RULE TRADING
Merchants Report Good Business,
Particularly From Out Of
Town

The Golden Rule sale yesterday,
which had been moved up one day
from the regular first Wednesday to
Tuesday because of the baseball
game, proved a splendid success in
practically all the stores heard from.
1t was impossible to make the rounds
and completely check-up the reGllts,
but those merchants interviewed BY
cnance all reported good business and
most of them extraordinary trade.
Following are those reportIng:
"We had a tremendous day, one
Of the best days we have ever had, !"
said Chas. l.. Ansley, this morning.
In fact do not know of any day
in five years when we had SO many
people to call and to wait on. Dur
ing the afternoon we could not wait
on the customers. The men went
to the game but the women stayed
i'll town to shop. We had customers
from Cuthbert, Monte1uma, Dawson
and other towns some distance away.
We are more than pleased. We are
delighted with our day"
''trom 8 80 yesterday morning un-
til 1863 O'Clock last night" j. K.

hands full, Lhere was not minute
in the day that we could stop. Wom-
en- came from everywhere. And
w. Il. Taylor stated 1T was the best
day of our business-we are tired
OUT, but happy" One thing seems
absolutely certain, and that is that
Americus is extending her trade ter
ritory. We are seeing faces Ne new
er saw before. People are coming
here in response to our advertising
from long distances. "As an evi-
dence of the crowd" Mr.. Hightower
said, "I ran out to the Playground
during the game, just to count the
automobiles. counted 475 on three
streets and there were cars inside
the grounds and over beyond the rail-
road | did not count. There could
not have been less than 500 to $50
cars out there"
I'VE had a fine day and were
very well pleased" said C. C. Will
liams, of the Wllliams-Niles Hard
ware company. "Our trade was
about 5000 between town and out
of-town people. Our garden hose
special sold out before the day was
over and we supplied buyers out of
other stock at the advertised price
The trade kept up we'll all day until
the ball game, and then was brisk
after the game"
I'VE sold four of our special porch
rockers before breakfast, and all
were gone by ten O'clock. We could
have sold dozen or two more if we
had ordered them. Four went to
Richland people" This was the re-
port of Ed Gyles of the Gyles-An-
drews Furniture company, one of the
enthusiastic supporters of the Gold
en- Rule sale plan, which has report
ed good business in every sale thus
far.
The Rylander Shoe company had
good days business, D. R. Andrews
reported. Practically all the trading
was from outside of Americus.
Churchwcll's had splendid days

a lighter trade than the side in which
the women shopped, Manager Royal

NOTES OF THE
BIG BALL GAME


Seeral small boys who squatted on
the ground along the side lines to
watch the game had several hard foul
balls bounced off their ribs, but none
were hurt. TIE only distressing ac-
cident was when an infielder, try
ing for a double play, overthrow to
first base and struck Edward Heys
eleyen-year-old son of Mr.. and
lAlsss--G4eyd- Buchanan, on the check
below the right eye. Several physi-
clans were on hand Immediately and
the little fellow given emergency
treatment ana sent home. The De-
troit physician gave him a league
baseball as keepsake, which he took
home, it partly compensating for
missing half the game.
J. Ralston Cargil, president of the
Playground association, pitched the
first ball and Umpire Johnson gave
It to hi mas souvenir.
Col. W. A. Dodson, who has been
i'll for couple Of weeks, but has
been getting out bit for few days,
was permitted to drive his car onto
the grounds and saw the game from
it, he being the only one accorded
this privilege.
Chief Bragg, on a spotted pony,
was on the job as traffic chief and
handled the job to perfection, as
sisted by his force of dependable
men.
The autographed baseball, bearing
the signatures of both Cobb and
Stallings, donated for the benefit of
the Playground, was auctioned by
President Cargill and went to E. L.
Simpson, of Smithville, for $3.50.
c. j. Clark was on the job, with
corps of helpers, in charge of the
drink stand at the grounds. He also
had general charge of the stands up
town, with able corps of ladies and
men doing the selling.
All the grand stand reserved seats
except 81 were sold, these being tax
en- off sale when the crowd had ap-
parcntly filled the stands. 1t became
apparent after the crowd was seated
that too little room had been allow
ed for each person, making the stands
less comfortable than they should
have been.

For some people would comment, So and % trades with store because he san't get credit anywhere else; and another point-the public soon realizes that merchant who has a big list of overdue accounts must either charge more or supply an inferior grade of merchandise because he can't do business on wind
 Credit Rating Bureaus
 Credit rating bureaus in various pants of the country have saved merchants much money on new ac- counts, through protection and infor- nation.
 They are not used as collecting med hrms as it has been found by many organizations that if used for collec- lions it seriously hampers and almost destroys it's value as rating bureau. ouCu Oui eau Ltuol oC Sti ittly COh- fidential. For such information used for any other purpose than credit rating for members only would lead to very serious complications
 Some towns tried to have this bureau years ago. but for various req ons it did not prove successful. Should the merchants of Juneau de eide to form such bureau for their own future local protection I will gladly offer my services without charge to a committee appointed to investigate plans and start 1t here Such a bureau can cooperate with
 similar bureaus throughout Alaska.

America Shows Britain
 How to Market Milk

: LONDON. July 19.-England is about to benefit from what has been done in the United States in the field of producing and distributing pure milk. Ready to learn from the experience of others, the milk com mittee of the National Farmers Union sent its chairman. E. W. Langford to America to investigate He found out a lot.
 What chiefly impressed him was the tremendous extent to which the public generally was interested in the subject of pure milk. It was re- garded as a national question. Child. welfare organizations. public health and educational authorities made it their business to see to it that every. thing possible was done to ensure an abundant supply No influence comparable with it was exercised in England
 Tn America Mir. .Langford has said. there is much more inspection of farms, than here; producers have to be licensed. and the licenses can be revoked if the regulations are not compiled with. Altogether milk production and distribution are on a higher plane than in this country. The question of clean. pure milk is treated by all concerned as one of vital importance.
 t'One of the chief difficulties in the way of securing better milk in this country Is, in my opinion, the indifference of the public" says Mir. Langford British people do not take a serious view of the milk they bmy. Milk is milk sums up their attitude, and they do not seem to care how or whore it is produced Very often. indeed. those who are interested in buying milk here for public institutions. such as hospitals. buy on contract in the very cheapest market. irrespective of quality or cleanliness. It is aiI question of education. If the people here see the necessity of having clean milk in bottles and ard. prepared to pay the small increase in price, they can have it.
