Washington, D. C., March 4. —
Calvin Coolidge was inaugurated
/• President of the United States to
day, and is the thirtieth since the
nation came into existence.
The oath of office was administer
ed with the usual ceremonies, wit
nessed by thousands that represented
every section of the nation.
Exactly one hundred years ago to
day, John Quincy Adams, another
president from Massachussetts, was
inaugurated.
During the past nineteen months
President Coolidge has been engaged
c primarily in fulfilling a promise made
to the American people in his first
presidential statement to carry out
the policies of the late President
Warren G. Harding.
Charles G. Dawes, of Chicago, is
Mr. Coolidge’s vice president.
Quietly, in away which his friends
say is characteristic, Mr. Coolidge
has charted the waters through
which during the next four years he
proposes to steer the ship of state.
This has meant hard work and a
difficult change from his compara
tively quiet life as vice president. His
two years as governor of Massachu
setts stood him in good stead, and he
constantly has put into use the ex
perience gained in the state house
at Boston.

Annual Basketball Tournament Begins On 12th
HARTWELL TO HAVE BIG SIX-DAY CHAUTAUQUA IN JUNE
OVER 200 PLAYERS WILL BE IN
GAMES DURING THE BIG EVENT
Practically Every School In Hart
County Will Be Represented
By GEO. S. CLARK, JR.
Everything is in readiness for the
opening of Hart County’s third an
nual basketball Tournament, which
will begin Thursday afternoon of
next week and end Monday night
with the deciding of the county’s
champions.
The Tournament this year will be
the greatest of its kind to have ever
been held in Hartwell, more than
thirty teams participating in the an
nual affair. Never has there been
anything like it in this neck of the
woods.
The first tournament was held in
1923 and was won by Nuberg who
downed Reed Creek in the last game,
23-15. Last year’s tourney brought
more teams here for the contest.
This time Reed Creek nosed out
Eagle Grove for the championship.
Hostilities will begin Thursday
afternoon at four o’clock, when the
Grammar school teams of Union Hill
and Viola meet in the first game of
the tournament. This is the girls’
game. The Grammar school boys’
games will get under way at seven
o’clock, Cross Roads and Duncan
playing at this time.
Not until Friday morning do the
high school quintets begin their eli
mination process. Shortly after
breakfast—nine o’clock to bq exact —
the Duncan and Bowersville girls will
engage themselves in a scrappy little
encounter. Interest will be at a high
pitch by eleven o’clock when Gold
mine and Sardis boys get down to
real business and play their game.
Many Favorites
Not even the best critics in Hart
county have any idea what-so-ever as
to just which quintet will be crowned
as “Hart’s Champions”—for no one
knows, the teams are so evenly
matched. Among the high school
boys’ teams, there are three that are
as evenly matched as anything we
know.
These three teams —which might
be properly called the “Great Trium
virate”—are none other than: Nu
berg, Sardis, and Reed Creek. One
team is just as liable to win the
Tournament as another for all three
have strong aggregations.
In speaking of the girls, we think
that Coach Brown’s Nuberg outfit has
possibly a greater chance at winning
their part in the tourney, and will
doubtless come away with their
colors flying.
Because of the great number of
games to be played—thirty-five—
it was necessary to obtain the ser
vices of three referees. J. C. Massey,
Kyle Massey, and Coach Harvill, are
the three who will officiate in the
Tournament. The first two mentioned
are well known as referees, having
handled the whistle in some of the
county games on the local floor.
Coach Harvill, of Lavonia, is the
other official and is well suited for
the position.
We have arranged the schedule of
i games in the order in which they ap
i pear. They are as follows:
Thursday
Game 1. 4:00 P. M. Union Hill vs.
Viola—Girls, Grammar school.

NEW LOAN PLAN
IS GREAT HELP
RIGHT NOW
Applications for loans are already
being received here by local repre
sentatives of Agricultural Credit
Corporation.
The plan has the approval of local
bankers and business men, and is
very evidently one of the best moves
made in many years along this line,
affording a liije of credit right now
when it is needed most.
For Hart county the following are
acting as a loan committee:
R. C. Thornton, Chairman.
J. L. Massey, Secretary.
W. B. McMullan.
M. M. Norman.
Geo. A. Shirley.
The local Field Representative, Mr.
J. E. Carter, will furnish application
blanks and assist in making out same
for those who desire to get loans.
“Farmers interested are urged to
apply at once,” said Mr. Carter, “as
it takes several days to get a loan
through.”
Mr. Carter or the gentlemen com
posing the loan committee for Hart
j county will be glad to talk over the
plan with anyone.
A low rate of interest is charged.
o
Fertilizer Begins To
Arrive Here
Several carloads of fertilizer have
been received in Hartwell within the
past few days, and the dealers re
port quick sales.
Hartwell is perhaps the first place
in this section to receive fertilizers
since the new plan has been put into
effect by the big companies.
It is expected that shipments will
begin to arrive here from now
every day, Supt. Jones of the Hart
well Railway, reporting several car
loads first of the week.
NEW TELEPHONE
DIRECTORY
A new telephone directory ' for
Hartwell and Hart county is in pre
paration for the press, and when is
sued will be one of the largest and
most interesting to yet reach the
hands of local telephone users.
It will contain, as usual, helpful
information in the matter of using
telephones, how to call, how to ans
wer, etc., will also carry a directory
of the officials of Hartwell and Hart
county, and much other useful data.
The Hart County Telephone Ex
change, of which Mr. F. P. Linder
is the owner and manager, is one of
the largest rural community systems
in Georgia from a standpoint of
mileage and the volume of business.
The new directory will go to press
within the next few days, and soon
every telephone user in Hartwell and
Hart county will receive a copy.

