The football game scheduled to
have been played by the Americus

team in Moultrie this afternoon was
called off Thursday after the

that the local association was jiot in

the grid warriors looked as if they
had iust emerged from Flanders’
trenches.

HIGHWAY OFFICIALS *
HRGE iRE ROADS
ST. PAUL, November 30.—(8y
Associated Press) —Increased Fed
eral appropriations for highway aid i
will be advocated at the conven
tion of the American Association
of State Highway officials at New
Orleans, December 3-6, ‘‘for the
mutual profit of more than 13,000,-
0000 American motorists and all
the states,” according to Charles
M. Babcock, Minnesota commission
er highways and former president >
of the organization. This feature ■
of the meeting will be the particu- I
lar business of Mr. Babcock.
Discussions of good roads plans,!
policies add progress by the asso- i
ciaticn will make up the major part i
of the program. Delegations from
nearly all , states -in this country
and trom several Canadian pro
vinces and European countries are
expected to be in attendance.
“The tax on automobiles now
takes 5 cents of every dollar paid
lor new automobiles, tires and ac- ‘
cessories and 3 cents of the new
truck. purchase dollar,” said Mr.
Babcock. ’‘This revenue since 1917
has totalled $589,012,021, against
$264,782,216 of federal highway
! aid appropriations during the same
i period? The Government is there-
I fore using less than half the amoiffit
i collected directly as taxes from
j highway users in the manner to
I give them the most direct bene-
l fits.
/‘Besides these Federal taxes, auto
I owners are paying county, town
ship and city taxes, wheclage taxes,
gasoline taxes and other levies on
' their ears.
“The most constructive'policy <ie -
mands increase ! i Federal high
way aid appropriations, and cer
tainly in sums closely matching
Federal income from the automo
tive source. Any other puts our
Government in the position of re
tarding highway development,
standing in the way of the ear and
truck owner who would advance
the good roads program along the
most sound economic lines.”
IS GREEN NO MORE
“My experience with your medi
cine has been wonderful. My stom
ach and liver trouble of five years
i standing took a new turn two years
lago when 1 took on an olive green
| complexion. I spent $1,200 with
(doctors and specialists only to prove
I that 1 was as green as ever. A
friend advised me to take Mayr’s
Wonderful’Remedy and I am green
no more. My stomach and liver
trouble has all disappeared.” It
is a simple, harmless preparation
that removes the catarrhal musuc.

Jhe inflammation which causes prac-
Iticily all v stomach, liver and intesti
nal ailments, including appendicitis.

ders from all parts of the country,

Tom-cat, dye it the required cojor

ft'ould also sell guinea hens as pea

“In New Jersey a man has a per
petual motion machine in which he
has been trying to get the world in
i leresteu lor a number of years. Bui
i so far only a few have bitten.
| "Land propositions have an at
i tractive lure to investors \ and poor
| lamilies planning on a home. Mor
i ida, Oklahoma and Alabama seem j
j to be favorite grounds for f; auti
I in this line.
“But in Ohio land schemes of
smallei proportion have proved at
tractive bait. There,- ‘iree lot,
lake mortgages and fraudulent dis
counting propositions have ekeu <
their toll.
“Tire se-lii ines go well in Indiana,
while mining stock has a peculiai
, lure when coining from Arizona,
New Mexico and Nevada.
“But it is the thing that is in
the popular eye that lends itsell
for the easiest exploitation. The
movies, radio, automobiles, have i.i
bec-i worked for considerable prof
it to the faker.
"But oil, ol course, has had the
biggest lure.
“True South had been compara
-0 tively free of fake operations lor
a long time. When Dr. Cook and
his associates began their work
;1 they found a ready market It has
teen estimated that some 500 per- j
.. sons were actively engaged in their j
. oil . promoti<£i business in Fort |
. Worth alone and that 10,000 per- I
, sens in that city were depending
upon them for their living.
t - “But Editor Siler, in the face.
. of a ndllion-dollar libel suit lent hi ;
' assistcnce to the es
-1 ficient work of the federal post
, office in..pcotors, thus piercing the
, boom. As e- ?sult of the investiga
tions which were started, sentences
•extremely heavily in such cases,
have teen doled out to Cook, his co
. workers and a score or more >f
other culprits.
. “But these convictions won’t take
. the sting of other fraudulent
( deals now being concocted by the
, master minds of fake promotion.
, "Government prosecutions arid
heavy sentences alcne won’t stay
. the flood. It's up to the individual
investor himself and the newspa-
' pers to keep up their work in show- g
ing the public how the faker on- I
erates.
"Among the newest schemes that
, are being arranged are the sale of
fig orchards in the south, silver
fox-farms, free lots, salt mines,
train controls, automobiles that run
on air, fake development and mort
gage companies, mining companies
and movie schemes.
‘‘The promoters of such schemes
will undoubtedly go to the men and
women, some of them poor, who
have bitten before. The only way
they can be protected against ti e
lure of the beautifully painted
proposition is to remember: ‘
“Before you invest-S-Investigate.”
