Says Uncle Dan'el: Seems to me,
there’s something radically
wrong
With our commercial system, econom
ic scheme, when there can be
More wealth, and yet more hunger,
too, than ever—simultaneously.
When gold pours in by millions, more
than all the strong
Board-boxes can contain, when divi
dends pils up in far excess
Os wildest dreams, when profits swell
to gluttonous proportions,
when
The rich are rolling in their super
luxury—and, then,
When Poverty trails after wealth with
strain and stress,
When women fight upon the streets
for food, when salaried men
Must pinch and scrape and be abstem
ious to the point of grim
And pitiable want to make the wage
go ’round—when to the rim
The bins are full of grain, when in the
fields are millioned tons
Os coal —and fuel is so precious that
the poor must feel the chill,
And bread is not to be secured be
cause the hungry have not now

thing out of joint if very ones
Who need prosperity the most must

The price * * * I say there’s some
thing out of joint if very ones
Who need prosperity the most must

That those who do not need may add

To spend * * * This is a problem we
must face and wrestle with until
There is a fair and equitable answer
writ into our economic scheme —
Whereby the worker who devotes his
time and thought and sweat to

Prosperity shall share in its results,
that he may take
A just proportion of the profits piled
beyond the wildest dream.

Others’ “Best Selves.’’
We all find a good deal of comfort in
thinking of our best selves. If we
thought very much about our worst
selves we should be pretty miserable.
Such thinking as we do about "worst
selves’’ is usually about the worst
selves of other people. And our con
sciousness of the worst selves of other
people usually corresponds with our
power to bring out those worst selves
—John D. Barry.
Familiar Remark.
Our second child had red hair, and
1 whenever we took him out someone
I would remark about it. When the
| baby was two years old we were giv
! ing a dinner party and while waiting
for the guests to arrive I was putting
on the last touches and brushed the
baby's hair. He looked up at me and
said: "I pose de lady will say. ‘Wher’
did your baby det his red hair?’ ”—Ex
change.
Had Lost His Words.
Edward had something important to
say one day. and in his eagerness to
talk had hard work to keep from in
terrupting his mother. When she had
finished speaking, his mother asked
Edward what he had to say. but the
little fellow s face suddenly fell, hav
ing forgotten what it w-as. and he ex
claimed. in a tone of great dejection:
“O, mamma. I lost my words."
Resourceful Vocabulary.
“The river Parana," declares the
; prospectus of a real estate agent in

’ in the state, one of the most extended
in the world, it is navigable until to

Americus Hi Girls to Meet
Albany In Basketball Here
It’s great.
The sporting editor of the T.-R. was
on the verge of resigning until he ran
into this grand and delirious news of
feature style.
Well, here it is:
The Americus High school girl’s
basketball team will play a similar
quintet of stars from the Albany High
school in Americus at the Y. M. C. A.
on Friday night. The battle will be
gin at 7:30 o’clock, and barring the
usual short breathing spells with an
occasional re-arrangement of the locks
it should progress for an hour’s inter
esting sport.
The basketball games of the men's
Y’. M. C. A. team have attracted some
attention w'ith a fairly good attend
ance. The indoor sport is attractive.
Still, the highest point in the sport
has been touched by the arrangement
of the game between Americus and
Albany to be played here. (Some time
today the girls will begin to sell tick
ets for the battle, and please do not

COUNTIES KEEPING
FAITH WITH DIXIE
OVERLAND ROUTE
COLUMBUS, Ga., Feb. 27.—The ,
county authorities are keeping faith
with the Dixie Overland Highway as-;
sociatlon, reports Secretary Leland J. |
Henderson, who is making his seventh
trip over the highway in Georgia.
He says: "The commissioners of
the Georgia counties entered into a
contract with the Dixie Overland
Highway association to construct and
maintain a practical year ’round auto
mobile highway for the Dixie Over
land, through the counties traversed
by the highway. All counties so far
visited are repairing the damage caus
ed by the recent rains, and not satis
fied with that, each one is endeavoring
to maintain the best road. The re
sult is that the Dixie Overland is now
the only practical cross Georgia high
way in the state, and is in constant
use.

The sporting ed. has secured the

which not even ye ed. would deny. It

Miss Frances McMath, rs.; Miss Mary
Sue Chambliss, c. (Announcement of

Willie D. Clark, rg.

