PALMER-JoNES COMPANY EN-
LARGING FOR INCREASING AU-

RITORY.

The Palmer-Jones company has re-
Gently installed stock of more than
$4,000 worth of automobiles tires, and
will engage in this business on lar
ger scale than any ether Cordele con-
Germ, carrying a complete line of &C
cessories in connection.
This company has also installed
machinery and tanks for furnishing
free air and the sale Of gasoline at
the usual marke prices. Free air
will be furnished to any and all au-
tomobile owners.
Robley Mcdonald has been employ
ed by the Palmer-Jones company as
local salesman of tires and accesSo"
ries, and already he has secured or
ders for q large number of tires. The
company will make a speciality of the
Lee Puncture-Proof tire, which is fast
making a name for itself and growing
in popularity throughout the entire
section. Many automobile owners
throughout the state and a gOodiy
number in Cordeie and Crisp county
have given the Northumberland
tire a thorough test and have found
that it is the most servicable and &C.
onomical tire they have ever used.
The average life of the ordinary tire
is between five and six thousand
miles. A number of Lee Puncture-
Proof tires on Cordele automobiles
that have been run more than seven
teen thousand miles without pune
ture or blowout are still giving good
service. This tire really displays
some new wrinkles in substantial tire
building, and it's qualities are worth
investigating Proving their faith in
the quality and durability CT this tire
the Palmer-Jones company will make
a cash refund on any Lee Puncture-
Proof Pneumatic casing in event that
the inner tube in the casing is punh-
tured during regular service within
$500 miles by a nail or other sharp
object in the road, penetrating both
the casing and the inner tube.

time to furnish as many miles at the
same tire cost as any tire on the mar
ket, to say nothing of the satisfaction
of eliminating punctures and other
tire trouble.
The Goodyear and the Lee regular

FORMER HEAD WAITER TELLS
OF OTHER GIRLS AT MORRISON
Besides the regular cabaret girls
for singing and dancing and tickling
bald-headed customers under the
chin, the Hotel Morrison has had
from 20 to 80 other girls working at
earning their living another way, ac-
cording to an affidavit which has
done to city officials from Dimitri
Joanowici, former head waiter of the
hotel.
my orders from Harry Moir, the
manager, were that when these girls
failed to pay for their drinks it was
my business to o. K. their checks,
said Joanowici to a Day Book re-
porter ''The girls roomed at the
hotel and came to work late after
moons and evenings.
"They sat at tables eating and
drinking and keeping their eye out
for any man who was lonely and
looking for company. They were not
loud in their behavior except some
times toward midnight, and in the
early hours of morning when some of
them had plenty of drinks they would
cut up lively
Connections of Harry Moir, man
ager of Hotel Morrison, with the po-
lice and with City Hall have been
much discussed since Miss Ruth
Crist, a 20-year-old runaway girl
from GAINESVILLE, o., answered the
charge of soliciting by statement in
morals court that drinks were sold in
Moir's place till o'clock in the morn
ing and the going is fast. Before'the
Crist case is ended the Joanowici aft
davit may play part in court.
Joanowici says he used to be head
waiter in the Ritz-Carlton in London
and he went to work for Moir after
serving as captain of walters in the
Congress hotel cafe and in the Col
lege Inn. He said:

Mineral Waters Sold in the United
States in 1915.

The number of active mineral springs
in the United States in 1915, according
to figures compiled by the United States
geological survey, department Of the in
terror, was smaller and the production
was less though the value was greater
than in 1914. Statistics reported from
500 commercial springs show that the
total production was 54,35s, AGO gallons.
valued at S4,s92.32s. The decrease in
production was 2,444,963 gallons, or 4
per cent. The increase in value ri me
dicinal waters was S60506 and in the
value of table waters SlS5,96 thus the
total increase in value of sales was S246
466, or 5 per cent. The increase in bus
mess is slightly less than the decrease in
imports of foreign waters, and this, cou
pied with the increase of price per gallon
from to 10 cents, indicates increased
sales of moderately high priced domestic
waters that have become valuable sub
stitutes for waters previously imported.
New York led in number of commercial
springs and in quantity of mineral wa
ter sold and was second to Wisconsin in
total value of production and in value Of

Indiana was second in value of medicinal

The nature and habits of the eggplant

which attacks eggplant and related spe-
cies Of plants throughout the South, and
methods for the control of the pest, are
described by Thomas II. Jones in pro-
fessional paper of the department. bull
letin 422, recently issued. Although the
beetle is not an important enemy, it is,
at times at least, destructive enough to
warrant the use of insecticides for its
control.
The adult or beetle is small and dull
green or greensh yellow in color. In its
development it passes through five larval
and one pupal stage. Both the beetles
and their Larvae attack leaves, eating
