AUGUSTA NEEDS AN AUDITO
RIUM.
With Auguata getting more und
morn on tho world'll rnn 11 every <lny,
more nnil more grown t’ • • neod of an
auditorium for the handling of large
audienrea ami conventions for thla
city
One of the heat ways to advertlae
a city la to secure the larger and bet
ter clara of convention*. dual Im
agine any city or any person In the
United Staten not knowing or heaving
aoniethlng about Atlanta an a result
of the recent Shrine Convention In
that city.
Cue of the purposes tho Mer
ely nts and Manufacturer*' Aasocla
tlon of llila rlty under Ita re-organi/.a
tlon la to advertise Angola properly
anil adequately tc. the world - to bring
new people and new Industries to this
city
As a first step In this direction,
let's build a big auditorium to house
end to handle such convention* and
then let’s go after the conventions.
Augusta Is expecting big things of
the Merchant' and Manufacturer*’ As
sedation under Its re-organUatlon,
and we trust that Augusta is not go
ing to be disappointed. But big things
■re not achieved unless a high mark
Is set and big things striven for. If
the Merchants and Manufacturers'
Association Is too busy Itself with
little things to the exclusion of big
things. It means that big tilings ar*
rot gclng to be done by the Mer
ebants and Manufacturers' Assocla
tlon.
Let'a go after the auditorium and
get It.
AUOUBTA IS SURE SOME POLITI
CAL TOWN.
Great as Is the material growth and
progress of Augusta which Is attract,
lng the attention of the whole coun
try. yet tile fHd remains Augusta is
atlll sums political tewn.
It doesn't make much difference
what the occasion la—What the Is
sues involved—how big or how little
the office—how many or how few the
candidates—Just so there Is some pol
itics connected with It—*.id you are
sure to see the greatest amount of
activity and Interest among a very
large per centage of the stalwart clt-
Ixens of Augusta.
There ts an election scheduled lor
the near future—the Levee Bond Issue
—that ought to appeal to every voter
of the city, irrespective of factions
and personalities. It's a community
Issue. It means protection for every
Interest of Augusta, it means ths
continued growth and prosperity of
Augusts.
So why not let's capitalise and con
centrate the well-known political in
iere*i of thla community for an
overwhelming vote for the l^ves
Bond*
Remember that if yon stay at home
and fail to vote. >ou vote against the
bonds You must go to the poll* an ]

future from floods and high waters

HONING WITH THE RECORDER
Children's Number.
Onco upon a tim«* there w;ih a man
and h k wife who lived In the great for
est of Hamburg He w.ih a very good
iiiuti and ho that the Good Fairies were
kind to him und his wife and gave them
fourteen little children.
Noy every flay John, for that was the
in- n's mime, went out in the forest and
« hopped wood which he sold to the Great
Itaron who owned the forest, and on
Sat-ur-day night he crossed the bridge
in tothe h g city l>e\ond the river to buy
pro-vl-sloris for his f.mtly. And n<»
matter how much food lie luiMiglit home,
it w.m always gone before the next Sat
ur-duy night, so that every week he had
to buy more and more food und had to
work harder and harder, because the
Ktu-niucks of his little children were
growing large*- and larger. Ho that week
by week he became weaker and weaker.
Now, one day, John was eating his
dinriev In the forest, sitting on a log
very weary and tired, and wondering
how lie could feed Ids faintly any longer,
when all of a sudden the King of the
Had Fairies drove up In his chariot, lie
stopped behind a liUckle-beiry hush and
hid his gold crown and sent away in his
chariot, because he did not want John to
know who he was. So he quickly
changed himself into a Rabbit and step
ped out from behind the buckle-berry
Lush.
Then he eat up and looked at John
and nibbled a p-eee of grass und scratch
ed his eur with his left hind foot tor
luck.
And before John could reach his ax to
throw at him he vanished. Hut he had
sadl all that he wanted to say to John,
because Hud Fairies cun put Ideas Into
people's heads wtthou using any words.
And when the Rabbit had vanished
John sat there and began to think. He
said to hlmitelf.
"Why should I have to work and cut
wood all flay for my children when that
Kubhit can run uround in the woods all
day and do nothing lie has un-doubt
ed-ly got more children than l have."
So John finished his dinner und took
what wood ho had and sold It und did
not go home as usual but crossed the
liver Into the city to have a good t me
And there the Queen of the Hud Fairies
Along the Baseball Horizon at the Early
May Angle Giants and Athletics
Don f t Look So Good
Nsw York.—Gnxlng along the base
ball horlxon from this early May an
gle, one comes to the conclusion that
the Giants and Athletics are confront
ed with husky little job* In their ef
forts to repeat their ISIS pennant win
ning stunts.
The pro season dope made It look
n» If both clubs would have a com
paratively easy time of It. But the
dope was w rung. And it Isn't the fault
of the Athletics and Giant* themselves.
They are Just as good as they were
last year; perhaps a bit stronger tn
spots. The fault ts with the sudden
strength shown by the opposition.
The Yankees were a pte counter
proposition for the Athletics lust year.
Whenever they needed a few games
they engaged the Yankees tn combat.
They buttled tile Yankees on twenty
two occasions and won out In seven
teen The Atllletles won sixteen out
of the first seventeen games they
played against the Yankees last year
and cinched the pennant. After that
they presented the Yankee* with three
or four games, as a sort of consolu
tlon prise.
llut It's considerably different this
year. The Yanks opened the season
with the Athletic* and surprised ev
erybody In ripping off the first three
games, and plainly convinced everyone
that If tlie Athletics figured on grab
bing the pennant through Yankee con
quests this year the Athletics wouldn't
do any pennant grabbing
The Athletics last year had the In
dian sign on the Senators, hut It Is
quite unlikely that they'll duplicate
their IHI3 performance this year, laud
year the Athletics won fourteen of the
twenty-two games played against
Washington.
The Athletics last year broke even
with the Chicago White Sox and took
fifteen out of twenty-two games from
the Tigers Will they repeat? Hardly,
ts the two Western aggregations con
tinue w hissing along at the speed at
which they Started the season. When
the Tigers ««i going, ailed ana abet
ted by some g.*>d pitching and the
mace work of Cobb and Crawford,
they are a mighty hard aggregation
to head off. And they seem to he
dr: ■ pretty- well, thank you
Similar coudttotns exist in the Na
tional 1-eagua. Some of the clubs that

