Not A Talking Machine
The New Edison is not a “talking machine.” It is the most
wonderiul musical instrument ever devised. It does what no
other invention has ever accomplished. It Re-Creates the hu
man voice and the music o( human-played instiuments with such
fidelity that the original cannot b: ^distinguished from the Re-
Creation when brought into direct comparison. ’ Music's Re-
Creation is Thomas A. Edison’s new art.
4 New Expression — Music’s
Recreation
In order clearly to distinguisi the results obtained by the New
Edison from the familiar, mechanical reproduction ol the| ordi
nary talking machine the critic coined a new expression--Music’s
Re-Creation, ^neW art known only to Thomas A. Edison and
his trusted assistants.
No Needles to Change
Incidentally, the reproducing stylus of the New Edison is a gen
uine diamond which never wears out. Consequently there are
,-no needles to change.
, Durable Records
Edison records are extremely durable, not easily broken and
practically unwearable. They can be played hundreds of tunes
without imryairing their raurral qualities to a degree sufficient to
be detected by the keenest ear.-

Dr. Fort briefly explained the ob

a Ccramittse be selected to put in
nomination for permanent Chairman,
a viee-Chairman, a Secretary, Treas-

Hargrett, Horry Kent and L. A.

This committee retired to consider
nomination*.
Rev. G. W. Mathews spoke for'
five minutes on "A Father’s Atti
tude Toward the Red Croia.” He
read selections from Bernhardt's
“Germany and the Great War,” to
show that Germany deliberately
brought on this war for the purpose
of conquest; he read other quota
tions to show the German attitude,
which loses sight of all considera
tions of civilization nr humanity to
secure success. W» are facing a
monster without conscience or prin
ciple which looks upon an absolute
despotism as a divine institution of
heaven. We are fighting the battle
of humanity and civilization against
a Frankenstein which seeks not only
dominion of land, but of air and wa
ter In this battle the saving of life
and alleviation of suffeilng is a
high and holy work And this is the
work of the Red Cross.
Mrs. N. Peterson talked on "A
oman's Attitude Toward the Red
Cross.” She began by quoting By
ron’s reference to woman as a
ministering angel in time of trial.
Hundreds of thousands of women
are now asking to be enlisted f< f
service. The nation was unprepared
for war, ‘But' there was ng lack of
preparedness on the part of the Bed
Cross, and this is due to women,

ative of the thousands of trained
nurses ready in the hospitala while
die home base represented the hun
dreds of thousands of women labor
ing for the support of the work.
Nurses who go to the front must
have two year*' training besides
complying with many other require
ments. Perhaps less than one in ope
thousand enlisted in the work can
go to the front but every member
do something, and many things
e mentioned that can he made
home for use in the hospitals
Women and children mast always
suffer in war. Surely, in this great
work, the women of Tift county
will not fall behind.
