THE PATRIOTIC RALIiV. Meeting Wat* Real Incentive to Patri otism and Ix)Vo of Country. Tho patriotic rally held In Wal halla last Thursday was quite a sue- j cess, though not as many out-of-town people wore present as it was hoped would join in the celebration. This was not a surprise, however, for the day was an ideal ono, all farm work ls badly behind, every hour of tinio counts in tbe preparation of crops and soil, and those who had work to ho done were right to stay with it. The auditorium of the Walhalla High School was well filled, however, tho gallery being occupied by colored people, the main auditorium being reserved for the white people. Some splendid speeches were made by R. T. Jaynes, Esq., Harry R. Hughs, Esq., Mayor W. M. Brown, Wade C. Hughs, Esq., and others. Ellison Smith, Clifton Cobb and Miss Annie Strutton were on the program for an oration, tho reading of the Ride of Paul Revere and a recitation, their parts adding greatly to the oc casion. W. J. Thomas, colored, teacher of the colored school of Walhalla, was Invited to the stand and made a sound and patriotic talk, in which he called attention to what "The Flag" had done for the colored race and what the colored people had done In serving "Tho Flag." He closed his remarks with the statement that there had never been a negro traitor to the American Mag, and that he, as an humble representative of the ne gro race, bespoke the loyal support of the 7.000.000 colored population in the ralslnu: of the army of soldiers and the army of workers in the cause of raising more food supplies. The big American flags that ap peared here and there along the line of march were cheered lustily and heartily. The Court House flag was taken down and carried in the parado by two mon, and on its return to the Court House was raised in the pres ence of a large crowd of people. A gun salute was fired, the flag was cheered, and the crowd returned to the school building, where the day's exercises were concluded. Death of Mrs. R. A. Sanders. Newry.

Coin-Operated Soda Fountain, An automatic soda fountain has been patented by a resident of Hous ton, Texas, which is operated merely liv dropping the proper coin into a slot. Contained in an attractive wooden cabinet are three tanks, one filled with syrup, another with enr bonlc-acid gas, and a third, which is surrounded with iee, is Ulled with water. There is also a container filled with paraffined eu ps. When a coin Is dropped into the slot it re leases three delecately balanced le vers, one after the other. The first allows a cup to drop from the con tainer into an opening, where it is within reach of the customer, and be neath two spouts. When tho coin passes the next lover lt releases a spring-operated apparatus that al lows tho proper amount of syrup to flow down Into the cup. The third lever operates in the same manner a* tho second and allows a liitle leas than a cupful of Iced carbonated wa ter to flow into the cup. In this way tho drink is properly mixed in a san itary way and supplied to the cus tomer without human aid. lt is not well o plant cabling'.' or irish potatoes on the same land for many years in succession, as tho soil will becomo infested with diseases that aro difllcult to ?radicato. Helps Farmers To Meet Present Need For Big Food Crop Simple Jobson Method and Re markable New Plow Being Used to do Late Plowing and Prepare Land Better for Emergency. That the farmers of the South and Middle West are taking full advan tage of Hie hurry up call for moro food crops is perfectly apparent to tho close Observer. On all sides we see ground be ing broken for corn, potatoes and the like thai was not intended for cultiva tion this year, and thousands of fanners are planning second crops, soy beans, turnips, late corn, etc., in answer to the appeal of American leaders and the undeniable evidence not only of enor mously better prices, but also of the national need and necessity for every man to do his duty. Late spring conditions and wet lands have added to tho difficulties, but these are being met in many localities by tho adoption of a newer and sim pler method of preparing land that fills the demand of tho hour so completely that its introduction at this time ap pears almost providential. Wo refer to the Jobson System of deep tillage and the remarkable "Common Sonso" plow that turns top soil and subsoil at one and tho same time, but does not bring the clay or under stratum to the top to impoverish the land or give it the usual temporary set-back In fertility nt this time when we can ill afford to sacrifice a present bushel even to a future cart load. The Jobson plow is just the thing for this late preparation of the soil, both! now and throughout tho sum mer months; for it will be a j long timo beforo it is too late ' to plant some kind of food to mature before late fall. This plow is simple and "Common Sense" in construction and use and can be operated without any previous experience. The cost is very small, compared lo the big ad vantage, and it is undoubtedly some thing that every farmer In the United States ought to have right now. A booklet written on this subject by Major John W. Norwood of Fulton county, Ga., is entitled "The Common Sense of Deep Plowing and Bigger Profits on the Parin." This work ls being read and discussed by thousands of fanners and agriculturists all ovor the south. The editors of Tho South ern Ruralist, The Southern Cultivator, Tho Fancier Farmer and other leading writers and officials have approved of it heartily, and Hon. J. D. Price, for mer commissioner of agriculture, said of it: "I wisli every fanner in my slate could read lt.'' This booklet is now being mailed free. A request on a penny post card I will bring it to any reader of this pa per. Address The Jobson Plow Co., ! Atlanta, Ga.
