Most Good”
The young men’sclass and the
young ladies class of the Metho-
dist church held a party in the
basement of the church last
night to . observe HaHow’een.
About twenty-five were present
and enjoyed the evening. As
the spooky guests arrived they
were conducted on a ghost walk
through dark rooms and up
stairs.
After all the guests had ar-
rived each one was required to
perform some funny stunt and
then they unmasked and par-
took of the Witches Broth which
was very good. Numerous gam
es were played and a very pleas-
ant evening passed
There were a few visitors pres
ent besides the members of the
two classes and their teachers.
The home of Genevieve Poth
was brilliantly lighted with jack
o-lanters and candles on the
night of Oct. 29, 1920.
About eight o’clock the guests
began to gather and a selection
on the piano was given as they
entered the house, witches es-
corted them to their places and
soon the fun began.
After many games and con-
tests were played and enjoyed,
those present were asked to
gather in the yard, where the
costumes were judged with
Grace Smith winning first prize
and Joe Jarmon winning booby,
after this refreshments of punch
and wafers were served.
Games continued until
early hour of the morning,
ter this all the members parted,
after a very enjoyable evening
at the Soph’s Halloween party
of 1920.

Dr. and Mrs. F. W. Ledbetter
entertained the Bible Class of
the Christian Church with a Hal
loween Party Thursday evening
Oct. 28. The home was most
artistically decorated for the oc-
casion and the fortune tellers
tent pitched in the yard. The
old witches brew formed part of
the refreshments for the even- I
ing and was prepared to a
Queens taste.
A fine musical program was
rendered to the delight of all the
ghosts. Miss Brownlee sang
most beautifully. Prof. Bailey
played some choice selections on
the Violin. Miss Compton capti
vated every one with select read
ings and Miss Tressa Ledbetter
was at her best in the rendition
'of two vocal solos.
More than fifty guests gather
ed to do honor to the occasion.
It was about the “Spookiest”
crowd that ever assembled and
so complete was the disguise
that but few knew who was sit-
ting by them. Miss Compton
received first prize for the most
complete disguise and Mrs.
Homer A. McCarty second. The
occasion was most enjoyable
from Beginning to end and folks
lingered until a late hour.
Every one voted the Doctor
and his wife most delightful en-
tertainers and the splendid
Bible Class are under lasting ob
ligations to them.

THE PRESIDENTS ADVICE
TO THE PUBLIC
o
HOBBY TELEGRAM
NOTICE
SETTLEMENT HOW
LOOKS CERTAIN
Speaking to pro-League Republicans Thursday President Wil-
son declared that party lines should be ignored in the coming elec-
tion and candidates chosen or defeated according to their attitude
toward the League of Nations. To quote him exactly:
As compared with the choice of a course of action that
now underlies every other, the fate of parties is a matter
of indifference.
Parties are significant now in this contest only because
the voters must make up their minds which of the two
parties is most likely to secure the indispensable results.
• • •
It’s a poor rule that doesn’t work both ways. If pro-League
Republicans should follow this advice, anti-League Democrats
should follaw it, too. In calling upon the former to enter the
Democratic camp, the President practically challenges the latter
to leave it.

“B. Wittjen, Galveston cotton man, has proposed a plan where-
by the growers who have held over low-grade cotton from last
year or who have accumulated a quantity of this year’s crop, can
market it in the ports of Europe, where the demand for the lower
grade affords a better price than that offered in this country.
It is pointed out by Mr. Wittjen that the sale of the lower
grades at this time will enable the growers to hold their cotton
of higher grade until such time as the market shall regain its
former strength.
‘I do not think it advisable for the farmer to sell all of his cot-
ton at the present prices’, said Mr. Wittjen, ‘but with the ex-
pense of holding the product accuring daily, and warhouse charg-
es adding still greater expense to the already high cost of produc-
tion, the farmer can, by exporting his lower grade to Europe,
realize enough from the sales to aid him in holding his higher
grade for a better price.’ ”
