Leaksvuie High School Boys Fight First Gridiron Battle of Season With Danville Military Institute Saturday Game Will Be Played Here At Leaksville-Spray Baseball Park SCRIMMAGES SHOW GOOD MATERIAL Coach Tenny Has Big Squad And Forecasts Great Season The first battle to be fought on the gridiron by the local high school boys will be under date of next Sat urday. The battle will be fought with a batallion of young soldiers from Danville, Va., representing what the local boys are fond of call ing D. M. I., more formally known as Danville Military Institute. “Leaksville High School is develop ing a football squad this season which,” according to Coach Tenny, “has no reason for fearing any eleven put out by any High or Prep school round about us.” Scrimmaging has been going on now for about two weeks and about a score and a half of boys have been coming out and toughening them selves in preparation for the seas on’s battles on the grid-iron. While football has not been in troduced here so well as in other sections of our state and nation, the < local boys having had only ' one | year’s experience on the gridiron! football is universally conceded to be the world’s greatest sport, and we | see every reason for believing that our boys will take a leading part in this, as they have in other sports. Football is not only a fascinating game for the player. Doubtless the football fan gets more real thrills than any other sport can offord. Come and give the boys your sup port Saturday. Among those husky lads who com pose the squad are: Lawrence Barks dale, Roy Hill, James Crouch, Ezra Rowe, Russel Krantz, Harry Price, Hugh Chatham, Culo3 Robertson, Kt ith Robertson, Frank Martin, Charlie Jones, Eugene Walker, Jim my La Mar, “Bo” Emerson, Winifred Emory, Wilfred Dillon, Raymond Galley, Berk Reynolds, Steve Adams, Sanford Crouch, Stanford Crouch, George Clark, Hoyte Stultz, Homer Vernon, Allen Brim, Numa Martin, and Nat Richardson. A schedule of the games for the st aeon follows: Leaksville High school plays: Danville Military Instite at Leaks ville Oct 6. Burlington High school at Leaks ville Oct. 13. Danville High school at Danville Oct. 20 . Oak Ridge at Leaksville, Oct 31. Martinsville High School at Leaks ville, Nov. 3. Mount Airy High school at Leaks ville Nov. 10.

COLEMAN.SOUTHARD POST INVITES LOCAL BOYS TO REIDSVILLE The Coleman-Southard Post Ameri can Legion and Auxiliary of Reids vil!e have extended an invitation to the James K. Hudnall Post No. 119 to meet with them Monday, October 15th at the Belvedere Hotel, Reids ville. The local boys are looking forward to this meeting and it is hoped a good number will be able to attend. Mrs. Harding Sends Message Local Post Of American Legion The following message has been received by the James K. Hudnall Post No. 119 American Legion from Mrs Warren G. Harding, wife of our late president; ‘Mrs. Harding deeply appreciates 5'our message of sympathy, and begs that you will express a sincere grati tu(le to those associated with you.” FATHER AND SON “Some Reasons Why Some Men Are Successful Fa thers.” 14. THEY ARE WISE ENOUGH TO KNOW that a Few Tools and a place to work are more of a home at traction than temporary rewards and more desirable than going to the circus or the movies. 15. THEY ARE PROFOUNDLY IMPRESSED with their duty to the boys as well as their responsibilty to society, and as good citizens, try earnestly to discharge both obliga tions.. 16. THEY ADHOR WEAKNESS in any form whatsoever and refuse to excuse it. “Victory is to the strong,” is their slogan, whether referring to mental, physical, spiritual, or so cial life and activity. 17. THE COUNT IT THEIR SA CRED PRIVILEDGE to give the boys, step by step, the intimate in formation that they need. Best of all, they themselves practise physi cal fitness and have no patience with a double standard of morals for any one. 18. They are real sports, these fath ers, and play the old “Game of Life” for all that is in them but always according to the rules that every boy understands as “being square.” 19. They believe in team games as an educator in sportsmanship and social living and insist that the bleachers are rarely the place for real boys, but rather “Every Boy in the Game’ ’is their watchword. 20 They are frisndly with everybody rich and poor alike. All the boys and dogs in the neighborhood know them and like to “hang around” them. Boys often want them for "umps” and to be “It.” because they have confidence in them and enjoy them. 21 Their instructions are always of positive sort and backed up by per sonal demonstration, too They despise “Don’ts,” while “nagging” is strictly against their principles. “Let’s do so and so” is magic medicine. 