2ND GEORGIA’S
COLORS PLACED
IN STATEHOUSE
The official colors of the old Sec- '
end Georgia regiment, of which the
Americus Light Infantry (Company I) 1
was a par 1 , now repose in the state-'
house at Atlanta, havng been turned |
over to Governor Dorsey there a few
dage ago by Lieut. Colonel W. M. Wil
der for deposit in the archives. The j
colors were made and presented at,
Macon by the women of the cities rep- (
resented in the regiment which, after
being federalized, became the 121st
IT. S. Infantry.
The Americus Light Infantry, which
composed one company, and which has 1
since been disintegrated by the trans- '
fer of men both in France and on
side, left Americus in June, 1916, near
ly three years ago, for the Mexican
bordier under the command of Capt.
James A. Fort, and was in continuous
service up to the time the various
members were mustered out. I
The following from the Atlanta
Constitution tells of the presentation
•of the colors: j
“The two Hags, the regimental flag
and the national colors, hand-made
in silk, were brought to Atlanta by !
Lieut. Colonel William M. Wilder, who 1
is now on leave. After the death of
the regimental commander, Cokmel
James A. Thomas, Jr,, of Macon, Ga., •
who built the regiment into a first- }
class unit and who died at sea en- ■
route to France, Colonel Wilder took
temporary command. He was con
nected with the 49th United States ,
infantry until that regiment was re
turned to the S'tates in December,!
and then he was put in command of
the 366th infantry, which arrived in I
the States March 1. While on leave 1 •
and on his way to visit his family I,
he stopped in Atlanta to deliver the
flags into the proper hands pending
the reorganization of the regiment
or other such steps as may be taken.
“The 121st regiment joined the
American Expeditionary forces in
France on October 13,1918, with the 1
infantry and machine gun personnel i
of the 31st division, the Dixie Divi- |
sion. Instead of taking part in the
final drive this spring that was to j
wind up the war, the high command
of the allies determined to start the j
•drive in the fall, and while the en- ■
emy was being routed out of his I
trench positions to keep him moving 1
and drive him out of France. To de
this the combat divisions th,en in
the line and familiar with the situa- 1 .
tion were kept filled with fresh' j
men. This required a large number '
of men and to get these men it was
necessary to draw on the divisions i
then arriving. In this way many '
regimental organizations lost all op- j
portunity to function under their '
own name and number, but contrib
uted materially to the nanrs and fame I
of other regiments that had arrived •
in France before them.
“The regimental colors were pre
sented the regiment by the patriotic
women of the fourteen cities of
■Georgia from whi'.n the companies
of the regiment came in June. IX6,
when this regiment went into the
federal service and entrained for the
Mexican border. The cities repre
sented in the regiment are: Head
quarters company, supply company
and machine gun company, Macon;
Company A., Jackson; Company 8..
Winder; Company C., Elberton; Com
pany D., Columbus; Company E., Mil
ledgeville; Company F., Hartwell;
Company G., Barnesville; Company
H., Monroe; Company I, Americus;
Company K., Albany; Company L.,
Griffin; Company M, Forsyth; medi
cal detachment and band from Daw
son.

Cummings Laughs
at Soldiers’ League
DETROIT, April 21.—Homer S.
Cummings, chairman of the democratic
national committee, who came to De
, triot to meet the big men of the Mich
' igan democracy, does not take very
' seriously the movement in which
Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt is the
moving spirit to organize the soldiers
of the country.
“It is to laugh,” was his sole and
sufficient comment upon this agita
tion.
As to democratic success in the na
tional election in 1920, Chairman Cum
mings has no doubt. Here are his
reasons:
“The incoming congress is republi
can and it will have to abandon the
program of criticism and turn its at
tention to constructive measures. Cer
tain steps would have already been
taken which would show that har
mony is not possible in the republican
majority in the incoming congress.
The elements are irreconcilable. The
progressive element will be so fretful
under the standpat domination of the
ultra-consrvative group that we are
certain to have radical differences
and a general breakdown of the leg
islative program. It takes a groat ar
chitect to build a beautiful structure,
but any one can throw mud at it.
“The first thing that indicates demo
“The first thing that indicates demo
cratic success is the absolutely certain
incapacity of the republican congress
to carry out a constructive program.
As time goes on that incapacity will
be strongly contrasted with the really
great achievements which have been
brought to their fulfillment under the
leadership of President Wilson.
‘•‘The democratic record for the last
six years constitutes a miracle of leg
islative. progress.”

