Wheat Closed 3 So to 37-8C
Higher Corn and Oats Upi
Pork, Lard and Sides Off

CHICAGO, July 2f.-Wheat prices went up
with a rush today, jumps in some cases amount
ing to 4R@%c advance. Sensational crop
damage reports from the black rust region in
northwest formed the principal reason. Com
mission house buying was general, with Of
ferings scarce. Opening quotations, which rang
ed from 1h61I to Az &c higher, fol-
lowed by some reactions from initial top
figures with the market steadying at an average
advance of 8 cents compared with yCster-
days close. Opening prices for September
We're 1.21 to 1.24h and 1.24h @1.27 for De-
cember.
Trade in wheat was in large volume and the
highest quotations Of the day were also the
topmost Of the session. Values closed unsettled,
3s m4c net higher with September at $1.23A a
1.23& and December at $1.26&
Dry weather gave strength 10 corn. Some
reports that the crop firing wer9 received.
After opening Y tc lac higher, the market
scored slight additional gains.
Corn closed nervous at &q1c net advance.
Oats like corn showed only a moderate de-
gree Of frmness. The contrast with the ex-
IRENE bulge IN wheat was especially noticeable.
Provisions were comparatively neglected.
Values did rot change to any significant de-
gree.

AMER|CUS HI WINS
THE FIRST BATTLE

The ball tossers who represent the
Americus High school returned FRI
day night from Ellaville where they
had poor afternoons sport Friday.
The locals completely out classed the
boys of the Ellaville High school and
when the dust had cleared, the offic-
ial scorer announced that as far as he
could determine, Americus had scored
twenty-one runs, while Ellaville had
succeeded in tallying twice.
The Americus boys, as the score in
dicates, handled the willow carelessly,
and kept the Schley county boys
chasing over the fence for homers.
Mathis and Webb were the fence
busters for the Americus nine, each
securing a home run, and these two
were guilty also of causing the Ella
vile pitchers quite fey pangs of
regret that they had ever taken up
ball pitching as a pastime. Johnson
was on the mound for the local High
school nine and he took advantage of
the big score and held his stuff in re-
serve.
At the end of the seventh inning
Ellaville announced that they /
enough and the umpire kindly consent
ed to stop the torture.

LARGEST GARAGE IN
ALL GEORGIA BEING
BUILT IN THE CITY

Dirt has been broken, and work ac-
tually begun on the new garage being
built by the Americus Automobile
Company
The building will be a three-story
brick building fronting Lamar street
so feet running back 125 feet, the
site directly across the street from
the present headquarters of the com
pany. The front windows will be of
plate glass, as will also the side front,
Gu the 16 foot alley between the build
ing and the Holt building.
The shop will be supplied with all
the latest up-to-date machinery, with
expert machinists as they now have,
vulcanizing, painting and trimming
shop; electric elevators to the top
story, and all machines will be drivea
by electricity. Office and show rooms
will be 40 rs feet. Well supplied
with windows all over the building
will make the ventilation perfect and
when completed will be the largesc
garage in Georgia as well as the best
equipped.
The plans for the building were
drawn by Architect Lockwood. Work
has already started and the building
will be ready for occupancy by Sep
tember 1st.
Arthur Rylander, president of the
Americus Automobile Company, has
found it necessary to have a larger
building, and while he is building de-
cided to build one that would not
only meet the demands of his business
for the present but for sometime to
come.

.ELKS BUSY WITH
FOR GREAT
CONVENTION NOW

The Executive committee of the
Elks' convention will meet on Monday
afternoon at o'clock for the purpose
Of going over some important mat
ters connected with the convention
AS the date for the convention draws
near, this committee will have its
hands full. Letters are coming ia
Convention Secretary Hyman giving
the assurance that a record breaking
crowd will be here on that occasion.
Official notice comes in that Colum-
bus lodge has appointed Miss Gertrude
Joseph as sponsor for their lodge. The
same letter says that Columbus is get
ting more and more enthusiastic over
the convention every day, and those
that cannot come in their private cars
VIII SOAIS OfSI VII the SSCOuu udy
April 2Sth, by auto, and the letter
says the whole city is coming.
A letter from John w. Blount, Sec
retary of the Macon lodge, says that
there is possibility of their lodge
sending big delegation and bringing
the Macon Drum and Bugle corps
This will be fine.
1t is surprising fact that many
homes are being offered to take care
Of the great crowd. 1t is we'll to bear
ill mind that the housekeepers should
not go to a single dollars expense, bu.
gely upon taking some of the delegates
without any expense at all. If You
go ahead and spend any money to
take them, you will not clear any, and
lit is a warning to the good women
VINO VIII help us to take care of the
convention, that they should do what
they could without mourning expense
On Monday and Tuesday the five
thousand invitations will go out al
over the state of Georgia and each
Elk will receive one for the names oi
all members have been received in the
office of the secretary. This is fine
advertising for Americus. Think oi
the railroad depots all over the state
having cloth banner hanging in theiI
places for nearly a month advertising
Americus and what she has to offer
for this convention.

Of.
To MAKE
CITY BEAUTIFUL

The ladies of Americus will assem-
BILE in a meeting on Monday afternoon
at 4:3O o'clock for the purpose OF
forming a Woman's Improvement
commission that will be an adjunct to
the Chamber of Commerce.
The ladies will talk the matter over
on Monday and officers will be elected
ard other matters taken up.
In nearly every city where they
have Chamber of Commerce or other
business organization, there will be
found Woman's Civic club connected,
for there is a certain amount of "City
Beautiful" work that must be handled
and carried out by the ladies.
One of the first Things tat will be
taken up will be the Identification Of
the Dixie Highway" along it's line
through Sumter county. In many of
the other counties where this highway
runs, the women have taken the mat
ter up and have done noble work along
this line.
The ladies will join in the movement
to secure city park that shall be in
keeping with the beauty of the city.
Many of our ladies will come to the
meeting with suggestions that have
come under their attention, and which
suggestions are for the good of Amer
icus. When they take up the work in
earnest and have a year or two Of
careful planning, our citizens can look
for a really beautiful city, full to over
flowing with flowers and beautiful
shrubs.
