Cedartown High to Play University High from Atlanta Here Tomorrow In a Great Game for the Prep School Foot-Ball Championship ol Georgia BEST FOOTBALL EVER PLAYED HERE' To be Seen at West Avenue Park at 2.30 P. M. Tom orrow. And what Cedartown High did to the Fourth District Aggies was a plenty Friday. A score of 31 to 0 ov er euch a heavy and strong tonm as came over from the District School at Carrollton was indeed something to be proud of, especially ns it cinches the High School championship of the 7th' District for us. Choice was the “bright particular star” for the visitors, and they did good team work, but Captain Cama- rata out-genernled them—and out played them. Hunt and Edmondson wore fast in tho halves, Mundy did good work In returning punts and carrying the bnll through the line, Janes and McElvcen broke up some dangerous trick plays,Harris nnd Bar rett did some fine tackling, Suggs and Judkins did good guard duty, and Rusk shone at center. Both teams played well—a clean game, in a truly sportsmanlike spirit. A good crowd witnessed the game,and all felt well repaid for going. And now you don’t want to miss tomorrow. Last Friday’s game was one of the best ever seen on the local gridiron, but tomorrow’s contest promisos to be even better.

About three thousand people called in a body on cx-Prcsident Woodrow Wilson in their observance Saturday of Armistice Day, and the distinguish ed veteran of the World War broke his silence of over two years and gave them the folowing message:— Mr. Wilson’s Address. 1 am very much moved by this won derful exhibition of your friendship and approval, and I have been reflect ing tpday that Armistice Day has a particular significance for the United States, because the United States has remained contented with the armis tice and has not moved forward to peace. It is a very serious reflection that the United States, the great origina tive nation, should remain contented with a negation. Armistice is a neg ation; it is a standstill of arms; it is a cessation of fighting, and we are so bent on a cessation of fighting that we are even throwing our arms away. It is a singular circumstance that while wo prescribed the conditions of the armistice, we did not concur in the establishment of permanent peace. That, of course, was brought about by a group in the United States Senate who preferred personal par tisan motives to the honor of their country and the peace of the world. They do not represent the United States, because the United States is moving forward and they are slipping backward. Where their slipping will end, God only will determine. And I have also been reflecting up on the radical difference between Ar mistice and peace. Armistice, as I have said, is a mere negation; it is the refraining from force. But peace is a very positive and con structive thing as the world stands nowadays, because it must be brought about by the systematic maintenance of common understanding and by cul tivation—not by amiable phrases but the active co-operation for justice, and justice is a greater thing than any kind of expediency. America has always stood for justice and al ways will stand for it. Puny persons who are now standing in the way will presently and that their weakness is no match for the strength of a mov ing providence. I think then we may renew today our faith in the future, though we are celebrating the past. The future is in our hands and if we are not equal WHITE PRIMARY Called for City Wed nesday. Dec. 6th. The City White Primary Executive Committee met Monday, and fixed Wednesday, Dec. 6th, as the date for the primary. The rules heretoforj in force were again adopted, the polls opening at 6 a. m. and Closing at 6 p. m., sun time. The following election managers were chosen: 1st Ward—L. S. Led better; 2d—G. P. Northcutt; 3d—G. A. Thompson; 4th—R. B. Parks; 5th —S. F. Marshall. All candidates must hand their names to the City Clerk by 6 p. m., Friday, Dec. 1st. A Good Investment. War Savings Stamps of the scries of 1918 become due and payable on Jan. 1, 1923. The people who bought these stamps will receive their full face value upon redemption, and will find that the money they saved five years ago earned every year about 4 per cent compounded interest. In or der to afford holders of war savings stamps an opportunity to continuo their investment in a safe government security, the Treasury Department is offering an exchange of War Savings Stamps for Treasury Savings Certifi cates. The certificates are issued in denominations of $25, $100 and $1,- 000, maturity value, and sold for $20.50, $82 and $820, respectively Holders of War Savings Stamps can get them at these prices upon applica tion through their own banks or their post offices. Exchanges will be made as of Jan. 1, 1923, upon applications presented between Nov. 16, 1922, and Jan. 15, 1923. ’Immediate pay ment will be made in cash of any dif ference due the holder of War Sav ings Stamps if he takes the largest possible amount of Treasury Savings Certificates on the exchange. The growing inclination of the peo ple to save and their desire to find a safe re-investment for their money leads Treasury officials to believe that a large part of the $600,000,000 in War Savings Stamps soon to become due will be exchanged for Treasury Savings Certificates. ’ to it,the shame will be ours and none other’s. I thank you from a very full heart, my friends,for this demonstra tion of kindness by you, and bid you and the nation Godspeed. Rlvstin* the attention of the beholder on the fact that the Ameri can Red Cross is chartered by Cengress a* an official volunteer relief organisation the dome of the Capitol at Washington, upon which is super imposed a large Red Cross, is the central figure of a new poster for the Annual Red Cross Roll Call. The poster, which has been pronounced one of the most striking of innumerable representations of the famous dome, is the work of Franklin Booth, a New York artist of wide renown. It will be displayed throughout the country during the Roll Call period, Armistice Day to Thanksgiving, when the Red Cress membership for 1928 will be enrolled. THE RED CROSS Membership Campaign is Now On. All over the nation the membership campaign for tho American Red Cross opened last Saturday on Armistice Day. Every man, woman and child is aBked to join the organization, paying at least $1 as a membership foe. One- half of this amount is kept at home for tho use of local Chapters in re lieving distress. The other half goes to the general relief fund, for wher ever there is any great catastrophe tho Red Cross is promptly "on tho job” with workers, money, provisions and medical supplies to give immed iate relief. While you can designate that all your contribution Btay here at homo, it is really worth while to con tribute also to the general fund as well. Many thousands of lives are saved every year in the new peace-time ac tivities of the Red Cross. And now the Red Cross wants YOUR help. Mr. S. R. Mendel, the local chair man, is appointing committees who will call on you between now and Thanksgiving Day, the 30th, for your membership fee. And don’t act as if you are doing them a personal favor when you give. They are giving both time and money, and you are asked to give only money. Be ready to help when the commit tee calls on you. A FINE M ACHINE Bought by County For Road Work. A highly useful piece of machinery was delivored to our County Commis sioners last week and promptly put into service. It is an Adams grader, with scari fying, scraping nnd sloping attach ments, and is one of the most com plete nnd up-to-date pieces of good roads machinery on the mnrket. Holiday Rules. The approach of Thanksgiving hns caused some of our people to ask for information as to postal regulations on holidays. The postoffice is open on every holiday from 11 a. m. to 12 m., and while no deliveries are made by city or rural carriers you can call at the office at that time and get your mail. Carriers, of course, are entitled to holidays as well, as everyone else, but the Main street carrier makes his morning collection on holidays just the same. KIWANIS CLUB The Kiwanis Club observed Armis tice Day at their luncheon Friday at the Wayside Inn, and it was a most impressive occasion. Rev. C. P. Will- cox £ave a brief and excellent talk, and the address of Maj. Homer Wat kins was a masterpiece. Fine music was furnished by Miss Caudle Waddell, with Mrs. Homer Watkins as accompanist. Each Kiwanian received a red pop py as a memento of the day. A resolution was passed thanking the Fire Department for its efficient work at the home of a brother Ki wanian, Mr. A. E. Young. And tomorrow is Foot-Ball Day with the Kiwanians. Mr. Morgan Blake, the Sporting Editor of the At lanta Journal, will be the guest of honor, and in the afternoon all will go to see C. H. S. “mix things" with the University School from Atlanta. Musical Program. The Ganus Normal Music School will render a special musical program at Eastview Baptist church tomorrow night, beginning at 8 o’clock.
