BUY-IT-NOW
‘ Americus merchants have up-to-date stocks ready for the purchaser.
Americus buyers can stop all this ’’war talk” toy patronizing the mer
chants. Business is opening up. Be ter times are coming, in fact, are al
* ready here.
It rests with the buyer to stimulate trade. The merchant can’t over
• come business depression. The buyer is the fellow that will start the
wheels of prosperity.
Every dollar spent with an Americus merchant stays at home. The
merchant pays his rent, pays his clerks, pays his igroceryman, pays his
taxes, with the dollar.
One dollar spent accimplishes more good for a community than mil
lions hoarded. One dollar can change hands a dozen or more times each
day and accomplish that much good.
The patriotic citizen is not the fellow whoa hoards his money and
' waits for “better times’ ti spend it. He buys what he needs by by putting
his money ir> «irculation stimulates local conditions.
' Good ‘fade means more clerks. More clerks mean more board paid.
More board paid means more grocery bills paid. Which in turn means
rent paid, taxes paid, etc. One dollar in circulation can work wonders.
Let’s start a big “Buy-It-Now” campaign. Let’s put our money in cir
culation and help stimulate local conditions.
THE B. P. O. E. CONVENTION
Americus Elks are making elaborae plans for attending the big state
gathering of their order next week in Waycross. While the local lodge is
going to the convention to enjoy the festivities, their main purpose in.
attending the big joy meeting is to make a fight to land the 1916 convention
for Americus.
Already several lodges in the state have been pledged to Americus and
the locals are fully confident of being chosen the next meeting place of the
big state convention. Americus is gong to be heard from when the invi
tations for the 1916 meeting are ready.
Fifty strong, Americus will invade the Wiregrass city, in private
sleepers. Americus literature, Americus oratory, Americus wit, Americus
joy; in fact, everything that will 'help land the convention will be carried
along by the locals to the convention of the Best People on Earth.
The fact that Americus has recently qualified as an ideal convention
city coupled with her natural resources and characteristic hospitality, will
go a long way in creating sentiment in favor of Americus. Americus is
going to make a strong bid for the 1916 convention with its 3,000 delegates
and visitors. And Americus is going to land the convention.

LONDON, May 7. —Seven heroic
statues of English Kings, which form

in the old Westminister Hall, near
Westminister Abbey, are gathering
dust in an obscure warehouse, because
no suitable place for them can be
found.
The huge status were accepted by
the City Corporation as a loan in per

to how to dispose of them. All sorts
of suggestions have been made and

Russian Cossacks Closely

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 7.—“ A
pprenticed to Mars at birth, as were the
Spartans before them, the Cossacks,
survivals from a young, non-industrial,
in-the-spur world are the most pic
turesque fighters on uErope’s battle
fields. A frontier’s folk like the people
cf our early West, a mixture of many
adventurous elements, and constituting
within their own country a class more
distinctive than that of the American
cowboy, they have finally been subdued
to the needs of the great Imperial gov
ernment at Petrograd, taken over just
as they were into its machinery, and
preserved as a soldier-caste. A wild,
conquering, freebooting folk, the Cos
sacks have been brought within the
fold of Russian civilization as soldiers,
descendants of warriors and progenit
ors of generations of soldiers to meet
the future needs of Slav empire.”
“It is with these Cossacks, the men
who, in the leisure of national peace,
conquered the vast empire of Siberia
for Russia, and who, in each Russian
war for the last 100 years, have formed
the Tsar’s irresistible first-line
strength, that today's statement of

tain difficulties stood in the way. The
statutes are of such a character that
they cannot be exposed to the weath
er, and there is distinct opposition to
dividing the Kings among several
museums or public buildings, none of
which seem capable of housing the en
tire group artisticallly.
It is not unlikely that they will be
allowed to remain in the warehousa
until some new art museum is erected
in which the provision for them caa be
made. The statues are by the leading
sculptors of their time and are regard
ed by art experts as works of consid
erable merit.
the National Geographic Society deals.
More hearly defining this military folk,
the statement continues:
* The Cossacks are a people of the
limitless steppes, a people of close cor
coration, situated in Russia as a race
apart, a soldier-caste, their state a
military organization, their connection
with the great empire maintained
through the Imperial War Department,
the administration of their internal af
fairs practically in .thejr own hands,
and their privileges as a caste almost
as pronounced as were those of the
Spartan soldier-citizen, or more com
parable to the soldier-caste of older
Indian organization. The Cossacks
came of the original Slav stock, but
they were those Slavs who never bow
ed their heads beneath a qoke foreigu
or domestic, who lived a free life on
the borders of their race’s civilization,
wandering, fighting, bucan.ieer SI a"
tribes, who penetrated deeply inti
Tartar and Georgian lands, who lived
by the hunt and by plunder, and who
maintained themselves on the borders
of Asia and Europe free of all serfdom.
"These sturdy Russian wanderers as
similated many adventurous elements,

Made Strong By Delicious Vinol
Lakeport, N. H. —“Our little gir! 8
years of age was in a debilitated, run
down condition and had a stubborn
cough so she was weak and ailing all
the time. Nothing helped her until
we tried Vinol. Then her appetite
increased and she is strong and well, and

children would try Vinol.” — Geo. A.

took up among them many Tartars and
Slavs, and, so, today the Cossack type
is a more or less distinct one. The total
Cossack population of Russia is more
than 3,000,000. Some years ago, they
owned nearly 146,500,000 acres of land,
of which 105,000,000 was araole and 9,-
400,000 forest land. This land is held
toy the Cossacks in community parti
tion as a State reward for their mili
tary service. It will be seen that Hie
Cossack holdings amount to about 50
acres for each man, woman and child
of the people. There is an admiring
half envious Russian catchword about
being as free and as rich as a Cossack.
“The Cossacks are the rough riders
of Europe. As the cowboys of the Am
erican plains and the ;gauchos of the
Pampas, the Cossacks are an intensely
interesting, wild, free, plain folk, who
live in the saddle in the open places,
and whose rough democracy is the ev
pression of the same naive, rudimen
tary culture as that of their New
World brothers-in-spirit. None of their
members are allowed to starve, and
none of them have succeeded in win
ning overmastering position through
the laying up of great wealth.
“The Cossack is favored by the State
and is a main prop of the State’s au
thority. To be born a Cossack is to be
born a soldier. Every Cossack bears
the obligation of twenty years military
service. He enters into this service at
the age of 18; spends 3 years in a pre
liminary Cossack division; next passes
12 years in active service, and spends
his last 5 military years in the Cos
sack reserve. It is the picked men from
his ranks who constitute the Imperial
Guard, a body of the finest type of
fighters, whom the Tsar can trust,
when he can trust no one else around
him. These Cossack soldiers have
been able to threaten Europe; they
have been the empire's most efficient
internal police, and they have marched
eastward io the Pacific and southward
to the zones of British influence, ccn
quering for the Tsar a vast domain in
cluding many nations. The Cossacks
have dearly avenged their fellow Slavs
for the hardships they have received at
the hands of the Tartar hodes of Asia.”
