So cold my dog has died; My bacon goes unfried; From out the mountain side, Some coal please bring. My vacant coal bin thee; From fuel thou art quite free. For thee no love. I hate to pay thy bills, But I hate worse these chills; My house with cold air fills, Below and a-bove. Our father's bin's like thee; No relief in sight for me; I am freezing.

Soon may our hearth be bright With good, cheap coal fire's light, Or will it be "Goodnight!" Winter is king. -Lester C. Walters.

METHODIST AID NOTES The contest which has been running in the aid during the summer and fall months ended November 29, with the Daisies as the winner, having made 509 points. The contest was a very close one however, as the Sunflowers totaled 495 points.

The two captains, Mrs. Allbritten and Mrs. Ralph Cannon deserve much credit for the way in which they conducted the contest for they were hoth very much alive to the feeling of worthy rivalry, and both had the needs of the Church and Aid at heart. The good that has come from the contest probably cannot be estimated. for it seems it has proved beneficial in every way.

Not only as a financial gain, but as a means of furthering the interests of the Aid, as to membership and general interest, it has proved a wonderful help. Attendance at Prayer meetings and the Aid has been increased and all church activities have been benefitted. Tas amount of money turned into the treasury of the Aid from the two sides was almost equal. The Sunflowers having made $404.00 and the Daisies $393.32, making a total of $797 32. Membership in the Aid has been increased greatly.

The Daisies having gained 28 new members, and the Sunflowers 9, bringing the total membership of the Aid to over 100. The Aid will meet December 13, the church with Mesdames A1- at 1britten, Fetterhof and Edna Nichols hostesses, Let every member be as present for the last two meetings we have in this year and finish this year's work in a creditable manner.

S. ENDS VICTORIOUS FOOTBALL SEASON FOR 1922 A Brief Summary of The Football Games Played By the C. H. S. Fotball Squad.

Cunningham High School ended her football season 011 Tuesday, November 28, when she played Preston a goose game on the home gridiron. People who saw the game, claim it was the best game of the season, saying that all the boys who wore the red and white played real icetball. The game was really 11 Cunningham's favor most of the time 25 the game was played in the opponents zone most of the time. The home team managed to carry the ball within fifteen yards of Preston's goal and lost the ball with only yard and a half to gain in the fourth down. The closest Preston carried the ball to H.

goal was thirty yards. At one tine the lord boys punted the ball across the goal line, and Elmer Lunam, who was behind the punter, recovered the ba'l but 011 account of the ball striking the fence back of the coal the touch lown was declared illerial by this technicality The C. H. season began late and ended early with ten games crowed into it. In the last eight days the boys played three games.

During entire season the games won were and the games lost were three, one tie. The record stands as laws: Cunnin 26. Kingman 0: Cunningham 0: Cunningham 3, Pretty Pra' 12: Cunningham 40, Spivey Cunningham 52. Isabel 38. Isabel Cunningham 7, man 20: Cunningham 32, Spivey 6: inningham 0, Cheney 34; Cunningham 0.

Preston 0. Total points for Cunningham 253, opponents 72. Althou this is not a perfect record at same time it is a good one becaus fifty per -cent of the teams must lose all their games or all the te must lose fifty: per cent of the games and this -record is considerably better than that. Those win composed the first team were: Ray Ruth, Wilmer Cozens, I CUNNINGHAM, Perry Luce, Richard Jones, Bedford Taylor, Dyche, RT Forrest Jones, RE "Ted" Harte, Clayton Watkins, I Elmer Lynam, Curtis Whetstone, Substitutes: Roy Lawhead, Claude Murray, Chester Ruth, Elbert Harris and Willis Rouse. Roy Wetherall, quarterback for three years withdrew from school after he had played two games.

Claude Murray, a new man of prom-1 ising timber helped out in the last three games. Those who never missed a practice during the entire season deserve honorable mention for this fact. They were five in all, namely: Clayton Watkins, Ted Harte, Elmer Lynam, and Ray Ruth. For those people who think it, takes beef and bacon to make a football team, cannot take Cunningham as an example because the average weight of the team was about one hundred and forty-five pounds. Although the team was light in weight, it won com some of its heavier rivals all came through the season without being badly battered up 011 account of this deficiency in weight.

Clayton Watkins, captain of the team, was for fair play at all times and it was quite a joke when he would happen to be called for However, the necessary roughness wa not intentional in any way on his part. During a game you could hear him say at different intervals. "Come on gang, lets have a touchdown." Although this may not unusual saying it was no doubt be an what he thought. "Prof." Kimel, the coach, was busy than any of the probably more plavers during the game. A person did not need too look his wav to what he was doing.

If the know happened to be a close one, he game and down the side would be going up lines with an anxious expression on face and most likely would be his in the game himwishing he were would say to the boys beself. He fore a game. "If they give us a deal we will do the rest, now square go in and fight." Miss Maude FitzSimmons visited her grandparents in Pratt the week end. Both grandparents are ill, the grandfather being quite low. $1.50 Per Year.
