BOYS REGISTER
ATPLAYCROUND
All Urged To Get In
Now Director
Coming

The committee on athletics for
men and boys at the Community play
ground made splendid beginning on
Friday afternoon in the number of
boys VINO registered and received
their membership card for 1920, en-
titling them to all playground privi-
leges free of charge. Every boy who
registers and receives a membership
card puts himself in line as one who
can be counted upon to make the
playground a success. In order
words he becomes a booster and a
live wire for all kinds of athletics,
plays and games. The Rotary Club,
the Kiwanis Club and the American
Legion have each publicly endorsed
tn playground movement in Ameri-
Gus, and not only that, but they have
had also a drive in their membership
to raise funds for its equipment and
maintenance. 1t is now up to the
boys and girls of Americus to make
good, just as their fathers and their
brothers have done in these organiza-

BUENA VISTA And
SOUTHER nine TIE
Ten Inning Game A
Pitchers Duel From
Start

The SOuther Field and Buena Vista
baseball teams clashed Friday at
Buena Vista in one of the tightest
games ever staged in this section.
The game was called in the eleventh
inning with the score tied 3-3. 1t
was pitchers battle all the way.
Clifford PantOne, throwing for Bue-
ma Vista, struck out eighteen men
and allowed three hits, while Bill
Parsons, hurting for Souther Field,
struck out sixteen and allowed four
hits. Pantone struck out the first
eight men to face him.
A unique situation developed in the
first inning when seven men were
famed and one run made. This
came about when Woodruff, catcher
for the aviators, failed to locate the
ball when he swung, and the Buena
Vista catcher let the pellet get past
him. Woodruff scored later on an
other passed ball. Buena Vista in
troduced an unusual feature IN tn,

tions of which they are members.
1t is out of the membership enroll
ment at the playground that the
teams among the boys for baseball
basketball and volley ball will be or
ganized, and the track and field
teams as well.
In taking the registration for boys
the committee require that every boy
shall give his age, height, and weight,
and also the following measurements
for purpose of classification: neck
chest expansion, waist and hips.
A telegram was received from New
York today stating that playground
director from the national organiza-
ton of Community Service would be
sent to Americus for period of two
weeks to complete its playground or
ganization. 1t is for this reason that
it is important that every boy should
get into the organization at once so
that there may be no delay at the
start, and that the work may go ahead
with speed and enthusiasm.
1t Is just as important that girls
should be registered as boys, and the
committee on athletics and social ac-
tivities for girls will announce the
time and place for such registration
in the near future. One of the prin-
clpal features of the girls organiza-
tion will be the activity of story tell
ing to children, which mas now be-
come most popular feature in pub
lie Libraries, and other organizations
where children meet This ought to
be an attractive feature for college
and university girls who will soon be
returning to their homes in Ameri-
Gus, as a contribution to Community
Service.

Announcement
MIR. Allison, of the Allison Furni-
tre Co., Discusses Furniture
Situation, and Offers Solution
of This Problem.

To Our Customers and Prospective
Furniture Buyers
Just few facts as We see them.
as regards prices, etc. Furniture
factory prices are high, and we dc
not see any immediate indications
of reductions. In fact, we look
for still higher prices for the fact.
that lumber is high, and skilled la
boz is high.
While this is true, our firm has
been buying ahead, anticipating
the advance, and we have goods,
coming in on contract orders plac-
ed over year ago. The result is
we are selling furniture today un--
der today's factory prices and
making the usual percentage of
profit. We have not followed the
market by marking our goods
up. Therefore, furniture is not.
high at our store, as great many
might naturally conclude under
present conditions.
Notwithstanding these facts, on
account of the High Price Idea
prevailing, our stock has been ac--
cumulating in some departments
until we find our store full, with.
no room for shipments arriving.
Hence we have decided to re-
duce our prices in certain lines
where we have a surplus stock, and,
as we realize this is right in the
dull season, we have decided in
order to give every one the benefit
of our special prices to arrange the.
terms as follows:
On purchases of less than $1OOv
one-third cash, trade acceptanesss.
for one, two, three and fcGr
months for the balance. On puIx-
chases of 500 or more, 25 geT
cent cash, and trade acceptanceah
for one, two, three and fonE-
months on the balance.
For special prices, see our aa
vertisement on page Of the erSg
section of this paper.
