TODAY LONGEST
DAY IN THE YEAR
It is the Summer Solstice When
Hie Sun is at Its Greatest
Distance from Equator
Anderson people will have little ex
ruse to plead to their various mini
sters if tlit-j fail to go to church to
day. I il.owise they will be hard put
to ft!??' excuses for failing to Jo any
thing that Is required of them today
bui iusj tiny will not be able to plead,
that threatdbare excuse about not
h i vi ne; tune. The explanation '.A that
they w.ll have more time on their
hunt!.'. Ifduy than any day during the
yee.- Incense this is the longest day of
tn1* year.
The nun will rise at 4..?4 a. m., and
will not set until 7.27 p. m.. making
the day 14 hours and fifty minutes
long
This is the summer solstice, which
means the time when the sun ls at
its greatest distance in the north from
the equator. There are two solstices
each year-tho summer and winter.
Tho former, when the suns seems to
enter the tropic of cancer, is on
June 21, the longest day; the latter
solstice is when the sun enters the
tropic of capricorn. on December 22,
Hie shortest day of the year. This
is only to be understood as applying
to the northern h?misph?re, how
ever, as In the southern the sun's en
trance Into capricorn makes the sum
mer solstice, and Into cancer the win
ter solstice.
World's Darkest Moment.
Thc darkest moment is said to be
Just before dawn. This ls now dis

moment, relatively speaking, is when
the noonday Bun shines. Then it ls
that. living tbingB on the earth are
blinded by the dazzle of tho sun and
fail to recognize the light that never
falls out in space.

Some, Interesting Details of Our Plant
The Process of Bottle Washing and Rinsing.
All empty bottles go through, in automatic revol /aig pockets, a large steam heated soaker, filled with a
solution of caustic soda and water, sufficient time to clean the hoi ties and destroy any germs. From
there they are inverted on automatic rapid revolving bristle brushes, which thoroughly brushes the
inside of each bottle and at the same time streams of clear water under full pressure are shot up into
th'3 bottles, then they pass, with neck downward, into automatic cup conveyers, and are rinsed six
Limes before they reach the bottling machine.
WATER- SYR UPS-CROWNS
We use City water, passing first through one of the best filters to the carbonate!*, thence through pres
sure hose to bottling machine. ...
Syrups-are tripled strained into porcelain line(d containers, and from thence conveyed through closed
pipe to bottling machine.
We use only NEW CROWNS; throw away the used ones-^don't return them to us. We do not use
second hand Crowns.
Floors are concreted in and outside, and flushed wi th water daily.
The most fastidious consumers who visit our bott ling-plant will satisfy themseves that our beverages
are ?ean, pure and wholesome.
There is no admission fee to our up-to-date and modern equipped bottling plant. We would be
glad to have every dealer and consumer pay us a visit, and let us show you through one of the most
sanitary soft drink bottling plants in this part of the South, -T~
