The school is not taxed to make up and deficits in athletics and the few games that we have nearby should be patronized by all lovers of this wholesome, exciting game where our boys work their hearts out trying to help their school. They get a lot of pleasure out of it and it is up to us to see that they have not worked in vain.ALABAMA EDITORS PRAYERPrayer to HooverSouthern Democrat (Oneonta, Alabama).: 0, Mighty Hoover who are in Washington, when not fishing ons r ' - y ' •-the Repidan, thy name is Hants.

If we had not beenso dumb, you would not be president.since you know how dumb weare, have mercy on us, for our pockets are empty, with a great emptiness—also our stomachs.
