ATHLETIC CLUB DEFEATS
ATHENS HIGH QUINTET
The local Athletic Club victoriously
subdued the Athens High School
Hornets here and there, Friday and
Saturday night.
The game Friday night was some-
what loose, although the Athens boys
fought hard for the game. The locals
were off on their goal shooting in the
initial part of the game, missing a
number of good shots, but managing
to make enough to keep a good ways
ahead. Jones led the scoring for the
locals with 14 points, while Tomp-
kins, Athens long, rangy forward, led
his team in high scoring honors with
three free pitches for a total of three
points. The final score was 33 to 7.
On Saturday night the locals jour-
neyed to Athens to again see victory
over the State Interscholastic League
Champions. This time the score was
29 to 23. The locals loafed some-
wLnt during the first half and Ath-
ene! led 16 to 13. The boys found that
they would have to fight harder with-
out the powerful Glass and Callo-
way and when the game ended we
saw on the score board, Grand Sa-
line 29 and Athens 23.
INDIANS DEFEATED AT
HANDS OF BULL DOGS
The Indian track team journeyed to
Edgewood Friday and met defeat by
the score of 68 to 41. C. A. Mayfield
was high point man for the Indians
with 16 points to his credit. Estes
was high point man for Edgewood
with 19 points.
On Friday night the Athletic Club
will play Morris Men’s Wear, the
team that held us to a two point vic-
tory in the A. A. U. Come out, for
a good time is assured. All of the
profits goes to the expense accounts
of the boys for this year.

HOW OUR TOWN COULD
BE IMPROVED
In our town, Grand Saline, there
is one of the best equipped salt
plants in the United States. This
plant is owned and controlled by the
Morton Salt Company. Although
this plant has been in operation here
for many years, this company does
not place the address on salt as Grand
Saline, but as Dallas. This would
help our town considerably if the peo-
ple would demand that the town be
advertised as the home of the salt.
Salt from this plant is used exten-
sively in the United States and even
abroad and none of the users in the
North know where it is manufactur-
ed. Now if they knew, they would
know something about the extensive
territory we serve. I do not think we
should serve the country and yet not
get credit for it.
Although we have a small town,
we have a necessity that people must
have. I think if people knew where
the salt they were using came from
and how it was manufactured they
would have more respect for this
town. We boast of making very fine
table salt, and I think we should re-
ceive credit for it. If all the people
would demand it, I am sure they
would receive more patronage.
