' DAILY POEM WHO’S WHO— Maybe you’re not in the “Who’s Who” book, and it’s likely you never will be. That fact is so sure that it’s useless to look ’cause your name is not one you will see. And why should you care if you’- ve been overlooked? Why crave with the noted to sit? It means very little what people are booked ’cause “Who’s Who” cannot change them a bit. If you can just treat all your fel low men right and play every game ion the square, you’re just as well off, by a heck of a sight, so, honest ly, W’hy should you care? The smile you keep forward will build up your friends and make you amount to a heap. The Who that are you reaaly reatly depends on the sort of a spirit you keep. We all feel right proud of the fellow with pep, and the man who is open and true, who plugs right along till he gathers a reOlfcchough he never appears in “Who* Who.” About the only safe bet on ahy election is that one side will be mad about the results.

FORMOSAN GIRLS FORM DEATH PACT TAIHOKU, Formosa, May 27. — A suicide pact among four young girls of one of the aboriginal For mosan tribes in the interior of this island, resulting in the death of tv o of the covenanters, has brought td light an anvasion of modern ideas even into that fastnesss of savage life. The four girls, between 15 and 18 years old, all had had modern education in schools established by the Japanese. They had heard some thing about the right of women to decide for themselves in regard to marriage, an entirely new idea in the community in which they were reared. When the parents of one tried to force her into an unwel come marriage, the four agreed to die together. They tried hanging. Two succeeded, but the trees se lected by the others broke under lheir weight and they lived. STREET VENDERS ARE BARRED FROM SCHOOLS ATHENS, May 27.—Without op position from anyone on the grounds that “it deprives personal liberty and will make lunch bootleggers” the board of education here voted to prohibit children from buying lundhes at school or from street venders while in school hours that do not conform to a menu prepared by the Health Educationalist of the public schools. The vote was unan imous. This means that ‘hot dogs,” hamburger sandwiches and clammy rolls or other indigestible food must g 0 so far as school children are concerned. Os course they can bring a lunch to school if they want to, but lunches served by the school must conform to the rules,and those bought during school hours musst als 0 do sb. xS, A-..

(MIL TO SPEND !1W» IN TESTS Soil Reintegration Plats Will Be Established Along Line of Railway SAVANNAH, May 27.—An ap propriation of SIO,OOO to encourage soil redinttegration has been auth orized by President L. A. Downs of the Central of Georgia Railway. The Railway company will spend $125, in each of the eighty coun ties it serves, t 0 prove that soil waste may be checked and soil fe-- tilty increased. Why prove a fact so well known? Because knowing is not doing. Much has been learned about doing in the past few years, and there is a need for proving that a combina tion of methods both old and new will get results. Increased crop yields, due to increased plant food obtained at a cost which will show a good profit, is the result desired, Proving that this may be done, calls for the adoption of unfamiliar methods, and a larger expenditure than many farmers feel justified in attempting, until they have actual ly seen the increased crops. There fore the Management of the Cen tral of Georgia believes the railroad company can afford to pay half the cost of the needed expenditure to establish in each of the counties it serves in Alabama and Georgia, a soil redintegration test plot, to be farmed according to methods pre scribed by the State Agricultural Colleges. Soil building, soil redintegration, or whatever it may be called, is not a problem of the Southeast alone. Agricultural authorities everywhere are giving it the most careful study The Southeast has a wonderful growing climate, lots of sun, and plenty of rain. Consequently we have rapid plant growth, and equal ly rapid exhaustion of soil fertility. The South’s main crop leaves ve-y little on the land to go back to the soil. Clean cultivation of cotton helps the sun and raid to evaporate and leach out plant food. But our conditions that favor soil depletion, also favor the rapid growth of plants that will restore nitrogen and humus to the soil. Soil Redintegration is te whole process of preserving, restoring, and increasing the fertility and produc tiveness of ou soil. The Central of Georgia Ralway wants to co-operate with men who are willing to take the lead in the practice of this 1 pro cess, for the benefit of their neigh bors ag well as themselves.

