TUESDAY AFTERNOON. OCTOBER 13, 1925 Auiu Legion Head's One ‘Weakness’ Is Apple Pie HARD BOILED IN ARMY BUT WIFE BOSSES New Commander of American Legion Has “Always Lived a Military Life” CLEVELAND, 0., Oct. 13—G Gen, John R. McQuigg the new na tional commander of the American Legion, and known as a “hard-boil ed” veteran of the World War is, far from being a commander in his own home. It seems that the great “weak ness” of McQuigg is his fondness for apple pie. Nearly every day his lunch consists of apple pie, and it is the dessert for every, dinner he eats away from home. But at home everything is dif ferent. ONLY ONCE A DAY Mrs. McQuigg insists that no man should eat pie more than once a day She “commands” there, so despite all the new commander’s entreaties pie is rarely served at McQuigg home. “I know my husband eats pie nearly every day for lunch whether I had it for dinner or not. so I make sure that he doesn’t get itat hi me,” says Mrs. McQuigg. “Pie more than once a day is good for no man.’ Twice Mrs. McQuigg has waited for her husband to come home from war, for he has always loved the military life. During the Spanish-American War he was the a captain of the Tenth Ohio volunteer infantry. Up on his return he organized the 112th Engineers and when the World War broke out he went to France with them as a colonel, la ter being made a brigadier general of the Thirty-seventh division. “He has lived a military life al ways,” says Mrs. McQuigg. "It is his only hobby. STUDIES MILTARY TACTICS “When he isn’t at work in the of fice, he spends mu»h of his time keeping up with the new deas in military tactics. “Everything he goes into he goes after like it was to be 4hc last thing he would do on earth. I have of ten told him that if he would in dulge in golf and other sports that men like he would stay with them until he had completely mastered them.” Ever since the war he has taken an interest in the affairs of the ex service men. He was largely re sponsible for the Ohio bonus, and his great ambition now is to in crease the legion membership. During the war he was a grea. favorite of the enlisted men. McQuigg is a banker here. In a few more years the only way you will be able to see the country is by peeping over a bill board. Six were injured in Chicago when an auto driver thought a girl looked more interesting than the road. SALARY INCREASE COMES WITH PROMOTION CHICAGO, Sept. 28. —After_a ca-eful survev of the situation extending from Oxiive boy to president, indications are that positions showing increases w sal aries require experienced help. Consulting the president of one of our largest industries, the writ er inquired regarding the rapid success of a certain young man who had become general manager, and who a few years ago was but office bov his answer was, Brown start ed'as office boy, the lowest salaried position in our office, he was am bitious and managed to purchase a typewriter on small monthly pay ments and after three weeks of practice at home he was promoted to bill clerk, which position gave him knowledge of the selling pnee of all merchandise. His next ad vance was that of typist, which, taught him the numerous forms of letter-writing and enabled him to hold a stenographic position giv ing him complete knowledge of let ter-writing. He was then made sec retary, bringing him into contact with all business details and quali fied him for the general manager s office at ten thousand per year. The same opportunity awaits ev ery young man and woman, hduca tion or age have nothing to do with operating so simphe a machine as the type writer. We are informed tnat a great piece of benevolent work is being carried on by a large Chicago mail order house in fur nishing typewriters to people wor thy of credit, by selling on small monthly installments, so low as to average about eight cents per day and actually teaching the; custom ers how to use and operate any tpe writer in about three weeks’ time.

