ZANE GREY
PICTURE AT
ELTINGE

Readers of Zane Grey novels and
film fans who have enjoyed the
screen adaptations of his red -bl ood-
ed stories are certain to be consi-
derably surprised and not little
startled when they see the picture
version of his latest book. "Code of
the West 1t opens at the Eltinge
Theatre Thursday.
The striking thing about this new
photoplay is that although it was
written by Mr.. Grey in his charac-
teristic vivid and colorful style, with
rugged western setting, there isn't
single pistol shot fired in the en-
tire production and only on two oc-
casions are guns displayed. This
phenomenon is explained by the fact
that the conventional, double dyed,
two-gun villain, heretofore consider
ed an essential character in avery
Zane Grey story, is conspicuously
missing from "Code Of the West.
Furthermore, the story deals with
the West Of today. For Zane Grey
these are radical departures.
The plot primarily concerns itself
with the romance of cowboy and
flapper. The girl, who goes out
west for her health, typifies the jazz
life of the east. She deliberately
plans to attract the sturdy young
westerner. but laughingly turns him
down when he proposes. But in the
west such conduct is not easily con-
doned as she learns to her dismay.
The cowboy forces her to marry him
and then-but what happens after
that you will have to find out for
yourselves from the picture
Owen Moore, has the leading male
role. Constance Bennett, because of
her acting ability, youth and screen
charm was selected to play the part
of the flapper. Others in the cast
who are featured include Mabel Bal
lin. Charles Ogle and David Butler.
Big scenes in the picture are az
exciting automobile horse race and
a mighty forest fire.

ginger ale, in fact, that it might almost be
called by another name.
The reason is simply that Canada Dry" is a
real ginger ale-made from real Jamaica ginger.
Furthermore, it is one ginger ale that does not
contain capsicum (red pepper) in any form-a
most important point to remember when ordering

Because of this "Canada Dry" not only
quenches thirst, but it is genuinely good for you.

AT CENTENNIAL
Walter F. George and Hoke
Smith Deliver Address at Jack
son Celebration

JACKSON, Ca, Oct. 31.-Fea-
lures of the second day of the Butts
County Centennial celebration in
cluded an address by Senator Walter
f. George, in which he predicted the
complete comeback in agriculture
and wonderful industrial develop
ment, a talk by Hoke Smith, which
was a message to the people Of
Butts County and the people of
Georgia to be of good cheer and
keep their faith undaunted, com
munity singing in which all school
children of the county took part,
concerts, awarding of prices in all
al departments, an old fiddleds con-
vention, moving pictures and old
time dance as the concluding fea-
ture.
In a notable address, Senator
George sketched the history of the
United States during the 100 years
of Butts County's existence. "The
people of the county and the peo-
pie of Georgia have met every test, :"
he declared, "and they leave to the
future noble heritage. Nations
fall, because ofan invading enemy,
because of a depicted SOIL" He
showed the importane Of soil improve
ment as the means to increase agri-
cultural production and the part that
forests play in annual rainfall. In
spite of the dry year and severe
handicaps under which all North
Georgia has labored this year, he
predicted d great future for this
section.
Almost all Mr.. Smiths address
was taken up with advice to farmers
to stick to their farms and hold for
better prices, to keep up brave
front and prepare for better year.
He was greeted by an audience
that filled the superior court room
to capacity.

M'RAE Wins
FROM LOCALS
South Georgia College Defeats
Americas A. & M BY the Score
of 10 to 6

In a game featured by many in
jured and time called at each play
the local Az M. College met defeat
yesterday when the fast South
Georgia College from McRae gained
well earned 10 to 6 victory.
In the first quarter neither team
scored, in the second quarter Nor
rison succeeded in getting a touch
down for the local boys but they fail
ed to kick goal, the visitors placed
beautiful drop kick over the goal
making the score at the end of first
quarter, A. & NJ. to McRae 3.
In the next. quarter, the boys from
McRae were j little more successful
On an attempted pass one of the Nc
Rae boys recovered the ball and rae
ed so yards to a touchdown. Score
McRae 10 to A. & NJ, 6.
And it ended just that way, the
final quarter being a rather see-saw
affair In summing up the game we
must say in all respect to McRae
that the local boys have the team, it
was simply a case of the breaks go
ing to the visitors. But we viii say
also that they are good clean sports--
men as well as the local boys.
The cold weather made injuries
easy and as a result the visitors lost
one man for the season when Nc
Bride received broken collar bone
in the first quarter. Hays of the
A. & NJ. team received severe kick
on the left side of the head and was
for some time. He went
back in the game in the third quar-
ter to be knocked out again in less
than five minutes Of play.
