WINDER MADISON THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY VOL. XXVII. WINDER CLIMBING TOWARD TOP RING After Two Straights in Favor of Win der the Elberton Players Resort to Baby Act and Leave Field Elberton has come and gone, and our fans are glad of it. Over Winder way we love baseball, but we want clean ball, played by clean sports. We had rather see our boys go down in defeat in every game than to see them disgrace their backers by baseball dirt-dauber tactics. Elberton is too flue a town to send out a bunch of rough-necks. We learn that most of her players are college men who deplore the gutter tendency of the leaders. Surely Elberton will not long tolerate the few beefing toughs who disgrace the gentlemanly backers of the team. •Winder has enthusiastic fans who go to the game to see ball playing, and it is their right to get their money’s worth and not be robbed by the conduct of a manager who surely misrepresents the town that pays his salary. Such stunts as was pulled off at Win der by the Elberton manager will soon kill the game in the Million Dollar League. Small towns will not stand for blackguards and toughs. With two or three notable exceptions the players on the local diamond have deported themselves like gentlemen both in defeat and victory. In the series with Elberton the lo cals took the first two games, and in the third, with the score standing one and one the visitors left the field and the umpire forfeited the game to Win der by the score of 9 to 0. Winder had a man on second when the visitors quit. The first day the umpire had to appeal to the police to lead a big beefer from the field. Saturday’s game started with mutterings and ended as stated above. Winder started the week off Monday by defeating Madison by the score of 2to 1. This was said to be one of the finest exhibitions of ball playing seen on a Million Dollar diamond. Madi son has strengthened her team and the earmarks point to trouble for Winder before the series of six games are over. Settles was the star of this game, get ting a home run and a three-bagger, as well as scoring the two runs made And Wednesday Winder made it three straights with Madison by tak ing the gapie by a score of 3 to 1. All three of the games with Madison have been hard faught, and some of the best ball playing of the league was ■ seen by enthusiastic fans. Many Win der fans went down to Madison each day to see the game. Thursday, Friday and Saturday Mad ison plays Winder on the local diamond and large crowds are expected 1 to see the Climbers and the tail-euders bat tle for victory. # Standing of the Clubs CLUB W L Pet Thomson 20 5 800 Washington 10 5 760 Winder 15 10 600 Monroe 10 15 400 Elberton 8 17 320 Madison 3 22 120 WILL VISIT EUROPE Mrs. W.

This question is on everyone’s lips. It expresses the desire deep down in the heart of nine-tenths of the people. They want to know when they will be on solid ground once more and every man can plan with confidence to carry oi his business. When will the world catch up. When will it make good the loss caused by the war? It is estimated by leading authorities that 200 billions of wealth was destroyed and that nearly ail working capital, which would have been productive if it had not been wasted. About half the working capital of the nation engaged in the war was destroyed. It was the accumulation of years of industry, production and saving. It was the coined energy of a whole generation that was thrown away. The world can never get on as well as it did until this lost capital is re stored. How can that be done? By only one method, producing wealth and saving part of it. The time it will take to recoup the world’s loss depends on the willingness of the people to work and save. With full production and reasonable economy, steady kept up. we will regain the lost ground in a surprisingly short time, but with half hearted work, and continued ex travagance, the struggle will last for generations. With these facts before us, it be comes every man’s problem, every woman's problem and the problem of every boy and girl. Industry must be the keynote, production and saving the refrain and these must be the household words throughout the land and throughout the world before we can hope to regain the lost ground. While we reconstruct the w-orld we build ourselves. While we are mak ing good its lost working capital, we add to our own wealth. What is better, we are building character into ourselves all the time by our example and the precept that goes with it. we are building character into our children. In the meantime we are accumulating the means to complete their education. A Savings Stamp bought every week will amount to $2,600 in 10 years and this will put a boy or girl through college, or give them a start in busi ness.
