The meeting Qrouncl of
Town and Country—
The Home Town Paper
T HAT great part of non-city America which we call the country is in reality
town and country. Sometimes the people of the farms have felt that the peo
ple of towns did not understand their problems any more than did those of
the big cities. But there hss been a common meeting ground for all in the
home town paper. It has chronicled tile activities of the village and of the farms
and of the cross roads. It has told of the visits of the village banker and his
family and of the farmer and ills family, of the new pavement in the village and
tha Improved highway in the country. No publication ever was more entitled to
be called "a slice of life” of the people than the home town paper. Week after
week, year after year, it lias ministered to the natural craving for the homely, in
timate news of the countryside, the kind of news which no big dty paper can
furnish. Now the country newspajver is to have a "week” all Its own. The thou
sands of country papers the nation over have got together to observe ‘'Subscribe
for your home town paper week" November 7-12. It is a week for all who love
country and village life and "just folks." If you have let your subscription lapse,
renew it. If you sre a newcomer to the community, subscribe. If
you are fit from ths old home town, mske sure that at
least once a week you can live again the joys of othei
days through the visits of the home town paper.

.Wise Counsels Averts
Catastrophe.
The wiso work of the United States
Rail Board brought good results last
week, and the threatened strike wm
nverted.
President Hurdlng let both th:
railroads and the Brotherhoods under
land that all the forcos of the admin
istration are back of the Rail Bonn
and its decisions, nnd neither part’
to the controversy was anxious tc
“buck the government.”
The people generally have believed
thnt there was too much good sense
on both sides to permit speh a strike,
which would have cost this country
far more than our part in the World
War and which under present world
conditions would have well nigh de
stroyed organized labor.
The chief reasgn for thinking that
the strike would come lay in the fact
that certain elements of both capita!
and labor would be glad to sec gov
ernment ownership of railroads forced
through such a strike. The former
would be glad to unload on Uncle
Sam, and the latter think they would
find the old gentleman an easy mark.
The public, of course, would have to
pay the bill for both. The disappoint
ment of such men is one of the best
reason* for rejoicing that the strike
Is called off.
The roads insist that they cannot
give desired rate reductions with
out n further cut in wages, and the
Rail Board will give a thorough inves
tigation as to the merits of the case
on both sides. In the meantime, the
12 per cent wage cut allowed by the
Board on July 1st is in effect.
A Fine ’Cue.
The ground was so wet Tuesday
that Judge W. W. Crawford did not
want it turned, so the plowing demon
stration of the Fordson Tractor ad
vertised to take place on his farm
had to be postponed. A fine exhibi
tion was given, however, of its work
in cutting up feed and grinding grain,
after which the large crowd was hos
pitably entertained at a big barbecue
given by the Polk County Sales Co.,
the hustling representatives here of
the Ford factories. Both the dem
onstration and the ‘cue were thor
oughly appreciated.
From Far-Off Canada.
The following letter will he read
with great interest by the host of
friends of Rev W. R Mnckay, a form
er beloved Cedartown pastor:—
Toronto, Oct. 27th, 11)21.
Dcur lire. Russell:—Your long.fino
newsy letter comes to us every week,
and wo ull enjoy it in this region of
the “Northern Lights.” I want to nn-
swer these welcome letters of yours,
md to show my practical apprecin-
iou I enclose you <1 check to help pay
for the ink, typesetting and general
expenses you are out every yeur. The
check is for the small sum of $1.50.
It is very little, but it is all you ask
from your friends to whom you write.
Your Stnnadrd is n standard of pa
triotism, clean politics, and fresh,
healthy news. It is unnecessary for
ine to tell you that I am interested in
the doings of Dixie Land, and pro
gress is tlie note that is sounded in the
accounts you write of the happenings
of the citizens pf Cedartown. From
these far-away fields I send you con
gratulations, and every tender feeling
that memory nnd past associations
bring me
Opportunity continues to knock at
my door. Bond Street Congregational
church is one of the great historic
I churches of Canada. She has had a
remarkable career for three-quarters
j of a century. Some of the geat prea
chers of Canada and the United
States have filled her pulpit. Recent-
j ly this pulpit was vacated, and I re-
' coivud a unanimous call to become
their pastor. For many good reasons
II felt it my duty, to accept the honor
I offered me—the commanding impor-
j tance of the work, the complete e-
I quipment with which to do the work,
| as is found in the fine buildings of the
| church, and the great opportunities in
reading such a large number of the
young life of the city. Within a short
, radius of the church it is estimated
'I that about 20,000 young men and wo
men, business and professional toil-
1 ere, live nnd labor. To reach these
with my message is no small oppor
tunity. I have had remarkable suc
cess since I took up the work, which
was early in September. I preach the
1 Gospel to hundreds every Sunday and
touch them in a personal wav through
the week. During the month of Sep
tember I'have had the joy of taking
' 160 new members into my church. I
,r.i very grateful und happy in my
work. >
With kindest regards to you nnd
happy memories of our past associa
tions, and with best wishes, I am, my
dear brother RUBsell,
Sincerely yours,

