An Accurate Corn Planter Is
One of Your Best Friends

There is a big difference
between the yield of crops
planted with an inaccurate plan
ter and one that's accurate. You
use the same amount of seed
but the difference in the crop
often amounts to as much as
five, six or seven-yes, and
more bushels per acre.
Here is a point we want you
to think over: If a planter
misses only fifteen kernels in every
100 hills, there is a loss of FIVE bushels
per acre in the yield.

LOCAL RED CROSS
ROLL CALL NOW ON
Take Advantage of Fair Week to
Make Appeal for Funds.

The Ben Hill Chapter of the Amer
lean Red Cross is making its 1920
roll call nearly a month ahead of the
rest of the country.
Considering that the week of the
Fitzgerald Exposition would be the
best week during the fall to make an
appeal for funds, the local organiza-
ton went ahead with its plans and is
now asking aid for its work.
In answer to question of what the
Red Cross has to do in time of
peace, Miss Esther King, treasurer of
the local chapter explained this
morning that $95278 had been ex-
pended this year in Ben Hill county
in various phases of Home Service
work
The Red Cross has purchased sew
eral hundred dollars worth of grocer
les and food for destitute people.
Three caskets have been purchased
in order that people who otherwise
could not have had even a legal bur-
ial, could be buried decently.
Medicine is one of the large items
of cApense of the chapter. Numbers
of families of people which sickness
has found without means of livlihood
or OF procuring attention, have been
aided by the Red Cross. Nurses have
been paid for caring for several who
were dangerously ill.
The Red Cross in Ben Hill county
fills the place elsewhere occupied by
Associated Charities, and Red Cross,
and many other organizations. While
the Red Cross is not intended to
serve as charitable institution, 1t
does that work locally.

in Canada. Passengers will be car
ried on either straight or stunt"

CHIEF SICK; SIX
FIRES FOUGHT
Fifty-Four Fireless Days Ended
When Bed Catches Fire
TWO HOUSES DESTROYED
Midget Tent at Fair Burned but
Serious Blaze Averted

Fifty-four freless days in Fitzger-
aid wren suddenly broken this week.
just when Chief w. c. Wilkerson,
who enjoys fire more than any man
alive, was sick. Six alarms followed
rapidly in the last five days.
Through all the summer months
and the first few fall weeks the alarm
siren kept quiet and the big fire
trucks stood still in their blocks. The
first break in the long freless spell
was on election day when a man
went to sleep in the Aldine with a
cigarette, according to the fremen's
theory, and woke up with the bed
smoking. The only damage was a
burned shirt tail and scorched bed
ding. ia.zM
The first real fire was Monday
when the roof of Mr.. H. K. Sligh's
beautiful home on Central avenue
caught, probably from chimney
sparks. The fire department quench-
ed the blaze with little damage to the
house other than done to the furni-
ture by the water.
The most serious result of the Sigh
fire was an injury to Mrs. Sigh who
sprained her ankle during its prog
ress. Mrs. Sigh is confined to her
home as a result of the accident.
A fence caught fire in the 800
block on West Central Avenue short
ly after the Sigh fire but was ex-
tinguished without damage.
Two dwelling houses near the
power house caught fire from an un-
known cause last night about HOO
O'Clock. One unoccupied dwelling
owned by Hon. 7. J. Luke was COM
pletely destroyed. A second dwell
ing occupied by Prof. Flanagan was
partially destroyed. That building
was owned by Mr.. J. B. Seanor. No
one was hurt.
A serious conhagration at the Fitz-
gerald Exposition grounds was prob
ably averted by the prompt action of
the fire department. yesterday when
the Midget Tent caught, probably
from faulty electric connection. The
tent was completely destroyed but no
further damage was sustained and the
blaze was not allowed to spread. The
Midgets were not on exhibition so
