BEST YET ISSUED HERE.-CON-
TAINS. MANY HANDSOME Illus
TRATIONS.

The Who's Who in Sumter Coun=
ty" edition of The Americus Tines
Recorder will be circulated next Sun
day morning.
The work of preparing the edition
has been most arduous and, being
performeda entirely by regular em-
ployees of the paper, has resulted in
some delay in its issuance. 1t is now
assured. however, that the big paper
will be circulated Sunday morning,
and every precaution will be taken
to insure the proper reaching all sub
scribers promptly and it's entirety.
The Times-R Recorder, however, will
not be responsible for copies claimed
to have been lost There will be
competent person at the Office Sunday
morning to direct the boys upon their
DEPARTURE to deliver the papers, and
watchers will be stationed at desig-
mated points to cheek the delivery to
subscribers. This is all the manage
ment can do to see that subscribers
get their paper, and those who miss
will be required te pay ten cents for
each copy of the big edition secured
at this Office There have bsen
number of extra copies prepared, and
these will be available for those de-
string extra copies at the price pre-
viously stated,
The edition is one of the historic
and present-day value, prepared at
large expense to the Infringement, and
in which the hearty cooperation of
practically every resident of Ameri-
Gus was extended Therefore, the
Times-Recorder feels that the paper
will serve a useful purpose, both ad-
vertising Americus and Sumter eoun-
ty and preserving for the information
of future residents here the records
of thoes who have helped make the
city and county what they are today.

Allies Approve Note.

LONDON, Oct.f 25.-It is under
stood that President wilson's note to
germany is approved by the allies
and represents in a general sense
their views of the situation. 1t has
been enormously assumed that the
allies have been leaving tn brunt OF
negotiations to fall upon Mr.. Wilson,
but as matter of fact, when the
central powers elected to approach
one of the belligerents singly, the
others stood aside in the preliminary
stages of the negotiations.
Now that the president has con-
sented to submit the request for an
armistice to the other belligerents,
there ID no qustion hat individual
acion will Civ place to definitely
concerted conduct of the situation,
and that the recommendation of the
allies naval and military commanders
will constitute the joint terms of the
associated powers.

Meatless Days Great Success,
Declares Hoover.
40 Million Pounds of Beef
Saved in Four Months.

Washington. Feb. 22.-Meatless days
in the United States have saved 140,-
900, 900 pounds of beef in four m onths,
the food administration announced to-
day. During this period 165, 000,0 900
pounds of beef were exported to the
allies, together with 400,000,0Oo
pounds of pork products.
The figures were made public in a
statement explaining why the food ad-
ministration refused requests of cat
tie and sheep growers to remove beef,
mutton and lamb from the conserva-
ton rules with regard to meatless day.
The administration again - declared
that meatless day was established for
the purpose of enabling the United
States to feed the allies by saving on
meat consumption.
TT is desirable to bear in mind
said Mr. Hoover today, that meatless
days are simply for the purpose of
enabling US to feed the allies by saw
ing on our meat consumption, they
place the burden of saving on those
classes most able to do so."---

THE BOND MARKET.

Preparations will soon be in order
for the next liberty loan; in fact they
have already commenced in one form,
thru regular weekly issue of treasury
certificates which may later be ex-
changed for bonds. In this connec-
ton the most significant development
was the fall in second liberty As to
$40, the lowest price on record.
The decline" says Henry Clews,
was evidently due to liquidation, and
selling by financial institutions and
others n order to facilitate subscrip-
tons for the next issue; also in part to
the fear of a possible prolongation of
the wa The declines in these bonds
will not cause The slight est uneasiness
There - not the smallest doubt about
American credit and these bonds are
beyond question the best the world
affords. But even the strongest secur-
tiles available must in time obey the
memorable dictates of economic law
Demand is not keeping pace with
supply. interest rates are steadily ad-
vancing; consequently even liberty
bonds must adjust themselves to mar
ket conditions"
While the decline in the price of
liberty Londs may cause no uneasi-
ness, it must necessarily have a bad
effect on subscriptions to the next
offering and is likely to force the gov
eminent to advance the interest rate
to a considerable extent. Subscribers
actuated by motives OF self interest
rather Than patriotism may not feel
like putting their money into securities
which might have to be parted with
at sacrifice IN an emergency.
Recently liberty As have been show
ing an upward tendency, indicating
probably that something is being done
in the direction of restoring them to
par before the time for offering a
