Gone, Lost 2 Fingers in France ON ALLIED LOANS
K A local Woman’s Christian Tom-
1 perancc Union was formed here
..Thursday night. when Mrs. Mary
. Harris Armor lectured to a represent
ative gathering at 4 o’clock. The
j “Georgia Cyclone’’ was not d:sap-
- pointing, for she cut wide swaths
. through her audience, by the force-
fulness of her language hurled at
those who still remain passive during
an era of prohibition which does not
altogether prohibit, a* Mrs. Armor
laid.
Mrs. Armor told of the need of a
V Woman’s Christian Temperance Un
ion in Americus, as well as in other
cities, because of the fact that much
good can he and is being accom
plished through the determined ef
fort of women in the right dircciton.
Mrs. Armor spoke of the coming re-
sponsibility of women in the suffrage
movement, when women will have
the right to vote in municipal mat
ters, and then is the time, she said,
that affairs will feel the iron hand
of women who will vote from
dentiousness for the right man
right place.
She also spoke of the welfare
movement connected with the work
of a temperance union. Not here in
Americus, she said, was the need
perhaps, of a movement of the kind,
hot in other larger cities, where chil
dren arc left days alone without th
guidance A a mother, the welfare
movement becomes a factor for great
good among the children. In many
places, she said, young boys who had
I^.Dten sentenced to the penitentiary,
Declaring that he was never satis
fied during the whole of the four
years he enjoyed freedom following
his escape .from the Sumter county
chaingang, Ivah Kaylor, who return
ed home and surrendered himself n
few days ago, told a newspaper man
today that he started back to Georgia
to finish serving his sentence as soon
as he learned from a letter from his
wife that they ‘‘had a good man in
• barge of the prisoners here.”
While away Kaylor had many re
markable experiences, his travels car
rying him from Georgia to North
Carolina, where he went immediately
following his escape, and remained
some time at the home of his father.
From North ‘Carolina he went to
Tennessee, and from there he went
to Sharon Springs, Kansas. He work
ed in the railroad shops there for a
time, and jater traveled through Kan
sas, Wyoming and Oregon. At Ba
ker. Oregon, he found a number of
relatives with whom he lived.
Early in the war, he volunteered
for army service at Salt Lake City,
but was rejected for a physical dis
ability. Eater he was drafted
Ottunnva, Iowa, and sent to France,
where he saw four months of active
service. In the heavy fighting when
Pershing annihilated the St. Mihiel
salient, Kaylor had two fingers shot
off his right hand, this disability re
sulting in his being discharged.
The fact that he served under an
assumed name has prevented his se
curing any compensation for his in
jury, and it is uncertain whether or
not his claims will ever he recognized
by the federal authorities.
His wife and two children, who re
side near Americus, vsiit him fre
quently. and have expressed much
satisfaction because of his decision
to surrender and serve out Ids sen
tence, he having done so, he says, on
advice and that of his parents in
North Carolina.
been released from jail and
signed to a reform school instead,
...ill order that they might learn the
lessons of citizenship which had been
denied in their street hemes. This,
she Mid. was the work of the temper
ance union.
. Again, Hid Mrs. Armor, the object
of the union shall be to educate pub
lie sentiment to the standard of total
Abstinence, to train the young in
the.way of sobriety so that they shall
never know the use of intoxicants, to
reform those who have been already
overcome by inebriety and to secure
.otfe enforcement of the present pro
hibition law. This, she Hid, was a big
work, worthy of the undertaking of
, women, and to be undertaken by
I them alone. Not to the fathers of
thb country shall we look, she Hid,
but-to mothers who from infancy
have the training, of children, and
whoso influence Is felt in other
‘Maiiy have asked the question, con
Jnhed Mrs. Armor, why in days of
of supposed prohibition, docs not the
Woman’s Temperance Union disband
aird go lbto other fields. She answer.
HH this query by a volley of reasons
for the continuance of the organiza-
"tion for many years to come in so
-convincing a mannkr that many wo
men voluntarily offered their assist

At tha conclusion of her addrea

union here and a continued activity
therein.

