TWO AGENCIES TO BUILD UP
AMERICUS THIS YEAR.

This year should be marked by the
greatest progress that Americas has
known in recent years. It's close
should find the population greater, it
should find business increased, it
should find more avenues for employ
ment than ever before. A record break
ing year is easily within our reach if
We make the effort
Two agencies will work to that end.
The Board of Trade, with four years
of valuable experience behind it, can.
and will advertise Americas during the
remainder of 1910 as it never has
been advertised before. That is one or
the main objects for which the Board
OF Trade was organized, to bring
Americas and Sumter county promi-
nently before the world of investors
and home seekers.
This year recourse will be had to
various agencies for the purpose of
spreading the facts about this city
and county before those it is desired
to reach. Use will be made of several
of the great industrial papers of the
country, and advertisements will be
carried in leading farm journals. Back
ing these up will be pamphlets, cir
culars and other advertising matter
that can be sent to all who display iu-
terest in the conditions here and de-
sire further information.
This campaign of advertising should
bring Americas and Sumter county in
touch with many thousands of inter
ested parties during the next eight
months
The Americas Industrial Develop
ment Company is the other agency
that will be working to make this a
| record breaking year. It takes up the
work where the Board of Trade leaves
it off. 1t offers the inducement to
manufacturers to establish small
plants here, it investigates opportunit-
les that may offer for Americas to
secure small manufacturing plants, ii
devotes it's capital directly to the
work of locating such plants in this
city.
These two agencies commend them
selves to every citizen interested in
advancing the gth of the city and
county.
Every citizen in Americas should be
either a member of the Board of Trade
or a stockholder in the Industrial De-
velopment Company, or both if his
finances will permit.
The membership fees in the Board
of Trade are small, the price of
share of stock in the development
company is but $40. In either instance
the payments are made monthly, if
desired.
Take the matter home to yourself
personally. Think it over. Are you
not sufficiently interested in Americas,
sufficiently anxious for it to grow
through these mediums, for you to be-
come a member of one or the other of
these organizations?
Make up your mind that you are not
going to be drone, that you are go
ing to be a worker, that you are de-
termined to do your share toward Civ
ing Americas and Sumter county the
greatest stimulus they have had IN
many years.
Once We get that spirit thoroughly
aroused in this city and county noth-
ing on earth will be able to prevent
both city and county from having a
development that will astonish the
most sanguine.

PRETTY LITTLE ALICE LLOYD WHO CAME
 ACROSS OCEAN ALONE

ments would hardly call for extended comment but Alice Lloyd, the second. has done what perhaps a half dozen little girls of her age out of million. in this great wide world have donc and that is cross the big wide ocean alone, without being seasick day and to shon the little ones courage she is going back across the ocean alone in ten days.
 The little one is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Hugh Lloyd who are on the bill at Poli's this week. Hugh Lloyd as any one who has seen the bill will rope and Mrs. Lloyd, who is known on the stage as Maude Mhyllis, assists him in the act contributing a most charming stage presence.
 Two months ago little Alice. who lives with her grandma in Shepherds Bush, England, while her parents are touring this country wanted to gee them and likewise they had a longing 10 see her. Vaudeville engagements fin thlS country do not permit of time tO tourney back and forth to England so the only thing left was for the little one to come across to see her parents and she made the journey on the big Lusitania in the care of the steward ess nominally but really after the first day out in the care of the entire pas senger list of the first cabin for Alice is a great little mixer and became the pet of the ship on the way over On the tenth of the coming February the little one will board the Lusitana again and make the homeward journey, as before all alone.
 Alice has inherited ambitions and she wants to go on the stage. She rather inclines to doing an act on the bounding rope but daddy" has put a camper on that ambition good and stronger. During the week she has become such devoted admirer of Lil- Han Ashley that she rather believes that she will sing songs and tell stoT- ies although she regrets she is not a boy for if she were she is quite sure sine would do a Laddie Cliff act.
 In any event her parents believe that a little instruction in reading, writing. etc at Shepherds Bush is the best training for a few years to come and that is the ultimatum with Alice.
 With her parents she was a guest of the Algonquin club Wednesday at the Night in Bohemia" and became a general favorite with the club mem bers and their wives
 She has expressed only one regret during her visit to Bridgeport and that lies in the fact that her daddy won't accede to her repeated requests to brv the baby giraffe which as the circus winter quarters kere as she says if he bought it and let her take ft home, she and grandma would have lots of. fun with t. Alice is not yet familiar with the market price of baby giraffes.

