GOOD TALKS HEARD AT
MARKETING CONFERENCE

several splendid talks were made
to the gathering Of farmers at the
marketing conference held at Carne-
gle library auditorium Saturday un-
der the auspices of the state college
Of agriculture. Because the day was
Saturday, when few farmers will at
tend meetings, the gathering was
smaller than had been hoped for, but
it was a crowd which listened earn
cstly to what was said. John Ridgon
spoke on sour cream, dairying and
permanent pastures, advocating the
development of the milk COW on the
farm as money producer. Miss Lois
Dowdell spoke of the women's place
in the modern farm scheme, it being
a highly practical and generally APP
preciated discussion, and j. w. Oliver
talked on present marketing and farm
conditions and how the farmer can
best meet them. Two of the speak
ers on the bill were unable 70 be
present and only a single session was
held:

a, 600 ACRE PLANTATION
is LOST BY ENGLISHNlE.Fs

ALBANY, Feb. 13.-The Hines
place, a tract of 1900 acres in
Worth county just across the line
from Dougherty and said to be one
of the most fertile pieces of land in.
this section, has reverted to the Put
new and Wetherbee interests of Al
bany after having been sold to
company of Englishmen who incor-
porated under the name of the Hines
Plantation Co. The Englishmen
bought. the place for $169,000 and
paid 100000 in cash, but were not
able to complete the payments or to
pay interest on the deferred pay
ments and the property was sold
under a power Of sale in the security
deed. F. F. Putney and E. e. and
j. r. Wetherbee bought the property
in for $4,000, they having been the
sellers. The Englishmen probably
failed because they acquired the
property just as the financial slump
began and farm products hit the
chutes.

HOUSEWIVES
MOVE TO SERVE:
HOME PRODUCTS
Conference OF Women, Grocers
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
club of Americus have undertaken
a movement to change customs and
conditions here in that respect. Brief
ly, they believe, that inasmucll 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, will rem
edy the situation to great extent
and save thousands of dollars to the
community annually.
And so conference has been ar
ranged for next Friday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock at the Carnegie Ii
library. 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 asRed to be
present to exchange views and lend
cooperation to the movement, which
all agree, il it succeeds will benefit
the business men Of the community
as much as anyone else. And, last
ly, all truckers and farmers interest
ed 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 os the Wo-
mans club handling this movement,
is issuing an invitation to all the
other women's clubs of the commune
| ty to have their memberships present
at this conference Friday afternoon
so that the movement may be given
| the proper start.
It's a 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
shippedsin from other states. We
[ need to get cooperation between the
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. 1t is preposterous to

DAY ISCHANCED
TO WEDNESDAY,;
|. CONTRACTS FOR
YEAR ARE SIGNED
Merchants Enter Into Arrange
ments With Times-Recorder
To Handle All Detail Work

Merchants members of the Ameri-
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 stocks 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 / 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
event Americus mas ever seen.
In re-establishing the Golden Rule
sales, which proved very popular, and
brought much new trade from dis
tance to Americus, the merchants of
Americas have entered into new
arrangement, having signed individ-
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 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-
yiously were undertaken by the Of
ficers of the Ad club, will now be
done by the Times-Reeorder as a 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-
tion and as a rsult of their expert
ence with the first two sales. They
reached the conclusion that farmers
WilU usually CDltc W SUWl Oil 0ettuA-
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
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 i'm
portant part Of the monthly Golden
Rule event. 1t will remain In charge
of George O. Marshall, S. R. 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 Ct Golden
Rule sales in Americas on large
scale, with better values than ever

JUDGE LUKE MENTIONED
FOR NEW FEDERAL BENCH

THOMASVILLE, Feb. 13-In con-
nection with the recent assertion of
Governor HardWRk that he would
not consider an.appointment to the
federal BENCH in Georgia, it is stated
with some degree of local interest
that Judge Roscoe Luke, of the Court
of Appeals is being mentioned as the
most likely appointee, should there
be Democrat named for the posi-
ton. Judge Luke smiles whenever it
is mentioned, but nevertheless his
fldends consider Him the likeliest
timber in the event he has not def
niteiy determined to be candidate
for governor two years hence.

ing, but said he understood it was a
negro.
Harvey is the father and DeVane

VOMEN'S WIT And
GOOD LUCK FIND
STOLEN CADILLAC.
Thief Gets Frank Horrild Car
And Abandons 1t At
Cordele

To locate her stolen new Cadillac
car in a neighboring city within few
minutes after its loss was discover
cd was the record made Sunday by
Mrs. Frank Harold, of Americus,
thanks to her own ingenuity and that
of her neighbor, Mrs. T. 0. Marshall.
The car stolen from the Harold ga
rage sometime after II o'clock Sat
urday night and its loss was not dis
covered by Mrs. Harold until about
10 o'clock Sunday morning. Short
" after it was located in Cordele
and Sunday afternoon she drove it
back home, uninjured.
The incident took place during the
absence of Mr.. Harold, who is on
motor trip to Florida with relatives,
Mrs. harold being at home alone
with e. er mother, Mrs. Walker, Of
Monroe
During the visit here of relatives
Of Mrs Marshall from Quitman one
section of the Harold garage had
been used for the visitors car. Sat
urday night they were out driving
and when they returned at IL o'clock
and put their car up they found the
Harold Cadillac standing in the
driveway, with barely enough room
for them to drive around it.
Early Sunday Sunday morning
they got their car again to start for
home in Quitman. Mrs Harrold's
car was gone and so was the lap robe
from their own car. They made no
inquiry, supposing Mrs. Harold had
gone for an early morning ride and
taken their robe along for comfort,
Intending to return it, SO they start
ed for Quitman without the robe, ac-
comDanied as far as Albany by Mr..
Marshall, who intended to spend the
day with his uncle, Mr.. Waddell.
About 10 o'clock Mrs. Harold was
talking by phone with Mrs. Marshall
when the Harold car was mentioned
and Mrs Marshall stated that it was
not in the garage, Investigation fol-
lowed Mrs. harrold's exclamation of
surprise, developing that it has been
stolen. Chief Bragg was notified and
then hurried consultation with
nclghbors was held. Recalling that
Albany was the center of an auto
thief gang a few months ago, Mrs.
Marshall suggested that Mrs. Har-
rold call Mr.. Marshall in Albany and
aas him to notify the officers there.
Mr.. Marshall had not reached Al
bany, but Mr.. Waddell took the mes
sage. Within ten minutes he callev
back and informed Mrs. Harold tina
,he sheriff Of Crisp county had jus
arrived in Albany with the news tina
4 new Cadillac had seen taken q
oordele that morning. A quick cal
10 Cordele police confirmed the state
ment. The sergeant on dut
stated that negro had arrived ther
at the railroad station about a. m
and that when an officer started t
approach him he jumped out and flee
lie aaid the negro was lame and wa
dressed in kahki and puttees.
Sunday afternoon Mrs. Harrol
was taken to Cordele by Thoma
Harold and the car was turned owe
TO her and driven back home.
