and save the children. To Provide-auto-

Always hitherto when our appeals

This year our generous members and

DAY YISCHANCED
TO WEDNESDAY; Ed NlEE'SsSDAAYi
/. CONTRACTS FOR
YEAR ARE SIGNED
Merchants Enter Into Arrange
ments With Times Recorder
To Handle All Detail Work

Merchants members Of the Amcri-
Gus Advertising club announced to-
day that the Americus Golden Rule
Sales, which were inaugurated last
November but dropped temporarily.
IN January because OF low stoeks of
goods Immediately following the
Christmas season, will be resumed
with the biggest and best sale yet
on the first Wednesday, in March,
which falls on March L. Plans have
been in the making for two weeks
to get this sale under way, and indi-
cations are now that it will be the
greatest and most popular bargain
levent Americas has ever seen.
In re-establishing the Golden Rule
sales, which proved very popular, and
brought much new trade from a dis
tance to Americas, the merchants Of
Americus have entered into a new
arrangement, having SIGNED indiyid-
ual contracts with the Times Record
er for one year to handle all adver-
tising and circular printing and all
distribution of the same at a fixed
minimum rate, thereby limiting their
own liabilities to the uniform figure
in the contract named and removing
from the officers and members of the
club, who are all business men, the
burden of detail work in connection
with the monthly sales. All gather
ing of copy for the advertisements
and collections for same, which pre-
viously were undertaken by the Of
ficers of the Ad club, will now be
done by the Times-Reeorder as part
of its service under the contract.
The only innovation in connection
with the coming sales, So FAR as the
public is concerned, is the change Of
the sale day from the first Monday
to the first Wednesday in each month.
This change was authorized by the
Ad club members after due considera-
ton and as a rsult OF their expert
ence with the first two sales. They
reached the conclusion that farmers
who usually come to town on Satur-
day are reluctant to come again Mon
day, whereas they usually come some
time about the middle of the week.
Wednesday was hit upon as the best
day, since during the summer months
Thursday afternoon is observed as a
half-holiday by practically all the
business houses of the city.
The farmers sale of second hand
goods, implements, and stock Of all
kinds will be continued as an inn
portant part Of the monthly Golden
Rule event. It will remain in charge
Of George O. Marshall, S. n. Heys
and w. j. Josey, the committee Of
the Ad club placed in charge of it
originally. 1t is expected to grow in
usefulness to the farmer as time
goes on and more farmers avail them
selves of its opportunities to turn
unused or discarded property into
cash or pick up useful articles at bar
gain prices.
Citizens everywhere are asked to
bear in mind the fact that March
] will see the resumption Of Golden
Rule sales in Amerieus on a large
scale, with better values than ever.

HOUSEWIVES
MOVE To SERVE
HOME PRODUCTS
Conference OF Women, Groccrs
And Truck Growers Called
For Friday

Believing that prosperity, like char
ity, should begin at home, and that
there is chance for great improve
| ment of our own condition by living
at home to the greatest possible ex-
tent, instead of sending our money
elsewhere to buy necessities of no
higher and even lower quality and
value, the women of. the Woman's
l'club of Americus have undertaken
a movement to change customs and
conditions here in that respect. Brief
~, they believe, that inasmuch as
Sumter county can and does produce
as fine vegetables and fruits as any
section in the world, and inasmuch
as great quantities of these products
are allowed to go to waste on the
local farms and truck patches. while
other great quantities are imported
from Florida, California and other
distant sections, concerted effort on
the part of the housewives, aided by
the merchants and farmers, win rem-
edy the situation to great extent
and save thousands Of dollars to the
community annually.
And so a conference has been ar
ranged for next Friday afternoon
at 2:3O o'clock at the Carnegie Ii
braary Every housewife in Sumter
county, first is urged to be present,
because it is realized that the move
ment must first come from the con-
sumers. Then all the grocers and
other dealers in green and canned
goods of all sorts are asked to be
| present to exchange views and lend
cooperation to the movement, which
all agree, if it succeeds will benefit
the business men of the community
as much as anyone else. And, last
| ly, all truckers and farmers interest
Ted in growing vegetables for the To-
cal market are invited and urged to
attend, for it is recognized that with
out systematic growing and market
ing and the ability of local growers
to supply the demand, the movement
would fail.
Mrs. George Van Ripper, chairman
of the special committee ck the Wo-
mans club handling this movement,
is issuing an invitation to all the
other women's clubs of the communi-
ty to have their memberships present
at this conference Friday afternoon
SO that the movement may be given
the proper start.
It's shame that we have such
conditions as exist here. said one
Americus woman today. Vegetables
are rotting on our farms for want of
buyers, and yet we go to the stores
and pay fancy prices for stale stuff
shipped in from other states. We
need to get cooperation between tbs
truckers, merchants and housewives.
When we get that our problem will
be largely solved, as far as vegetables
are concerned. Then we need can
ming factories. II Is preposterous to
