The all Northeast Georgia football
M 9 m picked by Marcus Bryant, of
Athene has two Hartwell Hl & h P la >’-
' on it list. Kyle Massey, an end,
placed on the team as end and
had Sheats, of Winder, as the other
nd Kyle, last season, played such
remarkable ball that many of the
roaches and players of other teams
were highly pleased with his work.
His ability at grabbing passes and
great defensive work won for him
the distinction of being one of the
best ends in the state.
The other Hartwell player on
Bryant’s mythical selection is Carey
gkelton. He is shifted to guard and
ha- Burpee, of Athens, as his run
ning mate. Skelton was one of the
best defensive player in Northeast
Georgia high school circles and also
las an adeptneas at passing the ball.
Only one team gained the distinc
tion of having more than two players
on this Northeast Georgia eleven.
This team was Gainesville. Roth
stein, Gainesville halfback, was
placed on the team, and I would
place him on any high school team,
Ten-health commandments
1 Keep your mouth closed when
breathing, also when angry.
2. Drink cool water with your
meals, also between them.
3. Bathe daily, a shower, if possi
ble.
4. Eat slowly, this leads to eating
sparingly. Make your meal a ceremo
nial pleasure.
5. Exercise daily and breatne
deeply while so doing, but avoid
over-exertion and never eat when
fatigued.
6. Never read or transact any
business while eating.
7. Work ten hours, sleep eight
and use the balance for recreation
and meals. Always rest on Sunday.
8. Ever keep a contented mind.
Equanimity means longevity.
9. Neglect no portion of the body.
Employ a physician to examine vnu
at regular intervals and so watch for
the beginnings of disease and build
up resistance and pay some attention
to his opinion and direction.
10. Moderation in all things.
Eighty to 90 per cent of the infec
tious diseases originate in the mouth,
where the bacteria breeds. There
would not be so many bacteria if
people would brush their teeth often
er, and there would be fewer sore
throats. There would be much less
tonsilitis in children if their teeth
were brushed before going to bed.
Brush your teeth seven times a day,
before and after each meal and be
fore going to bed.

anywhere. He’s good! That’s no
joke.
Others teams to win places on the
eleven were: Athens two, Winder
two, Lavonia one. Paris, of Gaines
ville, was named captain of the team.
It might be interesting to know
just who was on this team so we
print the names of those on the team
and where they are from.
Ends—Massey, Hartwell; Skeats,
Winder.
Guards—Burpee, Athens; Skelton,
Hartwell.

Payne, Gainesville.
Center—Harris, Winder.
Quarterback—Paris, Gainesville.
Halfbacks—Rothstein, Gainesville;
Davis, Athens.
Fullback—Parker, Lavonia.
t Stunt Night A Success.
The annual stunt night, presented
by the high school students last
Thursday night, proved to be a great
success. Although a small audience
was in attendance those present en
joyed the jokes and pranks to the
fullest extent.
PRESIDENT’S BANKROLL IS
INCREASED BY ONE DIME
Washington, D. C. President
Coolidge was declared during the
campaign by his running mate,
Charles G. Dawes, as “one who
watches the nickels,” but a letter re
ceived today at the White House
showed that he does not always
watch the dimes. The letter address
ed to the President and dated Racine,
Wis., said:
Dear Cal:
Wishing you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
You do not know me, but one day
before you was elected I was walk
ing back of you. You dropped a
dime but you did not notice it. I
picked it up and kept it because I
was hungry. It got me a hot cup of
coffee and two rolls. Well, I have
plenty of dimes now, so I am return
ing one in the place of yours.
Yours truly,
A FRIEND.

A LITTLE FUN—
Flappers and Bungalows
He—“ Why is the modern flapper
like a bungalow?”
She—“l don’t know. Why?”
He—" Well, she’s painted in front,
shingled in the back, and short in
the upper story.”
Slight Headstart
Junior: “Pop, why was Adam made
first?”
Senior: “To give him a chance to
say a little something, I suppose.”
Love at First Sight
"Rather sudden, isn’t it? I don’t
see how a girl can marry a man she’s
known only a fortnight.”
“I don’t know how she can marry
one she’s known longer.”—London
Mail.
Good Idea
A little girl seeintg a one-armed
man on the street said to her mother:
“Mamma, will his arm ever grow
again?”
“No, darling.”
The child thought for a moment
and then said: “Well, mamma, if the
Lord made us, I think He ought to
keep us in repair, don’t you?”—Bos
ton Transcript.
While There's Life.
Farmer: “An’ ’ow be Lawyer
Barnes doin’, doctor?”
Doctor—“ Poor fellow! He’s lying
at death’s door.”
Farmer—“ There's grit for ’ee—at
death's door and still lyin’!”—Lon
don Humorist.
Saved By Confession
"Doin’ any good?" asked a curious
individual, looking over the rail of
the bridge.
“Any good?” answered the fisher
man below, "why I caught forty bass
out o’ here yesterday.”
“Say, do you know who I am?”
asked the man on the bridge.
The fisherman replied that he did
not.
“Well, I’m the fish and game
warden.”
After a moment’s thought, the
| fisherman said:
“Say, do you know who I am?”
“No,” replied the officer.
“Well, I’m the biggest liar in the
J country.”
Reverse English
Private Jones was summoned to
appear before his captain.
"Jones,” said the officer, frown
ing darkly, “this gentleman com
plains that you have killed his dog.”
"A dastardly trick,” interrupted
the owner of the dog, “to kill a de
fenseless animal that would harm no
one!”
“Not much defenseless about him,"
chimed in the private, heatedly. “He
bit pretty freely on my leg, so I ran
my bayonet into him.”
“Nonsense!” answered the owner
angrily. “He was a docile creature.
Why did you not defend yourself
with the butt of your rifle?”
“Why didn’t he bite me with his
tail?” asked Private Jones, with
spirit.

The United States could support
a population of nearly 300,000,000
with no greater relative dependence
on other countries for food and raw
material than we have today. A
population of that size would, how
ever, have to go on a very different
standard of living than we now hold
and the productivity of farm and
forest land would have to be held at j
a much higher level than at present.
