Secretary Lansing is expected to

The Secretary of State was to be

It was suggested that Thomas w.
Lamont, of J. P. Mongan & Co., an
other of President Wilson's chief adj
visors in financial and economic mat
tiers with which the peace conference
was concerned. would follow Baruch.
It was Secretary Lansing who pro-

Speechmal1ing on the treaty was ex-

he was now engaged.
Other Senators, like Borah, Repub-

FAIR OFFICERS
WARN DISTRICTS
TO RAISE FUNDS

Announcement was made today to
the committees in the various dis
tricts of Sumter county who were
named by the Sumter County Fair
Association to raise their respective
quotas of the fund $4,000 required
to pay the premium list and other
expenses of holding the fair this fall,
that those districts which fail to
raise their quotas will be disqualified
from participating in the district
prizes offered, which aggregate $400.
The information was sent out over
the signature of the officers of the
fair association, previous to the start
ing out this afternoon of six com
mittees of business men of the 9th
district to raise this districts quota
of $1,000. The AmeriCus district
has been one Of the laggards with
its quota, very little work having
been done up to this time in raising
the money fixed for it. However,
the committees were to make siren
uous effort to raise the amount to-
day.
1t was said that only two militia
districts in the county have raised
the amounts assessed them-the 28th
and 29th districts. In some districts
practically nothing has been done.
However, the officers are confident
that the necessary fund will be forth
coming at once and are going ahead
with their plans on that assumption.
The continued rains and consequent
accumulation of farm work are realiz-
ed as conditions that have made it
difficult for farmers to give any time
to the matter up to this time. How
ever, the date of the fair is fast ap-
preaching, and the officers say that
action must be had at once.
The interest in the fair is said to
be very general, and County Agent
Marshall reports that indication point
to one of the finest live stock ex-
hibits ever seen in Georgia outside
of the two large fair. Exhibitors in
other lines are also laying plans to
compete for the generous prizes
which have been offered.
1t was stated today that the prem
ium list, which was published almost
complete in the Times-Recorder a
few weeks ago, will be printed in
pamphlet form for distribution in
a few days.

TEST SHOWS AMERICUS
WATER PURE AND SAFE

City Engineer Ansley has received
from the state board of health a re-
port of the analysis of the Americus
city water, archaeological examina-
ton of which twice yearly is requir-
ed. Tests were mare of two sam
pies, one from the spring flow and
one from the reservoir. The spring
water showed two bacteria of all
kinds and the other sample so,
whereas $50 are permitted under the
classification of pure water. The
tests for the bacteria, coli, the harm
full variety, showed none.
"The samples from both sources
give good results" wrote Ray c.
Werner, director of the state water
laboratory, who made the test, "and
indicate that the waters are safe for
purposes"

MALARIA MOSQUITO
ABSENT THIS SEASON

Notice any mosquitoes these even
ings about bedtime and thereafter?
Yes, they do seem fairly active and
vigorous, but Lieut.. w d. Tiede-
man, mosquito expert of the U. S.
department of public health here,
says they are not of the malaria car
rying variety, and are therefore not
dangerous.
"The mosquitoes common here as
result Of the unusual wet PERIOD"
said he, "are the culex variety,
which makes plenty of noise and
bites hard, but carries no disease.
There are practically no anopheles
mosquitoes, which carry the malaria
germ, in this locality now They are
distinct variety, and give less
warning when they are about. How
ever, even if they were present there
would be little danger now, for they
merely transmit the malarial germ
from one human being % another,
and as there is almost no malaria in
locality there would be nothing for
them to carry.
"The presence of so many mos
iuitoes now is due to the unusual
rains, which have filled cans, bottles
and other receptables in back yards
and such places, forming excellent
breeding places which we cannot
combat"

fastest and snappiest games played
on the Albany diamond this season
went to the Albany club in the elev-
enth inning yesterday afternoon.
Amcricus was the opposing club. 1t
was beautiful pitchers duel from
start to finish with Slappey, the

one run, just enough to tie the
score, had been registered. In the
second extra session Albany managed
to get man on third and when
Welch rolled one down to Parsons the
man on third was safe at home when
Gardner dropped the ball after he
had the runner by good margin and

ACTION FOLLOWS
KICKS OF PARENTS
Lads to Be Subject to
Arrest Under Act
Planned

The boys and young men of Amer
icus under 21 years of age are to be
kept out of the pool halls of Amer
icus. That was decided last night at
a meeting of the city council, and
that body is going about the matter
in a different way than has been at
tempted heretofore-and in man
ner that promises better results.
The action Of the council, which
was in the form of instruction to the
ordinance committee to draw an ordi-
nance in accordance with an out
lined plan, resulted from numerous
complaints from parents which have
come to various city officials of late.
Yesterday Mayor Sheppard informed
the various pool hall proprietors
that the police department had been
ordered to make cases against them
for every violation of the present
state law which makes it an offense
for them to permit minors to play
pool in these places.
Law Inadequate.
Following receipt of this notice, V.
H. Gaines, proprietor of one of the
pool rooms, informed Mayor Shep-
pard that he was very anxious to
comply with the law, and always had
been, but that the law was made
quate, resulting in the pool hall men
being imposed upon continuously.
Why don't you pass an ordinance
prohibiting these minors from com
ing into the pool halls?" Mr.. Gaines
asked.
And that is exactly what the
Council now proposes to do. When
the new ordinance is drawn and is
passed it will be unlawful for any lad
under Fl years of age to enter pool
nall And it is the plan of the city
officials to see that the ordinance is
strictly enforced.
One well-known mother of a lad
OF l8 or thereabouts, who was in a
hurry the other morning for some
articles for use about the household,
sent her son uptown to purchase the
article for use about the household,
~ as he could. She gave him money
10 pay for the article. After wait
ing a considerable time without hear
ing from him she herself went up
town, where she met her husband.
Her Money Spent.
Where is -?" she asked.
i don't know" he replied, "but
some time ago I saw him 90 into
the pool hall with several boys"
The mother went to the pool hall
and found him still there playing, but
with the money she had given him
for the purchase entirely spent at
the game.
This incident is said to be but an
example of the complaints of nu-
merous parents. No accusation has
been brought against the conduct of
the pool halls, which officials say are
orderly and as clean and well kept as
such places usually are. However,
many parents want their boys kept
out Of such places, and the city of
Meals feel that they have reached the
solution when they make the boys
themselves liable to arrest and prose-
cut1on the minute they set foot inside
the pool hall door.

Embroidery an Old Art

Embroidery is supposed to be one Of
the earliest domestic arts. for 1t Is
argued that 1t must have been EN-
ployed for decorative purposes very
soon after sewing was invented. This
would place 1t long before the art of
weaving was discovered and back in
the days when the skins Of animals
were the only material for clothing
that existed. The earliest known spec
linens of embroidery, however. are
some fragments discovered in Egypt,
and the earliest of these is supposed
TO have been made about the fifteenth
century 3. G. Naturally materials of
this kind disappear very rapidly, and
1T Is only in very dry climate like
Egypt. with It's sandy soil, that fab
RIGS suitable for embroidery could sur
