Big Demonstration of Fordson Tractor Will Be Made Here farmers Urged to Come to Dalton Next Week and Witness Dem onstration and Hear Talk Paul B. Fite, local dealer for the Fordson tractors and implements built especially for the Fordson'tractor, an nounces a big Fordson tractor and im plement demonstration in Dalton on Monday and Tuesday, November 7th and 8th. Representatives of the Ford Motor company, manufacturers of the Fordson tractor, David T. Bussey, -of Atlanta, authorized Fordson implement distributor, Oliver Chilled Plow works, Roderick Lean Mfg. Co., Sover Mfg. & Enfe. Co., and other implement manu facturers, all of whom manufacture equipment designed especially for use with the Fordson tractor, will be here to assist in the demonstration. Plows of different types, harrows, culti-packers, ditchers, grain drills, grist mills and feed grinding mills, in cluding corn and alfalfa grinders, and other belt driven equipment will be shown giving hundreds of farmer's from this and surrounding counties a con crete example of the manifold use^ of the Fordson tractor in the economic operation of the farm. The demonstra tion will be very complete, and every piece of equipment will be fully ex plained by. factory experts. As a means of reducing labor costs and to show the new possibilities of farming in this section by the use of Fordson tractors and improved farm machinery which automatically reduce labor costs the demonstration will cer tainly prove to be the most impressive from an agricultural standpoint that has been witnessed in this section. In addition to the farm machinery display ' several manufacturers will send soil and other experts to lecture on Fordson farming and its economic advantages. An interesting and edu cational lecture will be given on cor rect seed preparation. This lecture will be illustrated by stereopticon slides and moving picture films. These slides and films will show specially pre pared test tubes, filled with different grades of soils, clearly illustrating the difference in a correctly prepared seed bed and one which is incorrectly pre pared. In the moving picture films you actually see the corn sprout, take root and-grow from the time the seed is planted under the soil in both types of seed beds. You can see the moisture rise, and reach the seed more quickly in the correctly prepared seed bed, and as soon as the moisture reaches the seed things begin to happen. The seed planted in the correctly prepared seed bed germinates and growth starts eight days in advance of the seed planted in the incorrectly' prepared seed-bed. You see the roots begin to sprout down ward followed later by the top sprout pushing upward and through the soil. The slides and films give a visible lesson in the proper preparation of the soil for all crops and the lecture which accompanies them is said to be the most striking on advanced agricul ture ever heard in the South. Weath er conditions permitting, the slides and pictures will be shown in 4he open, and the faifeous Magna vox Telemegaphone (Continued on last page.) 1 MADDOG BIT CHILDREN OF RIVERBEND SECTION iRS.

The Neosho plan of stimulating bus iness and promoting a closer co-opera tion between town and county win, ih all probability, be adopted by Dalton merchants—this was decided at the meeting of the Dalton Merchants’ and Business Men’s association last Thurs day night, and C. P. Hannah, W. C. McGhee and J. S. Thomas were named as a committee to consider the matter and make some recommendation at the meeting Thursday night of this week. This plan got its name from having started in Neosho, Mo., and it has been used with excellent results in many places. The plan is to have auctions on certain days, at which the farmers can bring in anything they have for sale and have it sold for them. Also there are big bargain days, where special committees see that the advertised ar ticles are real bargains; another feat ure is to send crowds of merchants ont into the various sections to become better acquainted with the people in the country. If the plan is adopted by Dalton mer chants, someone thoroughly acquaint ed with it will be brought here to ex plain all the details, and The Citizen will carry more information about it later. 1 G.

LATIMER HOLLINGSWORTH DIED IN SILVER CITY, N. M. Prominent and Popular Young Dalton Resident Died After Brave Fight—Was Lieutenant in Aviation—Body Being Brought Here Joseph Latimer Hollingsworth, aged 24 years, died Saturday morning at Silver City, N. M., news of the death of this popular young resident causing decided sorrow here. Mr. Hollings worth went west in January of this year in an effort to regain his health; but his dbndition was such that he failed to show improvement, gradually growing weaker until the end came last Saturday. While his death has been expected for some time, the news brought a shock to his hosts of friends here. As a young boy, he came here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Hol lingsworth, in 1907 from Atlanta, and was educated in the schools of this city. When the world war - came on, he enlisted in the aviation branch of the service, and was commissioned a lieu tenant, being stationed for the greater part of the time at the Texas aviation field; but he was mustered out of the srevice in San Diego, Cal., returning home. After the war, he was connected with the Retail Credit company, and was stationed at Denver, Colo., and later in Salt Lake City, Utah, and afterward in Atlanta. His health breaking, he was forced to quit the work, and just before going west, on January 18, 1921, he was mar ried to Miss Margaret Brown, of Knox ville, Tenn., whose father, during his lifetime, was a member of the faculty of the University of Alabama. The wedding was the culmination of a ro mance which had its beginning during the war. She. went with him to Silver City. N. M., and was at his bedside at* his death. The body is expected to reach here tonight, and funeral services will be conducted from*the home on Selvidge street at 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon. The body will fee taken to Atlanta Fri day morning, for interment. Dr. F. K. Sims will conduct tb£ service, and will* accompany the family to Atlanta. Aside from his parents and his wife, Mr. Hollingsworth is survived by three sisters, Mrs. William Jones, of Lancas ter, Pa.; Misses Helen and Adele Hol lingsworth, of this city. Mr. Hollingsworth «vas a member of St. Mark’s Episcopal church here. He was also a member of the Masonic fra ternity. An honorary escort of Dalton Masons will meet the body here. Although a young man, Mr. Hollings worth had earned the love and respect of the people of Dalton, who grieve his death as a personal loss.
