MPROMlsE on
POLICE SYSTEM

As the result of conference be-
tween the city council and the mem
bers of the police commission, com
promise has been effected in the mat
ter of the proposed change in the po-
tlice system of Americus.
Two weeks ago at the regular meet
ing of the city council, it was decided
to ask the present state legislature to
change the charter of the city of Amer
icus so as to provide for the election
of the chief of police by the city coun-
Gil, instead of by the police commits
sion as. at present. The proposed
change also included the consolida-
tion of the offices of the chief of po-
lice and city marshal
After same discussion of the mat
ter and mutual agreements by the
aldermen and members of the police
commission, it has been decided to
abandon the plan to change the charter
as previously lntended.
The new plan is to amend the char
ter so as to provide for the election of
the police officers annually, instead OF
biennially, and for their employment
by the month, so that inefficient Off
GERS may be removed at the end of any
month The offices of the chiefsef po-
lice and city marshal are to kept sepa-
rate and distinct.
A joint committee of the city coun-
ell and the police commission will
superintend the drafting of bill, the
passage of which will amend the city
charter in the manner desired.

BRITISH CLOSE
in On BIG GOAL
FIELDS OF LENS


NEW YROK, June 27.-( Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day)r-While Gen
eral Haig's. forces are closing in sc
closely upon Lens that the capture by
the British of this important center
and the adjacent coal fields seems i'm
minent, there is some question as tC
whether the British operation is TO be
accompanied by a French offensive
movement on like scale. While Hais
and Petain have recently been jockey
ing for position along the Aisne and
Champagne fronts, particularly the
former, it appears that the German
activities are merely efforts to choke
off any possible general movement by
the French. Gen. Petain's occasional
strokes give the impression, however
that he is merely trying to preserve
certain vantage points at present with
tie idea of resuming his offensive at
some future time
1t is evident today that the Entente
Allies intend to have convened the
Greek parliament which was dissolv-
ed unlawfully, it is alleged, by King
Constantine in May. 1915. This parlia-
ment was controlled by venezelists.

HARRIS WARNS CONSUMERS
TO BUY NO COAL IN SUMNER

ATLANTA, Ga. June 27.-Don't buy
your coal at the present time. while
prices are high; wait until the govern
rnent takes charge of the production
and distribution of coal and fixes prices
at cost of production, plus a fair profit
That is the advice of William ]. Har-
ris, chairman of the federal trade COM
mission, who is in Atlanta to make an
investigation of the coal situation in
this state and the southeastern terri
tory generally.
THE mine operators are respensi-
BILE for present prices" declares Chair
man Harris, who, by the way,sis a
Georgian and former state senator
''They have manufactured the talk
about labor shortage and car shortage,
thereby creating condition of panic
in the coal market and forcing prices
out of the reach of the majority of the
buying public There is no justiica-
tion for the present outrageous prices.
The federal trade commission has rec
commended that congress provide au-
thority for the government to take over
the production of coal, allowing opera
tors the cost of production, plus a
fair profit, and | confidently believe
that this will be done in the next few
weeks"

With recruiting week" half gone, war
department officials estimated today
that the United States regular army
is still more than $4,000 men short OF

Officials, however, hope for greater
recruiting activity during the next
taree days, during which it is planned
to bring the regular establishment to
its complete war quota. A compilation
of recruiting returns at noon today
shows nine states have already furnish
ed their quota of the volunteers re-
CURED by the terms of the presidents
proclamation, or more, while eight
others have furnished less than Is per
cent of their quota, twenty others less
than fifty per cent. of their quota, and
six have failed to furnish as much as
twenty-five per. cent. of the number all
lotted them Of the Southern states,
Georsia has furnished fifty-nine per
ment. of its quota of volunteer enlist
ments, Florida siXty-ive per cent. and
South Carolina twenty-five per cent,
all these figures being exclusive of ma
tional guard enlistments.

SAVING AS A FINE ART
Family Thrift Is Almost Unknown
Quantity in the Average Ameri-
can Household.

The true art Of saving is in know
ing how to spend our money.
Mr.. Micawber's advice to David
COpperfield was sound: "Never spend
above your income"
Family thrift is almost an unknown
quantity in the average American
household.
Men are famous for their generosity
and our women run their households
on the same generous scale.
AS the income grows larger little ex-
travagances creep in imperceptibly-
little luxuries of no great moment
seemingly at the time of their indulg-
ence-and so the increased income is
offset.
Every sane man and woman wants
to save. We know that it is our only
insurance against the future.
No matter how we'll things are going
at the present moment, every family
stands chance of experiencing "rainy
days." and we are wise if we take
means to meet them.
Sickness or loss of position has not
the same dread to the man or woman
who has a comfortable savings &C.
count tucked away in the bank, as it
has for the person who "spends as he
goes along"
Sickness or loss of position to the
latter is nothing short of tragedy.
OF course, there are thousands who
find the margin between wages and a
bare living exceedingly scant. It seems
next to impossible to save.
But there are few of us who could
not cut down our cost of living by
careful buying and elimination Of un-
necessary luxuries.
Anyway, it would do us no harm to
figure out our family budget a bit and
adopt the plan of saving certain per
cent of our income for future contin-
gencies.-Buffalo News.

Use Short Words.

A man who acts as tutor and COM
panion to a young boy, wrote this in
dorsement on one of the boys COM
positions: "Use short words-fol-
low the example of HoratiO Seymour.
This is part of his address delivered
by him to students in 1878: Short
words, like love, hate or zeal, have a
clear ring which stirs our minds Or our
hearts. They but tell of the joy or
grief, or rage or peace, of life or
death. They are felt by all, for their
terms mean the same thing to all men.
We learn them in youth; they are on
our lips through all our days, and we
utter them down to the close Of life.
They are the apt terms with which we
speak of things which are high or
great or noble. They are the grand
words Of our tongue they teach us how
the world was made. God said, Let
there be light and there was light"

San Luis Rey is one of the old ru-