BOLL WEEVIL FIGHT BEGINS County Agent Cliett Issues Statement to Sumter Coun ty Farmers Farmers of Sumter County are being advised to begin in their fight on the boll weevil. County Agent H. A. Cliett, a visitor to the Times- Recorder office today, has prepared a statement to the farmers of Sum ter County. His statement is as follows: “It is very gratifying to find that a good many farmers are destroy-1 ling their cotton stalks, while there! iis not as much interest being taken lin this important work as should be. 'inspections i nmost every section of the county last week indicated that boll weevils are hatching out in this late crop by the thousands. Young cotton bolls when cut open showed from 75 to 80 per cent in festation. Don’t be deceived about this late cotton you are counting on —the weevils will get the greater part of it. It appears that the weevils prefer the young bolls to the young squares this time of the year. Have 100 young bolls pulled off your cot ton, cut the mopen and keep count of the bolls in which one or more locks are found damaged by the boll. weevil. See if there is going to be any left to pay for the gathering. You do not want to keep a winter rsort for boll weevils. The late hatched weevils are the ones that go through the winter. Shut off; the sap in the plant and the weevils wil Idie. Be fair to yourself and to your neighbor—destroy those stalks as quickly as you can.” I H. F. Bunch Relieved Os 8 Years Os Misery, “Why, This Karnak Has Made A Well Man Os Me And Put Back The Feeling Os Young er Days,” Says Well Known Augusta Citizen. Such statements as the follow ing from W. F. Bunch, of 969 Broad St., Augusta, Ga., who declares that Karnak has rid him of years of stomach misery and brought him back that feeling of younger days, is but typical of the enthusiastic praise being accorded this great health builder on all sides. ‘‘Yes sir, from my own experi ence with Karnak I would pro nounce it without a doubt the great est medicine there ever was,” de clares Mr. Bunch. “I know it beats anything I ever heard of in all the seventy years of my life. ‘‘The past eight years I have suf fered with indigestion and consti pation, and the last year cr so I have been in an especially weak, run down condition. What I ate seem ed to hurt me instead of give me any strength, and my rest didn’t seem to do me any good.' Morn ings I would get up with a terrible bad taste in my mouth and feeling as tired as when I went to bed. ‘‘My joints just ached all in my arms and legs, and many times 1 felt so weak I could hardly put one foot before the other.

I tell you I sure thank my lucky stars that I did for every dorp of this medicine has been worth its weight in gold to me. “Why, the very first bottle, in fact, even the first day's treatment, showed me I had at last found just what I needed. When I had finish ed my first bottle of Karnak the soreness had left my joints and I had begun to feel hungry and could eat without any ill convencience afterward. It Just knocked the constipation out of me in no time. “I have taken two bottles now and can do a day’s work and come home feeling fresher than I used to before I even started the day. My whole system seems to be function ing properly, and Karnak has just put back that feeling of younger days in me. It’s certainly a won derful medicine, and I’m more than glad to recommend it to everybody.” Karnak is sold in Americus by Planters Seed and Drug Store, Howell’s Pharmacy and leading druggists everywhere.— (adv.)

KLAN DRAGON IS ON TRIAL Stephenson to Claim Suicide of Girls in Answer to Charge of Killing Girl Last March NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Oct. 13. Defense of D. C. Stephenson, for mer grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana, and two others with murder in connection with the loath of Madge Oberholtz er, of Indianapolis, last March, will probably be based on the theory that the girl committed suicide. This was indicated in examination of prospective jurors. Earl Klinck and Earl Gentry per sonal guards of Stephenson during his regime as a klan leader, are the other defendants. Thirty-one klanesmen were ex amined during the D/A day of the case, four being excused on chal lenges for cause by the state and 12 for the same reason by the defense. Not a man had been accepted tem porarily by both sides when court adjourned. Nine of the panel passed tem porarily by the state, which exam ined first, were fathers of one or more girls. The sex of the children was stressed. Defense counsel pro ceeded cautiously, being especially interested in whether the prospec tive jurors belonged to any lodge or order that might influence them in giving a verdict. Each replied in the negative. MORE DEATHS FROM SMALLPOX NEW YORK City, Oct. 13. With twice as many cases recorded for the first six months of 1925 the type of smallpox privalent in Amer ican and Canadian cities in this pe riod was nearly four times as dead ly as that which prevailed during 1923, acording to figures compiled by the Statistical Division of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com-! ipany. This year there were record led 3.5 deaths for each 100 small pox cases. The rate last year was 1.5 deaths per 100 cases. In sounding the warning against this disease the Statistical Bulletin issued by the Metropolitan says: “The smallpox menace is real; the experience this year shows that the disease is present all over the Unit ed States in a death-dealing form.
