tear the burning clothing from her but
it was not removed until after the old
Jady had been painfully burned about
the back and arms. DR.. G. H. Ripley

injured woman. He announced today
that she would recover from the burns.
but that the only thing that saved Her

BID FAREWELL TO MATsON
Well Known Employees of Big Automo-
bile Plant Toast Retiring Official and
Recall Interesting History of Long
Connections With the Big Plant.

The Rambler sold Timers headed
by Factory Manager DeCou and Supt
Bjorn, representing employees of the
Jeffrey works whose connection with
the Rambler organization and Thomas
B. Jeffrey dates back twelve years OF
more, met in banquet last evening at
the Plaza Cafe.
Forty-eight men assembled to express
the appreciation Of his friendship and
to bid au revoir to Asst Supt M. Mat
son, who yesterday severed his direct
connection with the Jeffrey works, after
an honorable service dating back 23
years.
Mr.. Matson leaves with his family to
make his future home in South Central
Texas, where he hopes to enjoy we'll
earned season of rest and recreation,
AMI incidentally to enter into the es-
tate of gentleman farmer and full
fedged Rambler dealer.
A very satisfying repast, which did
credit to Mine Host Holderness, y was
enlivened by an orchestra, instrumental
and vocal solos, and songs by crack
quartet of Jeffrey workmen.
Under the able drawing out Of Toast
mastel DeCou, who declared he had
never made a piece of toast in mis- life,
many delightful "reminiscences Of old
time Rambler days were brought out,
from Mr.. MaddocL's story of the intro
ducaion into the plant, against strenu
Gus opposition, of The first automatic
machine, TO the shock Jerry exper-
fenced, in the early days, when he was
given a two-dollar raise for Tthink.
ing" after he had his fondest expecta
tions raised to getting the can tied
to HIM. "
The total term of service of the forty.
eight Rambler employees present was
8S7 years, an average of nineteen years
each. Seven present employees, absent
from the banquet table, would increase
this total to something over 1000
years. Two dated back twenty-nine
years, one each twenty-seven years, and
twenty eight years, two twenty-four,
four twenty-three, FIVE twenty-five,
three twenty, two nineteen, eight eigh.
teen, four seventeen, one sixteen, four
fifteen, two each fourteen and thirteen
and seven twelve years, record seldom
matched in present day factory history
touching feature of the evening
was the uniform expression of utmost
respect and veneration for the founder
of the company, the late Thomas j..
Jeffery, and the recital of his many un-
published acts of kindness and charity.
That this same kindly and loyal feeling
has been transferred from the father
to the son was amply attested by the
heartiness with which the cold Tim
ers responded to the toast f'To Our
President, Charles T. Jeffrey, Whose
Uniform Kindness, Consideration and
Fairness Make Light the Service we
Render"

FARMERS WILL LEAD
Secretary Jordan of The
Vhos. B. Jeffrey Co. Gets
Out Unique Booklet.
BUMPER CROP THIS SEASON

A new idea in motor car advertis-
ing, originated by the man who first
advertised automobiles to farmers, is
incorporated in a booklet entitled A
Farmer for President from the pen
of Edward S. Jordan, secretary Of The
Thomas B. Jeffery Company. The
booklet tells in an interesting way
the reasons why a modern scientific
farmer is destined to occupy the White
House before long.
Jordan believes that somewhere in
this broad land there is a practical
farmer who is gravitating toward the
White House. He says, He will be
a young man who was born on farm
and stayed there except for little ex-
cursions when he discovered that
proper government is closely akin to
proper farming.
'9The most powerful man in Ameri-
I'd bOudNs dCCOIuAAS W OVAo"o, ~
the American farmer and upon good
schools and coed roads his future de-
pends He could turn into cash to-
morrow just a part Of what he raises
on that great farm which extends from
the Saskatchewan to the Rio Grande,
buy out Wall Street and nail boards
over the windows. Yet the great
prosperity of this country would not
be seriously affected.
'sThe Farmer, says Jordan, us
today rapidly becoming the world S
largest consumer of all goods of merit.
His daughter, who once ran the tread
mill churn, is now at Vassar and the
gasoline engine attached to the cream
separator and churn has taken her
place on the farm. 8
Sixty per cent of the output OF the
Jeffrey company is sold to farm resi-
dents and the large Increase in Cross
Country sales, which is forty-fve per
cent over the sales of last year, is at
tributed to the great crop prospect
which the farmer of the Middle West
is now enjoying.

