MONDAY, APRIL 21, 1919. 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. 1 Alcazar ; Theatre < I —_ I MONDAY !

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.” New England Has Phone Service Again BOSTON, April 21.—(8y Associated Press.) —Telephone service here and i at other places in New England affect ed by the strike of operators and elec- I trical workers, was resumed in part I early today. 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 sale. The public was skeptical, so were the proprietors, concerning the abso- Special Sales AT Standard Fine Smooth Sea Island at 10c. 2,000 Yards Fine Smooth Sea Island, fine weave.

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.” First Tenement in New York.

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. mo uie m cuissin~~| WANTED —To buy second hand gas stove.

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.
