ANERTCUS SCORES
ON COLUMBUS HI
Scrappy Local Outfit Ends Game
On Wrong End Of 30 - z
Score

The scrappy little Americus High
football team went down in defeat
before the onslaught of Columbus
High in that city yesterday afternoon
to the tune of 40-7.
To the local aggregation goes the
honor and credit of being the Cnly
team to cross the goal line Of the
contenders for the state prep cham
pionship this year. Battling team
which outweighed them fully 15
pounds to the man, the locals scrap
ped like bulldogs to stop the on
slaught of the heavy and speedy CO.
lumbus back. Every inch of ground
was contested but it was evident
from the beginning which was the
better team Columbus has success

teams as Madison High, Washing
ton High, Tech High, G. M. A., La
nier High and others of equal repute.

The close of the second period and

line and the spirit that followed was
the prettiest seen by the writer in
many moons. With two all-state

must have looked like whitewashed

Columbus presented one of the
most perfectly banaccd prep teams
seen in years and it would be hard

Americus team also played good
clean football and in this defeat car
ried themselves with glory.

CITY IN NEED
0FAWAKENLNC
Rev. Carl w. Minor Flags Those
Who Fail To Attend Church
Services

Dr.. Carl w. Minor, pastor of the
First Baptist church of this city, in
an interview today, flays the "stay
at homes" in this city and issues a
call for larger congregations in the
city churches.
He indicts the entire city for its
lack of Christian activity and adyo-
Gates a reawakening along religious
lines that will bring out those who
have been keeping away from the
Sunday meetings.
His statement is as follows:
Il am very busy man, hence do
not have time to write for our To-
cal readers as often as l would like.
! wish to say a few words of vital
interest to every citizen of Ameri-
Gus and Sumter county. That which
concerns me most, at this time, is the
neglect of public worship, by so
many of our people. Only about one
third of the population attend the
regular worship Of the church with
any degree of regularity.
"A great many go to Sunday
school. So far, so good, but this can
meyer take the place of the regular
worship of the church.
I'VE have either forgotten the
real purpose and worth of worship
or have allowed other things to take
its place.
'All will agree that we need in
Americus and Sumter county a new
awakening to personal exempli
fication of the real Christianity OF
the part of those who call themselves
Christians, an awakening which will
quicken the whole of this community
with the presence and power of the
living God. You will get this not
by remaining away from church, but
you will get it only or with a new
earnestness and prayerfulness you
seek Gods house and worship ant
pray with your fellow Christians.
''The Christian church is and ever
will be the only hope of this city
and this nation. AS goes the church
es, so goes Americus and the nation
Divine worship in the church is en-
titled to high place in our thought
! enthusiasm and investment. What
would you properly be worth
without the churces? Americas
would not be a desirable place in
which to live without our churche.
and yet how few appreciate oul
church as a real asset enough to sup.
port the worship by their presence
eve need the worship of God fol
the unyeiling of the purpose Of
Gods life in man for disclosing tc
us the glory of h.is love and for che
Strengthening of our lives to wall
in the footsteps of our Master.

for Voting Yes on the Amend
ment has been explained"
The statement received from
Magnus Johnson, Farmer-Labor
Candidate, follows:
Amendment No. is one Of
the most forward-looking pieces
of legislation that has been
offered Minnesota in many a
day. 1t is hard to realize that
this amendment. if passed. will
open the door to q constructive,
state-directed system of agricul-
tural long time credit that will
lift farming out of the quagmire
of bank loans and mortgage obi
cations. The amendment alone
will not bring relief. but it rolls
away the stone of constitutional
restrictions 50 that a progressive
legislature can enact laws
needed.
Il hope the people of Mime
sofa will vote for the amend
ment. City people. as well as
farmers, should vote for it, as it
will in no way burden the state
with taxes. nor is it special legis-
lation in favor of a select class.
Il worked for this amendment
throughout the last session of
the legislature, as did a majority
of both houses. and it is now up
to the people to approve it by
voting for it. Simply not voting
will not do. because blank ballots
count against it. This amend
ment embodies one of the most
important planks of the Farmer
Labor Platform, and represents a
