H KARST'S SUNDAY AMKKIUA.N, ATLANTA IS THE BEST EVER GIVEN Walter G. Cooper, the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Gives Praise to Newspapers for Campaign of Publicity. Major Part of Success of Affair Due to His Untiring Efforts, but He Shares Credit With Hastings and All Who Aided. who arranged the dress parade and exhibition drill for the benefit of the D °ys at Fort McPherson, and to Gov- rnor Slaton for the use of the Capi tol. - • r I C. ADAMS, of Newton County, who was a prominent vis- ^ • itor at tlie Corn Show. He founded the first Boys’ Corn Club in Dixie. Nothing but praise has been heard for the annual corn show of the boys’ corn clubs which has Just closed, and it Is the consensus of opinion that 1913 marked a distinct improvement in every particular over past shows. In the opinion of Walter G. Cooper, secretary of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, these shows would have been impossible without the hearty and generous support given by local and State papers generally. "1 want to express my appreciation for this patriotic and liberal donation of space for the dissemination of in formation concerning the corn show,” said Mr. Cooper. “The Atlanta papers have responded to every call, and managing and city editors have been unusually kind and helpful. State papers, too, have printed a great deal of valuable and helpful Information.” Credit Due to Cooper. To Mr. Cooper himself must go a major part of credit for the success of the corn show. In his capacity as sec retary of the Chamber of Commerce and ex-officio general manager of the corn show, he assumed the general executive burdens of the undertaking, with all of th^ infinite details incident thereto. He has worked day and night to make the event a success. In addition, all the executive work —an immense amount of It, too—has been done by the office force of the Chamber of Commerce. This office also attended to the securing of 800 homes for the boy visitors. As chairman of the corn show com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce, H. G. Hastings has been tireless and itlgable :n his work to maKe each show better than the last. Mr. Hastings has also been one of tne most liberal contributors, giving $500 each year. Hastings a Great Factor. Mr. Hastings personally assumed charge of the installation of the 1913 corn show, by common consent the best yet held, both in number of ex hibits and attractiveness of arrange* merits. The ministers of the city were an important factor in the work of se curing homes for the boys. Much credit is also due the Board of Edu cation. Superintendent W. M. Slaton, of the city schools; Professors Dykes and Culver, of the Boys’ High School; Miss Jessie Muse and principals of the grammar schools for co-oneration In making the parade on Thursday the best of the kind ever seen in the city. Too much can not be said about the ladies of Atlanta who hospitably opened their homes to the corn club boys. For the past three years the corn show committee of the Chamber of Commerce has been composed of the following gentlemen, who have worked with zeal and energy: H. G. Hastings, chairman: W. H. Leahv, H C, Fisher. H. E. Stockbrldge, J. E. Bodenhamer. Helped rialse Money. The following were active in rais ing money for the corn show: Wilmer L. Moore, W. L. Peel. Rob ert F. Maddox, John E.

VanOrsdale. tlflc knowledge obtained by these boys, and in some cases imparted to their fathers, the yield in Georgia has been raised many bushels to the acre. It has taken the boys to demonstrate that Georgia ran produce as much corn to the acre as any other Suite In the Union and to show the farm ers that they need not place their sole reliance on cotton.” Mr. Adams was County School Commissioner at the time he took up the Corn Club work. He later became president of the Fifth District Agri cultural and Mechanical School, and now Is farming In Newton V'uunty. Proud of Exhibit. With the remainder of the delega tion, he was extremely proud of Jhe exhibit made by Newton County. A topographical plat of the county was laid out on a large platform, and on It was arranged the boys’ exhibits, under the direction of J. J. Corley, Miss Clyde Willis, supervisor of do mestic science in the Newton County schools, and J. O. Martin, County School Superintendent. The plat showed the principal roads, and miniature houses repre sented the homes of prominent farm ers in the country districts. Toy wagons, loaded with real ears of com and attached to toy horses, were placed on the various roads. These were the boys’ exhibits, and each one was placed relatively at the home of the boy who brought it to the show. A doll sat atop each load of corn, to complete the novel representation. A card, bearing the name of the young exhibitor and his picture, was placed at the side of every wagon. Cordele Will Have A $33,000 Church CORDELE, Dec. 6—The contract for the construction of a new Baptist Church of this city, the total cost of which will be approximately. $33,000, ■was awarded to the contracting- firm of Little & Phillips, of this city, at a meeting of the church building com mittee. The bid for the church build ing proper is $24,500. The contract for heatipg and plumbing was also let to Little' & Phillips for $1,650. Contracts for seats, art glass wir ing and lighting will be awarded in about two weeks. Man Resigns $3,600 Job to Hear Sea Roar SACRAMENTO. Dec 6.—“The sound of the surf at night is worth $100 a month to me,” said Charles L. Snyder, chief examiner and secretary of the State Civil Service Commission, in an nouncing his resignation of a $3,600 job. Snyder will return to Alameda and resume work as secretary of the Pacific Division of the Federal Civil Service at $2,400 a year. He has been on leave from this position, which is a permanent one. 40 German Families To Locate in Crisp CORDELE. Dec. 6.—The Cordele Chamber of Commerce, through Sec retary Louis Spencer Daniel, is ar ranging with a colony of truck farm ers from Indiana and one from Michigan, including between 30 and 40 German families, to locate in Crisp County within five oand six miles of Cordele. Deals with these colonists have practically been closed. J. A. Ryals, a member of the Cham ber of Commerce, has gone North to make final arrangements with these immigrants and interest others in coming to Crisp County. Prince Sees Gaby; Queen Scolds Him Special Cable to The American. PARIS, Dec. 6.