WAYSIDE GIRLS’ CLUB THANKSGIVING From the time of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, Americans havo been accustomed to set aside one day in the year wherein to review the past year and take stock of the dealings of Provi dence with us as a people. Sinco 18GS, the same day—the last Thursday in November—has been regularly set apart. The President annually issues a formal proclamation, followed by proc lamations of the governors of the va rious states. Praise for 1 lib goodness of God is never out of place and never unreason able, but it is especially appropriate on days set apart, by official appointment to notice tho mercies which havo fol lowed us, the blessings which we havo epjoyed, the kind interpositions which have been made in our bohalf, the bounties which- have been bestowed' upon us in order that we may render again to God for nil his benefits with festive joy and heartfelt thankfulness. The establishment of a day of thanks giving in the late autumn nfter tho in gatherings of tho fruits, was made by the early settlers of New England, in imitation of tho feast of tnbornacios held by the Jewish natloijs. it was a wise and pious act, and its adoption by most, of tlie states and at length by the general government of this broad land is an evidence of tho diffusion of tlioao religious sentiments which were at the foundation of the settlement of this country. We may welcome ttiis annual Thanlts- iiig in 1923 with the added interest which venerable custom has thrown around it, with tlio pleasing memories which early associations weave about our former celebrations of it with tlie recollections of absent friends who have shared it with ns, the reunion of fam ilies, the merry laughter of children, the pleasure of parents and hail its ad vent as a day of sacred and social joy. It should be observed with happy and cheerful voices, and for tho time at least the sigh of sorrow should bo hush ed and the torn- of grief restrained whiAo full scope is given to all tho kind- liijr emotions of our nature. Lot us crowd into its living hooTS tho pleasant memories of tho past, tho happiness of the present and the fnirest prospects of the future and make it a bright and gladsome dav. Last Friday afternoon Mrs. Whatley met our club at the club house. A dem onstration on “Basketry” was given and the girls were very anxious to learn, so each begun making n basket and kept verv busy all the afternoon. We have a nice one-room liouso on the school gromd and have it furnished with an oil stove, table and everything we need to make a kitchen complote. Wo wish to thank those who gave as the things we needed, so now we can have lessons in cookery any timo we wish.

A demonstration on candy making will ho given, so lot all the members lie present, as wo want to fol low; our motto, “To Make the Best Betti r.’’—Eunice Young, Cor.-Sce. HIGH SCHOOL NEWS LET’S HAVE WRITTEN RENTAL AGREEMENTS IS YOUR LAND POSTED? Now that tho hunting season is here, let’s give serious consideration to two facts. First, so long ns land is not posted, tho game belongs to anyone who will come and get it. Second, game birds and animals nre rapidly disappear ing and many of them will become ex tinct if farm owners do not take more interest in tlicir protection and preser vation. The game on privately owned land is tIre property of the landowner and pro tected by State and Federal law pro vided lie simply assorts his ownership. To post our farms all wc havo to do is to place in conspicuous places signs thAt hunting is not allowed. This applies to hulling, also. Especially large, big type signs may be had of your local printing shop nt slight cost. There are other reasons for having land poster besides the protection of game. Many so-called hunters nro not only careless of the rights of others, but are awkward in tho use of tire-arms :;nd liable to injure stock or even per sons. When protected, game may become a profitable crop for home use, and of ten is when protection has lasted sev eral years. Some farmers sell hunting nrivilcges by the day, by the season, or for a term of years. Certainly we should not let our game be killed and our fields trodden down by strangers without some sort of reward.—The Pro gressive Farmer. All tenants should have written agree ments with their landlords. All land lords should havo written agreements with their tenants. Good rules—and bad, t.>o—work both ways. Tho timo for next, year’s agreement and eon- tracts lias como and the sooner tenant and landlord make agreement, tho bet ter will it bo for the land. It is not nil easy matter to mako an agreement that is fair to cither tenant or landlord if tho agreement holds only for one year. The longer tho landlord can keep a good tenant on tho same land, the better for tenant, landlord, and land. When the tenant has no in terest. in the land’s fort lit y beyond ono year, tho land will .suffer and tenant and landlord also. The tenant moves to an other place that has been skinned by another tenant and the landlord gets another tenant to help wear out further where the last loft off. When land lords and tenants stop trying to “boat” each other and each strives hard to be a good landlord or a good tenant nnd work together year after year, then our farming conditions will be vastly im proved. * The first condition of a contract should take into direct consideration the improvement of the land and keep ing it improving. Another important tiling to consider is whether or not the stock, implements and other equipment is up-to-date, labor-saving, and effi cient. A poor tenant with good equip ment may bo more desirabio than a good tenant with poor equipment. Anyhow, under no circumstances should tho writing of an agreement be neglected or overlooked.—Tho Progres sive Farmer. PUT “WINTER CLOTHES” ON THE GARDEN Prof. I. S. Ingram, of the A. & M. School, closed the series of talks that were given us in chapel during Educa tion Week. His talk was a most in teresting one, on “Community Life.” He told us what grant opportunities life wo have as compared with the boys and girls of other countries. Also thnt n responsibility rests Upon each of us, and that wc should find out this responsibility and do our best by it. The citizens of Carrollton held a mass meeting nt tho city hall Monday night, November 26t.h, ftn the purpose of ac- miaiuUng themsnlves with tho facts of tho fjmmcial condition of the public schools of out town. Very interesting talks were given by the following: Dr. L. .T. Brock, Mayor of Carrollton; Mr. A. K. Snead, Chairman of the Board of Education; Mr. Knox Walker, Dr. Gil bert Dobbs, Dr. O. W. Roberts and Rev. E. L. Bnrbor. The meeting heartily en dorsed the plan for overcoming the drastic financial condition of our i cliools, The regular contest was held by the Sophomores and Freshmen last Friday nftorftoftn, the Sophomores winning by n large majority.

Although wo wanted to win the last game, we met defeat, tlie score be ing Cil to 14. All the games which have been played nt homo havo been thoroughly enjoyed, and some of the games which were played elsewhere were enjoyed by n few members of our student body and faculty. We now lid our football season farewell for this year, and welcome our beloved sport of basket ball. All the classes have 1 chosen tlicir captains, and are now preparing for the class tournaments. The Varsity is also beginning to pre pare for its schedule, and we hope (o have a winning team. All those present enjoyed the basket ball game between C. A. C. nnd the A. & M. lit II.

Many of tho students spent tho day at home with their par ents; others were in Atlanta to wit ness tho football game between Tech and Auburn. The quarterly examinations wore given this week. An increased enroll ment is ex poet ed with the beginning of the second quarter. The Bowdon Players presented “The Arms and the Man” on last Friday at tho Drakctown High School. The suc cessful presentation of this play was greeted by a large, audience, which com plimented very highly the dramatic abilities of the cast. The graduating class have Five Ways to Strengthen Co-operative Marketing 1. Local, community, or school dis trict organizations should be ©very whero fostered, and encouraged.' These organizations ought not to discuss Sim ply the reports and information handed them from official sources, but they ought to discuss freely nnd frankly all policies of their organization and of co-operation in general. But they should also remember that merely talking among themselves gets them nowhere. They should reach conclusions and then make these conclusions known to their county organizations, thoir county chairman, thoir district director, tho executive committoo of their organiza tion, nnd its president, .general manager, iloreil ' anc ^ department heads.
