NEW AMBULANCE FOR
MILFORD EMERGENCY HOSPITAL

"A fine new ambulance for the Mil
ford Emergency Hospital arrived in
Milford on Tuesday, and deliverey
was made at once. The body of the
new ambulance is fully equipped for
the purpose for which it is intended.
The interior is provided with STREET
chers, seats for attendants and with
first aid kits. The body is mounted on
a Dodge chassis. Delivery of the am
bulance was made through the Kent
garage of Milford. With the acquisi-
tiOn of the ambulance the hospital is
greatly aided in handling its many
cases which require just such a con-
veyance. The vehicle was the gift of
a friend of the hospital.

INSPECTORS DO GOOD WORK

Secretary of State A. R. Benson re-
ports that the April returns from au-
tOmobile licenses amounted to an
proximately $1,000 more this year
than last year, this being due, accord
ing to the belief of Secretary Benson,
to the efficient work of the four auto
mobile inspectors whose business it
is to see that the law is not violated
in the matter of driving cars with
out a license and driving two cars
on one Incense. The detection of
many who have been violating the
law and who were compelled to take
out licenses in both instances has
greatly increased the revenue in the
State automobile department.

EXPRESS BUSINESS TO IMPROVE

The horse-drawn delivery service
of the American Express Company in
Milford is to be discarded at last
after long tribulation resulting from
the slow and poor service by wagon.
The company is asking bids from
truck haulers for taking over the
service of delivery in Milford and
hauling to and from the railroad and
the express Office in the town. This
will enable more quick delivery and
better service than has been given by
the man and horse delivery it will
Supercede.

ENTERTAINMENT ANDSOCIAL
TO BE GIVEN BY The USHERS UNION OF
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH MAY Is.

The Ushers Union of the Presbyter-
ian Church, of Milford, is going to
christen the new Sunday school room
of the church by giving a real dollar
and a half entertainment and social
with feed thrown in free. The Sun
day school room has just been entirely
renovated and looks slick as a whistle.
The Ushers Union is a new organiza-
.tion, full of young blood. Perhaps you
never heard of it before. Well, that
4 fact will soon be remedied. Come out
and see them yank loose a program
that is warranted to cure the blues,
/ remove warts and bunions, brighten
the intellect, and touch up the liver.
President of the Ushers, Jacob Rosa,
will start off the evening with
speech that is bound to be magnifi-
cent. Whenever he speaks things are
so quiet you can hear a fly walk fifty
feet away. After Mr.. Rosa has said
all he knows you will be further
charmed and enraptured with musi-
cal numbers; recitatiOns, etc., that will
startle you.
These dOings will all take place on
the night of the fifteenth of May. It
was deemed advisable to have it on a
with other social affairs, thereby max
ing it unnecessary for people to can
Gel other engagements.
Now the price of admission has been |
set at only fifty cents. And if you own /
any children really and truly under
twelve years of age you can carry (
them in for only half as much. Think
of it! Mr.. ROsa's Grafton alone will |
hn
there will be fifty cents worth of eats
and good cheer. No one has been able
to explain why the Ushers made the
price so low except for the fact that |
they will all have to buy tickets them
selves. Applications for tickets have
already been received from seven
teen towns, and several people sent
S1.5O for ticket, thinking SOC must
be mistake. A few tickets are still L
at large and may be purchased from
The Ushers themselves or from c. d.
Abbott at his store
At first it was decided that the men
would run this affair all by them ;
selves. Later, however, some wise per-
ION suggested that perhaps the ladies
night be peeved unless they be given :
IN opportunity to help make it a sue
ess. So they have been asked to help
ell the tickets and may perhaps be ,
flowed to wash up the dishes after :

The song, "Silver Threads

This comes to light in a law
suit in Brooklyn, n. Y. The
famous song is said to have sold
100000 copies.
Between 1915 and 1920, when
it had one of its periodical pop
ular runs after long sleep,
it earned royalties of $4,000.

back in 1903. But his song still
lives. Maybe if you could come

survive through their children.

