A visit to Danville, Ky., the land of tobacco, fine bred hoi- -s, luxuri ant blue grass and football player who “pray, not to win, but do th v best” is convincing. The whole community i imbued with a quiet confidence m ’he 1921 ’ “wonder team.” But one idea is in the min I. of the i doughty southerners. It is to beat Harvard this fall, the feat which they tried so gallantly to do a year ago and failed. “If all goes well, ‘Bo’. McMillin, the super star of the praying eleven, will play. Then we will Jet Harvard do the worrying on October 29th.” That is the talk going the round;', from the corner drug store and Ma ternity house alike. Every player on the old team lias pledged himself to return this tall I with tllf except ion of “Bo.” Hi: i plans are still uncertain. | Coach Charl'-y Moran, who built l up the wonder team, believes that i “Bo” will he back in moleskins when he hlows the whistles for the first I practice in a few more weeks. Big Bill James, star tackle of the I Colonels, put the sentiment correctly ; when he said: “We sure want to beat Harvard. ' If we are ever going to be able to do it then .t will be this fall.” Jimmy Weaver, the ' All-American centi i ; Red Roberts, the slashing fullback, and Montgomery, the other star tackle, are champing at the bit, also, for the first sighs of football weather. : * Robert Lee Myers, althVtie director land alumnus of Centre, has nrobablv had more to do with finding the] miracle players of ‘he school than! any other man. Myers was teaching school at Fort) Worth, Tex., several years ago. He j was . also football coach. His team \ beat every eleven in the surround-! ing country. Hoping to better conditions nt his alma mater he sent four of his not able proteges to Danville. They were McMillin, Weaver, James and Mont gomery. Those who saw the great “Bo” play in the Harvard stadium last fall will i.ever forget his gallant playing against odds that were to > great. “The Spirit of ’76,” historical pic ture which is being revived, was made five or six years ago but was withdrawn because some censors be lieved it unfavorable to England at a time when we allied with that nation against Germany. Eve Unsell and Mary Murillo, scenario writ")’;, have signed con tracts to write stories for Robot Ison- Cole. » o The Silent fcSß’ Policeman PICTURE yourself in dire ' ? Wp necessity ) of s the £ strong . arm of the law! 1 You [dash out ?of; your house (in j the night to call a policeman. - alas, he is nowhere in sight. That ' is : not’always t the’policeman’s * ijh fault. He has a good deal of* ground ' to cover, and he may be at the other.end of his beat. But, each night, there is a silent policeman standing at your street corner. There are'thousands of them in your city. They are the street lights operated by the big .electric light and power .company of your community. Crime cannot exist within the circle of their protect ing radiance. During the war,' several cities, in their efforts to assist in the saving of coal, ordered t the reduction of their street lights. ■ In one great city, the Mayor ordered that all such lights, outside of the central business section,' should be extinguished at eleven o’clock. Within an hour after the order t was put into effect three murders, a score of hold-ups and innumerable robberies, including the theft of the Mayor’s own car from in front of the City Hall, were committed. Before the night was over, the Mayor ordered the street lights turned on again. It is due to the faith of some 1,450,000 investors in the securities of the electric light and power industry that these silent policemen stand at your street corners. It is authentically ' declared that ’ 1,500,000 homes,' 500,000 factories, 5,000 churches, 60,000 apartment buildings,- 15,000 theatres and 5,000 public schools must be built immediately in this country. Many of these must be supplied with electric service. New streets will be developed and these streets must be guarded as your street is—with silent policemen. This means that,with public understanding and support, one billion dollars a year will be invested to develop the elec tric light and power industry during the next four years. AMERICUS LIGHTING CO.

NEEDS OF POOR 1 All BEING MET Bob Anglin Now Asks For Shoes And Scraps For Quilts The beneficent work of the Help ing Hand society continues to grow in usefulness through the efforts of Bob Anglin, "’ho i directing the movements throughout Sumter coun ty. To the Times-l‘e<order reporter today Mr. Anglin said that a number of bundlesi had been contributed through the week which would be dis tributed by him Sunday afternoon on his usual rounds to the homes of i those he has already assisted and I others to be helped. i Last Sunday afternoon two homes ; were visited in which clothing was left, as well as supplies of provis ions. The most urgent of the needs have been met, Mr. Anglin stated, j but the call is still out for contri butions of clothing in order that fam ilies who have not applied for relief may be assisted should an immediate call come. “Many children who could not at tend school last term,” said he, “will be enabled to go this fall through the aid of the sympathetic people who have so generously given of then means. One mother recently, in speaking ol the Ueprivai.ion her chil dren has sustained in being hatred from school through lack of clothes was immeasurably happy over the prospect of her children attending school this fall. “Our chief need now seems to be shoes. I have a call for two pairs of oxfords, size 4, for young girl. Also tor a pair of ladies’ shoes, size 6, and a pair of men’s shoes size 8. Many people have gone barefooted i all the year because of lack of means i to purchase the shoes. j “Another need which is approach | ing, and one which will have to be ; met l this summer in order that suf | sering may not come suddenly, is for i covering this winter for beds. I Throughout the year scraps have ‘been given me, and these in turn | have been distributed to the families, ■j who have been using them in piecing I together to make blouses for the lit L tie boys of the family, or for waists •|for themselves. Many families will ‘ be without cover this winter unless ■ something is done durrng the sum mer, “Scraps which can be given now I will enable the women of the fami : lies to make them into quilts dur ing the summer for use in the early winter. If we can get these scraps • I now, they will be doubly desirable. ; ; “1 feel that we have already done ’ ] a magnificient work in relieving the - urgent needs of the poor families I i.,.i>ugh the county, and that we are in position to assist them during the cold season which is not far distant. The sympathies of the generous have ,'been awakened, and it is an easy - matter to keep the needy supplied -I with the material which will be given I from time to time.” BAPTISTS PLAN I S.S.

Mrs-Hicksßelieveff 3y Four Eatonics | “I have taken four Eatonic tablets and they relieved me of sour stomach. I recommend it to everybody,” says Mrs. G. P. Hicks. If stomach is not digesting your , food; if you have sourness, bloating, food repeating, indigestion or acid stomach, Eatonic will remove the cause by taking up and carrying out the aciditv and gases, bringing quick relief and healthy digestion. Why suffer stomach trouble? Why not keep vour digestion normal and enjoy good health? An Eatonic taken after each meal will prevent discomfort and pain. Make the test today and see how quickly this wonderful remedy acts. It comes in bandy tablet form. Carry it with you. A big box costs only a trifle with your druggist’s guarantee. ® B LJIC K® (s ’ ' !
