* THE U.S. FIGHTING MAN. ♦
Let the Tommies call him “Sammy,”
let the Poilus call him “Teddy,”
Let the Germans call him anything
they like.
What's the difference what they call
him He is on the job and
ready
For a dress parade, a battle, or a
hike.
He is not the lad to worry over style
r of nomenclature;
He is ovep there to mingle in the
game,
And whatever they may call him they
can’t change his Yankee nature,
And he’ll fight like ole B’rer Wildcat
just the same.
Bill, or Jake, or Dick, his name was
when his Uncle Sam assigned
him
To the job that he has sailed away
to do.
He was something softer sounding to
the girl he left behind him;
He was just a soldier man to me and
you.
He will be a U. S. private as behind
the band he marches
With a hundred thousand other fight
ing men.
But just wait till he is welcomed un
derneath the wreath-hung
arches,
He’ll just be a plain, old-fashioned
hero then!
He’ll not care much what they call him
when he’s out behind his rifle
Sending shots exactly where they
ought to go,
For he’ll be almighty busy, and he’ll
have no time to trifle
With such titles as are given here
below.
Call him Teddy, call him Tommy,
while he’s out there fighting for
) you
Where the smoke obscures the kindly
Heaven’s dome—■
Fighting for the stainless banner that
today is floating o’er you.
He’ll have made a bigger name when
he comes home.
—Atlanta Georgian.

PORTRAIT OF GEN. LEE
GIVEN SAVANNAH CHAPTER.
The Savannah Chapter of the Unit
ed Daughters of the Confederacy feels
that it has been most highly honored
in having had presented to it a large
and magnificent portrait of the South’s
beloved chieftain and one of the world’s
greatest heroes and best men. General
Robert Edward Lee. The gift was
from his daughter, Miss Mary Lee, and
was presented by Mrs. W. H. Eliot in
a most impressive manner, and with
appropriate words.
The portrait was painted by a noted
artist, Miss Lee herself superintending
certain features to make it a truer
likeness of her father than is usually
seen. The chapter prizes the portrait
most highly, also the generosity of
Miss Lee in making the gift and the
honor conferred upon the Savannah
chapter as its recipient.—Savannah
News.
SAVE THE WASTE AND
V,IN THE WAR.
The managers of the most fashiona
ble hotels on the Atlantic coast are
printing the following “request” on
their menu cards: "In conformity,
with the national food-conservation,
policy, we request our guests not to
give 'waste orders’; that is, orders for
more food than they really desire. If I
no food goes back to the kitchen, there
i- no waste.”
It is the order of the day and it is (
not going to be considered a bit smart
to give extravagant luncheons and •
dinners this season; it is only going
to be awfully bad form. There are.
well-bred people who have always |
been accustomed to good living and,
who would not hesitate to pay an ex
tra hundred or two on a valuable rug.
for a fine painting 1 , or for rare books,'
yet would send a wasteful cook about:
her business on short notice, for the?
consider wastefulness a crime, not to ■
be passed over lightly because they j
happen to possess large means. It is,
with that class of people that dignified
simplicity obtains, and it is for .them
selves rather than for good eating, that:
they’ are sought.
Now is the time to put the -ospel of,
the clean plate into active service.
Go about this business of saving the
waste in a genial way. Don’t make a
penance out of it. Use your brains and
you will have greater variety of food
on your table —it takes brains to
achieve variety —and you will be bet
ter off in health and pocketbook. And
best of all, you will be doing your part
in helping the world win democracy’
and peace.—Atlanta Journal.

AN ECONOMICAL WAY
TO CAN TOMATOES.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ July 26
A good economical way to can toma
toes, says the United States department
of agriculture, is to pack firm, whole
fruits in a jar and fill in the spaces
with a concentrated tomato sauce.
Each quart jar will then provide whole
tomatoes for salads or baking and a
tomato puree for soups or sauces. The
department’s recipe is as follows:
Select firm| uniformly red, ripe j
tomatoes of medium size. Put into!
traps and lower into boiling water for j
1 minute. Remove, plunge into cold
water, drain, and cut out the core with}
a slender-pointed knife without cutting .
into the seed cells. Peel promptly and
I
pack into jars. To each pint add one
level teaspoonful of mixture of one-\
third salt and two-thirds sugar. Fill (
the jars with a thick tomato sauce
made by cooking the small or broken'
tomatoes until tender. Remove the
seeds and skins by straining the pulp :
—and concentrate it by boiling to
about the consistency of ketchup. Ad.
just the rubber and cap—place the
packed jars in a false bottom in i
vessel of water which almost reaches!
their tops and keep at boiling tem- (
perature for 25 minutes. Remove the
jars from the water bath and tighten 1
the covers immediately.

ENLISTED MEN OF ARMY
ARE NOT ALL SPENDTHRIFTS
-- I’
ATLANTA,. Ga., July 26.—The idea j
held by many people that the private I
soldier in the army, taking him on the i
average, is a poor spendthrift who getsl
rid of his money on pay-day and then ■
stays broke until the ghost walks again I'
would seem to be disproved by some]
investigation of the financial status of I
a number of men in various branches: (
of the service in Atlanta who have, 1
worn the uniform long enough to bej c
considered soldiers and not raw re- 1
cruits.
The investigation discloses the inter- ;
esting fact that most of the men who 1
have gone into the army are careful
with their money, spending a part of it '
on pleasures but saving another part I
for the savings account. Quite an ap- _
preciable number of the army, taken as
a whole, have savings accounts of
SI,OOO or more.

