Thanksgiving Proclamation

1t has been said that November !

declared a holiday for our city, and
heartily agreed with the spirit OF
the suggestion, but knowing the con-
ditions and depressing tendencies up
on all business and business people

But as the one great day of thanks
giving is now close at hand am go
ing to ask every business institution
and factory in our city to close for
the entire day and allow all en-
ployees and business men of every
walk of life to fittingiy observe this
day and request that you attend and
participate in any patriotic service
that may be held.
I therefore designate Thursday,
Nov. 20, 1920, a full holiday, and
would respectfully request that the

enc may be privileged to cease the
ordinary avocations upon this

Letter From Union City Boy.

l. AtGCCI CAVm OulVn OALy Ivy
Prof F. c. Aydelott,
Union City Training School,
Union City, Tenn.
Dear Boy:
Was just wondering how the old
U. c. T. S. was coming along in foot
ball this season and thought would
drop you few lines. Have been
reading of few of the games but /
don't get to read about 'em all.
l went into Birmingham to see the
Sewanee and Ala. game, also to see
the Vandy and Ala. game and won
der if the Berryhill now playing half
back for Vandy is the same Berryhill
that was at McFerrin when I was
going to the Training School. Or per-
haps it was McTyere he was playing
with, cannot recall, at present,
which one it was. Anyway McGu-
gan would have beat u of Ala. If he
had started that kid instead of Neel-
ey. AS usual, more side lines dope,
ha! ha! But sure enough, Mr.. Ayde-
lot, that kid stood out in that crowd
like the Statue of Liberty in New
York harbor. He was speed, eff
cheney and sureness all in one.
But to get back to the subject
nearest our minds if not our hearts,
how is the old school? And also how
are athletics in general? Have the
kids as much pep as in the Honeycutt
and Rankin days? Does the old U.
c. T. s. spirit still live as it did the
day we "swan" Jackson a game of
football at Jackson. / am sure you
remember that game. 1 do too, and
will never forget it. Have picture
of that team on the mantel at home
and there it. will stay.
Well, Prof, there is nothing too
good l can say about the U. G. T. S.,
and if ever I can do anything for you
or the school ask me and l will go
my limit, Tell the team to "giye
'em Hail Columbia" for go minutes,
then rest, and talk about how it was
won. Hoping to hear from you real
soon and hoping that you may never
be defeated, I am as ever,
Your old pupil,
w. o. Warmoth,
Ensley, Ala.

lied technical experts with the Ger
maLs, and also meeting of the al
lied premiers in Geneva in the first
half of February, to discuss the total
amount due and Germany's capacity
for payment.
The French government is unal-
terably opposed 10 the admission OF
Germany to the league of nations at
this time, it was stated at the for
eign office to-day. Some drastic ae-
ton" would be a consequence if the
league voted to admit Germany, it
was intimated.
The foreign office said that there
had been conversations with Great
Britain on the subject, and that the
British, who had been inclined to
favor German membership in the
league, now have accepted the
French viewpoint.
The French hold that Germany
must prove her intention to fulfill
the terms of the treaty and live
peaceably with her neighbors before
seeking membership to the league.
The possibility of the admission of
Austria and Bulgaria is regarded in
a different light by the French. Ger
many has not yet applied for mem
bership.

A Storm.

A storm visited the Union City
circuit parsonage Monday night; not
to devastate but to bring the young
preacher and his wife peace and love
and joy and all kinds of good things
to eat.
This storm was so wide in it's ex-
tent that IT reached the district par
sonage and made the aged presiding
elder think that we are living in a
new era, that presiding elder should

Any one by the exercise Of little
care can get food as cheap now as il
was purchased six years ago.
Sugar is down to IL cents pound.
flour is approaching 81 sack, corn
meal is proportionately much cheap
er, rice is retailing at 6k cents a
pound.
People should eat more rice. Rice
is a good substitute for both -four
and meat. Irish potatoes are very
cheap, cents a pound. The Irish
potato is well-balanced ration.
Butter is sky high, so are eggs
and so is breakfast bacon.
Cut out sliced breakfast bacon and
buy it in slabs and you can get it for
20 cents pound less. Ham is much
cheaper than breakfast bacon. Buy
ham and cut out breakfast bacon.
Buy oleomargarine instead of the
dairy butter. The superior brands
are one half as cheap as butter, are
purer and more Clearly made. Eat
more cornbread and less -four bread.
Eat more rice and potatoes and less
breakfast bacon.
Eat more navy beans and sweet
potatoes and less eggs ald you will
have more strength and more health,
provided you eat a little fruit, either
fresh or dried.-Memphis Commercial

Easy for the Training School.

Another disappointment and an
other victory resulted from the
Groves High School Football team
at the Training School Park last Fri
day when the U. c. T. S. boys rode
over the visitors by score of sos.
At no time during the short game
did Grove show up in class with the
Training School boys.
The playing of every member of
the team during the entire season is
commendable, and especially that of
Gibbs, Talley and Holt during this
game. The crowd was limited to a
small number and as a result big
money was lost This team is worthy
of the presence of every man and
woman at it's games. The, character
of both sportsmanship and plays is
excelled by no high school in the
country.
The lads motor over to Martin Fri
day to clash with a very reputed
team, McFerrin. The game will be
called at 1880 o'clock. Let every
interested person here go over and
help us defend our distinguished
foot ball team. There will no doubt
be the biggest crowd to see this game
of any this year as there has always
been strong rivalry between the
schools. The last two foot ball games
between the schools were won by the
U. c. T. S. boys. Let's go over. 1t
isn't too cold. Put on enough clothes
and be a sport once more. Don't
miss the Thanksgiving game.

There was good attendance at the
regular monthly meeting of the Com

transacted. q SS
One Of the most important matters
brought UP for consideration was the
condition Of the main roads leading into
Denison, and in particular the one from
the Lehfeldt farm u the Illinois Cen
ctral depot. Denison for some time has
been nOtoriously famous for having
poor roads leading into the city and ex
celled only by our neighboring town OF
Vail. Members of the club expressed
themselves in favor of taking this i'm
portant question up with the city coun.
ell and special committee made up OF

council at its next meeting.

ciation, thanked the club for the enter
tainment given them at the time of
their convention held here two weeks
ago. Mr.. Bartcher presented the club
with group picture of the members
OF the association. which Is hung in the
club rooms. Mr.. Bartcher stated that
the visitors were more than pleased
with the hearty reception accorded them
and that every member is now a big
DenisOn booster.
A special membership drive is to be
put on by the club this, month and it is
hoped to secure fifty new. members by