LOST IN PIKE CREEK.
Mike Russo, an italian, has an Unusual
Experience with a Balky Cow.

Michael Russo, an Italian residing on
Rowland avenue, had an unique expert
ence this morning when he was mired
in Pike creek north of the city as re-
suit of the stubbornness of a COW. The
Italian had taken the cow out with a
view of finding grazing ground and
the cow decided that she liked the cool
ing waters of the creek and started to
run. Russo held on to the tether and
was pulled into the creek where both
he and the COW were mired in four feet
of black mud. 1t took the combined
efforts Of two farmers for five hours to
pull Russo and the COW out of the mud
of the creek The farmers held the
cow pending the payment of fee Of
two dollars for their work and the Ital-
ian finally paid the charges and started
for Rowland avenue with the COW. 1t

keep COW can strike bargain with

incident by the Wilson administration,
but it is doubtful if the matter can be
shut up as easily as that. A scandal that
moves the subordinates Of one of the
government departments to demand
the removal of the head of that de-
partment, cabinet officer, must be a
pretty serious matter and one that con
gross may feel called upon to investi-
gate. It is easy enough to fire any
subordinate who stirs up trouble for his

covered for gagging them and making
them stop talking after they are let

There may be some excuse for any
amount of noisy patriotism on the
Fourth but there is none for the pre-
mature celebration of the day and the
police should put a stop to anything
of the kind. They can do it without
making any arrests if they take it in
time but disorderly conduct =
charge would stand up in court against
any of the celebrators. Another thing
that must be impressed on the children
who fire the crackers is that the terri
tory surrounding the hospital on all
sides is zone of silence" and that
they are to keep out of it when cele-
brating.

worked out under direction of the state
board of public affairs. This board Sc

has adopted policy by which the leg

designated in the budget. The budget
bill places a limitation upon the
amounts that may be spent for opera

construction.
The board Of public affairs prepared
a financial budget and placed it be-

J. NJ. Mcclellan, Of Gainesville, Ga.
who for the past two years has been a
representative for the Cleveland Man
ming Piano Company in that territory,
has opened a store at IS North Pryor
street.
Mr.. Mcclellan made arrangements
with the Cleveland Manning Piano
Company to purchase their remaining
stock of all pianos, both new and sec
ond- hand, which were equipped with
the square sounding board. His pur-
chase amounts to over 70 pianos, and he
will Immediately open at the above
named location, and states that he in
tends to close out the entire stock in
less than 80 days.
THE reason most people do not buy
pianos" said Mr. Mcclellan, is be-
cause they can not get the best makes
at a roCk-bottOm price and most people
viii not have a cheap piano. My plan
is to keep my own expenses, both per-
SOnal and business. at q minimum In
stead of taking a large store with an
enormous rent. / have selected store
in a very good location, that is not so
Well equipped as other piano stores. but
suits my purpose and costs me about
one-thirtieth the amount.
II know what the Cleveland Manning
Piano Company was up against in Of
fering the public pianos with the square
sounding board. when they claimed the
Melodigrand was the only mechanically
correctly built piano on the market and
so, having been fortunate enough to
raise sufficient capital I made them a
proposition on their entire stock and
consequently bought it at a remarkably
low price.
Il did not tell them that l was going
to sell them in Atlanta, but after pur-
chasing the stock l decided the best
place 20 sell it was right here in Al
lanta, and consequently rented the store
at IS North Pryor street"
Mcclellan is a good boy, and has al
ways been a hard worker for US. and he
has always had desire to go into bust
ness for himself" said J. 3. Cleveland.
president of the Cleveland Manning
Piano Company. I'VE have not made a
penny on our old stock, but the amount
we have lost through this sale We have
charged. to the advertising of the Mel

mate piano for every home"
