ing Held.

The Kings Daughters held an
unusually interesting meeting at the
Methodist Church Wednesday after
noon,- Mrs. s. ]. Hoskfns, the leader,
presiding.
Mrs e. NJ Bee reported the gener-
GUS gift by the Brookhaven Pressed
Brick Co. through Mr.. f. ". Beck
err, of all the brick needed for the
construction of the nurses home for
the hospital. The number called for
In the plan and specifications is over
thirty-eight thousand. The brick
and one thousand dollars in cash con-
stitute all the material resources in
sight for the building of the home.
The. need is urgent, however, the
hospital being SO badly crowded at
present that the reception room had
to be converted into room for pa
tients.
Another interesting topic was the
restaurant at the Seven County Fair,
to be conducted by the Kings Daugh-
ters. Mrs. II. M. Smylie and anoth.

An Every Day Stock Show.

Our real live stock show-the true
index Of the interest and care for
animals in Lincoln county, may be
seen in Brookhaven any Saturday
tethered to trees, vehicle wheels or
hitching posts up and down the
streets bordering the busiest section
Of town. These horses and mules,
viewed by visitors from other sec.
tions fifty two or more times each
year, impress the beholder with the
attitude of Lincoln county toward
its live stock. far more strongly than
the comparatively small number
picked for exhibition at the annual
fair. Not so much the blood and
breed, as the evidence Of good feed
ing, a curried coat and freedom from
scars made by ill-fitting harness, be-
speak master prosperous, intelli-
gent and humane. Illfed, SCARED,
NANCY horses represent unprogress-
i've citizenship and offset signs OF
progress in other directions.

Wooden Ships Bring
N-Cent on Dollar

Washington, Sept. 12.-The gov
ernment today sold its fleet Of war
built wooden ships, the shipping
board accepting a bid Of $750,0OO
made by Geo. D. Perry, as attorney
of the firm of Lent & Humphrey Of
San Francisco forN226 of the YES
sells.
The bid was accepted at compe-
tftive sale conducted by Chairman
Lasker and members Of the shippine
board, and the action leaves the gov
ernment with only ten wooden ships
on its hands. The ships sold today
represented "a cost of $500, 900, 900.
The sale brings to an end contin-
ued efforts by the government to rid
itself Of the wooden ships, which
have often been described as a white
elephant" born and nourished by the
war.
None of the ships sold are being
operated, 211 of them are tied up az
Claremont, Va, thirteen at Orange,
Tex, and two at Beaumont, Tex. The
vessels range from 5000 to 5000 tons
and include nine of the composite
types.

may be seen at Maison Blanche's or

These cabinets, like the new equip
ment in the Grocery Department, are
not at all for display save of the
goods they hold, but help to serve
quickly and with comfort and con-
venience both the patron and the en-
ploye who is unhampered by the old
things that have passed and that
required maximum of motion on
the part Of the clerk and a pretense
of patience on the part of the busy
shopper.
The immense Herrick refrigerator
system in the grocery was inviting
to the trade and the latest in fresh
vegetables and dainties showed thru
the transparent doors along with sta
pies always in demand in our house

grocery is Of the Walker built"

Dressgoods, ready-to- wears, coats
and suits, were seen to be beautiful.

measure will be boons to large la
dies difficult to fit, while the shrink
age in price will adapt itself to the
slender purse they may carry.
Mems furnishings, exhibited SO
that one may select, without clerk;
millinery with beautiful pattern hats
and all sorts of accessories are at
Aylward's.
And after all is said the newly-in-
stalled Business Office shows the
system and science used by the man
ager who believes in everything
in order"
And beyond all the material facts
in his business enterprise is the con-
fidence in Aylward's fair dealing with
his friends and his attitude toward
the problems OF everyday life that
demand an honest exchange and an
investment of character that money
can't buy. Mr.. Aylward exalts the
standards necessary to success in a
business house like his.

THE SLAUGHTER OF INFANCY

Each year in this country $780, 900
babies meet death before they are a
year old. There are nine other
countries where the newborn child
stands better chance of growing to
healthy childhood than in the Uni
ted States. Considering all the en-
ligEteMment supposed to exist in this
country it seems like a kind of sIau-
ghter for our people to permit all
these little lives to go out so soon.
If the farmers lose a considerable
part of their calves and lambs, they
feel it severely as an injury to their
business. Yet we sustain this sacri-
flee of cur most precious product, our
infancy and it excites no great out
cry. 1t deprives the nation of it's
man power and brings sorrow and
encouragement to countless homes.
1t is also a source of great sorrow
and loss, that $500 mothers die
annually in giving birth to children.
There are II other countries where
1t Is safer for woman to become a
mother. Most of these deaths are
needless, and due to ignorance of
proper care. The great un-Ameri-
canized foreign population is an ele-
ment in which big. share of these
losses occur.
In many remote country districts,
also, there is lack of knowledge
as to proper care, and there may be
no doctor handy. The sum of ST.
100000 is being spent this year by
the federal government in distribut-
ing information and giving demon
strations as to care for mothers and
children.
Kind hearted people all over the
country ought to investigate con-
ditions In their own cities and local
tiles, to see if there are families need
ing instruction of this kind. The
amount appropriated can not begin
to reach all that need help. This
federal enterprise should be supple
mented everywhere by efforts of cha
ritable societies and neighborhoods
to instruct mothers in the proper
care for their infants and them
selves.
