ONE REEL YARNS
THE JOLLY FAT BOY

Tub was the jolly fat boy Of the
gang. OF course Tub" was not his
zeal name. His real name was
Herbert, only his mother and his
tather on rare occasions called him
hat. To everybody else he was Tub"
Every one teased Tub. He was such
/ good sport that no one knew that
ais feelings were often hurt by their
cruel jests. His mother was the only
person who ever SO much as guessed
mis- secret. Somehow mothers have a
way OF finding out such things.
Tub Discovers Ad
One day Tub was waiting for his
mother in the book store. He picked
up a magazine and was idly turning
the pages when large advertisement
caught his eye. Lose ten pounds in
one week.. Tub did not stop to read
more. He wanted to read it slowly
and carefully in private. When his
mothers back was turned he bought
the magazine and hid 1t under his
coat.
AS soon as Tub got home he hurried
up to his room and feverishly read the
advertisement.
"Oh, shoot It don't teIlr' ne ex-
claimed in disgust. But IL / send
'em a quarter they'll send me a whole

! guess it's worth that. Yes, I'll do
" he concluded.
He Writes for Book
Five minutes later Tub had labori-
ously scratched Off his first business
etter and was cautiously sneaking
down the back steps to post il. His
lead was full of visions of how good
ooking he would be when he was as
lhn as Harold Jones' Gee. and ii
,nly took a week too. Wouldn't they
vi be surprised, though.
Three days later the mail man
landed Tubs mother large envelope
addressed to "Mr. Herbert Price, Jr.
IN the outside in big black letters
vas printed How TO get thin in a
week" Beneath that in still blacker
etters It said. Sent by request"
Mrs Price took II in establishment.
Then an explanation occurred TO her.
His Mothers Explanation
''Some Of those thoughtless boys that
Herbert plays with have sent 1t for a
loke. Poor boy, | won't show it to

she lifted the lid of the stove and

BUILDING COMBINE
Chicago Decision to Put $4,000 to
$4,000 Idle Men to Work

CHICAGO, September 9.-One of
the tightest building combines in the
country was blasted wide open here
Wednesday.
The dynamiter was Judge Kene-
saw Mountain Lands, whom the
American Bar association condemned
for accepting employment for his
baseball connections, and who, &C
cording to the resolution adopted, is
thereby dragging the ermine in the
mire"
But when the veteran jurist hand
ed down a decision settling the
building trades war here which
will put between $4,000 and 10000
men back to work; make it possible
for any contractor to do business in
Chicago; and, it is estimated, start
construction of more than 500, 000,-
600 worth of badly needed building,
he succeeded in accomplishing what
countless commissions, bloody strikes
and arbitration had failed to do in
20 years of effort
The decision cuts the wages of
40 of the AZ building trades unions
here from 10 to 40 cents per hour,
and eliminates trade agreements be-
tween contractors and the unions
which have constituted a practical
monopoly. 1t is expected to cut
building costs 20 per cent.
Considers Mans Skill
Ali skill building trades workers
here have been paid SIPS an hour
and unskilled workers ST per hour.
The new schedules take into consid-
Grafton the number of days each
trade can work in a year and the
required skill
Thomas Kearney, president of the
Chicago Building Trades council,
declared that the unions would pro-
test the decision, but as 40 of them
have agreed to accept it, and as
the agreement provides for the open
shop in case organized labor fails
to rovide necessary workers, the
protest cannot be other than a ges-
ture.
Lands, who receives $42, 500 for
being baseball arbiter, doesn't get
a dime for putting over, single
handed, the biggest job of his life.

HIGH SCHU,. OPENS:

Schools of City Have Largest En-.

The Fitzgerald High School OPEN
ed the 1922 session last Monday
with the largest attendance in the
history of the institution. The open

Supt. U. ]. Bennett Numerous pa
irons of the school were on hand to
bid the large student body and the
excellent corpse of teachers a most
successful and progressive year. All
the members of the Board of Edu-
cation were present, and their appro-
pirate remarks were helpful and in

prospects of the erection of the
school auditorium.
After the patrons had so we'll ex-

Stephens, Prin, E. c. Wimberly,
Coach and Science teacher, Misses
Burckhalter, Mcintyre, and Morgan,

and Commercial departments. re-

The old-teachers of the High
School are Mrs. Shewmake (Eng.).
Miss Temple (French), Mrs. Brown
History, Miss Spier (Music) and
Mrs. Womble (most of the 8 grade)
Miss Godbee (Latin).
1t is believed that the school has a
more efficient corpse of teachers than
ever before, and the patrons of the
school are confident that this schol-
astic year will be very successful.
Statistics indicate that the Fitzger-
aid High School has a larger pro-
portionate student body than any
high school in the state, and it is
increasing rapidly. The attendance
has out grown the capacity of the
school, and an auditorium is badly
needed.

our dependable home remedy for gen
enrations, and it is still the best thing
that can be administered when bust
ness is sick, finances droppy, public
spirit at low ebb, and a blue funk
all over everything.
"a rising cotton market will cause
business in the South to rick over
its ears, and get an expectant mood
when everything else has failed. Here
is hoping that she continues to go up.
We need the money, and we need the
tonic. We need faith restorer, and
a bullish cotton market will restore
faith and beget hope if it is possible
to call them into existence"
