RUINED RHEIMS A LEAVE
CENTER.
There is an air of almost pre-war
. rosperity just now about the ruin
d French town of Rheims. Though
.recked and shell torn by wanton
ache gun fire until it bears no re-I
.mblanee to the beautiful city of a
. _w years ago it is a seen,* of great
.tivity. Taxicabs and other ve ;
~.cles rush madly about the streets.,
uvements are filled with little ta
»es in front of rudely constructed I
.Yes which ar e crowded all day and j
;e into the night. Improvised ho- j
’ is are jammed to overflowing, and
..undreds of booths filled with war
.uvenirs lin e th e curbs of :he prin
jal streets.
All the activity has been’ caused
y the city being thrown open a s a i
.ave center to American so«di?’.’n anu '

Eveiy train L reaching Rheims
;.ngs its quota of soldier sightseers. ■
rost of the boys ar e soioiers who
rved during the war back of the .
-ies. Their duty having kept them
..les away from the. fighting line
uese soldiers are intensely interest- '
J in viewing th e effect of the Ger- ]
.an shells. They are having their
yes opeped for the first time to the
rrible devastation and demolition
reaked on the unfortunate northern
action of France by a ruthiess an iy.
The government sends th e soldiers
i:o Rheims on leaves which run.
.am three to fourteen days in
..•ngth. As they arrive in town, wel
-are men take them in charge. The
.an are assigned comfortable cots
id provided with clean blankets,

.arious sightseeing tripsWranged for
nem.
The camp where the soldiers are re
ceived is situated in the heart of
■e of the city’s most beautiful
rks, Les Promenades. Four huts,
ch 18 feet wide and 120 feet long,
i.ous e them from 800 to 1000 meals
• ery day at about one-third the
ce charged by French restaurants.
edging is furnished th e vistors fret?
•d four large trucks are used to
rry tliem to the various points of
rerest.
After viewing the wrecked cathed
;al and beng shown the tremendous
■ image done the town itself, the sol-
Kers are taken out to the old trench
wne.e they load themselves down
i h Boche helmets and other souve
. to tend home and then are driven

-Ug 11 e which the Allies tried so
g tc break through.
i'en vo.i.vii workers and four men

are organizationns of entertainers
rovide amusement in the evenings.
General Didier, the French com
undant at Rheims is co-operating
h the workers in caring for the
oldiers and is showing a lively in
cest in the welfare of the Ameri
n troop s who visit the city.
BOBOLINKS MAY BE SHOT.
Rice growers of North Carolina,
uth Carolina, Georgia, and Fiori
sustained a loss of $150,000 last
1 from the depredations of nee
ds, known also as reedbirds or bob
oi .iks. This fact determined by in-
'tigationg of the Biological Sur
', United States Department of
•icuhure.
he control measure is shooting
birds in the rice belt or in na
tion to it. Therefore, the See
ry of Agriculture, under authori
of the migratory bird treaty act,
authorized the shooting of bob
ks, under restrictions. The
>oting must not begin earlier than
anil hour before sunrise anfi
.st not be continued after sunset.
Th e season during which bobolinks
may be shot varies. It runs from
September 1 to October 30, inclus
ive, for the States of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
and the District of Columbia, and
from August 16 to November 15, in
clusive, for the States of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, and Florida. Birds killed
may be used as food by the persons
shooting them or may be transport
ed to hospitals or other charitable in
stitutions for use as food, but must
not be sold or shipped for purposes
of sale or b e destroyed or wantonly
wasted.
This bird ranges in migration from
Canada to Paraguay. It is a high
ly esteemed songster in the Northern |
States, where it nests and where it
is known as the bobolink.
In addition, its food habits in its
breeding range ar e distinctly in
the bird’s favor. It begins to be
somewhat of a pest, however, in the
Middle Atlantic States, wher e it is
known as the reedbird. It reaches
the rice fields about August 20, when
the rice is in the milk, and over
runs the fields. From then until the
ricebird departs for its winter home
in South America the planter is con
stantly worried by its ravages. A
loss of 10 per cent of the crop in the
areas affected is common, despite all
efforts at scaring them away.
HOMEMADE DEVICES COOL
KITCHENS.
It is cooler in 10.345 Southern
kitchens this summer, for that many
housekeepers in the South have made
fireless cookers and iceless refrigerat
ors with the aid of the .home demon
station agents during the past year.
This number includes only thosi
taught directly by the extension
workers. It is impossible to estimate
how. many learned from their neigh
bors how to make and use their hot
weather comforts.
Southern women in home clubs
during 1918 made and installed alto
gether 58,394 devices for saving la
bor and improving sanitary condi
tions. Os this number, 6,837 were
fireless cookers, 3,508 iceless refrig
erators, 15,703 fly traps, 14, 343 fly
screens, 1,764 improved ironing
boards, 411 wheel serving trays, 187
shower baths, 864 kitchen cabinets,
985 water systems installed, 615
driers for home use, and 14,178 oth
er labor saving devices, becaus e they
had learned through demonstrations
of their value. This number includ
ed" water canners, steam pressure
cookers, lighting plants, and various
oth«r articles which make for the
comfort and health of the home .The
■ clubs organized through the efforts
of.the United States Department of
Agriculture, and th e state colleges
ar e schools of instruction in family
betterment and community welfare,
, clearing houses of neighborhood
’ knowledge, and public exchanges
where patterns, magazines, recipes,
and ideas are given and taken.

The readers of this paper will ’
pleased to learn that there is at lea.. !
one dreaded disease tl.at science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in the curative power of Hall's
Catarrh Medicine that they offer One
Hundred DoHars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Bragg’s Market Asks?
What are you going, to do about the high cost of liv
living? This question concerns our whole country today.
W’e have had on an advertising campaign for the past
two months, telling the public of our stock of goods, and
advantageous prices. We believe our trade has doubled in
that time. We want to give the lowest prices, consistent
with the quality of goods, that can be had in Americus.
Our motto is, to reduce the cost of living. It is up to the
dealer to buy cheaper, in order to sell cheaper. It is up to
the consumer to know where they can buy for less. Some
people are buying things on the street and paying more for
same than they have to pay/n the store. Just because they
are asked the price. Buy a dollars wort hfor your dollar.
Be economical. Save money. You might need it later.
Cash and carry will help wonderfully to solve the problem.
Delivery service is bad at its best.
Now remember, we are tryin gto have just what you
want. 50c stew beef, or 75c roast, is worth more than a
dollar’s worth of steak. Phone us. Let us tell you what
We have. We will do our best to please you.
