WIRE FENCING HERE
FOO FAIRGROUNDS
The steel fence and posts have ar
rived for the Third District Agricultu
ral District fair and will be imme
diately sent out to the Third District
Agricultural school and the erection
of the fence will commence this week.
Americus is going to do herself
proud on this fair and the Americus
pluck will assert itself in this proposi
tion as it has always done before.
The Chamber of Commerce realized
how necessary it was to make a good
showing of agriculture to firing about
a feeling of good cheer among our
farmers. Not alone Is this the whole
subject sought to be gained by this
fair, but it will attract many strangers
from the northwestern states to
southwest Georgia and they will buy
land here and settle among us.
The farmers of this county and ad
joining counties have begun already to
talk fair. They are planting with a
view to showing their products against
the world. They are buying fine attle
and hogs and they will have a fair as
good as the best.
If you will stop to think, 38 acres
is n little fair. It is larger by far
than the average district fair. Every
available space on the grounds will be
taken up with either live stock, swine
or agriculture exhibits. The rest of
the grounds will be used by the sev
eral big buildings to be erected ar
once.
There are not two happier men in
this part of Georgia than Secretary
Hyman and Demonstrator Oliver over
the prospets of the biggest and best
fair ever held in Georgia.
Letters are pouring in from all over
the country asking about this fair, and
the interest reaches from New York
City to New Orleans. The cattle ex
hibits will be worked up from the Chi
cago end, which is the cattle head
quarters of the world.
DEVELOPING WATEH
POWER NECESSARY
BALTIMORE), Mr., Feb. 15.—A mat
ter that is of the greatest importance
to the South as affecting prospective
deevlopment of water-power in this
section is contained in a Washington
dispatch in this week’s issue of the
Manufacturers Record. It refers to
Secretary of War Garrison’s statement
to the Senate Committee on Commerce,
in which the Secretary set forth what
would be the Government’s possible at
titude in relation to the development of
water-power and the movement to lib
eralize the laws so that those who de
velop power on navigable streams may
know what to expect from the Govern
ment.
If the Shields-Adam bill now pending
receive approval in the form in which
it came before the Commerce Commit
tee with a unanimous vote last year, it
will result in the early development of
the nitrate industry in the South, re
ducing the cost of fertilizer and giving
the Government a supply of nitrate ofr
the manufacture of explosives to be
used in case of war.
The Secretary of War, in the official
statement mentioned above, said, am
ong other things: ‘‘Cheap pow,er is
r.ecessary to meet our great industrial
demands in the production of nitrogen,
(Steel, zinc, aluminum and ordinary
commercial fertilizer. Modern science
has achieved uses for hydro-electric
energy in the fixation of nitrogen and
in metallurgical operations and pro
cesses which make It of the highest
consequence. Nitrogen is an essential
of commercial fertilizer, and also an
indispensable element of military ex
plosives. That it is that the develop
ment of these great powers can be
made to contribute to our agricultural
and general industrial development
and to our national defense.”
The Secretary of War made the first
statement that the Federal Government
is in a position now where it absolutely
prohibits, because it permits only
under impossible conditions. Investors
will not invest under present condi
tions, nor will they invest if the act
v hich is to be written upon the statute
books deliberately makes investment
unprofitable.
The Secretary’s suggestion in his
most interesting statement is, ‘‘When
Congress has laid down conditions
sufficiently general as to principles
and sufficiently detailed as to specifica
tions to govern power development,
the granting of the permit in each case
should be left to the Secretary of War
upon the recommendation of the Chief
of Engineers.’’

SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Os Mrs. Chappell, of Five Years’
Standing, Relieved by Cardui.
Mt. Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: “1 suffered for
five years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one couid tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo
man’s tonic, and 1 decided to try it. I
had not taken but about six bottles until
i was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines I had
hied, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and 1 tola them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it.”
Do you, lady reader, suffer front any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache,
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
the past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You
won’t regret it. All druggists.