A year or two ago we heard
That South Georgia was whip
ping the boil weevil by aban-
doning cotton end going into the
cultivation of other crops on an
extensive scale. Now we learn
from the highly authoritative
source of the census bureau of
department of commerce that
South Georgia counties are lead
ing the state again in produc-
ton of cotton
How did hey do it? That is
the first question that comes to
the mind of every perplexed
cotton farmer in North Georgia
where the ravages of the boil
weevil were felt at their hardest
this year
The census bureau report on
ginnings up to November l
shows that the greatest increase
in production this year occurre
in that tier of South Georgia
counties a few years ago
almost knocked out of the cot
ton raising business. Sumter,
Terrell, Ben Hill, Dodge, Lau-
rens, Wilcox, Randolph, Lee,
TattnalI and other fertile coun-
ties that were invaded long ago
by the boil weeVil appear this
year as the counties that made
the greatest increase IN cotton
production while counties far
Their north that moro recently
were invaded show sharp reduc-
tons.
The answer to the question,
How did they do it?" makes an
interesting story.
But in brief it is simple
story. They did by the appli-
cations of intelligence and hard
work.
A report in the Dawson News
on how it was done in Terrell
county, safs: "Practically ev-
cry farmer IL the county who
stayed on the job and used his
head in planning and cultivat-
ing has REALIZED profit from his
cotton crop this year, while
some have produced really re-
markable Yields
The Americas Times Recorder
quoting successful Sumter
county farmer, says: "The fact
that Sumter is leading all other
sections of Georgia this year in
the production of cotton is due
largely to the fact that the
farmer has combined science
with good Judgment
Further inquiry will reveal
the fact that the counties
that have made the greatest
progress have had the benefit
of the service of county agri-
cultural agents Floyd county
next year is going to have the
same service, thanks to the re-
cent action of the county board
Of education BY following the
instructions of these agents and
by combining science with
good Judgment" Floyd county
next year, without increasing
the acreage will produce from
1000 to 1000 more bales Of cot
ton than was produced this year.
The increase may be even
greater than that. But there
will be no decrease in the
amount of food and feed crops,
il we are to prosper, because

AUTO DRIVERS, EXERCISE
PERSONAL CAUTION.

Traffic cops work in the
heart Of constant danger. But
you rarely, if ever, hear of a
traffic cop being killed or even
struck by an auto.
There are two reasons for
this. They are;
First: Every auto driver is
more OF less afraid of a uniform.
lie takes mighty good care not
to hit the policeman in charge
Of traffic. Because the driver
is cautious. he does not run
down the traffic cop.
Second: The traffic cop, in
turn, is cautious. He obeys the
rules Of the road-does not step
suddenly into the path of on
coming autos. Being cautious, he
escapes injury.
There you have the solution
of the auto-accident problem.
More than 900 Americans
are killed yearly by autos and
third are children; in addi-
tion, a property loss of at least
a billion dollars a year.
IT, all this happened in one
giganbic catastrophe-for in
stance, town destroyed with
1000 killed and a billion dol
lars in property destroyed-the
whole nation would be shocked.
But the auto-toll catastrophe
comes bit by bit, life blotted
out or left crippled here, a lone
machine wrecked there.
And because the toll of auto
smashes does come bit by bit
instead of all together, drivers
and pedestrians lose sight of
the fearful total and lapse into
observation-disclosures
In this campaign to curb auto
accidents, campaign now
sweeping the whole country,
hundreds of suggestions are
being made, Many of them
will be adopted-stricter traffic
regulations, parking rules, cree
ton of additional safety zones
and so on.
All these are helpful, but the
tell of auto smash-ups will not
can not-be materially reduc-
ed unless the general public
keeps in mind this simple rule:
The rule In every safety
first campaign that has ever
been waged, it has. been learn
ed that regulations and auto
matte safeguards are of little
help unles backed by constant
personal caution.
The curb for auto accidents
is not something mysterious and
hitherto unknown; undiscovered,
What's chiefly needed is: eau
tious drivers, taking no danger
Gus chances. Cautious pedes-
TRANS, never risking their lives,
constantly on their guard.
A certain percentage of the
population chronically is reck-
less or in a half-trance condi-
ton. For them, and for inexpe-
rienced children, traffic must be
made as fool proof as possible
For this purpose, no proposal
can be too severe.
