THE AMERICUS TIMESRtlCORDER. Known as ‘Best by Test’ MACON SINCE 1890 NOTICE TO WHEAT RAISERS! LIFE AND TflAINING IN NAVY 111 ATTMCTO FIELD FOB THE YOUNG MEN OF TODAY Fathers and mothers, there Is better school for your boy than the United States navy. His mental, moral, physical, and spiritual train ing Is constantly looked after. This statement Is literally true, but the truth Is realized by but few.
