'AMERICUS PEOPLE TO HELP '
ARMENIAN SUFFERERS!
Suffering of the Armenians are to
be alleviated by the people of Ameri
cus. Contribution boxes for this pur
pose have been placed throughout the
city, mainly in the drug stores. In
these boxes you are asked to place
your contributions, which will go to
lighten the hardships and sufferings
of these unfortunate and war-cursed
people.
Through the military operations in
Armenia the people have been made to
suffer untold misery and want.
The people of the United States
never fail to feel for those who are
made to suffer and especially when
they are the result of outrages perpe
trated upon an inoffensive people, as
is the case with Armenia.
Therefore, whatever amount the
people of Americus give to aid these
i unfortunate people will be in a noble
cause, and it is hoped everyone will
■ be as liberal as possible.
I Funds received in this way will be
I handled by responsible parties and
forwarded to the Armenian Relief
headquarters in New York, and thence
itiansmitted to the needy sufferers in
Armenia.
The Times-Recorder commends the
good people of Americus in this labor
of love for humanity and trusts that
the responise to this appeal at their
hands will be most liberal.

The Times-Recorder is in receipt of

The improvements in

the policy always maintained by the

QUIET FOR POLICE
DURING TO DAYS
Various cities in the state have been
making observations on the first month
under the new prohibition law which
became effective May Ist. In the re
corder’s court Americus has had one
drunk and one alleged “blind tiger’’
brought to its confines.
The case of Gene Barlow, a negro,
the first offender under the new law,
will be heard before Recorder T. O.
Marshall Monday morning, it having
been postponed from last Monday.
Americus has witnessed remarkable
scenes in her police court for the scar
city of cases since May Ist. The police
force vouch that their quietest month
pased through with the hastening of
May to make ready ofr June, and the
present month has begun with good
signs of quietude.
The police are said to be on the alert
for the illegal handling of liquor, but
their journeyings have only netted one
haul thus far.

How the'-Texas Tube test
happened I
IT nettled Bill Parr considerably!
So many Motorists had carelessly stated
that “all Tire Tubes are just Rubber.”
He determined to show some folks the difference,
in a way they would never forget.
There were four Cars at the door, and their
Owners or Drivers at his elbow.
To these he said, —
“Boys,—how strong do you think this Goodrich
Brown Tube actually is?
“Do you believe it is strong enough to tow Mr.
Oden’s five passenger Car, with four people in it for
2C blocks?
“You don't, eh!
“Well now here’s a bit of a Bet I want to make
with any, or all, of you.
“I will bet you a Dinner that this little old regu
lar Goodrich Tube (34x4) will not only tow Mr.
Oden’s Car, but will tow all three of your Cars, — fully
passengered,—through the streets, for the full 21 blocks
(more than a mile and a half) —starting and stopping
as many times as the crowd makes it necessary.
“I will, —if you Gentlemen are agreeable,—line
up all four of your Cars, right here and now, take three
regular Goodrich Tubes hap-hazard out of their boxes,
—tie one tube between each two Cars, (which means
hauling three Cars on the first Tube) and tote You
all that way to “The Comers.”
“Are you willing to bet a Dinner that any one
of the three Tubes will ‘go broke’ on the way, or show
a flaw which would leak Air, or prevent its being.used
for its original Tire purpose afterwards?
“You are, eh?
“Well, —the Bet’s on!
“Come along, and you be the Judges.”
' Dinner was a very Cheerful Affair.
As Oden said afterwards (when put
ting up his share of the Bet) “you could
have bet me a Million onj that, Parr, and I’d have
taken you up,—even if I had to borrow the Million.
“I don’t see how the blamed Tubes ever did hold
out, —especially going up Saco St under such a strain.
“With eight people in the last three Cars, —and
a total load of over 8,800 pounds I sure thought to hear
something snap before Second Block.
“Whaddye put into that brown Goodrich Rubber
anyhow, to make it hang together like that?”
Fritz said that what puzzled him most was the
brown Rubber Tubes “not being all stretched out of
