Friday afternoon the local
team played Perry’s first
team. Owing to a dispute which
about the correct way of
the game it was called off after
first half while the score was 21
10 in Perry’s favor. The local
team hope to meet the Perry
gation on a neutral court
Christmas holidays, when they
confident of winning.
The local quintet will meet the A.
and M. team of Barnesville on
latter’s court soon after the
mas holidays. The game played
the A.,and M. team Wednesday, De¬
cember 15, was the cleanest ever
played on the local court. Those boys
proved that they were “clean sports.”
The local team is sure of a clean
game when they go to Barnesville.
The local girls’ team will also go
to Barnesville to play the girls' team
there when the local boys' team
play the A. and M. team.
Life's but a walking shadow;
It’s a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon
the stage
And then is heard no more.
It is a tale
Told by an idiot full of sound and
frenzy,
Signifying nothing.

A CHRISTMAS CAKE THAT WILL
PLEASE ALL
Contributed by Mr. W. B. High
tower, proprietor of The City Bakery
“Take some human nature—as you
find it;
The commonest variety will do—
Put a little graciousness behind it,
Add a lump of charity or two;
Squeeze in just a drop of modera¬
tion,
Half as much frugality, or less;
Add some very fine consideration,
Strain off all of poverty’s distress;
Pour some milk of human kindness
in it,
Put in all the happiness you can;
Stir it up with laughter every
ute,
Season with good-will toward
ery man,
Set it on the fire of heart’s affec
tion,
Leave it till the jolly bubbles rise;
Sprinkle it with kisses—for confec¬
tion,
Sweeten with a look from loving
eyes;
Flavor it with children’s merry chat¬
ter,
Frost it with the snow of wintry
dells,
Place it on a garnished platter,
And serve it with a song of Christ¬
mas Bells.”

joyable and Uplifting
The White Gift Service and Christ¬
mas Pageant on Sunday night at
the Methodist church was especially
pretty and uplifting. The spirit of
Christmas was very attractively and
touchingly emphasized. $170.00 in
money was contributed for distribu¬
tion among the poor at home. The
cantata by the choir was enjoyed by
the large congregation.

AUTOISTS ARE REMINDED
OF PARKING ORDINANCE
Chief of Police W. A. Lyon re¬
quests The Leader-Tribune to call
the attention of autoists to the city
ordinance relating to parking and
| stopping of automobiles in the
streets.
The ordinance requires that auto
' mobiles be parked on the business
streets with the light front wheel
touching the curb on the driver’s
right side at an angle as near 45 de¬
grees as possible.
The ordinance makes it unlawful
also to stop a car in the street longer
than one minute unless properly
parked.
In changing parking position from
one side of the street to the other,
autoists must drive to the next street
intersecting before turning.
These provisions are figured out to
conserve parking space, make it easy
to get cars in and out of parking po
sitions without interference with or
other ears, and to prevent ac
cidents.
No thoughtful citizen will be in so
big a hurry or so inconsiderate of the
rights of others as to disregard these
regulations.

BRIDGE FOR VISITORS
On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. W. G.
Brisendine was a delightful hostess
when she entertained at bridge, com¬
plimenting Mrs. Sam Hurst and her
guest, Mrs. Charles Atwood of New
York, and Mrs. John Allen and her
guest, Miss Gladys Stephens of Chi¬
cago. Mrs. Brisendine’s home was
made especially attractive in its dec¬
orations of holly, poinsettias and
bells*,. There were three tables of
players, the decorations for the ta¬
bles being crystal nappies holding
Christmas candies, and place cards
featuring Christmas ideas. Shaded
electric light, soft and golden, with
the red and green decorations made
a scene most lovely. After enjoying
the games the hostess served a salad
with iced punch, color carrying motif. out j

yuletide Ethics II £
"V £ £
Y ULETIDE is the season of all seasons when good form $ 11
in our social relations is most carefully observed;
when the spirit of good will and reciprocity is most ii
pronounced. II
Why should it not also be a season for the special 1
observance of good form and reciprocity in our business re¬ I
lations? I
you are It is invited, always a or mark to render of good an social acceptable breeding excuse. to go where i £ £
where Why you should are invited it not to be trade, good unless business you have ethics a better to trade rea¬ I I
son for trading elsewhere? 11
Christmas It is particularly trading with appropriate the home that merchants you should whose do invita¬ your IS
tions are extended to you through the advertising columns of
your home paper.
Tell them that you saw their invitations in The Leader
Tribune, and note how pleased they will be, and how much
better they wiil serve you. It will thereby profit you, them
and us. A transaction whereby all concerned are profited is
a highly moral and equitable transaction. Only such trans¬
actions ARE ethical.
What will ih profit you or your fellow townsmen if you
save a few dollars on your purchases elsewhere, when it costs
you more than you save to get there? None of the money so
spent will ever come back to you or your town. Keep it at*
home and it will serve you and other home folks again and
again, each time with a profit to all concerned.
Trade at home this Christmas with those who invite your
patronage through their patronage of your home paper.
This is in keeping with the Yuletide spirit—good will
and reciprocity. These, like charity, should begin at home.
