WILLIAM ]. AULsEBR0OK,
ROY McCRACKEN BADLY HURT.

At the ball game at Kiowa Sunday
Roy McCracken, eldest son of Mr..
and Mrs G. A. McCracken, was hit
on the head with a hot foul ball,
putting him in a state of uncon-
5ciousness for nearly twelve hours.
Roy was keeping score, in a crowd
of rooters, who acted like maniacs,
and who it seemed, wanted to crowd
the batter from the box, when hit.
rhe ball made its mark just in front
IF the left ear, cracking the jaw
bone and injuring the facial nerves;
then, glancing upward, it struck the
skull above the temple for the second
jolt.
No doctor was available at Kiowa,
whereupon, Roy was put in Ham
mond's Buick and rush to Elizabeth.
DR.. Witter was called Immediately
upon arrival in Elizabeth, who made
examinations, and advised it best,
not to take the lad to Denver, as the
moving might of caused the injury
to be fatal, which was then bad
enough. Through the night, Sun
day, fifteen commissions overcome
the dazed person. Monday morning
he came too, not knowing how or
what hit him, nor how he came
home. We are glad to state that
at this writing he is out of the real
danger, and also can say we miss

PAVILION UNDERGOING REPAIRS

Last Wednesday evening, the
Elizabeth Commercial Association
called a meeting and brought up the
necessary business of interest to the
organization.
The one great feature promulgated
was the enlarging the Pavilion and
the schedule of dances,-nine in all
to be given during the coming
season, by the Association.
The men are now at work, repair
ing the damage caused by the big
,now, and building on to the east
side of the hall, making the floor
area eigh feet wider the entire
length.
Saturday, May 20, is the date set
and advertised for the big opening
dance. Keep awake and read the
big bills when put out.
1t is necessary that you should
attend these dances, those who en-
Joy the rhythmic step; for there is

IT'S WORTH WHILE.

The Tribune and Banner, since
the combination went into effect
has enrolled four new members or
its roster. Three of whom are on
the books in the writer's charge
namely, Carl Urbaschek, of Hill
Top; p p. Patterson and the Cor
essel Brothers of Elizabeth. We
can't hesitate here, for a number of
our old readers have pushed their
subscriptions for another year.
Another rrominSnt feature and
one worthy of mention, which we are
very proud to narrate, is the man
ner in which our rural correspon-
dents are showing interest in the
combined paper. We have a rural
news list that staggers the various
neighboring papers. Not only that,
but our correspondents have caused
considerable compliments to be
passed upon the paper which repre-
sents them in many ways.
And yet, we're not satisfied. We
want more country news writer's
from other neighborhoods. Don't
let the ones who are helping now, do
it all, pu: your community in the
public's mind too. Some communities
right at hand, we doubt that many
know of its existance.
This is your chance to tell all
you know. all you hear, and half
that you surmise. The women as
well as the men. we care which, so
we get news from your community.
MISUNDERSTANDING, stationery and
the paper is yours in return for the
news.
Correspondents, who are now
writing, are asked to stop at this
office in Elizabeth, or at the post
office in Elbert and get stationery,
if out; as in particular, we do not
know who some of our correspon-
dents are, and want them to keep
up the good work.

SAYSSOME ONE
MUST AID CROPS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-Declar-
ing some one must finance this years
crops, George P. Hampton, manag-
ing director of the Farmers Nation
al Council, today wrote the Federal
Reserve board suggesting rhat IN the
event the board definitely decides
against making an effort to get its
members to discount farm paper and
warehouse receipts, the government
borrow money and deposit it in the
national banks to be loaned to the
farmers at not more than per cent
in excess of the rate the govern
ment pays. The farmers thus would
be able, Hampton says, to hold at
least a part of their crops until they
can get the cost of production plus
a reasonable profit or until there is
an effective consumption demand.

ENDEAVORING TO KEEP
FAITH, SAYS cox,

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 1S-Gov-
ernor Cox today opened his second
eastern campaign with an address
here to first voters, urging them to
disregard partisanship and vote as
Americanss.
"Americanization," he said. "is
but another word for construction.
Americanism isn't selfishness but it
means honor, loyalty, progress, hu-
manity and peace. When talk of
a League of Nations, / am present.
ing no new spirit, but simplve endeav-
orlng to keep the faith of America"
Stating that first voters represent
a new generation, Governor Cox said
civilization was "like a relay race
each generation taking the ball from
the preceding and contributing it's
share toward world progress"
Young men who are first voters
ind themselves in distinguished COM
pany this year." said he, "for the
mothers of America have been given
the rights to which they are entitled.
| have no doubt what the mothers of
America will do in the forthcoming
nor have | single doubt what the
young men will do. Mother and SON
link two generations which stand for
peace, won by the sons and made
permanent by the mothers of Amer

ALBANY WOMEN PLEDGE
TO VOTE IN PRIMARY.

