BRAZILIAN BOAT
A GERMAN
ESCAPING SHIP

RIO DE JANERIO, Brazil, Feb. H.
After asking and obtaining permission
from Brazilian authorities to approach
the wharf and take on water, the Ger
man steamer ASCENSION, interned at
Para, today headed seaward, and ap-
parently attempted to escape from the
harbor. Vessels of the Brazilian navy
stationed at Para to prevent neutrality
violations, intercepted the Ascunsion
and forced the vessel to return to it's
anchorage.
When the ASCENSION had reached a
point opposite the wharf, where water
was to have been placed on board, the
ship swung seaward, and with full
head of steam the engines began 10
force the ASCENSION toward the outer
harbor. The German vessel had gain
ed considerabl speed and was some
distance from the wharf, heading to-
ward the harbor ship channel, when
observed by the captain of the Brazil
ian armored cruiser Republica. A sig
nal to stop was hoisted at the Repub-
lica's masthead, and moment later a
blank shot was fired across the bows
of the escaping ASCENSION.
The auxiliary cruiser Teffe, stationed
farther out in Para harbor, saw the As
cunsion making its way to sea, and sig
nailed the vessel to stop. No atten-
tion being paid the signal, blank
shot from the guns of the Teffe was
fired to attract attention of the Ascun-
sion's captain. The German command
er refused to obey the signal to stop,
even after this warning, but continued
toward the mouth of the harbor.
Meanwhile the cruiser Republica had
maneuvoered into position and believ-
ing the Ascunsion had determined upon
escaping to sea, solid shot was fired
after the fleeing merchantmen. The
Teffe also joined in the firing, several
Lrojectiles being sent across the decks
of the Ascunsion. The German captain
thereupon signalled his intention to
obey the Brazilian signals and the fir
ing ceased. The ASCENSION stopped
with the Brazilian auxiliary warship
directly across the path to sea, and
swinging about returned to her an
chorage.
Being boarded by Brazilian naval Of
flcials, following the firing, the captain
of the German ship denied all intention
of leaving Para harbor. His statement
was taken by the Brazilian boarding
party, and an investigation of the E
fair is already under way. Additional
were placed upon interned
German vessels, following today's oc-
currence.

THOUSANDS Will GO TO sunday
SCHOOL TODAY OVER THE STATE
ALONG With HUNDREDS IN CITY
DISTRICT F AIR
WILL De A GREAT.
SUCCESS FOR ALL

The benefits to be derived from the
Third Agricultural District Fair to the
farmers are many" said Judge ]. A.
Hixon in talking to a Times-Recorder
representative. Zone of the greatest
results can see at this time to accrue
from the fair this fall is the fact of the
enthusiasm to be aroused in the farm
ers of our section and the friendly riv-
airy that is bound to come from COM
petitive exhibits by our farmers.
There is also another advantage 10
the fair that overshadows all others,
and that is the education features.
Here the farmer and his family may
learn the very latest and most modern
appliances used on the farm, both out
in the fields and in the farmers house, .
said Judge Hixon.
The farm machinery building will be
full of the latest machinery. Several
cf the big factories have already ap-
piled for space. Several of them have
donated farm machinery to be used as
prizes in the Agricultural exhibits.
Another special feature of the Third
Agricultural District Fair will be the
learning of more economic handling of
crops for market. Also the handling of
the business on the farm. The day has
come when the farmer has to use good
judgment in the managing of the crop
he plants. He has to know in the first
place the proper selection of seeds to
Insure the right kind of results. Here
the farmer not only learns the proper
seed selection, but sees actual results
rown from the seed on exhibition.
The farmer see sat the fair better
cattle of all grades. He learns the
right breeds for butter and cream, the
milk givers and the beef builders AMI
there will be several herds Of register
ed cattle sold on the fair grounds and
left here for our country. This is a
great benefit to the whole country as
we'll as to the farmer. At the fair the
farmer sees practical demonstrations
C. the buildings he should have on the
farm. That only latest improved
barns, but the home plans are shown
also. The District Fair educates the
farmer to raise more home supplies
and this is accomplished by showing
what the other fellow has done.
The the Third Agricultural District
Fair will be the means of the farm de-
monstrator and the farmer getting
more closely together and working out
the problems on the farm. There is
nothing that could possibly benefit
the farmer like the fair. The Office Of
the committee on the fair is at the
Chamber of Commerce. Suggestions
from the farmers as to our plans will
be gladly received.

Are you going?
Well, we reckon you'd better go!
Go-where, and to Sunday school
this morning.
Americus experienced a day on Sat
urday, and will experience a greater
day this morning. Thousands of greet
ings were passed Saturday with the
welcome: Com to Sunday school
Sunday morning, and bring friend"
Movements have swept this city in
storms, and possibly the day is COM
ing when preparedness can be likened
to it, but never have so many words
been spoken about any one thing as it
was about Sunday school.
The day is the second annual Co
To-Sunday School Sunday. 1t will be
made huge success today. Governor
Nat E. Harris issued his proclamation
requesting all people to attend Sunday
school, especially on today.
1t doesn't make any particular diff
ference where you go to Sunday school
but go. If you are not a member of
a church, go to the church which your
parents are members or your broth
ers and sisters-and if you are by
yourself, go to your friends church,
and if you have no friends-stay at
home on Sunday, but get out of Amer
icus by Monday.

CHAPTER v,

Duane looked around him for book
or a paper, anything to read; but all
the printed matter he could find con-
sisted of few words on cartridge
boxes and an advertisement on the
back of a tobacco pouch. There
seemed to be nothing for him to do.
BE had rested; he did not want to lie
down any more. He began to walk to
and fro, from one end of the room to
the other. And as he walked he fell
into the lately acquired habit of
brooding over his misfortune.
