ENTERTAINMENT
WAS SPLENDID AFFAIR

Clyde Poulter, that little man" an
nounced to entertain the citizens of
Americas, at the High school auditor
ium, under the auspices of the Epworth
League Thursday night, came and for
rproximately two hours delighted his
audience with his versatile manner,
playing between humor and pathos
and with such wonderful magic that
he captivated his hearers from the very
first, causing the house to ring
throughout the evening with laughter
and applause.
In manner the speaker was easy and
graceful, his selections showed much
thought and preparation, which made
him master of the situation.
Those who failed to hear this pop
lar and impressive entertainer, missed
one of the finest entertainments that
it has been their privilege in a long
time to enjoy. 1t was first class high
grade entertainment, and every one
left feeling delighted over a most en-
joyable evening.

Corn CObs To
Go Skying Too

ATLANTA, Ca, April 21-Corn cob
pipes are going Up in price. According
to a local dealer in pipes and smokers
supplies, the price of Missouri meer-
schaum is soarink skyward along with
print paper, blue dye for overalls and
other necessities of life.
The Atlanta dealer says that the
long suffering public will not have the
sClace of blaming this misfortune on
the war, although thousands of the
American cob pipes are now on the
firing line. Devotees of the cob pipe
claim that it is superior to all others in
the satisfaction afforded, but now they
will have to content themselves with
genuine French briar or meerschaum,
for the cobs have gone up 200 per cent
and the end is not yet in sight.
The cob is now the aristocrat OF
pipedom, and costs 200 per cent more
than formerly.
The dealer explained this condition
by saying that the entire supply OF
cobs for pipes is produced in three
Missouri counties, and that for three
successive seasons the crop has failed

American Militarism is to have its

convention limiting the powers of
court martials, is to be greatly in

national guard that has always been

of labor trouble. Indeed, it is little
more than a private army of the en-
