ALLAY ALL YOUR
ANXIETY FOR THE
PRESENT

Though the day for the draft for
the army is near at hand, Ben Hill
county boys will need feel no anx-
iety, according to the latest advices
From the best information that we
have, there will not be more than
forty called from this county, and as
we positively will get credit for the
enlisted men already in the army, the
county will not be compelled to fur
nish any for the first call
The numbers, however, will be
drawn the same as elsewhere and the
corresponding cardholder will have to
present himself before the exemption
board, as others do, but the proper
credit will be asked for and is certain
to be allowed by the War Depart
nent, according to the law. Clerk D.
w NJ Whitley and Sheriff Dorn1iney
will be prepared to make the proper
showing before the authorities.
The Leader Enterprise will appre-
ciate it if information is furnished us
of the names and regiment of any
who may have been omitted in the

Automobile Radiators.

To assure the efficient operation and
long life of your automobile it is es4
sential that the radiator be kept clean.
Every radiator has been designed for
the purpose of dissipating some of the
heat from the engine to prevent it from
overheating The radiator can only
accomplish this, advises the Popular
Science Monthly. when the radiator
cells are cleared of mud, so that the
comparatively cool air can circulate
through it. Yet many are the cars
which are allowed to clog up with mud
and dirt until it almost takes a ham
mer to knock them out. A good antidote
is powerful stream of water from a
hose, or where this may not be con-
venient stiff brush or a broom will
assist in solving the cleaning problem.
