And Loving Cup For
Attendance


The following telegram was receN-
ed this afternoon from Lewis Ellis,
presidt4t of the >Americus Kiwanls
club, who is attending the district
convention Of kiwanis clubs in that
city:
"Ameritus won loving cup for bess
per centagc at convention and cleo
tric sign for best stunt
The Americus Kiwanis club swept
all competition off its feet in the
stunt program at the Idle Hour coun-
try club in Macon Wednesday eve
ming forming part of the program of
the Kiwanis district convention, which
opened in Macon Wednesday for two
days. So completely did they cap
turc all honors that one judge stat
ed that a single number of the three
presented would have won the prize
over all the other 10 clubs of the
state. The Americus members Were
highly elated at their success.
This success, however, was not all
due to the efforts of the club mem
bers, by any means, but they, on the
other hand, give practically all the
credit to two Americus star enter
tainers, Miss Melva Clark and Miss
Susan Stallings. They were both su-
perb, and divided honors as the hits
of the evening. The Americus pro
gram Of stunts opened with a bril-
liam song by Miss Clark, who was in
splendid voice. 1t caught instant
recognition and met with an uproar
Of applause. For an encore, nearly
score of Americas Kiwanians, in
farm burlesque costume, with Miss
Mamie Walters at the piano, shuffled
III and started to sing "0ld McDon-
AIDS Farm" The various barnyard
characters We're in costume, includ-
ing the chicken, duck, turkey and
pig, and the Ford and still were also
represented. Bill" Jones. as a be-
whiskered moonshiner, in boots and
carrying his still, wound up the pa
rade and brought the audience to it's
feet with laughter and applause. For
an encore to this act Miss Stallings
appeared and recited her brilliant
original verse, That's Kiwanis" The
climax created by her took the gath
ering by stoIf1.
Visitors and delegates rushed to
congratulate the Americas members
and entertainers and repeatedly as
sured them they could have anything
for the asking-the next convention,
the district presidency, or anything
else they wanted. They were all as
sured, however, that Americus had
come demanding and expecting moth
ing, except to share the benefits and
inspiration of the convention and
carry off the prizes in competition, if
possible.
Nearly 80 KWanians and ladies at
tended the convention on the opening
day, but most of them returned home
Wednesday night.

WINTER

Birds are reported flying souun

1t looks like a hard winter. Have you
bought your coal?
The output of bituminous mines
so far this year is far below normal
--141 100000 tons behind 1918, and
even 3O,0Q0,00o tons behind 1914, a
hard-times years. Mines are working
only As per cent of capacity.
A cold winter, coupled with busl-
ness revival, would throw a very
heavy strain on the railroads. 1t
doesn't take much of car shortage
to boost coal prices and cause sui

The Naval Flibuster

Nothing in the way of congressional proceedings is
disgusting sensible Americans than the spectacle
of senator, in the closing hours of session, engaged
in talking to death measure that is approved by a
large majority of his colleagues. In exceptional
it is true, senator may be justified in last ditch fight
against proposed law that he believes to be unwise
unjust but in the great majority of action of this
kind is based upon assumption of superior wisdom
that is wholly unwarraned or else it is due to desire
10 obtain notorety to satisfy revenge
There is certainly nothing in the naval appropria-
tion bill to warrant extreme action of this kind, but
there is very grave danger that national interests Of
the highest Importance may be endangered by such
action.
1t is unfortunately true that in the senate of
mediocre ability and laundering Judgment find them
selves in possession of power that they do not know
how 10 wisely. To of that kind the closing
hours of session seem to present irresistible
temptation, and neither the cnreaties of personal and
partisan friends any regard for the national inter
css, is sufficient to deter them from posing in fash
ion that is intended TO be sublime but is only cxasper-
ating, absurd and disgusting.

A Most Important Decision

The supreme court decision that affirms the
stitutonalty of the federal farm loan act has very
direct bearing upon general business conditions and
this decision may prove to be tho turning point in the
business recovery that is generally predicted.
On March l, 1920, the Farm Loan Board reported
that $S2S97 900 had been advanced to 1884 farmers
and that applications from 49, 734 persons then pend
ing amounted to $4710 900. The immensity of these
figures only suggests the need Of this of
relief to the farming interests of the nation but also
indicates the extent to which the business readustmcnts
affecting the producers of the country have held
up result of the litigation against the farm loan
law.
1t is announced from Washington that there will
be immediate issue of farm loan bonds and that the
distribution of money upon approved loans will begin
possible tho funds will not be available for
at least thirty days. The distribution of SO large an
amount in such way is certain to have most favor
able effect upon the farmers and also upon the mcr
chants and manufacturers from whom the farmers buy
supplies and machinery, and ultimately upon the gem
eral business of the nation.
