♦ LOVING A GROUCH AWAY. *
♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦l
There's a look on the face you can
love away,
There’s a crease in the brow you
can smooth today;
There's a gleam in the eye you can
change to one
That is sweet as the ray of the morn
ing sun—
It’s the tour of our loving, the sweet
of our will,
That scatter the shadows of anger
and ill.
There's a grouch that you think will
be always the same,
So grim and so dark; but it goes as
it came
When you love it away with a tender
ness born
Os the spirit of brightness and glad
ness and morn —
There isn’t a grouch ever lived
very long ,
’Neath the spell of a love that is
sweetened with song.
You can love it away, love the ache
and the care,
Love the heart that is heavy with
grief and despair.
Till it lifts to the sunshine, as flow
ers in the spring,
Forgetting its wrinkles and creases
and frown
At the touch of love’s Angers like
velvet of dawn.
—Baltimore Sun.

I RO-.GERMAN CAUSED NEAR
FIGHT ON ATLANTA STREET CAR
ATLANTA. Ga., March 22.—That pa
triotism is reaching an acute stage in
Atlanta, though war has not actually
been declared as yet, was demonstrat
ed by a lively incident yesterday on a
trolley car. when two Germans for
got they were in America instead of
their precious Fatherland. They were
reading aloud in a scornful tone the
announcement that the United States
navy would soon be chasing German
submarines from the seas. One of
them remarked in a loud voice:
"If Wilson don’t be careful, Germany
will wipe his navy off the map.”
An Atlanta workingman in overalls,
seated behind them, rose to his full

••BUY AT-HOME” MOVEMENT
JOINED BY THE DELINEATOR
The “Buy-at-Home” movement in
Americus has been joined by a mighty!
ally. Our local merchants and asso
ciations have been pushing it for years,
with more or less success. And dur
ing an equal length of time outf-ot
town concerns have been bidding for
local trade through advertising in the
magazines which go into our homes,
and through the subsequent distribu
tion of their own catalagues direct to
Americus people.
Up to now, the “Buy-at-Home" move
ment has been conducted solely along
community lines. It has had no aid
from national sources. It is therefore
particularly cheering news to learn
that The Delineator, sold through
Ansley’s, has thrown the weight of its
tremendous influence on the side of
the local merchant —the man who pays
taxes here, employs neighbors and
fi lends, and helps build up the town
generally. Beginning with the April
issue, on sale March 10th, The Delin
eator eliminates from its advertising
columns the announcements of all
mail-order houses.
Save The Babies
These are authentic quotations from the pamphlet on babies pre
pared by Dr. L. Emmett Holt, of Columbia University, and Dr. Henry L.
K. Shaw, of Union University:
To avoid infection keep all playthings out of the baby's mouth.
Flies carry disease to baboes. Keep the boby’s room screened. Keep
flies away from the baoy’s food and from the baby at all times. Cover
the crip or carriage with netting *,o keep out the flies and mosquitoes.
This concludes the series.

KEYSTONE COMEDY
POTO HIGH AS A MARKET
FOR ELECTRICAL COORS
WASHINGTON, D. C„ March 22.
The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, of the department of com
merce. today issued a report on the
markets for electrical goods in Porto
Rico. It calls attention to the fact
that the only sources of business in
cuectrical material in any volume are
the electrification of sugar mills, the
erection of lighting plants in the
towns not now provided with them,
and lighting in general, both public
and private.
After many years of unsatisfactory
business, the sugar industry is at last
enjoying undeniable prosperity, and
the report suggests that when past
losses have been recouped to some ex
tent considerable capital may be avail
able for modernizing the sugar mills.
This will be the opportunity for
American manufacturers of electrical
equipment.
The new bulletin is taken up largely
with descriptions of power plants,
lighting, industrial power, telephone
and telegraph systems, steam and
electric railways, miscellaneous appli
ances. and advice as to the prospects
for selling. It is entitled “Electrical
Goods in Porto Rico.” Special Agents’
Series, No. 13», and is sold at five cent#
a copy by the Superintendent of Docu
ments. Washington, and by all the dis
trie t offices of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce.
