the daintiest of materials for the nee
essary and typical summer frock. jap
anese and Dolly Warden motifs, some
of them slightly raised, are the designs
most generally noted; they are youth
full and pleasing. The printed taffetas
show these same figures on darker
grounds and are especially favored for
afternoon frocks.
Bordered materials are also used
considerably; In fact, any fabric that
in sheer and transparent Is modish.
In the one-piece gowns the flare is
noticed at the hips; on many Of the
new imported models this is brought
about by pulled or draped arrange

AMERICUS Will SEND DELEGATES
TO ATLANTA GOOD ROADS CONGRESS

Mayor Lowry, Of Americas, has been
requested by Hon. A. B. Fletcher, Pres
ident of the Fourth American Road
Congress and State Highway Engineer
of California, to name three delegates
to attend the session of the Congress at
Atlanta, Georgia during the week Of
November 9Th.
Forty-seyen great organizations are
taking part in the Congress under the
leadership of the American Highway
Association and the American Automo-
bile Association. In his letter to the
Mayor, President Fletcher calls atten-
ton to the fact that practically every
state highway commissioner will be
present and take part in discussing
the important problems Of road con-
struction and maintenance, and that
some OF the foremost men in public
life will devote their attention to the
great question of Federal Aid to road
improvement, in an endeavor to work
out policy which may be submitted
to the Congress of the United States
with the support of the organized road
movement of America. An important
move bearing upon state legislation
will be made at he session to be held
under the auspices of the American
Bar Association, at which a joint COM
mittee, appointed at the 1913 Congress,

Thanking you for the support and

demand; for what we did not produce
and must, necessarily buy, war prices
are demanded
Cotton is a drug upon the market.
We buy nearly all of our meat for the
farm and for Americas tables as well.
yet the meat trust has advanced the
prices to figures never reached before.
The situation is aptly expressed in
an able article by Mr.. w. T. Anderson
in the Macon Telegraph, which is re-
produced herewith and with the hone
that good will result to our people
from the fearful object lesson shown:
"If We Could Eat Cotton"
1t is poor time to say, q told you
So" 1t was about fifteen years ago
hat the lamented Mr.. Pendleton took
up the work through The Telegraph
Of trying to induce Georgia faremrs to
grow their own feedstuffs. Ons thous-
and dollars in Good American gold was
distributed as prizes for best yields of
wheat, and every one was convinced
that Georgia could grow wheat profit
ably.
But how well that advice was heed
ed is demonstrated by the statistics
showing that Georgia bought $172,-
100000 worth of feedstuffs in 1911, and
sold her entire cotton crop for $140,-
100000. That's what you call max
ing progress backward.
Suppose Georgia's corn bins We're
! full, and her smoke-houses strung
with old-fashioned Georgia cured hams
and shoulders? What would Georgia
care how long they fought in Europe
But now we must sell cotton to pay
for our $4,000, 5000 worth of feed we
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-08-18


We are going to get out of the pres
ent difficulties. But how many farm
ers have made the resolution that they
will never again be caught with moth
ing to eat?
1t is said that farmers are compelled
to grow cotton, because the supply
man will not lend them any money ex-
cept on contract to grow so many
bales of cotton. This is a lame excuse
in anybody's mouth. 1t is the excuse
of the man who is satisfied to get
along; it is the refuge OF the man
who is proud to say at the
end of his crop year, 4 think it vii
pay out"
1t is the apology of the man who
willing to take his children out Of
school and put them in the cotton field
without a dollar for their labor, 70
have his wife do the drudgery from
daylight until long after he is snor-
ing.
The farmer who wants to overcome
this condition can do it. The city man
who succeeds counts no hours. On
rainy days he works harder than when
the sun shines. He yields to no OBJ
stacles He wins by the rule of "1
will" The farmer who now finds him
self loaded with all cotton and nom
ing to eat is hoping prayerfully that
something will be done, by somebody
to pull him out of the hole.
The farmer who has for several
years made it a practice to produce a
surplus feed has $1.25 corn and 25c
bacon to sell to his neighbors, and this
farmer isn't very much worried about
selling his cotton the day he gets it
ginned. He can hold his cotton with
out help from the government or anv
one else. He is the master of his at
fairs and nobody's slave
1t would be great if we had a la "
putting farmers on the changing if
caught buying feed, and it would also
be great if we had another law putin :
the city man on the same Changing
if he is caught buying feed not grown
in Georgia. The wars a good thing if
we learn our lesson.

THIRTY DOLLARS A
YEAR FOR SODA WATER

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. lido you spend
$50 year on soda water? If you were
an Albanian you would, or you would
not bear your pro rata expense of
keeping the marble fountains going.
1t has long been known that Atlanta
was the greatest soda water city in
the world, but new figures prepared
by an expert supply dealer shows some
astounding facts. Atlanta spends five
million dollars a year on the fzzy
stuff. Her people pour one hundred
million glasses of soft drinks down
their threats annually, at an everage
of five cents per drink. If this were
put up in barrels it would take train
of cars thirteen miles long to bring it
to town.
If a soda fountain had been erected
when Captain John Smith was wooing
Priscilla and had been running u
hours a day ever since, Sundays in
cluded it would not yet have served
as many drinks as are passed over
Atlanta counters in one year.
