Here are some of the things find
it necessary to do to keep my feet in
good condition and l suggest them
for those who would have healthy
and beautiful feet.
Rub vaseline well into the feet be-
fore going on a long walk. It will
help prevent soreness and chatting.
Feet may be hardened by bathing
in cold water with plenty of soap suds
in it.
Toe nails always should be trimmed

.LEVEF: At NATCHEz
BREAKS AND FLOODS

NATCHEZ, Miss. Feb. 1.-two
additional breaks in the Mississippi
river leVee at the Limerick PLAN
tation, about twenty-five miles above
st. Joseph, La, on the Louisiana side
of the street, occurred today. Infor-
nation concerning the breaks reached
Natchez at noon, and many refugees
are already making their way toward
this city.
AS a result of today's breaks, three
and probably four parishes in Louis
lana will be flooded, and other points
in the levee are seriously endangered.
Tensas! Concordia, Line and Cata-
houl parishes lie directly in he path
of the escaping fiood-waters and hun
dreds of acres of lowlands there are
already covered. In Madison parish
there is considerable high, eround, bit
an immense area there will also be
flooded.
Profting by previous experience n
time of freshets many planters liy-
ing in the inundated districts had
remover their cattle and valuables to
places of safety before the levee gave
way, and because of these precautions
the property damage will be reduced to
minimum. Valuable rice crops, how
ever, have been utterly destroyed.

WESTERN FRONT
IS CENTER NEWS
FOR BIC TROUBLE

LONDON, Feb. 15.--Fighting along
the western front today still holds the
center of interest in the war news.
The French have succeeded in retak-
ing a portion of the advanced trenches
lost to the German February 18th, ac-
Cording to an official announcement
from Paris. This statement adds hat
German attacks in the Artoir and
Cham apngreegions are really all local
actions, attended only by insignificant
gains. In explaining the course of
operations in these localities, the
French statement declares the posi-
tions could easily be retaken, but mil
itary commanders have refrained from
attempting this, because the results
attained are not worth the price paid.
From Berlin comes a statement to
the effect that German guns have bad
bly, damaged the French works about
Belfort which have been under fire dur
ing two weeks. The bombardment has
been wholly at long range, and many
high explosive shells were used. There
is no information from Paris concern
irg Belfort.
Austrian aviators raided Monsea,
Italy, killing one civilian and injuring
five others. The raiders sustained nc
losses so far as is known here.
In German East Africa furious fight
Ing between Teuton troops stationed
there and force investing the Kais-
er's colony from the eBlgian posses
sions in that region The Belgians
ere fighting stubbornly, and the Ger
mans are being gradually pushed back
into their own territory. Both sides
lost heavily during tn erecent fighing
but no really decisive result has been
attained.
The British parliament reassembled
today and among the important legis-
iGiation to be considered soon is the
new war credit which will be asked by
the government.

SEVERAL ITEMS Of
INTEREST OF A.H.S.

The Americas High school is getting
everything in shape for publishing its
annual "The A-Meri-C Clan" and have
already put the financial affairs on a
firm basis. The seniors of the school
are now having their pictures taken
for the annual and at some time In
the near future the other classes will
have their pictures taken. Every mem
her of the graduating class is to pay
into the business department of the
annual three dollars and fifty cents,
and the willingness which they are
displaying in this is enough to almost
insure the success of the undertake
i1g.
The school is also busy at work
preparing for the big District High
school meet to be held at Cordele dur.
ing the latter part of April. and the
different classes are already preparing
Eor the schools exhibits. The practice
for the athletic events has not begun
yet, but Prof. Hoist, who will have
charge of the candidates, has announc-
ed that the boys will be called out for
work just as soon as the weather takes
some decided turn. But in the literary
contests the boys and girls are active
ly at work and they show the results
of much hard work since the last meet
held at Vienna.
The students are discussing the feas-
ibility of having special train take
them to Cordele and are already MAX
ing preparations to attend in a body.
They believe this is the best plan to
make the contestants for Americus do
their best for their town and their
school, and it is safe wager that
when the first event is called Americas
will be there in large numbers.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
RECORDED TO-DAY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. ia
very severe earthquake, the scene of
which had not been ascertained at Il
O'Clock this morning, was recorded
by the Georgetown university seism >

continued during approximately one
hour and the upheaval was the most
violent recorded in some time. 1t is
probable the quake occurred at sea.

10 MINERS DEAD
IN BIC COPPER FIRE

BUTTE, Mont, Feb 15.-At least ten
miners perished during fire which
was discovered last nigh in an airshaft
of the twelve hundred-foot level of the
the Pennsylvania mine, belonging to
the Anaconda Copper Company, near
here. The bodies of several of the
victims have been recovered, but these
are so terribly burned and blackened
until Identification is difficult.
Twelve or fourteen miners report
ed as missing at the companys' offices
this morning, are believed to have gone
to their homes without reporting their
escape. Messengers have been des
patched to ascertain their wherea-
bouts. 1t is possible three or four OF
these may have lost their lives in the
catastrophe, but it is believed at noon
that all escaped. A number of ami
rnals confined in the mine undoubtedly
perished
Early today the fire continued to
blaze fiercely, Notwithstanding efforts
to extinguish the flames. A large force
of workmen are engaged in the task
of subduing the flames, and entrances
to the mine are being closed to assist
in the work. The origin of the fire is
mysterious, and strict Investigation
into the affairs will be made by mine
officials, as incendiarism is feared. The
Arconda company has recently been
engaged in filling large orders for cop
rer placed by the Entente powers and
German agents are suspected Of being
connected with last nights catastro-
phe.

