PEOPLE To SPEAK
IF THE Y.M. {. A.
IS SAVED FOR Us

It's up to the people of Americus
what shall be done with the Y. M. c.
A.
The institution is in the balance, and
only the response of the people by
joining the Y. M. c. A. can save it
from the sheriff's hammer. The pres
ent executive board of the organization
has saved it from the stroke of the
forced sale once-and their accom-
plishment has been to save it thus far,
for the people of Americas.
An appeal has been made for mem
bers for the Y. M. G. A., but the general
trouble seems to be-let John do it. It
looks as if everybody is depending on
somebody else to pull the Y. M. c. A.
through. But, it will take the con-
certed cooperation of the people them
selves to keep the organization for this
city.
At least $50 members are needed
and only about so have been secured
With $50 members, the Y. M. c. A can
be continued and will prosper, ac-
cording to Chairman Lee G. Council, OF
the executive board. Shall the Y. NJ
G. A. be closed and sold out-just for
the lack of 70 members? That's the
question, and that's the plain statement
OF facts which must be answered by
the people of Americas.
The executive board, and those peo-
pie who have faithfully stood by the
Y. NJ. C. A., want their position made
plain. They have saved the Y. M. G. A.
thus far, but they cannot continue un-
less the people join in the wholesome
work of maintaining this organization
for the uplift of the community, and as
a congenial place for recreation and
assistance.
Sometime ago, the reorganized Y. M.
c. A., under the leadership of the pres
ent executive board stepped in and
saved the institution from a forced
sale at the hands of the sheriff.
It's plain, business proposition. If
the Y. NJ. c. A. is lost to the city, it
will not be the fault of the executive
board or those progressive citizens who
have labored thus far.
Think it over. Just say whether you
are willing to join the Y. M. c. A. at a
embership fee of $40 per year, and
thereby save this grand place for
Americus. Make up your mind. The
decision rests with you. The last word
is ready to be spoken.
If you are willing to do your part
the part of loyal Americus citizen,
tell Chairman L. G. Council that you
will poin the Y. NJ C. A. If it's not
convenient to communicate with the
Y. M. G. A. folks, call up the Times
Recorder, at phone SO, and give US
your name as member. Wen tell the
executive board about it.
We await your decision.

BOIL WEEV|L HAS
ITSELF VERY FAR
EAST IN STATE

The boil weevil has worked itself as
far east as Covington, Newton county;
Tennille, Washington county, and to
Evans county, according to State En-
tomologist e. Lee Worsham, who is in
the city. He stated last night that re-
ports received from agents in his de-
partment gave this new information
which shows the rapid pace at which
he weevil is making its way over Geor-
gia. The new line created in Evans
county brings the area to within forty
miles of the Savannah river, and with
another month for the weevil to put in
its deadly movements.
Mr. Worsham is heading the party Of
state authorities on the boil weevil
and other pests who are holding meet
ings in twenty-four counties of south-
west Georgia during the month of Oe-
tober. The meetings are being greet
ed with great success and large at

closer than this work of the state, fed
eral and local authorities on the boil
weeyil question.
Meeting Here Wednesday.
The great meeting here Wednesday
is expected to draw many farmers and
businss men. The meeting scheduled
for this week are Monday, Monte
yuma; Tuesday, Ellaville; Wednesday,
Americus, and Thursday, Leesburg.
In these meetings Mr.. Worsham tells
the farmers how to grow cotton under
boil weeyil conditions. He tells them
that actual experience has shown that
a farmer can raise sixty per cent. of
the normal crop with the boil weevoil
here, if he will only follow the direc-
tions which science and practice has
shown to be accurate and true.
Mr.. Worsham tells of the improved
methods of utilizing seed, adapted to
the particular section where the boil
weevil is working its damage. The
matter is stressed that certain varieties
should be planted in particular sec
tions.
