So many ships put out to sea,
So many silver sails
Go dipping through the lilac dawn
To where the sky line fails;
So many ships—but ah just one
Sails with my heart to meet the sun.
So many roses blowing wide
'Neath kiss of fragrant wind,
Sc many petals ipearled with dew
The eager seekers find;
But ah one rose—the reddest one
Lifts up my heart to meet the sun.
For pust one ship bears o’er the tide
Love’s dearest and its best,
And just one rose o fall the world
She wears upon her breast;
Ah ship and rose and tides that run
My heart goes with you 'neath the
sun!

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. \
WHITE CREST FLOUR EX-
HIBITED HOOKS PHARMACY
An exhibition of “White Crest” flour
and a demonstration of its many and
\aried uses in the making of good
things to eat is going on today ar.
Hooks’ Pharmacy.
The exhibition is in charge of Mrs.
D. Fisher and Mrs. Prickett, of Leav
enworth, Kas. The purpose of this ex
hibition and demonstration is to ex
plain, or rather explode the idea that
some ladies have that white flour is
void of some element of nutrition, and
to show to the contrary, by actual
demonstration, that white flour and
more particularly “White Crest,” is the
peer of all other kinds. Mrs. Fisher is
anxious to explain to the ladies of
Americus why this is so, and to this
end she invites them to come out, see,
bear and taste the variety of dainty
eatables prepared from “White Chest”
flour.
It was originally intended to hold
this exhibition for only two days, to
day and tomorrow; by special request,
however, it has been decided to remain
for an entire week. Therefore, if you
have not already seen the exhibition
you should avail yourself of the op
portunity while it is yours. Lovely
decorated tables, and flowers
abound and a hearty welcome awaits
the ladies of Americus to come and
enjoy, as well as receive benefits and
instruction from the occasion. J. G.
Fitchugh, general sales manager for
the mill manufacturing ‘‘White Crest”
four, is in the city, and will be pres
ent for a short time at these exhibi
tions.
Remember, the ladies of Americus
are cordially invited to see this exhi
bition.

ternoon that he had been informed, un ■
officially, of an alleged statement is
sued by Gen. Alvarez Obregon, assum
ing full responsibility for the orders
to the Mexican detachment which at
tacked Gen. Pershing's troops. Obre
gon was one of the participants in the
recent border conference with Gen.
Scott and Funston, and is secretary of
war for the de facto government in
Mexico. His relations with Carranza,
the first chief, have recently been re
ported as somewhat strained, and sev
eral days ago it was stated in press de
spatches from northern Mexico that he
was at the head of a plot to overthrow
Carranza’s government altogether, and
upon the point of proclaiming himself
supreme dictator in Mexico.
Von Pa pen Bobs Up in Hofland.
AMSTERDAM, June 22.—Capt. Franz
von Papen, recalled at the request of
the United States government as mili
tary attache of the German embassy at
Washington, and who has come-to Hol
land on a secret mission, has a purposo
which is three-fold, according to the
Amsterdam Telegraff. This- newspa
per does not mention Capt. von Papen
by name, but alludes to him as a “flrat
class specialist who only recently ar
rived here after covering himself witn
world-wide fame in the exercise of
functions in another neutral country.”
The Telegraaf says that the “special
ist" has come here, first, to obtain in
formation of military and political na
ture; second, to watch foreigners re
siding in Holland or visiting in this
country; and, third, to endeavor to in
fluence public opinion in favor of Ger -
many.
The German “secret information ser
vice” in Holland is being reorganized,
the Telegraaf asserts, the efforts of the
‘ specialist” along this line being the
centralizing of diverse and. scattered
elements of the Teutonic espionage
service in this country. He has estab
lished the Central Protective service
at The Hague and progress has been
made with the organization of the ser
vice at Rotterdam, according to the
newspaper, which declares that similar
efforts at Amsterdam have been a little
backward.
In the Rotterdam branch of the ser
vice, the Telegraaf says, 142 men an.l
62 women have been enrolled, recruited
principally among waiters, porters and
other hotel and cafe*employes.
EARLY PEACHES GOING TO
WEST INSTEAD OF NORTH
ATLANTA, Ga., June 22.—1 t is a pe
culiarly interesting fact that accord
ing to the records of the Georgia Fruit
exchange an extraordinarily large pro
portion of Georgia's early peach crop
is going to the western markets, in
stead. of to New York and other east
ern points. This is indicative of an
increased demand in the western ter
ritory, which may have important bear
ing on the market.
Another very gratifying feature of
the peach situation to Georgia growers
this year is the fact that practically all
cf the fruit to date has been sold on
an f. o. b basis, which means that cash
money is turned over to the grower be
fore the car leaves the state. These
cash sales have been extraordinarily
laige this year, more so than usual
with the early fruit.
There had been shipped from Geor
gia up to Saturday, June 17, a total of
8S cars, while the estimate of the
week through Saturday, June 24, Is
125 cars. The Fruit exchange sees-nc
reason to make any change In its orig
inal estimate of 3,300 to 3,500 cars as
the total of the Georgia crop.

Who Is Black
Beauty? Out
In The Waters
ATLANTA, Ga., June 22.—Who is the
beautiful woman in the black tights
and the black mask who swims around
the lake in Piedmont park every day
at sundown?
The bathers in Piedmont lake are
simply crazy to find out the mysterious
strangers’ identity, and their curiosity
has spread all over the city. She
comes out to the lake in her automo
bile and gets away without spectators
finding out anything about her.
All the way around the lake she
swims—every afternoon. It is a swim
of two miles or more, one to test the
strength of a powerful athlete, but the
mysterious water nymph makes the
distance without a single pause for
rest, and when she comes down the
home stretch she is going faster than
she went at the start.
Atlantians have been unable to
learn the identity of the “Masked Mer
maid.”

PRINKING IN HOMES IS
GROWING FAST IN LONDON
LONDON, June 22.—Drinking in the
homes is growing, and there is ai
increase of excess among those women
who drank before the war, according
to a report by a committee of promin
ent women which has investigated the
subject.
Remedial suggestions offered includ
ed more drastic measures as to the
distribution and canvassing for the
sale of liquor, the withdrawal of the
proposal that the wives of sailors and
soldiers should not be arrested for
drunkenness except after a first or sec
ond offense; the extension of a plan
of trusteeship for the payment of sep
aration allowances granted to wives
whose husbands are fighting; and the
appointment of special plain-clothes
inspectors for saloons and of women
police at police courts.
