A STATEMENT FROM
ALBERT |. REEs NOW

My opponents are using circular
issued in my behalf in the race for
Clerk and Treasurer of the City of
Americus, in which it is said: "He is
a Booster for Americas" At the bot
tom of the circular is the imprint of
the printing concern in Fort Leaven-
worth, Kansas, which did the work.
l knew nothing of the circulars. and
did not have them printed. They were
received by me through the mail sew
eral days ago, as the gift of my son,
who is stationed in the United States
army at Fort Leavenworth. He had
them printed in the army printing
plant in Kansas, and sent them to me.
l am booster for Americas, and
the people will tell you that / am.
will appreciate the support of the vot-
ers. Respectfully,

far-famed boarding house hash it is
really sort of horticultural stew. Its
omnipresence, however, clearly attests
its deliciousness, and far be it from
us to condemn it per Sc.
The way it is served, however, calls
for some remarks. We are not allud-
ing to the fact that it is brought forth
in a beautiful bowl and placed on a
table all festooned with flowers and
graceful vines. That part of it is all
right, but read on. We are not talk
ing about the sweet young things back
of the table either-they are all right,
toe, but-keep on reading. What we
are talking about is this-the sloppy
way the punch is dished out. The
hostess may have provided dozen or
Sc cut-glass or hand-painted cups, but
there are never enough to go around,
and, as a consequence, the cups are
used over and over by first one guest,
then another, People with Riggs dis
ease use them, people with decayed
teeth likewise, to say nothing of those
who have sore throat and tubercu-
losis, or those whose mouths may be
harboring the germs of pneumonia,
dtphtheria, influenza and the like.
Sometimes, of course, the hostess
has pan of water placed somewhere
in the neighborhood of the punch
bowl and the aforesaid sweet young
things that are serving are supposed
to dip the cups after each time they
are used into this water If no better
provision for washing can be made
than this it is just as we'll, or better,
t. have none at all. What is the adj
vantage gained in dipping a cup in
water contaminated by the washings
from other cups? 1t is evident that
those cups treated along towards the
last in this way are polluted by the
refuse from all the former ones. The
cups not washed in this fashion are
really only contaminated by each indi-
vidual who actually used them.
The amount of disease spread in this
way may not be very great, but such
practice cannot fail to cause a Ger.
tain amount Why wouldn't it be q
nice thing for our hostesses to cut out
this source of infection by providing
individual paper cups for their guests
They can be ordered from any goot
drug store and only cost fraction o.
cent apiece.

No less than $500 has been secured

John D. Walker, of Sparta, chairman of
the democratic campaign committee in
Georgia, to take charge of this depart

This amount does not include the

the women will not close their cam

working right upto the last moment.
They have raised their money selling
Wilson buttons, giving benefit perform

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

The wyandottes are running strong in the home stretch of the laying com- petition at Storrs; they got the two best pens out of the first five. J. B. Watson's White Wyandottes from Marketable, Conn. and Dr. N. w. San born's Bluffs from Holden, Mass, tied for first place with 50 eggs each.
 The Agricultural College pen of Barred Rocks from Corvallis, Ore, were in second place for the week with a score of 46 eggs. The two leading pens, both White Wyandottes, entered by Obed G. Knight of Bridge ton, R. l., and Tom Barren of Cat forth England. tied for third place with 45 eggs each. All the pens taken together laid total of 2.511 eggs as compared with 2,509 for the corre- spending week last year,
 There was total of nineteen pens inlcuding White and Barred Rocks, White and Buff Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorns, and Oregons that made a 50 per cent. yield or better for the week. There were on the other hand fifteen pens that made less than a 26 per cent yield which means less than an egg and a half piece for these 150 birds.
 In the two preceding competitions involving a total of 182 pens of ten birds each there were seven pens that laid 2,0O0 eggs or better The man agement now predicts that there will be at least seven 2.oo0 egg pens in the present competition. Not only this but these high producing pens will represent more varieties than ever before. I've years ago only two breeds, namelyj Wyandottes and Leg horns were able to touch this high- water mark.

and corporations who are subject to the present income tax law amount to about $7,000.000,000. It is not un- reasonable or extraordinary and oth- CT expenditures of the federal gopern- ment. Let wealth pay taxes according to ability and the governmental bene- fits received.
 That the income tax is cheap and easy of collection and affords stable revenue is not controverted. The cost of collectton>is only 1.50 per cent. as compared with 3.25 per cent. for customs collections. This tax involves no forced levies or sheriff's sales, be- cause it only comes out of profits. This method of taxation deserves to live and to be perpetuated in the fiscal systems of every civilized country. It is the greatest engine of fiscal power the United States has today. This statement is proven by the fact trat England, with less than half our wealth and population, expects to de- rive $975.00O,O00 during the present fiscal year from her income tax. The equity and fairness of this tax and it's capacity always to produce ade- quate revenue will justify as 1t has justified, the permanent existence of the law.

 Of Cities Ousted w
 By Gen. Obregon

Mexico City, Oct 6.-An order has been issued by General Alvaro Obre- gon, minister of war, abolishing the title and pasition of '.jefe de las arms" in the diminishing of military control throughout Mexico. Heretofore the powers of the jefes de las armas or military commanders superseded those of the civil authorities and judges. Hereafter, according to Obregon's de- cree, the commanders of garrisons will have authority over their own men only and will not deal in any way with the civil administration. Those who have been acting as administrators without military command have been ordered to rejoin their regiments or brigades at once.

Thirty-two Will Be Elected in the Balloting of
 November '.

Washington. Oct. 5-In the cleo tions next month thirty-two United States Senators are to be elected to fill the places of seventeen Democrats and fifteen Republicans.

Counting the results in Maine, where two Republican Senators were elected last month, the composition of the upper house becomes fifty-five Demo- crats and forty-one Republicans.
 To gain control of the Senate the Republicans must elect twenty-three candidates. That is to say, they must elect all their fifteen and make an inroad of eight on the DemoNrats. In Indiana two Senators are tN be chosen as a result of the death Of Benjamin F. Shively, whose seat is now held by Thomas Tageart, as ap- pointee of the governor.
