CEDARTOWN STANDARD Devoted to the Beit Intereiti of Cedartown and Polk County. Volume 36. Cedartown, Georgia, Thursday, August 17th, 1922. Number 30. SATURDAY1STHE FARM PICNIC DAY Bring Your Baskets to F ish and Have a Big Day Together. The farmers of Polk are going to spend an enjoyable day Saturday at Fish. It will be a big picnic day there,and the farmers are coming from all parts of the county. While it will be a pleasant time spent togethor.the day will have some very serious business features. Hon. L». A. Dean, the chairman for the Seventh District of the Cotton Co-operative Marketing Association, is arranging for a series of rallies for every county in the district. And Saturday is the day for Polk. Mr. Dean and other interesting speakers will be there, and the farmer will be given clear-cut information about this movement that means so much to them. THE COUNTY FAIR A good start was made Thursday on the County Fair, to be held in Ce dartown this fall, for the best kind of a good start is to get the right men at the head of any undertaking. The Farm Bureau has succeeded admirably in this respect, and the suc cess of the Polk County Fair for 1922 is assured from the outset. At the meeting held here Thursday the following excellent officers were elected:— Prest.—C. H. Graves. Vice Prest. and chairman Woman’s Work—Mrs. G. S. Borders. Sec. and Treas.—Wm. Janes. And now' let’s gol Let every farmer and business man in every section of the county, and the Kiwanis Club and the Chambers of Commerce of Cedartown and Rockmart get busy and “put some pep” into the Fair project. It isn’t fair for three or four have to do all tho work of the Fair, which is held for the benefit of all. Let all pull together and make 1922 a banner Fair year for Polk. Notice to Farmers. The fall allotment for the Cedar town National Farm Loan Associa tion has been received. In so far as possible applications already made will be taken care of in the order of their filing, and new ones within the allotment on the same principle of priority. Applications should be filed at the earliest possible moment, and must he in to receive attention not later than Aug. 20th, 1922. HOMER WATKINS, Sec. and Treas. EPWORTH LEAGUE Atlanta Folks to be Here Over Sunday. Cedartown and the First Methodist church will be much bo-Lenguered over Sunday. A team of Epw’orth League young people from Atlanta will come Sat urday evening, and their stay will be an interesting event for the young people of Cedartown. The Epworth League of the First Methodist church will be the hosts, and will give the visitors hospitable entertainment. A reception will be given at the church Saturday evening, to which all the young people of the city are in vited, and especially Baptist Young People’s Union and the Christian En deavor Society. Sunday morning the Leaguers will have charge of both the Sunday School and the 11 o’clock service at the Methodist church, and will hold a devotional service at 3 p. m. In the evening they will conduct the regular Epworth League meeting at 6.45, and will also have charge of the 8 o’clock service. The young people who are coming are all “life service volunteers,” and the list is ns follows:— Miss Ha'/.el North, for work in Af rica. Miss Enrlinc Dowda, of Emory U- niversity, Epworth League Superin tendent North Georgia Conference. Rev. Henry Bullock, of Emory. Mr. Marvin Harper, of Emory. Mr. Jerry Echols, of Tech. Mr. Henry Sappington, of Tech. Miss Pearl Waddell, of Emory. Mr. Hal Staton, a noted Tech ath lete. Mr. Ewing Griffin, of Y. M. C. A. Miss Annie Hngler, of Kirkwood Mr. Kellogg Maddox, of Atlanta. The lives and work of these Chris tian young folks should be an inspira tion to young people everywhere, and Bible Thoughts for This Week Sunday. SUN AND SHIELD: — The Lord God Is a sun and shield: the ^ord will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from hem that walk uprightly.—Psalm 84: 11. Monday. THE PRINCE OF PEACE:—For unto us a child Is born; and the government shall be upon his shoul der: and his name ihall be called The Prince of Peace.—Tsalah 9: 6k Tuesday. MERCY ASSURED.— He that covereth hla sins shall not prosper >ut whoso confeaseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.—Proverbs 28: 13. Wednesday. REWARD OF HUMILITY :— Whosoever exalteth himself shal je abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.—Luke 14: 11. Thursday. SAFE STEPS:—The steps of good man are ordered by the Lord and he delighteth in his way.— Psalm 37 : 23. Friday. HOW TO GET ONAsk, and l shnll be given you; seek, and y shall find.