
the loan Is made.. '^Value of the cer'

tcrmined from ttnr%p?u of adjusicd service
pay increnietf ,i>y 25 per" cent plus
j interest compounded anhually at 4 1-2
cent to date). After October 1, 1925,
loans would be obtainable on the certificate
directly from postmasters of
the first, second and third classes.
3. Vocational training aid of $1.75
for each day while taking a course In
vocational training, the total amount
not to exceed 140 per cent of the adJusted

would lie effective January 1, 1923.
4. Farm or home aid. An amount
equal to the adjusted service credit increased
by 25 per cent to purchase, imI

Interesting Facts About a Very Com- '
man Tree.
"In the vegetable kingdom, an in hu- |
man society, one often finds humble
representatives of distinguished fain- I
ilies living in very plain circumstances, i
Sassafras is one of these, for it is '
closely related to tlic cinsnic laurel,
with the leaves of which poets and heroes
used to be crowned, and Is a nrar 1
kin small of the nutmeg tree, tlio cam- j]
phor tree, the red. hay tree, the cfer- j
green leaves of which flourish prover- j
hially, and of many fine tropical spice J,:
fruitr, and timbers.
"Sassafras timber Is more enduring ,
and firmer than red cedar. It Is scat- j
terod broadcast by ita pretty daik ber- i
lies in the fall, but is ::o ofteiv dug for
its roots or to get rid of It that it is j
rarely seen ais a large tree. It attains i
fine dimensions, however, when given I
a chance, but is slow growing.
"When the fiist colonists came toj
Virginia in 1007 they had fond hopes'
of finding spices, but the sassafras and
(its eousinB, the spicebush and the red
bay, which is found only In the south- I
eastern part ?>f the state und so south- j
ward, were the best they could do for
spicy products, and they made the |
most of thehi. Sassafras roots from J
I Virginia were worth r>0 pounds per ton
' in London in 1G10, and the poet Micha;acl
Drayton in his ode to the Virginia
j Voyage, tells us how?
'"The ambitious vine,
Crowns with his purple masse
The cedar reaching hie
To kiss the sky, . j
The cypress, pine,
And useful sassafrac'
"Captain John Smith, with his kicu
eye for the practical, insisted that the
sailors who came to Virginia, in their
awkward efforts to get something in
the new colonies that they could sell
in London, broke and wore out
in tools more than their sassafras wap
worth, and any one who grubs a sassafras
thicket will agree that he pays
dearly for what lie gets, Th< root
should be dug in winter. The flavor is
very pleasant, and in memory of John
Smith and his days, and of sassafras
tea our mammies used to brew and
give us, some of us like a little sassafras
tea oven now. It was popular
enough in Confederate times. The
leaves and twigs are used by New Orleans
cooks in making their "gumbo"
dishes, and the pitli of the twigs
! make an emulsion very pleasing to inI
flamed eyes. The sassafras buds aro