met hlin and took all of his money and
gave him a Potion to drink so that he
fell a-sleep on the roadside and the Of
fl-eers got h.in. And that was Just what
the Had Fairies wanted to happen >o
John, because they hate people who stay
at home and work.
Now, when night fell and John did not
come home, Mary, Ids wife, was fright
ened and went out with her two eldest
sons, John and 'Vr-dl-nand, who were
twins, seven years old, to search for
him in the forest. They soon came to
the place where he had been chopping
that day, and the twins began to pick
buckle-berries from the bush. Now It
so happened that the King of the Had
Fairies had for gotten where he hud left
his gold crown so that Ferdinand found
It still lying In the grass. He picked
It tip with a shout and showed it to his
mother, but she only laughed as grown
people do and said It was the shell of a
partridge’s egg Hut he knew better
and held it in his hand. Now Just at
that time the Rabbit came to be passing
by looking for Ills gold crown, because
he could not change hack in the Fairy
King until he found it. When he saw
It In Ferdinand’s hand he came close up
to him meaning to Jump and take it
away from him. Hut he was blinded
by the lantern and did not set* Mary who
was standing behind, so that he Jumped
straight Into her apron which she was
holding full of huckle-beYrles and she,
with a loud shrek, grappled him so
tight that she held him. Then she saw
It was only a rabbit she was over-joy
ed and took him home and cooked him
for supper, so that they had a better
supper than they had had for many dftys.
And that was the end of the King of the
Had Fairies. That ts what he got for
putting Ideas Into Feople’s Heads.
Meanwhile John was taken before a
Judge In the city, who took pity on him
and let him go. For the Judge had heard
before the evils which befall woodmen
when they come to town, and warned
him to buy only food when he had to
come on Haturfday night. So John went
home hh quickly as he could and was
very soYry and ashamed. But h's wife
forgave him and gave him a piece of
Rabbit and they lived unhappily ever
after.
were easy for thr Giants last year are
showing unexpected strength, and in
stead of being the means for the Gi
ants to climb to a fourth straight pen
nant, they Just now appear to be the
means that will deprive the Giunta of
that rare honor.
The Giants took fourteen out of
twenty-two games from the Pirates
last year. If the Smoke City persons
continue ut their present gait the Gi
ants will be lucky to break even. They
took fourteen out of twenty-two from
the Phillies, fourteen out of twenty
two from the Dodgers, fourteen out of
twenty-one from the Rqston Braves
and seventeen out of twehty-two from
Garry Herrmann's Itedlegs. It's some
thing of u cinch bet that they won't
repeat these performances against
these teams this year. And It's also
something of a cinch, according to the
present dope, that they won't grab
off enough extrn victories from the
Cubs and Cardinals to offset their loss
es against these other teams.
Ihe Dodgers have a better aggre
gation this year than last and ought
to furnish trouble. The Phtlltes. de
spite the fact that they were "wreck
ed' seem to be able to heat up the
Giants In a more brutal manner than
they did last year with thetr machine
Intact.
The Reds are doing a little better
than last year, and Manager Herxog
ts quite hopeful—even boastful—when
It comes to looking forward to scrap
ping with hi* old team-mates.
And so, all In all. It would seem that
the Giants and Phtlltes have some lob
ahead of them If they expect to breeie
tn under the tape again this year at
the head of the field.

Helen, thy beauty Is to me
Hike those Nlcean barks of yore
That gently, o'er a perfumed sea.
The weary wayworn wanderer bore
To his own native shore.
On desperate seas long wont to roam.
Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face*
Thy Naiad airs have brought me home
To the glory that was Greece,
And the grandeur that was Rome.

How statue-llke I see thee stand,
The agute lamp within thy hand.
Ah, Psyche, from the regions which
Are holy land.

SHE PUT IN A*MONEY CROP
(Dover News.)
One day last week Mrs. Cllntle Bro
shcars handed a small purse contain
ing In change to her son to put
out of the way of his little sister
Elisabeth. Instead, he handed the
pocketbook to the little miss. Mr 3.
Broshears had been planting garden,
and the little daughter had been an
interested onlooker. Imagine the sur
prise of Mrs. Broshears when the little
girl later brought her the empty purse
with the statement that she had plant
ed the money in the garden. When
asked If It was all planted in one
place the little one Innocently replied:
“I planted it like you planted your
garden seed; you didn't put them all
In one hole." So far none of the
money has been found. Many an old
er person has planted good money in
less promising gardens and are still
waiting for it to grow. The faith of
children and gullible suckers is un
bounded.
