Money for Americans.

Washington, Aug. "a. - Cash for
Americans in London. even though
they are unprovided with credit
papers, has been arranged by Ambas-
sador Page, according to his report to
the state department today. Those
having letters of credit now are get
ting specie. Provision for an indefi-
mite number of demands have been
made, Ambassador Page states, and
the steady stream of almost destitute
Americans pouring in from the con-
tjnent is promptly cared for.
The ambassador reports he is urg-
ing all Americans to leave for home.
Transportation is being arranged as
quickly as possible.
Rapidly with which all Americans
are being moved in European ports

seem improbable, in the opinion of Of
ficials here that it would be neces-
sary to send army transports being
fitted out at Newport News.

gentleman if all the eggs laid by Min
nesota hens last year were fried and
placed on top of one another they
would make a pile $500 miles high.
These eggs, placed end to end, would
reach all the way around the earth
with 5000 miles to spare.
There are 1000, 900 hens in Min

100000 eggs. The value OF the
eggs produced and sold and the fowls
raised and sold in Minnesota in 1913
was more than 15,OO00,OOO.

AMERICUS CHAUTAUQUA NEXT WEEK
Unusual Strong Program Has Been
Arranged, and 1t Will Be One OF
Big Events of the Year.

AMERICUS, May 14.-Chautau-
/ qua week, which opens in Americas
next Monday, is going to be bic
event in the calendar of Southwest
Georgia this year. Preparations have
been completed that insure the larg-
est attendance at this session that
| has ever gathered at a similar chau-
tauqua.
The Redpath company, who made
such a hit with their program last
spring, will again be in charge, and
their advance agent makes positive
statement that the chautauqua this
year will be better than ever before.
Kryls Band, the Dunbar Bell Ring
ers, the Ben Greet Players in
Twelfth Night" and other head
line numbers are on the program.
A feature that has already aroused
interest is the announcement of
Americas merchants that they stand
ready to pay the railroad fare of any
one that wishes to attend the chau-
tauqua In this issue of The News
appears a full page advertisement
that gives the rules thet govern the
Merchants Transportation AssOcia-
ton during chautauqua week, or
Trade Week" as the merchants
have decided to call it.
Anyone that wishes to attend the
chautauqua can have their round
trip fare paid by these merchants
and at the came time take advantage
of attractive bargains that will be
offered them by the stores of the
city.
Americas is the logical trade CEN
ter of Southwest Georgia and she
wants a chance to show her friends
of the surrounding counties how
much she values their trade. Read
the advertisement in this issue of
The News and then make your plans
to attend the chautauqua. Come
to Americas and enjoy yourself at
the same time you are profiting.

Noise Inventors.

II is strange to think that there
are noise inventors, but, then, the
truth is always strange.
The noise inyenor's task is the
invention of new shrieks and walls
for automobile horns. The automo-
bile horn, says a contemporary COM
menting on this new occupation
should act like a hammer blow on
the head. 1t should make the foot
passenger jump, as a smart hammer
bIow would do. 1t should make him
look in a frenzy of terror to see
whence the noise came, just as he
would look to see who had hit him
with the hammer. 1t should make
him run like a rabbit out OF the
automobiles way, even as he would
run out of the way of the hammer
that had struck him.
The automobile horn does all these
things, but it only does them so long
as its sound is new and strange. Its
long, siren-like clank-clank, as of
rusty iron scraping rusty iron, no
longer does them. What does them
now is a very powerful, very sudden
honk-honk, as Of a giant blowing
bass horn. But this new noise, like
the others, will soon grow familiar,
and once it is familiar its hammer
like quality will disappear.
So noise inventors study the squeal
of pigs, the bray of donkeys and the
cry of the seal. They visit boiler fac
tories and sawmills in their search
for ideas. They frequent slaughter
houses.
And it is not enough for them to
find a new noise-they must repro
duce it in horn. Theirs, indeed, is
no easy task.
Scientists say that a good, efficient
noise. such as the noise inventor turns
out. not only seems to act like a
hammer blow, but really does so. 1t
e&hausts the nerves and the brain.
1t is, indeed, the chief cause of the
terrible modern malady OF neuras-
thenia.
So the noise inventor, it seems, is
not an unmiXed blessing. Neyerthe
less he is here to stay. For without
him how can the speeding AUTOMOBILE
list make the foot passenger blench,
leap foot in the air, and then scurry
like the wind out of harms way to
the sidewalk?

Educated Farmers.

The results of a series of investi-
cations in the corn belt of the three
representative areas in Indiana, Hi
nois and Iowa, contained in an agri-
cultural department bulletin just
made public, farmers with a high
school education make nearly double
the average income OF those without
education.
This Investigation. says the bull
letin, seems TO show that farmers
who have a little common schooling
succeed, but that these same men
would do better if they had had an
opportunity to further training
Those men having the best training
made the largest incomes, although
they were materially helped in dOins
TINS by much larger farms and great
er capital Investigation also tends
10 establish that those who start ear
nest on the farm make the mos

Defied SuffragetteS'

The suffragettes, in their cam
paign for the ballot, are getting no
aid or comfort from Senator w. S.
West. According to a Washington
dispatch he and Senator Weeks, of
Massachusetts, were the only sena-
tors who displayed the badge of the
ants, a red, red rose when the
suffragettes of the country had pa
rade at the national capital a few
days ago. One woman, who claimed
Georgia as her residence, sent in for
Senator West, but he refused to come
out of the senate chamber. Later
she sent for Senator Smith, but when
he reached the door of the lobby she
had departed.
81 put this rose on thinking l
wouldn't be bothered, said Senator
West. 81 thought they'd give me
wide berth when they saw it, The
trouble about woman suffrage is that
most of those who vote are slum wo-
men; the best class of them won't go
to the polls. That's the trouble we
have now, that of getting the good
substantial people to the polls

A Social Pauper.

A man thirty years of age has filed
bill in New York for an allowance
Of $4,000 annually from the estate
Of an insane aunt, His mother en-
joys an income of $4,000 This son
is supported by her, but the sum he
received at her hands is not sufficient
for him to maintain himself in the
way he desires, for he pleaded that if
not given the additional allowance he
would have to give up his member
ship in ten or twelve clubs to which
he belongs, cut down the standard
of his entertainments, give up his
automobile, and last, but not least,
forego the chance of marrying.
This idler and social pauper, who
contributes nothing of good or use
fulness to the world, has been de-
MED his application by the court.
Here is a young man who has
youth and opportunity and sufficient
means to give him a good start in
life, yet he is a miserable pauper to
society. He is worthless and shift
less, and it would be a crime for him
to marry any woman. He is probably
dependent because he has been
taught to be that way. He not only
invites but he deserves the contempt
of every seIf-respecting man and wo-
man.
