PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.
j The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder has
a record of 95 per cent cures of Hog
r Cholera. If you feed your hogs as
directed, you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the directions are very simple,
just about what you are doing, plus
a few cents worth of B. A, Thomas
Hog Powder in the feed twice a week.
r Uusally, though. Cholera gets in be
feore we know it. Then it requires
> close attention to each hog— each hog
must be dosed—and if you will dose
them as directed, you will save flfetter
than 90 per cent. If you don’t, the
B. A. Thomas medicine costs you
nothing. We —not some distant man
ufacturer —pay your money back. For

IMEHIEIIS GREEKS
QOITE PATRIDTIG;
WILLINGTO SERVE
NOT A SLACKER IN THE LOCAL
COLONY—NOW THAT THEY CAN
SERVE IN AMERICAN ARMY
THEY ARE DELIGHTED.
There are no slackers among the
Americus Greeks. ?
All of them, ,to the man, express
their desire to go io the army when
ever they are needed, now that they
are able to serve in the American
army, thanks to a treaty just closed
with Greece.
The following Washington dispatch
explains the treaty:
WASHINGTON,.. August.. 30. A
treaty providing for the drafting for
military service of Gree keitizens in
America and American citizen citi
zens in Greece, similar in general
terms to conventions between the
United States and other cobelliger
ents, was signed at the state depart
ment today by Secretary Lansing and
Minister Roussos.
The Greek colony in Americus has
the following members: New York
Case: Jim C. Rombos, Chris Saka
loreou, Nick Sampson. Chrystal
Case: Paul Vones, Sam Vrakas.
Arthur Cothones, Nick Thodes, John
Papas. Jim Souteriou. Americus Fish
Market: Nita, Anthony Nita. Ameri
cus Confectionary Co.: Sam Souterio.
People’s Case: Nick Crones, Moshos
Rigps. Georgia Grapery Co.: John
Sakadelos, Tassios Rigos, Americus
Case; George Econom, E. Econoff, G.
Tregones.
"There is not a Greek slacker in
Americus,” says John Nita. Most of
us, anyway, have already served in
the Grecian army, and we are ready
to do service again. Our sympathies
have always been with the Allies. In
fact, we consider ourselves one of
the Allies, and we want Germany beat
en just as much as the Americans do.
Now that we can serve in the Ameri
can army, we are ready to go the min
ute we are called, and if necessary all
of us will sell our business and leave
in a body.”