000 on the highway and the work is
nearing completion. This county now I
has the best constructed and main-:
tained section of road on the highway
in Georgia. The outstanding reason
why the Muscogee road is so good is
the fact that it is dragged, not scrap
ed, but dragged with road drags after
every rain.
"About SIO,OOO has recently been ex
pended on the nine miles of the high
way in Chattahoochee county. This
road was well constructed and w’as
dragged last week.
To Meet Marion Commissioners.
“In Marion county some bad places
in the highway are now being repair
ed. This part of the highway, like
most of the roads in Georgia, suffers
much from lack of regular dragging.
The officers of the association will
meet with the commissioners of Ma
rion and citizens of the county on'
March sth. Marion county has con-!
structed a good road for the Dixii
Overland.
“Schley county has constructed a
fine road for the Dixie Overland. The
percentage of clay in the original con
struction was too great, but recently
that trouble has been largely reme
died. There are, however, two dan
gerous railroad crossings in this coun
ty, which it is hoped the commission
ers will change.
“Macon county has constructed a
good road for the highway, but it has
rather too much clay on the surface,'
and it has not been dragged frequently |
enough. This last objection applies'
also to Schley, Marion and Chattahoo
chee counties, but all of them are ar
ranging for more systematii dragging
Capt. J. T. O’Shield, the six and one
half foot road engineer of Macon coun
ty, has refused to be outdone by Mus
cogee. Thereby hangs a tale. Julian
Lane, the road engineer of Muscogee, !
was formerly road builder of Macon
county. And ex-Mayor Yancy Hill, of
Montezuma, will take his bride —if he
can find one, on a bridal tour to Los
Angeles, over the Dixie Overland, and
says, 'no road on the highway will be
better than the part of it in Macon’
This bragg bids fair to come true, for
SIOO,OOO of bonds for new bridges will
be voted on in Macon within a few
weeks.
Dooly Building Fine Stretch.
"The highway has been routed for
less than two months through Dooly
county. A very good road has been
constructed from the Macon county
line to Byromville, thence to Unadilla
—a fine, clean little town, with two
bnaks of $50,000 capital, and now put
ting on a Chautauqua —and the road
gang is building the road toward
Hawkinsville. This county is doing
good work and already has much fine
road. One mistake is being made, how
ever, in making ditches along the
road. Ditches increase the danger of
travel and usually are not necessary
in a rolling country like that in the
northern part of Dooly county.
“R. O. Pate, chairman of the com
missioners of Pulaski county, says:
‘We are reconstructing the entire Pu
laski county stretch of the Dixie Over
land Highway, putting in permanent
culverts. Our 250 miles of roads are
now all constructed, and we are going
to devote more attention to mainte
nance. You can tell those fellows
west of here who are bragging so
much that they will have to do more
than talk to beat Pulaski in making
and maintaining a good highway for
the Dixie Overland. All of our com
missioners believe in this highway.’
The president of the Hawkinsville
Chamber of Commerce is a member of
the Executive committee of the Dixie
Overland Highway association.
“The methods of our association in
not mapping or advertising the Dtic
Overland until it has been constructed
are being justified. When the sign
rests are in place by the end of March
and the log book published within ths
next sixty days, the Dixie Overland
Highway in Georgia, will be a practi
cal automobile highway, one of the
best, and the best continuous road in
Georgia. This has only been possible
because the authorities of the various
counties have agreed to make it so,
and are keeping their agreements.”

WAR FILMS ARE A

The greatest of them all, without ex
aggeration is Wiibur H. Durborough’s
motion w'ar pictures “One The Firing
Line With The Germans,” which will
be shown here at the Opera House
March sth, under the auspices of the
Americus Times-Recorder. Wilbur H.
Durborough, the official press photog
rapher, has had various experiences
on the battlefield, and the difficulties
surrounding him make it a wonder
that any one got away with any pic
tures at all.
The pictures present a consecutive
narrative starting with the photogra
pher’s departure and continuing
through the aftermath of the fall of
Novo Georgievsk. There is such va
riety of incidents that they move with
such rapidity, keeping the observer al
most at military attention, troops
march, many of them, but not to wea

has its showing—except the big guns
—from the goulash cannon to the bay

stronghold. The prisoners are shown.
