We have just finished the study of
eggs in our Domestic Science work. We
cooked eggs in every way imaginable;
boiled, fried, scalloped, porched scram-
bled and creamed.
Our very first lesson we made ia.
Now we've started pies. Last time we
made apple pie. Next time we are
hoping for mince, 1t is quite a change
from tea to pies.
Tuesday Miss Mexican asked ten 7-2
boys to stay in after school and help
her. We wondered what she wanted.
When they got in the Domestic Sci
ence room Miss Mexican told them that
she wanted them to help her serve the
teachers who were having a meeting
in Miss Lizzie's room
We carried in plates and cups and
knives and forks like real walters.
Those plates had piece of pie and
some sandwiches and pickles. We al
so took them cup of tea.
Ottie Prather Johnson said that Il
they made him take in all that pie ano
didn't give hi many it would be Tax
alton without Representation.
He got some though.

Preparations for the May Day festiV-
lilies have been going forward rapidly.
The Virginia reel in the seventh grade
is going to be country dance, with
the boys and girls appropriately cos
tuned for the occasion.
When Miss Hardy first started she
got Miss Mamie Sue to help her, so
our editor-uI-chief, Isabel Wheatley
taught Miss Mamie Sues class. Isa-
belle said they all behaved nicely, ex-
ccpt one little boy, and she had to send
him in the cloak room.
We are doing some of the prettiest
art work that we've done this year. We
made very pretty water scene the
other day. We used the cut paper and
torn paper entirely. The work was
done on blue paper. White paper was
used for a little boat and moon with
its reflection. With dark brown paper
we made little row of hills right
along the sky line
The way we made these, we cut them
out and pasted them on the blue paper.
Mr.. Mathis came in our room and
said our work was fine. We certainly
did feel complimented

Interesting Items From
The Americas Schools
THE HIGH SCHOOL

Well after a long absence from this
paper, the news of the Americas High
school is once more going to appear
il the Americus Times-Recorder every
Sunday morning. And while we have
not much to talk about this morning,
that's not saying that it is true every
time. You know since Principal Lam
bert left the shadows of our high
school the students have been having
quite a time learning our new rules
aid regulations. For instance the
pupils no longer change periods, be-
cause the faculty decided that it was
waste of time and so now the teach
ers do all the changing and are the
only ones who can gossip and take

Some People Would Haze The
English Forbid U. S. Films

LONDON, March 11.-There is re-
rewed discussion Of the proposal that
the Government prohibit importation of
moving picture films, both as means
of national economy and as a step to-
ward building up home industry in the
movie" field.
Nine-tenths of all the films shown in
England are imported from the United
States and France 1t is estimated thar
the trade with American film producers
sends to the United States no less than
$10,0OO,000 year, thus helping to build
up foreign trade balance against
Great Britain and taking much gold
out of the country.
England is taking to her economies
reluctantly and there is a wide diver
gence of views as to the moving pic
ture, or cinema" theatres as they are
called here. Several fthe leading
London newspapers are advocating the
ban against the imported film and have
grown outspoken in their denunciation
OF teh American product in particular.
While admitting that some of the pic
tire productions from the. States are

Cleritorious they assert that Rattle
snake Pete" "Broncho Bill" and other
COW person" dramas predominant in
the American held and are quite unin-
telligible to our people"
But the American movie" has
staunch friends and it is asserted that
if American productions were barred
the theatres throughout the British
Isles would be forced to close. The
English productions could not begin to
fiji the demand and it is said the in
Gustry never could grow to great pro-
portions here because the light and at
mospheric conditions cannot compare
10 those in California and other parts
Of the United States. Those in opposi-
ton to the film importation, however,
claim that Great Britain can lead the
world in this Industry as in others.
There are about 5000 moving pic
ture theatres in the Kingdom and their
billboards all proclaim American pro-
ductions. Most of the American film
stars have their distinctive followings
in England.
In urging that American films be

very popular with all the students
and faculty. Mr.. Noyes one taught in
the Americas schools long ago and
hundreds of friends he made while
here then welcomed him on his return.
Prof. Noyes is a writer of recognized
ability and he is rendering very much
cid to all the essay contestants.
Rev. Lawrence Visits.
Rev. James B. Lawrence made his
regular trip to the school Thursday
and his short talk was very much en-
joyed by all those present. These ad-
dresses by Rev. Lawrence are very
instructive and are most interesting.
His next visit is looked forward to
with pleasure by the students and
faculty
New System of Elections.
Well just have to tell you about
our new system of carrying on cleo
tons. 1t was formerly our custom to
have the officers of the litertry society
elected by reclamation, but that has
been discarded. We now are forced
to register just as the people who are
busy up town every day lodging can
didates do. And they make us pay an
awful amount to register. Just think
about make us pay for the privilege
Of casting a ballot for a fellow who
81 ould be tickled to death to receive
our vote. However the sum is not
what you might call too large, they
make us pay penny to put our John
Hancock on a long roll. The students
are divided into two political parties,
Democrats and Bull Moose.