—Matthew 7: 7. Saturday. WITHHOLD NOT GOOD:— Withhold not good from them t whom it Is due, when It Is In th power of thine hand to do It—Prov erbs 3: 27. No one has more at stake in this matter than the farmers’ families,and every good farmer’s wife should see to it that her husband gets there and that she goes with him. Bring the boys and girls along—and don’t for get that basket. There has never been a movement started in the South whose success means as much to the farmers as this. It is modeled on the plan that snved the farmers of California from ruin, and it is much easier managed with a product like cotton than with perish- ble stuff. Don’t fail to hear Mr. Dean and other speakers explain the details of the plan Saturday at Fish, and spend a profitable day together. THE COAL STRIKE Is Now Over, but Rail Strike More Acute After having reduced the country to the stago of a coal famine, tho coal miners huve finally consented to buck to work. Incidentally, they get nothing that they could not have obtained by pcuceful negotiations when they went on strike April 1st, and are out of pocket over four months pay. Also incidentally, the mine owners have had a profitable summer shut down, for the public is going to have to pay heuvily for the coal shortage resulting from the strike. Also and likewise incidentally, the strikers huve to bear the odium of the Herrin niussacre, which it will take the mine workers a long time to get over. The miners need a leadership which has some more intelligent idea than | their visit should do much good here, that of brute force. The rail strike continues, and is ndered more acute by the disposi tion of trainmen to leave their jobs n some sections of the country on the ground that they object to troops guarding the railroad properties and because they claim the shop service is not efficient. Out in Arizona a crew left a train at a desert station, caus ing greut suffering to helpless women and children. Such a thing could not happen in Georgia, of course. The whole matter hinges —as it has for about three weeks—on the question of seniority, the railroads insisting that it is their right and du ty to retain men who have enabled them to keep running during the strike, and the strikers insisting that they be allowed to walk back with xactly the same standing as when they walked out. President Harding has made vari ous suggestions of settlement, but both sides have rejected them, and he will now put the matter before Con gress. It is difficult to see, however, how Congress can make men work a- gainst their will, or how it can com pel the railroads to discharge em ployees they wish to keep. There will have to be yielding somewhere, however, or a general break-down of transportation is possible. The big roads of the country had men ready to take the place of the striking Shopmen, and it is more than likely they have them ready to also take the places of others who may walk out—In fact, they would be well pleased to see this happen; but the situation is bad, for those roads and sections like the Southeast, where the management and em ployees have always gotten along well together, and where no provision has been made for taking the places of those who walk out. GOES TO AUSTRIA SENATOR HARRIS IS MEMBER OF INTERPARLIAMENTARY UNION. Senator Wm. J. Harris sniled Sat urday from New York with the other delegates from the American Con gress as Representatives at the Inter parliamentary Union, meeting in Vi enna, Austria, from Aug. 27th to 30th. He was accompanied by Mrs. Harris and daughter, Miss Julia. Senator Harris expects to return nbout Oct. 1st. While away from the Senate he is paired with Senator Spencer, Republican,Missouri, and he has a pair with Senator Calder, Re publican, of New York, in case the bonus legislation! and the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals comes up before he returns. The appointment of Senator Har on this important duty is indeed high honor to him and to the State he so ably represents. JUDGE DICK RUSSELL FOR CHIEF JUSTICE t Bishop J. C. Kilgo, one of South ern Methodism’s great preachers,died Friday at his home in Charlotte, N.C. A Slight Decrease. “Votes for wimmen” gives Polk a large increase in polls this year, the law assessing the tax against them whether they register and vote not. The total poll tax for 1922 listed at $5,649, a gain of $2,858. Our board of Tax Equalizers and Tax Receiver J. W. Hunt have com pleted ther work, and Polk shows aggregate value of taxable property (aside from the public utility corpor ations) of $7,794,949. This is $344,- 082 less than last year, but is a good showing considering the slump through which we have just passed. A Big New Store. The new clothing store of Scar brough & Hamrick is now open to the public, as will be Reen from their page announcement in this issue of The Standard—and ns you will see at tractively advertised every week hereafter.

All of them will be paid in full with in terest on tho dates fixed, and they ars a gilt-edge investment.