German Long
Run Has Moral
Effect Sure
LONDON, Feb. 15.—Bombardment'
by German long range 15-inch guns
has a greater moral than material ef
fect on the towns bombarded, writes a
correspondent from France. This is
due to the gneat amount of waste space
jin towns, for a shell has just as much
chance of hitting a vancant lot as a
building. The Germans, themselves, in
the opinion of the writer, know how
little material damage their shells do.
for after shelling these towns, they
generally follow up with an air raid.
But they know its moral results.
In the extreme range firing, the Ger
mans fire only when the wind is fav
orable to them. The noise of the great
shell is distinctly trying on the nerves
of the people. As open towns lie a good
distance back of the French lines, the
Gerfans get their naval guns well for
ward, with the result that they are
usually sought out by the French
guns.
The main drawback of the se bom
bardments of open towns is, from the
German point of view, their expense.
Thees great shells run in price up to
several thousand dollars each.
One lesson of the war is that it costs
more to destroy a village than to build
it. At one point the Germans batterel
a viaduct to pieces with 17-inch and 9-
inch howitzers. This cost them nearly
sixty giant shells and countless 9-
irch shells, to say nothing of a rain
from field guns. The viaduct cost $70,-
000 dollars to build. French officers
(estimated the price of its destruction
kt over $400,000.
Preachers Help
Clergy to Join
The Forces
LONDON, Feb. 15.—Although the
Bishop of London has not seen his way
clear to set aside the rule of hia
church against combatant service for
the younger clergy, he has told a del
egation of militant curates who called
on him that he would do all he could
toward enabling them to become
chaplains and stretcher bearers.
Over a thousand curates, who in
lay life would be eligible for military
service, signed a petition io the bish
op, asking that they be allowed to
put on khaki and fight. They claimed
that the defense of a cause that they
devoutly believed to be righteous
against one they thought evil was tn
accohd with the teachings of Chris
tianity and the Anglican church.
All of the Anglican bishops, includ
ing the Archbishop of Canterbury,
have been opposed from the start to
he enlistment of the clergy in the
fighting ranks. But the feeling of the
tnass of the young clergymen is
strongly inclined toward military ser
vice. Many clergymen of the non
conformist esets, such as Presbyter
ians, Congregational<st and Metho
dists, have gone to the ranks and ac
cepted commissions.
MUNICIPAL OWNED
FOODSTUFFS PLANS
BERLIN, Feb. 15. —The big suburban
city of Lichtenberg, a few miles from
Berlin, whose population is almost ex
clusively drawn from the working
classes, has, during the past few
months, been perfecting a system of
i municipal ownership of foodstuffs
which is perhaps the most compre
hensive in Germany.
It has not only taken charge of and
control over certain kinds of foods, as
other municipalities have done, but it
has become salesman as well, has
opened municipal stores and markets
all over the city, has done much to
keep prices down within reach of its
inhabitants and yet has made enough
profit to enable it to keep its stocks
replenished.
Where it has been wound inadvisable
for the city to sell the food itself, it
Jias been distributed through merch
ants who have been pedmitted to
fcharge only stipulated prices and to
make a profit no larger than the city
itself would make.
The city now maintains for stores
tor the sale of meat, sausage, fats and
bacon, four egg stores, and two potato
stores. Four more of the latter are to
I
be added in a short time, as soon as
. the expected demand for potatoes
comes.
The city has been able to make ad
cantageous contracts with packers for
both meat and fats, and of late is sell
ing daily to about 20,000 families.
Whenever a shortage has been felt,
such as was the case with fat recently,
Lichtenberg has procured substitutes
of one kind or another.
Os late the city has added to its
stock by putting in rice, beans, peas,
aid oat flakes by the hundredweight
a,id is selling them at a small margin
of profit at its meat stores. Until after
Christmas the price of municipal eggs'
wag sou regents apiece—as compared
with eight to nine cents in other parts
of Greater Berlin—but not it has ad
vanced to four and a half cents.
The city has just purchased an en
ormous quantity of .potatoes, half of
which it has stored away, and the
other half of which has been distribut
ed among regular provision dealers to
be sold at specified prices. The city
has also sold huge amounts of fruit.
In addition to selling outright the
things enumerated, Lichtenberg has
supplied local merchants with great
quantities of noodles, condensed milk,
sardines, vegetables and macaroni
which it, as a wholesale buyer,has
been able to procure advantageously.
Rats Breed In
Budapest Zoo
For Foodstuff
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Feb. 15.
Rats are being bred for the Budapest
Zoo in order to save the scant ration
of horseflesh for the lions and tigers,
whose constant roaring shows the ex
tent' they suffer from the general
shortage of food. Eagles, voltures
and the wily birds are fed exclusively
on rats. At times when horsemeat
has been unobtainable, goats and the
sacrificed to save the lives of the
beasts that once ruled the jungle.
But the herxivorous animals have
also gone through hard times, as wild
chesnuts have been substituted for
expensive hay. They have small

seals had to be killed, as no fish could
be obtained for them. The seal meat
went to feed the wild beasts. Two
polar bears were shot—one because
he refused to eat war food and the
other because he grew so weak on

to finish him off. The bears added to
the zoo’s revenue in another way, as

German Spring
Fair Will Open
On March 6
Feb. 15.—The opening of
the annual spring business fair or
“Messe,” in peace times one of the
biggest institutions of its kind in
Europe, has been set for Monday
Starch 6, this year. A year ago the
i number of exhibitors fell from 4,000
to 2,500 because of the war. This
year’s prospect is that the number
will be more nearly normal than in
1915.
Already there are assured a large
number of exhibitors of glass and
metal ware, wood, paper, leather, rub
ber, basketware and toys. The
peacetime exhlbittors from Russia,
France and England, as well as the
buyers from those countries, will
again be missing, of course, bnt it is
anticipated that they will in part at
least be replaced by Germans.
The authorities are aranging to
facilitate as far as possible the free
movements of all who wish to go to
the fair, so that exhibitors, buyers
and others shall have a minimum of
I'ifficulty about passes, which now
: re necessary for everyone who trav
els in Germany.
