My Neighbor Says:

To serve % persons 31s quarts
Of salad is required. Prepare
70 sandwiches for the same
number of persons.
A pinch of soda added to the
flour and II teaspoonful of vine
gar added to the water before
mixing will make a deliciously
tender and f1aky pie crust.
If white oilcloth is pasted on
the outside of your set tubs and
tackled on the board covering
them, they will be very easily
kept clean and far more attrac.
tive in appearance.
To clean ivory rub the stained
parts with lemon juice, then
with whiting made into a paste
with a little lemon juice. Allow
this to dry OIL. and when it is
perfectly dry rub off with a soft
cloth or wash and afterward
polish with a soft cloth.
Do not iron pongee while
damp, as this will either spot or
stiffen the silk. Allow the pom
gee to dry, press on the wrong
side and it will look like new.
If chicken is we'll rubbed in

just now about character teaching.
Most ST the interested people want to
introduce courses in morality [ do
not believe that such courses would
help much. The pupil who takes the
attitude that all he needs is enough
ito get by will not get much from
a course in morality, 1 think. What
he needs is to have his passing mark
raised to where he will have to do
an honest job in order ito get by."
1t is in doing work to high standard
that the moral values of the course of
study lies, not the information.

Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1925-10-06

Have they been turning in much
this week." is a question asked the
circulation campaign manager nu-
merous times Saturday and Friday
by participants calling at headquar-
tiers to make turn-ins in the Tines
Recorders $4,000 Gift Distribu-
ton. Have they been turning in
much this week." seemed to be
a question uppermost in the minds
of most candidates.
Some asked the question because
they, themselves had taken an &C
tual and mental vacation this past
week. They wondered if others
had, too. Misery loves company,
you know. Others asked the ques-
ton because they were hitting the
ball with good results and hoped
competitors were sleeping,
Yes, They" Are Working
The answer is that "they" have
been turning in much this wee.
However, the they" referred to in
most cases, consists of participants
who, in the past, have not averaged
so high in rank. "They" have
awakened while some others, APP
parently content with past perform
ance, wer content to linger
along and gloat over their good
work. 1t is not what you did last
period that is going to win for you
Just store this statement away and
remember it. And the reason is be-
cause of the closeness of the race.
Without the splitting of hairs, it is
impossible to tell whotoday's lead
er is in any district. Those who
constitute the first division of the
scores, that is the leaders and i'm
mediate runners-up, are on such
even terms that the race will be de-
cided on the future activity or
inactivity of the several partici-
pants.
That's why this big second per-
iod vote schedule and this big sec
ond period, itself, is so important.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1925-10-06

No one has anything "cinched' in
any way, shape or form. Yet sew
eral are well within striking dis
lance of the goal. Work done these
remaining second period days, or
the lack of it will most likely be
the determining factor in deciding
who will win the big gifts.
Time Is Limited
Up until a week from Saturday
night a six year subscription cred
its one with 100000 votes regular
ly. If the subscription is a new
one there are 10000 bonus votes
on each new year, or 100000 votes.
The sum of 100000 votes and
100000 votes is $50, 900 votes. A
six year subscription by carrier sells
for $46.80 and by mali for 1856.
For every Club" of subscriptions
turned in 100000 extra votes are
given. A Club" is $l2 in sub
scriptions. A six year subscription,
then, counts almost four clubs. our
clubs means 100000 votes. Add
this to the $4,000 and we have a
total Of around $4,000 votes for a
six year subscription, this big vote
period.
All new subscriptions this period
cntitle participants to a bonus vote
Of 10000 for each new year. A
one year subscription this big vote
period counts 5000 votes. Four viii
count 32,00$ votes. A one-year
subscription sells for $3.50 by car
rier and Sc by mail and is more
than one club. That means 100000
extra votes. SO four renewal sub
scriptions for year will credit you
10000 votes. If the four are new
then there are four bonuses of
10000 each or 10000, This added
to the $4,000 brings the total
$4,000 votes. Ten one-year new
subscriptions this period will credit
any participant with all of 100000
votes. All subscriptions this period,
whether old or new, rae valuable.

