CIRCULATES IN BEST SECTION OF NORTH GEORGIA. VOL. 50; NO. 33. BOYS AND GIRLS TO WRITE LETTERS ON “BIRDS” THIS WEEK WISE OLD OWL WILL FORM CLUB FOR CHILDREN—ANNOUNCE WINNERS NEXT WEEK. By “THE SUNSHINE LADY.” “The boys and girls have written us splendid letters this week about their pets,” said the Wise Old Owl, when he came to visit me last night. “Let us ask them to write to us next week about birds —why they should protect the birds. You know, I’m very old, and many times in my life boys have shot at me.” It would have been too bad if the Wise Old Owl had been killed, would n’t it, boys and girls ? Then he would not have been here to tell us fairy stories. And there are so many pret ty song birds to whom we all love to listen; and birds which destroy harm ful insects and weed seeds. We should protect the birds and feed them. They like to live in houses that we build for them too. So writ" and tell us this week about the birds that you know. Prizes For Best Letters. Those who wrote to us this week may write again next week, and we would like to have letters from many others. The Summerville News will give a cas"h prize of 50 cents to the boy of girl, 12 years old or under, from whom we receive the best letter each week. Be sure and watch next week s Summerville News to learn who won the prize in last week’s contest for letters about your pets. And watch two weeks from today (Oct. 29) for the name of the winner in this week s “Bird” letter contest. Mail your letters to the “Sunshine Lady” at The Summerville News, or bring them to this office and leave them for us. Wise Old Owl’s Club. “Every boy and girl who writes us four good letters may be a member of my club that I am going to start, the Wise Old Owl told me last night. “We will give them certificates with their names on them saying that they are club members.” . “And another thing,” he said, the boys and girls who write letters to us may suggest names for my ciub I will choose the best one from the names the boys and girls suggest.” And then the Wise Old Owl told me some more of the story about Teddy and Happy the elf. Are you waiting to hear it, boys and girls? “Teddy’s Picture Book.” When Teddy’s new friend, Happy the elf, ordered the pictures to come to life and jump out of the book, Teddy was delighted to see all the little people climbing joyfully from the pages. , , “What do you want, Happy ? ask ed the big lady doll with curls. “We’re going to help Teddy take some of his toys ,to boys and girls who haven’t any.” “Oh, that will be nice,’ several ot the picture people cried at once, and a jolly little clown turned half a doz en somersaults. There was a pair of black and white puppies who marked at the clown, and a fierce-looking lian who roared until Teddy was frightened. But Hap py told him not to be afraid for the lion was friendly. A little blue bird flew around the room and finally alighted on Teddy’s shoulder. There was a cowboy, an Eskimo, and an old colored mammy. Teddy hardly knew what to do with so many little people running around and all talking at once. “Get your wagon, Teddy,” Happy ordered, “and we’ll all help you pack some of your toys into it.” So they hurried around the play room, getting ready for their adven ture. Teddy showed them which things he wanted to keep, and all the rest they piled into the wagon. Then Hap py and the cowboy hitched the lion to the wagon and all the little people climbed up on top of the toys. Ted dy was permitted to sit in front and guide the wagon, and Happy and the cowboy took their places on each side of him. Out the door the lion ran, dragging the wagon after him, and straight down the steps.. To Teddy’s surprise the wagon did not bump as it went down the steps, but rolled along as smoothly as if it were on level ground. The lion ran down the street faster than Teddy ever knew a lion could run, and all of Teddy’s friends who were playing in their yards hur ried into their houses in fear of the queer-looking party. The Wise Old Owl will tell some more of the story next week. Blazing Ice Box Is Task for Firemen San Antonio, Tex., “Send some fireman over here —my ice box is on fire,” cried an excited voice over the fire department telephone here. The firemen, accustomed to res cuing cats from trees, and all sorts of other odd tricks were a bit dubious but made the call anyway. They arrived at the home of Louis Martin —and sure enough found his ice box on fire. A plumber repairing a drain pipe had placed a blow torch too close to the box setting it afire.