FREE CONCERTS
 NEXT SUMMER
Wheeler & Wilson Band
 Will Continue to Play,
 Even Though Artillery Band Gets Appropriation

When the Coast Artillery band pc titioned the Common Council and the Board of Apportionment for S1.600 for free band concerts in the public parks they started the door bells of the homes of aldermen ringing with a din that was without harmony.
 There is the Wheeler & Wilson band, The Banda Italia, The Woodmen of the Worlds band, The City band, The Coast Artillery band. The Swedish band. The Schoolboys' band, George Howden's new band, The Shrlnefs band and a number of other musical organizations that could be thrown to- gether in this, city and all feel that they are entitled to q part or any subsidy that the city might make.
 Friends of the Wheeler & Wilson band are fearful that this band, Whlch is the only one in the city that seems to be able to raise money by pubIlc subscription for free concerts, VIII pc affected seriously if the money goes to the Coast Artillery band. They fear that subscribers of the past Will turn down any petitions for funds next year if it is known that the city Is paying -aoney for music.
 A Farmer reporter interviewed John A. Lynch. leader and secretary of the Wheeler & Wilson band, this morn ing. He said: we don't think the city government is going to be so fool ish as to vote money to some specific organization, especially when the band that is looking for the money can make no claim to great public service in the past.
 Ut is not necessary that the mem bers of the Wheeler & Wilson band should inform the public that if an appropriation is made that it could honestly lay claim to first considera- ton of the city. For 47 years the Wheeler & Wilson band has played in the parks of the city, the first concert being played in 1861. For the above concerts the city paid nothing, the ex- pense being paid by public subscrip- tion. When the band wanted a new bandstand in Seaside Park it con- tributed $500 to build the stand.

v 3l CHICAGO BELLE TO BE WITNESS AT COURTMARTIAL
Especial from United Press. )


 Boston, Jan. 29.-That the Boston Navy Yard scandal. which is said to have been precipitated for the sake of pretty Miss Dorothy Hesler of Chicago, when Paymaster G. P. Auld and Dr. Ansey Hamilton Robnett are alleged to have assaulted Dr. Fl. s. Cowles at a navy ball, will result at least very unpleasantly for the Chicago belle, is evident here today.
 That Miss Hesler's relatives and the family of the Rev. Henry J. Kilburne of Maiden are not well pleased with Miss Hesler's action in llastening here from Chicago to be present at Mon days courtmartial to offer evidence they admit and their declaration today that Miss Hesler has left their home is taken as pointing to a serious dis agreement.
 Just where pretty Miss Hesler has buried herself until the courtmartial opens MT. Kilburne or his family will not state Asked as to Miss Heslers whereabouts pr. Robnett would only say: 'It is official Navy Department business and I cannot talk.''
 Major A. W. Catlin. judge advocate of the courtmartial, has already issued summons to five witnesses to appear at the hearing on Monday, and Cap tain Herrshinger and Major Leonard of Sutton case fame. who are to ap- pear for Auld and Robnett. are busy on the defense. It is understood that the practical charge against Auld and Robnett will be the ancient one of "maltreating an inhabitant while on shore.'' It is a survival of wartime days in the navy and carries as a pen atty dishonorable discharge with per- manent prohibition from ever again entering the service of the United States.

OPEN BREACH
 BETWEEN TWO
 LABOR ORDERS
President Lee of Railroad Trainmen Says He'll Have No Dictation from A.
 F of l..
Present Row Caused By Recent Strike of the Sus- uuehanna ShOpmen.

New York, Jan 29.-That the train men and conductors on the 32 big rail- roads centering in the east are thor oughly in earnest in their demands for increased wages and shorter hours and strongly resent intrusion on the part Of the American Federation of Labor into their international affairs may be gathered from today's developments ill the pending war conferences between committees representing the men and officials.
 The brotherhood of railway trainnen and the order of railroad conductors are not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and that sL bitter feud exists between these two great branches of labor, was gleaned from speech made at a secret session of the trainmen by International President w. G. Lee, who said:
 we intend to support union labor. both financially and morally, at all times, but we do not propose to sub- init to dictation from the American Federation of Labor"
 President Lee was asked today to explain that statement. He expressed considerable surprise that his remark had become public but admitted that he had made it. He said:
 .'The Union men, that is the men of the B. R. T. and the o. R. C., have taken the initiative in this movement and they are thorouhgly in earnest. They believe that they are right in their demands. So do I.
 'I am not prepared to say what will happen in the event of the railroads refusing to secede to the demands made by the joint conferences which are only beginning. I can not say at this early stage whether or not there will be a strike. I know little about the American Federation of Labor and care less. The big brotherhoods are able to run their own affairs and will not be dictated to by any One.''
 Lee refused to explain where the diff ficulty between the two big labor or ganizations started but it is rumored that the recent strike of the shopmen of the Susquehanna brought matters to a crisis. It is charged that some of the officials of the American Fedora ton of Labor with whom the shopmen are affiliated sought to get the train men and conductors with them. This alleged .'meddling'' is said to have caused an open breach between the great orders