Surplus of Teachers
In Grant County This Year

For the first time in several years
Grant county is facing a surplus OF
school teachers" said County Super1n-
tendent of Schools F. e. Ralph. This
does not necessarily mean that many
of our available force will be out OF
employment next school year. In all
probability those who fail of finding
work in Grant county may go to other
sections where there are fewer teach
ers."
From other sources of information
it developed that some of the rural
school boards are out for bargain
teachers. Not all of them, but some
are trying to get under the regular
schedule rates for teachers of expert
ence. 1t is said that one of the new
requirements for a rural teacher is
social leadership. A school ma'am
who can dance well, or plan and ex-
ecute party, is considered in some
places as really desirable.
The summer session at Platteville
Normal is closed. 1t was not so large
in attendance as other recent years,
but it was called a very successful
term. More old-time teachers than
formerly took advantage of it to
brush up on essential and progress
sive points.
On Tuesday the Platteville Kiwanis
club gave their annual picnic to stu
dents of the summer course. 1t was
accounted a very pleasant and success
full party.

ale or beer you want. 1t is to per
cent. stuff. Most Americans try the
ale and stout and find they like their
own beer best. That is, if they could
get it. The government liquor stores
are not crowded and as ale and beer
are cheap and hard stuff" is high,
though good, the drinking class pre-
fers the brews.
On shipboard liquors, wines or
matted drinks are Sold The patron
age is not heavy. The English and
Scotch passengers buy a drink and
talk and smoke. 1 am ashamed to
say, but must confess that the i'm
preston abroad is that Americans
coming over are Incorporate, if not
drunkards.
A first class passage to Scotland via
Montreal cost $145, plus extras. The
extras are spending money and tips.
Gratuities are expected, but the
servants are not grasping and render
pleasant, prompt service.
Nothing to do now but read, smoke
and watch the unfolding, green pano-
rama of the st. Lawrence Valley.
Will write again from Glasgow and
later from London.
Kindest regards and best wishes to
all.

YOUTHS SLUG,

ing $3.50.

WAUKESHA-(U P)- Waukesha
county officials today were searching
for 8 youths and staged a highway rob
berry on the road between Nashotah
and Oconomowoc, escaping with $3.50
taken from Frank Cook, Oconomowoc
insurance collector, when he stopped
to give them a lift.
Cook was hailed by the three youths
who were trudging along the dusty
road shortly after noon one day last
week When he stopped to pick them
up, one of the bandits leaped on the
running board and slugged him.
When he regained consciousness he
was sprawled out in the front seat
and the $3.50 he carried in his pockets
was gone. 1t is thought the bandits
escaped in light sedan which was
parked on the road near the scene of
the hold-up. Several persons saw a
similar machine speeding toward Mil
waukee.
The hold-up took place on high
way 10, an unpaved strip of state road
connecting two main roads.
Milwaukee police have been asked
to be on the lookout for a trio answer
ing the description of the three young
bandits.
Cooks injuries are not serious, al
though his scalp was badly bruised by

TWO DAYS ONLY
Return Visits Made Regularly
NO CHARGE FOR CONSULTATION

The successful rupture expert, Mr..
C. F. Redlich, has this to say to you:
You cannot acquire an efficient, conf
Portable rupture appliance by mail
anymore than you can a set of teeth.
You cannot buy one over the counter
You cannot fit yourself. 1t cannot be
done.
Only an experts personal work with
scientific, highgrade, proven applian-
ces will ever make you comfortable
for years to come, able to perform any
kind of work with a good chance Of
becoming normal again without an OPP
Grafton.
When you have just discovered the
rupture or while it is yet small, then
is the time when the experts personal
services produce the most gratifying
results and the chances for complete
recovery are most favorable. 1t is
most important that you should come
at that stage.
Old and aggravated cases however
can also be much benefited and re-
lieved by these scientific appliances.
A decided Improvement will be ap-
parent in few weeks lin every case.
Letters from highly satisfied patients
will be shown you.
Do not waste your money on all
kinds of worthless contraptions adj
vertised as new inventions, or new
methods, with filthy chatting leg straps,
worthless medicines and equally
worthless guarantees of cure. There
is nothing new about them and they
do not get you anywhere. After
short trial you will throw them away;
they make your condition worse in
stead of better.
Personal attention is the only thing
which will ever help you and will save
you money in a long run. Your op-
portunity is here now.
95 per cent of all children, according
to statistics, get rid of their ruptures

for several weeks in making survey
of the roads, village and city streets
in the counties of Iowa, Lafayette,
Grant, Crawford and RichIand in order
that a proper allotment of the pro-
ceeds of the gasoline tax may be
made.
Under the new gas tax townships
and villages will participate in this
great fund to the extent of $25 per
mile, exclusive Of state and county
highways. Country roads, so-called,
will draw from the state treasury
sums that will soon put them into
good shape. Cities will draw $50 per
mile for street work.
In order to determine the exact
amount that each political unit may
draw, this survey is being made.

For Fall Campaign

That the horse is not gone for good
is demonstrated every day at the fair
grounds, where seven speedsters are
being trained in the way they should

start with the green ones.
OF course Joe Mccoy has two, at
least two. They are, Jack Murphy and
Big Bingen.
Ellie Dobson has his George S.; Doc
Duncan has Trampworth and Mark
Fast, two that are very promising.
Then there are two from Dubuque,
green but promising.