The church convention at Raleigh farm family throughout the year.
The boll weevil problem is of
small importance to T. .1. DeVane,
who operates a 488-acro farm six
miles from this city in Shiloh com
munity. Last year Mr. DeVane
raised only four bales of cotton on
his entire farm, none of which have
yet been marketed, but he raised
immenro quantity of corn, velvet
beans, peas, potatoes and other farm
prcduct3.
He markets his grain in the form
of meat, having a large number of
cattle and hogs grazing always
his broad acres. He utilizes every
by-product of the farm, killing his
meat himself and bringing tho car
casses to Americus, where these arc
sold to butchers at top prices, and
without the worry incident to ped
dling such products. Refuse parts
of beef and hog3 slaughtered are
used to enrich the soil.
He sells between $20 and $75
worth of hogs weekly in Americus,
besides living almost entirely on the
products of his farm*. Already this
year he has planted fifty-five acres in
oats, with a good stand secure, and
five acres of growing wheat, which

to locate a new Christian church col
lege, on which $100,000 is to be
spent by tho church, and offers of
sites and inducements were solicited
by this committee. Arrangements
were made by the Chamber of Com
merce to offer the committee a site
of 10 acres within the city limits, of
a larger tract just outside the city.
The church committee has made it
plain that it seeks a location of suit
able environment for young people,
jnsitsing on a moral town with a
splendid citizenship such as Amcrl-
cus offers.
One 100-acrc field on his place will
be planted later in corn and velvet
beans to be “ho&gcd off” in the fall
and marketed in the form of swine.

its presentation will he announced
later.
The boys’ basket ball team is mak

Negro Giddens Back
In Worth From Indiana
SYLVESTER, Feb. 15. — Mace
iddens, charged with (laying Depu
ty Sheriff W. P. Giddens, of Worth
county, captured at Crown Point,
Ind., and whose return to Georgia
was fought by counsel retiincd by
the negro population of the Indiana
city and which resulted in Governor
McCray sending an envoy to Worth
county to conduct an investigation,
arrived hero Monday and is now ir
ho Worth county jail awaiting trial.
Giddens contended that if he wa
brought back to Georgia and Worth
county that citizens of the latter
place would lynch him; that he would
not be given n fair and impartial
trial, and his plea attracted the at

CONDEMN HIGH
PRICED STOCK
FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says
Prices Charged Are Unwar-
(anted—Makes HU Own
Hog Food, With
Better Results
“That he is all through paying fan
cy prices for stock foods anil hog
remedies nnd that he is raising some
of the best hogs ever placed on the
market.” was the statement made re
rently by E. II. Beckstead, well
known hog raisr and authority on
live stock.
Mr. Beck stead’s hogs arc the envy
of his neighbors, and have “topped
the market” for several years in
Iowa. He states that for years he
bought high-priced hog foods and
log remedies, but he is all through
mying extravagant prices far what
ie can make himself. He states that
what the hogs need are minerals, and
!!s the secret of his wonderful Sue
s' by explaining that f he takes
about five pounds of ordinary mincr-
riine (which is pure concentrated
minerals and cost only a couple of
lollnrs) and mixes same with enough
!>rnn or filler to make a hundred
aound*. All hogs and especially
>rood saws, require minerals, as they
;ei p them free from worms, and in
the pink of condition, and arc essen
tial to the hogs’ growth and a well-
ilanccd ration. This inexpensive
ixture placed in a sheltered box
where the hogs can got at it as they
need it. will produce far better re-
ults than any high priced so-called
stock foods.
Send two dollars ta The Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1638 North Wells St.,
Chicago, III., and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post enough
mineraline to make a full hundred
pounds, _ a d v
