AMERICUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 28, 1915
KOP THE KUP
Thursday Americus opens the Georgia State league baseball season at
home. Thomasville is scheduled to play on that day. Americus fans are
planning to have the largest crowd that ever attended a ball game in
1
Americus, out to see the opening game.
Americus is anxious to “Kop the Kup” that has been offered for the
largest paid attendance on opening day. Already three of the clubs, Doth
an, Brunswick and Thomasville have had their opening games. Dothan
led Brunswick and Thomasville with 3,000 paid admissions.
Last year Americus was second in opening day attendance. Two
thousand and twelve paid to see the Gastonites open the season. Americus
■
wants 3,600 fans out to the opener Thursday.
Americus has demonstrated time and again that she can do anything
she sets her heart on doing. Just recently she tore the word “CAN’T” out
of the Americus version of the dictionary, by entertaining 2,000 visitors
to the Sunday school convention, when homes for 750 only had been pro
vided.
Americus can “Kop the Kup” if the good people of the city and
neighboring towns really want the trophy. It will be a nifty feather in our
cap to win this attendance trophy, especially after things looked so stormy
baseballetically earlier in the spring.
Here’s the idea. Let every man, woman and child in Americus and
Sumter turn out to this opening game. Americus needs the advertising
that goes with winning the attendance trophy. Ameriucs needs to “Kop
the Kup.”
Let's adopt this slogan “Kop the Kup,” and get busy. Let’s be there
when the umpire yells play ball and let's help the home club by opening
up and making some noise right.
We’ll look for you. Os course you’ll help us “Kop the Kup.”
NO PINEY WOODS
The Tifton Gazette says: Congressman Bill Howard, in a talk to the
Butchers’ association in Atlanta the other day, told them that the pine/
woods of South Georgia is the finest hog raising section in the South.
Congressman Bill is all right as to the section, but the piney woods
are no more. The pines that once covered the hills of South Georgia are
gone forever. Occasionally you can find small tracts of a few acres of
timber that have been carefully preserved, but with few exceptions the
great pine forests that were one of South Georgia’s greatest sources of
wealth have disappeared.
But the lands are here, and the pines have given way to the plow. The
piney-woods rooter that was once a stock joke with our Northern friends
(and we had the joke sprung on us no longer ago than last week) has
gone with the pines. His place is being taken by blooded stock and the
once haphazard methods are giving place to practical and scientific stock
raising. South Georgia, is truly the granary of the state, and it is
also fast developing into its great meat-producing section.
With the amendments above specified, we pass up Congressman Bill s
staliment with an O. K.
It is said that Huerta is listening for a recall. However, they don't
want the same old brand of trouble.—Atlanta Constitution.
Ex-Congressman Burton’s friends insist that he is good presidential
timber, in spite of the fact that his first name is Theodore.—Sparta Ish
maelite.
Barnes’ lawyer asked the Colonel questions just exactly as if the Col
onel were not different from the common rule of witnesses. The effrontery
of some folks passeth understanding.—Albany Herald.

It is estimated now' that about one-half of the quantity of fertilizer
used in Georgia last year will be used this year. It is not probable that
the cotton acreage will be greatly reduced.—Dublin Courier.
The spectacle of the boss of the G. O. P. i New York and the mighty
aad doughty Colonel in a death grapple in the courts of that state is an

Austria is probably hesitating between giving it to Italy without a
fight and letting Russia have it after being licked.—Daily Observer.
Improving Country Home
A new fatcor in the progressive ag
ricultural development of the country
that is being thought of in a new w r ay
is the farm residence. We have much
of improved country, schools, churches
and highways, but little has been done
to improve the homes
Too many farm houses fre poorly
equipped for doing the work that has
to be done in them. Improved machin
ery and new methods for field work
now conserves time, and save in that
way money, and yet the lack of labor
saving devices keeps a W'oman trudg
ing around a house day in and day out,
doing work that she might accomplisn
very quickly if she had the proper ma
chinery to save her time.
Farming is now a business, and like
any other business it must have a cen
ter. The center of the farming busi
ness is the farm home, and it is just
as much a problem to reorganize the
house as it is to reorganize the farm
Very many of our farm houses were
built many years ago ,and must soon
* j
be torn down and rebuilt or remodeled,
and, when changes are made, add new
features that will make it more con
venient. Now that we are appreciating
the relations between health and dust,
the germs that lurk in dust, we feel
differently about the construction and
furnishings of our homes.
We use liquid to dust with, we know
how to make a filler for cracks that
will not make it necessary to cover old
floors with dusty carpets, and we know
how simple a matter it is to generate
power to do much of the household
work. Applied power to the operations
of the farm work has been used a long
time, but not to any great extent in the
house. Every country home should
have running water in it and out of it,
with some system of sewerage.
One thing the clubs are surely doing
—they are helping the women to find
themselves. They are learning the val
ue of themselves and their work, and
the farmer woman can be just as much
the money-maker as the farmer man.
She need not plow the field and har
vest the crop, but she produces the
meals that brings efficiency and she
saves money in the home. A well pre
pared meal is a big financial asset in
the home; it gives the nutrition that
gives working power, and sends the
men out with strength and ability to
work. Domestic science teaches a wo
man to make a meal more scientific by
having it suitable and well balanced.
Give the girls the scientific course
in home-making, domestic science does
not mean just cooking.
The woman’s share in the farm part
nership is 50 per cent, and she should
be prepared to meet her responsibil
ities.
On the outside, too, there is a great
deal for the woman to do toward may
ing that farm partnership pay. If the
home is new or run down the first
thing the woman wants to do is to
beautify it. She wants the broken
down fences, disfiguring buildings and
unsightly sheds removed. She wants
the chickens enclosed in a yard of their
own, so she can have her garden and
flowers unmolested.
Vines and flowers will do more than
anything else to cover up the old home
