GEORGIA WOMAN
INVENTS LABOR
SAVER FOR COOKS

Atlanta, Sept 2O.-Mrs. A. G. Speer,
formerly Fannie Hoyt of Georgia, first
cousin to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and
the only woman in the family who
rivalled Mrs. Wilson in kitchen lore,
in their girlhood days, has blossomed
forth as an inventor.
Like the presidents wife, Mrs. Speer
was the daughter of we'll known
Baptist minister, and the two families
were intimate Mrs Speer, then Miss
Hoyt, was the champion cake-baker OF
the family; in fact she was veritable
queen of cake-bakers, if the memory
of Georgians of her generation is to be
trusted. Whenever there was a we'd
ding in the family, Fannie Hoyt was
the one who made the wedding cake
These facts are not irrelevant. They
have a direct bearing on the invention.
Fannie Hoyts pretty hands and slen-
der wrists used to get mighty tired
beating eggs for these cakes, and SO
Mrs. Speer has invented wonderful
egg-beater that will beat up the whites
and yellows at the same time separ-
ately. She has had it patented az
| Washington, and friends expect it to
bring her fame Mrs. Speer is the wife
of a retired physician, and lives at
Cornelia, Ga.

Prof. A. P. Hollis. who has Just
come to the A. C. from the Valley,
City State Normal school. is back
from conducting a.. number Of. teach
ers' institutes in various parts of the
state. He prepared a series of exer-
discs on agriculture, based OIL the ex-
tension articles of Professor Randlett,
and reports that the common school
teachers Of the state seem as keenly
interested in the methods of present..
Ing this new subject as in any pre-
scented at the institutes. The topics
We're Breeds of Cattle, North Dakota
Weeds, Farro Arithmetic, and Pedoga-
sical Values in Agricultural Instruc-
ton.
They were much interested in the
new plans for the extension, which is
to be edited as q. teachers magazine
fer agricultural instruction. Corn,
alfalfa, sewing and cooking contests
were held in connection with some of
these institutes. the judging being
by better farming experts or by
men from the agricultural college.
This gave the opportunity for practi-
demonstration of the instruction
given and was a valuable feature of
the work.
It seems likely that work in this
subject will become d permanent and
popular phase of teachers institute
work.
