As one who cons at evening o'er an
album all all alone.
And muses on the faces of the friends
that he has known,
So I turn in the leaves of fancy till,
in shadowry design,
I find the smiling features of an old
sweetheart of mine.
I can see the pink sunbonnet and the
little checkered dress
She wore when first I kissed her and
she answered my caress,
With. the written declaration that “as
surely as the vine
Grew round the stump,” she loved me
—that old sweetheart of mine.
Ai.d again I feel the pressure of her
slender little hand,
As we used to talk together of a
future we had planned—
When 1 should be a poet, and with
nothing else to do
But to write the tender verses that she
set music to.
When we should live to gether in a
little cosy cot
Hid in a nest of roses, with a fairy
garden spot,
Where the vines were ever fruited,
and the weather ever fine,
And the birds were ever singing for
that old sweetheart of mine.
When I should be her lover ofrever
and a day,
And she my faithful sweetheart till
the golden hair was gray;
And we should be so happy that when
either's lips were dumb
They would not smile in Heaven till
the other’s kiss had come.
But, ah! my dream is broken by a
If You’ve Been Thinking
of New Footwear—
Then the question of a new pair of pumps is
in order
There are many other questions that might
come to mind if you were thinking of new loot
wear—three stand out prominently—STYLE, FIT
PRICE.
That the STYLES shown are unquestionably
correct is emphasized by the fact that these pumps
are exact duplicates of models selling to $lO a pair.
Whatever else is considered, FIT is a very im
portant element in relation to the sure satisfaction
you are to secure from any shoe. We’ve made a
study of fitting correctly.
And now, the PRlCE—the price of these new
pumps is $3 to $5 ? pair Made of various colored
kid skin (tne season’s most popular and wanted
shoe material' black and white calfskin and white
canvas.

In discussing this and similar move
ments ofr stimulating interest in ed
ucaticn in th? home, Commissioner of
Education Claxton declares:
“People have sometimes thought that
the .education of children depends
principally upon the school. They
forget that the school is only a sup
plementary agency, one which has for
most children come into existence in
very recent years. It does only that
which tie h?mc finds in the complex
life of the present it can not do so
well. The home is always the central
educational agency, the one that deals
with the little child first, that deals
with him most, that has most of the
tim? during the years of school, an 1
is responsible for him after he has lefft
school.
“American children are in school
less than 4 per cent, of their time from
birth to 21 years of age. The home, the
primitive and primary institution for
the education of children, is still the
most important agency for education
for life—physical, mental, moral, in
dustrial, economic, social, civic. Any
agency, therefore, that would promote
right education most effectually must
finds some means of cooperating with
the home and of helping parents, who
are the most constant, and should be
the most effective, teachers of their
children.”

CAMPAIGN WITH
HELP Os MATTER
L .
A campaign for a revival of interest
. and a healthier support of the Amer
icus Y. M. C. A. will start Wednesday.
State Secretary McQonnell will reach
' the city tonight or Wednesday, and
will have active charge of the work, of
course assisted by the local secretary,
- and various committees.
' According to the officials, a vigorous
and rapid effort Is to be put forth to
( save the association from being closed
again. A lack of co-operation la
i charged to the people of Americus,and
it Is contended that if the work is to
continue there must be a stronger and
more hearty co-operation on the part
, of Americus people outside the mem
[ bership. It Is further contended that
very little Interest is shown in the as
sociation by a great many of the bet
■ ter class of our citizens, that they
. never enter the building, nor do they
encourage or lend a helping word to
the secretary. The question hero
arises: Is this right? Let the Ameri-
• cus people answer.
Among the things cited to be done
and provided for, if the association is
tu continue is a swimming pool, a
heating plant for the building, a new
supply of linen, a sanitary drinking
outfit in the lobby, a shower bath, a
third floor for rooms, a number of
games of recreation for members and
their friends, and last but not least a
definite understanding between the di
rectors and the secretary.
To the ends desired and mentioned
above, active work will begin just as
soon as Secretary McDonnell arrives.
During the campaign lunch will be
served at the Chamber ot Commerce
for the committeemen.
During th? campaign no six months
memberships will be accepted, and the
dues will be as follows: Annual dues;
Men, $10.00; Boys, 15 to 18 years, $7.50;
Juniors, 10 to 14 years, $5.00.
The Times-Recorder bespeaks for
these workers in a good cause the
cons! leration that is due them and a
hearty support at the hands of Amer
icus people.
The Want au means a quick return
Ti anything you want. Try them once.
The Royal Case
For al.dies and Gentlemen
Just opened. Gives excellent service.
The menu consists of the best the mar
ket affords and you get what you want.
