ALBANY OFFICIALS
Get SALARY RAISE

ALBANY, Ga, Jan. 17.-Owing to
the increased cost of living, the sala-
ries of number of city officials and
employees have ben increased by city
council for the ensuing year. Ad-
vances were granted the chief of po-
lice, chief of fire department, the men
in these departments, the superintend-
ent of water and lights, city treasurer
end other city employees.
The new city council, which is the
same as the old, members whose terms
expired having bene reelected, has
started 1918 with a comfortable bal
ance from last year, and with prospects
for another good year. Municipal
ownership of public utilities last year
received one of the most striking dem
onstrations of its value to the taxpay>
ers in the history of the city, which
for many years abs been leader in
this policy in Georgia. The water.
gas and electric light department es-
pecially, showed splendid returns dur

H. Tondee which sad event occurred
this morning at her home in Lump

House Resolution to Stop Order.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. IL
Protests against the fuel administra-
tion's order closing down industrial
plants began pouring into the white
house and congress today from all over
the country.
3 Business men everywhere are arous-
the prospect and object to its en-
Icrcement. Many suggested other rem
edies for the situation. One of these
suggestions is that the government
buy all coal consigned to suspended
industries, which it is estimated would
cost the government about $25000,000,
and that the various state fuel admin
istrations be charged with the duty
of re-distributing this coal among food
producing plants. Adoption OF this
plan, it is contended, would permit
other industries to continue in oper-
alton.

EVERYBODY Is SPECULATING ON
WHAT IT WILL MEAN TO THE
CITY-ARLES PLACE is PROBA.
BILE LOCATION.

Il The coimng of the aviation camp to
Americus is the big theme of comment
in the city now.
Everybody is speculating on what
il will mean to the city and county.
The exact site has not yet been de-
termined, but it is most likely that it
will be the Aries Plantation place,
with two two other sites for landing
stations, four miles apart. The gov
ernment favors the Aries property, but
on account Of the conditions attached
to it's requirement by the local COM
mittee an effort is being made to in
duce the government officials to ac-
cept the Methvin farm site.
1t will be necessary for the commit
tee to buy the Aries place outright,
while the Methvin tract may be leased.
The government will pay a rental of
ten to fifteen dollars per acre year
A dispatch from Washington today
says that there is no doubt that the
aviation officers will insist on locating.
the camp at the Aries plantation.
The site chosen is between the old
hndersonville road and the Dixie
Highway.
It is stated that it Will take 1900
workmen about six to eight weeks to
construct the camp. A special side
track must be laid, wells sunk the
ground cleared and electric wires
connected before the real work may
begin. AS soon as the site is definite
ly placed, the local committee will un-
dertake its responsibilities in he mat
ter of preparing the place, and then
the work of construction will start
The merchants are preparing for
larger business. Some of them ara
preparing to buy special goods for
sale to the men at the camp, while all
expect trade in general to be boosted
by the coming Of the camp.

MALTA'S BABIES.

Malta had lost all her kittens,
and she was very lonesome. She
hunted for them; called for them;
but they were not to be found.
She disappeared for a few days,
and when she returned she carried
something very carefully in her
mouth. She took 1t to the box in
the barn where her little ones had
been, and put 1t gently down. She
went away again and soon returned
with another little one like the
first.
The next week she took them in
to the garden. She thought she
would teach them to climb a tree,
but they needed no showing. Up
the tree they ran in a way Malta
had never seen kittens do. They
frisked and frolicked among the
branches until poor Malta grew
frightened.
A few weeks later the squirrels
which were Malta's kittens, left
good Mother Malta and went to
live in the old maple tree. Malta
watches them sometimes when she
lies down on the porch. Such
queer children she never saw!

4 Day to Remember

November II will long be remembered by the
people of the United States and the Allied nations.
1t is the day that brought victory for armies and
for the cause of democracy.
Your fathers and brothers and uncles have been
overseas fighting for the cause of democracy. De-
mocracy means giving everybody an equal chance
for food, home, education, happiness. Autocracy
means that part of mankind must serve favored
class.
The surrender of Germany means the victory of
democracy over autocracy. If you have copy of
the Palladium of November H. you had better put it
away among your treasures, for it has the first
news Of victory in it, with picture that you will
like to have when you are grown souvenir of
the victory our American men went overseas to win.
Next year and foor many years. November IL will
be remembered for the joy it brought to millions of
men and women and little children. When you are
an old man or old woman you will take pride in
recalling the incidents of Monday when the joy of
the people knew no bounds when no work was DONE
shops were closed, and old folk and young poured
forth into the streets to find way to express their
pent-up emotion.
