The Public Mind

ut is not the policy OF The Times
Recorder to publish or pay any at
tention to letters for publication to
which no names are signed, although
it does not insist that names be pub
lished. However, here is an anony-
nous communication that is very much
in line with criticism that has been
heard at numerous times and places
about the city, and its publication may
serve good purpose.)
Editor Recorder: AS The
Times-Recorder is the best way to
reach the people of Americas. l as
asking the privilege of using it as a
medium Of expression.
Americas, to us, is the incest place
in the United States, and I think we
realize that Souther Field is its great
est asset.
The soldiers of Souther Field are
going to begin to leave for their homes
in the next few weeks. What are they
going to say about Americas when
they go? They are either going to
say that it is a hospitable progressive
town or they are going to say that it
| is snobbish, slow town
So far, am sorry to say, the Off
GERS of Souther Field have been shown
preference in regard to social affairs
The non-coms and privates have been
partly left out.
About week ago the X. of C. hall
was opened. Three dances have been
held there; the first two were sue
cessful and, in a measure, so was the
last one. The soldiers were pleased,
and for illustration l will try to quote
the exact words of sergeant present:
Il didn't realize that the Americas
people were so nice; l don't think
l understood them at first The old
proyerb that first impressions are
lasting does not go with me any
more, for if I had been discharged
two weeks ago, just the word 'Ameri-
Gus would have left a bad taste in my
mouth"
However, at the dance last Tuesday
night there were rumors that the next
dance would be given for the officers
or cadets. There were expressions of
disapproyal from many of those pres
ent. These were heard by many of us
as the couples danced by.
! When our boys of Souther Field de-
part for their homes a few weeks
hence, we want them to think that
next to their own home towns, Ameri-
Gus is the finest place in the United
Estates.
! Let us crowd into the next few
weeks all the good times possible, for
privates, non-coms and commissioned
officers. Let us work together for the
whole, instead of for an individual
class.
! Let the K of C. dances continue to
be given for all and plan other enter
tainments for other nights.
ONE WHO HAS THE WELFARE OF
AMERICUS AND THE SOLDIERS
OF SOUTHER FIELD AT HEART.

In scrutinizing the opponents of
the League of Nations, Mr.. Heflin
found among them every Ger.
man agent and every citizen of our
country who was in sympathy with
Germany" as well as newspapers
friendly to Germany during the
war and which were denied the use
Of the mails because of reasonable
articles" Added to these, the
congressman saw "the munition
and gun makers of the United
States who were selling billions of
dollars worth of their products to
our government and allies" who,
he said, were aiding the propagan.
da, because If the League of Ma
tions is defeated war will be. az

ON the globe will begin at once to

horrors of war, for praying for

cr knew time when they were more
determined to put down mob rule,
whether aimed at black or white, than
now. Many of the leading papers OF
the South are speaking out as never
before against all forms Of injustice and
unfairness to the colored race.
I'VE, North and South, should make

his life unhampered by any untoward

to buy farm and a dorg in Arkansas and set
tie down to farming, fishing fiddling and hunt

change of climate, and he got it by resigning
his job as editorial writer in Miami and travel

forth as editor and publisher of the Daily Cush-
ing News-iust like that, with the Daily in

Stop Itching Skin

There is one safe, dependable treat:
ment that relieves itching torture and
skin irritation almost instantly and
that cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 35cor 81 bottle
ofZemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little Zemo, the penetrating, salts.
flying liquid, is all that is needed, for it
banishes most skin eruptions, makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy.

LIKES THE ARDMOREITE
From the Bokchito News


The News is now receiving the Daily
Ardmoreite, a leading democratic paper
of the right stripe. Its editorial page
is daily filled with Simon-pure demo
cratic principles, advocating Jeffer'
sonian ideas and unity of purpose. Be
sides that interesting part of the paper,
The Ardmorete contains the telegraph
news from all parts of the world. 1t
also gives the news from every nook
and corner Of the state. 1t supports
our splendid state administration,
stands by President Wilson, and strong
ly advocates the election of Scott Fer
ris to the United States senatorship
and Charlie Carter to the lower house
of congress. All of which the Ard
moreite is right in, and has the right
to do. The Ardmoreite is a great state
paper and we thank Colonel Love, the
very able editor, that we receive 1t
promptly every day.
