REPAREDNESS
CLUBS On WEEv|L
NEWEST IN STATE

ATHENS, Ca, Nov 3-The latest
movement in combating the boil Vice.
vii and promoting changes in parm-
ing practices of the state, is announc-
ed at the Georgia State College of
Agriculture. A new kind of club has
been formed known as the boil Wee
vii Preparedness Club of Georgia" 1t
originated in Pierce county and is the
thought of prominent citizens of that
county and County Agent T. B. Wiley.
Believing that this club would be the
means of doing valuable work in every
county in which there is county
agent located, ]. Phil Campbell, direc-
tor of extension service announced to-
day that the clubs would be organized
throughout the state. The work of or
ganizing is to be taken up at once.
Membership in the Boil Weevil Pre-
paredness club involves the signature
to an agreement to do certain cooper
ative work in combating the boil
weevil, in modifying farm practices,
raising home supplies and other things
as they may arise, that would be of
benefit to all cooperating farmers.
The presence of the boil weeviI over
a large part of the state makes COOP
erative and vigorous action of farmers
very necessary at once. Believing that
this action can be secured in no way
SO quickly and thoroughly as by or
ganizing boil weevil preparedness
clubs in each county in which county
agents are employed, the College of
Agriculture has set itself to prosecute
the organization vigorously
w. B. Burley, the new boil weevil
expert obtained for the state from
Louisiana, will have his headquarters
at Albany, Ga. while J. G. Oliver, an
other expert, will continue to be To-
Gated at Americus. They will do field
work in promoting the organization of
the clubs and in other lines of educa-
tional work among the cotton farm
ers, as planned by the college and the
L. S. department of agriculture. While
the county agents have been doing pre-
Iaredness work of very practical
kind, it is now realized that to make
the work that has been done most eff
fective that a measure of cooperation
that can be secured only through club
organization, is now essential

SHIPS HAVE
BEEN SUNK IN WAR

NEW YORK, Nov. "a total of
1890 merchant ships have been sunk
by naval vessels and mines placed by
various belligerent nations during the
twenty-seven months of war ending
November LIST, according to figures
compiled here and published today in
the Journal of Commerce. The figures
have been collected most carefully and
are conceded to reflect accurately the
damage wrought to shipping by sub
marine activities, and other agencies
Of destruction.
The aggregate gross tonnage of the
ships destroyed was approximately g.
32S,5S4 tons, and the loss of such a
large tonnage has already seriously af-
fected mercantile shipping practically
throughout the whole world, the
shipbuilding yards devoting their en-
ergies to supplying these losses be-
ing unable to construct ships are rap
idly as they have been destroyed.

RATE HEARING To.
be HELD On NOV..
18TH At CAPITAL.

The petition of the Americas Public
Service Co., to raise the rates on cleo
tricity for lighting and power, and
gas for Illuminating and fuel purposes,
will be heard by the Railroad Commits
sion of Georgia, at their offices in the
state capitol in Atlanta, at 10 a. M. on
Tuesday, November 28th. This an
nouncement comes in the formal notice
required stating for what purpose and
when the petition will be heard.
1t will be recalled that the former
petition of the Americus Public Ser
vice Co., asked for permission to in
crease the rates on a sliding scale,
placing 12c per kilowatt hour as the
maximum, while the latest petition
asks for fiat rate of 10c per kilowatt
hour for lighting juice, and 7c per kill
owatt hour for power electricity.
The gas rate requested in the latest
petition is from $1.25 per 1000 cubic
feet for fuel purposes to $14O per
1000. For lighting gas. the petition
urges reduction from $3.50 per 1000
feet, to $1.40 per 1000, which makes
a uniform rate requested in the petit
tion of $1.4O per 1,OOGsbic feet on
all gas.
The trustees of the company state
that the increase in rate is necessary
because of the cost of operating the
plant and making reasonable inter-
est on the investment. These features
are expected to be looked into by GER
tain citizens, who may interpose an
objection at the hearing on November
2Sth in Atlanta.

Repubs. Skied
Prices For
Effect

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 3.-Some demo-
cratic state officers, who are in po-
sition to keep tab on the supply and
demand Of foodstuffs, are today max
ing the declaration that the existing
abnormally high prices for table nee
essities have been largely brought
about by the republican party, through
the big influences, for the purpose OF
having direct bearing upon the cam
paign.
They also figure. from calculation
showing where the freight car con-
gestion exists, that the same causes
have largely brought about the car
shortage in this section of the coun-
try. Large manufacturing plants.
particularly those handling war ma
terials, have accumulated and are
holding up the freight cars.

