Toyland.

And how do you get to Toyland?
To all little people the joyland!
Just follow your nose
And 60 on tlptoes,
It's only a minute to Toyland.
And no! but it's gay in Toyland,
This bright, merry girl-and-boy land.
And woolly dogs white
That never will bite,
You'll meet on the highways in
Toyland.
Society's fine in Toyland.
The dollies all think it a joyland;
And folks in the ark
Stay out after dark,
And tin soldiers regulate Toyland.
There's fun all the year in Toyland.
To sorrow twas ever a coy land;
AND steamers are run
And steam cars for fun,
They're wound up with keys down
in Toyland.
Bold jumping jacks thrivein Toyland;
Fine castles adorn this joyland;
And bright are the dreams
And sunny the beams
That gladden. the faces in Toyland.
How long do you live in Toyland?
This bright, merry girl-and-boy land.
A few days, at best,
We stay as a guest,
Then goodbye forever, to Toyland.

FOR SLOGAN
CONTEST
Georgian's Prize Offer for Best
Button Caption Increases In
terest in 100000 Club.

The Georgian's 100000 club move
ment was given a new impetus Thurs
day when three Of the best known
men in Atlanta became actively iden-
tilted with it as judges of the S25
slogan prize contest. They are:
John w. Grant Wilmer L. Moore
and Walter c. Taylor.
THE constant stimulus our news
papers give to the Atlanta spirit is
one Of the finest things in the city,
or any city in the country for that
matter" said Mr.. Grant. The 500 900
booster club idea will result in much
good, and the census of 1920 will be
ample proof of it,"
Il want to help the 100000 club all
I can" said Mr.. Moore.
Il often think that we don't know
how to appreciate Atlanta until we
get out Of it said Walter Taylor
often when I was in other towns
and heard of the things being done
in Atlanta, I got as homestck as when
l first left home as a boy
Every travelling man. every At
lantan who goes away for a trip, as
well as all good boosters at home,
should wear one of the 100000 club
buttons You can't calculate the
boosting that such a plan will effect"
Since The Georgian offered S25 for
the best slogan for the buttons in
terest has greatly increased in the en-
terprise to get 100000 people into At
lanta by 1920.
The contest will last for ten days

of the farmers Of Floyd County, and

Vinson for reelection to the present

is known Of everybody, and is most
generally approved.
Despite the fact that Ennis defeated
Vinson as aforesaid. the two men are
the warmest of friends, and may be
seen almost any day that Vinson is in

can be. Both are high-class men.

Comparatively unknown until Cornish
was so severely injured in the game
against Colgate, Wilson, who played
quarterback for Yale against Princeton
week ago and Harvard yesterday, has
bobbed to the fore as one of the leading
backs of the country. In the game against
Brown, Wilson showed that he was i
capable player, but he was never rated
much better than mediocre, because it
was thought that Brown was so weak
it could not properly test the ability of
any player
1t was Wilson's work in running back
punts as much as anything else that
helped Yale to take Princeton by surprise
early in the game and it was this first
shock-the first punch, so to speak-that
helped the Blues cause materially
In the battle yesterday with Harvard
he was the individual star of his team
and it was mainly through his work that
the Crimson warriors We're kept from
crossing the Yale goal line.
Wilson is a quick starter. BY the time
he has taken five strides he is travelling
at full speed. He runs with his knees
bounding high and is therefore hard to
tackle.

The battle was one of the cleanest and
fairest games ever played in Ensley

The game started off by the all-stars

battle was waged in the middle of the
field.
Ensley made two successful forward
passes to their opponents one.

last night at the Ensley High school by
both teams and delightful time was had
by those present.
For Ensley, Ponder, Cook, Propst, Gin
gerry and Wade were good ground gamers,
while Blaylark and Hickman did fine
work on the defense. For the al-stars.
Gingery, Scott, Propst Davidson and

and defense

LOUISIANA STATE
SLAUGHTERS TULANE
Baton Rouge Eleven Has
Little Trouble Annexing
State Championship

Baton Rouge, November 22-Tulane
went to defeat by a 40 to score at the
hands of Louisiana State university here
today in a game played in the rain. The
ball was in university's territory for only
a sort time during the four periods, and
the Baton Rouge eleven by straight"
football tactics overwhelmed Tulane. AS
the game progressed the rain increased.
There was little kicking, the Louisiana
State university players seemingly pre-
ferring to plunge through in the mud.
The winning of the game carried with it
the championship of the state, and as
usual was of great interest to Louisians
The crowd was estimated at 5000.
