Change in Ksathsr Expected

Did you ever? Yes-several times
In the history OF Ordway, has 1t been
as dry, and just when we were ready
to do as Job did--cuss-the heavens
have opened and the deluge come.
Get busy and be ready for surely the
weather will change.
l can only remember one fall before
in 20 years when the plowing could not
be done-a great misfortune; to US
farmers, an irreparable damage for
plowing done In winter cannot be wet
and frozen properly for the coming
season-not an impossibility but rath-
er imprObable-and to prepare ground
in spring around Ordway means poor
seed preparation and poor crops To fol-
low Us rule. Should tomorrow bring
us rain as predicted and we can mus
ter our forces strong enough to do the
work before freezing we shall yet be
ready for the winter. But l have
never seen our soil warm or mellow In
April and ready for the seed, nnless
turned over In the fall and wet up SO
the winter can do its alternating pro.

and the little PARTICLES seem to crawl
among each other: otherwise II Is dead
and lifeless.
Shall we wet alfalfa In winter? The
same old question with the same old

found way-watcr was turned on at

the weather was severe, and our boys

but finally the alfalfa was wet. and
two or three tons per acre was direct

cold to run water" our alfalfa fields
have gone down and half a crop Is the

our lateral company. The mains have

ELECTION FOR BONDS;
REGISTRATION CLOSED
Only a Small Number of
Voters Qualify for Com
ing Election.

Whether or not the mayor and coun-
eil OF the city Of Marietta will be au-
thorized to prepare and place on the
market fifteen thousand dollars of
bonds for the purpose Of extending and
improving the new sewerage system Of
the city, will depend upon the meas
ure securing votes to the number of
two hundred and fifty-three at an cleo
ton to be held Thursday of nextweek.
The registration book has been
,epen for several weeks, and, when it
closed Tuesday OF last week, only
three hundred and eighty OF Mariet-
ta's qualified voters had registered for
this election. Under the law, the au-
thority to. issue these bonds will have
tetreceive the approval OF two-thirds of
those registered.
D From those in position to Judge Of
public sentiment, there seems no
deabt but that the bond issue will be
authorized by the necessary two-thirds,
in which event it will be up to the
mayor and council to dispose OF them
in such manner as may seem most
advantageous to the city, but, in no
event, are they to be sold at less than
par.

volume of sound rolling into the air.

makes it SO successful in curing

LETTER FROM NEW YORK

and there can't be anything else to
see, so life is not worth while.
At first we admired, then wondered
Today we pronounced the whole bust

John, who wrote Revelations, in his
description of the new Jerusalem had
nothing more beautiful in mind, it
seems to me, than the sight one might
see on the Hudson. Over on the Jer-
sey side tier on tier of every color of
light, sloping down to the river. On
the river the million and one boats,
and all the battleships lighted up
and the bands playing and bugles
blowing. On our side, Riverside Park
and drive and New York City lighted
up. I quietly sat down On a bench
ment that New York is too much for
me.
We went to the top of the Metro

Atlanta. l stood it very we'll while l
was up there, but when l got down
and looked up there at that little point
where we had been; it actually made
me dizzy. Standing on top and look
ing down on the Flatiron building it
looks like fourteen cents, and how
many post cards of the FlatirOn
building have well meaning friends
sent me? New York really makes me
mad, to think that everything in the
world is right here and that we poor
mortals down South never see any
thing at all.
We went in the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art today. l could spend one
whole year there and take my meals
down stairs.
On the drives the vehicles come up
