YOU AND I A DAILY COLUMN GIVEN TO CURRENT EVENTS AND FRANK COMMENTS Tf 4m; i pi ■ACCORDING to Prof. E. N. Me- • Collum of Johns-Hopkjns Uni versity, the average American should eat about half as much meat as he does if lie would live to airipe old a ?? and keep his pep. Moie greens and milk are the substitutes recom mended. The professor speaks as a health expert, and if his advice were herded, |dhere isn’t a bit of doubt that the doctors and undertaken would have a lot less to do. The dinner table is a far deadlier place than the battlefield because the vast majority of people cannot resist the temptation to eat too much of which appeals to their taste. This is particularly true during hot weather, when, if one is as interested as he should be in keping his body and mind in top condition, he should eat sparingly of the heavy concen trated foods. And above all, during hot weather, forget the alcohol and drink plenty of cool, not iced,.water. Drink it with your meals slowly, and between your meals. Start your day with a glassful and finish your day the same way. The following of these simple rules will pay big cash health dividens and greatly Improve your disposition. * l "' *: -feU PUBLI SHED IN THE AMERICUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 7, 1921- R WEEKHH ill EDITION PRICE CRISP AND COLLEAGUES DENOUNCE G. 0.

Sumter'county’s biggest peach crop in its history, about 115 carloads, it being wound up this week with ship ments the heaviest of the season. The movement of Elbertas, the last shipping' peach, has been in full swing druing'the week, and the last of the Georgia Belles moved out the first of the week. The final ship ments of Elbertas, a very few cars, will go out early next week. Taken ns a whole, the season has been the most successful and most successful and most profitable the county has ever known. While some peaches brought low prices early in the season, because of poor market ing, low quality or unfortunate ship ment, many of them have brought fancy prices, topping tpe market reg ularly. The average net price re ceived for the entire crop of th« county is estimated by peach men at probably $705 per car. On a basis of 115 cars, this means that the scs son ts bringing into Sumter count; EVERYBODY HAPPY for peaches alone $80,000, large pan of which is being distributed in wug- DISARMAMENT , ' A high Japanese "official visiting 1 this country says that the people of Japan, following the grtat war, have become very much interested in for eign affairs. He sdds thst Japan has reached a point where foselgn poli cies must be based upon public opin ion. At about tho time he was mnk ing these statements the National Chamber of Commerce of Japan, meeting at Tokio, was demanding by resolution that the Japanese govern ment "should reach aQ agreement with tho other powers regarding dis armament.” These Japanese busi ness men representing a large section of public opinion also demanded that the government reduce appropria tions devoted to preparations, for war, “which are arousing the suspi cions of other nations and endanger ing Japan’s future.’’ If it is true that Japan has reached the points where public opinion con trols her foreign policy and the most powerful section of that public opin ion i3 demanding disarmament agree ments and reduced military expendi tures, it is news of dhe greatest in terest and importance. The biggest stumbling block in the wsy of working out disarmament program great powers is fesr'and suspicion of Japan. This Is sspeclsily true in re spect of America’s participation in such a program. Given the assurance that the peo ple and government of Japan arc sincerely desirous of doing their part toward getting the world on a sane armament basis, a long step will have been taken toward the goal.

Coun cil. The Council peaches are mov ing this week at the rate of 3 to 4 care per day, and for the season will total between 35 and 40 cars. They are not only the finest peaches being shipped out of Sumter county, ac- Ing to peach men, but are the superior of any being handled out of the Marshallville and-Fort Valley sections.' -They are magnificent peaches in size, color, condition and shipping quality. As a result, they have been topping the market reg ularly, some of then as $3.60 per crate or u ,„„ f ,,- 700 per car gross, tho highest price paid this season for Sumter county peaches in car lots. As a result, some of the Council peaches have netted more than $1,200 per car, a figure far surpassing the returns'received by other growea. The fact that one- third of the total shipments from this county is being made by the Coun cil orchard, which ia receiving top prices, brings the.average for the county to the excellent net figure named, probably $700 per car. “Mr. Council simply knows the peach business,” said a local grower who has been less successful this season. “He has kept his orchard in perfect condition, has successfully controlled insect pests, and is pro ducing the finest fruit grown in South Georgia. He knows how to market It, tod, and is reaping the reward for the combination." McNeill Finishes.. All the peach shipments from this county since early in the season have been handled by the Central of Geor gia, which estimates the entire busi ness from this county for the season over its line at 90 care. The Sea board has handled 25 cars. Shipments over the Central for the . j- Previous two weeks and this week practicable including Wednesday totalled 4* among tho can. Of these Council Brothers handled 20; Eeasterlin Brothers, An- dersonvllle, 10; R. D. McNeill, Arles Station, 10, and Methvin Fruit Farms 2. The total shipments for tbit week are estimated at from 20 to 29 cars, and for next week 4 to 0 cart. Mr. McNeill finished hit ihipmentt for the season witV. a single car from Arles Station Wednesday.

The plant, which was enlarged two years ago to take care of the increasing demand of new orchards coming into bearing, with a large storage capaci ty, has been amply able to meet,the demand at ,11 times, at the same time providing for the local retail ice trade without curtailment.
