Don't forget that Christmas days are again
drawing near. Don't forget that merchants in
Greenwood have the goods you want to buy
for those Christmas days. Don't forget that ev-
cry dollar you spend with the local merchant re-
mains in local circulation and enriches the COM
munity just that much. Don't forget that every
dollar you spend outside of this town remains
outside and decreases the money in circulation
just that much. Don't forget that an advertise

COMMUNITY LOYALTY.

Have you ever stopped to consider the fact
that loyalty to community interests is the highest
type of patriotism? Show us the man who is
loyal and true to every interest of his own COM
munity and we will show you in that same indiv-
idual a man in whom his country can repose abso.
lutte confidence in any emergency that calls for his
allegiance.
On the other hand, the man who is careless
and unconcerned for the interests of his commun-
ity is more than apt to display the same spirit of
indifference toward his government or his state
should any serious danger threaten either.
One of the most commendable traits of the
old Scotch highlanders was their loyalty to their
WI clan. Good or bad, right or wrong, the clan
had their first allegiance. The life and services of
each member were always cheerfully placed at
the disposal of the clan.
Try to imagine an entire state composed of in
Vulnerable communities welded and cemented into
a symmetrical whole, each striving to excel the
others, but each, from its own local loyalty, de-
veloping a broader and deeper loyalty that reaches
out and embraces the whole.
Utopia, you say? By no means. Merely what
could and would be the result if we could only be
brought to see that We owe allegiance to our own
people, but that the prosperity of others is in no
wise a detriment to US, but rather a help; that if
each community would develop itself to the Ut
lnost-physically, mentally and morally-none
could need be envious of others, neither would any
one do aught to detract from another's interest.
Let US develop community loyalty to the full
in Greenwood-the highest possible form of pa

FOUR FIELDS ARE
CONSIDERED FOR
COLLEGIATE MEET
Intercollegiate T r a C k
Championship May Go to
Pennsylvania
TO DECIDE MARCH

Four fields are under consideration for
the list annual track AMI field champion
ship Of the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. and
from which a choice will be made when
the association holds its annual meeting
IN New York on March 4. In the order of
the likelihood of being approved they re
Harvard, Syracuse, Princeton and Penn
sylvania
The Harvard management got in the
field last fall and announced that it would
make application for the games. OF the
other three universities, Syracuse and
Pennsylvania are willing to manage them
If the association wishes, while Princeton
would make application If the visiting
collegians would be satisfied with the
hotel accommodations there.
AS a matter of fact, If any institution
merits the games it is Syracuse. The New
Workers have been after them for years,
and until last year have always made a
vain fight, but each time their application
has been turned down. On one occasion
the Executive Committee recommended
the Syracuse field to the association, but
this body awarded them to Harvard in
stead.
There is only one objection made to
Syracuse. That is that the 22O yards
straightaway course runs through an
arched gateway beneath the stadium
This fact arouses a fear that there might
be an injury in the 200 yards sprint and
hurdle races. But those who have exam
ined the Syracuse track pronounce 1t per-
fectly free from objection. Syracuse has
this advantage over the Harvard stadium
in that 1t is possible to throw the hammer
on the enclosure within the running
track. Franklin Field being the only other
place where this is possible.
Pennsylvania is willing TO be a candi-
date for the games, but If Princeton
wants them the Quakers will support the
Tigers application Since the last foot
ball season Princeton has built a 22O yards
straightaway track, so that the Tigers
are equipped with as good field as there
is. The only difficulty In holding the
games In Princeton is the lack OF hotel
accommodations for the visiting athletes
and the fear that the attendance would
not be up to the mark.

Pennsylvania has the opportunity to
put another game on the right side of the

team at Weightman Hall. Columbia is
always a tough proposition to beat, but
the Blue and White five this winter isn't
as strong as the Columbia fives of other
years. Therefore, Pennsylvania should
win, because the Penn five is the best in
years.

RICE SEES YANKS THREADING
ROSY PATH THIS SEASON
Good Catching Corps Only Position That Needs
Strengthening, Declares Baseball
Expert
BY GRANTLAND RICE

The first ma iur league bail club that we
ever covered shadowed or played poker
with was the New York Yanks,
That was in 1908. a mere trine of 13
years ago when they busted into baseball
under the command of Clarke Griffith.
This was the Yanks' debut season, and
that first club looked to be wonder. OBJ
serve a few of the names-Herman Long,
Willie Keeer, Dave FuIts, Jack Chesbro,
Jesse Tannehil, Harry Howell. Lefty
Davis, Wild Conroy and others of equal ill.
But the best they could finish was
fourth.
The 13-Year Span
Having helped chrsten the Yanks at
their first training camp with a deluge of
words, such as pink OF condition." mid.
season form" tall and rangy guy"
game of his life" etc, etc. we have
naturally taken an abiding interest in
their checkered career.
For 13 years. from close range or far
away, we have watched Grif Elberfeld,
Stallings, Chase. Wolverton. Chance and
Donovan attempt to crack the crust of
Fate.
Three times the Yanks have fought their
way to second place, and on one OCCASION
1904, they charged within one game of
the flag. But after each such charge they
always dropped from second place to the
second division They have never had re.
serves enough to cover their captured
trenches.
The Turning Tide
The Yanks have had seven managers,
more than 200 ball players and have
played more than 1900 games, without
ever winning flag!
1t has been six years since they even
finished in the first division.
But, unless Fate intends to smash all
records, the socalled Tide has reached
its turning point at last.
With Cap Huston and Colonel Rupert
providing the sinews of war and estab-
fishing a munition factory, the Yanks
look to be out of the bleak woods of
rust-ready for another rampage along
the open plains of success.
Primed Again
The Yanks once more are prlmed with
talent. Provided that two Ifs develop,
they will be in the flag hunt all the way
IF Home-run Baker hasn't receded as
a slugger extraordinary and has held
ability to get around at normal speed
And If Manager Donovan gets first
class catching to handle his pitchers
Well, as Colonel Samuel Crane observes,
baseball is an uncertain business but in
spite of that established fact the Yanks
look to be as well fixed for a pennant
frolic as any one else,
The Color
For years they have lacked color but
now that color has come again in pink
glow to their pallid cheeks
