When TEDDY-G said he'd like to try

And wind the old thing up said he,

So ont they went with Dutchie Hans
And up they climbed the windn2ills hands,
a bear each and two hands free
Going tcerer-tater. ec-saw-sec.
TIN all at the wind IT blew
And round and round the old thing flew
Like sixty-three and ninety eight
SO fast they couldn't count the gait,
The farmers crowded near the tower
To the windmill grind their flour
With Teddy Bears going round and round
SO quickly they couldn't see the ground
At last the wind let up bit
And the Bears got off on the tower to sit,
Said TEDDY-B. Lets go below
MY head and feet swimming so"
But TEDDY-G just laughed and said
The wheels have not yet reached my head;
That fun was great and the flour ground,
Let's get II cooked and passed around"
The farmers wife gave each a seat
And brought out biscuits thick 10 eat
And talked in Dutch in a pleasant way
or Roosevelt Bears and America.
The things she said they supposed were true
And they answered back though they knew,
They talked 10 lad, they went,
Whose feet tired and whose back was bent
Carrying a load, two baskets big
Heaped full enough for horse and rig.
Said TEDDY-G, "Givc your load,
I'll carry II along the road.

And on they went. two boys; two bears
One little dog: two loads OF wares.
To Delft Haven town they went one dav
From which the Pilgrims sailed awav
To see the place and the records read
or the early strife and daring deed
OF New England fathers brave and trt,a
Who founded freedom for me and yo,,
In The little church the sexton told
Them stories OF these patriots bold
And showed them Bibles which he said
By the Pilgrims and all were read
The day they sailed that little flock
Before the SDeedwell left the dock,
And how this old ship lost the race
When the little May1ower took Its place
At Amsterdam they bade good-day
To the lads they met along the way
And gave them each cash 10 paw
For lunch to cat and games to play
Then OF they rambled round the town
To study Dutch and write It down.
They stopped to view a public square
A famous Rembrandt statue there
nd to read his life and study art
And rest their legs for another start

The following day at half past two
The The Roosevelt Bears were at waterloo
Where with guide they rode around

And women labor with all their might
Where cows grow horns both round and fiat
And all the horses are strong and fat;
Where men in baggy trouserctte

Where boys never known TO run
And ocean fogs shut out the sun,
Where city streets big canals
And boys named either Hans or Halls. e
Where flowers and birds crowd every tree
From Amsterdam to Zuyder Zee

To feed the dog and rest the load;

PLENTY OF BOOZE YET

Dealers in AmeriCus Are
Well Fixed.

Americus liquor dealers will be

upon their reserve supply during the
holiday season, and while stocks are
being reduced daily all orders will
be filled until 10!30 p, M, on Dec
ember 81 when the long "drouth' be-
gins.
They will stand no risk of being
caught empty-handed by the thirsty
even at the last moment when the
last round of drinks in the last few
minutes of the year is being drunk
The chances are that several bars
will have part of their stock on
hand when the dry days arrive.
1t is said that a number of saloon
men have been notified that they
can have shipped to them as much
whiskey as they desire, with the dis

bars from too early closing.
But in most of the bars ample
preparation has been made to accom-

til Georgia goes dry on New Years
day.
Some persons have expressed their
intention of shipping bottles to
friends in other sections of Georgia
late on the afternoon of Dec. 81, in
order that the friends to whom the
bottles are addressed may receive
them under the prohibition regime
Others want. to lay in a stock foI

tions may make liquor hard to find

the death of the liquor trade in Am

ARE PUZZLED AT LAWS
IN REGARD TO PRIZES
DedIersIn a Quandary About
Matter.

Americus merchants who have been
accustomed to issue with purchases
made in their stores, numbered tick
cts which entitle their holder to
chance to win prizes offered by the
merchant are much impressed by the
announcement that elsewhere in
Georgia the foot of the government
has been set down upon the GUS
tom.
In the holiday season lucky num-
bers" are eagerly sought by custom
ers in the stores where tickets are
issued and it has been considered a
good advertising scheme. In Ameri-
Gus the practice is frequently met
with at Christmas when chance to
win a costly present is held out to
customers of Christmas goods.
The announcement that the custom
is not far from the lottery schemes
tabooed by federal law, has had a
marked effect locally.
One or two merchants who have
been accustomed to offer prizes and
issue numbered tickets and who
were expecting to- continue the
practice are hesitating before they
decide what their course will be.
I'VE do not want to violate federal
law" said one merchant last night.
And we don't want to cease our
habit of giving away prizes in this
way. If the two can't agree we will
obey the law of course, but if we
can we will offer prizes as usual
this year"
Another stated that he would con-
suit an attorney in order to determine
just what the anti-lottery law COW
