QUIT 1T. GIRLS, SOLDIERS
NEVER NEED UKELELES

ATLANTA, Ga, June 19.-Girls, it's
alright to be kind to your soldier boys
III camp, but don't send them any uke-
leles or silk sox There are things
they need more.
Just now the girls are sending pack
ages with more enthusiasm than
Judgement. A Spanish war veteran in
ole of the camps here suggest that the
girl who sends her sweetheart box
o. silk shirts or box of silk sox is
making a slight mistake. If she must
send sox, send wooden sox, and if you
must send shirts, send the brown wool
en- kind the government uses.
1t is pointed out that while there
may be a beautiful sentiment in send
ing mandolin or a ukelele to a sold
Ter boy in the camp or the trench, eX-
perience has shown that the amateurs
performance on these instruments is
usually worse nuisance than snakes
or mosquitoes. About the only resul
thus far accomplished by the sending
of several gross of ukeleles is the es-
tablishment of a conviction among
soldiers that there are some things
more to be dreaded than war.

TRAMP AND HOBO NO LONGER
SEEN THROUGHOUT OUR LAND

ATLANTA, Ca, June 19.-What no
amount of legislation and no multi
plicity of warnings could accomplish in
years has been brought to pass in a
few brief weeks by the entrance of the
United States into the world war-the
railroad tramp and the hobo have mag
ically disappeared.
No more are his breakfast fires ia
be seen burning under the bridges or
beneath the overhanging branches Of
streams beside the railroad track
There are no more hangouts at the en-
frances of tunnels and the side-door
Pullmans are no longer tenanted by
unshaven and ragged specimens of hui
manity.
Anyone caught on a railroad right
of-way these days must have means o!
proving instantly that he is above sus
picion. or he will find himself in SER
ious trouble with Uncle Sam.

most interesting sacred structure, how
ever is the Riddarholms-kyrka, with it )
open-work cast-iron spire rising to
height of nearly 800 feet. This is
Stockbolm's Westminster Abbey, or
Pantheon, for in it are buried the
kings and heroes of the nation. Here
rest the great warrior Gustavus Adolf
plus, and the able and enlightened
Gustavus ILL.,, who abolished torture,
granted liberty to the press, fostered
commerce and science, and in return
was assassinated at the instigation of
disaffected mobiles. Here also is the
tomb of Bernadotte, one of Napoleon
generals who was elevated to throne
by his master, but who fought against
the military genius when the latter's
star of empire began to set.

FAIR DIRECTORS
DECIDE ON PLAN

The compaign to secure the $4,000
necessary to carry the preparations
for the Third Agricultural District
fair to completion will be conducted
not by canvassing committees working
among the citizens of Americas and
Sumter county, but by means of an ap-
peal in an open letter to the general
public.
This plan was decided upon at q
meeting of the fair directors held yes
terday afternoon and after much dis
cussion of various methods practicable
ii. the present status of the fair, the
open letter idea gained favorable con-
sideration.
There is about $4,000 outstanding on
stock subscription pledges made by
citizens of Americas and Sumter
county. These pledges are in the form
Of notes which matured in September,
1916, but which have never been paid,
although more than half of the stock
subscribers have fulfilled their obliga-
lions and paid up their pledges.
1t is necessary to secure these funds
before further progress can be made
on the fair and if an exposition is to
be held in Americas this fall, the
money must be raised without delay.
The directors decided to rely on the
appeal to the public to support the
fair, dispensing with soliciting com
mittees and putting the matter square.
~ up to the citizens of this section.
They declare that the obligation rests
upon those who have subscribed for
stock in the fair and have not thus far
liquidated their indebtedness, as ex-
pressed in the notes given in payment
for their stock.
The necessary funds must be raised
during the present week or all further
work on the fair will cease, and as far
as the Third District Fair association
is concerned, nothing further will be
done to promote the project.

STOCKHOLM MOST.
PIG 7 UREsQUE OF.
EUROPEAN CITIES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
The National Geographic society issues
the following war geography bulletin
Ion Stockholm, now so prominently in
tie public eye as the convention city
lef the socialists:
Although it is frequently styled
1.-THE Venice of the North owing to
the fact that it is built upon a num-
Der of islands and peninsulas, Stock
holm, the picturesque capital of Swe.
den, bears small resemblance to the
Queen of the Adriatic, for whereas the
Italian city is built upon number of
delta-formed fragments of land only
a few feet above sea level, the islets
and promonotories on which Stockholm
stands are rugged granite rocks, which
must be blasted away whenever a
new building is erected.
Few European capitals have ex-
perienced such prosperity as Stock
holm. 1t has much more than dou-
bled in population since 1880 and in
1913 had overtaken and passed Wash
ington, d. c., by more than 10000.
Among the commercial and industrial
centers of Sweden it is in the van
guard, with extensive iron foundries,
slip-building plants, sugar, tobacco,
leather, cotton, soap, furniture and
food products factories.
Stockholm owes its foundation to
R;rger Jarl, a broad-minded and abb :
statesman, who married the sister OF
King Erik Erickson and upon the
death of that sovereign ruled as re
gent for his own son Valdemar, for
1e years, during which time he inaug-
urated the establishment of Sweden's
oversee empire by leading an expedi-
ton into Finland in 1919 and building
Tie fortress of Tavastehus. Five years
later he established fortress on the
rocky islet which lies in the mouth OF
the channel connecting Malar Lake
with the Baltic Sea. This was the be-
ginning of Staden (the city,, which
forms the heart of the present Swedish
capital
Being built of wood, Stockholm wa
frequently swept by fire during its
early history, and it also suffered
greatly from periodic raids by the
Danish kings. On one of the latter

HARD To SELECT
BEST S0UTHPAW

NEW YORK, June 19.-Selecting the
greatest southpaw of all time in big
league endeavor isn't matter of gath
ering the dope on Babe Ruth, Ferdie
Schupp, Ed Plank, RUDE Waddell, Doc
White and the others on down the list
CT off-handers who have made base
ball history.
Eddie Plank undoubtedly has built
himself a pedestal on which he stands
pretty firmly in a class by himself, but
Waddell and White also attained
heights any youngster would be glad
TO reach. With Waddell it was more of
a joke than anything else, but his rec
crd is so fine-his ability too pro-

nounced to be left out of line of hurl-
ers who have flashed a wonderful lot
of stuff.
It's hardly fair to say that Babe
Ruth is the games greatest left-hander
now, and it is equally unfair to say
that Ferdie Schupp of the Giants is
entitled to the palm Ruth has done
remarkably we'll against National
league pitching, but Schupp never has
had the chance to show what he could
do against the American league kind.
So there is no chance for comparison.
Doc White was one of the chief reas-
ons for the White Sox championship in
1906. He and Ed Walsh between them
made the Fielder Jones reputation
When the two of them departed from
American league ways championships
among the White Sox became very,
very scarce.
Waddell picked the Athletics UP al
most by his own bootstraps and he still
was going great when he Became a
member of the Browns. His gradual
decline until he found himself North
ern Lacquer was just as brilliant. He
never did anything that didn't sparkle.
His eccentricities and utter disregard
of training rules sent Kim to the min
ors and finally to his grave.
Undoubtedly honors among south
paws should be equally distributed be.
tween Plank and Waddell, both mem
bers of the Athletics when in their
prime.
