asm in giving Atlanta some of the same
kind of advertising it would be a grand
thing for the sport. And they would
accomplish wonders. With the help of
business men, the Atlanta Speedway
races could he made a tremendous sue
cess.
The Atlanta Speedway is a grave
yard as far as the Atlanta Automobile
association is concerned. But the At
lanta Automobile and Accessory asso-
citation is not Of the same mind. And
if money is made in encouraging per-
fusion at the present show it is not
unlikely that some of it will be spent
in giving race meeting at the Speed
way next season.
It all depends on the success Of the
present show. OF course, we aren't go
ing 10 lose moBey--on the show. and
then some more on Speedway races.
However, I don't think there is any
cause TO worry. l believe the show will
prove tremendous success.

Contempt Of Court

Maud Muller on summer day
Was in the meadow raking hay.
She always had enjoyed good health
But had hanksrlng for wealth.
She wished she might be richly dressed
And circulate among the best.
The Judge came sailing down the lane
Upon his nice new aeroplane.
And presently he saw the maid
And tried to stop, and swooped and
swayed
And tore the top rail from the fence,
And acted like he had no sense.
Maud watched him with bashful grin
Until he struck her with fin
"My Land?" she cried and jumped
away
The Judge lit on bunch of hay.
She ran to where the spring gushed up
And filled her little old tin cup.
She didn't know but he was dead,
And splashed the water on his head.
He looked upon his aeroplane
And said some words which gave
Maud pain.
Then slowly rose, and with a frown,
He started for nearby town;
But brought his footsteps to halt,
And said: "This, Maid is all your fault
sIf you had not been raking here
I'd still be in the atmosphere.
You've cost me dear and spoiled my
sport;
I'll sue you for contempt of court" :.
Once more he started down the lane,
And Maud went to her work again.
She looked upon his wrecked machine,
And sadly sighed, cit might have
All well, in heaven we'll all have wings
And not depend ON such fool things"

According to the latest report Of the
land office there still remain to be dis
posed Of in homestead, timber, coal.
mineral and stone lands 695,401,259
acres, situated in what are commonly
known as public land states. About
one-Quarter of these lands have been
surveyed.
In order, then, to induce entries on
the remaining lands, congress recently
passed law providing that certain
restrictions on these entries in the
way of cultivation, residence, ETC., be
moderated 30 that settlers would find
1t less difficult to live up to the speci-
fications set forth In homestead laws.
One of the most attractive features Of
the new law is the three-year resi-
dence clause. This provides that in
order to entitle person to a patent
upon a homestead 1t must be shown
that he has resided on the farm for
three years Honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors are entitled to
claim credit for the period of service,
after they have resided upon, i'm.

Because Of the high speed OF which
the engine is capable and the fact
that It has right of way all the time,
its service will be invaluable. as has
already been shown by its efficiency
in putting out small flames In the
yards without the assistance Of the
municipal department. The excellent
switchboard service, operated from
the towers. can give It right OF way
with scarcely any delay.
The primary use Of the engine VIII
