BOARD OF TRADE DOING
MOST EXCELLENT WORK
Results Are Receiving GGRGF-
al Approval

The efficient work being done by
the Board of Trade is receiving gen
eral approval and praise from the peo-
pie of Americus.
The securing recently of the next
annual conventions Of the Georgia
Dental Society and the Georgia Fire
mems Society, as we'll as the aggres-
sive efforts made to land several 9th
er conventions by the determined
work of the Board of Trade, has sery-
ed to show the fine spirit of alertness
and enterprise that President Craw-
ford Wheatley and Secretary Clarence
j. White, of that organization, sup
ported by the various standing COM
mittees, are putting into their work
in behalf of the upbuilding of Ameri-
Gus.
The recent meeting of the Board of
Trade was one characterized by an
unusually large attendance and most
helpful enthusiasm The matter Of
arousing interest as regards a larger
attendance at the meetings was
brought up for special consideration
Each one present pledged himself to
see personally some one else not at
the meeting in order that a much lar
ger attendance may be secured next
time
The Board Of Trade has already
made good, as the results Of its ex-
cellent work shows. The enthusiasm
and energy of its officers is unbound
ed, and they are working in determin-
ed manner to see that the efforts to
give Americas and this section wider
publicity of helpful kind does not
lag in the least as the result of the
hot weather The big Booster Ban

Law Makers Will Now Get

Nashville, Tenn, June 22.-The
Tennessee legislature will resume bus
mess tomorrow. After a conference
this morning the fusionist members
sent committee to the house, then
in session, requesting that adjourn
ment be taken until 2,o'clock this af-

Today's action marks the practical
end of the most memorable filibuster

enty days ago "a Independent demo-
Gratis and republican members of the

Alabama, breaking a quorum in the

LONDON IS Scene OF
CORONATION CEREMONY
King George Fifth is Crowned
King Of England

London, June 22.-King George Y,
eighth king of the house Of Hanover,
was today consecrated to the service
of the British empire and in turn re-
ceived the public homage of his world
wide subjects.
With his consort, Queen Mary, his
majesty was crowned in the abbey Of
Westminster with all the wealth of
religious rites and royal ceremonial
prescribed by historic custom
The picture within the grey walled
abbey was one of medieval splendor.
The coronation services, solemn and
imposing, were those handed down
from the earlier centuries and the
actors in the principal and secondary
roles of the great function today were
garbed in reproductions of the multi
colored gold embroidered trappings
worn by their ancestors.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators
shouted themselves hoarse at cen
tral points like the MALL and the
entrance to the admiralty archway,
where the government stands held q
score Of thousands. Trafalgar square
was SO densely packed that it would
have been possible to traverse the
square walking on the heads of peo-
pie, Parliament square, Clubland and

DON'T Hold BLANKS
BUT Send them IN
Lack Of Industrial Census
Hampers Board of Trade

The special attention of every busi-
ness man in Americus is called 70
the necessity of securing a complete
industrial census of all the manufac-
turing enterprises in the city as soon
as possible Secretary Clarence J.
White, OF the Board of Trade, has
sent out blanks to be filled in with this
necessary information, but up to date
not more than a third of these blanks
have been returned to him.
This matter is of the greatest i'm
portance to the business progress of
the city, as inquiries are being re-
ceived daily in regard to which the in
formation contained in an industrial
census would be invaluable, but these
inquiries cannot be answered on ac-
count Of the fact that industrial stat
tistics cannot be obtained The filling
out of the blanks in careful manner
will require only a very little time,
but the worth of the information thus
obtained would be invaluable.
A special request is made of every
one who now holds one of the blanks
that such blank be returned to the
secretary fthe Board of Trade, prop
erly filled out, at the earliest possible
moment, as each day of delay hurts
the future growth of the city in man
ufactures. The information thus OBJ
tanned is to be held in the strictest
secrecy, and is to be given out as a
whole and only to those who are right
ly interested in such information. No
possible harm can result to any one on
account of supplying this information,
but great amount of good can be
done for the city within the next
twelve months by every one who joins
even to this extent in the work of the
Board of Trade

How MusseIs Move.

The general impression Is that mus
sells do not move they fasten them
selves to certain objects or they lie In
the mud and sand at the bottom Of the
water and there they pass their exist
ence. In proof Of this the fact is adj
duced that mussels are at times buried
under the sandy deposit when rush
of water carries lot of soil with it. A
naturalist who has devoted much time
to the study OF these creatures says
that mussels do move slowly and the
movement is accomplished in the fol
lowing manner: The mussel opens its
shell and projects its body to certain
extent from its projecting case. Then
it exerts some force whereby 1t keeps
the shell above the soil and uses its
body to propel itself along the bottom
just in the same way as land snake
gets over the ground. If the sand Is
examined after the mussel has taken
one of these strolls II will be easy to
see two parallel lines caused by the
edges of the shell touching the ground.