Seaboard Quick to

Trackage
FINAL DETAILS WILL
Be WORKED OUT SOON
Means Much To
The City and
Her People

John Robinsons circus will winter
here.
The final and definite understanding
came this afternoon just before the
1imes-Recorder went to press.
General Agent Meyer arrived in the
city at o'clock this afternoon from
Albany, where he had been looking
over the Dougherty county city. The
definite conclusion came over the tele-
phone shortly after noon in a CONVEX
sation with Frank Lanier, the promi-
nent moving spirit behind the move
ment here.
The first tip on securing the big
circus came from Secretary P. A. Fen
imore, of the Chamber of Commerce,
who was in Macon preparing for the
state fair. His organization was
watchful and merits the full praise OF
the people for their great work Sec
retary Fenimore could not accompany
Mr. Moyer, nor Mr.. Lester, to Ameri-
Gus, but they were met here by Mr..
Lanier.
To the Third Agricultural District
Fair association, of which Mr.. Lanier
is president also belongs great praise.
Had not the fair possessed the new
buildings on the ground, anticipating
the fair for 1917, it would have been
next to impossible to have secured the
proposition for Americus.
Undoubtedly, the matter of secur-
ing Robinson's circus to make their
winter quarters here is the greatest
stroke since the reorganization of
the Chamber of Commerce, and the
teginning of the Third Agricultural
District fair,

RAYMONDE STAPLETON,

Secretary Executive Department.
The celebration of the day in most
places will be in the nature of holding
Public Georgia Products Dinners, the
menu being composed entirely of
Georgia products and many commun-
tiles are attempting to serve only those
products grown in their immediate vi
cinity.
Only one official dinner is anowed
in each community and authority to
hold an official dinner will be granted
upon application to the Georgia Cham
ber of Commerce. Prizes will be given
for the various features of the cere-
bration. In some communities the To-
cal chamber of commerce is giving the
dinner and in others the Women's
clubs and in many instances the do
mestic science department of the Girls
High school, in oidor to demonstrate
their ability along this line.

The date for the circus to show in
Americus has been announced as No
vember 22nd. They have been billed
to Dawson for November 23rd, and it is
possible that the dates will be ex-

show here for their great finish on No
vember 23rd, and then go into winter
quarters.
Seven hundred people will be paid
of in Americus on the night of their
performance in this city This great
payroll will mean much to the city.
Two hundred and fifty people will
be in Americus for five months, during
the off-season of the show. Forty
show cars will be placed on the side
tracks of the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way, adjacent to the fair grounds.
There will be cars to paint; tents to
make over, and general renovation
of the show meaning much to the city
The necessary additional sidetrack
will be built by the city of Americus,
and rendered the Robinson shows.
With this fine arrangement the stay of
the circus here, year after year, is in
definite, and they will soon begin to
call this home forever.

The Clemenceau Case" Fox feature, with Theda Bara in the leading role, will again be seen at | Thorne's tonight. It was shown last evening to a large and interest l ed audience. The show tonight will start at S;30 o'clock. The price of admission is 50 cents
 As has been stated many times before. Theda Bara is in real life Theodosia Goodman, and is sister of the former we'll known young Fairbanksan, Mark Goodman. She was starred here once before as the Vampire Woman" in "A Fool There Was" The part she takes in The Clemenceau Case" is much the same as the role she played in "A Fool There Was" Supporters of Miss Bara in the play are William I. Shay and Stuart Holmes.
 The Clemenceau Case" as it will be seen here tonight in moving pie lures, is a viSualiZation Of the drama taken from the book of the same name by Alexander Dumas, the great French writer. In The Clemenceau Case" Dumas has attained the cap stone of his towering genius. Of lza, the pantherish heroine of this deathless drama he himself wrote: T shall never create another such character, though I scribble till doomsday"
 Iza's sinister beauty and its fatal form the main plot of "The Clemen- ceau Case" Pierre, her husband, whom she casts off for Constantin Ritz, she leaves with his career as talented sculptor blasted forever. In turn she toys with the infatuated Ritz, shattering his hopes, ambitions and home life.
 But Pierre saves Ritz against him self With heroic self-sacrifice he allows himself, apparently, to fall once more under Iza's spell He meets her in her oriental boudoir As she presses her false lips to Pierres he stabs her to the heart just as Ritz enters "I have saved you for your wife" says Pierre. calmly, as he telephones for the police.