“POWDER RIVER”
UNDER AUSPICES
LEGION AT STAR
Big Picture Show* Real World War
Scenes “Over There”—Here On
Tuesday and Wednesday
Those who could not be in France
during the thrill-crammed days of
combat when American doughboys
were turning the tide of victory from
the paranoic Huns, can have as vivid
a realization as if they had passed
through the smoke and shell of battle.
“Powder River,” the War Depart
ment’s motion picture of four great
battles in which our soldiers fought,
gives a portrayal which is reality it
self.
Impressive to High Degree
Taken during actual battles, scene
after scene grips and entrails the
spectator until he feels that he is
actually there in the midst of the din
and confusion, the dead and wound
ed. Sensibilities are not spared, the
episodes are revealed with a grim
brutality that dwarfs the efforts of
dramatic art and studio photography.
Catigny, Chauteau - Thierry, St.
Mihiel and Argonne forest -those
memorable scenes of the doughboys’
hardships and his glory live again,
and the whole being recoils from the
horror of it all. There could be no
more tremendous appeal for peace, no
more impelling urge to wipe out war
forever than this tense and bloody
spectacle.
It is not all stark horror, however.
The irrepressible good humor of
American youth pervades and dis
perses. the darkness again and again
and saves many a moment ere it
reaches the breaking point. One has
a better understanding of American
spirit and manhood for having seen
it, and a greater loathing of war.
"Powder River” will be shown at
The Star Theatre next Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 10-11, under
auspices of the Hart County Post
No. 109 American Legion. Matinees
both days at 2:30. Night 7:30.

WHITE & BROWN” CHAUTAU
QUA COMING FROM KANSAS
CITY MO.—LARGE NUMBER
GUARANTORS ON LIST
Hartwell’s annual Chautauqua will
be held sometime during the month
of June, it has been announced, and
with fifty-one of the city’s boosters
behind the project it bids fair to
be one of the most successful ever
held here, —and Hartwell has had
about fifteen Chautauqua programs
during the years past.
A representative of the White &
Brown Chautauqua Co., of Kansas
City, Mo., Miss Katherine Ryan, has
been in Hartwell the past week se
curing guarantors for the week’s en
tertainment.
The White & Brown Chautauqua
Co., while new to this section, has
been operating for more than 25
years, and will bring to Hartwell
perhaps something new in the Chau
tauqua line.
Other Georgia cities to have the
same Chautauqua this summer nro
Madison, Covington, Gainesville,
Toccoa, Decatur, Washington, Cedar
town and others.
This summer’s Chautauqua will
last for six whole days and nights,
an increase of one day over the
past few years’ programs.
The opening of the program, Miss
Ryan stated, will very likely be a
farce comedy, “The Nervous Wreck,”’
that very recently completed a big
run on Broadway; there will be a
harp ensemble, composed of seven
or eight harps, with flutes and a
soprano soloist, this number being a
rare treat for those who love music
and well worth the price of a season
ticket.
There will be a girl’s concert—
beautiful girls, all artists; Kings
berg, who will expose the tricks in
spiritualism and magic; a male quar
tet, an instrumental quintet, a num
ber of fine speakers and lecturers on
some of the important questions of
the day, and many other entertaining
and instructive numbers.
However, the foregoing is but a
tentative outline of some of the fine
things that muy be expected, accord
ing to Miss Ryan, who stated that of
ten a great many of the best attrac
tions are booked after programs are
announced.

REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT
IN GIRLS’ CLUB WORK
“If a man empties his purse into
his head, no man can take it away
from him; an investment in know
ledge always pays the best interest.”
So said Benjamin Franklin, and that
is the adage that is being followed
in girls’ club work in Georgia. The
concentration of human effort, the
elimination of waste, the acquire
ment of personal independence and
the consequent development of a
feeling of civic responsibility, and a
need for scientific training in home
making form the basis upon which
the future ideals of the common
wealth rests, and it is along these
lines that the Girls’ Club Department
of the State College of Agriculture is
stressing training.
As an economic factor in the de
velopment of the state, there is no
greater movement than girls’ club
work, declares Miss Lois Dowdle,
State Agent. From the organiza
tion of two counties in 1911, there
has come the development of such
work in more than seventy counties
in Georgia at the present time. Dur
ing this period the work has definite
ly influenced the lives of more than
84,000 girls who have created wealth
to the value of $2,746,000.
Girls’ Club work is based on a
progressive four-year program. Pro
motion cards are issued at the close
of each year and upon the satis
factory completion of the four-year
program, the girls receive certifi
cates of award issued by the College
of Agriculture.