Summerville went to Sewanee last Saturday and played its annual game with Sewanee Military academy. As usual, it was a very thrilling game, played between two closely-matched teams. The game opened with a bang, with SMA kicking to Hankins on his 2C<; he cirried it back to the 37. Both teams tried passes and plunges with neither making a first down. The quarter ended with the ball on the Indians 22, in SMA’s possession as a result of a penalty and a poor kick. Surnmerville held Sewanee and the ball went over. After two line plays Thomas punted, with SMA returning to Summerville’s 43. With McCloud and Marshall alternating, SMA made a first down. Sewanee then passed another first down, but the receiver roughed Tripp, the tackler, and they were penalized 15 yards. After an exchange of punts the half ended in SMA’s possession. Thomas kicked off to Sewanee as the half opened and they gained but a yard in three tries and they punt ed, with Beatty returning to the In dians’ 36 Tripp plunged for 1. Hank ins’ pass to Thomas was good for 9 yards and a first down. Beatty lost ’ 2; Hankins’ pass was intercepted on the SMA 46 and returned to Sum merville’s 47. Here they started th ir only march to the pay-off land. Ouinn plunged for 5 with Thomas tackling; Headrick tackled McCloud after 2. Thomas tackled Marshall for no gain. Quinn made 3 and a first down. Far- ! rar tackled Marshall after 3. Mar shall passed for 9 and another first ■ down. Hankins threw Quinn for a 5- I yard loss. Marshall’s pass was no good. Marshall passed to the 9-yard lire where Thomas tackled. McCloud plunged for 5. McCloud went over for the touchdown from the 4. Mc- Cloud’s kick was wide. After SM A kicked to the Indians and they could do nothing, Thomas punted. Alter two first downs, they were held and kicked to Beatty on the 11, he was hit quickly and fumbled with SMA re covering. Summerville braced and held Sewanee to 1 yard in four [ downs. Hankins made 14 yards and a first down on the 24. The Indians gained three yards in three downs, and then Climer made his only mis take of the game, a bad pass. Thom as fell on it on his 16. S-ewanee was held on fourth down as the game ended.

The Child Welfare council has an unusual opportunity for service to offer the people of this community. There are twin children in our county, who, through a series of deaths have been left alone. These children, a boy and a girl, are 7 years old and in the third grade at school. They come of fine people and have never been any expense to the county. What are we to do with cases of this kind ? Do you realize, as you look at your children, that this might hap pen to them? You might say, “There go my children but for the Grace of God.” Through the kind efforts of some Christian people, led by their pastor, Mr. Eubanks, they have been given a place in the Decatur Orphans’ home. Here they will be cared for and educated. We need financial help to enter them and to turn them over to this splendid institution. Will you send them by contributing to this? Will you send subscriptions to Rev. Mr. Eubanks or to me. JANET FARRAR, Chairman of Welfare Committee. LOCAL 4-H BOYS WIN PRIZES AT S. E. FAIR Local Agent J. P.

Mules, Horses Back on Farms Demand for Replacement of Work Horses Indi cates Trend. An active demand during the last several months for horses and mules was reported recently by John O. Williams, of the bureau of animal husbandry in Washington, indicating “Old Dobbin” and his long-eared, hy brid cousin, the mule, may be on their way back. Williams said there had been “a very active demand” for replace ments of work horses on farms, sad dle horses for recreation, and mules. “And there has been an upward trend in price,” he added. As a result of continued increases in colt production, which started in 1933, the end of the long downward trend in the number of horses and mules on farms is indicated this year. Williams said. Williams expressed belief a de mand for work horses probably would continue for the next three to five years, with a strong mule market for a longer period. However, large in creases in prices above those now being paid are not anticipated, he said. The number of horses on farms last Jan. 1 was 11,637,000, a decrease of 224.000, as compared with the preceding Jan. 1, or 2 per cent. The number of horses over 2 years old de crea~ed 4 per cent., but there was a übstantial increase in colts under 1 -ear old. The per head value of all horses and colts was estimated at 396.79, as compared with $77.05 on an. 1, 1935. The total value of hor •es was placed at $1,125,410,000, as -ompared with $913,870,000 the year before. The mimb n r of mnl°s was 4.685.000, ompared with 4,822,000 a year ear and th° per head value $l2O 42, '•ompared with $99.34 a year earlier. The number of colts under 1 vear -Id increased, but this was more than offset bv a decrease in older mules, it was said. Total value of mules increased from $478,998,000 to $564,186,00Q.

