I therefore so run, not as uncer tainly; so fight I not as one that Leateth the air: but 1 keep under my body, and bring it into subjec tion.—l Corinthians 9:26-7. 1 will strive to raise my own body and soul daily into ail the higher powers of duty and happiness, not in rivalship or contention with others, but for the help, delight and honor of others and for the peace and joy of my own life.—John Ruskin. EDITORIAL MADE-IN-GEORGIA WEEK. T’HE opening gun of a campaign, formulated by leading women of Georgia, is being fired today in Moultrie. This is a campaign to which the Times-Recorder will hearti ly lend its approval and aid, much as it has been calloused to canjpaigns and drives in general. The campaign being launced today is a movement to awaken Georgia people to the im portance to themselves and their state of using (Georgia-made pro ducts. To day the program is being outlined before the Second district meeting of the State Federation of Women’s clubs by Mrs. J. E. Hays, of Montezuma, state president, and Mrs. Newton C. Wing, of Atlanta, state chairman of the Georgia pro ducts committee. By special proclamation of Gover nor Hardwick issued at the re quest of the state federation, the week of May 22-29 has been set apart and designated “Made-in-Georgia Week.” Appeal is made by the gov ernor to all the people of the state, producers and consumers, farmers and manufacturers, merchants and bankers—everybody in Georgia— during that week, to buy Georgia pro ducts, use Georgia products, study Georgia products, think Georgia pro ducts, to the end that the annual stream of gold approximating SIOO,- 000,000, now flowing to other states to buy food and manufactured ar ticles that could be grown and made more economically at home, shall b turned back to stimulate production and increase manufactures in Geor gia. Supplementing his official procla mation Governor Hardwick- said "Capital that climbs high into the millions that could be profitably and economically utilized to build and de velop factories to convert our raw materials into avaiable form for Georgia consumers, is being expend ed annually in freight charges, which the ultimate consumer pays, and which represents a dead eco nomic loss to the permanent -wealth of the state. This huge loss to Geor gia from year to year must be checked. . "It is most fitting that the wo men of Georgia should assume the chief burden of analyzing this tre mendously important economic ques tion and of finding the answer for themselves and for the people of the state. For the women do the shopping: they do ninety-per cent of the buying. "I shall bring every resource at my command to aid the women of Georgia in making the observance and celebration of this week of such impressive character as will bring producer, manufacturer, and consum er into honest co-operative study, one with the other, of this great question, so that there may be founded upon the solid basis of truth and fact, the beginning of a real and ever-grow ing interest on the part of all Geor gians to buy and use Georgia pro ducts.” “This is the first time this thing has been taken up from the consum ers’ standpoint,” said Mrs. Wing. "We are entering upon this cam paign, -not as a flash-in the pan idea to be dropped at its close but are taking up a study with producers and manufacturers that may be solved to the advantage of us all. "We are approaching this big prob lem with a question mark at every step, and these are some of the ques tions: **What are we not buying at home?” Is it quantity production we need in order to make assemb ling and standardizing and packing and transportation cheap enough in comparison with similar charges on commodities raised eleswhere, to force Georgia manufacturers of Georgia grown commodities on the market strictly on their 'merits, briefly on economic grounds. “Is it co-operative producers’ or Advehture-s It 11 K-fJ Of=- THE TWINS Mfc- wBI ODv RoL—rfcr Berko THE SQUE EDILLUMS Z al "We are the Squeedillums,” sa id the tiny person—“at your service” iT DID seem as though Nancy and Nick were never to get over the Seven Mountains. They hadn’t gone over half of them, yet and here they were with another difficulty before them. Some one had stolen the lost record from its hiding place. Without it, it was of no use to continue their jburney toward the Princess Therma’s palace. No, it wasn’t Twelve Toes, the Sorcerer, who had taken it. He was not allowed to follow them. Besides, after finding that the terrible dreams he had sent to the Twins had come to nothing, he was so disgusted that he flew back to his cave and changed himself from a bat into a dragon again. And there he sulked and sulked. 1 hope he enjoyed himself doing it. Nick and Nancy stood looking and looking at the hollow place in the ground where the record had been, trying to make up their minds what to do next, when Nancy happened to kick a stone with her toe. As it rolled away she saw a round hole. OLD DAYS IN AMERICUS TEN YEARS AGO TODAY. (From the Times-Recorder March 30, 1912.) A ARON Cohen o nyesterday pick ** ed up a bonanza at the “old hoss” sale of the Seaboard. When he opened a box marked pasteboard boxes, which he secured for $4, it was found to contain hundreds of dollars worth of Rogers’ silevrware. Judge Z. A. Littlejohn and mem bers of the Americus bar will go to Preston tomorrow to attend the ses sion of Webster county court which convenes Monday. B. S.

Americus Masons will spread a banquet Monday evening at a meet ing of the conclave, at which Grand Commander E. A. Cutts, of the Grand Lodge of Georgia, will be present. The construction force of the Brunswick and Birmingham railway ! s working out of Cordele on the road which was secured by Monte zuma ertizens raising the necessary manufacturers organizations, or a system of warehouses, that is need- ' ed? It is the establishment of cer tain labels or trademarks or brands, I to enable the Georgia consumers to I know the Georgia products from the imported article? “Is it superior quality, greater es- ■ ficiency, lower cost of the imported is against the Georgia product? Is ' it lack of advertising or lack of will- ! ingness on the part of the Georgia I producer or manufacturer to meet competition? “Is it the lack of proper interest on the part of Georgia retailers and wholesalers to add millions to the i consumers purchasing power, by en- i deavoring to purchase everything ! they can in Georgia? “Or, is it that Georgia consumers, 1 through lack of information, through j lack of state pride and co-operation, 1 hrough indifference to the loss of he millions, which, in the last analy sis, comes from their own pockets, have not sufficient interest to remedy these conditions?” Turner Electric Co.

Crookabone or Jigabump, or Snip Scissors has come and stolen it just for meanness!” Scarcely had she finished speaking when a tiny creature came out fol lowed by a dozen others. The crea ture wasn’t a bug or a bettie or a fly, for he wore the finest clothes, being dressed in scarlet satin with a large neck ruff and a high pointed hat. The others following were quite as elegant. “Good-night, friends,” he called to those behind him. “We’ve stayed later than usual. The sun’s quite up. But no wonder! With such a fine new dance floor! I’d certainly like to know what kind person left it here for use.” Suddenly he spied the Twins. “My, my, whom have we here?” he asked in a condescending voice. “Nancy and Nick,” said Nancy. “And who are you?’" “We are the Squeedillums,” said the tiny person. “At your service.” (To be continued.) SIO,OOO to have the road come that way. Many pecan trees are being plant ed by Americus people in their home lots, and in a short time the city will be not only fruitful but beautiful.
