BOLSHEV BEATEN BY
SEMENOFF IN SIBERIA
PEKIN, August 28.—General Sem
enoff, of the anti-Bolshevik leader,
has crossed th e Siberian frontier and
retaken Matsievski station, west of
Manchuli, capturing prisoners. The
Japanese troops are engaged with the
Bolshevik near Dauria.
On the Ussiri front north of Vlad
ivostok the Bolshevik have retired six
miles before the general advance by
all allied forces.
American and Japanese troops, the
advices add, are entraining for the
Ussuri front.
News from the front, it is added, is
meagre owing to the fact that the
Japanese have taken over the giving
out of information from the Czechs.
Th e Japanese are said to be extremely
reticent.
It is t eported that the allies have
taken over the operation of the rail
ways. It is probable the raifways
will be operated by the American en
gineers under John F. Stevens.

ORDERS ALREADY FILED FOR
EXTRA COPIES TO BE MAILED
OUT.
The “Who’s Who’’ edition of The
Times-Recorder has been received by
people here even more enthusiastical
ly than the management had reason to
expect.
The idea of compiling an accurate
and up-to-date history of Sumter
county, and the people who have made
it the best county in all Southwest j
Georgia struck a popular chord.;
Nothing like the issue to be gotten
out about September 25th has ever
been attempted here. It will reflect
conditions as they are, and people will
be told! “Who’s Who” in this prosper- 1
ons community.
Every man who has been visited
with on e exception has signed up
for space, and the one referred to
will submit his copy before the end
of the week. The business men of
Americus are a unit in favoring the
idea of a big ‘‘Who’s Who" edition,
and they are all coming in as fast
as seen. Mrs. Gertrude Ray Butts,
who is in charge of the work of can
vassing, states she is received every
where with a warm welcome, and
that a vast majority of thos e she has
interviewed have commended the
work as one peculiarly appropriate to
the times
The “Woman’s Page” which will be
on e of the big features of th e edition
will be read by thousands, and in its
columns there will be a wealth of in
formation of real and sentimental
value to Americus people. There will
b e printed there much that will be a
revelation to others here. 'What wo
men have done for Americus and
Sumter county, and the women who
have done all this is an interesting

Frocks for “The Awkward Age”
KHTiT-JHmB IwmFi Hit j
Hili!
ji 11’
From about her seventh year until
she is well along in the “flapper” stage
the growing girl usually requires some
special attention to clothe her becom
ingly. This is “the awkward age”
with some children, who are either too
angular or too chubby, while others
get through it without difficult lines
that must be softened. But for all
of them the straight line dress seems
to be the safe choice —the thin little
girl and the fat little girl, with per
haps a little variation in waist line,
wear it with equal success.
New frocks for school, and other
everyday wear this fall, have been pre
sented, and two of them, shown above,
demonstrate how well the specialists
who design children’s clothes have
managed the straight-line Idea. These
two refined and sensible dresses are
pretty and no little girl will look awk
ward iu them. They will interest
the mother who must busy herself with
her daughter’s school frocks. Both
these models are adapted to cotton or
to wool materials, and both suggest
ways for remodeling and “making
over” woolen clothes that it is the
part of patriotism to pass along from
grown-ups to the small fry during war
times —or any other times, for that
matter.
Any substantial cotton or reliable
topic. A good writer might write an
interesting volume on the subject. The
Times-Recorder must give largely of
its space to other subjects, but the
ladies will not be overlooked. We
want to impress upon our readers
this featur e of the “Who’s Who” edi
tion. Women who helped lay. the
foundation of many a business man's
prosperity will be pictured there, and
their work for Sumter county will be
told of in detail.

wool fabric may be made up like
the frock pictured of plain goods. The
bodice has the effect of a short jacket
which buttons under a fly at the front,
and the plain skirt —with flat saddle
bag pockets applied—ls gathered on
to It. The sleeves are three-quarters
length and the dress Is worn over a
lawn or batiste blouse with a small
turnover collar. The decoration is the
simplest sort of needlework trimming
—merely silk floss in outline stitch
forming squares that border all edges
in the bodice and on the pockets.
Plaid and plain gingham or plaid
and plain serge will serve equally well
for the other dresses. In this model the
skirt is plaited and set on to a plain
body. There are two narrow belts of
the plaid goods, the lower one ter
minating under a narrow box plait In
the front of the skirt and the upper
one fastening with a plain button.
The white pique collar and cuffs are
separate. Like the under blouse In
the other dress, they are the means
of freshening up the frock and teach
ing the little ones the invaluable les
son of daintiness In appearance.

“Neutrone Prescription 99”
Since the introduction of ‘‘Neutrone
Prescription 99” Rheumatic sufferers
no longer fear the changeable winter
weather. This new combination has
many heretofore incurables on its re
lieved list.
“Neutrone Prescription 99” is dif
ferent from others in that it treats
rheumatism as a disease of the blood
and by its general action eliminating
rheumatic conditions. Its effect is
immediate as well as lasting without
any depressing after effects.
The whole system is benefltted —
lame, stiff and inflamed joints disap
pear where other remedies have fail
ed.
It helps nature restore the blood to
its natural, healthy condition in its
positive action, re-supplying what Na
ture fails to supply fast enough. Mail
