Monung
The Union Recorder, with this issue
fhanc- - its press-day from Thur«dny
afternoon to Wednesday afternoon,
heinc issued through the mails Thurs-
<Uv morning.
The change was deeided upon by
.j, e managers of the paper this week,
Jheir ren*on for this change being to
p ivo their advertisers benefit of the
full circulation of paper. Realizing
that many of the people in the trad
ing territory were not receiving the
paper in time to take advantage of
th* Saturday bargains offered by the
merchants, the date was changed.
The Recorder, with a circulation well
over 2.000, goes into the Miiledgeville
trading territory, covreing pratically
every home to be reached by the
merchants here. Toomsboro, Gordon,
McIntyre, Devcreaux, Haddock, Ivey
and the districts where a large per
cent of the trade to this city
drawn are thoroughly circulated by
the paper.
Studying their field continuously
and keeping in active touch with the
trend of both reader .and advertiser,
the editors of paper reached their
conclusion to make this change after
a complete survey, and believe it to
be of benefit both to reader and ad
vertiser.
With the full interest of the many
hundreds of people the paper serves
at heart, the management keeps it
self alert to the necessary improve
ments to give all concerned the best
■ of service. Brondckifng obr field,
continioudy we endeavor to serve
every interest in this and surround
ing counties.
The p.-egre— of the iwper is xital
to the growth of Miiledgeville and
Baldwin county was the opinion of
the editors and' being conspcious of
this fact they ask the co-operation
of their clientile which includes
every reader.
Correspondents of the paper who
live nut of the city, will please have
ill copy in the office of the Union
Recorder Tuesday.

FIRST MONTHS WORK ENDED
AT G. M. C.
Report* Go Out of Work Done During
First of Term. Students Hard
at Work and Progre.t Made
Reports for the first month of the
scholastic year will go cut Friday,
acmrdnig to an announcement todnv
from the office of the G?orgia Mili
tary College.
While the system of grading is
essentially the same as heretofore,
one difference will be noticed in the
marking. The grad** A sub-four repre
sents work that is valued from 96-
ino*. A sub-three represents a grade
from 90-94; B sub-two is work from
86-89; B sub-orie represents work
from 80-84; C work is valued from
"9*80; and D work is unsatisfactory
Each li tter carries with it the num
ber of “merits” indicated by the sub
number. A student who receives as
many as eight “merits” in the same
sulyect during the term, provided his
ni' vhly averages are high and his
XX review grade satisfactory, will
l " f-used from the final oxnmina-
* " !1 in that subject. It is believed
‘bat this exemption will prove nn
1no-- »j V p to the students to do their
1 " ' work throughout the term. In
ri « “ will a student be excused
’ m ‘he final examination if his re-
v 1 -v work, which precedes the final
‘•lamination, falls below his regular
Monthly averages.

offense is nothing to be laughed at.
The Clarkesville team should be
twenty per cent better this week af
ter having gone through their initial
game and many of the rough places
polished off.
The game Friday promises another
good afternoon of the pig skin scram
ble. The fans here are being served
a rather classy schedule, every foe
being strong and dangerous to the
cadets. As the season progresses the
enthusiasm will increase it is certain
because of the flashy team fiiown by
the red and black.
Hostilities will begin at three thir

crowd is expected.

Psychology will play its part in the
1928 political campaign declared Dr.
George Harris Webber, dean of the
Women’s college, Georgia State Uni
versity in nn address before the Sun-
bury Rotary at the Susquehanna Val
ley country club last night.
Taking as hi* subject “Psychology
of today,” he showed how the science
has practical applications In modern
life, and to every individual.
So far ns the presidential cam
paign is concerned, he said the po
litical party making the strongest
appeal to the emotions of the great
mass of American voters will like
ly be returned the victor at the fall
Elections. The millions of voters
in the United States rae n
point where they can be swayed to
one side or the other by some popular
move, and he predicted that experts
In “mob psychology”, would have
profound influence in the political
moves that will be made in the next
two monhts.
The speaker for the greater part
dwelt on *ma!-adjustmcnt” in
individual, and showed how many ab
normal condition* are slow in develop
ment in persons, probably starting in
early youth.
“The modern home has been de
scribed as merely a “filling station’
where the family stop for food ond
shelter while on the move,” he said.
’Never was true mental balance
needed more than now. I nm remind
ed of a Japanese proverb which is
"The legs of the stork are long. The
legs of the duck are short You
’t make the stork's legs short o
the duck’s legs long. Why worry?
You can’t correct the’ ills and evils
of the world, but you can correct
those in yourselves. Ask yourself
‘Am I out of adjustment, and if
where?’ Nearly every person has
some maladjustment, which he
correct if he recognizer it."

Young Ladies' March to Tremor’s
Meadows and Spent Pleasant
Hours. All Have Time of
Their Lives
One of the most pleasant events
that comes into the life of the G. S.
C. W. rtudent body is the annual
hike. The hike always comet- so
within a few weeks after the opening
of the college for the fall term, and
the former students look forward to
the time, and the new students hear
about it as soon nil they enter co!l»g».
The nnual hike took place Mon
day af'frnoon, and more than
twelve hundred girls marched from
the college to Trcanor’.- Meadow on
th<? East side of the Oconee River.
The line was a long one, extending
from the college to the river bridge,
as the young ladies marched through
the business section of th? city. All
business was suspended, and Mer
chants, clerks and customers stood
in front of the stores to see them
pass by. It was a wonderful sight
for in the line were more than twelve
hundred of Georgia's brightest and
sweetest girls.
Dr. J. L. Beeson, President, Mr.
which had been received from stations
placed all along the route.
The Treanor Meadows is located
along the banks of the Oconee River,
and is an ideal place for an outing.
All formalities were forgotten, and
the girls joined in having the time of
their lives-, college songs were sung
groups of students put on various
stunts, they waded in the placid
ters of the Oconee and played various
tricks on each other. Before leaving
the meadow they were served with
weiners and cold drinks.
“When night had let her curtain
down and pinned it with a star,’
return march to the college wns com
menced, with college yells, and cln.-is
songs, which came from joyous
hearts, ringing through the air the
campus was reached, and ice cream
ard cake was served to the tired, but
happy girls.
The hike was over, but pleasant
memories will linger long, and long
after college days are over the 1928
hike will come back to the minds of
all who participated.
