MONUMENT FOR
BATTALION
Harry Schneider Secures Contract
For Memorial To Be Built
In Macon

MACON, April 3.-Harry Schneid-
er, of the Schneider Marble company,
of Americus, former member of the
151st Machine Gun Battalion, was
awarded the contract of the 151st
memorial Saturday at meeting of
. the buildign committee of the auxil-
iary.
The plan drawn by Capt. Sidney
Brown, former comamnder of Co. b
Macon Volunteers) Of the Machine
Gun Battalion, fashion the memorial
in the form Of a white granite shaft
on which will be bronze tablets with
the nam~S. of the fallen heroes of
the battalion and two figures of ma
chine gunners.
The shaft on one side will be flank
ed with half circle bench OF the
same material. Should the monu-
ment be erected on Coleman's HILL
as is the hope of the building COM
lsittee at present, the side facing the
city will give view to the business
section and the surrounding coun-
try.
The money for the erection of the
memorial was raised by the Woman S
Auxiliary of the battalion and the
boys themselves while they were act
ing as a unit of the Army of Occupa-
tlon in Germany. The women rails
ed large amount by giving dances
and entertainments, while the mem
bers of the battalion contributed out
right to the cause.
Work on the memorial will com
mence at once, it is understood, and
while no definite date has been set
for the dedication, the women of the
auxiliary are hoping that November
IL, Armistice Day, will be the date
of the dedication and a reunion Of
the Machine Gun Battalion.
Shortly after the battalion return
ed to Macon after the service over
seas, the city gave the small park on
Cotton avenue and First street in
front of the Volunteers armory for
the purpose of erecting the memorial
there, and the park was dedicated on
the afternoon of the arrival of the
troops. 1t was later decided that the
plCt was too small and Coleman's Hlll
was suggested as the site. While it
Is nto definitely decided that the
monument viii be erected at Cole
mans Hill, Mrs. j. NJ. Cutler, presi-
dent of the auxiliary, announced
Yesterday that a petition is being
drawn up and viii lbe presented to
the mayo rand council next Tuesday
night, asking permission for the cree
tion Of the memorial ON the hill fac
ing the city.
1t is understood that the contract
was awarded to the Americus con-
Germ for SS,175, and when complete
will cost approximately $4,000. Al
present there is about $500 in the
memorial fund.

FANS TO BE IN VOGUE,
SAYS FASHION NOTE

"A friend sends in the following
fashion note:
"Fans are in vogue. Tuesday,
April a, at the Playground Americus
will have a large display of fans.
These fans viii be imported from
the neighboting towns, some will
come from Macon and Atlanta and
some will l.e from other states. There
will be a large assortment of thes
fans, all shapes and sizes. Some will
be gorgeousiy decorated in curls and
gringe, and others plain. Some will
be large and handsome, some dainty
and petite Some will be gay, some
viii be sober. The color scheme will
range from the most delicate of pas
tele shades to deep flush. About
half of these fans will be hand
painted.
"These fans which have been very
uniquely termed Baseball Fans, can
be seen by attending the Ty Cobb
game"

coupons which will be detached, the
holder being required to wear the poc.
ton retained by him in order that the
grounds committee and police may be
able to check up the crowd and dis
cover those few VINO may have been
able to enter without paying.
The game is expected to be more
than an exhibition affair. 1t is the
wind-up of the spring training sea
son, and the opening of the pennant
races are only few days off. The
managers, therefore, are driving their
men hard and the contest will be a
hard working affair. Cobb himself
has been playing the full nine in
nings in the recent games, as have his
other first string men, and all are ex-
pected to go the full route here,
with the possible exception of the
pitchers.
The teams will probably be on the
grounds for a workout for an hour
on more before the game stats, as is
the custom during the baseball sea
son. This will afford the fans a
chance to see the players in some OF
their best aetion, if they care to be
on hand early.

