Editor Leader Enterprise:
In behalf of the Woman's Christian
Temperance, Union and the Ben Hill
County Civic League. | wish to
thank you for the publication Of those
beautiful verses entitled "Verses for
the Day written by my girlhood
friend and neighbor Dan G. Bickcrs,
and for those splendid articles ser
mon to live by from the pen of Rev.
Elan F. Dempsey.
The article, "Rcmembcr--to keep it
Holy" Written by DR.. Dempsey on
the prayer observance of the Sab
bath, and published in your last issue
is most excellent and timely, and is
greatly appreciated at this particular
time when much earnest effort is be-
ing put forth to induce men to realize
the moral and economic necessity for
observing the Sabbath as a day OF
rest from all leadily labor, and if spirit
ual activity.
A few articles are well worth the
price Of the paper for the entire year
and we trust that no readers of the
Leader Enterprise will carelessly toss
it aside until they have read and then
"clipped," these verses" and scr
MONS" by these two splendid men.

10 affect college class in psychology
and yet practical enough and tender
enough t. touch every mother heart
i'll hearing with greater reverence for
the child lifc-itS sacred rights and
ITS W rderful posyii, .iitiee.
1t is Mr. Dixon's special mission to
sound the Keynote of danger for the
neglect, whether il be from ignorance
Of Indifference, of the natural play
instincts OF the child, and the natural
recreative impulses of the youth. The
physical and the moral growth as we'll
OF the individual depend SO much upon
the proper cultivation of these in
stincts and impulses, that no. longer
can they be with safety overlooked
either in the home or in the commun-
ity.
Miss Weed then outlined plan for
a demonstration to be given i'll Novem-
Der: 9N
Mr.. Lincoln stressed the point of
more general cooperation and asked
that more frequent and personal quer

In response to calls from the chair
man, Mcsdames Lon Dickey, Geo.
Brown,.L Gclders, Frank Ward and

committee, composed of Mesdames
Geo. Brown, r. F. Lee, and Sam
Abrau, who reported the following re-
solutions which were unanimously
adopted.
Whereas we recognize that our city
has been lacking in suitable and ade-
quate facilities for providing whole
some recreation for its citizens, and
whereas we believe that leisure time Of
children and adults should be intel-
ligently directed, and
Whereas Fitzgerald Community +
Service is endeavoring to provide al
more adequate recreatonal program
10 all the people of the city.
Be it Resolved; that we group
of women of Fitzgerald in public
meeting endorse the aims ond pro-
gram Of Community Service as direct
ed by Fitzgerald Community Service
and pledge our support and help in
placing Community Service on per-
mancnt basis in our community.

Three Young Boys and One
Woman Are Among Fugitives

Eleven negroes craW1ed through a
coal Chute to freedom early Sunday
morning in the first general jail de-
livery Ben Hill County has had in
recent years. 1t is said that the escpe
VS. effected by means of key manu-
1actured by one of the prisoners who
was clever with tools.
Tom Turner, the only one of the
eleven who had been recaptured up
until this afternoon, told Sheriff E.
II. Dorminey that Tom Horne, who
had been allawed out of his cage to
sweep out tn Jail during the day, had
secured the key. Saturday evening
he released Daniel Davis, charged with
criminal assault, fron has cage Davis
climbed to the top of the cage where
he concealed himself. When Sheriff
Dorminey made his last inspection,
about II o'clock, the negroes were all
apparently asleep and quiet and he
tailed to note to absence of Davis in
the darkness OF the jail.
About 2 o'clock Sunday morning
Davis crawled down from his hiding
place and opened the mems cage.
Rochelle Buchanan, wife of Henry
Buchanan, both charged with larceny,
was pulled through the hole in her
cell door through which the prisoners
are fedlt is said that the Womans
ability to go through small holes is
responsible for the success they are
charged with living in steling. Large
quantities of fine silks and clothing
wee found in their home.
Once uot of their cages, the pris-
oners forced the paddock on the door
leading from the cell corridor to the
coal bin in the basement of the pail.
They crawled to freedom through the
coal hole. The escape was not dis
covered until Sheriff Dorminey made
an inspection Sundy morning before
brekfst.
Although immedite steps were taken
TO recapture the escapes and authori
ties in neighboring counties were mott
fled only Tom Turner had been locat-
Ell up until today. The county has
been located up until today. The
county has no track hounds so that
usual method of pussuing escaped
prisoners could not be followed
The fugitives include the three
negro boys, Eugene nd Kress Battle
and George Reeves, who are charged
with wholesale bicycle thefts; Henry
Henry and Rochelle Buchanan, alleg
cd shop filters; Esco Clarker, alleged

