CURB MARKET TOMORROW.
$4,000 KiWanians Seeking Closer
Observation-Disclosures

Better commercial and social re-
lations between the United States
and the Dominion of Canada are the
goal for which $4,000 members Of
the Kiwanis clubs of North America
are striving this week. The Amer
icus club will have a special Canadian
program at its regular weekly lunch
con Friday at the Windsor.
The Kiwanis clubs of the two coun-
tries dedicated the week of April 2
to s to the celebration of the century
cf friendship which has united the
two great English speaking nations
of the North American continent.
This period was selected because
it was in April, 1918, that nego-
tiations between the United States
and Great Britain were finally COM
plet6d for restricted armament upon
the Great Lakes.
The practical disarmament accom-
plished typifies the fine relations be-
tween the two countries since.
Seven hundred and ten Kiwanis
clubs in celebrating the week are
receiving the cooperation of Cham
bers of Commerce, churches, schools
and Boy Scout organizations in a
week-long jubilee.
The purpose of the gatherings is
to help Americans and Canadians to
understand one another's ideals and
needs. Canadians will address Amer
lean clubs and American speakers
will address Canadian clubs.
This international celebration pro-
noting intersectional comradeship
upon which must be predicated all
our hopes for future peace is one
of many blows struck by Klwanis at
narrow partisanship.

North America to celebrate good re-
lations between the United States
and Canada.
Almost every international boun-
dary bristles with fortifications and
is protected by hordes of troops.
But you see no forts along the
300-mile border between the United
States and Canada.
You never see squadrons of war
ships maneuvering on the Great
Lakes.
That's all because of this old agree
ment.
The. original agreement was affect
ed after the close of the War of 1872
during the presidential term of John
Quincy Adams.
1t provided that neither govern
mcnt should maintain
More than one vessel on Lake On
tario Of 100 tons burden and carry
ing one 18-pound gun.
More than two such vessels on the
upper lakes.
All other vessels then in service
on the Great Lakes had to be
scrapped.
The United States and Great Bri-
tain since have had many disputes
relative to the Canadian boundary
but all have beefsf settled satisfactori-
" without serious trouble.

RECEIVER NAMED FOR
GEORGIA MOTOR co.

The Georgia Motor Co., local
corporation, of which John w. Oliver
is president, was today placed in the
hands of receiver by order OF
Judge Littlejohn, of the Superior
court, at the instance of several credi-
tors. Stephen Pace was named as
receiver.
This action was brought about by
the inability of the concern to make
collections of large amounts due 1t.
A report from the company shows
assets of about S25, 200 and liabili-
ties of about $4,000, but frozen
credits" have made it impossible for
it to meet its obligations promptly,
and it is expected through receiver
ship proceedings that it will be able
to pay all claims in full.
The petitioning creditors are repre-
sented by Attorneys j. Lewis Ellis
and Messrs. Ellis, Webb and Ellis.
Under order of the court, the business
win be continued for limited time
on cash basis by the receiver.

Whiting Managers And Players
Guests At Lions Club Lunch
con AT Noon

Americus is today host TO Ty Cobb
and George stallings, Georgia's
greatest baseball celebrities, and
their two baseball teams, the Detroit
Tigers and the Rochester Interna-
tionals. The baseball party, in three
Pullman cars, reached Ameircus
early this morning, enjoyed a ride
about the city and country in cars
during the forenoon, were guests OF
the Lions club at luncheon at the
Tea Room at noon, and this after
noon played game of baseball at
the Playground before large crowd
of fans gathered from all over TINS
section of Georgia.
Managers and players expressed
themselves just before the game as
delighted with the hospitality Of AM
ericus, and in a talk at the Lions
luncheon Cobb assured the Americus
people that the teams would give
them good game of baseball. Mr..
Stallings also made a short talk az
the luncheon rs part OF q snappy pro-
gram which delighted the visitors.
In the baseball party, besides the
men of the two teams, were sport
writer's, several of whom attended
the luncheon. They were Bullion,
of the Detroit Press; Salzlnger OF
the Detroit News; Wade Of the De-
troit Journal; Walker of the Detroit
Times; Whitcombe of the Rochester
Herald and Burns of the Rochester

Cobb Talks on Georgia.
Because of the orders of the man
ayers for the players to be at the
Playground early for workout be-
fore the game, The Lions luncheon
program was made short. Cobb waI
called upon for talk within a couple
of minutes after his arrival and he
took occasion, as a native and resi-
dent Georgian, to tell his hearers
few things about cooperation.
eve have several serious questions
to consider down here in Georgia
right now" he said Our baseball
teams come South each spring to
learn team work and how to work
together-to cooperate. Georgia
today is beset with troubles and ills,
and what we need to pull ourselves
out Of our troubles is cooperation.
We have never learned to pull to-
gether in Georgia and the South. But
necessity is the mother of invention.
We have fertile soil and we haven't
heretofore had to worry much about
making a living. But we have the
boil weevil now and that has changed
things. Other states are not so tav-
ored with good soil and climates,
and the people there have had to use
their brains and done scheming to
get along. The result is that they
have developed manufacturing and
other industries, and they now are
getting along better than we. We
nave the ports, the power, the cir
mate and everything suitable for in
dustrial development, and we can de-
velop team work like our ball clubs

