High Class Agents
Any kind of salesman or agent is not good enough. .
Don’t deceive yourself with the belief that you can safely
say “experience unnecessary,” unless you are prepared to
worry with inexperience-—unless you are willing to try out
ten agents for the purpose of securing one.
Having reached the proper state of mind, write a “Salesman
Wantad” or “Agents Wanted” ad that will appeal to the
@ Detter tclass of house-to-house salesmen—those who will
make money for you and money for themselves.
Then consider this: The Daily Peorgflan's circulation is
more than 52,000, each week day, 'The Sunday American’'s
over 82,000. These flgures mean circulation that produces
. results for advertisers.
And remember this: The Georgian and American are
known as newspapers that furnish high-class applicants
for those who conduct their business through salesmen and
agents.
The next and final move is to send or mail your ad to
The Georglan - American

The climax to the fight for cus
tody of pretty 3-year-old Mildred
Dean came Friday in a dramatic
scene In Judge George L. Bell's di
vision of Superior Court, when Judge
Bell took the little girl from the
mother, Mrs. Sadie Dean, of No. 195
Ivy street, accused of kidnaping her
two weeks ago in an automobile, and
restored her to Mrs. Dean’s parents
in-law, Mr. and Mrs. J. W, Dean, of
No. 137 Walton street, pending final
disposition of the child in divorce pro
ceedings now pending between the
younger Mys. Dean and her husband.
Weeping convulsively, the young.
mother clung to the golden-haired
child and rained kisses on it as her
tears moirtened its face. Frightened
by the stirring emotions of the moth
er, little Mildred, too, cried vigorous
ly as she tightly elasped her chubby
arms about the mother's neck and
held on tenaciously.
Young Mother Sobs.
“Judge, please let me keep her—
she wants to stay with me—please
don't take her away,” sobbed the
young woman.
A few moments more and® Mildred
was In the arms of her grandmother,
Mrs. J. W. Dean, and was taken from
the courtroom back to the Walton
street home, where she had lived for
the last year, up to the time she was
spirited away in the auto by the
‘mother,
Judge Bell ordered that Mrs. Sadie
iDean be permitted to see the little
girl at any time she may choose, and
!Instructed her to report immediately
to the court any refusal on the part
;ot Mr. and Mrs. J. W, Dean to com
{ply with this order.
‘ The restoring of the child to its
grandparents followed the charge by
'Attorney Leonard J. Grossman, for
‘Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dean, that
Mildred previously had been taken in
charge by the juven.le court in Bir
mingham and had been awarded to
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dean, after the
‘mother had left there,
Divorce to Decide Custody.
“I am not making final disposition
of the child, but simply am restoring
it to its former status prior to the
3ttme it was spirited away from the
grandparents by the mother, The
final award will be made when the
divorce action ia decided,” explained
Judge Bell.
He further remarked that ordina
rily he gave disputed children to the
‘mothér, as he considered the mother
the proper person to care for them.
He also told the Young mother that
l"lt someone else had one of hig chil
dren, he didn't know but what he
would steal it, too, if he couldn’t get
it any other way."”
Young Mrs. Dean begged that she
be allowed to keep Mildred over
night, but the request was declined,
Judge Bell remarked that “as she
had spirited away the girl once, he
didn‘t feel like risking her.”

On the heels of the announcement of a sweeping victory for
the Allies in Macedonia, where the Bulgars are in flight after their
line had been smashed, comes the report that the British are now
dealing the Germans in France the heaviest blow they have suffered
since the first day of the great drive.
The mighty smash of the British has been under way all day
and has swept forward, according to the official announcement
made in London, over a four-mile front along the Akbert-Bapaume
highway to a depth of from one to two miles.
The town of Flers, only four miles south of Bapaume, was cap
tured Friday afternoon, according to a dispatch from Frederick
Palmer. The correspondent of The London Daily News wires that
the German third line of defense has been broken. The presumption
is that the offensive is still under way.
Gains announced by the French War Office indicate that the
fall of Combles and then Peronne, which towns are key defenses of
the German line, is only a matter of days. The French drove for
'ward, extending their pcsitions to the southwest of Combles and to
the north of Peronne, and both towns are now in ‘‘pockets’’ and
‘lare subject to attack from three sides. .
