PROPOSITION

= The old city council wound up their
business at an adjourned meeting on
Tuesday evening, and the new coun-
Gil was organized after the newly
elected members had taken their
oath Of office.
Mayor Ingram was unable to be
present having suddenly been called
from the city by the injury to his
brother at Park Rapids.
The council organized by electing
John A. Brown as president, and A.

public health and C. F. Weeks, pound
master.
Joseph Ebensteiner was employed
with his team to sprinkle the streets,
the balance of his time to be at the
disposal Of the street commissioner.
The council did not fix the compen-
sation of any of the appointees as
they desired to confer with Mayor
Ingram and ascertain his ideas and
views before any action was taken.
Mayor Ingram has in mind the dis

a very short time when the council
will be convened and the matter
settled. Mr.. Ingram's letter to the
citizens follows herewith:

is the end OF the matter as far as the

Dodson said that a director In an
other State can give an order on a
distiiler In Maryland for the release
OF liquor in bond TO be taken out OF
Maryland and that he might never
learn OF the transaction. This was
the feature he condemned most
strongly and said that efforts are be-

RECORDS In War
Still UNFINISHED
Ex-Service Men Urged
To Supply Data On
Selves

The Americus and Sumter County
Red Cross Chapter has already COM
pleted the work of cataloguing activi-
ties of soldiers and sailors from this
county who served in the war with
Germany, and is now injecting re-
neWed effort into this work. Miss
Ruth Clark, secretary of the organi-
zatlon, is directing the work, and in
this she is being assisted by Stephen
Pace, chairman of the chapter. Cor
don Howell, commander of John D.
Mathis post, American Legion, has
also assisted in the effort to perfect
the records of Sumter soldiers and
sailors by appealing to these ex-
service men to submit correct data
upon which such records may be
based
Miss Clark, who has offices on the
second floor of the postoffice build
ing, has complete list of all those
who either volunteered or were
drafted from the county, and in some
instances as many as three letters
have been addressed to individuals
asking that they furnish the chapter
their war records without response.
Miss Clark is now engaged in an eff
fort to impress the Importance of
this work upon the public in the be-
lief that if ex-soldiers and sailors
can be brought to realize this, no
further trouble will be experienced
in completing the Individual records.
The information added is a simple
statement of the activities of each
soldier or sailor, though this may be
elaborated so as to include any in
cident of general interest. The Red
Cross chapter furnishes a blank upon
which the record should be sent in,
thus making the matter one of only
a few minutes. 1t is urged that every
former service man should readily
give that much of his time to the
task of compiling complete record
of Sumter county's participation in
the war.

Not Worried Over Threat
To Seize Oil For

BY MABEL ABBOT

PAWHUSKA, Okla, March 81
"a Bluff"
With all due Difference to Uncle
Sam, that is what people in this vi
tally interested little half-lndlan
capital of the Usage nation think
about the reported intention of the
government to seize oil from Usage
Indian lands to insure future sup
ply for the navy. -,
'"The navy couldn't use Usage oil
for fuel" the Indians say. ut ism t
suitable. If the government did take
it all it could do would be to trade
it for heavier oil, which could be
used.
"But if the government can say
to the big oil companies whose oil
it wants, Here; we are not depen-
dent on you for oil; we have 3d.
600. barrels day of our own, 1t
would have a good club to hold over
their prices"
There is a general disbelief here
that a seizure of lands or oil is
likely. Anyhow the leases giving
any government department option
to buy all specify that the purchase
shall be at the highest market price

Trips To Chicago For
Ga. School Club Winners

]. K. Giles, state club leader of
Georgia, and G. L. Noble, of Ar
mour's farm bureau, Chicago, have
recently prepared an agreement
whereby the champion pig grower,
the champion corn grower and the
champion beef grower of the state
of Georgia may win a $135 prize
trip to the International Live Stock
show held in Chicago next Decem-
Der.
The winners will be selected by
the authorities of the Georgia agri-
cultural college in charge of the
junior club work, at least three
members of the college staff pass
ing upon the records of the various
club members. The winners of the
prizes will be announced at least
three weeks before the International
takes place, and the prize money
for the trip will be distributed by
Mr.. Giles about two weeks before
the show. In order to receive this
money it will be necessary for the
winner to take the trip to Chicago
and prepare a brief story of his
or her experiences at the stock show.
Armour's farm bureau is offering
these prizes in the belief that the

ed With Industrial Con-
ditions In State

L. G. Council returned here this
morning from Atlanta, wnere he
went to meet his daughter, Miss

Easter holidays. Discussing his trip
this afternoon, Mr.. Council said he
was especially pleased with the re-
cent progress made by business in
every line throughout the sthte, and
especially with the recuperation of
the railroads, which were in a badly
demoralized condition when turned
back to their owners by the govern
ment.
"Freights are moving again" said
Mr.. Council, "and when sfreights
move promptly and in large volume
that spells prosperity for the nation.
Only few weeks ago it was abso-
lutely impossible to get shipments of
any description, but this is changed
now, and 1 was especially impressed
with conditions as | found them in
Atlanta. | am of the opinion that
after period of almost worldwide
decentralization people everywhere
are coming to their senses, and in
dustry cannot fail to be benefited
thereby.
Everywhere l saw evidences of
prosperity in Atlanta yesterday, and
the people l talked with told me this
is also true of other parts of the
state. l went to Atlanta solely to
meet my daughter who came home
to spend the Easter holidays, but it
was impossible not to observe the inn
provement in conditions"
Mr.. Council would not discuss
political conditions, further than to
say he regarded Senator Hoke Smith
as in earnest in his candidacy for
president, and that he believed he
would make strong race through
out the state.