Huntington
HUNTINGTON, Ga., July 26.—1 f :
there is any interest connected with,
farm operations demanding close and:
constant attention it is that of the boll |
weevil, and right now. The cotton ■
crop is virtually finished and daily 1
searches and examination should be
made in order to check the first ap
pearance of this dangerous and de
structive pest. W. J. Boyett, county
demonstrator, went over a considerable
area of cotton lands last week, taking ’
in G. W. Nunn's, Lee Johnson’s and ■
AValters Heys, and with as I’ght infes-. j
tation on Walter Heys’ place, not a!
weevil or the sign of a weevil, was
found. With these favorable condi
tions at this advanced stage of the crop
and for the next month a sharp look
out for the bugs’ appearance, scarce
ly an excuse can be offered why a fine:
crop should not be gathered. Then!
think a moment, neighbor; your first,
bale is almost sure to pass into your
jeans about $130.00. By golly that s
enough to make you get busy, step high
and feel good. Don’t get scared Os,
the boll weevil; you can whip the lit .
tie rascal; so stop your complaints.'
wear a real bright smile, and the next
day all forebodings of evil will be
gone. Can you do that?

strong hold on Huntington. Lee John-

f. o. b. Huntington. Quite a large
area has been planted in groundpeas,
velvet beans and peas to make up for
any loss caused by the weevil.
Just in this connection Nve wish to
| call attention to the fact that we have
taken in nearly every section of Sum
mer county during the last month, and
portions of Schley, Webster, Stewart,
1 Marion and Muscogee counties, and in
all our rounds we saw nothing to
equal the crops within a radius of
three miles frem Huntington.
It was our pleasure to hear a very
able sermon last Sunday by Rev. R. L.
, Bivins at Pleasant Grove chruch. This
' was the opening service of a protracted
meeting, which was to run through the
jertire week. Dr. H. C. Buckholtz has
been in charge since Monday night
land his two sermJns each day have
created widespread interest in relig
i ious circles. The concensus of opinion
is that these services will leave a last
ing impression for good in this com
munity. We express the universal sen
time t of our people when we say that
all regret that Rev. R. Bivins has
decided to go to other fields of use

RELATIONS OF CAPITAL
ANO LABOR AFTER TO
LONDON, July 26.—The vital ques
tion of labor after the W’ar and the
relationship between master and men
L? receiving particular attention in of
ficial as well as trade circles. A be
lated report issued by a sub-committee
of the reconstruction committee for
the permanent improvement of rela
tions between employers and workmen
1 as just been issued and sent out to
the leading employers' associations and
trades unions.
In a covering letter, Sir D. Shackel
ton says that the war cabinet is deeply
concerned that timely measures should
be taken before the end of the war for
tb.e future of industry.
The report recommends the estab
lishment of an organization for each
industry representative of employers
and empolyees to consider matters af
fecting the trade frjpm the point of
view of all those engaged in it.
One of the chief factors of the de 7
mobilization problem consists of the
guarantees given by the government
with parliamentary sanction, to re
store trade union rules and customs
suspended during the war. The re
port considers that the definite co-op
eration and acquiescence by both em
ployers and employed must be a condi
tion of any setting aside of these
guarantees and undertakings and that
if new’ arrangements, satisfactory to
al! parties, but not in strict accord
ance with the guarantees, are to be
reached, they must be the joint work
o' employers and employed.
National industrial councils are ad
vocated in order to secure co-operation
b? granting to w’orking men and wo
men a greater share in the considera
tion of matters affecting their industry.
The following questions are mention
ed as being specia.ly suitable for con
sideration :
Better utilization of practical know
ledge and experience.
Means to secure to workers a greater
share in and responsibility for deter
mination and observance of conditions
of work.
Settlement of general principles of
employment including methods of fix
ing. paying and re-adjusting wages. Es
tablishment of regular methods of ne
gotiation with a view to preventing dis
ferences between master and man.
Means of insuring to workers the
greatest possible security of earnings
and employment.
Technical education and training.
Industrial research. •
Provision for full consideration of
inventions and improvements designed
by workers and for the adequate safe
guarding of the rights of the design
ers.
Improvements of processes, machin
ery and organization and full consider
ation of w'orkers point of view.
Proposed legislation affecting the in ■
dustry.
No suggestions are offered in the
report on profit sharing, co-partnership
or particular systems of wages. “We
are convinced.” says the report, “that
a permanent improvement in the rela
tions between employers and 'employed
must be founded upon something other
than a cash basis."
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
All members of Americus Lodge No.
13, F. & A. M., are urged to attend
regular meeting on Friday evening,
July 27th at 8 o’clock.

Shrewd buyers recommend
Buckeye Hulls
Mr. George A. Wilson, President of the Wilson Banking Co.,
Greenwood, Miss., is recognized as one of the closest and most
careful buyers in his section. The very fact that he feeds Buckeye
Hulls is ample proof that they are the best value in roughage on
the market. Anybody who investigates and tests
YftAM MAJIK
RUCKEYF
V HULLS \
LINTLESS
as Mr. Wilson and thousands of other users have done will be sure
to feed them ever after. Study them thoroughly and you will find
that they are 100 percent roughage—no lint —that they mix well
with other food; that they agree with cattle. Then compare prices
and you will find that they cost much less per ton than old style
hulls. You can’t buy better or cheaper roughage than Buckeye Hulls.
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any titre
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style bulls.
Book of Mixed Feeds Free
Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South. Tells
how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fattening, for work. Describes
Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for using them properly. Send for your
copy to nearest mill.
