A HEALING HAM
If your nostrils are clogged,

head is stuffed by nasty catarrh
or cold, apply a little pure, anti
septic, germ destroying cream
Into your nostrils. It penetrates
through every air passage, sooth

and you {ret instant relief.
How good it feels. Your nos
trils are open. Your head is
clear. No more hawking, snuff
ling, dryness or struggling for
breath. Get a small bottle of
Ely’s Cream Balm from any drug
gist. Colds and catarrh yield
like magic. Don’t stay stuffed
up. , Relief is sure.—(Adv.)

THE GRIFFIN
EXCHANGITE
“UNITY FOR SERVICE"
November' ’ll is Armistice Day,
a day celebrated all over the coun
try; it is the ahniversary of the
day on which war was ended and
peace once more reigned supreme.
The American Legion Auxiliary of
Griffin has seen to it that our city
will be decorated with the flag our
boys followed Into battle. An ex
cellent program has been arranged
for the evening. Judge Marcus W.
Beck, justice of the Supreme Court
of Georgia, wijl deliver an address.
Let’s all go.
The Exchange Club is ever
striving to render some service in
this community. The Georgia

about this later.

tion. Co-operation has been re

of the Exchange in the United
States. The National Exchange

has been entirely due to the splen

REACH HIGHEST
PEAK IS TEAR
Washington, Nov. 10.—With to
tal resources on October 10 of
$23,323,061,000, the national banks
of the country on that date reach
ed the highest point in resources
since November 15, 1920, it was
announced Sunday by Comptroller
of the Currency Dawes.
The banks included in the total
number 8,074.
The result of the bank call of
October 10 showed an increase of
three-quarters of a billion dollars
in the banks’ total resources since
the call of June 30 and an increase
of $1,610,185,000 since the call of
September 15, 1923.
The figures, in the opinion of
the comptroller, reflect in a meas

as well as the natural growth of
its wealth since 1 there has been

change were a good thing for their
community, it would be equally
valuable to their neighbors.
Since the- organization of the
Exchange Club we have all heard
the question: a What is the 1 Ex
change Club? I will venture a
definition. It is a group of real
men, organized for a definite pur
pose, with a radiant spiiit.
“The Man Who Just Belongs ft
Don’t be the man who just be
longs, • i
Who just gets on the rides,
Who joins the fellows in their
songs,’
And nothing else besides.
For men must work as wbll as
play,
Must give as well as take—
You have to work as well as play,
My boy, a club to make.
The National ExSfoang^ Club
has assigned a town ti riffin in
which to establish an Exchange
Club.” We know that Exchange
is a good thing; we belWe' it to
be the best of the civic clubs. It
is our duty and privilege to take
this Unity for Service to our
neighbor. President Parson will
appoint a committee of two men
to be- in charge of the establish
ment of the new club. Let’s co
operate with the National Club
and with this committee and put
over this new club. The-members
of thb new club will forever be
thankful to our club, fort, we will
give to them an opportunity to
unite for service; the entire popu
lation of the town in which the
Club Is to be located will be grate
ful to us, for we will give to them
an organization having as its pur
pose the betterment of that city.
What does the Exchange Club
believe? *The Exchange Club be
lieves in a better America. .It is
a sense of a Christian obligation
—call it by what name you will.
For all true religion carries with
it the^Abiding foundation of mu
tmrF'TtgpIce, mutual forbearance,
mutual friendliness and a unity of
service.
We expect the meeting Tuesday
to be well worth attending. Hotel,
12:l6 o’clock.