22. They are invariably interested in dogs and chickens and stamps and stars and electricity. They be lieve that a boy without a hobby is likely to be no boy at all, and that the making of* collections is one of the chiefs joys of being a boy. OUR TREE FRIENDS “A fast-growing member of the yellow pine group, loblolly pine is a tree of the Coastal Plain, ranging southward from the southermost county of Delaware. It is variously known locally as shortleaf pine, fox tail pine and old-field pine. As the last name implies, it seeds up aband oned fields rapidly, particularly in sandy soils where the water is clos to the surface. It is also frequent in clumps along the borders of swamps and as scattered specimens in the swamp hardwood forests. The bark is dark in color and deep ly furrowed, and often attains a thickness of as much as 2 inches bn large-sized trees. The leaves, or need les, 6 to 9 inches long, are borne three in a cluster, and, in the spring, bright green clumps of them at the ends of branches give a luxuriant appear ance to the tree. The fruit is a cone, or burr, about 3 to 5 inches long, which ripens in the autumn of the second year, and, during fall and ear ly winter, sheds may seeds which, by their inch-long wings, are widely dis tributed by the wind. The resinous wood is coarse-grain ed, with marked contrast, as in the other yellow, pines, between the bands of early and late wood. The wood of second-growth trees has a wide range of uses where durability is not a requisite, such as for building ma terial, box shooks, barrel staves, basket veneers, plupwood, lath, mine props piling and fuel.” OH, JOY, To court a dumb girl is a dream; It is a cinch, my lands! When you kiss her she cannot scream, For you can hold her hands. You can’t do the right the wrong way. NEXT WEEK’S POSTER WILL YOU BREAK DOWN ?

For School THEIR SCHOLASTIC RECORD GRATIFYING The Carolina Cotton and Woolen Mills Co. has a fine representation of boys and girls in school this year. 90 have already left the 9 plants at Spray, Draper and Fieldale to attend. Of the 81 leaving from the Spray plants 22 are in Grammar school, 53 in High school and 6 are in college or special schools. It is worthy of note that 70 per cent of those leaving to go to school are in or beyond high school. The following tables shows the number by mills. Plant No leaving to go to School American Warehouse_21 Spray Bleachery_ 1 Nantucket_ 19 Lily -___-__ 14 Rhode Island _ 8 Spray Woolen Mill _‘ 5 Draper American _ 6 Wearwell Sheeting_ 7 Fieldale___ 9 90 Besides these there are several oth ers who left the employment of the company for some other reason short ly before school time so that there are fully 100 now in school who work ed in the various plants during the summer. But the number, as fine as that is, is not more interesting than the ages or more satisfying than the grades they are in: Age 5, 6, & 7th, High Coll 'go ii grades school special 14 years 4 15 ” 8 16 ” 6 17 ” 2 18 ” 1 19 ” & over 1 schools 0 0 9 0 12 0 12 2 12 0 8 4 22 53 6 It used to be said that if you once let a boy or girl get a taste of work ing—making money and being free from school you’d never get him back to school again. That this is not true of the boys and girls in this communi ty is shown by the fact that more than half of the above have worked here from 2 to 6 times already dur ing summers and vacations and that a large number are still working Sat urdays when they are needed. 37 have worked 1 time ” 2 times. 20 13 8 2 1 3 4 5 has 6 Or in other words, the average for the whole number is -2 times. Technically, of course, the leaving of most of these young people is classed as labor turnover. We wish that all our turnover were so bene ficial to the individual, to the com pany and to the community. Chicken Talk WHO’S WHO IN CHICKENS. (By R. L. Seekins) Who ever heard of using eggs in the place of tobacco? Surely more palatable and much cleaner but that isn’t the point at all. When Mr. G. C. Cook, who lives just across the Dan River below Draper came to our community about 5 years ago he came to work in the mills. No doubt his love for fresh eggs and farm produce tempted him a couple of years ago to buy 16 acres of land and set up a small store and go to farming. Not tobac co growing, but growing “sure nuff” eatables and even though he has a first class barn on his place he used it this season as a space to brood sev eral hundred chickens. An ideal brooder for hot weather too, and now there is a 250 egg incubator doing business right in that same barn, due to hatch out this week. Mr. Cook has 275 pullets and layers composed mostly of White Legoms and Buff Plymouth Rocks. Mr. Cook is enthusiastic about the development of his place and has sold his store and is devoting his entire time to his place. This year in addition to melons, onions,- cabbage, collards, etc., he has made about 250 bushels of sweet potatoes. He plans further development by planting small fruits and enlarging hi:: poultry business, as fast as pos sible in a practical way. We need more such men as Mr. Cook. He is a South Carolina prod uct but seems to have transplanted veil in the> Tar Heel State. Millner says you may call a truth ful man a liar and get away with t, but it is dangerous to call a liar a liar. ■ S' i.v >*. - 'iV ' -i •• " •»> ' 15\ r v - V .

