WILL AMERICUS SEEK
TO GET Immigrants?
Georgia is to Be Represented
at Exposition

There is no doubt now that Georgia
will be well represented at the forth
coming United States Land and Irri-
cation Exposition to be held in Chicago
next November, notice concerning
which was published in Sundays edi-
ton Of The Times-Recorder.
Since it is true that the state will
be well represented, it is now espe-
cially necessary that Americas and
Sumter county seek to have good ex-
hibit at the exposition, because all the
larger and more progressive sections
of the state will be represented. The
Board of Trade has taken up the mat
ter of arousing enthusiasm locally in
this excellent project to attract immi-
grants to this section. "A recent edi-
ton of The Atlanta Journal contains
the following article concerning the
interest that is being aroused in At
lanta and elsewhere in having the
state appropriately represented.
Georgia will have a comprehensive
exhibit at the United States Land and
Irrigation Exposition November / to
December 9, this fall, at Chicago.
Active plans looking to this end
were entered into Saturday morning
at special meeting of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, with the fol-
lowing gentlemen present: Col. Fred
erick ]. PaXon and Walter G. Cooper,
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce;
C. Fort Andrews, of the Waycross

COTTON MARKETS

New York, May 29.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of to points on better cables than
due and overnight buying orders, prob
ably inspired by renewal of old crop
bull support and the firmer turn in
the local market late Saturday Crop
advices, however, continued favorable,
and prices eased off during the early
trading The market continued to re-
ceive some support from the leading
bulls daring the late forenoon.

he will prove.

templates the reorganization of the

termination to make this team the
best.

STUDENTS FORMING
AGRICULTURAL CLUB
SOCIETY WILL WORK
FOR IMPROVED METHODS
Move Follows Establishment of High
school Course i'm Agriculture
Farmers and Business Men Invited
10 Join Organization.

Students of the Pendleton high
school will meet this evening follow
ing the close of school for the pur-
pose of taking the first steps towards
organizing an agricultural club. At
the meeting they will decide upon a
time and a place for holding a later
meeting at which others than stu
dents will be admitted to the organ
ization.
The organization of the agricultural
club is one of the steps to be taken
with a view to furthering the work
in the agricultural course at the high
school and to awakening a greater
interest in the subject of agriculture.
Immediately upon his arrival here
10 take charge of the high school ag-
ricultural course, Leroy Breithaupt,
instructor in agriculture submitted
to the school board, through Super
intendent Landers, a written report in
which he made several recommended
tions with reference to his work He
suggested the formation of an agri-
cultural club, the establishment of
an experiment station in connection
with the high school work and the
strengthening of the agricultural in
struction in the grade schools.
The sanction of the school authori-
ties having been given to the agri-
club, active work towards the forma-
ton of such an organization is now
on. Today membership lists were
circulated among the students and
many signers were found. The stu
dents will now take up the work of
enlisting their fathers and other peo-
pie in the organization.
1t is the desire of Mr.. Breithaupt,
and also of Superintendent Landers
and Principal Hampton, to enlist a
large number of active members in
the club. Practical farmers, busi-
ness men and others who may be in
terested are invited to join the club.
At the meetings various subjects per-
tanning to agriculture and kindred
subjects will be discussed. 1t is also
the intention to at times have pro-
grams of an even wider range.

Astoria. Ore, Feb. 14.-Members-

searching for the bodies of six mer1-
bers of the gasoline schooner Osh-
kOsh, drowned yesterday when a big:
wave overturned the boat three miles
off the Columbia river jetty. The boat
was out of her course while en- route
to the Umpqua river from Tillamook.
George Hay, an engineer at Ham
mond, is reported practically recov-
cred. He is the only survivor. When
the craft went over he was caught in
the engine room and hung to the
machinery until the gale beached the
boat. He walked out of his prison
after three hours.
