IffITION MEET ENOEO
Bl GBEITEST FLIGHTS
Brisk Wind Added Touch of
Danger to Fine Work of the
Air-Men
With a grand final display of the new
power man has gained over air, Atlan
ta's aeroplane meet of three days, ar
ranged by The Atlanta Journal, came to
a elose yesterday aftrenoon at the Speed -
"way. when Ward, tn a 34-liorse power
Curtiss biplane came to the ground after
M minutes and 11 seconds of express
train speeding through the biting winds
high above the aviation field.
It was a great afternoon s work that
finished the big meet. There was wind,
and It was cold and cutting. The spec
tators and others on the ground knew
this fall woll. But if they knew it,
so did the aviators, whose work lay in
the ehllly and wind-swept reaches aloft.
For them, for the aviators, the wind
held not only discomfort, moreover. It
held danger, the possibility of a alight
turn at the wrong moment, the risk of a
sudden and awful death on the hard
ground far below. This added a test to
the afternoon's flying that no other
aviation program in Atlanta has offered.
The bleachers were almost filled by
the spectators, about five or six . thous
and of whom defied the chill of the
afternoon to see the airmen fly.
And notwithstanding the cold, it was
an enthusiastic crowd of spectators. They
cheered liberally, and were Interested
from first -to last. And that means some
thing. when their discomfort is considered
•with the further fact that there was no
music to stir their blood save that of
the aeroplanes' motors

COURT DECISION MAY
CHANGE INDORSEMENT
CINCINNATI. Dec. 17.-The circuit
court of the first Ohio district by re
versing the case of Charles I. Dreyfus
against the Union Savings Bank and
Trust company, established a precedent
which may cause every trust company
In the United States to change the
indorsement which it is customary to
place on bonds.
Dreyfus received from Holzman &
Co., who afterwards failed. six
bonds indorsed by the Union Savings
Bank and Trust company, as follpws:
"It is hereby certified that this bond
is one of the series of bonds described
in the mortgage or deed of trust with
in mentioned.”
If the decision stands the trust com
pony becomes Hable for merely Identi
fying by indorsement the security men
tioned In the deed of trust.
The Union Savings Bank and Trust
company, realising that this is a test
fase in which trust companies through
out the country are interested, will car
ry the matter to the higher courts.
FETE OF ST. CATHERINE
IS BRILLIANT EVENT
PARIS, Dec. 17.—The fete of St. Cath
erine—the presentation of bonnets to all
those work girls who have attained the
age of 25 without becoming engaged—
passed off with the usual hilarity in the
streets and workships. All day the
, ateliers in the city rang with laughtei
and aong. The "Catherlnettes" ac
cepted the bonnets, the emblems of their
innocence with a good grace
It mattered little to them that they
had reached the age which to their
younger work companions means that
they are now "on the shelf.” Despite
the cold and rain, they marched along
the boulevards wearing their bonnets,
and accepted good humoredly the jokes
made at their expense. It Is difficult
to believe that, from a matrimonial
1 point of view, all is over with many of
these SL Catherines. Several of them
could boast of really good looks. In
time, they will, no doubt, capture the
heutta of ga<»: t Frenchmen.

WAR SCARE HOOTED BY
TAFT, URGES BIG ARMY
President Allays Rumors, but
Emphasizes a Policy of
Wise Military Preparation
(fiv Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—President '
Taft, addressing the closing banquet of
the American Society of Judicial Settle
ment of International Disputes, allayed
"the so-called war scare which has >
furnished pabulum for the newspapers
during the last few days.’’ 1
He declared “there is not the slight- ]
est reason for such a sensation because
we are at peace with all the nations of
the world and are cniite likely to re- j
main so.” r |
He said his purpose in outlining the
preparedness of the United States for i
war "at a peace meeting” was to show
by contrast the great worthiness of the
movement for a permanent court of
arbitral justice and universal peace.
URGES BIG MILITARY
The president summarised the condl-.'
tion of the national defenses and urged I
that a policy of “wise military prepara-1
tion” be pursued. He emphasized the
fact that the American people never I
would consent to the maintenance of. a I
standing army sufficient to cope with I
that of thq greater powers. He urged •
the retention of the present regular 1
army, the improvement of the national,
militia, the passage pf the pending vol-.
unteer bill to go intii operation should ’
war be declared, and f.he passage of a;
law now before congress providing fori
an additional force of officers, “who ,
will be able in times of peace to ren- 1
der efficient service in drilling the militia
of the states” and finally the accumula
tion of guns and ammunition, “to equip
and arm the fore® we could collect under ,
our colors in an emergency.”
President Taft asserted that the best '
method of ultimately securing disarma- j
ment among the nations was the estab- 1
llshment of an international court, and j
the development of a code of interna- i
tional equity.