band sent to the Board of Apportion- ment it was claimed that this band was entitled to help from the city be- cause it's members were enlisted and ready to go to war any time they were called upon. Our answer to this fS that the Coast Artillery band gets pald by the State and that the Wheeler e Wilson also served as a militia band enlisted in the service of the State for forty years.
 "Furthermore it would seem peculiar to the thousands of people who turn ont to hear the wheeler & Wilson band at the concerts in preference to other bands if the city should subsidize an- other band. Our band is classed with the best bands in the country. It was organized in 1859 and after 51 years ft is better than ever before. It has done much to advertise the city of Bridgeport all over the country.
 Since the Coast Artillery band has learned that there was opposition to one band getting the money they have asked the other bands to join issue with them in the matter. We believe we should profit by the experience, of New Haven where an effort was nAde to subsidize the Second Regiment band. All of the bands wanted the merry and now there are no concerts.
 AS far as we are concerned it mat ters little this year whether an ap- propriation is made or not. We VIII assure the public that the Wheeler E Wilson band will continue to play con- certs as heretofore. The city will have free band concerts in the parks duriu the coming season the same as ever.

HIGH MARKS IN
 COST OF LIVING
Bradstreet's Record Shows Record Was Established
 January 10
Probability that Worst Is Yet to COme-Illuminat- ing Investigations Are Expected.
(Hartford Courant.)

Bradstreet's latest record of prices of commodities that everyone uses comes at a time when interest in the acute stage. The anti-meat boycott is spreading over the country. It has attained such proportions that it would seem likely to succeed but for the fact that the people must eat some thing. The beef trust is not the only offender. What every consumer knows is that practically everything needed to sustain life is high, and that there is no relief in sight. The only basis of cheerfulness is to be found in the very great probability that '.the worst is yet to come.''
 BradStreet'S record shows that we are now experiencing the very 'worst" to date. Most of us have suspected it, and now we know it. This record covers prices on 96 commodities that enter into daily consumption, and it shows that on January 1 the cost of living had increased so that a new high record was established. The pre- vious high mark was made on March 1, 1907, and this was exceeded on the first of the present month by II per cent.
 The Investigations to begin this week may be expected to throw some light on a problem that interests eV- erybody. The federal government will probe the beef trust. Good luck to the federal government The House committee on the District of Columbia will try to learn why prices are so high in the district. In New York City District Attorney Whitman will inquire as to whether there is any direct connection between high prices and cold storage plants. "This stOr- age problem may be the keynote" MT. Whitman says. If all the investiga- tions now under way or decided upon are prosecuted vigorously, they will bring out some mighty interesting facts.
 It is early yet to tell just where this proposed boycott on meat will end. It may prove a mere newspaper sensa tion and it may reach around and hurt. The retailer, having been for many years helpless and dependant at the hands of the meat combina- ton, is now getting raps for selling meat and there are combinations or ganizing to deprive him of his busi- ness. This may be the way to stop the high prices, but it is the way to sacrifice an honest industry. We have grave doubts about the movement be- coming serious, and further doubts whether it is not 'in restraint Of trade'' and unlawful,

WISE FATHER WHO
 KNOWS OWN CHILD
Hospital Officer Says Many Rich Women Adopt Ba- bies and Do Not Tell Illus bands.

Chicago, Ill.,, Jan. 29.-''There are in Chicago today fully 5000 husbands fOndling infants that are not their own, but babies adopted by their wives and the deluded fathers are none the Wiser.''
 This statement was made by Lyman w. Rogers, Treasurer of the National Maternity Hospital, from which insti- tuition, he says, some 250 infants are adopted into good homes every year.
 The case which gave rise to the in quiries concerning such matters here was the testimony before a Los Ange- les jurist of Mrs. c. E. Smith of the California city, who furnished to Mrs. W. Wilson of that city four children which the latter pretended were her own.
 Tt is rarely that a man wants a child that is not of his own blood '' said MT. Rogers, ''and if some hus- bands who are bringing up children knew the truth about them I tremble be.
 'NThere is a man in Chicago, who is supposed to be worth millions. He passes much of his time in Europe. It would be a breach of trust to mention his name, but it is a fact that his wife has obtained two babies from one hospital, which he honestly believes to be his own.
 Again, a husband left his wife after an altercation of some kind and went to Indianapolis. The woman was in despair. She wanted him to come back An idea struck her, and she came to the hospital and adopted little boy. Then she wired to her husband, and told him a son had been born to them He never suspected, but came right back on the next train. Over the era dle of that innoncent youngster, the flesh and blood of a nameless father and mother, husband and wife effected a reconciliation

COMMITTEE TAXES UP COMPLAINTS OF
 BOSTWICK SCHOOL

The council committee on fire de- partment of the Council met last night to consider the communication relating to the faulty condition of the Bostwick avenue school. The com munication has been printed in the Farmer and is signed by James A. Coates, Nicholas J. Byrnes and John J. O'Neil.
 Alderman Wilder seemed to be of the opinion that inasmuch as the school board is ill full authority over the schools, and has accepted the building and released the bond of the contractor that there is no remedy that can be applied by the council.
 Nevertheless it is probable that the committee will ask the city attorney for an opinion.
