heavy losses on the Teutonic pursuers,

HUNTERS HERE
PREPARING FOR
CUNNING STUNT
BIRD SHOOTING PROMISES FINE
THIS FALL.

Americus sportsmen, with these frs
days of cooler weather, are looking
forward to the fall shooting season
and declare that game has never been
more abundant.
Just now they can shoot nothing but
squirrels, but partridge time is COM
ing on, and the Sumter birds will be
abundant
The following are the "open sea
sons for game birds and animals In
Georgia:
Quail, commonly known as Bob
White or partridges; doves, wild tur-
key gobblers and plovers, from No
vember 20 to March l.
Woodcock, summer or wood duck
December l to January 1.
Deer, October l to December /.
Cat squirrels, August l to January L
Migratory ducks, September / to
April 20.
The Georgia law gives its sports
men the right to kill migratory ducks
from September 1st to April 10th, but
the federal law says that the open
season shall only be from November
goth to February 18th
However, as the federal game laws
conflict with the Georgia laws, the
enforcement of Uncle Sans rules is
scarcely expected.

cattle tick cost the United States ap-
proximately $90,00O,O0O and during the
past year, according to estimates BY

A circular has just been issued by
Secretary Houston, advising all stock
interests that the eradication of the
tick is essential to the development OF

.RET|C|ENCE MARKS
MEET Of GIBBONS
AND THE PRESIDENT
CARDINAL SAYS PRESIDENT EN-
PRESSED SATISFACTION OVER
POPE'S COMMUNICATION = NO
STATEMENT IS FORTHCOMING
FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 3.-The
details of what transpired at the con-
ference between President Wilson and
Cardinal Gibbons yesterday are still:
lacking, but the incident has caused
widespread discussion.
The cardinal delivered a message
from the Pope which is known to
have praised the president for his
stand on peace
The Pope's message will not be
made public by the United States. Il
is learned that the United States will
not make any further efforts to bring
about peace in Europe until it is as
sured that its good offices would be
welcomed by both sides.
Because of the vatican,s close touch
with the Austrian officials, the view
has been taken that the Pope's mes
sage means that Germany and her al
lies are ready to discuss peace at any
time.
Similr word would have to come
from the other side of the conflict be-
fore President Wilson would act.

WORKING GIRLS WRITE
OF WAGE CONDITIONS
Investigators Get Interesting Facts
in Regard to Employees in
Stores and Shops.

NEW YORK, January 9.-Letters from
girls employed in stores and shops de-
scribing their wage conditions We're read
today before the state factory investi-
eating commission which is holding hear
ings on the advisabhity Of establishing
minimum wages for women and minors.
One girl wrote:
II am Il clerk in one of the stores
which give 100000 to charity at a time
have been working three years and
never got an increase"
Another girl wrote:
Il am without father, mother or brother
to give me helping hand, and am living
81 for lunch and carfares. and have one
whole dollar left to dress and keep up
appearances"
Rome G. Brown of Minneapolis, who
recently argued before the United States
Supreme Court against the Minnesota
wage law, testified that low wages were
not responsible for immortality among
working girls. He held that immortality
was due solely to individual character.
1t was announced that Louis d. Brandeis,
Supreme Court, would be called by the
commission January %.
Denounces the Reformers.
Mrs Maud Flowerton, who said she
represented the better class of store
girls" created a stir when she denounced
''so-called reformers, economists and
sociologists for shouting about immortality
among saleswomen.'
The better class of salcswomen,' she
said, "are pretty hot because of the
criticism of them, and the talk about
immortality and all that sort of thing.
These so-called social workers who make
breaks about the poor down-trodden shop
girl mostly don't know what they are
talking about. Such talk has very bad
moral effect
The witness said she was opposed TO a
minimum wage law, because it would
mean that third OF the girls now EN-
ployed would be thrown out of work 1t
was only stockroom girls who were paid
j'$6 a week, and they were not worth more,
she said.

mouth, N. H., Navy Yard.

Carrying out his policy of appointing
constructors and engineers, exempt
from sea service, to commands in navy
yards, because they may remain on
their jobs for indefinite periods, like
civilian experts i'll factories, Secretary
Daniels has designated Naval Con-
structor L. S. Adams as industrial man
ager at the Portsmouth, N. H, navy
yard The commandant of the yard
will retain command of all military
features while the industrial manager
will take the direct charge of the work
in the yard.
Constructor Adams will build at
Portsmouth submarine LIS, the first
vessel of the kind to be built at any
navy yard. In that vessel and in sub
marine E-2 will be installed for the
first time the new Edison storage bat

be much more efficient and safer than
the present type of storage battery.
