PROF. MATHIS BEEN
REELECTED As HEAD

Prof. ]. E. Mathis has been reelected
superintendent of the Americas public
schools. This action was taken by
the Board of Education at meeting
held last night. That the board has
acted well and wisely goes without
the saying.
Prof Mathis has been connected
with the schools of Americus since
their organization on the present ba
sis, and he has fully demonstrated to
the people of this city and the pa
irons of the schools that he is the right
man in the right place. He has admin
istered the various duties that have
dcvolved upon him during his entire
service in signal manner, the result
of which has been the placing of the
Americas schools on a high plane, the
equal of any city of its size, and even
larger, in the country.
The Board of Education, the patrons
of the schools, the citizens of Americas
and Sumter county are to be congrat-
ulated upon the retention OF Prof. Ma
this as the head of our schools.

REVELATIONSOF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRUsON

Mrs. Durkee sat outside looking the picture of comfort in a low camp chair taken from the boat with an awning of sail cloth stretched com- fortably above her head.
 l waited until Miss Draper came out for I had no desire to share with her the privacy of a temporary dress ing room. I could not resist a little gasp of amazement as she parted the curtains, for while she made a most stunning picture, yet her vivid scarlet hathing suit was so daringly cut as to be almost an offense to my conserva- tive eyes. The four men had dis appeared into their own tent, from which we could hear strains of laugh 7s ter and bantering talk.
 As l went into our tent I saw the shrewdly critical eyes of Lillian Un- derwood and the disapproving ones of Mrs. Durkee rest upon the girl, and vas vindictively glad that for a few moments at least she would receive DO admiration of her get-up.
 I undressed rapidly and got into my own bathing suit of dark blue trimmed with bands of crimson, cut modishly, but very conservatively. As I twisted my hair up under my , bathlng cap l had a queer little pre- sentiment, a premonition of evil waiting for me, imminent. It was so strong that for a moment I almost de- cIded to abandon the idea of going into the ocean; then I pulled myself together with a scathing contempt for my own weakness and went out of the tent.
 The men in their bathing suits were gathered around Grace Draper, laugh ing and chatting with her, but Harry Underwood and Dr. Petit had a de- tached little air as if of watchful- ness. As soon as they saw me they hurried toward me.
 "Now, mermaid fair" Harry Under wood cried out, you promised the 1 other night to go to the end of the world with me- Let's start now with a run into the surf" He held out his hand to me boldly. pr. Petit, with a playfulness which had never seen in him before, came up to my other side and caught my other hand:
 If you go as far as that" he said, you'll surely get a cramp and need q physician, so I think I'll go along"

When We Are Reckless

In times of stress and excitement look out for money. If you don't, it will fly.
 You spend more money unnecNs- sarily in few days of excitement than you can save in weeks.
 Tn times of sickness, for instance, excitement and anxiety combine to make you reckless. It seems mean to think of money at a time like that and so you forget your budget and the inevitable day of reckoning, and spend wildly. And not only are you lavish in your expenditures for the sickroom but your purse strings are looser all around. You can't think of money.
 Remember Your Running Mate Must
 Share the Burden.
 By and by the illness passes, the crisis of excitement is over and you go back to the routine of daily living. Then the day of reckoning comes and you find yourself poorer than you care to think. Perhaps the eX-invalid is your running mate and then he or she, in addition to the effort of taking up the daily tasks in a weakened state, has to help shoulder the bur den of debt or depleted savings.
 Of course, to have to think of money when someone you love is i'll is one or the hardest things in the world Poverty imposes no more cruel discipline than the necessity of weigh ing the need of medical attendance in the balance with ones ability to af- ford it, These things shouldn't be, ct +o 1O the sick person justice without doing his future and yours an injustice.
 How the Money Flies When We
New Britain herald., 1916-08-24

Travel!
 travel is another condition under which, the inhibition of daily living being removed, we spend out of all proportion to what we need and can afford.
 Vacations are also danger spots, and the excitement of the holiday season.
 "Its only once a year, we say of each, and snap go the purse strings.
 Daily expense accounts are inVal- uable at times like these. If you don't kick completely over the traces and stop keeping them they act as an automatic brake.
 And yet, even as I write, l am as- sailed by the other side of this mat ter.
 Could There Be Greater Luxury
 Than Letting Up?
 If you have to watch pennies fifty weeks in the year, could you have a greater luxury in the other two than to let up on that grinding vigilance?
 It sometimes seems to me that the hardest thing the families who live on what people in comfortable cir cumstanceS set aside for spending money have to bear. is not the depr1- vations, but this eternal, narrowing, heart-sickening watching of the pen nies.
 If they don't do it. they get into debt
 If they do do it, they are likely to get dry rot of the soul. Between these two fates lies an infinitely narrow path.
 And if anyone in the world de- serves a laurel wreath 1t is the men and women who manage to keep in 1t.
