- NORTHEAST GEORGIA TOURNAMENT
The fifth annual Northeast Georgia High School
Basketball Tournament, under the auspices of the
Banner-Herald and the Y. M. C. A., is now under
way and promises to be the most successful tourna
ment every held by these agencies.
-wwi'iL* are forty tenuis entered for the tounfamcn*
—fSh men and one coach for each team, making a
to&l of over four hundred actively engaged in the
tournament. These events have provdh of much in
terest to. the people .in this section of the state and
hundreds-of visitors throng Athens and attend the
senes of games which last from early morning until
laC&cvenings. There is not an idle moment from the
opening game until the last game in the evening..
Dunns seme hours of the day and evening there are
sen&al teams playing at the same time in the audi
torium at Woodruff Hall, which is one of the largest
courts in the strte. Besides furnishing healthful
exfittiso and sport, these games bring together hoys
anSPgirls from this entire section who become ae
on;, inted and learn to know each other which is
botmd to be helpful to them in later life.
Athens is indeed proud of these annual events;
AUfins welcomes the boys and girls and the visitors.
During the week the entire city Is taking on holiday
at§3;c and showing every interest and courtesy to the
vi«ttpr3 by extending to them a cordiality of the sln-
cerost character.
BRUSH BURNING TIME
In many sections of this state, the people have
adopted a dangerous practice in brush burning. Not
yo-itiuch danger, of spreading fires—that is to the
destruction of homes and business properties, but the
dnnu|ge..tbat occurs to the forest. Setting fire to
thr-wobds for the purpose of killing the underbrush' *
and clearing new ground is one of the first steps
taken on the farm in preparation for a new crop.
However, in recent years, the forest has become so
depleted until s it Is absolutely necessary to conserve
and .preserve it in every particular, if we hope to re
cuperate from our losses and rehabilitate our forests.
Stitle Forester B. M. Lufburrow has issued the
following statement: ., .
‘‘At this time many thousands of acres of titober
lands are being burnt over for many imaginary
causes, and, if this form of wealth is to be conserved,
certain simple precautions should be observed to
protect, as far as possible, the tender young timber
growth. In the first place the Georgia Law pro
vides that no timber lands can b'e burnt over with
out at least 24 hours advance notice, in writing, to
all owners of adjoining property so that they may
lie warned against possible spread of the fire.
"Secondly, the men doing (he burning should
take every precaution to prevent any spread of
their fire into adjoining landB.
K "Thirdly, ami- perhaps of greatest importance, no
brush fires should he started in dry weather. The
best time in immediately after a light rain. This
will, to a large extent, prevent the fire from spread
ing to the woods.”
The foregoing statement contains much worthy of.
serious thought and consideration on the part of our
people. If the request cf the state forester is car
ried out, Georgia will soon rehabilitate and recover
from the losses sustained by the destruction of .our
forests.

do all my tasks with a smile and a shout. Of fret-

world’s lookin’ dull—well, I’ll laugh in its face.
I’ll work like a trojan and do things up right,

everyone else is at rest an’ at ease, I’ll still be a
pluggin’ away, if you please.
I’ll make it so folk will be glad I'm aroun’. I’m
