Essex Did Not Need
Hudson s Endorsement

Think of the advantages Essex has
had. What ordinarily would have re-
CURED years to perfect was made pos
sible in the very first model.
That IS why 10000 are now running,
why more than $50, 10000 was paid
for Essex cars III ten months.
You have not needed the Hudson
endorsement to underGtand Essex
performance.
Essex has won its own way. Hudson
gave it full benefit Of the experience OF
its engineers and the ability Of its
manufacturing organization. It's name
was not needed
Now Hudson takes the same pride in
acknowledging its kinship to Essex that
a father might in speaking of his son
who on his own account had made good.

Essex success has not been accidental.
No one doubts its right to the position
it holds.
On the Cincinnati Speedway, stock
chassis Essex set the world 50-hour en-
durance mark, Of 3O37 miles, under
American Automobile Association su-
pervision, Another stock Essex holds
the unequalled 24-hour road mark of
1901 miles.
But how many know why Essex in its
firstyear revealed qualities more mature,
more evident of the influence of long
experience, than is commonly found in
cars even In their third and fourth year.
You will recall the Essex was an
nounced one year ago without one word
as to the identity of its builders. Not
claim was made for its performance.
You were asked to go look at it, take
ride and form your own opinion. The
Essex was required to speak for itself.
Now that it has established itself,
it is revealed why Essex has all the
qualities Of cars of long development.

tTHEDA BARA COMING
IN LA BELLE RUSSO

The dancers smile often wells a
hidden sorrow. Because she is shod
in satin slippers and vapory wells
flutter merrily about her, people are
accustomed to regard her as happy.
But Theda Bara, in LA Belle Russo"
which is coming to the Grand Theatre
tomorrow, shows that a gay exterior
often masks a tragedy.
LA Belle Russo" is the photoplay
version of the famous Belasco stage
success of the same name. 1t is the
story of dancer whose marriage to
nobleman brings upon her husband
the family. He is disinherited and she
struggles with him faithfully through
poverty and privation, secretly giving
dancing lessons so that they may not
starve. War tears her husband from
her side and she continues her strug-
gle bravely so that her baby boy may
not suffer hardship.
The picture ends with a stirring eli
max which is said to come as ire
mendous surprise.

this community may, without cost,
secure a trained and experienced

up an organization and establishing
recreational program. y
The Service is already in operation
in Atlanta, Columbus, Marietta, Amer
icus and Griffin, and formal invitations
have already been made to National
Headquarters for similar assistance
by Valdosta, Waycross and Thomas
vile. 1t is understood that the num-
Der of cities to be selected in each
state is limited and that the relation
of the national organization and work
ers is wholly advisory.
1t seems fortunate that such assist
ance to the city should be available
at this time, when the matter of
wholesome leisure-time1 activities is
already being agitated by citizens,
by the press and by local organiza-
tons.

MACHINERY FAST OUSTING

Meeting and Demonstration of Power
T"~ni7e Association at Cordele
Tells Farmer of Many Advantages.

CORDELE, July 22-Farmers
around this city who still use a one
horse plow to turn over their land and
who still cling to the old fashioned
method of using horse power to &C
complish the tasks Of an otherwise
modern farm, have been given food
for thought with the passing of the
meeting of the Power Farming AS
ISOLATION here.
The meeting was a practical dem
onstration of the advantages in using
up-to-date machinery on the farm
and was we'll attended by farmers OF
this district. Horse-farmers, as they
are termed with the advent of farm
machinery in this section, are rapidly
joining the ranks of the farmers who
farm with labor-saving machinery.

CLARENCE DELK MAKES
SOME WATERMELON SYRUP

Clarence Delk made three gallons
of syrup from three watermelons,
which average twenty-five pounds.
Besides the syrup which is quite
sweet and of good flavor, he saved
the rind and pulp, which he fed to
his hogs. While the operation may
not be called profitable to raise mel
ons for syrup, yet when the melons
are raised and are going to waste
this method is advisable, as the syrup
will do more than pay for its cost
in labor and time of production. Now
if Clarence makes his next batch and
will slice. up his rinds and throw
them into the syrup and cook them
until crystalized, then pack them in
nice glass jars, he may count on a
fine preserve which should bring a
good price. We hope he will try out
this recipe.
