Protection HELPS Foreigners.
The Stanley steel investigating
committe has made public the ex-
port prices of steel trust prod
ucts. This is a very important
piece of news, inasmuch as il
shows great differences in prices
in favor of foreigners, and there
fore, probably will result in a
great reduction, if not the remov-
al, of all tariff duty on steel.
The figures given out show
that the trust charges American
consumers 1927 per gross ton
for steel plates, while supplying
the identical article to foreigners
at $29.03. The unprotected for
eigner thus receives an advan-
tage of So. 03 over the protected
American consumer. The adj
vantage given the foreigner in
steel rails is So "a per ton; in tin
plate, 1854, and in structural
steel, $3.50.
Query: If the steel trust sells
its products cheaper to foreign
ers than to home consumers, who
is the actual beneficiary of the
American protective system?
The foreigner or the home con-
sumner.
Morgan Crowd Wanted Hughes.
In a recent speech in New
York, George w. Perkins, late
partner of j. P. Morgan, said
that Gov. Hughes was put for
ward in 1908 by Wall Street to
represent the Republican party's
position on the trust question,
and that Gov. Hughes, in his
speech at Youngstown, O., con-
strued the Republican promise
to amend the Antitrust law as
follows
In our progress we must avoid
false steps. Ours must be the
rule of reason" &c.
Congress refused to legalize
reasonable" or any other kind
of monopolies, so Gov. Hughes
was put on the Supreme bench
and helped twist the law to make
it conform to the trust idea OF
what the Republican promise
meant.
Add to Mr.. Perkins significant
remark, the further fact that
Hughes bitterly opposed an in
come tax, and his qualifications
as the Taft choice for the SUI
preme bench become readily ap.

Soft for Beef Trust.
Ed G. Lasater, president OF
the Texas Cattle Raisers' associ
alton, says that 300 per cent
profit disappears somewhere be-
tween the producers and con.
sumers of beef; that prices paio
producers are decreasing, while
prices extorted from consumers
are going up. He proposes tt

the statement that he suspect:

What the Farmer Gets.

B. F. Yoakum, president of the Frisco railroad,
has had table of figures prepared, showing how
much the farmer gets for products sold in New
York in one year. and how much the New York
consumer pays for those same products Here are
the figures:
Farmer gets Consumer pays
Eggs : II, 258, 900 s28 750 600
Rice, 1334OGO 9 1e1 OoO
Cabbage, 1925 600 9125OO
Onions S21 900 800 OOO
Milk 22,92OOO 4888OOOO
Potatoes 3425O00 CO. 000 600
Meat and poultry 219 4270OO 491 600 OoO
On the average, the farmer gets a cents out
OF each dollars worth of his products. The express
companies, and the railroads, and the cold storage
concerns, thanks to the failure of successive Repub-
lican administrations protect the consumer, draw
down golden harvest in excessive charges.

Canned Apple Sauce.

In February or March, while apples
are plentiful and before they lose
their flavor, it is a good plan to can
them for use in the late spring when
other fruit is scarce. The following is
a good method: Peel and core 5he
apples and cook (without sugar. with
as much water as for ordinary apple
sauce. Use perfect fruit jars-have
them thoroughly clean and warm. Fill
in the usual way with the boiling ap-
ple-sauce and screw on the tops at
once. When the jars are opened the
sauce may be seasoned to taste. Ap-
pels canned in this way will keep for
an indefinite time. We usually do
about fifty jars. We enjoy apple-saucN
i'll May and June, and it will keep I'M

MABEL PAIGE IS COMING
HERE FOR Two nights
Engagement to Open Friday
Night Next

Americas play-gOers who remember
we'll the last appearance here of Ma
bel Paige are glad of the coming en-
gagement of that clever little actress,
who comes Friday for two nights and
Saturday matinee. While popular
prices will prevail, this production
is as good as many others here play
ing at higher prices.
Beginning her winter road tour No
vember / of this season, Miss Paige
has played throughout Florida, Georgia
and Alabama, to colume of business
and to need Of praise and common
dation that have far surpassed any
previous tour she has made. In Mont
gomery, Ala, where for a week, be-
ginning January 16, she presented a
Bachelors Honeymoon for the entire
week, she played to the largest weeks
receipts at popular prices in the his
tory of that city.
So pronounced was her success that
her engagement was extended for
second week. Comparatively equal
success has been met with through
out the present tour and requests for
return dates are the invariable rule.
Except for the we'll won and well
deserved popularity or the actress her
self, the cause of this success lies
wholly in the merits of the produce
tons offered, and the management in,

investigate and criticise for themselves

no better show has ever been offered
at popular prices.
The scale of prices has been fixed
at 25c, SOC and - cents for night per-
formances, with bargain matinee prices
of 25c and soc. Seats are on sale

SCORES OF LOCAL PEOPLE
PRAISING ROOTJUICE
What One of Our Prominent Business
Men is Saying.