CO-OPERATION Its Spiritual Quality The highest aim of co-operative marketing must not be merely to put a few more cents or a few more dol tlars into the farmer’s pur.:; as the year’s crops are sold. There is a spiritual quality about co-operation which we cannot neglect without im periling, devitalizing, and even de stroying the whole structure. Co operation must aim at developing a splendid rural democracy capable of managing its own affairs and giving this management to “men who know their rights and dare maintain them.” It must develop a leader ship that as time goes on will fill all the important places in our great co-operative marketing organizations. Those managers and officials and em ployees who at present have neces sarily come largely from commer cial life must in future years come from young men trained up as local leaders in co-operative movements— men who have the altruistic spiritual qualities of true co-operation as well as commercial ability. Co-operative marketing in the long run will inevitably mean larger profits for rural people, but it will mean something infinitely more im portant in that there will be devel oped a new rural leadership trained in business and economics and in a new spirit of fellowship and rural comradship such as we have not had before. Every local co-opera tive organization is a training ground in such leadership and to strenghten the local organization is our first great need. This spiritual quality of co-opera tive marketing must never be over looked. Our ultimate goal is not merely to make money but to de velop men, not merely to enrich pocketbooks but to enrich human existence. We must train and de velop here ip the South a great rur al democarcy, having the spirit of co-operation and human brotherhood and furnishing leadership not only for managing the larger business af fairs of modern agriculture but for wholesomely directing all the widely varied interests of a new rural civil ization. ' It is in anticipation of that day that we should work on. No man who lacks that inspiring vision can wisely' lead any farmer’s co-opera tive organization toward its ultimata goal.*—Clarence Poe. j BIG TENT REVIVAL CONTINUES WITH UNUSUAL INTEREST Last Sunday Witnessed Lar gest Gathering Men Only Ever Seen Here A BAPTISTRY BEING INSTALLED IN TENT I he evangelistic meetings at the big tent continue with increasing in terest. In spite of the fact that the tent is one the largest ever seen here quite number couldn’t get in Sun day night. The largest gathering of men ever witnessed here was seen last Sunday afternoon at the meet ing for men. The number present will not be given out until after the meeting for women next Sunday p. m. at which time the women are hoping to outnumber the men. A special feature of the program Sunday p. m. was a negro double male quartette. A baptistry. is being installed in the tent so that those who are re sponding to the invitation may be baptized “the same hour of the night.” The tent will be moved near the boulevard the 12th and the meetings continue the three weeks. IMPORTANT MEETING OF GIRLS’ CLUB FRIDAY EVENING Every member of the Girls’ Club is requested to meet at the club rooms Friday Otcober 5th, at 7 o’clock, for a very important business meeting. Girls, be thinking of who you want for your new officers for the coming year. Coming to Fieldale Again Dr. J. E. Masrow, the Norfolk eye specialist will be in Fieldale, Satur day, October 6th, over the Drug Store from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m.

Dr. Masrow gives you the exceptional advantage of his twenty hve years experience as an Eyesight Testing Expert. He has handled every known form of eye trouble where glasses were indicated. UKAFtK While trying to write something concerning our Draper musicians we recall the night when we first en tered the band room and became so intimately acquainted with these con genial musicians. We left the room that night with a full realization Ifiat these aspiring musicians needed and desired our services and, in turn, we would find our lives' richer by their friendly as sociation. Like in every community, so also here we have put forth our most ear nest endeavors to help these musi cians realize that to succeed in music it is necessary to exercise thorough ness. The result of our efforts and their co-operation can easily be dis cerned in their improved manner of rendering their musical selections. Just last week after the band had played several selections at the meet ing for the Boy Scouts’ movement, Mr. Pitcher paid these members a fine tribute by remarking that he had heard a Royal Band in England whose playing was not superior to that of these men of Draper. Such words of appreciation are indeed encourag ing and will inspire both members and leaders to put forth renewed energy for the cause of good music. The Draper band roster is compos ed of: Three cornets, two altos, bari tone, trombone, two tubas and drums. Here also we have a promising or chestra of three violins, two cornets, trombone, tuba, drums and piano. Besides these two organizations we have a class of eight in violin, seven in wind instruments and three in guitar. Incidentally we will state that here we have the youngest student of these communities—James Bolick. son of Mr. C. Bolick. This boy, whc is but six years old, promises to be come a very fine cornetist and will no doubt, some day, put Draper or the map in the band world. Mr. Bolick has taken up the trom bone and will soon have a family or chestra consisting of violin, clarinet, cornet, trombone and piano. Why not have other family musi cal organizations in our midst? Here the outlay for instruments is of small consideration