This is the season that is most dis
couraging to spring poets.
Often it is true that a man sends
.carnations to an American beauty.
Some women who would look best
3n black never attain to widowhood.
It doesn’t make any difference how
some women look as long as they
look well.
Old Winter must be traveling on
slow time, pudging by his flare-back
last night and today.
Whenever some people have trou
bles they bring them to the office o'
the food administrator.
After a recent experience we admit
there are certain women who ought
•not to wear short skirts.
How to be happy, even though un
married is what some Americus bach
elors are trying to ascertain.
We don’t know’ whether high heels
make women any tailer, but they cer
tainly make them look better.
Gasoline is about the only luxury
left upon which a spendthrift may ex
-ercise his talent without restraint.
The rule against serving wheat
products on Mondays and Wednesdays
•certainly does apply to some kinds of
hash.
Whenever a fellow is beginning to
fall In love you can always tell it, be
•cause he develops violent antipathy to
Ibis girl’s mother.

Come to think of it, a short skirt
and a flat-heel shoe are about the
poorest combination in women’ sdress
we have ever observed.
With rye altogether outlawed al
ready, it begins to look like the food
a. '.ministration is preparing to put
Wheat flour into the same class.

Some men who are well above mil
itary age are fighting as hard as the
men in the first line. They are the
ones who are buying Liberty bonds.
People in Texas are praying for
rain, which encourages us to believe
this o'd fashioned custom may soon
again become an ordinary one in these
parts.
Many a garden looked sheepish this
jrorning, and if this weather contin-,
Ues, Americus people may yet foregm
the infinite delights of the toothsome
English pea .
Over in Alabama a girl has turned
a fellow down who brought her thrift
stamps instead of candy. Probably be
cause she thought he wasn’t in the
market for any bonds of matrimony.
If it is true there were as many sol
diers in parade of the Dixie
divisions at Macon, a<? there were in
• fi
sherman's army, let they
will succeed in inflicting as
damage upon the enemy as that com
| jsuander’s army did on Georgia folks.
1776-1918.
The decendants of the compatriots
of Washington and Paul Jones are
fighting once again side by side with
the decendants of the compatriots of
Lafayette and Rochambeau. The time
and opportunity have come for a na
tion to pay a great debt of gratitude
lor service rendered in great national
need and America is paying France
the debt she long has owed.
In the Revolutionary War for the
freedom of America the French fought
on American soil under the command
of an American. Today in the war for
the freedom of France and for the
preservation of liberty to America, and
indeed to all the world, Americans
fight on French soil under the supreme
comand of a Frenchman. The honors
are even and the honors are great.
Xo true American who knows the
history of his country and loves the
honor of his country but thrills at the
thought of the American army in
France. The invincible American?
will turn the tide of war; they will
bring to France and her allies a vic
tory for liberty such as France assist
ed us to win, and repay with interest a
debt to liberty and to France long ow
. :s and honorably acknowledged.
I END—NOT SPEND—YOUR MONEY.
If you lend your money to the gov
ernment, you may be quite sure that
it is going to be used for some na
tional purpose—to prosecute the war
successfully, to care for, equip, arm
?.;:d supply our soldiers in France, to
be used by our navy in ridding the
seas of the murderous U-boats.
But if you spend your money even
with the belief that by putting it into
the channels of trade others into
whose hands it comes will lend it to
the government, you will have done
something the patriotism of which may
be very questionable.
First, you have withdrawn from the
supply of material of the nation some -
thing to replace which in the market
will require labor and material which
should be devoted to war purposes.
Second, the person to whom you pay
your money may also use it to pur
chase things requiring material and
labor which should be devoted to wav
purposes. An the person to whom ho
pays it may repeat the operation.
But when you lend your money to
the government instead of spending it,
yr u will at once lessen the drain to
a certain extent on our country’s re
sources, its material, its labor, ffnd
its transportation facilities, and in ad
dition you supply your government
woth money to be used in winning the
war.
Every purchase of a Liberty Loan
Bond is an individual act toward bring
ing victory to America and her allies.
No man who doesn't chew tobacco
can use profanity with that finesse
required to properly discuss the
troubles of a paragrapher. Now the
question arises. “Does Johnny Spen
cer .Chew.”

GERMANY FURNISHES THE PROOF
Every development since our entry
into the war has justified and proved
the wisdom, the imperative necessity
of America's participation. Every
German success and every German
failure have shown how necessary to
the safety and peace of the world
the defeat of Germany is. Every foot
of ground Germany has been forced
to give us, every foot of land she has
seized, have demonstrated the abso
lute necessity of defeating that sinister
and intolerable thing called German
j ism.
AN AMERICAN PEACE.
There can be no peace with honor
or safety to ourselves or to posterity,
except a just pedee. and there can and
wll be no other peace. Work for
peace accomplishes nothing but the
hampering of our effort, the delay of
the real peace, and a greater toll of
death of America’s fighting men. Our
duty i.-. to war for a just and right
eous peace; to work or speak for any
other peace is aid and comfort to
Germany—injury and disloyalty to our
boys in France.
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
THE DOUBLE EFFECT OF
E( ONOMY.
""
When an American citizen, instead |
I
of spending SIOO for something ha!
wants, denies himself and lends the
money to the government he perform:
a double service.
First, he furnishes the government
with SIOO to use in the prosecution of
the war.
Second, he has relieved to the extern
of SIOO the drain on our “goods and
services:’’ that is , materials and labor
To make the article or articles he
would have bought, or to manufac
ture others to take their place in the
market? would require materials and
Labor. In addition, to get the article
to him labor and freight space would
be required. By doing without the ar
tide, he has left free a certain amount
of material to be used for war pur
poses, a certain amount of labor to
be used in the same way, and he has
also relieved to a certain extent the
transportation facilities of the coun
try.
•
This may not be much in the indi
vidual case, but when hundreds of
thousands and millions of Americans
pursue this course it means millions
pnd millions of dollars loaned the gov
ernment, tremendous quantities of ma
t-rials left for uses of the nation in
this war, millions of hours of labor
free to do war work, and a vast
amount of freight space free for na
tional uses.
These sacrifices are easy to make;
are small and trivial compared to the
sacrifices that our soldiers and sail
ors make daily while they offer con
stantly their lives for their country,
th e greatest sacrifice of all.
EVERY AMERICAN'S DUTY.
To work, economize, and lend money
to the government is the duty of ev
ery American.
Hundreds of thousands of our men
have been called to arms and taken
‘"way from the productive forces of the
country.
Hundreds of thousands of others
have been diverted from producing
things used in peace to producing
things used in war.
In the face of this lessened produc-.
tive force and production a great and
unusual drain upon our resources is
made by our army and navy and our
allies.
Work and speed-up production to
make up for the lessened production;
economize in consumption to lessen as
much as possible the drain upon our
resources; lend your money to your
government to prosecute this war suc
cessfully and make our soldiers pow
erful, effective and victorious.
Every American can do an individ
ual service to his country by working,
saving and buying Liberty Bonds.
YOUR SSO LIBERTY BOND.
It will protect 1,000 soldiers from
smallpox and 666 from typhoid. It
will assure the safety of 139 wounded
soldiers front lockjaw, the germs of
which swarm in Belgian soil.
It will render painless 400 opera
tions, supply 2 miles of bandages—
enough to bandage 553 wounds.
It will care for 60 injuries in the
way of "first aid packets.”
It will furnish adhesive plaster and
surgical gauze enough to benefit thou
sands of wounded soldiers.
Every purchaser of a Liberty Loan
bond performs a distinct individual
service to his country and to our boys
fighting in France.