ALBANY, Oct. 18-An enthuslas-
tic group of women citizens met
last weekend at the city hall and
organized League of Women Vot-
ers for Dougherty county, and pledg-
ed themselves to register for the mu-
nicipal primary and lection, when
the books open October %. No of
ficers were elected, but pledges
were given to support the suffrage
movement in this county land when
the books are opened there will be
several hundred women to register.
Many who couldn't be present sent
their names and declared themselves
anxious to exercise the privilege of
the vote. That it is a srious mat
ter to the women of Albany and
Dougherty county is proven by the
large number of representative wo-
men who are taking an active stand
in the matter of suffrage, even
though they naturally shrink from
it. Many are held back by timidity,
and fear of ridicule, and those who
are brave enough to be among the
pioneers are doing so from sense
of duty.

WOMEN TO VOTE
INCITY ELECTION
HERE ON DEC. Is
Eligible To Register And
Cast Ballot, Says
Lane

The women of Americus are
eligible to register for and partici-
pate in the coming municipal cleo
tion in which a mayor, three alder
men and other officials will be
chosen, and movement is on foot
among progressive women of the
community for them to do so, it de-
veloped today. The city registra-
ton books will be opened by City
Clerk and Treasurer Eldridge on
November /, to remain open until
the Saturday preceding election
which will be Wednesday, December
Is.
City Attorney W, 7, Lane today,
after consulting the terms OF the city
charter, confirmed the statements
of the women that they are entitled
to vote in the coming election.
Il find nothing to prohibit them
registering and voting" said Mr..
Lane in an interview The city
charter fixes the city election date
as the Wednesday preceding the
third Saturday in December each
year. 1t prescribes that the regis
tration boks shall be open from the
first Monday in November, which is
November 1 this year, and remain
open until Saturday preceding the
election; and it makes no sex dis
tinction in fixing the eligibility for
registering. Inasmuch as the 10th
federal amendment has made women
eligible to vote equally with men,
no enabling act is required from any
body to permit the women to par
ticipate in the city election here. 1t
might be graceful thing for the
city council by resolution to invite
them to participate, but they already
have the right to register and vote
without any action whatsoever, ac-
cording to my belief"
With the national election now
occupying the public interest, the
coming city election has received no
attention whatsoever from the pub
lie up to this time. However, it is
expected to take on some interest
during the coming month. The Of
fices to be filled because of expira-
ton of terms are: Mayor, three
aldermen to succeed C. H. Burke, ].
T. Warren and H. B. Mashburn; two
members of the police commissionI
and a city executive committee of
five members.

HINTS SENATOR
PUTS FRANCE In
SEAT OF PERFIDY
Says That Nation Has
Always Been Found
Honorable

MARION, OHIO, Oct. i8.-Sena-
tor Harding has declined, since his
Greencastle speech, to elaborate on
his statement that France had sent
spokesman to him, asking that
America take the lead in the forma-
ton of an association of nations.
The nominee may have reply to
President Wilson to make public
tonight.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Presi-
dent Wilson today directed inqulr-
les to both the French government
and Senator Harding regarding the
latter's statement that he had been
informally" approached by repre-
sentative of France and asked to
take the lead in the formation OF an
association of nations.
Wilson today addressed a letter
m Senator Harding relative to the
latter's statement OF Saturday that
he had been approached informally
by representative of the French
government relative to a new asso-
ciation o. Nations.
Quoting the dispatch dated st.
Louis, October 16, the president SAID:
Il need not point out to you
the grave and extraordinary infer
ence to be drawn from such a state
ment, namely that the government
OF France. which is a member of the
League of Nations, has approached a
private citizen of a nation which is
not member of the League, with a
request "that the United States lead
the way to world fraternity" De-
claring the State department had
always found the government of
France most honorably mindful of its
international obligations and punctil-
iously careful to observe all the pro-
prieties of international intercourse
the president wrote he hesitated ito
draw the inference to which / have
referred unless | am assured by Won
that you actually made the state
ment."
