SYLVA HIGH GRIDDfeM REPORT FOR TRACONO (By John Parris, Jr.) Twenty-two candidates, ambitions for places on the team and eager to begin work, reported to eoaeh Jack Messer last week to begin the 1931 football season. Coach Messer, who makes his debut this season on the high school staff has no easy task as he points his charges for some stiff contests. The high school wants the co-op eration of the public this season, as they have a stiff schedule. Some fine contests will be seen on the local gridiron this year. Coach Messer wishes to give the local football fans the best football season they have eved had. What do you say, fansf Are we going to do our bit to make this the biggest and best season of football ever before had in Sylvaf Let's show Coach Messer the kind of spirit we have. The prospects for this year's team are very good. So, with the public playing a big part, football should hold a big hand in the coming season.

Expect Fight By To Retain Control (Special to The Journal) ' ' Washington, Sept. 9, (Autocaster) That the Republican Party is p'an ning to fight a hard battle next year whefi the presidential campaign is' tun off is shown by the introduction, of Dwight Morrow's name as a. pos-i : sible candidate for the second piace' on the ticket. Whether there is any I: weight back of the suggestion has not been divulged but it is known that many of the President's closest ad visers believe that the former am- j bassador to Mexico and Col. Lind bergh's father-in-law would add more strength to the ticket than any other Kepabliean. i It is no secret that Administration ; circles are convinced that Governor| Roosevelt of New York will be the j Democratic standard bearer and that I he is gaining strength every day by 1 his official actions. His recent tilt with Tammany over New York City graft investigation has won him many friends outside his own state, who saw by his actions that Tie will be no tool of the Wigwam if he wins the election. Apparently The Tiger lead- j ere have come around to the beaef! that they cannot afford a break | with the Democratic governor and1 it looks as if he will be able to count upon Tammany's effective though somewhat grudging support when the national convention is held. Late reports indicate that Roose velt will command 802 votes when the I Democratic Convention is called to! order next summer. This is vastly { more than two-thirds necessary to choose a Democratic candidate, or 666 votes. With such a foregone con elusion the Democrats are beginning to stir around and look over the list of available candidates for Vice Pres * to be chosen from the Solid South or the Southwest. The condition lends significance to the recent activities of "Alfalfa Bill" Murray, Governor of Oklahoma, and Governor ITuey Long, of Louisiana. Murray's spec tacular challange to the oil interests and Long's utterances on cotton have pat both men in the public eye. Eith er man would be more than satisfac tory to the Old South and satisfy the tieket makers from a geographical standpoint. Roosevelt has not tonly eiuer^Jed from his eontest with Tammany with added prestige but more recent ac-1 tivities in demanding a heavier in come tax in New York State to meet the unemployment crisis has mat with warm approval He wants to raise $20,000,000 for the distress fund j and figures the wealthy can well af ford to pay mord to combat the win ter distress. It is likely that increas ed taxes for those who can best af SENIORS ORGANIZE AT WEBSTER HIGH SCHOOL .*.K ?

