LIEUT.. HART SMITH GIVES
THRILLING EXHIBITION

A thrilling exhibition of aeroplane
stunts was witnessed by large num-
Der Wednesday Afternoon at the Car
rol farm, west of the city, when 1t.
Hart Smith gave some very intricate
maneuvers in his flying machine.
After the free exhibition 1t. Smith
took a number of thrill seeking citi-
zens up in the air. Without excep-
ton all of these were delighted with
the experience and darkness overlook
the entertainment, causing number
of requests for rides being cancelled.
However, 1t. Smith, responding to
the many requests to remain over to
satisfy the craving for excitement on
the part of many embrio aviators,
will remain here over Sunday and
give another free exhibition at the
same farm, miles west of the city
on the Irwinville road west of the
Roanoke school house and also give
rides to the many who have filed their
application with him and others who
may come out and like to take a try
heavenward. 1t is expected that two
planes will be available next Sunday.

POULTRY INDUSTRY
INCREASES IN THIS
SECTION OF STATE
THE BEN HILL COOPERATIVE
HATCHERY WILL CLOSE ON
TUESDAY, THE 18th, OF THIS
MONTH.

With the closing of our hatchery
we take great pleasure in expressing
our appreciation of the cooperation
of our customers during the season.
With such cooperation and the ca
pacity of our hatchery doubled over
last year we have been enabled to
hatch over one hundred thousand
eggs which has placed approximately
fifty thousand baby chicks in our ter
ritory besides the amounts shipped
into other territory.
With our poultry industry increas-
ing as rapidly as it is it will be neces-
sary to add another ten thousand egg
unit to our hatchery, which will give
us thirty thousand egg capacity to
take care of the growing demands
of another season.
We feel perfectly safe in saying
that this will be done as the sole pur-
pose of the hatchery stockholders is
to assist in every way that they can
in building great poultry industry
in Ben Hill and adjoining counties.
Again thanking you for your sup
port and cooperation, we are,
Yours very truly,

Senator George
Sponsors Bill for
War Veterans

The tin limit for the conversion
Of World War Veterans life insur-
ance has seen extended to December
81, 1926, under a bill just passed in
the Senate and sponsored by Senator
George. The old law provided that
the date of conversion should expire
July 2, 1926. Under Senator
Georges bill a form of insurance at
a very low rate is provided for an adj
ditional period of five years. All the
veterans of the World War holding
insurance, and all veterans who have
permitted their insurance to lapse
will be permitted to convert their
policies into term insurance.
Senator George suggests that all
veterans who have permitted their
insurance to lapse, and those who
have not yet converted their insur-
ance, as required by the World War
Veterans Act of 1924, make applica-
ton for the five year term insurance
provided in his bill. He stated that
this measure will permit veterans to
carry their insurance without any in
crease in premium rate during the
next five year period. The Georgia
Senator expressed confidence that the
bill would speedily pass the House
and become a law before the adj
iournment of Congress.

FREIGHT TRAIN ST.
MILES LONG NEEDED TO
CARRY DODGE BROTHERS
1925 OUTPUT

John R. Lee, assistant general sales
manager of Dodge Brothers, Inc,
looked up from a sheet of paper on
which he had been figuring and re-
marked:
"a solid train of freight cars ex-
tending from New York City through
Buffalo and ffty-ohe miles into Can
ada would be quite a spectacle
wouldn't it? Well, that is the length
of the train that would have been
required to carry all the Dodge
Brothers cars that were shipped by
rail in 1925 from the Detroit fac
tory. Dodge Brothers shipped ST.
O74 carloads of automobiles from
Detroit in the course of the year.
On the basis that the average length
of a freight car, from coupler to
coupler, is As feet, this would make
up an unbroken freight train 445
miles long. By rail it is 1876 miles
from the Terminal in New York City
to the Railroad station in Buffalo.
"Nowhere near all the 259,967
Dodge Brothers cars and Graham
Brothers trucks produced in 1925
were sent by rail, however. Boat
shipments from Detroit alone totaled
15,1O8. and there were 23,897 cars
that left the Detroit plants under
their own power. So if all the mo-
tor vehicles made by Dodge Broth
ers. Inc, and Graham Brothers IN
Detroit, Evansville, Stockton and
Toronto last year had been shipped
by rail (loaded four Dodge Brothers
cars or three Graham Brothers
trucks to each railroad carr that
freight train would have been long
enough to stretch from New York
City clear across New York State,
and across the Niagara River into
Canada, to a point just rs miles east
of Detroit"

REVIEWS CURRENT
BILLS; PASSES ON
COUNTY MATTERS
Wilcox Commissioners
Appear Before Local
Board in Full Force.

The Board of County Commission
ers had a busy meeting Tuesday, re-
viewing current bills and passing on
important county matters. The
Board of Education appeared before
the Board to advise them that they
were financially unable to continue
the work of the County Agent, but
highly endorsed his record and re-
quested the Board of Commissioners
to supply the needed funds to finance
his work, approximating 500 per
month.
The matter was taken under ad-
visement, pending decision by
County Attorney A. J. Mcdonald as
to the legality of the Boards action
The Wilcox County Commissioners
appeared in full force, requesting the
cooperation of the local Board to Sc
cure additional road mileage from
Hawkinsville via Rochelle to Fitzger-
aid.
The care with which the commits
sioners passed on every individual
bill of expense presented to them by
the various county officers is COM
mendable, having adopted the rule
to pay only such accounts as are
passed on by their legal adviser.
An effort to secure the cooperation
of Telfair county to bridge the
Ocmulgee was also given their en-
dorsement.
County Agent C. T. Owens and
County School Superintendent j. H
Billiard requested the endorsement
of Tri-County Fair for this Fall
which was readily given.
