PIAN|STS AF TER
RETURN MATCH
WITH PLAYER"
Question of Ragtime Champion,
ship of Atlanta Threatens to
0yershadow All Else.

The question Of Atlanta's ragtime
championship now threatens to be-
come as famous as the pump question
and the crematory discussion.
Although Frank Hammond, execu-
tive secretary to Mayor Woodward,
awarded the decision in the contest
to the Weatherholt player-piano,
there are many advocates Of the
pianists not present at the contest
who still insist that the player is not
the equal Of an expert with nimble
fingers.
Decision Was Close.
Mr.. Hammond admitted the de-
cision was close but he believed, aft
er studying the merits of the con-
testants closely, that the Weatherholt
player piano should have the de-
cision in Fridays contest. And this
was the opinion of a majority Of those
present.
Friends Of Marsh Adair, we'll
known young Albanian, want another
contest and want him in as one Of
the contestants. They say he can
outplay any player piano ever built
In a ragtime contest. Others, too,
who were unable to attend the con-
test Friday afternoon, want another
syncopatic bout held.
Another Contest Planned.
For this reason T. E. Weatherholt
president of the Weatherholt Piano
Company, has agreed to attempt an
other solution of the problem.
So all lovers of ragtime will have
another opportunity Tuesday after
noon of hearing the player piano and
expert pianists. The contest will be
staged again in Weatherholt Hall, 70
North Broad Street, and the first
contestant will begin playing at 8
o'clock. Everybody is invited. It's
fires.

Work of Corn Club

The recognition by organized labor
of the high value of boys corn club
work is set forth in striking way
by Jesse w. Armistead, president of
Atlanta Typographical Union. No. As.
in a communication to Secretary Wal
ter G. Cooper of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Upon the success OF the farmer,
says Mr.. Armistead rests to large
extent the whole superstructure OF
commercial and industrial welfare
and it certainly behooves the COM
mercial interests of Atlanta 70 foster
and encourage greater efficiency in
and diversification of crops.
Under the organization Of the
Boys Corn Club much progress has
been made, both for the upbuilding
and strengthening of food production
in Georgia, and in introducing the
principle of constructive cooperation
along agricultural lines by the bank
ers, merchants and manufacturers OF
the big cities"

me, love my dog" is the motto Of
vinson Walsh Mclean, the 10o,O00,-
900 four-year- old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Beale Mclean.
The dog in this case is one that
would be given the gate" at any dog
show. AS to breeding it defes CLASH
fication, but to the little boy the
dearest dog on earth is Bar Harbor.
In the Mclean kennels there are
dogs with pedigrees so long that they
seem to be entitled to seats in the
House of Lords. Bar Harbor, accord
ing to the stories told, just hap
pened along" a few months ago,
wagged his tail in an affectionate sort
OF manner and attached himself to
the Mclean child. There was estab-
lished at once a bond of friendship.
The result is that when the Nc
Leans go to Newport Bar Harbor will
go along. He will be there not as
the saying goes with both feet, but
with all four, keeping close to his lit
tie master.
His master incidentally will be the
youngest millionaire farmer in New
port. The hundred acre farm IS the
one formerly occupied by the Reg
inald Normans. 1t is located close to
the Reginald and Alfred Vanderbilt
farms. The baby will be permitted
to eat only fresh fruit and vegetables
grown on the place. The farm is now
being fitted up with a playground
that will make life pleasant for the
boy and also for Bar Harbor.
