Mercer and Florida Univ to Play Here April 13 A. II
3-CAME SERIES
ARRANGED HERE
BY LEGION POST
Big Football Game For Fall
Also Planned AS Public
Enterprise

Announcement was made today
that arrangements had been complet-
ed and details of the contract were
being wound up, for the bringing Of
the Mercer University and the Uni
Hversity of Florida baseball teams to
Americus for q three-day series OF
games here on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, April 13, Ia and Is, the
week following the oit-Rochester
game here April 4. The local post
Of the American Legion will be spony-
ors for bringing the teams here, and
arrangements were put through at q
meeting of the post last night. The
negotiations are. being handled dl-
rectly with Josh Cody, Mercer coach.
The Legion is able to bring these
two teams here for three games by
underwriting their expenses, which
they have undertaken to do, A good
share was signed up last nigat and
citizens will be asked to join in the
guarantee for the remainder ut not
more than $40 per individual The
games win take place at the Play
ground and will be Legion benefit,
the profits to go to the post for fit
ting up club rooms or any other purz
pose it may see fit 1t was stated to-
day that the post would gladly turn
its profits into fund TO build a per-
manent grand stand at the Play
ground, however, if this arrangement
could be effected.
At the same time it was stated that
the Legion plans to stage football
game between two large colleges here
this fall, To be an annual athlectie
event, much as the Georgia-Auburn
game is an annual event in Calum
bus. These negotiations have not
progressed far enough yet tn permit
/ of definite announcement.
"The Legion is undertaking these
athletic events" said Dan Chappell,
purely for the benefit and pleasure
of the public. We do not expect or
! want profits for ourselves. But many
Ipeople have obtained the idea thai
the Legion is q selfish organization,
working purely for it's own ends. This
is not the case, and we wanted to
do something IN a public way for
Americus and Sumter county, aud tiik
upon these games. We believe the
general public will appreciate the
privilege of having these attractions
at their own doors, where they can
lsee them without the necessity and
expense Of going to other larger
Icities. We want the public to get be-
hind us in support and approval Qf

TELLSOF LOAN
BANK'SPROBLEM
c. c. Youman, Appraiser, Says
First Applications Swamped
Institution


Col. G. G. Youmans, appraiser for
the Federal Farm Loan Bank for this
district, located at Columbia, s. G.,
was a guest at the Lions club lunch
con Tuesday and at the request of
the club members spoke briefly of
some of the difficulties the bank is
experiencing in handling the immense
business pouring into the office daily.
Mr.. Youmans said that it was
thought best at the beginning to place
no restrictions on the submission OF
applications for loans, for fear that
to do so would create unfavorable
sentiment throughout the district. As
a result, he said, the bank received
within very short time approximate
ly S75 900, 900 in applications, vol
ume that they had not anticipated
and which was beyond human effort
Of the force Of trained workers in
the bank to dispose of in several
months. On this account, he said,
some dissatisfaction and complaint
had been coming in, because loans
approved had not been closed and
checks forwarded He said that ir
addition to this large number of APP
plications that had flooded the offices
of the bank at first, they had been re-
ceiving on an average of 500 appii-
cations per month since.
But for the long hours and loyal
cooperation Of the Office force, we
could never have taken care of this
business" said Mr.. Youmans. $50
much complaint came in on account
of delays in closing loans we found
it necessary to receive no more APP
plieations until we had cleared up
the accumulation and this. too, has
created wrong impression. Some
Of the people are saying that the bank

demands. We want the farmers and
landowners to fully understand that
there is plenty of money in the
bank. And if this becomes exhaust
cd, all the bank has to do is issue
more bonds and get more money. We
are now sending out an average of
975 checks month amounting to
two and one half millions of dollars,
over this district which is going a
long way toward relieving present fl
nancial depression"
Mr.. Youmans was for several years
principal Of the Amerieus High
school and while here made many
warm friends who are making him
glad to be home again.
Rev. MI. HIarrel Of the Lee ST.
Methodist church was also guest Of
the club and made brief talk on the
Spirit Of Cooperation, which was
greatly enjoyed.

membership in the club.

Another mystery in the case is the
disappearance of the letters of Mabel
Norniand, the comedienne, that she
had written To Taylor, and which she
declares he must have had with his
other letters from famous women
stars.
Only Josh" Letters.
"T'hcy were just josh letters, in
which ! called him Baby" said Miss
Normand "1'hcY were nothing ! am
ashamed Of, and | would gladly have
them published if they can be found. !"
Other letters in the house were not
disturbed
The further the investigation Of the
crime goes, the more positive the po-
lice and detectives are that jealousy
was the underlying motive Of the
crime. 1t has been found that far
from being a 4man's man." Taylor
numbered scores of beautiful women
among his close friends.
The kings of the movie world are
determined that the murder must be
solved Jesse Lasky, head Of the
Lasky-F Famous Players, declares that
the offer of s1,000,0 900 for the solu-
tion of the mystery is no idle state
ment. The leaders of the industry
feel that the movie business is getting
distinct black eye as the sensation
al details come out. It is their hope
that it can be determined that Tayfer
was murdered for money, or by a
burglar, and no money is being spar
ed to accomplish this aim.
Working along this line, Private
Detective Monday discovered that the
murdered director had drawn $4,000
in currency from his bank on the day
he was murdered 1t is stated that
this sum may have been used to pay
blackmailers tribute. Cancelled
checks were on the table before which
he had been sitting when he was shot
and killed.
Miss Normand made number of
declarations on cher word of honor"
to newspaper interviewers yesterday
Were YOU ever in love with Tay-
lor?s they asked her.
Not in the way one means when
he uses the expression in love On
