GRAPHIC CARRIERS
 ENJOY ANNUAL PICNIC
Sixteen Spend Bay at Atkins Lake Eating, Drinking (Soda), Swim.
 ming, as Papers Guests.

The sixteen carrier boys of The Graphic enjoyed their annual picnic yesterday at Atkins lake.
 It was big day for the lads, as might easily be imagined. To spend an entire day under such conditions, is always an event, not alone to a bunch of husky, active, lively and en- 'thusiastic boys, but also to the elder element of the male kind, and the day was thoroughly enjoyed.
 . Swimming, baseball, fishing. and other outdoor sports were enjoyed throughout the day, and in the late afternoon the entire party drove back to town, delighted but tired-or, so tired. Muscles were sore-and they'll be sorer this morning-and bodies were red from the rays of the sun. but it was a great day, all right.

PRESIDENT VIRGINIA
POLYTECHNIC FLAYs
PRESENT EDUCATION
(BS Associated Press.)

MUSKOGE, Okla, April 27.-Dr. j.
d. Eggleston, president or the vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute, told the
Southern Commercial Congress here
last night that ninety-seven out of
every hundred school children "go
forth into life unable to apply their
so-called education TO the immediate
problem of making a living, the prob,
lem that Immediately confronts them"
"A purely academic course of study
the kind we now have" said the
dictor, causes the school to become
an active emigration bureau and either
depopulates the community or keeps
it at the least, at standstill."
Year after year, he declared, educa,
tors with the assent of parents, force
children to go to school an acquire
arithmetics and adenoids, history and
hookworm, algebra and astigmatism
cube root and consumption, Caesar and
spinal curvature"
The speaker said manual training
could be started with "a boy a broom
handle and knife" and that popular
cooperation with the demonstration
and extension work now in the hands
of the agricultural colleges would
make farming communities blossom
like the rose"
He urged that every city, town and
village have school systems by which
young and old, men and women, might
not only learn to read write and fig
ure, but to improve and perfect them
selves in whatever line of work they
choose for a living.

(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 27.-An official COM

quarters, dated April 26th, says that
the Belgian army on the twenty-fifth
won an important victory from the
Germans south of Dixmude. The sep
arate advances on the part of the
Germans were repulsed with heavy
losses to the Kaiser's troops. AsphyX-
iating bombs were used during the
engagement.
On the following day the Germans
with the aid of their artillery began
an active offensive, but the Belgiane
were successful in their efforts to re-
pulse them. During the day the Bel
gian troops under the leadership OF
their king aided the French who re-
captured Lizerne. Lizerne had been

AMER|CUS MAY
INVITE DIOCESE
CONVEN T|ON 1916
NATTER CONSIDERED WITH FAV-
OR BY CALVARY CHURCH
HERE

That the next annual session Of
the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia will
be invited to assemble in Americus
seems foregone conclusion, as the
subject has recently been discussed at
length by members of the local parish,
and there seems a very general desire
that this prominent body of church
men be invited here a year hence. The
1915 diocesan convention will shortly
assemble in Savannah, headquarters
of the diocese and home of the Rt
Rev. F. F. Reese, bishop of Georgia,
and the invitation to hold the 1915
convention here will, no doabt, be ex-
tended at that occasion. Americus was
host to the convention some six years
ago, and the occasion is still recalled
with great deal of pleasure by the
people of Americas generally, as well
as by the parish members.

WITH ALL OF THEM AND MAKE

POLICY.
England, Austria, Germany and France
win Have Representatives There
Russia Gives Proxy to Ambassador.

ROME, April 27.-Italy has invited
representatives of the warning nations
to meet in Rome to discuss with the
Italian officials terms of peace and
the likelihood of Italy joining in the
war.
London, Paris, Vienna and Berlin
have already signified their intentions
Of having special representatives at
the meeting. Because of the distance
to be Travelled and the dangers to be
encountered, Russia will not send
special representative, but will in
struct the Russian ambassador to
Rome to act for his country.
Italy has been on the fence for
months now and a declaration Of war
on her part has been expected momen-
tarily. But the little kingdom has
maintained the strictest neutrality. At
the outbreak of hostilities Italy made
certain demands on Austria and threat
ened to join the Allies unless her de-
mands were met by Francis Joseph. So
far, Austria has refused to comply
with these demands for additional ter
ritory.
1t is believed here by those in touch
with the situation that Italy is pre-
pairing to make final demand ON the
representatives of Austria and Ger
many, and that unless they comply
Italy will throw her hat into the ring
with the Allies.

MUSKOGEE, Okla, April 27.-Dr.
Bradford Knapp, head of the farmers
cooperative division of the federal de-
partment of agriculture, was the chief
speaker today at the Southern Com
mercial congress, in session here. DR..
Knapp told the delegates to this great
gathering that the United States, anil
especially the South, must look to the
farmers of the country for future de-
velopment.
DR.. Knapp, who has made careful
study of farming and marketing con-
ditions, advocated cash market for
every community, where the farmer
could get cash for every article pro-
duced on his farm.
You fnanciers from Dixie can't ex-
pect farmers to break loose from cot.
ton and plant wheat when you refuse
to give them anything for their wheat.
The bankers and merchants must pro.
vide cash market for grain, cattle
and produce of every kind produced
locally" he said.
