This center shot is from the Phila
delphia Record: ‘““The New York
Sun remarks that ““Mr. Taft hits the
nail on the head when he says that
the ugly complication with Mexico is
the result of a series of mistakes, the
greatest of which is unpreparedness”
Mr. Taft was president tor about two
and a half years after the series of
revolutions in Mexico began, and at
one time the situation was so threat
ening that he massed the greater
part of our army along the Mexican
border. And yet William Howard
Taft did nothing for preparedness.
The army and navy remained as they
were. If the country is now unpre
pared for war more responsibility
rests on Mr. Taft than on Mr. Wil
s n.”
" THE 4th IN MARIETTA.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock the D. A.
R. were in charge of patriotic exer
cises suitable for the day. Dr. S. Y.
Jameson pronounced the invocation,
Mr. John M. Graham introduced the
speaker Mr. Chas. Haden, of Atlanta,
in a very felicitous little talk. Mr.
Haden spoke especially to the far
mers who were present on prepared
neas in raising the right things on
their farms in the best way.
Mrs. C. P. Stephens was at the or
gan and all joined in singing ‘“Amer
ica,”” before the speech and *“‘Star-
Spangled Banner’ at the close.
Mrs. C. M. Crosby also made a lit
tle speech about the U. S. flag and
explained that through the influence
of Col. Scott, of Atlanta, with the
G. A. R, good U. 8. flags would be
presented to the colored school in
Marijetta, to the A. & M. School at
Macland, to the Olive Spring and
to the Locust Grove scliools.
The D. A. R. and the U. D. C. then
joined the all-day singers in “‘On
ward, Christian Soldiers.”
A great many people came in from
the country and spent the day in
the park, where picnic lunches were
enjoyed. There were many young
couples strolling around who seem
ed to be “with love's first wonderful
rapture blest."’ 4

A THRESHING PARTY
NEAR SMYRNA.
About ten a. m. last Friday Mr.
Jim Delk stopped in front orf the
Journal office in one of his fine, higl.-
stepping automobiles and askea us if
we would like to go with him to see
a little old Ford roadster thiesn a
load of wheat, Like the darkey whe
said “Yessir—who dat?” in repiy to
a proposal of marriage over the
phone, we said ‘““To be sure, how far
is it from town?"
Mr. Delk was not sure—not cven
which direction to take in order to
catch up with is uncle, Mr. R. D.
Delk, who has threshed 48 crops of
wheat within a week's time witn a
threshing machine to which he at
taches his little auto built for two
So we took our “boss man” and
joined Mr. Delk and Mr. H. B. Clay
in the new car and went out the Ros
well' road where we met a teamster
on a load of straw who said the
wheat thresher was near Smyrna.
We then meandered through the
wourds and down the road until we
came to Mr. T. J. Williams’ farm in
time to see the threshing. The big
red’ machine stood under the two cak
trees hetween the new barn in which
the sheaves of wheat had been stored
and the old barn into which the
straw was to be stored.
The hood over the little Ford's
vitals had been removed, a bhiz can
for water had been attached to the
radizator, the right front wheel had
been slightly ‘“‘backed” like a cow's
leg at milking time, and a long leath
er belt run from the threshing mach
ine to the power attachment c¢u the
auto front which Mr. Delk has re
cently patented. Mr. R. D. Del< was
assisted by a black Hercules in blue
overalls in steadying the gasoline
steed with blocks and pegs of hard
wood and adjusting the lonz bait
while several men and boys brought
the bundles of wheat to the machine.
When it began to hum the boys, from
a bald-headed neighbor to a bare.
fcot boy of 10 or 12, worked with
frantic haste to supply sheavos us
fast as two men could feed them ~l‘o
the machine. Others held half
bushel measures to catch the wheat
while two more raked the shining
straw into the small barn. Mr. Clay
and the Journal man stood near with
open watches and, as the Ford hun
med merrily, announced that a hush
el of wheat had been threshed in 2
seconds. Mr. Jim Delk smilel and
said: “The Ford could go faster bt
the threshing machine is running at
its highest speed.”
The black and blue hostler car
essed the little roadster with giances
of pride and poured water into the
radiator’'s can. The sun twhone
brightly and the wind blew steadilv,
It was an ideal day for threshing
wheat,
Mr., Williams’ mother came out
to see the performance and Mr. Clay,
who is a miller, was fully convinced
that every farmer needs one of Mr.
Delk’s attachments to his Ford.
Mr. H. C. Hudgins, who lives at
Smyrna, Las been using one of tnis
attachments for a year to r.p all
kinds of farm machinery and alvo to
haul things in the auto uuck to
which it is attached. ,A 3 wv.2 sat in
tlhe swing on a front porch and saw
three farmers drive by wirl o tine
mules and a beautiful horse, we
thenght the days of these dorasstie
anmals are numbered.. Macbinery
~an endure so much more than flish
ind blood of any kind.
We saw a humming-bir! at a ¢ r
azr of the vine-shaded porch, broods
of chickuns of all ages aud wcie
deeply interested in the frycis peck
ing daintily in the grass.
It is the time when lilies blow and
THE MARIATTA JOURNa.L AND COORIER
clouds are highest up in air. On
every veranda we passed there were
flowers growing. Many superb piak
hydrangeas especially and in the
yards we noticed petunias, phlox ana
verbena in masses of color.
Mrs. W. L. Richardson’'s lawn is
quite -festive with companies of gay
lilies dancing in the breeze and or
several lawns we noticed those sweet
est and dearest of grandmotherly
trees, the mimosa, now in full bloon:.
Along the road side May-pops
adorn the green weeds with the;r
lovely color and everywhere is grow -
ing the snowy lace handkerchief and
clusters of brown-eyed Susans. No
wonder all the boys who cannot en
list in the army are trying to get a
day off to go fishing and loafirz
where woods are green. A LLC
