TRUTHFUL ADVERTISING
DISCUSSED BY EXPERT
c. E. LIE Vigne of New York Tells of
Means of Exposing
Fakes.

Truthful advertising is a serious
problem, for it affects both the mer-
chants and the public vitality" said G.

of large New York newspaper. in an
address delivered before the advertis-
ing vigilance committee of the Retail
Merchants Association last night in
the oak room of the Raleigh Hotel.
The truth cannot be weighed, either
by pound or gallon, but real honesty is
the writing of words in such a manner
that they cannot possibly be miscon-
strued.' he said
Mr.. lie Eigne told the members of the
committee of various means of expos
ing false and misleading advertising
matter. He told of his experiences in
New York city and what has been &C
complished by the paper by which he
is employed. He said the idea of form
ing an advertising committee in this
city is a good one, since it will benefit
both the public and advertising me-
diums alike. 1t will serve to drive the
| trickster out Of business here, he said.
The committee considered several
complaints concerning advertising mat

PARIS, March 3.-The story of the
three French sappers who were buried
alive for hours during the battle of
Verdun and who finally dug their way
out to safety is told in detail by one
of them, who has arrived in Paris on
hospital train. He said:

cording to orders. the three of us, with
a charge of powder. fuses and tools,

pack the gallery behind it. We did
this without difficulty and were on our

We were not afraid of death-it was

again. There is plenty of air and the

Need of Waiting Stations Discussed.

The question of establishing waiting
stations on the line of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, espe-
cialiy one at the southeast corner of
the old race track property, was dis
cussed. 1t was stated that the railway
company was requested to erect such a
station there to protect its patrons
during their long waits for cars.
The railway company" Secretary
Oppenheimer said, never acknowI-
edged receipt of our communication"
Another effort will he made to inter-
est the company in the matter.
The withdrawal of the Benning road
condemnation proceedings by the Com
inisSioners was discussed. Mr.. Wood
and others told of the enactment of a
law providing for the widening of that
road and to prohibit racing. That was
several years ago, it was stated, and
the racing was quickly stopped, but
Benning road has not been widened.
Mr.. Wood was in favor of asking
Congress to pass bill compelling the
Commissioners to go ahead with the
proceedings and to widen the road. The
question was postponed until the next
meeting, however. when a compre-
hensive report will be submitted.

Third District A. & N. College
Haze Feature in Summer School

Considerable interest is being man
ifested in the approaching session or
summer school of the Third District
A. & NJ. College, which begins in this
city, May %, and continues through
two weeks or until June 2. Of course
it is understood that this summer
school is designed principally for the
beefit of teachers in the various
schools of the state, and particularly
for those of the Third Congressional
district in which this school is located.
Not for the purpose however of pre-
pairing teachers for examination, but
to fit them for better work in the
school rooms over which they preside,
Still, in this school a teacher who
wishes to fit him or herself for a
higher grade certificate, can ind val
liable help here in that all the subjects
on which the state teachers examina-
lions are based are to be carefully
taught at the summer school. And
again young men and women who are
planning to teach for the first time
will find here a source of valuable in
structo as matters pertaining to
common school subjects and methods
CT presenting same will be considered
AID applied.
A full course of study will be pro-
vided and the student teachers at
tending will be allowed to select any
Sfive courses of eleven lessons each, as
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-05-16

well as participate in other features
CT the session, such as storytelling,
playing games and round table work.
The course of study will comprise
the following: Agriculture, Home
Economics, Domestic Scence, Nature
Study in connection with the agricul-
tural work, Arithmetic, Geography,
History, English Literature, Reading,
Hygiene, School Management, Correla-
ton of club work, Story telling, Ath-
letics, Plays, Games and the Round
table.
This summer school is made pos
sible through the generosity of the
management of the Third District A.
& M. College, and should be taken ad-
vantage of by the teachers of the sur
rounding counties. The dormitor, es
of the A. NJ. College will be thrown
open for the accommodation OF those
attending, and for class rooms. Shops,
Laboratories, library and other equip
ment of the college will be at the
service of the students.
To use an old time expression this
is the opportunity of a lifetime" AMI
it is to be hoped every teacher in
the Third congressional district will
avail themselves of it.
The teachers who will have charge
of the school have volunteered their
services without pay. Three of the
state supervisors will be present and
teach the classes not otherwise pro
vided for.
The cost of attending the schol will
be nominal, Sc being the charge at
ahe dormitories for board and lodging
for the entire session. No tuition will
be charged. The low price charged
for board and lodging is made posi-
bic by the students being required to
bring sheets, pillows, towels, pillow
cases, ETC., and are expected to take
care of their room.
The teachers and their subjects are
as follows:

Three Charts Since The Cotton
Futures Act Shows It's Effect

WASHINGTON, D. c., ay 16.-Three
charts published in Service and Reg
ulatory Announcement No. of the
Office of Markets and Rural Organiza-
ton show the results that have been
accomplished for the cotton industry
by the Cotton Futures Act. 1t is
pointed out that since this Act went
into operation future quotations fairly
reflect spot values in both New York
ard New Orleans and also, in a gener-
al way, over the entire South.
Of the three charts the first shows
the comparative variations in the
prices of spot and future cotton on
the cotton exchange of Liverpool, New
York ad New Orleans for ap erioOd of
preceding the enactment of the Cotton
Futures Act and preceding also the
outbreak of the European War. This
chart shows that future quotations
were abnormally low compared with
the price of spot cotton for the period
covered by the chart At New York,
ESPECIALLY, futures were at a discount,
and the same condition existed also at
Liverpool and New Orleans, though to
a less extent.
The second chart shows the varia-
tions in the price of spot and future
cotton on the same exchanges from
February IS, 1915, to January %,
p916, during substantially all of which
time the Cotton Futures Act was in
effect. An examination of the chart