The Root Juice business is booming
at HoWell's drug store. Scores of peo-
pie from surrounding towns and
country are helping to swell the
crowds that are buying the truly Won
derful medicine that has done 50
much good for so many people cf
Americas and vicinity Over fifty peo-
pie have reported complete cures or
great benefits, and many of them have
suffered for years before taking Root
Juic. Its remarkable soothing, heal
ing and tonic properties seem to bena-
fit one from the very start Many Of
our most popular and reliable citizens
are enthusiastically praising the
great medicine. One of our prominent
business men told the reporter of this
article that while he did not wish his
name published, Root Juice has proved
a great blessing to him. He said: 4
have used but one bottle of Root Juice
but | would have more if | had to pay
fifty dollars a bottle for it. i was
bloated very much, but that has all
gone down. | was very nervous and
had severe rheumatic pains in differ
ent parts Of my body, but the pains
have ceased and l am no longer nerv-
Gus. l shall keep on taking the Juice
until | know the cure is permanent"
At this point they were fortunate in
getting the agency of the great medi-
cine, but it is selling so fast that it IS
doubtful that they have enough in
stock to accommodate the demand the
remainder of this week. Root Juice IS
sold for 81 a bottle, or three bottles for
$3.50.

DAWSON is PLANNING A
FAIR In OCTOBER
Americas Might Follow the
Example

Dawson, Ga, Feb. 27.-At a recent
meeting of the Library Association
here the matter of another county fair
this fall was put before the members
by the president of the association,
and it was decided by every member
for it at once.
1t is the object of the association to
get the people of the county thor
oughly interested in this matter.
The people from the country dis
tricts added greatly to the success of
the fair held last fall, and by mutual
work the members of the association
believe that the experience obtained
will enable them to make arrange
ments for the fair this fall more sue
cessfully.

DRESSING TABLE ORNAMENTS

The newest OF all articles for the
dressing table are of French metal,
which is really only a good silver gilt.
This French metal is only desirable in
the very simplest of designs and of the
best possible quality of metal. A Louis
XVI design, with its graceful wreaths.
is ever a favorite, but the still simpler
patterns of the time of the first empire
are even more generally preferred
This silver gilt is not attractive for
the dressing table unless each piece is
part of the one. Silver and ivory sets
are often made up of odd pieces col
lected at different times, but the
French metal pieces must be identical
in pattern and shape. In other words,
one of these new sets must be acquired
all at one time, While the sets of silver,
gold, tortoise shell, amber or ivory
can be collected bit by bit as gifts I'M
til the necessary articles are all re-
quired.
Once the brush and comb, the mir
rOr, buttonhook and other articles are
obtained it is well to stop there and
turn the attention toward collecting
the desk appurtenances or toward fill
ing the book shelves with volumes that
will be joy for all time, says the New
York Herald. Once it is known by
ones family and friends just what
girl is most anxious to possess, it will
be found astonishing how soon she
makes up her different sets for bureau
or writing table and how few useless
trifies she will have taking up valu-
able space in her room.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1911-02-28

But to return to the dressing table
Ivory with initials or monogram in
gold is more in vogue than has been
the case for many years, and really
there is nothing, not even excepting
silver, which looks so well and is so
really sensible. Particularly for a girl
where there are not many servants in
the household and she has to take per-
sonal care of her little room is ivory
rather than silver to be advised for
the dressing table. Silver brightly
polished is delightful, but silver dull,
half furnished, is unattractive, and TO
look well always silver should be
thoroughly cleaned at least once a
week. Nor is there often opportunity
to get this good hours or two hours
work into the busy week of the busy
girl of the twentieth century.
Tortoise shell with inlaid gold mon-
ogram is effective, but it is also decid-
eddy costly and is difficult to keep in
this climate with sudden temperature
changes. Ivory on the other hand is
durable if accorded any kind of care
and can always be kept in state of
cleanliness by wiping off daily with a
soft cloth.
If the bureau is at all a handsome
piece of furniture, it will be worth
while to have made for it a glass top
which is laid on over the pretty cover
of lace or silk With a glass top it is
an easy matter to keep the bureau al
ways free from dust and against the
glass the silver, ivory or tortoise shell
will all show up to their best.

A Convenient Knife Sharpener.

There is one very effective way of

and forth over the bottom a few times,
turning first one side, then the other

suit. Woman's Home Companion for

the victory goes to Jimmy Rice, the star

clouted the pill for two bases with a
man on second in the tenth inning, send

in their half OF the tenth, Rhodes, the
first man up, connected for a two-base
clout, and went to third on a passed
