* AMERICUS GEORGIA, TUESDAY AFTERNOON JULY 13, 1915
The Germans in this country who are urging President Wilson to .iloo
the war with which he has noth ug to do might accomplish something by
addressing their communications to the Kaiser in Berlin.
A writer for the New York Sun says monkeys are the most intelli
gent cf all animals. Well, it must be conceded that a monkey is capable
of some very smart tricks, and that he never writes poetry, sings tenor or
plays the mandolin.
~ '.a., * i
There is not the least doubt that our old friend Vic Huerta realizes
that it is a far cry from the El Pas 0 jail to the national palace in the
City of Mexico, but we hope that the jail authorities are considerate
enough to provide for the daily irrigation of his arid system.
The Joliet, 111., News-Herald says: “One of the most interesting fea
tures of the groom’s part :’r the wedding was the fact that the suspenders
which he wore had been carefully embroidered seventy years ago by his
grandmother for his grandfather’s wedding day.” Great Scott! It seems to
us that when an old pair of suspenderscan attract more attention than the
groom the time to quit marrying has come.
A Kansas editor says If men were built like pianos there would be
more square and upright men in :he world, but one of his contemporaries
while admitting that it may be true, asks him just to think of the noise
they would make.
The Salem, N. J., Standard says: “Mrs. Joseph Westcott had ler
bulkhead rebuilt during the past week.” e wonder if the work was done
by a surgeon or a carpenter. The fact that a woman is not usually equip
ped with a bulkhead interests us, but these days nobody can tell to what
extremes the feminist movement wil I go.
Fashion did a good thing when it changed the style of facial shrub
bery and got the goat of the fellow who wore the goatee.
Manufacturers in this country nave made a great deal of money out of
the European shell game without betting anything on it
If the commanders of German submarines don’t, stop using Norwegian
ships for target practice it will not be long before Norway is without a
merchant marine.
A fashion magazine says blue veils preserve the complexion, but there
is not a woman in the country with a good complexion who is going to hide
it with a veil.
On the Fourth of July in Europe a great many people were killed and
Injured by the explosion of gunpowder and the indiscriminate shooting of
firearms.
Tn view of the fact that the Hon Bill Bryan has espoused the cause of
prohibition, George Bailey of the Houston Post thinks that ‘Peerless
Leader” is a misnomer and hereafter the Hon. Bill should be called the
“beerless” leader.
We are not startled by the news from Europe that “there is great ac
tivity in the theaters of war,” because here is where we expect to see ac
tion, but the truth as to what is really going on is a different matter.
Some people find pleasure in almost everything they do, but our idea
of zero entertainment is attending a funeral.
What has become of the old-fashioned entertainer who used to set his
audience in a roar by reciting “The Lady of the One Fishball,” especially
the part where “the waiter cried it through the hall, ‘We don’t give bread
with one fishball’?”
If there is anything in the old saying about faith that moves moun
tains the woman who believes everything her husband tells her has faith
enough to make this old world reverse its motions.—Senoia Enterprise.
We are tremendously interested in United States superdreadnaughts
and submarines, but for all that we realize that a few steel freight barges
■ on Flint river would be mighty ■worth while. —Albany Herald
The nimble nickel is losing naught of its nimbleness —Charleston Post.

It is earnestly hoped that the legislature will pass the bill relieving
college endowment funds from tax. Georgia can well afford to protect and
promote the various interests of its educational institutions as other
states that have been doing so for years, and It is urged by the state
press that Governor Harris’ message to the legislature be given the con
sideration it deserves. —Griffin News.
We are in favor of a highway commission, if it means better roads.
It seems, how-ever, that the needs might be met by adding a department of
good roads to some of the state departments already in existence, and put
ting a competent road man in charge. One man who is a real road
builder, and not a politician, would accomplish more than a commission
will accomplish.—Moultrie Observer.

COTTON I BIT STEADIER
BBT PRICE IS DOWN
KAISER BILL IS HAMMERING THE
SOUTH’S STAPLE.
The cotton market this morning re
flected a slight advance and at noon
was steady, with the July option at
9.10 cents. The market has declined
sharply as the result of Germany’s de
fiant note to the United States two
days ago, and the prospect for still
lower values seems imminent. In the
Americus market there is nothing do
ing in the way of sales or demand.

MIDGET SOLDIER
IN FRENCH ARMY
(By Associated Press.)
PARIS, July 13. —The shortest sol
dier in the French army is Guy Cou
dedt, w'ho stands 3 feet 6 inches, but
is solidly built enough to carry a
soldier’s load. When he presented
himself at the recruiting office at
Versailles the surgeon on duty re
fused to examine him, but later he
was incorporated in the 168th in
fantry at Lens. The butt and ridicule
because of his diminutive stature, he
proved he could follow the pace and
soon earned the stripes of corporal.
