STOLEN SACRED BAMBIllO
OF ROME CHURCH FOUND

ROME, Sept, 24.--The Sacred
Bambino" of the church of Holy
Mary of the Victory has been stolen
but recovered. 1t is the revered image
Of the infant Jesus by Praga and is
believed by many. Italians to possess
miraculous power of effecting cures
among the people who worshipped at
its shrine.
So revered was it that hundreds
Of pieces of jewelry were placed at
its feet, draped about its body and
placed III close proximity to it as
marks of gratitude from the faith
full who were convinced they had re-
ceived healing.
One morning lately, the thieves
gained access to the altar where the
"Bambino" is placed and made away
with jewels and everything.
Discovery that the adored image
was not at its accustomed place was
the signal for a general alarm and
hundreds of devout persons in the
neighborhood of the church made
their pilgrimage to the altar to pray
for the restoration of the "Bambino."
During the day one Of the thieves
was caught and this led to the dis
covery of the revered "Bambino,"
The Church of Holy Mary of the
Victosy was erected to commemor
ate the victory of Lepanto, when tht
Crusaders defeated the Turks a
sea. 1t is just in the shadow. of tht
American embassy.

YOU AND

VICE WHENEVER WE
SPEND A DOLLAR, IF
ANDY is RIGHT

VOU spend dollar and wonder

low who actually prUduced what yor

also wondered. 1t worried Kim. He in.
vestigated.
Andy says his findings show that
the consumers dollar goes as fol-
lows: 81 cents for cost of production,
Id cents for profit, 49 cents for ''ser-
vice.
Service, however, includes pack
ing, transportation, selling expenses,
insurance, rent, wages and overhead.
Those cannot be done away with.
But something is radically wrong
when it costs third more to get
commodities to consumers, not count
ing profits, than it does to produce
them.
Remedy? Only one. Get consum-
ers closer to sources of production.

October

Cotton receipts in Americus pass
dthe 10000 bale mark shortly af-
ter noon today. At 1890 O'Clock
the total receipts for the season
reached 10,025 bales. The receipts
for the week at all the warehouses
totalled 2,414 bales. From this time
forward the receipts will be smaller,
cotton men predict, as the bulk of the
crop has been picked and ginnings
are beginning to fall off. Estimates
0 fthe total crop for the county coIi-
tinue to vary from $4,000 to 20,-
600, with most Of the predictions
putting $4,000 as the maximum.
Of the receipts of 10,025 bales
here for this season, moderate
amount came from other surrounds
ing towns, and some from out. of the
county, among the shipping points be-
ing Smithville and Ellaville. Some of
the cotton from these points was
grown in Sumter county, however,
hauling to the gins at these places
being shorter than elsewhere.
The market closed the week with
q rather Indifferent tonne. Spots
were quoted at 19 3-4 cents for good
middling, with little demand at that
price. 1t is said that large amount
of cotton is being offered throughout
the country at 20 cents, and that
whenever the price touches that fig
ure there is enough to break the
market. This is the explanation Of
fered for the fact that the market
has remained slightly under 20 cents
much of the time this week. It Is
reported by warehouse men that
probably two-thirds Of the cotton held
in Sumter county has heen ordered
sold at minimum of 20 cents. The
remainder is held for higher prices

-ssGshas.s. Nj qAsE..sza6Uun cilYsus~wias~pr
and cashier of the Planters Bank OF
Americus/ who with Mrs. Council is
on a vacation and business trip OF
two weeks to the North, believes in
letting the world know of our COM
paratively good condition in Sum
ter county. Consequently, when ap'
preached by reporter for the Sa'
vannah Morning News when he stop.
ped over in that city few days ago
he took occasion to say good word
for his home section. Following is
the News report of the interview:
"Improved conditions and an ex-
cellent outlook for business prevails
in Sumter county, according to the
opinion of G. NJ Council, of Ameri
Gus, banker and financier, who was
in the city yesterday.
"Mr. Council is vice-president OF
the Planters Bank of Americus, an
institution with thirty years of sue.
cessful history, and is business man
of experience.
Conditions are very good in his
section" Mr.. Council said, "and par,
ticularly since cotton went up to 20
cents, and although it has dropped a
little he sees no reason to believe
that they will not continue to inn
prove. Farmers began to seel their
cotton freely when the price went up
and although they are holding off o
little now on a falling market, the
crop will be shorter than usual and it
is likely that they will continue to
sell
"Americus and Sumter county like
other parts of the world suffered
somewhat from initiation, but gradual
deflation and liquidation of assets is
taking place and conditions are daily
growing steadier. Mr.. Council says
that the farmers have by no means
lost all their money Cotton is the
principal crop of Sumter county, but
other crops have been good.
''The cotton crop of the state will
be short about 100000 bales" Mr.,
Council estimates, "and though he is
unwilling to predict that the present
high price or that even price of
20 cents will continue, he points out
that the crop shortage will naturally
result in maintaining a good price
nd thus in bringing the farmers
faia return, with consequent pros.
perity for the state.
"Mr. Council was in the city yester,
day on business and for the purpose
of conferring with State Bank Ex'
aminer T. r. Bennett. Mr.. Bennett
paid his first visit to banks here Since
his appointment about year ago.
CAS- a result of their conference
Mr.. Bennett sold the Commercial
City Bank building in Americus to
the Planters Bank, subject to the
approval of the courts"

1t is not necessary to review the
train of evils that followed the with.
drawal Of millions of men from pro-

Painful Return
The contraction necessary to a re-

full. 1t is not easy to return to the
simple life abandoned under the in
toxicating influence of sudden and
abnormal prosperity.
Nevertheless, it seems to me that

EUROPE HAS IT'S OWN
RUM-RUNNER TROUBLES

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 24.-Eu-
rope has it's rum-runners, as well as
America. Fifty per cent of Danish
shipping is still idle and many small
er craft are employed in organized
smuggling of whisky, gin and other
alcoholic beverages to wet inha bitants
of dry countries like Norway and Fin
land and in a smaller scale to Swed-
en-.
A yachtsman who has been cruis-
ing in Norwegian waters told the cor
respondent that the price of drink
has doubled or trebled in Norway,
where prohibition rules.
Just outside the three-mile limit
arc anchored ships, mostly Danish
and German, but also a few British,
with cargoes of prohibited drinks and
round every one of these ships are
dozens of small Norwegian boats
waiting their turn to get part of the
costly cargo.
To assist Norway in enforcing her
prohibition law, Denmark has pro
hibited the export and re-export of
spirits. This merely means that the
smugglers go to German and British
ports to buy whisky and gin and re-
turn once more to their trading sta
tions just outside Norwegian terri
tory.
The yachtsman said the Norwegian
police ara custom officials are pow
erless to deal with this industry and
that practically every owner of a
sailing or rowing beat in the little
towns on the Norwegian coast is a
snuggler
The smartest of the rum-runners
have turned the saloons of their ships
into cabarets and do a roaring trade
selling drinks over the coupter.
