AMERICUS PARTY
HAD EXPERIENCE
MEXICAN WATERS
TOSSED BY MOUNTAIN WAVES
Bold Fishermen Spent Weary
Day on High Sea

Alderman Thomas L. Bell, City En-
gineer John L. Ansley, E. B. Everett,
R. A. Shy, T. NJ. Everett, Thad B.
Glover, George w. Walter, Edwin Ey-
erett, Jr., Sim Carter, Harrison and
Douglas Walters, constituted valiant
party of Americus disciples of IzaaK
Walton returning yesterday from the
Gulf of Mexico, where they fshed
several days and enjoyed" a sail Of
thirty miles out to sea aboard a nap
tha launch to the famed red-snapper
banks.
Red snapper fishing is the acme of
sport, but this Americus aggregation
will go no more after red snappers.
The end of log in Muckalee creek,
angling for red-eyes or pollywogs, is
more to their taste sportorial.
To Messrs. Ansley and Glover, old
salts both of them, it was great, the
red snapper fishing, but Bob Shy turns
pale even now at the narrowing
thought, and will not even walk near
an Americus mullet stand.
Thirty miles out at sea aboard
little naptha launch, with sharks as
long as fence rails racing with the
beat and looking up hungrily at AL
derman Bell and Marvin Everette, the
fattest of the flock, conjured uD
thoughts of home and the prayerful
wish of the sailors bold that all were
again on terra frma.
The little craft would shoot up
twenty feet borne aloft by monster
wave and then apparently sink in the
trough of the sea. Ten heads went
over the gunwales of the launch, and
ten breakfasts went even further. Bob
Shy was not dead, but he only wished
he was for the time being. Filled with
emotion and nothing more substantial,
he beckoned the skipper and said in
whisper:
"Old man, l will give you all the
money in the world if you put me
back where you got me this morning"
But the skipper only laughed, and
turned his wheel again.
Alderman Bell made his will on the
back of menu card, swiped from the
dining room of the hotel ashore; while
others of the party sent farewell mes
sages by the captain to loved ones in
Americus. Hours of awful agony were
thus endured, as it was a four hours
trip to the snapper banks and a
month, seemingly, before the party
got back to the sandy shores of Flor
ida.
1t was a risky trip, somewhat, that
distance out at sea in a small boat, but
fortune favored them and no sudden
squall upset their craft. Col. Ever
EFT says his next trip to sea will be
aboard battlesbtp or steamer, but
nothing smaller.

FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE

The stork disappears and we look into the cradle and behold a male child. After running the gauntlet of measles, humps and chickenpox, he enters school. Al the age of 10 he is redheaded, freckle- faced boy and the terror of the neighborhood. At 12 he is an apprentice in a printing office. At IS he has acquired two cases of long primer and an army press and is the editor of country newspaper. At 20 he is married. At 30 he is baldheaded, stoop- shouldered and the father of a large family. At s5 he is a corpse in cheap pine coffin, and as 500 delinquent subscribers file past his bier for the last look they are heard to say; "He was a good fellow but he couldn't save his money"

Council Minutes
(Continued from page two)

order that the pavement be laid its correct position, this will require searching the records and making Ia survey; while the second step is to make profiles, by actual survey, of the streets to be paved and enough of the intersecting streets to determine the proper grades. These two steps will also take in the locating of all water mains, sewers, conduits, etc., so that those utilities will be properly cared for in the work. While these surveys are being made the laws of the State the City and County Ordinances should be studied to see what fi- nancial plan the work shall be done under, and what rules and Ordinances are to be incorporated !, in the contracts and specifications. A study should also be made of the available material, their strength and durability, and their cost on the work. The kind and amount of traffic to which the streets will be subjected. This study would show what class of pavement would be the most de- sirable and the most practical for the amount of money available. The above steps being properly taken and the kind of pavement decided on, the specifications can be written, bids called for and the contracts awarded after which it is simply a case of following out a definite plan until the work lis completed and the streets opened for traffic. Each and every step is absolutely necessary, and ol equal importance, if the improve. ment is to be durable and cheap. My experience has been tha, the cost of the preliminary engin. eering, up to the time of letting the contracts runs from two to three per cent of the cost of the work and from then to comple. ton a like amount or a total ol from four to six per cent of the total cost of the job. The greater amount of paving done, the less percentage of cost of the engineer ing work.
 My charges for such work are as follows:
 Engineer in charge of party $1o per day.
 Chairman s per day.
 Axeman $2.5o per day. Rodman $2.5o per day. Draftman $Io per day. Computers from $8 to $1o per day.

What is Your Baby Worth?

what IS Tour Baby Worth!
 Not long ago a little child dis appeared from the home of we'll to do eastern family. The tather offered ten thousand dollars for the child's return. A few days later, in the heart of New York's Little Italy, the son of a strug- gling shopkeeper was kidnapped. Its father, who accumulated a small capital by living on bread and macaroni and working fifteen hours day, seven days in the week, offered one thousand dollars for the return of the child.
 Was one baby worth ten thous- and to its father, and the other one thousand? No! The baby was worth just every dollar the father could rake and scrape to- gether.
 That is the answer every father would make. My baby is worth everything 1 have in the world. " And mother would agree with him.
 Yet, isn't it strange that par. ents who will pay all they possess as a ransom to kidnappers, do not realize that they are taking bigge, chances of losing their babies because they do not know the best ways for the care and feeding ot their children?
 The officials of the Arizona State Fair will have remarkable feature on the fair grounds this year "a Better Babies Contest which will not only prove how much babies are worth to theil parents and the community anc the nation, but how better race of babies can be insured. The Better Babies Contest is scien tifc medical examination of chil dren under five years of age, fol physical and mental development The judges are physicians who pass on the baby's condition Sturdy limbs. firm flesh, steady nerves, good digestion, these anc not pink cheeks, soft hair ant dimples, make a better baby and ; prize winner. Such baby is o incalcuable value to parents ant the country, for a healthy, norma baby means healthy desirabl' citizen.
 If you think your baby is il this class, write to Mrs. J. C Norton the Superintendent of th' Better Babies Contest, for infor nation about this splendid con test. If your baby is up to thu standard, it will win prize, ane even if it does not win prize, i will be given certificate of ex animation, showing that it na' joined the ranks of the Bette Babies and is going to be the bes baby next year.
 In addition to the contest anc the interesting examination of tht babies, the fair officials will dis tribute free literhture on the care and feeding of babies and there will be a Better Babies Healtf Exhibit which will interest al parents, whether they enter babies or not.