compared with other communities where free instruction is granted. Good music in the home fosters understanding and love of beauty— lessens the fascination off “rag-time” and “jai bands”—unites the family in a common interest and makes the home attractive. Y. M. C. A. Committees Planning Intensive Programs For Different Departments of The Association For Coming Months Joint Meeting of Board of Directors and Commit tees Held Wednesday COMMITTEES OUTLINE TENTATIVE PROGRAMS Will Submit Them To Board of Directors For Approv al Tomorrow Night ! Last Wednesday night the Board j of Directors of the Central Y. M. C. I A. and the members of all commit [ tees, Religious, Boys Work, Physical, j Social, Finance, Campaign, House j and Bowling and Billiards, met in the ' gymnasium for a six o’clock supper j and a special meeting to discuss plans ! for the year’s program. Thirty five J members were present, i Mr. E G. Wilson, secretary of the j International Committee for Indus trial Work spoke on the importance of cooperation between the commit tees and employed officers in the work of the Y. M. C. A. He also lay ed especial stress on the need for a larger program and more intense training for boys. The chairman o feach committee was given an outline for a tentative program prepared by Secretary H. W. Owen to be worked out by each committee at latter meetings. Monday night the members of the Social, Boys’ Work, Religious, and [ House Committees had supper in the ] Y. M. C. A. After supper each com- j mittee adjourned to a separate room to plan its program. Tuesday night | the members of the Physical, Fin- j ance, Campaign, and BovVling and Billiards committees had similar meetings. The plans prepared at these meetings will be submitted to the Board of Directors by the chair men at the annual meeting Friday night. A complete report of the program I planned by each committee will ap pear in the next, issue of The Arrow The social committee of which Mr. W. B. Weaver is chairman is planning what will be perhaps the most extensive program ever under taken by this committee. Among other features this program will in uiuue mm ana organization socials, local talent plays, lectures, moving picture and musical entertainments. The Boys Department will have some interesting announcements to make next week as will the entire Physical Department, and, in fact, the entire association. It was the opinion of the Boys’ Work Committee that a census of the beys of Spray and Leaksville should be taken at once. Cards are now be ing printed and this work will be done by the Boys’ secretary and oth ers at once. Most of the information desired can be obtained from the school records. When this work is done the Boys’ Department of the Y. M. C. A. can begin its work for the year on a much more intelegent ba sis. The Boys’ department is planning a social for all of its members Fri day night, Oct. 12. Each member will be given two tickets, one for him self and one for some other boy whom he wish|^ to invite to the so cial. Gymnasium work for the boys has already started.

True Disciple of Comus | P. G. WODEHOUSE The gods must have been having a revel on Mount Olympus and there was a rainbow in the sky when Pel ham Grenville Wodehouse was born. Strangely enough, for he is a humor ist, the event occurred in ' England— at one of those places with a whole string of names denoting the town, county, road, farm, grove, house, nearby stream and current state of the crops. After going through the customary boys’ schools, colleges, etc., and get ting married, he set up In business as a writer In London; but realizing that there was no proper outlet for such effervescent humor as his in staid old England, he came to the United States In 1909. Right away he caught the American style; In fact his brand of fun was Just what we had been needing. He has tickled the sides of Americana with more than a dozen novels and innumerable short stories, musical comedy lyrics and plays. One of his most smashing successes Is “Three Men and a Maid," which trill be printed serially in this paper and which yoc must not fall to read. Somebody Has To Dear Aleck: You were talking about the job you do in your shop. Well, did you ever stop to think that there have to be some fellows who tie together all the jobs and all the work that all the men in a shop do? Yesterday a white-collared office chap came into the shop to see about the hurry job White and I are working on. Somebody had to know where that job was, why it was hung up and wasn’t coming through on time. And somebody had to see that the rest of the foremen hurried on it. Somebody had to get the order in the first place; or it might have gone to that Toledo concern. And somebody had to know how much it would cost to make it and how much to charge. I started the other day, Aleck, thinking where the money comes from to pay our wages on this job. I got paid last week, but the job is still in the assembly room— I saw it there today. And the company won’t get paid for the finished job until it’s shipped, and even then some times they don’t get the cash for a month or more. ‘$3 Does it look unfair—that some people get paid for taking care of these things? They have to be done no matter who ownes the factory. Aleck, because you occasionally get a poor banana, does that mean all bananas are poor ? And because there’s been a crooked man, does that mean we’re going to resign from the human race? And because once in a while a boss does wrong, does that mean to you that bosses are all wrong? Get the facts, Aleck—it helps. s Your brother, JIM. Copyright by Babson Institute, Babson Park, Maas. 7 :,d:’ ' >”**V - ,V n 'A:;V •£iv *’ jr. i : l m r. ,
