■f THE ANCIENT DOCTRINE F
++++++ + + + + + +
O good gigantic smile o’ the brown oil
earth
This autumn morning! How he sets
his bones
To back i’ the sun, and thrusts out
knees and feet
To the ripple to run over in its
mirth;
Listening the while, where on the heap
of stones
The white breast of the sea lark
twitters sweet.
That is the doctrine, simple, ancient,
true;
Such is life’s trial, as old earth
smiles and knows,
If you loved only what were worth
your love,
Love were clean gain, and wholly
well for you;
Make the low nature better by your
throes'.
Give earth yourself, go up for gain
above!
—Robert Browning.

fashion of high cut boots
IS result of accident
ATLANTA, Ga„ March 24—That the
prevailing fashion of expensive high
cut boots in soft colored leather is
the result of an accident, like many
other fashions in times past, is de
clared by a man who has been in
vestigating women’s footwear.
He says that last year a shoe dealer
at a big fashionable resort found trade
dull and deliberately bought up, from
a theatrical furnishing house, a large
quantity of beautiful extra high cut
ladies boots in various colored kids,
with high heels —in fact the boots
which until a few years ago, we only
saw —and admired —on the trim toots
ies of chorus girls and stage beauties.
City people at the resort saw the
display and figured that they must be
advanced showings from New York.
They bought, and soon fashionable
women were wearing with short skirts
on the street elaborate and beautifully
cut and colored boots such as had
never been worn before outside of
musical comedy.
When these people went back to the!
city with their fancy boots the fashion
was soon set. Manufacturers started
in to meet the demand, makng high
topped shoes of all the colors of the
rainbow, some of them lacing half
way to the knee and now everybody is
buying and wearing the chorus girl
shoes even though they cost from sl2
to $25 a pair.

“BIRTH OF A NATION”
WILL COME HERE SOON
Manager W. H. C. Dudley stated last
night to a representative of the Times-
R ecorder that the great motion picture
spectacle, ‘‘The Birth of a Nation.'’
will be shown in Americus within a
short time, the famous production hav
ing been booked after considerable dif
ficulty in completing arrangements.
“Americus people will have an op
iportunlty to see this greatest film of
modern times,” said Mr. Dudley, “as
the booking has been absolutely assur
ed, the definite dates to be announced
within a few days.”
AMERICAN SAILORS GET
HIGHER WAGES THAN ARE
PAID ON ENGLISH SHIPS
NEW YORK, March 24—Higher
wages paid sailors on American as
compared to English merchant ships
will handicap this country at the
close of the war in its competition
with England for commercial suprem
acy of the seas, according to Dr. Geo.
Sidney Webster of the American Sea
man’s Friend Society. Dr. Webster’s
opinions are based on observation in a
number of American ports and espec
ially in the port of New York where a
large Sailors’ Home is maintained on
the North River waterfront.
“The increased merchant ship pro
duction in this country,” says Dr. Web
ster, “will not of itself give the United
States a commercial supremacy of the
seas, although in 1916 the output for
probably the first time in history ap
proximated that of Great Britain.
“This increased production will not
entirely fly under the American flag,
but even a large percentage of the
ships which should be under American J
ownership will be under foreign reg-i
1 istry at the end of the war, when the.
protection afforded by the American'
flag is no longer necessary and the
lower wages paid on foreign ships will;
offer a great inducement for foreign•
registry.” |
THERE WILL BE NO RISE IN
PIUCE OF EASTER FLOWERS
CHICAGO, March 24.—You may not
be able to eat the once aristocratic
egg for Easter but along with the new
suit or dress two weeks from tomor
row you can sport a bouquet of violets
or even the custom decreed Easter
lily. They’re not going up in price.
Florists in Chicago and the rest of the.
country so announced today.
At the annual national gathering
here of horticulturists, wholesale and
retail, it became apparent that neither
the tariff, war or submarine blockade
could by the most vivid stretch of
imagination be ascribed as an excuse
for an advance in the cost of milady’s
corsage.
Lilies, the florist declare, will al
ways remain the flower of Easter.
Corsage bouquets of violets, livened up
with lilies of the valley or an orchid
will also be the correct thing for
Easter day.
Other information of note was the
declaration that the tendency of the
times is to return to the old June roses
of yesterday, the round petaled flowers
which grow in the country. The
Wieland and the Storey varieties are
scheduled to become the most popular.
