GIRL BASkETEERS
PLAY ROUGH GAME
AND SKIN SUFFERS

RICHLAND, Jan. 16.-The girls
basketball team of the Richland Hi
defeated the girls team from Brant-
lev Saturday by score of 10 to IL.
The Brantley team had not been
roachee; according to the new rules
and eIter protesting on the number
of, fouls called on them, the lady
referee resigned her position in favor
of man from the Brantley school.
Ther the game COX The form of a
football scrap. 1t was . rough and
tumble affair; however, there were
10 casualties. There was hardly a
player, however, who had any skin
left on her elbows and knees. The
wonder to the spectators was that
their suits remained intact.
This was the roughest game played
by either boys or girls on this court.
The Richland team showed, however,
that they had undeVeloped possibiIi-
ties. They never before had been
allowed to play rough or disregard all
rules, but they came up to the scratch
like old-timers, as the score showed.

The baseball clubs will receive the
first 1000, the Playground will re-
ceive the next $500, and they will
divide the remainder of the receipts
evenly. Mr.. Cargill states he believes
with good weather and proper adver-
tising it will be possible for the Play
ground association to clear from
$500 to 5000, which fund can be used
to great advantage the coming sea
son.
Tie coming of the Detroit and
Rochester teams, with Ty Cobb and
George Stallings, both famous Geor.
gians, has aroused a great deal of in.
terest among the baseball fans of this
section, and is expected to make
Americus the center of baseball in

acre of South Georgia land when
planted in tobacco and properly look

of long staple or sea island cotton

Brantley, of Blackshear, before the
Waycross Kiwanis club at their regu-
lar Friday luncheon. Mr.. Brantley

South Georgia can and does grow

FLEEING SUES SHERIFF

BROWNSVILLE, Jan 16.-Sheriff
Gordon Z. Davis of Thomas county,
and the American Surety Company,
his bondsmen, are being sued by Mrs.
Sam Cone for $35,000. The suit
is the result of the death of her hus-
band, who was shot by Deputy Sher-
ff Kemp some time ago, death re-
Sulting from complications that set
in after the wound was made. The
plaintiff claims that the death Of her
husband was unjustified and there
fore the sheriff is responsible through
his bondsmen for the amount that
would compensate her for the loss Of
her husband.
Deputy Kemp arrested Mr.. Cone
and he attempted to get away. In
the fight that ensued Mr.. Kemp
claims that an attack was made on
his life and that he shot in self de-
fense.

mo HUNTING" SIGNS

We understand that the mo
hunting" signs posted on the
farms amount to nothing in a
legal way. The game belongs to
the state, and the law of this
state says the game may be hunt
ed between certain dates. The
only case a farmer has against
the hunter Is in "Trespass" and
Damage" On the other hand,
the hunters should use little
judgment about breaking fences
and closing gates. We also un-
derstand that the reason some
farmers object to them hunting
on their place is because they
want the game themselves. The
game belongs to the state.

Thrift Is Just Efficiency
(By James H. Collins

The average family income in
Great Britain is $1,000, or $236
per capita, yearly. Out of that
income John Bull succeeded, dur
ing the war, in teaching two men,
bers of every British family to
save and invest in war bonds and
stamps, $140 each, according to
an article in Printers Ink. That
is, each family saved more than
one-fifth it's income.
A similar comparative saving
by the hundred millions of people
in the United States invested in
Thrift stamps and War Saving
stamps would add tremendously
to the nations available supply
of capital, and would transform
the United States from a nation
Of spenders to a nation of savers.
The results in Great Britain
were accomplished by practical
efficiency suggestions-how to
save on gas, laundry bills, cook
ing, soap, fuel, food, etc. A nat
ional organization known as the
Salvage cub was formed. with
branches everywhere, gathering
up bones, paper, cans, tin roll,
shoes, clothing and other things
usually consigned to the ash can.
This organization published a
monthly newspaper called Sal
wage, printed on paper made from
recovered waste materials. One
weeks bones from the average
household was found to yield edi-
BILE fat and also ingredients to
make explosives for several shells.
A quarter of pound of waste
paper made charger case. Thous
ands of boy and girl scouts help
ed gather waste materials. Busi-
ness concerns rooted out their
old account boks, letter files,
and documents, selling them for
waste paper. Scrap metal of all
kinds was collected and sold, and
one junk dealer adopted receipt
for scrap metal showing how
much the person who saved and
turned it in had contributed to
help make war munitions.
Thrift is just efficiency after
all. 1t goes much further than
the savings of pennies or dollars.
1t is the savings of materials and
time, which runs into money very
quickly.-International Harvest
