mURST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA. GA., SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1913.
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.
Nothing 1 but praise has been hear!
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 Q. 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.
I 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 de il
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 the 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
Indefatigable in his work to maKe
each show better than the last. Mr.
Hastings has also been one of ine
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
ments.
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-operation
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. Leahy,
H 0. Fisher, H. E. Stockbridge, J. E.
Bodenhamer.
Helped Raise 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. Murphy, H.

thanks for the assistance so freely
P-ven in connection with the show
this year to the following:

40 German Families
To Locate in Crisp
CORDELK. 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 betw’een 30 and
40 German families, to locate in Crisp
County within five oand six miles of
Cordeie. 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.
Fair To Be Feature
At Drainage Meet
SAVANNAH, Dec. 6.—A plan to
have a First District Fair, something
like the State Fair in Macon, was
launched by the Chamber of Com
merce and the Boosters’ Club to-day,
with the result that the necessary
finances have already been raised and
a site selected.
It will be held some time in the
spring, w’h^n the/ Drainage Congress
will meet in Savannah.
‘Ben-Hur’ Breaks
Attendance Record
All records for attendance at the
Atlanta Theater were smashed yes
terday afternoon at the matinee at
the seventh performance of Ben Hur.
Every seat in the big theater was oc
cupied. Many spectators stood back
of the seats on each floor.
Previous to yesterday’s performance
the record for the Atlanta was held
jointly by Maude Adams and Billie
Burke. But no such crowd has ever
packed the house at a matinee as that
which saw “Ben-Hur.”
When it is considered that the spec
tacle.had been here a week, the rec
ord becomes really wonderful. It was
also the fourth week of the show in
Atlanta during its fourte-e- years on
the road.
Wife Gets Her Child

MERIDIAN, MISS., Dec. 6.—Mrs. A.
P. Miles, a promin.nt woman, who

furnishing bond until the Supreme
Court passes on the case.

tiflc 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 can produce as much
com to the acre as any other State
In the Union and to show the farm
ers that they need not place their sole
reliance «.n 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 bounty.
Proud of Exhibit.
With the remainder of the delega ;
tion, he was extremely proud of the
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 Sui>erintendent.
The plat showed the principal
roads, and miniature houses repre
sented the homes of prominent farm
ers in the country districts. Toy
Father of Club Idtjjj Tells How
He Fought Ddown Opposi
tion to Boy Farmers.
Now that the Corn Club Show’ is
ended, the persistently patriotic peo
ple 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 »he 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 librar
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.
Straight way New ton County adopted
the scheme of sending a wagon
around to the various homes and
bringing the kidlets to school therein.
But this was to he a story about
the growth of the corn club spirit in
Newton County, so there is no time
for mention of the Spring school
fairs, the county oratoricals and the
standardized rural schools, in all of
which movements this county pre-
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 com
club that his father organized nine
years ago.
It w’as back in 1904 that Mr. Adams
conceived the idea of com clubs in
Georgia and thereby started some
thing. The movement now’ has snread
through the South from the small be
ginning it had a few miles south of
Atlanta.
The project met with considerable
opposition at first. Strangely enough,
it was the farmer" themselves who
opposed the formefion 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 system 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 sci
entific 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. Just from the scien-

No Matter Where You Start to Consider
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 beyond 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
The twin cylinder motor was the product of
Indian engineering 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 stands 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.
