POULTER ENTERTAINMENT
WAS SPLENOIDAFFAIR
Clyde Poulter, “that little man’’ an
nounced to entertain the citizens of
Americus, at the High school auditor
ium, under the auspices of the Epworth
League Thursday night, came and for
ar proximately two hours delighted his
audience with his versatile manner,
playing between humor and pathos
and with such wonderful magic that
he captivated his hearers from the very
first, causing the house to ring
throughout the evening with laughter
and applause.
In manner the speaker was easy and
graceful, his selections showed much
thought and preparation, which made
him master of the situation.
Those who failed to hear this pop
lar and impressive entertainer, missed
one of the finest entertainments that
it has been their privilege in a long
time to enjoy. It was a first class high
grade entertainment, and every one
left feeling delighted over a most en
joyable evening.
GERMAN CHEMICALS W
WEBIIHECIE NIR
URICH, Switzerland, April 21Z.—
While high above the average in com
parison with other trades, Germany’s
chemical industries have suffered se
verely from the war, according to the
balance sheet of 162 chemical com
panies of the year 1915. Exports
have almost ceased, profits and divi
dends have decreased about 4 per cent,
and large numbers of men are report
ed out of work.
THE ALCAZAR
All the charms and graces of a beau
tiful woman handsomely gowned in
the lai est triumphs of the modiste’s art
are displayed by Julia Dean in “Matri
; loony,” the new Triangle drama com
ing to the Alcazar Theatre tomorrow.
When the distinguished star heard that
[she was cast for this lively_role, she
immediately ordered a dozen new crea-
I tions of rare style and beauty. Her |
part, in fact, is much similar in make
pip to her famous characterization in j
| "Bought and Paid For.”
RUSSIA PLACES BIG
WAR ORDER IN JAPAN '
TOKIO, April 21. —Russia has plac-1
ed in Japan another huge war order

ernment arsenals and the first deliv
eries will begin in 1917.

TOURING THE 11. 5. I.
ON SUFFRAGE MISSIONS
ATLANTA, Ga„ April 21.—Two wo
men touring the United States in a lit
tle two-passenger automobile, repair
ing punctures and mending engine
troubles on the road, stopping at im
portant towns to deliver speeches, go
ing ahead on regular schedule time,
regardless of weather conditions—
Such is the unique method of at
tracting oenverts to the cause in which
Mrs. Alice S. Burke and Miss Nell
Richardson, of New York, are engag
ing their services.
They spent yesterday in Atlanta, ad
dressing large crow’ds on the streets
and being royally entertained by lo
cal suffrage organizations, and from
here they left today for Montgomery,
New Orleans and thence through the
west. They left New York on April 6
and plan a swing around the United
States which will take them back to
New York by July 28th. They are now
half a day ahead of their schedule.
Corn Cobs To
Go Skying Too
ATLANTA, Ga„ April 21.—Corn cob
pipes are going up in price. According
to a local dealer in pipes and smokers’
supplies, the price of Missouri meer
schaum is soarink skyward along with
print paper, blue dye for overalls and
other necessities of life.
The Atlanta dealer says that the
long-suffering public will not have the
sclace of blaming this misfortune on
the war, although thousands of the
American cob pipes are now on the
firing line. Devotees of the cob pipe
claim that it is superior to all others in
the satisfaction afforded, but now they
will have to content themselves with
genuine French briar or meerschaum,
for the cobs have gone up 200 per cent,
and the end is not yet in sight.
The cob is now the aristocrat of
pipedom, and costs 200 per cent more
than formerly.
The dealer explained this condition
by saying that the entire supply of
cobs for pipes is produced in three
Missouri counties, and that for three
successive seasons the crop has failed.