Highly gratifying results have thrilled the hearts of hundreds of Christian people here as a result of the interdenominational revival in the large gospel tent on West Wash ington avenue, an event being led by Lay Evangelist Howard S. Williams, of Hattiesburg, Miss., national known soul winner, and who remained an ex tia week in Summerville at the ur gent request of all the ministers | backed by the laymen of the com ; munity. The revival will come to a i close with three great union services i Sunday, after which Mr. Williams goes to Vaiden, Miss., for his second j campaign there. The children of all of the churches will give a special musical program Saturday night preceding the message of the evangelist. They have been well trained by Mrs. Cook and Miss Eilenburg, of the school faculty, and the two programs they have already given were well received. Mr. Williams spoke to more than 400 men last Sunday afternoon on “God’s Standard Os a Man,” the mes sage being unanimously endorsed at the close, when by a rising vote those present asserted they wished all sale of wine and beer could be stopped in this county, and all punchboards and slot machines be not allowed to op erate. Mr. Williams pointed to the fearful results of secret sin, and so impressed were his hearers that he was asked to repeat the message to high school male students Wednes day morning. Mr. Williams will speak at 7 o’clock tonight on the text, “And Still There Is Room.” Tomorrow night his theme will be “And He Piched His Tent To wards Sodom.” Saturday night the message will be captioned, “The Man Who Took a Bath.” Evangelist Williams has reserved three of his best efforts for Sunday. At 11 a.m., Sunday, he will speak on John iii:l6. At 2:45 o’clock in the afternoon his message will be on “Heaven —Shall We Know Each Oth er There?” and Sunday night on “The Blind Man Healed.” So far a number of grown people have been converted, several joining different churches here last Sunday rsbrning. M.-«yy have been publicly asking for prayer that they may be saved, while dozens have been restor ed from backsliden conditions. Hun dreds have been forward to rededicate themselves to the Lord’s service. Ministers of the city as well as laymen and leading women of the churches do not hesitate to say that the revival has been probably the mo’t far-reaching in the history of Summerville, and in fact it is the chief topic of conversation every where. At one service last week a dozen communities in the vicinity of Summerville were represented in the large congregation. All expenses of the meeting have been raised, all bills paid, and a free will offering for Mr. Williams as a token of the town’s appreciation for his faithful serveies will be taken la ter. Those who will not be able to attend the closing services have been requesed by the offering committee to hand their contributions to any persons in the two banks, to the pas tors, or mail direct to Mr. Williams, who will be in Summerville until the noon hour next Monday. Mr. Williams expresses deep ap preciation for all courtesies extend ed to him by everyone, and says he will leave here a booster for Sum merville and her people. “You are wonderful, and may God bless you all is my prayer,” he said feelingly to day.

For the second consecutive year, mineral production and values gained in the southern states in 1935. In ad dition to an increase in petroleum output, primary products of southern mines such as coal, iron ore, phos phate rock, lead and zinc, and lime gained in production and value. Based on the latest comparable fig ures available, the aggregrate value of the mineral output of the southern states in 1934 was $1,339,790,000. The increase in the south was $367,000,- 00C‘, over 38 per cent, in value, while the gain in the rest of the country was $351,000,000, or about 25 per cent. In 1934, the south produced over 43 per cent, of the total value of the mineral output of the United States. Texas, because of its vast pe troleum industry, led all the southern states with $509,521,000 in mineral value, followed by West Virginia, the principal coal mining state of the south, with $241,474,000, and Okla homa was third with $237,209,000, largely due to its petroleum re sources. Producing a high percentage of the primary minerals of the United States, the chief minerals of the south in point of volume and value are pe troleum and coal. During 1935, more than 646,000,000 barrels of petroleum came from the southern states. The increase over 1934 was 31,809,000 barrels, or more than 5 per cent. Last year, the south produced 65 per cent, of the country’s total petroleum out put. A growing important product of the southern petroleum industry is natural gas. During 1934, the output of natural gas from southern wells was 1.241,261,000,000 cubic feet which r presented 70 per cent, of the coun try’s total output. The south annual ly consumes about 84 per cent, of its natural gas, the quantity in 1934 be ing 1,042.315,000,C00 cubic feet. More than 172,000,000 tons, about 41 per cent., of the country’s domes tic output of coal were mined in the south in 1935. The gain over 1934 for the south was 5,500,0C0 tons, or slightly more than 3 ner cent. Coke production increased from 4,561,000 tons to 4,900,000 tons in 1935. Iron ore from southern mines reached 3,256.000' tons in 1935. an in crease of 903,000 tons over 1934 and the second consecutive year to reg ister a gain. Pig iron production of the south also increased from 2,530,- 000 tons to 3,142,000 tons in 1935. Mine production of recoverable lead and zinc in 1935 was larger than in 934. The lead output increased froml 107,744 tons to 122,445 tons and zinc ■from 115,024 tons to 141,215 tons. Practically all the phosphate rock mined in the United States comes from the south. Its output increased from 2,844,000 tons in 1934 to 3,024,- 000 tons in 1935. Lime sold by producers in the south ! increased from 820,000 tons in 1934 I to about 1,000.000 tons in 1935, about | one-third of the sales made in the | United States. The south leads in production or supplies a large percentage of more ! than forty minerals mined in the i United States. Thought Is Urged Upon Those Who Want Strength Boston.—Think and grow strong er, advises Dr. Frederick Rand Rogers, physical education direc : tor at Boston university. To quote Doctor Rogers: “The ordinary business executive l is stronger than the average day I laborer, just as the professors at I the School of Education show a greater physical fitness index than 1 their students.” The reason? Because thinking “puts into action that fundamental function of the brain, the co-ordi , nating of muscle cells of the body.” Doctor Rogers bases his asser tion on results of a series of tests with a manuometer or hand dyna nometer, which when squeezed in j the hand registers the inumber of pounds pressure. There will be a pie supper at Pleas ant Hill Methodist church, in West Armuchee Valley, on Saturday eve ning, Oct. 17, beginning at 7 o’clock. The public is invited to attend and enjoy the evening with us. CIRCULATES IN BEST SECTION OF NORTH GEORGIA.
