PACIFIC TREATIES UP TO SENATE
President Harding Submits Them with Earn
est Plea for Ratification.
■
“if we cannot join in making ef
fective these covenants for peace,
and-stamp this coference with Amor-
-iciv’f approval, we shall discredit the
influence of the republic, render fu-
r tore efforts futilu. or unlikely, and
Write discouragement where today
i the world is ready to acclaim new
j hope.”
TJius spoke President Harding in
laublhitting the new Pacific treaties
|ttf the Senate for ratification last
Friday.
His words wgre as solemnly earn
est us those with which President
Wilson commended the League of
Nations to the Senate and the Amer
ican people, und w4iich then fell on
the deaf cars of Senator Harding and
most of his fellow Republicans in the
Senate. The world has suffered so
terribly frgm their folly, that it is
greatly to he hoped that Democratic

Harris Urges Cut.
Citing instances in Georgia where
the freight rates were far in excess
of the value of the products, Senator
Wm. J. Harris has laid the data be
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission requesting consideration in
connection with thp efforts to get
further reductions in freight rates.
Senator Harris cited instances of
agricultural products still suffering
despite the reduction of 10 per cent
granted a few weeks ago.
Use Polk county products.
PLANS ENLARGED
By Mrs. Thirkield for
Girls’ School.
It is a great work that has been
done in West End by the McCarthy
Settlement School under the splendid
leadership of Miss Ethel Hnrpst, who
has proved herself one of the most
useful women in this community, and
too much cannot be said in praise of
her consecrated and untiring work.
This valued institution was estab
lished by the Methodist Episcopal
church, and has been the object of
especial interest for Mrs. Chas.
Thirkield, of Franklin, 0., a far-see
ing Christian Indy who is putting her
life as well as money into the work.
The extension of the city limits
places the education of the hoys and
girls of the mill disrtict in the hands
of the secular authorities, and Mrs.
Thirkield some time ago decided to
change the direction of her activities
here and turn the institution into
a training school for girls.
Mrs. Thickicld, accompanied by
Mrs. Stollmun, also of Ohio,came last
week on a visit to the school-, and is
so much impressed with the needs
and opportunities there that she has
again enlarged her plans. Instead
of using the present school building
for the Girls’ Home, as she had inten
ded, this will he re-modeled and
transformed into a Community House
for the Mill District, with an audi
torium, gymnasium and other attrac
tive features, and a handsome new
building will be erected near this one
for the Home.
These new plains were outlined by
Mrs. Thirkield to the Kiwunis Club at
the luncheon Friday at the Wayside
Inn, and to the ladies at an enjoyable
and largely attended reception at the
school building Saturday afternoon.
The co-operation of our people is
asked in this enterprise, and it is cer
tainly well deserved.
It is proposed to tench the girls
in this Home how to make good
housekeepers as well as Christian
women, und this should certainly be
at least as attraetive an investment
in humanity as sending money to the
other side of the world.
Notice to Farmers.
We nro going to Import a few blue
quail ns an experiment, if we can
linil (rood places where they will not
be disturbed. Their habits are about
the same as our quail, and they mix
and mingle freely. They weigh n-
l out two ounces more than our quail.
Farmers that have good places
j where they will not be disturbed and
j will try to protect them can make
! application to L. S. Brewer, Cedar
town.
j The object of this association is to
. increase the game and fish in Polk
! county, and then protect it against
| the pot-hunter and game hog.
I Wo urgently request all farmers to
! assist us to increase came and fish
J in Polk—especially the insect-eating
' birds.

LEAGUE NO MORE
Capt. Harry Meikleham of Lindale,
president of the Georgia State
League, announced Saturday that
this organization would not operate
during 1922.
Cedartown fans regret this, as our
Club got through the two seasons
of its existence in better shape finan
cially than was expected, and our
team while not winning the pennant
made a highly creditable record. Br
ides this we had more men called to
the Big Leagues than all the rest put
together—Johnson, Boone, Skinner,
Tucker and Culp being on this list
It is probably just as well that the
League is disbanded, of course, for
this is a year when people had better
work than go to bail games, and had
bettor make their half-dollars work
for them instead of throwing them a-
round 'promiscuous like.” All the
same, lovers of base ball will regret
that the great national game has to
go into eclipse for a year or two in
Northwest Georgia, and Cedartown
will undoubtedly be ready to do her
part whenever the time is ripe for
its coming again.
ONLY WAY OPEN
A pathfinder for the Dixie Auto
mobile Association was here Friday,
and says that the route through Ce
dartown is the only one now prac
ticable between Atlanta and Birm
ingham. He lias “blazed the trail”
from Atlanta to Bremen, thence to
Cedartown, then to Cnve Spring,
Piedmont, Anniston and Birming
ham. The western halves of the two
southern routes of the Bunkhead
Highway are now impassable.
Car-drivers must not try to pass
one another on Main street where a
side street opens thereon, and cases
for reckless driving will ho made a-
gainst anyone guilty of breaking this
rule. W. ’I’. YORK, Chief of Police
VALUABLE WORK
Being Done by Our City
Court.
One of the boat things Polk over
did was to establish a City Court,and
Judge J. L. Tison is certainljT'doing
valuable work as the head of its af
fairs. The law provides so much less
cumbersome and expensive machin
ery for City than for Superior
Courts, and Judge Tison is using that
machinery to the county’s interests.
He has introduced a wise innovation
in figuring the jail expenses and cost
of transportation to jail as a purt of
the financial costs assessed against
prisoners convicted in his court, and
this is so eminently fair and proper
that it could well be done by every
court in the state.
The insolvent costs, which have
been accumulating for many years,
have now all been paid to the officers
entitled to them, and Judge Tison the
other day turned $r»00 into the coun
ty treasury from his courts. While
he does not believe that a court
should be a money-making concern,
he believes it should be run on a bus
iness basis, and he has the apprecia
tion of our taxpayers for so doing.
Saturday Market.
The Woman’s Club of Benedicts
district will hold n “Saturday Mar
ket” at Bartlett's hardware store
Saturday. Poultry, eggs, butter,fruit
and country cooking at market pri
ces. We solicit your patronage.

TO FIGHT WEEVIL
Big Meeting at Court
House Tuesday.
The State Board of Entomology
has the especial duty of studying in
sect pests and flindlng methods of
fighting them.
The methods prescribed by the
Board for fighting the boll weevil
are very successful wherever faith
fully carried out.
Mr. J. C. Mnness, a field represen-
tativc of the Board, will be at the
j Court House at 10.30 a. m. next
Tuesday, the 21st inst., to talk to
j our farmers about this vital matter,
j No farmer who expects to try to
raise cotton this year can afford to
! miss hearing him.
I Culp to Star for Yanks.
A dispatch from New York last
week announced that B. T. Culp,right
hand pitcher of the Cedartown Club
of tlie Georgia State League, has
been signed by the New York Yan
kees, nnd that the manager of that
