POWERFUL ENEMY
Little Insect Takes Huge Toll
From Country
Scientists say that mosquitoes car
rying the deadly malaria and other
disease germs are responsible for
more deaths than all of the wars since
the beginning of time.
Their bite is often as deadly as a
rattlesnake’s.
By every method known to man
kind both national and local health
services ar’e trying to exterminate
them, but this will never be. We must
protect ourselves against this pest.
By proper screening and by a daily
spray of TORMENT the house can
be kept fre'e of all mosquoties. TOR
MENT is a gaseous vapor in which
no dangerous insect can live. It is
death to insects but harmless to
human beings.

and dealers everywhere.

THE BOOK OF ANN.
Bob, in a Letter, Explains Why He
Left Me in Suei Haste.
I wrenched my thoughts from |
Ann’s affairs. My own required
careful consideration. I reviewed the,
news Bob had so carefully set down (
in the letter he had left on my desk. ■
My estrangement from husband, ,
which had been caused by the mur-|
dered man’s impertinence, which had
threatened to come to a bitter con
clusion was. in away, Daddy Lori
mer’s fault!
Bob wrote that his father had in
vested some pocket money, as he calls
his “extra” dividends, on the side.
He had bought up some of the ne
cessities of life and was holding
them for higher prices! Bob con
sidered it a blot on the Lorimers
’scutcheon, although several other
millionaires of the utmost respecta
bility were doing the same thing,
and calling it clever business
The game was altogether outside
of his father’s line, Bob wrote, and
it was especially disreputable be
cause his father hadn’t the slightest
need of the money. Now the gov
ernment was trailing similar invest
ments and so Bob and the lawyer,
Joyce, had gone off to negotiate the
sale of the hoard, at any price, to
get rid of it and avoid publicity.
Bob loathed the job, but he had
decided to get the thing over with
as soon as possible. He could man
age, because he had had entire, con
trol of his father’s affairs since his
father’s last sickness. But .it his
dad knew about the government in
vestigation, he would be aroused to
an awful fit of wrath and none of
us could predict the consequences. |
If a brain lesion did not prove fatal j
it might paralyze daddy for the re-,
mainder of his life. ;
“It was this business which kept
me away from home last night,
wrote my husband. ’Of colurse I
might have sent a messenger to tell
you, but Jane, honestly, I was so
upset by the whole darn mess that
1 forgot all about you. It was a
secret, and half a hundred of dads!
business rivals and political enemies,
would have paid young fortunes to
hang the story on him. So I couldn 1I
phone you. Even the telephone
booth have ears at such times. Do
you get me?” ,
I more than got his meaning. I
realized that 1 had misconstrued my
husband’s actions and blamed him
bitterly when he was most m need
of my sympathy. I
Bob is the- most democratic of men.
He is for the people by instinct. I
knew that he must be bitterly dis
gusted to learn that his father was
taking a hand in the great profiteer
ing game. 1 knew that he must have
been annoyed almost beyond endur
ance to have to straighten out such
a muddle. His wisdom and patience
would be tried to the limit in his
endeavor to manage the affair dip
lomatically; that is, without arous
ing his father’s wrath.
And I, the stupid wife, had, mis
interpreted my man completely!
“Os course I was furious when I
saw you with Ives,” ran Bob’s let
ter, written before the news of the
murder of Ives came out. “I was in
a rage, but I never meant to let our
difficulty drift so far, my dear. I
determined to go home and hear your
story—l can always trust my own
little girl. That brute, Ives, ought
to be shot, and some one will do it
some day!” .
“Some man did do it, not long at
ter this was written,” was niy com
ment, then I went on with Bob’s note:
“Back at the office I found fath
er’s lawer, Joyce, with the news that
the government was trailing dad’s
hoard. Naturally, I couldn’t attend
to our little affair. Father’s busi
ness required immediate action. You
and I would have to wait. But imag
ine my feelings, dear girl, when I
went home for my bag and found
you were away! We’ll make it up,
darling, when I get back.”
I kept Bob’s pillow and kissed it
at intervals. And I blamed myself,
in the way all wives do, for a do
mestic quarrel.
Perhaps wives blame themselves
justly. My mind had been revolv
ing around and around the emotional
realm while Bob’s mind had been
completely absorbed in his business.
I had been living in an erotic
world, a world which was deceptive,
to say the least.
“Erotic!” I hated the word.
Ann’s thoughts were erotic. And
where would she end? Where would
she drag the rest of use?
She might be arrested —so ran my
imagination.

Good Weather to Fin
ish Job
With the weather continuing as at
present, the first three mile project
of Sumter county’s permanent pav
ing project will be completed and
thrown open for use by the public
within six weeks, according to W. C.
Caye, Jr., district highway engineer
of the Georgia Highway department,
whose headquarters are in Americus,
and under whose direction the en
gineering work is being done. The
project consists of a stretch of the
Dixie Highway beginning at the M.
B. Council plantation and extending
in the direction of Americus almost
to the city limits. The material used
is bituminous asphalt, laid upon a
foundation of crushed and rolled
slag, and applied by the Finley meth
od. The work on the road, except the
actual surfacing by Finley experts,
is being done by convicts, and Mr.
Caye said yesterday that he would
prepare for the county commission
ers a statement showing the exact
cost of the work as soon as it had
been completed. The Times-Record
er hopes to be able to publish this
statement as soon as possible, and
will apply to the commissioners for
permission to do so at their next
meeting. ,
NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.
By order of the Mayor and City
Council the tax books for the return
of assessments will be kept open un
til July 1. After that date all prop
erty not returned by the owners will
be subject to double taxation. I will
be in my office daily hereafter to
receive these returns, and all tax
payers are asked to be governed
thereby. _