THF AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER * EX-KING, HOMESICK, SLIPS INTO COUNTRY Exiled Former Monarch Not Plotting Against Republic, But Longs to Return Home LISBON, May 27.—1 f a story that is being whispered among royal ists and scowled at by republicans is true, Dorn Manuel of Braganza, ex-king of Portugal, recently brok. his exile and paid a clandestine visit to his favorite old country place ot Villa Vicosa. Manuel was exiled when the republic was declared in 1010 and forbidden to reenter the country. His brief return, however, was not to conspire against the republic, but was impelled by an irresistible home-sickness, according to reports, to revisit the scenes of his happy youth in this beautiful palace and park. While there he is said to have re ceived two personal friends and to have made close inquiries as to the administration of the Braganza estates. GERMAN WOMEN ARE TECHNICAL STUDENTS HEIDELBERG, May 27.—The number of women students in the German universities has more than doubled in the last ten years. Recent statistics show that in 1914 there were 4,100 women students, while today there are 9,531. Medicine, jurisprudence and studies designed to fit the students to become teachers are the Pnost popular classes, notwithstanding the fact that these professions already are very much over-crowded. German women this jear have taken a greater interest in agri cultural subjects than at any other time, and all of the universities re port enlarged classes also in archi tecture engineering and other tech nical studies.

Brantley, present of the Geor gia Federation of Women’s Clubs, today issued a message to the’dele gates. of the national convention to .to be held in Los Angeles, Cal. The Message said: “The credential cards for dele gates at large were delayed, but have all been sent by special de livery to delegates in ample time to reach tht'm this past week. “Mrs. Judd wires she will deliver the badges on the train between Atlanta and Dalton. Everything ap pears to be in order for delegates to have an enjoyable and profitable trip to the Biennial. “Delegates, please remember that in the absence of the President the Georgia delegation is headed by Mrs. S- M. Inman, who will be at. the Biltmore hotel, Los Angeles. Mrs. Inman, in her official capacity, will render assistance should nec essity arise. “I shall be with you in thought all the way and wish you the Godspeed ■on your journey and shall watch with interest your part in the delib erations of the conventions.” It must be awful to be a candi date and have to travel about the country telling everybody “I have just begun to fight.” A small town is a place where they can remember how many husbands every woman has buried. Wkat 'A is AorA! ' J Now? ffl < As— Every mother knows the nameless dread that comes whenever the little one turns up feverish, listless and with out appetite. Always the same anxiety, the fearful question—is it going to be scarlet fe ver, diphtheria or some other danger ous. contagious disease? Every mother knows that a laxative is the first thing required, but too often the ordinary laxative fails to do a thor ough job because it has not sufficient action on the liver. Liv-o-lax meets the need because, be sides cleansing the stomach and bow els, it clears out congested liver and so brings quicker relief. Children love to take Liv-o-lax be cause it tastes good and does good. It is made only of pure vegetable in gredients, is not at all drastic and causes no distress. You can get Liv-o-lax, 30c, at your favorite drug store. 11 AW* A hundred eyes “He who buys had need have a hun dred eyes,” said Poor Richard. I ■ That was quite true in his time. When ever you needed anything, you had to go to this store—then to that store —across the street —to every place that carried the thing you needed. If you missed any one of them, you might be overlooking the very place that held the bargain you sought. Not so to-day. Your own two eyes are plenty now. For every day this newspa per brings right into your home all the stores you would want to visit and the goods in which you are interested. Com fortably seated in your armchair, you simply take your paper and read through the advertisements. So, later, when you do go out to buy, you know exactly where you are going. You know just what you are going to get. You know just ho\v much you are going to pay. Read the advertisements. They deserve your attention. They save you time, la bor and money. It is to your advantage to read them. , ( « ** * . . f u/ Mr. Merchant:—There are 2500 families in this trading territory who scan these pages every day, reading the news and the advertisements. If you fail to get your share of what they are spending, the fault is all yours. Remember, this fact: You may have stop ped YOUR advertising, but the Mail Or der Houses never stop. Day and night, in good times and in bad, they are always enternally on the job. A farmer who was carrying an express | package from a city mail order house was accosted by a local merchant with the words: “Why didn’t you buy that bill of goods from me?” he asked. “I could have | saved you the express and besides you p would have been patronizing a home store, ( l which helps to pay the taxes and build up this community.” | I With characteristic frankness the farmer replied. “Why don’t you patronize your home paper and advertise your goods? I read it and didn’t know you have the goods I have here nor do I see your name , in the paper inviting me to come to your store.” « It is the best interest of the community for our business men to realize that a sign out on the highway cannot be brought to the home of a customer for him to read. Nor does a sign over the door bring cus tomers into the stre. I > . ¥¥ ¥ I ’’ k —:. * Advertising Creates a De sire to Buy---I hat's' the First Step Towards A Sale PAGE SEVEN