NEW CITY DRUG LAW
INTRODUCED IN RENO

With a view to suppressing the
drug traffic in Reno to as great an
extent as possible an ordinance was
introduced at a meeting Of the city
council providing that any persons
found with drugs in their possession
would be subject to fines Of from
500 to $500. The proposed new
ordinance also provides that the
arresting officer in a case where a
fine is paid or bail forfeited is to re-
ceive a reward of SIS. Physicians
and others properly licensed are ex-
empt from the provisions of the
measure.
As a revenue producing measure
for the city the ordinance will also
be effective. At present all the
fines and bail forfeitures paid by
drug vendors do into the school
fund where city police or others
make the arrest. Under the city's
ordinance the city would secure
part of this money.-Gazette.

TAx-ExEMPT SECURITIES
RECOGNIZED AS MENACE

Secretary Mellon, in urging favor
able action on resolution to amend
the constitution to prohibit issuance
of tax-exempt securities, said: DE
Mia Of the privilege of issuing tax
exempt securities would curb the ex-
travagance of some municipalities
and local governments.
If issuance of tax-exempt Sc
curities is allowed to continue, a
social upheaval will occur, which
may be so far reaching in effect as
to undermine the United States
government" says Congressman Nc
Fadden Of Pennsylvania.
at has been estimated that ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000 of tax
exempt securities have been issued
by the government and state and
other political subdivisions. In the
last few years we have seen per-
sonal wealth Of this country so rap
idly segregated into the tax-free
class that, whereas taxable income
of individual taxpayers under fed
eral income tax law was $992,972,.
985 in 1915, the amount decreased
to 731,373,05 in 1917 and te
$685., 247,329 in 1918." The pro.
posed amendment would not affect
securities already outstanding but
would apply to new issues.

A NATIONWIDE
COMMISSION

The Republican Congress has no
commission to revise the tariff, de-
clare the Democratic leaders.
Haven't, Ell? One thing that the
farmers wanted most on the con-
vening Of the present Congress in
special session was the enactment
of an emergency agricultural tariff
law, and that measure was promptly
put through both houses.
At its annual meeting at Buffalo,
in 1917, the American Federation
of Labor went on record in favor of
a protective tariff, but the Demo-
cratic administration then in power
refused to grant the request. The
next general election saw a Repub-
lican majority elected to both houses
and in 1920 there was an unprece-
denied Republican victory not only
in the Presidential contest but in
the Congressional and Senatorial
elections as we'll.
The farmers want a revision of
the Democratic tariff, the manufac-
turers want it, the laboring men
want it-everybody wants it except
the international bankers, the pro-
fessors of free trade at colleges,
and the Democratic leaders. Even
the Solid South is demanding pro-
tective tariff.

LOOKING
BETTER

Now that we've got a good run
ming start into 1922 we see it is
going to be bigger and better year
for agriculture and livestock, with
more prosperity for people depend
ent upon these industries. This is
not prophecy, but fact that is
now in course of fulfillment. We're
all tired of talking and thinking
hard times, and around Winnemucca
folks are beginning to grin again.
Now and then some professional
worrier has to break out with a
wall, but there aren't so many join
ing in the chorus now. The average
man just says: "Oh, well, that's
part of his job; he's getting paid
for it," and let's it go at that. Re-
ports from all over the country in
dictate that things are on the mend,
and the normal man, when once he
realizes this and admits it, forgets
about his passing troubles in a de-
termination to prove that these re-
ports are true of his own COM
munity. Things are chirking up all
along the line-but keep your
sleeves rolled up and your mind on
your work. That's what brings
prosperity when nothing else will.

WE SOON
FORGET


Very quickly we forget the things
that are not before US daily; we
forget what we don't see or hear
about all the time. The popular
writer, the artist, the movie star,
the business man-all are forgotten
very soon unless they keep them
selves constantly before the public.
For instance, the giggling movie
world has done without Fatty Ar
buckle now for several months and
it looks like they're going to get
along always without him. But
don't you know that every day
serves to get the once-popular come
dian farther and farther away from
the public mind and heart? 1t
makes mighty little difference to the
world what becomes of an indi-
vidual, no matter how much they
may idolize him under a given cir
cumstance. And it's the same way
with a store, with business con-
Germ of any kind. The longer they
are away from the people, the
longer they stay out of print and
don't keep reminding the people
that they are still here, the farther
they get away, the sooner they are
forgotten.
