ON LINTERS
As War MEASURE
MILLS HAVE RECENTLY INCREAS-

NEARLY ALL OF WHICH GO INTO
MUNITIONS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22-The
practicability Of standardizing cotton
linters is being Investigated by the
department of agriculture.
This step was decided upon owing
to the increasing weight of linters be-
ing used in the manufacture of muni-
tions of war There is now a great
demand for this class of cotton, and
oil mills which produce linters as a
by-product, have increased their cut
ting from fifty TO about a hundred
and fifty pounds to the ton of seed.
Practically the whole production of
linters is now being used in the manu-
facture of munitions. being purchased
by the government.

that the nation would fight to the end
III the event Germany attempted to
force such terms upon Russia.

HOLIDAY TRADE:
GOOD HERE; ALL
STORES BUSY
WITH ONLY ONE MORE SHOPPING
DAY BUSY BUYERS THRONGED
STREETS AND SHOPS HERE SAT-
URDAY.

Saturday was a good day with the
Americus merchants.
Mr.. and Mrs Lateshopper were busy
or the job and all day clerks were
kep& busy attending to their wants.
Business was good in all lines.
Every business house in the city
did large volume of businessmen
the non-advertisers got few extra
dimes and nickels during the day. The
advertisers found their places crowd
ed all day long The throng was "a
merry one, too. Shoppers were not
too exacting, and business was done
as it should.
Men, women, children, old maids,
widows and giddy girls were among
those shopping during the day, and
sll were liberal spenders The purse
strings were opened for the occasion
and when night came many went to
their homes with their wants salts
fed and their shopping finished.
The gift-givers probably formed a
majority of those of the streets dur
ing the day, and establishments hand
ling gift lines did rushing business.
There were, probably, more useful
gifts purchased this year than ever
before. The dry goods and other
establishments did their full share of
business, and all look to Monday as
day filed with business. Shoppers
will be on the job, and if past years
are to be taken as criterion-they
will be there until the last store
closes its doors on Christmas Eve
night.
