TEA ROOM
NOTES

The sandwich lady has invented a
new sandwich that she calls Sur
prise" The other night a party of
charming people from Dothan, Ala,
came into the Tea Room for supper
at rather late hour. There was a
social function in progress so Mr..
and Mrs. McCallum and the three
children were served in the small
dining room and they told the lady
servin gthStn what a joyful surprise
the Tea Room proved to them.
1t seems they were motoring from
North Carolina and thought they
would stop in Montezuma for the
night but the hotel was crowded so
they came on in momentary fear that
their supply of gas would be ex-
hausted. In Andersonville they were
fortunate enough to replenish the
gas, only to- find when they reached
Americas that the Windsor could not
furnish room and they consider
ed themselves very lucky to find quar-
tiers at the Sumter Hotel and surprise
sandwiches awaiting them in the Tea
Room. And now we find that they
live next door to Fred Hollis in
Dothan and they volunteered to
spread the joyful tiding of the Amer
icus Tea Room all the way home.
Another turkey supper was served
at the Tea Room Wednesday evening
this time, the guests were the men
of Calvary Episcopal church. They
had music and addresses and a good
fellowship time and smoke.
So many big affairs have been Civ
en- at the Tea Room lately that we
feel sure the church building will
be materially helped and Lula, the
cook, was heard to say that the Tea
Room would buy "Burick soon!
Ell. Kiker. of Cordele, was among
the diners at the Tea Room this
week.

STATE SAFETY BOARD IS
TANGLED ON SALARIES
Auditor Asks Opinion on Question of
Members Filling Two
Positions.

Doubt of the validity of the state
safety board act so far as payment OF
additional salaries is concerned was
raised this week by an opinion Of the
attorney general holding against al
lOwance of extra compensation grant
ed c. H. Younger, state labor CON-
missioner, and James Bagley, state
mine inspector. as advisory members
of the state safety board.
While the salary provision for the
two members of the state safety
Clausen, state auditor, has asked the
attorney general for a ruling as to
whether they do not also come under
the prohibition of officers benefiting
by increased salaries for the term of
Office running when the increase was
granted. Martin Flyzik and DR.. ]. s.
Kloeber, members of the medical aid
commission, also constitute the safe
| ty board. Flyzik is still serving his
appointive term as medical aid COM
missioner and DR.. Kloeber is filing
out the unexpired term of Alex Pol
son in the same capacity. AS medical
aid commissioners their compensation
is fixed at limit of $1,000 a year,
while as safety board members it is
raised to $500 a month.
While confident that the distinc.
ton drawn in the act between medi-
cal aid and safety board service would
be found valid Clausen' said that
contrary ruling OF the supreme court
would suspend operations of the safe
ty board and in preparation for this
district boards have recently been or
ganized and examinations held for
the appointment of Is field deputies,
each at $500 a month. Six district
board members have been appointed
at $500 a year. each board with Sec
retaries and other assistants. If the
state safety board is unable to func-
ton all the auxiliary jobs will be
worthless as the district boards are
left without motive power with the
state board out of business.

HOW THE REDS DO BUSINESS.

The Russian Bolsheviki took over
pulp mill and after running it for
a week without technical or expert
guidance found they could not oper-
ate it. They therefore sent delega
ton to another mill nearby. To the
director and his assistants they pro-
posed that they should come over
and operate the Red mill. This the
director and his aides refused to do.
Very WE'LL" said the delegation.
1--WE will come again tomorrow"
That night two of the engineers
were murdered.
On the second visit the Reds found
the directing heads still obdurate.
And that night two more of them
were murdered.
When the delegation made its
third call the director and his engi
neers, now frightened, agreed to run
the mill for the Reds. And for three
months they devoted their skill to
running the business. At the end of
that time the Bolshevists learned
that anti-Bolshevist troops were ap
preaching. The Bolshevists fed. but
not before numbering the entire en-
cheering staff and destroying the
mill.-The Nations Business.

in the various communities. Each
person who received pen guaran-
teed to return, after the first year, 20
fowls in payment for the original 10
heus or pullets furnished him, Those
20 standardized fowls, together
with two selected male birds, we're
divided into two pens and the next
year were given under the same con-
ditions to two additional club men,

the plan was the continuance of this

an effort to establish for themselves
a business or side line that will add
to their incomes as individuals and
likewise increase the prosperity of
the community.
In such promising localities, the
first step in organization usually is
to get the support of local business
men. In small towns many business
men own farms and consequently are
interested in agriculture, which in
turn benefits the various lines of
business. At the same time their
assistance is helpful in financing the
association. nj fact this is frequent
ly accomplished by inducing the
business mems association to con-
tribute suitable fund for standard
bred stock which is to be distributed

ISOLATION. Cooperation of that kind
is usually obtained easily If the busi-
ness men are shown the advantages
of the organization and how the in
creased prosperity eventually will
benefit them.
Another plan that has proved to
be satisfactory in Overton county
Tenn, is direct financial assistance
from the banks. In this case the
banks advanced $1,000 to be invest
ed in breeding pens through the CO.
operation of the poultry club agent
and the county agricultural agent.
Each pen consisted of 10 hens or
pullets and a mael bird which cost
on an average $3.50 a bird. The
pens were placed with club members

began to hear the expression Square

to general and very popular use and
continued so for some time, q sort by
expression fitting many occasions?
You will also remember, that Mr..
Roosevelt originated this expression
and it came into general use as q ma
ural maxim, because he made. it the
key note in SO many of his public ut
terances.
Now, that expression backed up rs
it has been by the virile living Of the

evils in this country, for after all the

HIS WAS A CLARION VOICE

It is hard to measure the influence
of the Roosevelt ideals Of patriotism
citizenship and craftsmanship on the
public and private life of the United
States, for the past is or 20 years, a
transition period in the political life
of the country.
Mainly due to his influence and
leadership there has been a mighty
change. New and better ideals have
come into the lives Of the people and
these ideals have been the fruitful
seed of saner living.
In public life perhaps the greatest
changes have been wrought, in the
overturning of a lot Of special privil-
ege, graft, political corruption and
general political cussedness in high
and low places.
In this crusade for honesty and the
square deal" in public life as well as
in private dealing Mr.. ROOsevelt'G
voice has ever been raised as clar-
ion note.
And for these things his country
men will long remember him.
Baxter Springs news., 1919-01-10

The evident contempt of Mr.. Roose-
velt eor the present administration
war attitude before war was declared
and in the midst of the chaos that
ruled in high places for some time at
ter the declaration was made mani
fest in his writings and public utter
ances and called forth much harsh
criticism from friends Of the admin
istration.
This clashing was natural, however
and the inevitable consequence OF the
situation the country was in.
Many people went so far in theii
excited state of mind to declare Co..
onel Roosevelt was a traitor to his
country, a prO-German in his attitude
toward the government, etc.
Of course such twaddle hardly de-
serves notice.
Colonel Roosevelt was a real mill
tant warrior in spirit and no dOub'
was thoroughly disguised with the
dilly daily and refusal to prepare fOl
the threatening storm.
