Grain Notes The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “Sentiment among grain traders last night was mostly bearish and only a few traders were able to see any good on the buying side. Some, however, said that with any further break to day they would be inclined to buy for a rally, as sentiment is getting too unani mously bearish. “Bulls who were found last night said they thought that the selling had been overdone, and believed that the long side was the safe one on wheat and corn. A good, many of the oats spe cialists are bearish, the talk about Ca nadian imports seeming to have w-eight with professionals. “The Government’s October crop re port will be Issued Thursday.

THE BEST Want Ad days in The At lanta Georgian are Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday. Friday and Sat urday. On Sunday read them in Hearst’s Sunday American Try them aJl. The results will surprise you. The climate is such that far mers do not have to house stock during the winter, there being good grazingtheentire year. For raising cattle and stock Georgia offers greater inducements than can be found elsewhere. The soil is suited for almost anything that grows and can be utilized the entire year. The prices at which good farm land can be purchased at present in Georgia are so low that it is a matter of comment — some thinking that the land is not so good as stated. The land is good, but there are thousands of acres that are now lying idle and the good people of Georgia are anxious for good farmers tocomeamongthem. Consequently the land is cheaper here than elsewhere.

It would only be a wild guess now to say who will win the first fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership Certificates to the Atlanta Pedalmobile Racing Club. These Cer tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and events to be held in the near future. Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting to the parents as well as the children. These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In some cities carrier boys who have w r on Pedalmobiles may be seen distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any boy or girl who is fortunate enough to win one. These cars are now on exhibition in the window of O. C. Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor lee Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd- and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice the “Georgian Flyer” in the window. OUTSIDE WORKERS.
