COny-Gardiner Game
at Gardiner Thanksgiving Day

Will Be Called at 1890 A. M.-cony
Squad Is Putting in Hard Practice
in Preparation for the Contest
Comparison Of Teams
1t is with some disappointment that
people in this city learn that the
Cony High Gardiner High football
game or Thanksgiving day is to be
played at Gardiner, after it had been
decided by the managers and definite
~ announced that the game would be
played in this city. The management
of the Cony team states to those who
looked forward to seeing the game in
this city. that it is not it's fault that
the game is not to be played here.
The Board Of Arbitration decided
that the contest this year should take
place at Gardiner on account of the
fact that the last Cony- Gardiner
game, two years ago. was played liz
this city On account of the smallpox
endemic last year the two teams did
not meet.
The Cony High team has been
working hard in preparation for this
game and the boys feel confident that
they will be able to put up strong
f1ht aeaints the down-river eleven.
A comI rison Of the two teams is
somewhat difficult because Of the fact
that neither has played the same OPP
moment, Each of the teams has played
four games and by a comparison the
odds lie with Gardiner. Gardiner
High has won three games-from
l,ockland High two games and from
Skowheyan once. Its only loss was the
Bath game. Cony High has lost three
cames-two games with Waterville
High and the game with Camden
High. the champions of Knox county.
The Cony High-Oak Grove game re-
suited in a tie.
The Thanksgiving day game will
commence at 1890 A. 81. on the Quinn
nv aeld. Gardiner. and it is probable
that a large delegation Of Cony stu,
dents will attend the game. The team

MUCH INTEREST IN
HELM ATTITUDE
Montgomery Expects Statement From
Him Within Next Few Days Re-
garding Senatorial Race

Montgomery, May 1S.-tSpecial-An
interesting question in Alabama now
is: 'sWill Heflin rum" Congressman J.
Thomas Helm indicated several weeks
ago that he might run against SEN
ator John H. Bankhead for United
States senator. Then Frank S. White,
Sr., announced. Little has been heard
from Mr.. Hefln until this week. when
he went into print to tell the people
Congressman Mason on the floor of
Congress. The fact that MIR. Hefln
used printers ink freely indicates that
he has a reason for keeping the rec
ord straight before the voters.
Mr.. Heflins reasons, of course. still
are his private property, but it
wouldn't take such wise man to
believe that he has an idea that now
is the time for him to run for sem
ator. Mr.. White is an avowed SUP
porter of the prohibition amendment.
Senator Bankhead voted to submit the
amendment to the states. Congress-
man Heflin voted against submission
Congressman Heflin probably figures
that the amendment votes will be di-
vided between Senator sBankhead and
Mr. White and that anti-amendists will
stand solidly behind him
Mr. Heflin two weeks ago promised
to make a public statement after Wis
itin2 Alabama again. He came to Ala
bama this week to speak at the laying
OF the corner stone of the Birming-
ham postoffice. Considering his prom
Use and his visit. one may expect a

ing with food profiteering and the child
labor problem. win be shown at the
Alcazar theatre all this week begin
ming Monday.
The scene Of the story is a fac
tory town, and the life depicted there
is declared to be a cross section cut
from human nature. The production,
though strong in love interest tells
principally of the struggle of the
people of the town to earn an hon
est living under almost impossible
handicaps imposed upon them by John
Bowling. master of Millvale, who not
only is the richest man in town. but
constantly is growing richer through
oppression of his workers and the adj
vancing of the prices of the necessi-
ties of life.
Cheating the Public" is billed as
cinemelodrama and is declared to
abound in thrilling scenes. There is
an electric chair in operation. Sc
ries of food riots. a thrilling night
race between train and an auto
mobile. and throughout the production
is emphasized the greedy. grasping ma
ture of the profiteer and the cruelty
of the slave-driving "Bulr' Thompson,
who is his factory foreman. The pro-
duction is one of the sort that people
talk about after they have. left the
