’ j’HE ATTENTION of the local public has been called in the recent
past to the high position which has been given Americus and the
surrounding territory in the amusement world through the Americus
theaters. Nearly every' week .Americus lovers of good pi< tures see
ALL of the best pictures at our own houses being shown that week
in the dozen leading houses of Atlanta and other cities—and not in
frequently they get to see the biggest and best pictures ahead of
Atlanta.
The program being shown at the Rylander this week is one of
the biggest yet offered by this theater since its openin ' and em
braces the pick of week-run houses. On Monday there was .Adan
Dwan s A Perfect Crime, an amusing high class comedy drama
from the Saturday Evening Post story. Tuesday brought Pola Negri
the famous Lurop« ma< Ires . i erb production of the original
stoiy of Carman under the name Gypsy Blood. Wednesday
offered winsome Constance lalmadge in Lessons of Love, and on
Ihuisday is scheduled Good Women, a great production while
Friday and Saturday bring the most costly production yet sh

I he Alcazar, too. is running some very fine pictures this week
and every week. It was only a lew days ago that Manager Md
Prather received instructions to send one or the pictures he was
showing, “Two Week's With Pay," direct
Atlanta's million Dollar play house, where it toiiowed the show.nz :r.
Americus with a run of a week.
The class of amusements furnished Americus is far in advance
of most other towns this size and even much larger They are
already drawing people to
meaning more shopping here and more business generally, as weli as
greater interest in Americus from outside. The Times-Recorder has
long contended that high-class amusements are not onF. s great as
set to a city, but a necessity if the city is to advance in tze and im
portance. Such amusements are today putting Americus » the man
in a new and important way.

JN HIS LAS! MESSAGE to Congress one of the things that Presi
dent Wilson recommended with great emph ■ s was that the
pinos be given their independence
General Wood is now in the Philippines
port whether the time has arrived f m to vacate
Enough news of the general
dicate very strongly that his rep .
ommendation.
Just what, if any changes General Woo : - -
L'ncle Sam's policy of handling the Philippines is of ■ , .. . .
atical. But the chances all set
lenient policy.
Under the Wilson regime the ma
islands was practically turned over to the Filipinos, the governor
general sent out from the states beingxnore or less of a n/rr-T.-,- d
¥ ¥ ¥
THE FILIPIPNOS seem to have done fairly well along
some lines, the consensus of opinion of Americans who live in or
have visited the islands is that they still have a long way to go to
reach the point where in their own interest Uncle Sam's sustaining m .
guiding hand should be withdrawn.
Philippine finances are said to be in a terrible mess as the re ...
of rilipino weakness in that direction.
I hen, of course, the U nited States must consider its own inter
est as well as that of the Filipinos. The present state of our own
lelations with Japan lias a direct bearing on the Philippine question
both when considered from the standpoint of our interest and that
of the r ilipinos.
The probability that field work now under way in Luzon wffi
disclose large oil deposits in this, the most important island of the
‘ "liippine group, is one of the elements that is bound to affect our
future Philippine policy.
Dk i Al . loge ! her ’ the whole subject of what our future relation to the
I hihppmes is to be is most perplexing and offers a wide field for
speculation.
This is why General Wood’s report, which will undoubtedly have
an important if not a determining influence on that policy, is being
anticipated with such keen interest.

YOU WANT to know the real home troubles and problems
of your neighbors in Americus, turn to the classified ads, most
intimate form of advertising, also the oldest.
Classified ads were used 2400 years ago in Pompeii, Roman
city buried by a volcanic eruption in the year 79. They didn't have
newspapers in those days, so they used billboards.
I ill . are ,J ol ' r .a 1 ads found on ancient Pompeiian
billboards by Prof. David M. Robinson of Johns Hopkins nUiversity:

“SLACKERS” TO BLAME [
By Dr. William E. Barton
The publication of the first install
! ment of the lists of men enrolled in
| W ashington as deserters has already
: ev jked some tacts that bring discom
fort to the people concerned. Here is
lone of them:
t A man whose name we will not
.further expose to pitiless publicity,
I but will cad John Doe. registered in
i the y;; precincts in Chicago, and was
! a.-signeu his piace in the draft list.
When hi- number was called, he
• was not at the address given, nor did
he appear there during the entire
period of the war. His name is now
published by the government as a
deserter.
Now John Doe writes from Ma
comb, Hl., showing that he enlisted
in that town, was promoted and hon
o:ably discharged as a lieutenant
colonel. He feels very indignant.
But the war department comes
back, and says that whatever dis
grace attaches to publication, he is
If iesponsible for; and that, in
pile of whatever honor he wan un- ■
<b is- enlistment from Macomb, he I
till a deserter, and liable to pros-
• ■ ation.
Failed tc Reply.
The department says that he knew'
ai d was fully informed that it wa.
hr duty in case of removal from the.
plai< of his registration to notify ti »■
department, and leave a permanent
mailing address.
The department says that there 1
w< •> mailed io him at the address of
his registrar! •r„ in Chicago, and
ih.ubtk .- s forwarded to him in Ma
comb, questionnaires and documents
to which he made no reply, as was
hi- duty to have made.
Tile department says that there
wen 697 Does . i the service, and a
number of them w .re John Does,]
and that there is no one employed

of mindreading and clairvoyance en

John Doe of Mac. mb is the same
- John Doe who reg.-’.ered in Chicago.
1 Will Bear Stigma
»• I will venture the prediction that
- John Doe wil not e prosecuted for
s desertion, though lega.iy liable for
that. But he will bear all his life a
t certain stigma, and he will know
,’that he deserve- it.
i! This trifling detail of giving a per
: f manent address, and oi filing out
.(blanks—what is the good of it? To
•i send a permanent address would in-
I volve the trouble of writing a postal
card, and the fihii.g out of a clank
is a botner, as everyone knows. It
i might have cost John Doe five min
! utes of time. Who can blame him for
• liiis neglect.
I Men have been hanged for less
neglect than that, and have deserved
their hanging.
We are too casual, too easy-going.
Deserves Blame
We receive our invitations with
I “R. S. V. P.” on them,*and you may
ask any hostess what happens, ine
■ rudeness, the unpardonable neglect
of good people in matters of simple
courtesy calling for a little thought.
i is astonishing.
Young men in business do just the
• kind cf thing that John Doe did. and
think their employers severe wiui.
they say, “Young man. you will nev-
■or succeed in business until you
learn to meet your t-ngag men;
promptly. You must be reliab’. ?. or
you will be a failure.”
It may be the solemn duty of the
War Department to court-mart i;..
Lieut. Col. John Doe, to find his
guilty, reprimand him, and pardo
him. Probably the department v.
not take that trouble, hut will let
him go in v’ew of hi - d
in service.
But that good conduct can nevi*
I excuse his failure in duty.
If he carries the stai-i to the rd
of his life, he will kr-.w that he

“Somewhat. But what I w-t:

“Not so very.”
