ENGLISH PUBLIC SCHOOL
BOYS ECONOMIZING FOR
PERIOD OF THE WAR
LONDON, April 24.—The English
public school boy is doing his little for.
England today.
Eton and Harrow, England’s two
great public schools, have kiven up
“tuck shops” and creases until after
the war.
The bays of Harrow decided on their
own initiative not to buy any more
pastry or candy at the tuck shops and
not to have their trousers pressed
while the war lasts. The boys of Eton
had measures similarly restricting
their gastronomies and their nether
garments thrust upon them.
Bread, meat and sugar, the A B C’s
of the Pood Controller’s thou shalt
not’s, are included in the sweeping
ordinance the youngsters of Harrow
imposed upon themselves. They have
agreed not to buy any article of food
containing these three substances ex
cept during the regular hours for
meals, and then to tsay within the sug
gested limits each week. As for their
tailors, they’re going to cut them out
altogether. The good old “under the
mattress” hiding place will have to
dc the trick to keep the young Harrow -
ians from looking as though they were
ready to jump.
The Eton boys neglected to adopt
similar measures in time and the
teachers did it for them. Besides im
posing strict regulations for the young
Etonian’s foddering, the faculty has
decided to assist the railroads of the
country by cutting down unnecessary
traveling.
So the Eton boys won’t have an va
cations this year.
GERMAN CONSIDERS
“AMERICA” A PRAYER
DENVER, Colo., April 24.—The Rev.
S. R. S. Gray, vicar of the Emmanuel
Episcopal church of this city, consid
ers “America” a prayer to the saf
Diety in behalf of the nation.
Although the majority of the mem
bers of the congregation are of German
descent, the national anthem is sung
regularly at the close of the service by
them.
And they didn’t need the war to in
spire the patrotism. The custom was
instituted three months ago, when war
was a remote prospect.
FOOD PRICES ARE ALL RIGHT
IN TOWNS IN EASTERN SIBERIA
PEROGRAD, April 24—While prices
of foodstuffs have soared in Petrograd
and Moscow to undreamed-of heights,
figures obtained from towns in Eastern
Siberia, where immense quantities of
foodstuffs have been lying unused for
months, show that price® in these out-1
of-the-way centers were never so low.
In some Siberian market towns the !
best meat can be obtained for about
three cent 3 a pound. Butter is 20 j
cents a pound, eggs are nine cents a
dozen, and wheat fetches about one
cent a pound.
PASSENGER TRAFFIC REDUCED
ONE-THIRD IN DENMARK
COPPENHAGEN, April 24.—Pas
senger traffic on the state railways of
Denmark has been reduced one-third,'
in order to economize coal. With the:
same object, the government plans to
.prohibit the export of cement because j
of the large amount of coal used in '
production. Heavy restrictions are al
so to be placed on the output of the
paper mills, and the size of newspapers
is to be still further reduced.
GREAT BRITAIN HAS MOST

WHY MISREPRESENT?
(From the Dalton Citizen.)
Tile attention of the Atlanta
Constitution, the ancient and hon
orable Augusta Chronicle, The
Herald-Journal, The Dalton Citi
zen and a few other Georgia pa
pers is respectfully eoalled to the
fact that there were only seven
lynchings in Georgia last year and
that The Chicago Tribune and the
Tuskegee Institute figures were
incorrect. —Madison Madisonian.
We also wish to inform the es
teemed Madisonian that five of the
seven lynched were proved inno
cent and that seven lynchings a
year are seven too many.—The
Dalton Citizen.
We never could see what good
was to be gained by misrepresent
ing the situation. As a matter of
fact, there were fourteen lynchings
in Georgia last year. Just because
the fourteen victims were lynched
on seven occasions does not make
1 the number of crimes any less.
: Georgians had just as well face the
situation squarely and truthfully.
They can gain nothing by evasion
or an attempt to make the stain
1 less by a play upon words.—Tifton
Gazette.
The Gazette is right. The Citizen
has no desire to misrepresent by a play
upon words. We knew there were four
teen lynchings during the year 1916,
I and have before this printed the names
of the victims. We were simply trying
to show The Madisonian the absurdity
’of its position, granting, for the sake
of argument, its statement that only
seven were lynched, five of whom were
, innocent.
The Madisonian now wants to know
the names of the five victims. If its
1 editor will take the trouble to examine
tlie court records of Worth county he
, will be able to find the names he de
sires. It was in January, 1916. if we
are not mistaken (we are writing from
memory), that five negroes were lynch
ed for murdering a sheriff. In Febru
ary, 1917, it was proved in court that
the five negroes were innocent. Jim
Keith, who narrowly escaped the fury
of the mob that lynched the five, was
given a new trial as a result of newly
' discovered evidence. He was cleared
j by a white jury, the evidence showing
.Keith and the five dead negroes inno
| cent, the same evidence also showing
that Mozelle Lake, who escaped, was
the murderer of the sheriff.
The action of any mob is indefens
ible. and when we see a man trying to
condone its crimes we can’t help but
think there is something wrong some
where. We have no patience with
such stuff and such men. |

the'SHOE MERCHANTS OF AMERICUS, GA., have found it necessary to enter into an
agreement whereby they may reduce the unusual large quantity of_shoes that are being out

and in many instances is the cause of the merchant missing sales of shoes that are out on
approval.
2: By having shoes properly fitted at the store where you have the entire stock to
seled from, records show that customers always get better service and more satisfactory
wearjrom their shoes.
3: On account of the high cod of shoes it is the duty of each one concerned to help
reduce jhe expense of handling them in every way possible.