GAME TOMORROW
Marietta High comes tomorrow for
a foot-ball game with our High School
boys—and it will be some game, take
it from us!
The Mariettans downed our boys tho
other day on their home grounds,and
Cedartown Higli proposes to return
the compliment tomorrow if possible.
Our boys tied with Cartersvillo last
Friday when they visite that place,
the score being 7 to 7. It was one of
the best games of the season, and
quite a number went over to see it.
And now turn out and see the
game tomorrow. The boys want to
see all their friends on the grounds
promptly at 3 o’clock.
Rev. W. T. Irvine, the Presiding
Elder of this district, spent Monday

the pastorate of Rev. Frank Qulllian,
who leaves next Monday for the an
nual conference in Augusta, und who
will doubtless be returned at the
earnest wish of the church. The fol

JOLLY EVENING
“Ain’t we got fun!" .was the cen
tral idea at tho Kiwnnis luncheon Fri
day evening at the Wayside Inn. It
was Lndiea’ Night, and the Indies were
put iq entire charge., They made it n
big Halloween party, and carried out
tile IlnMowheh' spirit, in the decora
tions nnd the entire program.
The ICitVanians were heated at the
tables on one side of the room, and
tho ladies draped with sheets nnd
wearing Halloween eaps and masks
marched in nnd occupied the other.
They boitc banners with the Kiwants
motto, "We Build," coupled with the
“Wnklnis” slogan, “We Break," und
the entire program was a jolly bur
lesque on Klwanis ideals anil plans.
Mrs. E. D. Russell us "Mrs. Gloom”
presided for the evening, nnd the pro
gram opened with the Kiwanis yell
riven by Miss Laura Belle Brewster.
“MiBS Breakdown,” hotter known
as Miss Katherine Bunn, rend a clever
rhyming skit on tho personalities of a
number of Klwunians, and Mrs. E. S.
Ault ns “Mrs. Kicker” made a speech
“ugin” bonds. Why have sewers and
paved streets? she asked —-the Indi
ans got along without 'em, and it isn’t
much trouble anyhow to pry a team
out of the mud.
Misses Laura Belle Brewster and
Catherine Smith, tut "Irene Castle"
and “Anna Pnvlowa," gave an enjoy
able "dance of the nymphs,” and Mrs.
J. V. Blackwell as "Sara Bornhurt”
gave a rendition of "Hamlet” that
would have tickled Shakesperc.
A "jazz orchestra” saturated the
atmosphere with various kinds of
"melody,” and Miss Annie Brumby as
“Miss Knocker” gave a talk on “Ed
ification.” “Why educate children,”
she asked, “when tlioy can raise just
as many boll Weevils without it? What
difference does it make if tho plaster
ing in school-houses does fall? tatia-
tics show that very few children have
been actually killed by it!”
The star feature of the evening of
burlesque was tho “sermon” by Mrs.
Wm. Purker, Jr., as “Mrs. Grumble,”
in whicli she depicted the quandary of
Old Mother Hubbard and her bare
cupboard.
Mrs. Chas. Adamson as , “Mrs.
Crouch” gave an enjoyable account
of her recent visit to the Klwanis
moeting In Macon and her attendance
at the reception just given Mrs. Hard
ing in Atlanta, bringing in enough
"grouchiness” to carry out the spirit
of the occasion.
A quartet ended the ladies’ part of
tho program with a pleasing aelection
and brief talks wore mode by the Ki
wanis President, Dr. H. M. Hail, and
Mr. C. W Smith expressing apprecia
tion of tho evening’s entertainment
given by the "Wakinis Club.” It was
really one of the best programs ever
presentd here, and the ladies are en
titled to much credit for their “stunt/