Scrupulous Cleanliness Required
of Markets by State Regulations

The state sanitary regulations gov
erning meat markets may be of gem
eral interest at this time in Americus.
Publication Of paragraph of the
regulations was asked of the Times
Recorder by one of the local dealers,
but the whole section relating to
markets is here reproduced, in the.
belief that all of it is important and
Of public concern.
In commenting upon these regula-
tions, r. L. Mathews, local market
man, who was one of those appealing
to the mayor and council in January
for rigid meat inspection here, said:
Paragraph prohibits meats
from being sold on the streets in the
dust and other contamination. 1t is
necessary to see that all the law is
enforced. j have stood for law en-
forcement for all and favors for
none. 1t is unjust to the markets of
Americus to allow their business for
five or six months of the year to be
ruined by peddlers and then when it
takes ice to take care of the meats
to jump on us, when the farmers
have to depend on US during these
months and peddlers sell all kinds
of meats during cold weather and not
a word is said"
Following are the regulations of
the state department of agriculture,
as promulgated by the state veterina-
rian, DR.. P. F. Bahnsen:
ALL inclosed or indoor shons
in which meat or meat products
are stored and exposed Tor saIe
shall be kept scrupulously clean.
During the summer months all
doors and W., dows opening into
such shops shall be effectively pro-
tected against the entrance of
flies by the use of fly screens or
other effective mechanical devices.
2-No meats of any description
shall be permitted to hang or stand
in the open air exposed to insects
or dust, or other communicating in
fluences, but must be under glass
or fly nettiag, and in summer prop
erly iced to prevent spelling. Meats

SEDD OF NEW TRATiES
SOWN LONG AGO.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Diplo-
mats here recall that the seed of
the Four-Power treaty, just ratified
by the senate, and other arms con-
ference treaties, was sown more than
century ago in an international
agreement between the United States
and Great Britain.
This. agreement, proclaimed by the
president of the United States in
April, 1918, provided for limitation
of armament on the United States
Canadian border.
1t made the United States and
Great Britain pioneers in the inter-
national policy of defending borders
by agreements instead OF ornaments
Ia policy the recent disarmament
conference tried to further.
The 10tth anniversary of this
treaty win be observed April 2-8 dur
ing Canadian week, an observance
fostered by the Kiwanis clubs oil

LEFT STRONG BY
GREAT VICTORY
Premier Throws Down Gauntlet
And Wins Bv Overwhelming
Vote

LONDON, April 4,-(By Asso-
ciated Press THE Overwhelming
victory OF Premier Lloyd George IN
the house of commons yesterday,
when he was given the confidence
of the house by vote of 372 to 94,
mad the effect of a quick and violent
thunderstorm in clearing the poll
tieal atmosphere. Apparently net
tied by intimations that he was dodg-
ing a direct vote of confidence, the
premier threw down the gauntlet
early in the debate and declared the
cabinet would stand or fall on the
result Of the division. The result
left no douhT as TO the strength OF
the government.
Prior to this the house by vote OF
$40 to "a rejected an amendment
proposed by John Robert Clynes,
laborite, which while approving an
international economic and financial
conference, declared that the govern
ment was not competent to represent
the country at such conference and
did not have the confidence Of the
country.
This result is regarded as exceed
ingly satisfactory for the prime min
lster, as the combined laborites and
independent liberals number about
100 and the "die ha~ds" about so, all
of whom might have been expected
to oppose the premier's resolution.
The prime minister's speech inVit-
ing parliament to vote confidence III
the governments Genoa policy was
noteworthy, inasmuch as it touched
only lightly upon the political crisis
at home and because it endorsed the
French policy toward Russia, al
though Mr.. Lloyd George himself
displayed much sympathy for an en-
tireiy conciliatory attitude toward
Russia, and further, in that it sought
accommodation with the Soviet gov
ermment, lest hy waiting it might
eventually be necessary to deal with
sill more irreconcilable or mill
taristic regime, which might embroil
the whole of Europe.
While emphasizing that nothing
could be gained by waiting for the
overthrow of the Soviet administra-
tion, the prime minister accepted the
French standpoint, demanding guar
antees with respect to Russia's debts
and obligations and stipulating pc
riod of probation of six months or a
year, but less if Russia gave the nee
essary guarantees, before full recog-
milton was accorded. The premier
indicated his belief in the insincerity
of the conversion of Nikolai Lenin
and the Soviet to a diluted form of
communism.

Wimberly, negro, is at local hos

other negroes, while John A. Flint, a

away. Flint's exertions caused pis-

STRIKE LEADERS
HAIL BREAK IN
COAL OPERATORS
Policies Committee to Meet To-
morrow To Act On Independ-
ents' Offer

PITTSBURG, April 4.-The first
strike disorders in the Western Penn
sylvania coal district were reported
from Fayette and Washington coun-
ties this morning, where the authori-
ties stated, high tension electric wires
carrying current for the coal mines
had been cut. A detail of state police
crowds endeavoring to induce non

union miners to leave their work.
NEW YORK, April 4.-Strike
leaders announced here today that
the anthracite miners general poll
cies committee would meet in New
York tomorrow to act on the report
ed offer of several Independent pro-
ducers to grant the strikers nineteen
demands il they return to their jobs.
Acceptance Of the offers, which
are hailed by the union men as the
first break in the ranks Of the OPP
erators," may result in the negotia-
ton of separate contracts, accord
ing to union leaders.
The offer was first made by Will
liam Peck, president of the Grove
Hill Mining company, of Peckville,
Pa, who came to New York for the
purpose, according to William j.
Brennan, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, in district
No. /.
1t was followed, he said, by similar
offers from 'other small independent
mine operators" in the Scranton
area.
That this signified breach in the
ranks Of organized mine owners was
denied by members of the anthracite
operators association. They branded
owners who had made such offers as
independent operators of wagon
mines whose production was neg
ligible factor in the outcome of the
strike. The Grove hill company is
not even affiliated with the organi-
zatlon of independent operators, they
said
Such offers will not win the
strike, and will have no effect on the
stand for a reduction in wages, tax

ton, and member Of the miners and
