500,000 ITALIAN SOLDIERS
ARE RELATED TO U. S.
ROME, June 23.—The number of
present Italian soldiers who have
either been to the United States or else
have relatives there is estimated as
high as 500,000, a proportion that is
said to be the larger in this respect
than that of any other army in Europe.
Everywhere on the Italian front the
American visitor finds men who have
been to the United States, and they
usually seem, proud of the fact. On a
recent visit to the war zone, a corre
spondent was trying to get a train for
a certain place and in broken Italian
he asked one of the soldier-police for
some necessary information. “I don’t
know anything about this town, I’m
from New York,” replied the carabin
iere.

Mexican May Attack Columbus.
COLUMBUS, N. M., June 23. —Amer-

port a small detail of Carranza troops
encomped in Mexico about 20 miles
south of Columbus. Efforts to deter
mine whether these troops are an ad
vance guard of the forces which evac
uated Juarez yeaterday proved futile.
Immense military stores have been
concentrated here and an attack by
Mexicans is ‘’eared.
Ao Official Report Yet.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 23.
A preliminary report from the hearing
or. the Carrizal fight was announced
here today. The basis for all stories
yet told in the United States is found
in the tales of stragglers reaching ex
peditionary headquarters at Namiquipa
and one Mexican report, which was
taken to President Wilson by Secre
tary Baker today. The war secretary
said at noon that General Pershing in
transmitting the report, said it was
not to be considered as official, until
full details are available.
The report given the president, it is
understood to be substantially the
same as last night’s press dispatches.
At the white house and war depart
ments it was indicated early this af
ternoon that the Wilson administra
tion will make no change in its policy
toward Mexico for the present.

BOLL WEEVIL MOL
SERIOUSJSEftR DOTHAN
W. S. Roach who has recently re
turned to Americus from a trip over
in Alabama, near Dothan, states that
rhe people over in that section are
getting rid of the boll weevil by pick
ing them off the cotton stalk and put
ting them in bottles, afterwards de
stroying the insects.
He says that prominent, business
people over there are helping the far
mers out by getting together crowds
and going out to the farms and pick
ing the boll weevils for them. The
pickers are paid 20 cents per hundred
for the w’eevils.
Mr. Roach estimates that 500 boll
weevils can destroy five bales of cot
ton, and that 500 can be picked and
gotten rid of at 20 cents per hundred,
which would be a cost of $lO. He says
that the farmers who are picking them
get quite a decrease in every picking,
and that those who were very blue
several weeks ago, are now in hopes
of making a good crop of cotton, since
they have been going after the weevil
by picking him off the stalk.
DESERTER TELLS THAT
GERMAN FOOD IS CUT
PARIS, June 23.—Information al
leged to have been obtained from a
deserter from the 28th German infan
try is to the effect that the German
soldier’s fresh meat ration has been
cut down from 375 grams daily to
200 grams, which is just half of the ra
tion of fresh meat received by the
French soldiers. The German canned
meat ration is also alleged to have
been cut down to 1150 grams, as com
pared with the 250 grams of canned
meat in the French ration.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
SUMMER SCHOOL AT
STATE UNIVERSITY
A Great Factor In Elementary School
Improvemment in Georgia.
The Summer School for Teachers
has come to be one of the greatest
of institutions in nearly every state
of the United States. With educa
tion changing, new subjects coming
in, old methods being recast, even
the best prepared teachers feel the
need every two or three years of the
broadening contacts and new points
of view obtained in our best summer
schools. In Georgia many teachers
have second and third grade license,
evidencing that the original prepara
tion has not been the best. The
University Summer School plans for
all such teachers or prospective
teachers, to extend and broaden the
scholarship of some, to bring others
up to standard, and to present to all
the best there is in modern methods
in education.
A Greater School.
This School for the 1916 session
will probably be the best of its kind
in the United States. Not five per
cent of Georgia teachers who will go
to a summer school this year need
to go to Harvard, Columbia, Chicago,
or any school outside of Georgia for
better offerings than will be found
in the Georgia Summer School. Here
will combine three institutions, the
State University, the State College of
Agriculture, and the State Normal
School in one Summer School. The
talent of these faculities will be at
the service of the teachers. Other
teachers in Georgia have been called
in, and still others from many parts
of the United States.
Teaching Talent.
In primary reading and spelling,
Mrs. Alexander of the State Normal
School will be the principal teacher.
For general primary methods and
with special applications in arithme
tic, language and history, Miss Esta
line Wilson comes from the State
Normal School at Warrensburg, Mo.
Miss Wilson received the B. S. in
Education degree from the Univer
sity of Missouri, and the A. M. de
gree from Columbia University with
special Diploma from Teachers’ Col
lege. She is a gifted teacher and
supervisor.
Miss Wilson will also give a course
in Principles of Teaching applied to
the common branches in grades sth,
6th and 7th.
For Penmanship, Miss Mary E.
Banks comes from the A. N. Palmer
Co., N. Y. City, the home of the cele
brated Palmer system.
For Geography, the instructor will
be Dr. F. A. Millidge of the State
Normal College, Farmville, Va. Dr.
Millidge has his Ph. D. degree from
the University of Chicago, and he has
a reputation unsurpassed as a teach
er of Geography. He will give a
course in Primary Geography, and
another course for Higher Geography.
For Nature Study, Dr. Clifton F.
Hodge comes from far away Univer
sity of Oregon. He is the author of
Nature Study and Life, the first im
portant book on Nature Study pub
lished, and the one still most widely
used.
These are mentioned to Indicate
the quality of instruction given in
the Georgia Summer School for 1916.
Not a phase of modern school work
for primary and general elementary
subjects wdll be omitted, but every
thing covered in a thoro manner by
teachers of great reputation, many of
them authors of note.
Reviews and Other Courses.
There will be common school re
views covering all the branches.
Courses in school management, or
ganization of play as well as work,
boys’ and girls’ clubs, Home econom
ics for rural schools, drawing and
blackboard sketching are among the
many helpful courses to improve the
teachers. Special courses will apply
to the problems of rural life and edu
cation, ceosidering the one-teacher
school and the consolidated school.
Other special courses will be devoted
similarly to teachers and problems of
town and city schools.
School Improvement.
How to improve our teachers and
our schools is a great problem in
Georgia and the -South. The Univer
sity Summer School is one of the
greatest agencies in helping towards
the solution. Get the teachers to this
school, and the improvement in the
schools will be marked. The expenses
of the session are the lowest, and
teachers should be encouraged in
every possible way to attend. Boards
and superintendents are urged to con
sider this. It is not an uncommon
practice for superintendents to map
out courses for teachers to complete
on basis of promotion. A few teach
ers may study specialties and be a
great help to the Superintendents in
training other teachers in the in
troduction of the special branches.
The recreation feature of the
School will help to make the time
an enjoyable vacation outing needed
by all teachers. Every teacher
should aspire to start every school
year better equipped than in the pre
ceding year. Every superintendent
and school board should be ambitious
to operate schools improved every
year. The State offers great assis
tance to all through the Summer
School for Teachers with its Confer
ence tor Superintendents,

Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, which I did,
ind 1 found it to be the best family medi

I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
time now, and when my children feel a
little bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re
lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