BUMGARNER REUNION The 11th annual reunion of the Boimgamer family will" be held at Love's Chapel, Saturday, September 26th, 1931. I All relatives are urged to attend with well filled baskets and have a "large time" getting acquainted. An appropriate program will be rendered. I ... 3k J ford to pay them will be adopted. All these actions have mad?Tliim a popu lar figure and a man who will be hard for the Republicans to beat. Morrow is one of the most popu lar men in the entire Republican Party. His success in Mexico, which was on the verge of a business warj with the United States at the time he ?was sent there, showed him to be a mafi of high calibre. As a Morgan' partner, his weakest point with many! voters of radical tendency, he has! nev er been connected with any move-! ment that has been against the work ing man. In addition, he is known to be in sympathy with the wet?, par ticularly the "light wine and beer" contingent, and would corral many Republican voters who might be tempted to stray. Whether Lindbergh, his famous son-in-law, would turn his hand to aid the Morrow candidacy is not I known. A speaking campaign by Lind bergh would win many thousands of votes, as he is still the most popular j individual in the country and many 1 women would vote as lie says. That Lindbergh is not insensible to polituj- i cal influences is more than likely.! His own father was a Representative of more than ordinary influence and ability. In any event, Morrow would add immensely to the strength of the' Republican ticket as a running mate to Mr. Hoover, the politicians her? assert. . - While a lot of gossip is going the rounds about what the Administra tion plans in regard to wheat and cotton, particularly as to whether it intends to flood the market with it6 present holdings, the most accurate picturtf appears to be that a policy of letting nature take its course Wouldjbest describe its present atti- ; tWB. Mrofcl ?iniw on ff fa Hkely tttafr the soft pedal will be plaoed on all official actions in regartTTo the two big crops. i There is a growing belief that, China's need for wheat, will probably reach nearer fifty million bushels instead of the fifteen which has been promised it on long term credits, will be supplied from the gov- j eminent surplus, whether the bill is ever collected or not. Cotton is a hard- j er problem and the Farm Board, i which recently said it would make no j decision as to whether it might dump it or not) can be expected to an-! nouuee it will hang on to it for a I time anyhow, chiefly Because it can-1 not sell it now at anvwnere near a; price that would save lis face. The! Administration feels there is no cure flor the situation and that every-' body knows it and therefore there is no uae in trying to announce plans which it knows cannot be carried ont. THAD 0. BBYSON PASSES' Mr. Thad Q. Bryson, 82 year old Confederate veteran, died Sunday af ternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. W. Crawford, near Willits. The funeral services were conducted at the Crawford cemetery, Monday, by the Rev. R L. Cook and the Rev. Davis Dean. Mr. Bryson, a respected and vener able citizen of Scott's Creek tofrn3hip, was a member of one of Jackson county's pioneer and distinguished families. He was born and reared, and spsnt his life in this county. He is survived by two daughters and three sons, Mrs. Crawford, Mrs., R. W. Howell, of Columbia, S; C.,! Estes Bryson of Jackson county, and Goldman and Zeb Bryson of Wash ington State, and by a number of grandchildren and other relatives. FOOTBALL PLAYERS TO MEET MONDAY AT W. 0. T. C. Cullowhee, Sept. d.?

The two student coaches will be present. On that date the Freshmen Orientation program will begin at the college. President H. T.

TODAY and TOMORROW / (By Frank Parker Stock bridge) Food ) Henry Ford's order ' that every \ married man employed in his Iron1 Mountain plant must plant a veget able garden next year is an interest ing experiment which will be criti cized. by several different kinds of people. Commission men and dealers in garden produce will see in it a possible loss of good markets. And the people who think that an em ployer has 110 right to dictate to his employees about anything except their actual work in the factory will regard this order as an invasion of the individual worker's rights. My own view is that the resuTls of the Iron Mountain experiment, tf rec-. ords are carefully kept, as I assume they will be, may prove to b? the' most powerful stimulus to the gen-; eral movement away from the cities and hack to the economic independ-: ence of the small landholder who raises most of what be and his lam-' ily consume. Work ? x , ? In my home county, Berkshire,! Massachusetts, there are three impor tant industries. One of the General Electric's manufacturing plants is at Pittsfield, the county seat?or as the : oldtimers call it, the "shire town."| Nearly all the writing paper used i in America is made in the mills along! the Housatonic river, including the i paper on which the Federal Govern ' ment prints money and bonds. And the limestone quarries of Adams j and West Stockbridge in good years pay the New Haven railroad a quar ter of a million dollars in freight! charges on building anil agricultural' lime. None of these industries is running on full time these days, but we see j and hear little evidence of anything j approaching real distress. One of my 1 nearest neighbors has eleveq children At home, three more married. He i works in."*Njwper mill when jt run { ning, sells the milk from ten cows! through the local branch of the j Dairymen's League, grows feed for the cows and a pen of pigs on his hundied acres, besides cutting enough cordwood every winter to keep his house warm. He is a lot better off than the city worker who has noth ing to faTl hack on. Thrift The president of the largest sav ings bank in America is advising his 240,000 depositors to stop hoarding up their money, to draw it out and spend it for things which they will | need later and which they can buy j cheaper now than at any time since. the war. That is good advice. True thrift consists not in hoarding cash but in spending wisely. There never was, and probably will not again be for a long time, a better opportunity to buy a home, for example, or the equipment and furnishings of a home, or any of the other necessary things which do not lose their value with the passage of time. And every dol lar spent now hastens the day when the dollars will again circulate! freely. GLENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL OPEN8 WITH 276 ENROLLED The Glenville High School opened Monday, August 31, with an enroll ment of 276, the highest enrollment at the beginn'ng of any term.

DID YOU KNOW THAT? (By John Parris, Jr.) * Tsunulahunskik, misspelled Juna luska, was the most celebrated of the modern Cherokee chiefs.
