The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLV. United States Tire News. A successful motorist whose car j has been stuck in the mud does not always have to fall back on a pair of mules to get free. For such an emergency the United States Tire Company offers some ; suggestions that have proved very valuable. The first calls for having stored away somewhere in the car a stack of old newspapers. When the car gets stuck and the wheels reluse to take hold, feed in some ■ of the old papers between the tires and the mud. Usually only a few will have to be worked in before the wheels will begin toj grip and the car start forward.! This method of handling a difficult situation is simple and so uniform ! ly successful, that every motorist should know of it and carry a pile of old newspapers, unless he is equipped with some other appa ratus for such a contingency. Here is the other method sug gested by the United States Tire Company: Put the car in low, and if you cannot feed the gas with your foot evenly, so that the wheels will revolve slowly, put your emergency brake on. Do not put it on so that the wheels will not revolve at all, but tightly enough to .veep them from revolv ing rapidly. With the wheels turning slowly, the maximum pull is delivered to them by having the car in low gear, and so long as they turn slowly they can get the benefit of the tremendous power. It is not always wise to fill the hole wuth stones or bricks, for their rough edges are hard on tires. Small branches of trees are better, as they offer much better tractive space. Should this method, fail, quite often a slight push that would not much more than move a baby buggy will furnish just the added amount of power necessary to get the car going.

M. U. of Georgia held in Atlanta, No vember 1918, a campaign whs be gun to raise $15,000 tor a kinder garten and Normal Training school for Central China, to be located at Shanghai, under direction of Miss F. Catharine Bryan, who had her training for this work in Atlanta. Miss Bryan is the eldest daught er of Dr. and Mrs. Bryan, mission aires, and was born in Chingkiang, China, June 18, 1886. Her life has been spent among the Chinese and she understands the workings of the oriental mind as no Ameri can reared girl could. Miss Bryan saw the possibilities of the work, first, in the heart of the child at its most impressiona ble age, before sin and supersti tion had hardened and spoiled it; second, in reaching through the child the home and the hearts of the parents; third, in reaching the girls who act as teachers and as sistants, the mothers to be of the next generation, and training them to go out and establish kinder gartens and schools all over the land. She says: “I believe that the salvation of a people rests with their children. I am con vinced that the greatest open door to the hearts of the Chinese is through the Christian training of their little ones.” Needs More schools, more churches, more Bible homes. It is chiefly through the mission schools that the women of China have been reached and their condition bet tered. Haying been trained for the kindergarten and normal work, Miss Bryan is waiting for equip ment. While some equipment has been provided, the greatest need is a building. I The high school graduates are i waiting. They must be trained to do effective work and they are so i anxious for it that we lost three of our most promising girl gradu ates to the splendid Methodist Training School in Foochow last ! year. Our present staff of native teachers is both inadequate and I unfit for the demands of the work. McDonough, Georgia. Friday, july 4, 1919. Sacred Harp Singing One of Best Ever. With the exception of the first Sacred Harp singing ten years ago, well remembered as the big “warehouse dinner” occasion, that of last Sunday at the court house , was perhaps the largest in the history of that popular organiza tion. Automobiles filled every avail able space around the public square, overflowing to other park ing places, and the court room was thronged beyond even stand ing capacity, and the singing as usual was all that could be de sired by lovers of this splendid old music. Numbers of prominent singers were present, among whom was Hon. Joe James of Douglasville, the well known author and law yer, and he was given special welcome by numerous friends and admirers. An abundant and tempting bas ket dinner was spread in the park, after enjoyment of which, exercises were resumed in the afternoon and continued with absorbing interest to the hour of adjournment. All in all it was one of the best singings yet held, and the pro moters are justly gratified at its all round success. Mr. I. P. Rosser, the well known splendid leader, was honored with re election as president for the tenth consecutive time, together with the other regular efficient officers. PROGRESS NEWS NOTES.

Buy a Souther Circus Ticket: An Airplane Will Visit Country. Word has been received from Souther Field that its ticket de partment for the great aerial cir cus and field day to be held July 12th, is fully organized. They are prepared to dish out the paste boards at 50' each to the palpi tating public. Advance sales are already coming in, and arrange ments are being made for a local salesman in every town within reach of f he camp. The following inducement has been offered to every town within a radius of seventy-five miles of Souther Field to buy tickets in advance. As soon as the local agent has sold seventy-five tickets in advance and will notify the Commanding Officer of Souther Field of the fact, an airplane will be sent to that community; if there is a suitable landing field, the ship will land. At any rate it will give demonstrations of flving and stunt ing over the city and in each and every twon where the ship lands, the holder of a ticket will be en titled to leave a letter with the selling agent, addressed anywhere in the United States. These let ters will be taken up by the visit ing ship and started on their way by airplane mail, notification to j that effeot being iqade on the let ter.
