♦ “UNCLE DAN’EL SAYS.” *
Says Uncle Dan’el: Seems to me, we
sometimes overwork the straight
And narrow rule as it’s applied to
thinking; we contract
Our mental muscles till they cramp,
become deformed. Os late
I've thought we ought to ‘scatter’
more; it never was a fact
That one must get into a rut to grow
—the big tree grows
Up, up and out, far out—as well as
down and deep; and those
"Who would enlarge must grow, de
velop, in more ways than one,
In more diieetions than just down—or
even straight ahead.
We are too prone to stress the fore
sight-gift; when all is done,
The man who frequently reviews the
way he came and makes
Experience his guide may deal in
'spots’ quite unafraid—
And win out over one who deals in
‘futures’ dangerous and takes
A chance on foresight keen, without
capital, experience.
The looking backward is the more im
portant oftentimes, to know
How best to act just now, which way
and how at this cross-roads to go—
It's looking back judiciously, which
gices us common-sense
For present duty—present duty done,
the future’s saef; and, so,
The look around, and out, and by all
manner, up, is infinitely more
Important than just looking straight!
ahead. To do and go and—graw j
There must be relatives, coniparatives, i
something to do, somewhere to go,|
A wide horizon ever sweeping out
waid to explore.”
—D. G. BICKERS.

BEAUTIFUL CAKE IS
( OOKED IN THE CITY
A thing of beauty and undoubtedly
proving very delicious is a handsome
wedding cake cooked and designed by |
Albert Fuller, a German, who is pas-'
try cook at the Windsor Hotel. It sets |
the fine work of Americus artists
aside for the moment, and it is believ-'
ed that a full verdict of approval in
this statement will be given by the I
people who view the cake in the show •
window of the Allison Furniture Co.,'
today. Mr. Fuller prepared the cake I
for his step granddaughter who is to
be married in Atlanta. The basis of
(the huge gift is fruit cake, and it
weigh 80 pounds. It measures 31,
inches in length, and 18 inches in its'
width. The heighth of the massive!
beauty is at least two feet. Candies,
fruits and colored draperies are used |
to set off the cake, and the three decks
are ornamented with sweets, all the
work of Mr. Fuller. On the top of the .
cake is a miniature man and woman
with a small wedding bell hanging
overhead, which symbolizes the occas-1
ion for which Mr. Fuller’s presents 1
the gift. It is said that the excellent
cook made the cake in less than a week
and during his spare time. It exceeds
description, and through the kindness
of Manager C. U. Rogers, of the
Windsor, it will be placed on exhibition,
today in the Allison’s company win
dow.

I’ENNSYLVANIA DUTCHMEN
ARE SOME SWIMMERS
ATLANTA, Ga.. Nov. 11. —Atlanta’s
crack swimmers of the local Y. M. C.
A. and other athletic organizations
were given an introduction last night
to some startling new aquatic stunts
by Lambert and Van Sternbergh, a
couple of husky young Pennsylvania
Dutchmen from the city of Reading
in that state who are making a three
year tour of the world in preference
to spending three years in college,
and who expect to get a vast deal
more of genuine education from their
travels than they would in the class
room and dormitory. They are mak
ing the trip in an automobile and are
earning practically all their expens- j
es as they go. By the time they reach ■
,Europe via a crossing of the Amer
ican continent, the Pacific Ocean, Ja
pan, China and Asia, they expect the
war to be offer.

Fall In And Keep
Step
Americus, with her many natural advantages, her sightly
location, her historic surroundings, her unexampled transpor
tation facilities and many other blessings which contribute to
her peoples’ wealth and happiness, ought to take a foremost
place among the growing, progressive and live cities of the
state.
The foundation is here to build upon; whether that super
structure of prosperity shall be built depends on her people
—upon the unity of purpose of her loyal citizens.
If all will join hands and push and boost, Americus will
realize her highest ambitions and take that place among her
sister cities that she rightfully deserves.
Americus will rise when her people are detetmined that
she shall—when local pride triumphs over narrow, petty, per
sonal concerns and when the energy of all is merged to ac
complish something for the general good.
Americus Will Grow When
Every Citizen Makes a Reso
lution to Always Buy Every
thing They Need From Local
Concerns
Always keep this fact in mind—it’s THE INDIVIDUAL
EFFORT that goes to make up the whole —Yours and Mine.
Don’t be a laggard—GET IN LINE with the progress of
Americus—and S TAY there.
