simple, one / have described and illus
trated for you below. This telephone
outfit will not carry a message a long
d~istance-'tis true, but 1t will work
splendidly from n room to another,
or from your house to the house next
door, and that Is plenty far enough for
play telephoning.
There must be two telephones, Of
course, n for your chum to use, and
the other for yourself. The telephone
instruments are very simple. Each is
made out of tin can, and you talk in
to and listen from the same tin can.
A one-pound corn can, or a can Of
equal size, should be obtained for each
instrument. A tomato a will do, but
it is rather large and awkward to
hold, and therefore will not serve the
purpose as well. If you will examine
the ends Of a preserve can, you will
discover that one end is smooth while
the other end is not. The smooth
end is the bottom, and the other end,
the top, has a hole cut in its center
and a piece of tin soldered over that
hole. This end of the can, with the
center piece of tin removed forms q
splendid mouthpieoe for our telephone.
The center piece of tin Is easily re-
moved. All you have to do is place
the can, with this end down, in the
flame of a gas-burner for an instant,
to melt the solder, and the piece will
drop out. Hold the al on the end OF
a large kitchen spoon, then you will
not burn your fingers. The ragged
edges Of the opened" end Of the can
should also be removed, and the cas-.
lest way to do this is ~ holding the
can In the flame Of a 6 .s-burner until

May goth Celebration.

Charlotte, N. Cat q meeting OF
the directors of the M~ecklenburg Dec
laration Society, It was unanimously
decided to extend a cordial and press
ing invitation to the entire State to
attend the Celebration Of the week OF
May Twentieth and to participate IN
some fitting manner in the Grand
Parade to be held on the Goth Of May
As the signers Of the original Dec
laration Of Independence Of May goth,
Its, were mainly farmers, 1t is emin-
nelly appropriate that they should to-
day share largely in making this eel
ebration IN unequal1ed success. 1t Is
hoped that President Woodrow VIII
son will find it possible to attend this
celebration, and it is felt that 1t will
be most proper for the farmers and
others of this section to give concrete
recognition of his efforts in their be-
half by being conspicuous in honor
ing him on this occasion.
Prizes to encourage competition IN
getting up attractive features for the
parade will be offered and other in
ducements will be provided. It Ia
planned to make the parade this year
one that has never been equalled
since the first celebration, and fur
Their details regarding the parade,
prizes, etc., will be Announced later.

CORN EXHIBIT FROM SOUTH
Southern Railway Makes Attractive
Showing of South's Corn Record
at Dallas.

Dallas, Texas.-An exhibit attract.
IL much favorable comment among
' tors to the national Corn EXPOSE
ton, which was opened in this city
February 10, is that made by the
Southern Railway, Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, Queen and Crescent Route,
Georgia Southern and Florida Railway
and Virginia and Southwestern Rail-
way, showing what Southeastern farm
ers have accomplished in growing
corn, and displaying agricultural pro-
ducts from all the nine states in the
Southeast along the Southern Rail-
way and allied lines. With a single
exception, no other railways in the
country are making exhibits at the ex-
position, and the Southern's exhibit is
the only n from most Of the South
eastern states, only three or four OF
which are represented through their
state colleges.
The exhibit consists Of corn grown
along the lines Of the various roads
and to a great extent by farmers who
raised their crops under supervision
Of Field Agents Of the Railway Com
panies' Department of Farm Improve
ment Work. Grains, grasses, hay,
cotton, vegetables and other agricul-
tural products, and apples and other
fruits, both fresh and in jars, all
grown in the South, are displayed.
A folder containing information
about the corn growing record of the
South, issued by the Land and Indus
trial Department Of Southern Railway
Company, is being handed visitors to
the Corn Exposition and Is also be-
ing distributed throughout the coun-
try for the purpose Of attracting de-
sirable settlers to the Southeast

first the bottom then the top of the
can, and punch a hole through the
center of it and the can with the point
of a large nail. Increase the size OF
the hole enough so it will admit the
pencil point
This top is spun in the manner
shown in Fig. 1. Hold the pencil be-
tween your hands, with palms to-
gether, and slide your hands back and
forth. This will twirl the pencil in
one direction, then in the opposite.
Twill the top in this way for a SEC

A pencil, a cone-shaped piece cut

SIMPLE SPINNING TOPS.

SIMPLE SPINNING TOPS.
With the odds and ends to be found
about the house a boy has material for
making a great variety Of interesting
tops.
The top shown in Fig. 1 is a splen-
did spinner. 1t Is made Of a pencil,
a cone-shaped piece cut from a spool,
and an empty shoe-polish can. The
dotted line in Fig. 2 indicates how the
end Of the pencil sticks through a hole
in the shoe-polish can, then through
the hole In the cone-shaped piece Of
spool. The pencil point should be
blunt. Fig. 7 shows how the cone
shaped piece is cut from a thread
spool. First saw the spool into
halves, and then, with a sharp jack
knife, taper n half from the end
down to a point at the center.
The hole through the polish can
must be located in the exact center
to make the top balance properly. To
find the center place the box bottom
down upon a piece Of paper, and with
a pencil mark a line around it. Cut
the paper along the circle. That will
give you a piece Of the shape and
size Of the car bottom. Fold the
piece In half, then in half again the
other way Gig. ~. Open it up, and
the intersection of the two folds, in
Dictated by dotted lines in Fig. 3, will
be the exact center. With the center
located, place the piece Of paper upon
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1914-02-25

the pencil to run through. Glue the
disk to the cone-shaped piece Of spool.
Spin this top in the name described
for the top shown in Fig. l..
Wheels from a WORKOUT alarm clock
make splendid small spinning tops.
They may be spun upon a piece of
cardboard held in the hand, and by
fitting the cardboard just right it is
possible with practice to. make them
glide over the surface in any direction.
BY drawing a track upon a piece of
cardboard, with an opening on one
side, great fun may be had by start
ing the top in the center, and then
tiltins the cardboard SO as to cause
the top to spin through the opening
on the track, and around the track.
