the baseball season .
• J The University of Get rgia Daseball team opens
Hie 1S23 season on Sanford Field Wednesday after
noon and this game will be followed during March,
April and May with twenty games in Athens. These
games will bring here teams from the leading col
leges and Universities of the south, east and H,orth.
In fact no schedule ever arranged by a southern col
lege had so many colorful diamond games as does
the Georgia schedule offer for this year. Following
the game Wednesday is the opening game of the year
Thursday against the University of Pennsylvania.
Athens has no better medium of advertising than
the athletic teams representing the University; there
is no other agency perhaps that-brings so many visi
tors and so much trade to Athens as these athletic
Events, especially baseball and footbalj. In addi
tion, a form of amusement is afforded of the highest
type. It is always a pleasure to see the finest ath
letes of the country contest in wholesome sport as do
the high types oi young manhood participating in the
games here. The sportsmanship is also of the highest
type and it.behpoves the people of Athens to attend
these games,’to encourage them and to boost them.
> From a purely selfish pecuniary standpoint their
success means much to the city. It should not be
said'that these games are supported more by pat
ronage outside of the city than from within. These
games are something that all Athens feels a pride in,
or should and it would be most appropriate to make
the game against Pennsylvania Thursday a gala
lyent and swell the attendance to the stands’ capaci-
"ty and show by the act of attending the game that
Athens does realize ,the great importance of these
athletic events and will support them as they de-
EORGIA’S CORNER ON SWEET POTATOES
‘th 838,027 bushels of sweet potatoes reported
hand, Georgia curing houses on March 1st,
A very full report from Georgia shows approxi-
15 per cent less potatoes on hand than on
1 a year ago, or 19 per cent less in the com-
~ storage houses, which now. have on hand for
jit about 800,000 bushels out of the total 828,-
bushels reportad. - In the northern part of the
and in the west central division, » where , com-
ial dweet potatoes are being tried out, the
ount of potatoes cn hand is much greater, than last
and they are being hfeld much longer than in.
jlder southern sections. In the old established
iwest district there is some decrease in holdings,
ie south central districts having one-third of the
" otal storage capacity, and in the southeast, both
Ich sections plunged heavily on sweet potatoes
; season, there is a comparatively small supply
band now.”

State School Supervisor J.
O. Martin la on the right line
in hie advocacy of eonsolidat-
ed schools for county and city.
Foe a number of years the Banner-
Herald has advocated the country
,mit system and it believes that
iur people will yet adopt the ays-
,em. Such a system would give to
the child in the rural districts the
tame advantages ns are now en
joyed by the child in the town oi
"ity where there Bre public school
systems. Clarke county should by
ail means adopt the unit system,
it is not a large county in area
and the city’s graded and high
schools would be thrown open to
all children of the county. Mr.
Martin is doing a splendid Work in
advocating the county ' unit sys
tem which we hope to see establish-

A weekly exchange tells of.
an occurrence which lost that
newspaper two subscribers, if
not more. Newspaper offices

ities on all matters and subjoets.
Here is ho-.v. one newspaper editor
got. tangled up in attempting to re-j
ply-to some of the questions com^
moniy asked of the editor. Two
of his subscribers wrote to ask
him a remedy for their respective
troubles. Number' fa happy fath-
fortunately transposed their two
names with the result that Num
ber 1, who was blessed with the
twins, road in reply to his guery:
“Cover them carefully with straw
and set tire to them, and the lit
tle pests ater jumping about in
the flames a few minutes will
speedily be settled.” Whilst Num
ber 2. plagued with grasshoppers,
Was told to “Give a little castor
oil and rub their gums gently with
a ring.”