demonstration station by the government.
While the station would b e somewhat
larger than the amount indicates, the
government will b ecalled upon • to sup
ply only between $16,000 and $20,000.
The project Is something entirely new.
under the agricultural department, in I
that it will seek no general farm demon-1
stration work, but will be for the purpose |
of developing truck gardening through
out the states, and demonstrating the
methods and usages best adapted for
such development.
The bill will very probably be intro
duced by Congressman Hardwick.

ON SUBSTITUTE BUTTER
American Federation of Labor
Passes Resolution to Be
Sent to Congress
Os special interest to the farmers of
the south and especially to the cotton
planters who look with renewed Interest
upon any increased use of cotton, cot
ton seed or its by-products. Is the reso
lution recently adopted at the annual
meeting of the American Federation of
l.abor, held in St. Louis, which petition
ed congress to reduce the tax on oleo
margarine which is made of milk and
cotton seed oil.
When this resolution was Introduced.
Jerome Jones, representative of Geor
gia, was consulted because it was recog
nized that as a southern man and a res
ident of a cotton growing state, he
would be in position to appreciate its
force.
Following his indorsement the resolu
tion was adopted as follows:
Whereas. Oleomargarine is conceded
by chemists and food experts to be a
wholesome food product; and
Whereas. Existing laws discriminate
against this wholsesome food product
through a tax of 10 cents a pound when
artificially colored, the only purpose of
which is to make It appear palatable,
and
Whereas. Artificial coloring matter Is
permitted in butter and other dairy
products, which clearly establishes a
discrimination; and
Whereas. The discriminatory tax upon
oleomargarine must be paid In the main
by the poorer classes of people, and has
a tendency to Increase the price of but
ter; and
Whereas, Tne placing of a tax of 10
cents per pound on colored oleomarga
rine has rather increased than decreas
ed violations, of the law; therefore, be it
Resolved. By the American Federa
tion of I,abor, in convention assembled,
that congress be petitioned to so amend
thd oleomargarine law that a tax not ex
cededing 2 cents per pound be placed
upon the product, whether colored or
uncolored, and that a license fee not ex
ceeding six dollars ($6.00) per year be
placed upon the retailer for the privi
lege of vending oleomargarine, and that
the product be packed in one-half, one,
two and three-pound packages only, and
that the product be sold only in original
tax-paid packages.
MUCH CEMENT USED IN
CONSTRUCTION OF CANAL
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17—Some Idea of
the enormous consumption of cement in

tained dally by the mere shaking out.

the bags In which the cement is brought
to the isthmus.

The Farmers' and Planters'
Speedy Stitcher
A perfect sewing awl for sewing any heavy material. It
is just the tool for mending harness, carpets, shoes, saddles,
buggy tops, etc.
It is designed to be used by all classes; the experienced
man as well as the farmer or mechanic.
Shows One-Half Size
SIX POINTS
Wherein this tool is superior to any other on the market:
1. Everything is inside the handle.
2. No screw-driver is required to remove bobbin.
3. No wrench is required to tighten needles in the chuck.
4. Any machine needle of any size or make can be used.
5. 'lt is so constructed that the needles will not fall from
receptacles when the cap is removed. \
6. It has an automatic tension which enables you to
tighten the stitch.
The Speedy Stitcher is a thoroughly practical tool in every
respect, having within the handle a set of tools consisting of
three straight needles of varied size, one curved needle, one di
mond pointed awl, and a round pointed awl for making buck
le-holes in straps, all of which are safely secured in receptacles
by a spring, thus preventing them from being lost when cap
is removed. The needles provided have a special diamond
point which will penetrate any thickness of leather or material
with ease, yet any machine needle of any size or make can be
used. It also has a spool or bobbin in the handle to carry the
thread, and is provided with an automatic tension which
makes it impossible to draw the thread from handle when
tightening your stitch, but when needle passes through the
material it releases the tension and causes the thread to feed
automatically.
The Speedy Stitcher is a necessity. It is used by farmers,
teamsters, and many others who do their own repair work,
and by. all stitchers of heavy material. Its simplicity makes it
a practical tool for all kinds of repair work even in the hands
of the most unskilled. No practical man can afford to be with
out it. A money-saVer for the user.
