.launches and associated companies.
Tie company has nine new plants
‘■■ier way throughout the world, while
.■Abbs are being formulated for several
•«*Aers not yet announced. Wherever
.vavible the new plants are being
"*w*ted on eites accessible to both rail
water transportation so that, with
form of transportation supple-
;Beating the other, substantial savings
. • wSD be effected. >
Five of the new plants are in the
States, as follows:
: Beach, California—This plant,
completed to serve Southern
California, has a capacity of 400 cars a
day. Operating at capacity it employs
2,600 men. ^
Edgewatw*. New Jersey—The Edge-
water plant, one of the company’s larg
est assembly branches, has just been

The Washington football team
played the Johnston team at John
ston last Wednesday, with both
teams playing “outsiders.” The
game was hard fought by both
teams, but Mr. Jones for Johnston
and Bradshaw for Washington
were the outstanding “stars.” The
game, however, was forfeited by
Johnston at the half, since several
of their best players had been
knocked out. Although the John
ston >boys succeeded in making a
touchdown while the Washington
boys failed to score, yet the score
was 7 to 6 in Washington’s favor.
We were very sorry that Mr. Jones,
our former coach, had his shoulder
dislocated but we hope that it
won’t gve him much trouble.

we watched another football game
on our home field last Friday, for
we knew that it was the last game
of the season. This game was play
ed between a team from the upper
section of the school district and
one from the lower section. It
was very interesting and good
plays were made by both sides, but
the boys from the lower section
proved too much for the other
bunch by winning with a score of
14-0.
Several boys, Davis Bussey, War-
lick Keller, and Pickens Wells
played their last game for Wash
ington. We are proud of these
boys for the faithful effort they
have put forth and they certainly
deserve much praise. Even though
next year they will be gone, they
will not be forgotten. These, along
with all the others, who went out
for football have helped to honor
their Alma Mater and to keep up
The girls’ basketball team played
the first game last Wednesday
against Johnston on the Johnston
Icourt. The score was a tie 14-14.
To say that this game was thrill
ing would be putting it mild, for
it was even more than that. Both
teams played well, but the pass
work of the Washington team far
surpassed that of their opponents.
No one could even predict the out
come of this game until the final
whistle blew, for first one side
would score, and in a few seconds
the other side would do likewise.
To pick individual stars from eith
er team would be hard, for every
player handled the ball well and
is due much praise, but the work
of Middleton and Buchanan in
center for Washington was excel
lent, while Short, guard, and Kirk

ly well for the opposing team. The
line ups were as follows:

night in honor of the football
team. The coach, Mr. Fred Brad
shaw, arranged this party to help
show his appreciation to the boys
for their work this season, and no
better date could have been select
ed, for the last game was played
that afternoon. Early in the even
ing the boys began to arrive with
their girls and since the girls bas
ket ball team had been invited,
quite a large number of young
people were present. They enjoy
ed games for a while, but the
greater part of the time was filled
with “proms.” Refreshments, con
sisting of various kinds of fruits,
were served in the Agriculture
room. During this time several
talks were made. Mr. Mayer dis
cussed the importance of athletics
in the school to develop character,
| team work, etc., and he urged the
boys to keep up the good work that
they had started on the gridiron.
Mr. Bradshaw expressed in a most
forceful manner his deep apprecia
tion to the boys for their untiring
efforts on the field, to Mr. Mayer
for his co-operation, and to Mr.
Wooten for his help. Davis Bus
sey, captain of the team, thanked
his team for their excellent sup
port and in behalf of the entire
team he thanked the coach for his
interest, his help and his guidance
in putting out a team.

Mr. Morgan Knew
Learn, if it can give you stitisfac-
tion, that conditions in Wall Street
are “technically” much better. That
won’t give satisfaction to little people
that were gambling gaily a year ago.
When Wall Street gets “technically”
better it means that small accounts
are wiped out, little gamblers are dead
and buried financially and must save
up for the next foolishness.
Stocks are in “strong hands,” which
means that those that put them out
at a high price nave bought them back
at a low price.
Call money lends at 1 per cent,
00 day money lends at 2 per cent.
Everything is charming “tech
nically,” which ought to be a lesson
for little men not to gamble, but It
will not be.