—The campaign in London against Gaby Deslys was or ganized by Queen Mary, it was stated to-day. The Prince of Wales went to the Palace Theater to see Gaby glide. His mother scolded the hen* to the Brit ish throne and called in the Bishops of London and Kensington and urged them to start a crusade against im morality in the music halls. The bishops obeyed the royal be hest. He Fought Ddown Opposi tion to Boy Farmers. Mr. Adams is shown judging one of the prize Father of C | ub | dea Te || s How ears of corn with which his county won so much admira tion at the great com show held last week in At lanta. Now that the Corn Club Show is ended, the persistently patriotic peo pie of Newton County have some thing more to boast about. When the last stragglers of their big delegation to the show left At lanta Saturday, they were saying that Newton County had made another record, by having the most novel and striking display at the whole show. And they were right. There was nothing else that approached it. They always are doing something down there that gives them a chance to lord it over the rest of the popula tion of Georgia. To begin with, they rigged up the first rural telephone system in the world. At least, this is their claim, and, so far as known, no one has arisen to dispute it. Get First Rural Delivery. Then, the first rural free delivery in America was tried out right down there in Newton County. Congress man Livingston generally is given the credit for obtaining this innovation. When the idea of traveling iibrar- ies for rural schools began spreading about the country, Newton County was one of the first to try it out. About this time, someone said that it would be a mighty good plan to en courage attendance in the rural schools, by providing the youngsters some way to get there besides walk ing the roads in all kinds of weather. Straightway Newton County adopted the scheme of sending a wagon around to the various homes and bringing the kldlets to school therein. But this was to be a story about the growth of the com club spirit in Newton County, so there is no time for mention of the Spring school fairs, the county oratorical*? and the standardized rural schools, in all of which movements this county pro fesses to be a pioneer. Big Newton Delegation. When young Georgians of all sizes and descriptions began pouring into Atlanta the first of last week, the del egation from Newton County was one of the largest and most enthusiastic. With the lads came G. C. Adams, father of the corn club idea in Dixie, as well as of a fine family of indus trious boys. Three of Mr. Adams’ sons accom panied him to Atlanta—Cleveland, Charles and John. Cleveland, the eld est. this year is president of the corn club that his father organized nine years ago. It was back in 1904 that Mr Adams conceived the idea of corn clubs in Georgia and thereby started some thing. The movement now has spread through the South from th^ small be ginning it had a few miles south of Atlanta. The project met with considerable opposition at first. StrangMv enough. It was the farmer*? them^elvos who opposed the formation of the clubs. Adams Tells Story. Here is Mr. Adams’ own story of his work, as he told it to The Amer ican Saturday: “Yes, sir. I certainly did have some trouble before I got the club going smoothly. I encountered objections from the least expected sources—■ from the farmers themselves. The idea was so new that they could not understand at the time how one could mix ‘book learning’ and actual farm ing. Neither did they like the idea of working the corn separately from the other crops. They did not take kindly to the modern svstem of fertilizing, and were inclined to ridicule the whole plan. “These few that held out against what they called the ‘newfangled’ methods? were able to offer quite a little discouragement for a while, but as soon as we were organized and be gan to get results the opposition faded. Now the whole county is en thusiastic over corn raising on a scl ent ifife basis. Yields Are Increased. “The great benefits that the move ment has brought are most manifest in the magically Increased yields all over the State.

M- 156 1 No Matter Where You Start to Consider I a Motorcycle Purchase — if you investigate — if you study values carefully — you are almost sure to base your final judgment on one of the two machines reproduced on this page. The $225 Indian embodies a margin of motorcycle worth beyoftd competi tion. The Two-Sixty Model (lower illustration) with full electric equipment and Corbin-Brown Speedometer at $260.00, is an accomplishment that may be dupli cated some time in the future—but which for the present time must go on record as the greatest motorcycle value in the world. For thirteen years the Indian organization has been keenly alert to test and develop every possible device which made for the improvement of the motorcycle. From their farsightedness and sound judgment has evolved a series of unparalleled achievements in the perfection of the motorcycle which are embodied in MOTOCYCLES FOR 1914 The twin cylinder motor was the product of Indian en-gineering skill. It was used success fully for the first time on Indian models. The fact that the Twin motor is today practically standard on all makes of motorcycles is suffi cient testimony to its worth. As the originators and largest manufactur ers of this type of motor the Indian engineering staff is in a position to best understand its intri cate mechanical problems and to produce a motor that is markedly in advance for power output in proportion to weight, rapidity of ac celeration and capacity for hard work. Folding footboards are another of the many Indian originations. Their comfort and con venience brought them instant popularity. They are now considered an indispensable part of motorcycle equipment. The greatest sensation in motorcycle devel opment last year was the Indian Cradle Spring Frame. This remarkable feature was devel oped exclusively by the Indian. It has never been successfully imitated and stbnds today the greatest device for insuring the rider absolute comfort and total absence of vibration on even the roughest roads. In addition to the retained features and in cluding electric equipment, there are 38 Better ments in 1914 Indian models, improvements which make the Indian more than ever the pre-eminent motorcycle. Write for the new illustrated Indian catalog. It pictures and describes in detail the “38 Betterments” in 1914 models. It will help you to a fuller appreciation of the im provements and equipment to which you are entitled when buying a 1914 motorcycle. HENDEE MANUFACTURING COMPANY, Springfield, Mass.