shot, was going at the rate of forty
miles an hour, passing cars at dan
gerous clip. When the automobile
reached Oak street, it swayed to the
left and two flashes were seen by spec
tators. Miss Eubanks dropped to the
ground, ten feet ahead of Howard
Green.
The car continued on it's way up Sec
cnd street at the same dangerous rate
it had approached the scene Of the
tragedy. Miss Eubanks was placed in
the caar of E. L. Gostin, an eyewitness
who was following the car Of the as
sassin, and carried to the hospital. She
died before that place was reached, in
the arms of Officer E. 7. Robe, without
having uttered word. She was un-
conscious after he bullet penetrated
her heart.
When the young woman met her
death she was in front of an apartment
house at S12 Second street Just ct
this point the lights on the two neigh
boring corners are shut off from view
by trees and those who witnessed tae
tragedy saw the two flashes of the gun
hut we're unable to tell whether the
person who fired the shots was white
or black; and they so reported to the
officers.

POLICE SEARCH FOR
MAN SAID To Be
CONNECTICUT PLOT

CHICAGO, LIS, Feb. 15.-The police
Of Chicago and neighboring cities to-
day continued the search for Jean
Crones, assistant chef at the University
of Chicago club, who is wanted on SER
icus charges. The authorities now
believe Crones is at the head of one
of the most extensive bomb plots yet
upearthed in this country, the ramifica-
tIons of which are believed to have ex~
tended as far south as Nashville,
Tenn.
Crone's arrest is sought on the direct
charge Of having placed arsenic in
soup served more than a hundred
guests at a banquet rendered Arch
bishop Mundelin, at the University
club, Thursday night the act having
resulted in nearly all of the guests be-
ing made seriously i'll. No deaths have
yet occurred. Following the illness Of
SO many guests, Crones disappeared
and search of his apartments re-
vealed startling information.
AS a result of their discoveries, Chi
cago police authorities today an
ncunced Crones was at the head of an
extensive bomb plot, involving the de-
struction of buildings and the murder
OF prominetn clergymen, bankers and
public men in dozens of cities. The
Police say they found in Crones quar-
ters accurate plans of several large
buildings, including plats Of the Union
League club here and the Chicago fed
eral building. A bottle which had con-
tanned 48O grains of arsenic was also
found and is being held by the authori-
ties as evidence agains Crones.
Following the search of Crones'
apartments, the police visited the
rooms occupied by John Allegrini, who
was known to be his confident, and
there unearthed further evidence of
the existence of a bomb plot. The evil
Gence found in Allegrini's room in
cluded number of letters and import
ant documents that are said to abso-
luely establish the existence of an
anti-clerical organization, the influence
of which it is feared will be found to
be widespread. The headquarters Of
this alleged anti-clerical organization
are probably located at Rome, where
it's activities are directed by a Com
mittee of Fifteen" reference to whom
occurs frequently in the letters found
in Allegrini's quarters. The man has
disappeared, and is being sought by
tie police, along with Crones.

POULTRY SHOWT0
Be A FEATURE At
THIRD DIST. FAIR

The poultry show at the coming
Third District Agricultural fair at
Americus, October 23rd to 2sth, will
be one of the best of its kind ever pull
ed off in Georgia ,as some of the best
breeders of poultry in this country
will send prize-winning birds to be
shown. The farmer who is wise will
buy his fowls for starting of the
poultry industry at the fair.
A word to all who contemplate buy
ing fowls from among the ribbon
winners is here given. It will be wise
to study the points laid out in this ar
ticle, If you are on the market for
fowls.
In buying male birds at the Third
Agricultural District fair, it is best to
buy bird for the blood and the per-
formance behind it, rather than for the
appearance Of the bird itself. October
birds should make a good showing this
time of the year. They should have
been spring matches, and if so they
should make very good birds by this
time of the fall. The spring bird that
is US to weight and size makes good
breeder, the damage that he does ts
other birds is that he dwarfs birds
which may be fine, well-frown speci-
mems Of the breed at that age.
No one knows so well as the breeder
what his stock may reasonably be ex-
pected to produce; no one knows so
well as the farmer what he wants to
buy. 1t is equally as important to take
ime to make the best possible selection
Of "cock-o'-the walk" as IN any other
head of a herd or flock. Visit the
poultry building early; one of the best
poultry men in the state will take
pains to show you through Don't
Wait until the premiums are awarded
tc buy stock. Buy farm breeding
stock for the points you need to
strengthen in your flock, not for the
prizes won by the breeder. Visit the
poultry building often. Judge the
class you are interested In in your
own mind before the judges place the
awards. If you cannot see the wisdom
of the awards, ask the judges why
they placed them as they did There il
rot much chance of farmer losing
the money he puts into poultry.
If the actual return from farm
poultry could be written up in gold
trick advertising style, the farmers
wouldn't believe it. At this early date
the Chamber of Commerce has secured
seevral silver loving cups and many
valuable prizes to be given away in
the poultry building.