Wayne county service men are
anxious to learn their status relative
to exemptions to which they are
entitled in the filling of income tax re-
turns. ... ...-.
1t is pointed out by the bureau OF
internal revenue that soldiers and
sailors, as such, are not exempt from
the tax, but the law specifically ex-
empts that portion Of their income re-
ceived as compensation from the
United States up to the amount of
$500 in any taxable year. This
exemption is in addition to the person
al exemptions of $1,000 and $4,000
allowed single and married persons
and applies to a person of either sex
in active military or naval forces.
Persons who left the military or
naval service during the year 1919
and whose income other than the
amount paid them by the government
equaled or exceeded $1,000 or $4,000,
according to their marital status,
must file a return on or before March
15.' The tax is on income in excess
of these amounts. The return is for
the calendar year.

SESSION OUTLINED

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. IA call

meet here on Thursday. Feb. 20, was
issued yesterday by e. M. Wasmuth,
chairman Of the committee. At the
same time Invitations were sent to all
of the Republican candidates for state
offices to meet with the committee to
discuss the program Of the special
session Of the legislature which the
governor Is expected to call within
q short time.
Governor Goodrich said yesterday
the special session would be called be-
fore the primary, but declared no def
mite date had been decided upon. He
said 1t probably would be some time
In March.
1t Is the governors plan to expedite
the session as much as possible and
he has already been assured by sew
eral members OF the assembly, It Is I'M
derstood. that they will cooperate in
pushing pressing matters through.
Some Of the assenblymen declare the
entire program can be acted upon Inf
ten days 81
Thorough Airing Sought.
The governor will lay his plans be-
fore the members Of the state commit
tee and the candidates for thorough
discussion After program Is pre-
pared It will be sent to the members
of the general assembly and each one
will be asked to make suggestions as
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of acting on the
recommended legislation.
Among some Of the proposals to be
placed before the committee session
for discussion will be the enactment
of a child labor law and a blue sky
law, both OF which were lost in the
last regular session Of the legislature.
Amendments to the road law and the
tax law will be discussed at length and
IL is probable tentative program on
these measures will be decided upon
for presentation to the assembly.
War Memorial.
Another matter of supreme impor-
lance to be considered will be the
question of a state war memorial.
Legislation providing for women
voters also will be discussed and it is
expected that bill will be drafted
enlarging the facilities for handling
the increased number Of voters in
case women are given the right to
vote before the primary

show that the penal institutions, for
the first time in their history have
made profits from the industries they
are engaged in, and that he will rec
ommend legislation dividing the sur
plus profits among the inmates, or
their families.
A bill giving county commissioners
the power to fix salaries of county Of
ficials will also be probably taken UP.
The state legislature now has the pow
er to name the salaries for county Of
ficia1s and according to the sponsors
Of the proposed bill inequalities exist
in the remuneration received by the
officers in various counties.

A North Carolina Druggist Solves
the Problem
Thanks to Lunsford Richardson, a
druggist in Greensboro, N. c., this
problem has been solved, and Southern
mothers have been given a method Of
treating cold troubles externally. MIR.
Richardson discovered a salve that
would vaporize by the body heat when
applied over throat and chest. These
vapors, inhaled with each breath, car
RED the medication through the air pas
sages to the lungs, at the same time the
salve was absorbed thru and stimulated
the skin, attracting the blood to the sur
face and thus aiding the vapors inhaled
to relieve the trouble. This prepare
ton Mr.. Richardson called Vick's
VapoRub.
Vicks contains no harmful drugs,
just the old fashioned, time tested
remedies Menthol, Camphor, Thynol,
Eucalyptus, Turpentine, etc. - COM
bined in a new-fashioned way.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-02-17

The Use of Vicks Has Steadily
Increased
Starting with the customers of Mr..
Richardson's retail drug store, the sale of
this external treatment has grown, coun-
ty by county, state by state, until now
Vicks can be found in almost any drug
store in all sections of the United States.
Mothers who once use Vicks always
keep a bottle on hand thereafter. 1t is
so easily applied, so quick in its effects,
and, best of all, can be used as often
and as freely as desired, without fear
of harmful results.