Body Of German Prince
Killed in War Buried
in 3O-F ranc Coffin

=. = \
Paris. Aug. 1s.-The circum-
stances Of the death and mysteri-
GUS disappearance Of the body OF
Prince Maximilian, of Hcsse, whose
relatives invoked the aid of the
pope in an effort to obtain this in
formation, are disclosed by a writ
er IN the Petit Partisan. The writer
asserts that the prince was shot in
the groin during an engagement be-
tween Saxon detachment and an
English patrol In northern France
early In the war. The prince was
found by monks and taken to their
monastery, where he died soon
after.
The monks were ordered to evac-
uate the monastery and Father
Bernard, visiting the cloister the
following day found the body Of
the prince was missing. Later the
princes family, appealed to the pope
for information as to the disposition
of the body. The writer says the
body reposes in. a humble cemetery
at Hazebrook. that 1t was kept two
days in house there, was once in
tered, but exhumed at night and
finally buried in coffin costing 80
francs, which was advanced by a
poor man out Of pity.
Prince Macmillan was 20 years
old and a son Of the youngest sister
OF Emperor William Of Germany.

President Objects to Ex-
emption From Discipline
of Retired Officers
BILL REINTRODUCED
WITH EXAMINATIONS
Objectionable Sections and Whole Re-
vision Of Articles Of War Taken Out
Charge Made by Presidents Friends
That Section Of Measure Was in In
terest Of Certain Officer Who Planned
to Make an Attack on Army.

Washington, Aug. Is. - President
Wilson today vetoed the army bill be-
cause Of exemptions from discipline for
retired officers, forced into it by the
house conferees over the opposition OF
the war department.
A new bill will be necessary and may
delay adjournment of congress. Repre-
sentative Hay said he would introduce
the bill in the house Immediately with
the features to which the president OBJ
jected eliminated.
Mr.. Hay later reintroduced the bill.
minus not only the section to which
the president objected but the whole
revision of the articles Of war elini-
mated.
Was Bill Loaded?
There have been broad intimations
that the revision which proposed to re-
move retired officers from the jurisdic-
tion OF court martial was In the inter-
es. Of certain officer who was wait
ing for the time when he could be i'm
mune from discipline to make an at
tack on the army.
The officer was very close to con-
gressmen framing the army bill and
until his retirement he was reckoned
with as power in shaping army legis-
lation.
The presidents veto Of the bill is one
of the developments of years in the
contest between the army and Chair
man Hay. a Only the force Of President
Wilson's interference put the regular
army increase in the, new reorganiza-
ton bill thru the house in the face Of
Hays opposition
Recently President Wilson appointed
Hay to a judgeship on the court Of
claims and he is serving his last term
lin congress.

A recommendation of the majority
members OF the senate finance COM
5mittee for s1a0,0oO.0oO bond issue to
meet extraordinary government ex-
penditures due to the Mexican sftua-

The recommendation was laid before

ments for the fiscal year of 1917 at

STEFANSSON'S FIND
OF GREATEST VALUE
Arctic Expedition Results in Discovery
Of Great Field of Native Copper
May Settle Question Of Existence Of
Great Polar Continent. p.

New York, Aug. 1S.-The discovery
by the Canadian Arctic expedition,
headed by Vilhjalmur Stefansson Of
great field of native copper in the vi
cinity of Copper> Mine river. in the
neighborhood Of Prince Albert Island
will prove of great value to the bust
ness world, says DR.. Chester A.
Reeds, of the American Museum Of
Natural History. DR.. Reeds believes
also that it will afford scientists an
opportunity for displaying their in
genuity in finding an outlet from a re-
gion, that still is unopened in a COM
mercial sense.
The work Of the party, which ar
rived in Nome, Alaska, on Tuesday, is
expected to prove valuable In deter
mining the direction Of winds and the
movement Of tides in the Polar region.
DR.. Reeds said this might go a long
way to disprove that a great continent
exists in the unexplored region north
of Alaska and west and northwest OF
Greenland.
