StereOtyped Loyalty.

A man came to US the other day
and wanted us to sign loyalty pledge
One of those men who are always try
ing to engraye the public mind on
community scratch pad with neigh
borhood lead pencil. 1t can't be done
1t didn't seem to occur to him that
man might sign a dozen loyalty pledges
a day and go out and plant a bomb at
night, if he chooses.
If a relative dies and we're sorry. it
takes neither crepe nor tear to let the
neighbors know it. And all the
mourning in the world won't keep the
neighbors from knowing it, If we're
not.
Loyalty pledges don't mean thing.
Not thing. Let's take ourselves a
little more calmly and rely on our
natural intelligence to discern the true
state Of affairs after this.
Some folks can't do anything with
out brass band.

Every pupil, forty-four in all, of

deavor to raise small food crop.
This is a splendid move by this
country school and one that a lar

IN COMMAND OF
THE u. S. NAVY

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %
What has come to him he has won
hard work always"
That is what the navy department
thinks of Admiral William Shepherd
Benson, chief of naval operations, pres
ident of the general board OF the navy,
and the one man. above all others, up
on whom rests the success or failure
of the feet.
When congress recently wrote into
the law that Admiral Benson's or
ders were to be considered as ema-
mating from the secretary of the navy
and have full force and effect as such, y
1t showed what II thought of him.
The chief of operations is truly a
Southern gentleman. He was born on
a small plantation in the heart of Geor-
gia in 1855, and has carried with him
throughout his brilliant career the best
traditions of the Old South.
Tall. spare, with most courtly
bearing and a full white mustache,
much like his predecessor, Admiral
Dewey, the admiral presents most
distinguished appearance. His rise has
been meteoric during the past few
years.
His first cruise as captain OF bat
tleship was in 1918, when he piloted
the Utah to the feet pennant. He then
assumed command of the Philadelphia
navy yard, where he did his Bit with
such great labor and. excellence" as
to be called to, Washington in 1915
when man was sought to create anc
take charge of the new vital office Of
naval operations.
Admiral Benson is not a man giver
! to epigrams, especially those OF tht
first person. Il" seldom falls from hi:
r. Its. If he can me induced to admit
his services in Washington have me
with fair success" the admiral vii
Immediately impress it upon you tina
it is solely owing to the loyalty ant
cooperation Of his associates. This
what his brother officers say of thu
; present ranking officer of the Unite'
States navy:
This is the happy warrior. This il
he whom every man in arms woul'
wish to be.

When history records the conduct of
people and nations since the summer
of 1914 until the time the war ends,
she will have amassed more real ac-
ton than the history of the world re-
cords, excluding the life of Christ.
The people fail to realize the whirl in
which they live. This is one which
makes it sure that the world is head

FOR BETTER SERVICE.

The people of Americas and this sec
ton of the state convenient to the
Central of Georgia railway have rea-
son to thank the Southern railway for
their new schedule between Macon and
Atlanta. which allows quicker service
between this section and Atlanta dur
ing the day. The local Central OF
Georgia train leaving Americas at
6 40 a. m. will arrive in Macon in time
for the new connection provided by
the Southern putting the passenger in
Atlanta at 1870 p. m.
The request for Encouragement OF
some kind whereby better service could
be given was forwarded to the Central
OF Georgia officials 1t came tt
naught, but the Southern was quick tc
meet the demands of the public fol
better service.
Although the Southern does not come
to Americas, their closest point being
Fort Valley, the public appreciates
their interest which will return
through increased patronage.