GIRL’S CLUB.
The junior 4-H club held a very
valuable meeting last Thursday,
November 20, 1930.
The meeting opened with the
president in charge. Scripture,
Psalm 117, was read by the presi
dent followed by the Lord’s pray
er, prayed in unison. Myrtle Mc
Daniel next recited a poem, “Re
sult^ and Roses.” The program was
concluded by “Yankee Doodle” sung
by all. After this the minutes were
read and the roll was called by the
secretary. Milk being the topic of
the demonstration, each member
answered by quoting the number
of glasses of milk she drank daily.
Following this was the demon
stration procedure by Mrs. Stall-
worth. First each member scored
herself on “Health Habits,” there
were several who made a score of
100. Mrs. Stallworth lectured on
“The Importance of Milk in the
Building of the Body of a Growing
Child.” She demonstrated a milk
shake which was served to the
girls.
For home work the girls are to
serve at least four times, a food
containing milk.
Just before the dismissal, rec
reational songs were sung and
games were played which were
greatly enjoyed by all.
The most outstanding social
event recently was a party given at
the school building on last Frida:

, News that comes from Russia seems
’ as topsy-turvy as though it came from
j “Alice in Wonderland.”
American engineers are developing
asbestos resources in Russia, adding
another surprise concerning Russian
resources generally.
United States engineers are oper
ating an asbestos pit two miles wide,
in a place far off from Moscow and
the other centers, that had 10,000
population a short time ago, now has
53,000 population, and within two
years will yield twice as much as the
world’s total output of asbestos in
1028. More reason for worrying about
“Russian dumping.”
Mr. Thomas of the British, labor
cabinet says the world’s trouble is the
sudden end of great buying power.
Four hundred million people in
China, 300,000,000 in India, 140,000,000
in Russia, half the buying population
of the world, suddenly stopped buying.
Boycotting silver, which India and
China use for money, plus civil war
and rebellion, are responsible for part
of the trouble.
And the United States’ boycott of
Russia is responsible for part.
This is an extraordinary world. In
which too much of everything, too
much wheat, coal, copper, sugar and
even too much money, mean disaster.

“ON YOUR BACK”
That is as true now as it was half
a century ago, and citizens will do
well to remember it.
Railroad men, including the great
est in the United States, represent
ing 90 per cent of all the railroads,
pledged themselves to avoid cutting
wages or discharging men and to em
ploy as many more men as possible.
Tliis they do in the face of de
creased railroad earnings, an excellent
example to other employers.
The farm board has held up the
price of American wheat by spending
a million dollars a day to buy grain
and take it out of the market.
Wheat has been selling at Winni
peg and Liverpool as low as 16 cents
below the American price.
This means that other wheat pro
ducing countries have been changing
their wheat into money, and sending
it where it will be eaten.
Regular airplane travel is planned
between Chicago and New York in
eight and a half hours or less.
That interests railroad men.
Automobile travel also interests
railroads.
Four young people in Buffalo de
cided to see the Yale-Princeton game
at Princeton, N. J. They mdde the
trip in one day in a small automobile.
For gas and oil the cost was $4.10.
Railroad tickets for the four, not in
cluding pull man, would cost $72.
Permitting railroads to increase
their rates would not solve that prob
lem.
The burning brand from
the open fire-place is
another threat of firs.
The cozy log fire crackles
merrily a glowing ember pops
out and sets the rug ablaze. The
flames are beyond control be
fore they are discovered. Just
another little thing that causes
disaster. y
Insurance adequate insur
ance against such a calamity is
just plain good business. And
a long century of loss paying
has demonstrated that there is
no sounder fire insurance than
that offered by the Hartford
Fire Insurance Company, rep
resented by this agency.