GA. SUMMER SCHOOL PICKED
BY PAN-AMERICAN UNION
The Pan-American Union desiring
to drect South American students
who wish to enter colleges in the
United States next year to some sats
factory summer school where these
students may make regular their en
trance studies and also perfect them
selves in the English language, has '
selected the University Summer
School at Athens, Georgia, at the one
best for these purposes. This is a
recognition of merit in one of the
leading summer schools of the United j
States. Dean T. J. Wooster in charge
will select a member of the faculty I
to instruct these students in English '
and to advise them in their studies
needed. Fortunately a member of the '
faculty, Professor Mamirez, is a na- j
tive Porto Rican who speaks English
and understands Portugese.
These South American students
will attend the short session open-1
ing June 30th, and will probably re- I
main after the close of the Summer I
School and until September under j
private tutelage. They will then enter
various colleges.

KANSAS CITY, April 21—“ Adve
rtising rests solely on the reader’s con
fidence,” Richard Lee, counsel of the
national vigilance committee of adl
vertisers and a crusader in the cause
of honest advertising, told the Kan
sas City Advertisers’ Club at luncheon
in the Hotel Baltimore.
Mr. Lee, former advertising manager
of the New York Tribune, has led
campaigns in the last two years that
have resulted in prosectuions and con
victions of the promoters of the Emer
son Motors Company, International
Automobile League, Alliance Tire and
Rubber Company and the International
India Rubber Corporation.
In his address Mr. Lee told how
the public had been victimized by :
these concerns and that with every
dlollar lost on such fradulent adver
tising schemes, a hundred dollars be
came suspicious of all advertisements.
"It is our duty as honest men and
as good business men to keep adver-;
tising truthful. We must strive to i
save the confidence of news readers.
The man who uses advertising space
illegitimately destroys that confidence
that alone makes advertising worthy
and profitable.
Truth Pays Dividends.
“We are not trying to destroy ad
vertising. Rather we are trjing to
build it up. Once gain the full con
fidence of the readers and advertising
will then be a valuable asset and!
will remain so as long as the merchant!
adheres strictly to the truth.
“The truth pays dividends. If you ■
doubt it, listen to this: More than !
a year ago one of the largest depart-!
ment store was ‘in bad.’ It had over
stepped in its advertising and its ad- •
vertising and its goods had fallen to !
low quality. Some paperes refused it I
space, others supervisied its copy un-!
til little remained. What was done? |
"Our vigilance committee was asked. I
We recommended absolute honest ad
vertising. If goods were bad or of low
quality, to say so. That was done.
April 1, 1918, every New York paper
carried advertising on the big truth

the proprietors, concerning the abso-

as: ‘No silk in these silk lisle hose,’
‘These are soiled and do not wash

‘These goods are marked low because
they were unfit for sale on upper
floors.’ On all the floors, in big signs,
was this pledge: ‘lf you are dis
satisfied with purchases at this sale
your money will be returned.’
Turned Failure Into Profit.
“That sale ended May 15 and broke
all records. Not only was the big
stock practically sold, but at a profit
of more than 1 million dollars. Inci
dentally customers bought with the
feeling they had been furnished cor
rect information, and so few demand
ed money back, that the firm has fol
lowed the truthful advertising plan
ever since.”
“A newspaper reporter can draw on
his imagination somewhat and the re
sultant story is a credit to him and a
delight to a reader. But that is not
true in the relationship between an
advertiser and that same newspaper.
The advertisers should know his goods
and tell the truth and the newspaper
should insist that he does so.
"Let me illustrate: A merchant ad
vertises shoes of values to sls for
$5.65. Mrs. Smith is fitted with a sls
shoe, while her neighbor, Mrs. Jones,
bought a former $lO shoe. Both got
bargains, you might say, yet that
merchant lost all the confidence those
women ever felt toward his adver
tising.”

FRENCH VERDUN
SURVIVOR TO
BE HEARD.HERE
An eloquent plea for friendship be
tween America and France and a
discussion of present-day world topics
is presented by Capt. Paul Perigord, of
the French army, who appears on the
coming Redpath Chautauqua. Capt.
Perigord is one of the 15i»0 sur • vors
of the 6000 French heroes wh > made
the last stand at Ve- dun. He wt s
several times wounded and live times
decorated for gallan’ -y.
Capt. Perigord possesses a wealth
of eloquence which makes his lecture
live long in the memories of those who
hear him. His English is excellent.
There is just the merest touch of
French accent, just enough to add
charm. His diction is caid to be won
derful.
Capt. Perigord speaks the mind of
the French people, and not of the dip
lomats and statesmen. His is not a
war lecture, although he wears all the
honors within the gift of the military
authorities. It is an expression of the
ideals of the French people and a
testimonial of the love and gratitude
the people of France have for the peo
ple of America.

Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound.” You will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. . Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
Soft’brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
•»he cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease. >
