ROGER SW1NT TO ADDRESS EDUCATORS IN MACON STATE COUNCILOR TO VISIT JUNIOR ORDER TONIGHT Prio. »., of F.irburn, Gue.t At A Die i Ceremonie. Dr. N. B. Collins, of Fairburn, State Councilor of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, will pay an official visit to the Milledge- ville council this Thursday evening. April 9th. A supper will bfe served in honor of Dr. Collins before the ceremonies and degree work is begun. Dr. Collins is one of the outstand ing leader? of the fraternity in the state and is well known here.

The old time ministrel element of the program was absent and slap-stick was for gotten and the larger orchestra of other years was no k a feature. In stead the Bull-dog orchestra of five members presented features unusual in instrumental work, for in addition to saxophones, banjo, guitar, drums and piano, the vibraphone and other accessory instiuments added unusual interest Ralph Kosenzweig, Savan nah boy in his first year at college, was a member of the orchestra, did the solo parts in two numbers, and was also a member of the quartet and of the chorus. In place of the old blackface comic skit a character skit was presented which elicited much applause, “As Men See Women" done by four boys of whom another Savannah boy, “Sappy” Morcock, was a* leading member, as he was also of the “bal let” which brought down the house. The choral work was above the usual college music of this class and soloists, piano, violin, and vocal were far above the usual concert num bers of professionals, both as to quality and sweetness of tone and voice and in the delicate and effec tive execution. The whole program was entirely worthy of the greatest university Georgia now claims, in its dignity and good taste, in the execution, and and piano, the i in the wellrounded make-up of the program of such variety.

Accompanying ttye collfcgians to Milledgeville for this special per- lormance will be Chancellor and Mrs. C. M. Sncllmg, Dean ‘and Mrs. S. V. Hanford, and Mrs. Hugh Hodgson, in addition to Mr. Hodgson and his out standing organization of college boys. The University Glee Club comes Milledgeville after a most suc cessful tour of South Georgia and a gala posr-lental appearance at the Eilangor Theater, Atlanta. While on through South Georgia and Atlanta and Rome, the Glee club was entertained by Alumni and friends of the institution. All re viewers of the performance were unanimous in their opinion that the present organization Ss the best de veloped Glee Club in the South. For the perforance in Miiledgc- ville, Hugh Hodgson, director and outstanding pianist and composer of the South, has agreed to appear on the program with both piano and organ selections. This fact alone will be of interest to all music lov- and will draw a Urge audience to the auditorium Monday night when the Glee club appears for the second time in the pact five years. E. A. Lowe, faculty director, in an interview, stated that the day of the old “slap stick” comedy has given away to popular demands for high class entertainment.

Farmers have entered enthusi astically into the plan and gardens have been planted with the view of having a large amount of fresh pro duce ready when the market is open ed. It is believed that more than fifty farmers will have supplies on the market when it is opened. The sn'sial 'string committee has been Busy with investigations into all phases of the market ana definite steps are now in progress to have everything ready to swing the doors open for the first market day about May 1st The idea that the furmers will di rect their entire time to truck farm ing has been discounted by a state ment from Mr. Langley in which he urged farmers to live at home frst and to bring their surplus to the market. Figures were given out by the com mittee that revealed the fact that practically one million dollars worth of produce that could be raised in the county was imported into the county last year. It is the hope of those interested in the market that the farmers may be able to keep a part of this money in the county. is now certain that the market will be opened early in May and Mr. Langley has notified the farmers of these plans so that they may make their plans accordingly.

The radiator was still sealed and when the seals were broken,* a half pint of water was neces?ary to fill :ar. The oil was drained and it was found that three quarts, one and one-half pints still remained of the six quarts that were put in before :nr was sealed, or two quarts, one and one-half pints of oil had been used by the car. The ga*. consump tion proved that the car* had averag ed better than twenty-two miles to the gallon. The drive started last Tuesday at eleven o'clock, and although rain and cold weather prevailed during most of the time, the Dare Devil went through in fine style. Mr. Jordan expressed great satis faction in the drive. The petitions set out that the rates prescribed by the public service com mission, which-now are in effect for the various communities named, have been given a fair trial and that they have produced little if any return upon the value of the property used and useful ir: rendering service with natural gas.
