The producers Of raw oil are now
being squeezed by the refiners COM
bine. Prices have dropped in the Mid
Continent field from over So per bar
rel to $l.75 in six months time. John
D. Rockefeller and his confederate oil
refiners have a cinch on the oil produc-
ers and just want to let the gentlemen
know where to get off. Oil men don't
believe in cooperation and should
gladly submit to exploitation.

Seeks To Put School
In Reach Of Every
Child In Palestine

JERUSALEM, Oct. 10.-(Associated
Press Mail)-The British government,
which has a mandate over Palestine,
has undertaken a plan to place a
school within the reach of every child
in Palestine. 1t hopes to accomplish
this within a few years.
The purpose is to establish so new
schools leach year, these to be- dis
tributed throughout Palestine as the
need is greatest. Already hundreds
of children are receiving for the first
time the benefits of an education.
Before the war, Jerusalem, then a
city of some $4,000 inhabitants, could
not boast of a single government high
school. Even now 20 persons out of
every 100 do not know how to read
and write.
The path of educational develop
ment in Palestine contains one great
stumbling block, the lack of crorcla-
ton and unity among the liffereny eie-
ments of population. The government
schools today are attended only by
Mohammedans.
There is great need for institutions
of higher education. At present, there
is not a college in the entire state
of 1000, 900 inhabitants. The Amer
lean university of Beirut, Syria, is
the only place open 20 Palestinians
seeking higher education.
The authorities recognize this lack
of educational opportunity but find
themselves helpless to remedy it ow-
ing to the inability to obtain funds.
There has been a great deal of talk
in recent years about establishing a
Hebrew university in Jerusalem. It's
plans have been drawn and the corner
stone has been laid but the money
to build it has not been secured and
it remains in the realm of things yet
to be.

United States Tries
Naval R%etrenchment

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Associated
Press MaiD.-Naval retrenchment is
being put into practice with the utili-
cation of naval repair ships in the
salvage of old battleships and other.
wise materially assisting in the count
less jobs which ordinarily have gone
to navy yards.
1t has been the custom heretofore
to allow repair ships to undertake
small necessary jobs for the fleets
only when they were anchored far
from navy yards or other land bases.
Through the Encouragement of ship
repair allotments, it now has beer
found practical to have these indis-
pensable mother" ships do much
more than was formerly required of
them. So henceforth they will spend
long periods in the navy yards and,
it is expected, effect economies in
naval work.
The P~rometheus, Atlantic fleets re-
pair ship, and the Black Hawk, flotilla
repair ship, are lying in the New York
navy yard after having engaged in
dismantling the pre-dreadnoughts
which cruised around the world in
1908 and are now lying out of com
mission in the Philadelphia navy yard.
Machinery, motors, blowers, search
lights, telephones, copper cable and
even furniture, which may have flu
ture usefulness, have been removed
and brought here from Philadelphia
to be used in the Quitting of the
Great Northern as flagship of the At
lantic fleet.
Extensive alterations are to be
made by the Prometheus, with a force
of $50 artificers. This work will be
completed in time to allow the Great
Northern to leave for the winter ma.
neuvers early next ear.
The Prometheus, of 10000 tons
gross, was converted from a collier
in 1915 to a modern repair ship. 1t
is equipped to handle heavy machine
and blacksmith work Or such fine
tasks as adjusting of chronometers
and binoculars. 1t is commanded by
Captain Paul Foley.
1t is expected that another source
of economy will be the establishment
of a reclamation store at the nava
operating base, Hampton Roads, Va
There, all salvaged material of further
usefulness will be stored and issued

Many of the Fastest Teams in This
Section on Bronwood's Schedule.
Brentwood defeated Leary in a fast
and exciting game of ball Thursday
afternoon in Brentwood by score OF
5 to 4, this being considered the very
best game played this season and as
good a game as was ever witnessed
there. Johnnie Waller performed the
mound work for the locals with A.
Gammage receiving, while Chapman,
the Norman Park southpaw, twirled
an excellent game for the visitors with
Register working behind the platter.
R. Gammage performed excellent
work for the locals at short STOP TAX
ing all of about fifteen chances with
out a bobble. Dixon for Leary and
Waller of Bronwood featured with the
willow, each taking three hits out of
four times at bat Both teams play
ed excellent ball throughout the game.
Simpson and Daniel acted as umpires,
and not one of their decisions was
questioned. Cuthbert was booked for
Friday, but the game was postponed
until next Friday on account Of the
death Of Mr.. Lewis Holland. This
game will also be played in Bron
wood. Ronald Lanier will oppose Jack
Holland, and it promises to be pitch

Louis Petty in High School Meet at

Louis Petty represented Dawson in

annual championship high school meet
held at the University of Georgia.
High schools boys and girls from
all over the state took part in the ath-
letic events and speaking contests on
the university campus at Athens. The
athletic meet was held under the aus
pieces of the men who have won their

versity of Georgia, and so good were
the records made by the school boys
who took part in the events, that many
of them can lok forward to wearing
a crimson &c" some of these days if
they attend the university. Bobby Rey-
nolds of Greensboro, was the indi-
vidual point winner OF the meet. He
won the 100 and 22O-yard' dashes, max

METHODISTS BARRACKS
AT LAST GET REVENGE
First Victory Over Baptist Class Won
By Big Score

The Methodist Barracks won their
first victory from the Baptists on
Thursday afternoon in a considerably
one sided game of ball by the score
of 81 to 3, and can now say they have
reaped revenge for the several defeats
handed them during the past several
weeks. w. Bridges performed excel
lent mound work for the Methodists
with L. Petty receiving, while several
worked on the mound for the Bap-
lists, but all in vain. Each and every
pitchers slant were hammered to all
parts of the field, and S. Lee connect
ed with one of the slants for Babe
Ruth" 1t might be said that the feat
ure of the game was the slack play
ing of the entire Baptist team and the
game was by no means errorless, each
member having registered one or
more. The game was called at the END
of the seventh inning. 1t is not known
whether or not another Baraca game
will be scheduled.

RECORD ATTENDANCE
AT REVIVAL SERVICES
BAPTISTS WILL CLOSE MEET
ING WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
FORCEFUL PREACHING.

Revival services which have been in
progress at the Baptist church for the
past ten days will close Wednesday
night. Unusually large congregations
have attended the morning services
and every evening the building has
been taxed to accommodate the crowd
which several times was an overflow,
many being unable to find seat even
after chairs had been placed in the
aisles. The pastor, Rev. S. F. Lowe,
has earnestly and forcefully presented
the fundamental truths of the gospel.
The singing under the direction of
Mr.. Hoffman, of Atlanta, assisted by
Mr. Floyd Jennings, has been a splen-
did feature, contributing to the success
of the meeting. The Jennings quartet
has been heard with pleasure and prof.
it on several occasions. AS one result
of the meeting forty have applied for
membership in the church, and to this
number will probably be added 9TH
ers who are considering this import
ant step.
The most impressive hour of the
meeting was the conservation service
on Monday morning, when twenty
three young men and women definite
" dedicated their lives to God for SER
vice in the home land or on foreign
fields.
There will be no preaching next
Sunday night at the Baptist church,
as the ordinance of baptism will be
administered to the large number OF
members who have recently come into
the church.
