Every citizen who has registered is

III . bonds is very strong, but unless
eye"y vvltI who f;;vors bonds casts
his vote for them, he is virtually IL
posing the bond issue.
If you stay at home it means that
you help defeat the bond issue. There
are $40 registered voters on the list.
Of this number BAT votes must be cast
in favor of bonds in order to insure
their passage. 1t isn't even necessary
for the votes against bonds to be cast
in order to make them effective, but
it is necessary that every one of the
347 votes be cast in behalf of bonds to
give the city better water and sewer
age facilities.
Below Will be found a summary of
the reasons why Americus needs the
bond issue, as they have been advanc-
ed by the Mayor, Board of Aldermen,
and Board of Trade:
Mayor J. E. Mathis.
Before and since my election
have favored all things of convenience,
comfort, health and beauty for Ameri-
Gus.
IF councilmen will vote as they talk
and write, this year will see paved
streets, extended sewerage, a copious
water supply and better fire equip
ment If these things are accomplish
ed, the end of this decade will show
Americas going ahead
Alderman Lee Allen.

Aid. Allen. "My acts in Council have
been public and they tell the people

necessary for me to say"
Alderman Allen has always favore
public improvements of every charac-
ter, so there is no doubt as to where he
stands on the matters of paving, water
and seWersg.
Alderman J. S. Bolton.
81 am unequivocably in favor of is
suing the bonds voted four years ago
and paving the business section of the
city.
4 am equally as strongly in favor Of
voting the bond issue for additional
seewrage and more water. We need
both and we should have them

kind, and especially of improvements
of this character that mean so much
for the future development of the city.
THE business section should be

the general progress of Georgia cit

necessities of a growing city. / be-
lieve in all three and l hope to see
all three of them under way at an
early date"
Alderman W. E. Brown.
Alderman Brown is unquiyocally in
favor of all three bond issues. As he
views it, the city should have and Will

MEETING OF
The BOWLERS
Preliminary concIave Held Last Ev-
enlns for the Purpose Of DIS
GUSHING Plans for the
Coming Season.
NEW TEAMS WANT IN
Another Meeting viii be Held Next
Tuesday Evening for the Purpose
of EffectIns the
Reorganization.

Keokuk bowlers met at the Keokuk
club last night to discuss plans for
the coming season and meeting will
be held next Tuesday evening for tne
purpose Of reorganizing the Keokuk
Bowling Association.
The attendance last evening was
not very large one, but what was
lost in number was made up in en-
thusiasm. There was some talk OF
forming new organization, but those
present decided It would be better to
continue the old one. For the purpose
of working up interest in the meeting
next week a committee composed OF
Perdew Sheldon, Elmer Mas and
Clarence Powell was appointed.
Whether all of the old members of
the association will come back into
the fold is not known at the present
time and the committee was instruct
ed to make canvass for the purpose
of finding out. Last year the league
was composed of eight clubs and 1t
is believed this number can be retain
ed. Three new clubs are seeking ad-
mission. They are Stadler's a team
to represent Frank Moeller, the cigar
dealer, and Company L.
Just what strength George LOOMS
will carry with his opposition league
Is not known. The Olympia proprietor
is seeking to organize league OF his
own for the purpose Of stimulating In
terest on his own alleys. The city
will not support two first class bowl
ing leagues and one is certain to fall
through. The general opinion Is that
Mr.. LOOMS will be prevailed upon to
give up his idea of private league
and again join the ranks Of the Keo>
kuk Bowling Association. He is one
of the greatest enthusiasts in the city
and his undivided support is greatly
desired.
The Keokuk club will again enter
la team. The alleys at this club have
not yet been opened for the winter,
but with the permanent cool weather
the opening soon will be held.

Done Simply by Heat

This is how milk is made utterly sterile At ali

In the hrs. place the dairies sanitary. The
cows are inspected. Cleanliness is carried to
extremes.
The milk is all tested. Then, while fresh from
the cows, it is put in a copper vacuum. There,
without scalding the milk, we evaporate two
thirds Of the water.
Then the milk is scaled up in cans. Then each
can is pasteurized by heat. The milk then is
utterly Enthusiastically free from germs.
