GERMAN PRISONER
Once LIVED HERE
Private William Farr Tells Of
Unusual Experience at Front

Miss Mamie Farr of Lasalle street
has received a. letter from her brother,
Private William Farr of Go. E, 102nd
U. S. Infantry, in which he tells of
taking part in the great drive and
who used to live on Sexton street.
The letter follows
Sept Is, France.
Dear sister:
''Well, we have been at it again
and believe me, we went at it right
as you all know by this time, so there
isn't much for me to tell. We started
this drive and we started it good. We
are now only a few miles from the
German border and by the time you
get this we will be on it. We have
captured over 100 French towns that
have been in the hands of the Ger
mans for the past four years and we
were the first of the Allies to get into
these towns in four years. Not only
that but also, our company was in the
lead. We had four days to make our
point and we made it in eight hours
That's going some We captured
some few thousand prisoners, horses,
wagons, rolling kitchens, auto trucks

"One fellow in our company met a
prisoner he had worked with for two
years back in old New Britain. He
used to live on Sexton street. We
have not received any mail lately on
account of the drive. The last one 1
got from you I received on September
10 and as you mailed it on April 10
you can see how long it took to get
here.
We'll sis, you can just about count
on us to be home by spring and from
the way things look now we may eat
our Christmas dinner there. Let's
hope so, anyway. This is the rainy
month of the year in France and has
got April weather beat mile.

and we saw some French women who
had been held prisoners for four
years and they did not know that the
Americans were fighting. We were

modest woman does not care what we
say about the dress of the immodest,
and We don't care what the immodest
say about us. But there is a sad and
solemn fact like this The women
who pose as social or church leaders
should be very careful, for it is upon
them rests the modesty of the coming
generation of girls. If the younger
generation sees supposedly leading
woman with skirts about half way
to her knees very naturally the
youngster does not think it very
Wong to go about half naked herself,
Modesty is the greatest attribute that
our women have, and when they pawn
it to pander after the styles that
bring question our future womanhood
is thing that a public journal should
take up. 1t is as much our business
to protest against the women dress
inb immodestly as it would be for
us to protest against profanity being
used in their presence, and we have
yet to find one modest woman OBJ
jecting to it. Rob the Southern wo-
men of their modesty and we are
poor indeed, and five inch skirts lead

A PUBLIC SERVICE.

The American Sugar Refinery has
just spent an enormous sum, not less
than a hundred thousand dollars, in
advertising reasons for the sugar
scarcity.
This advertising was not intended
particularly to promote the interests
of the company, nor to popularize
with the eating public any especial
brand of sugar, but served almost
solely to explain why sugar IS short
and high
1t was an advertising appropriation
periodically made, and it has un-
doubtedly accomplished splendid
purpose. The Times Recorder itself
has read the advertising statements
with interest and profit, and we are
sure that the readers of our paper
also have a clearer understanding of
the facts which caused such confusion
and uncertainty in the sugar sup
ply.
Without reviewing in detail the ex-
plantations of the American Sugar Re-
fnery Company, the fact stands out
that sugar is scarce because there are
not enough ships to transport it from
the producing countries, because of
strikes in the refinery, because a lar
ger supply than ever before has been
sent to Europe for the soldiers and
the Allied nations, and because the
home consumption has been heavily
increased. Principally, though the
lack of ships, which absolutely pre-
vents the transportation Of sugar
from Java, has contributed to pres
ent conditions
1t is certain that but for the exer-
else of the powers of the food admin
istration, in fixing a maximum price
and regulating the distribution and
sales, sugar today would be even
scarcer, and would be bringing prob
ably twenty-five cents a pound Al
most any wellformed jobber will
agree with that statement.
The sugar refinery company is per-
forming a public service in enabling
the people to learn the why's and
wherefores concerning the sugar sit
uatiOn.

Aviation Rase For Americus.


Congressman Crisp has secured forl

base which will bring miIlions>of dol
lars OF government money to that
county Seventy machines and about
1000 men will be sent there to begin
with. This base will bS located about
four miles from Americas There
will be three unit aviation fields and
the cost will be about two and one
half or three million dollars.
All this has come through the eff
forts of Congressman Crisp, and we
congratulate him and the city Of
Americas and Sumter county on this
splendid achievement We feel espe-
cially interested as our attachment
is yet strong for our old home town.
We first saw the light of day in old
Americns-well, some few years ago
and the fond recollections of child
hood and schoolboy days are still en-
ed away there ever and anon to be
called up to remind US of the halcyon
days of our youth. The old school
days when discipline was preserved
with peach tree switches and hickory
| limbs, where the blue-back spelling
book, Smiths grammar and Robin
sons arithmetic were drilled into us
| in such way as you would never for
get, which makes us think sometimes
that some of the old ways, at least,
were the best. We remember when
the hero of the school was the boy
who could lick any boy of his age or
within ten pounds Of his weight. A
great many of us had to go barefoot
ed summer and winter, and wore
| clothes made of "daddy's" old ones.
/ We remember the old home place on
/ the hill surrounded by acres Of rocky
land where we used to keep our big
| toe freshly stumped" and had al
most a perpetual stonebruise Bet
ter than any moving picture is the

| fore our mental vision portraying the
wonderful events of childhood's hap
piest days-Editor T. L. Bailey, in
