MANY TRACTORS
FOR STATE FAIR
FARM IMPLEMENTS TO
FEATURE 1916 DISPLHY
TllS ExHIBlT largest tyER SHOWN.

When the great State Fair of Tex
IS opens at Dallas October IA, the
largest and most valuable collection
,f Farm Implements, Vehicles and
Machinery that the South ever saw
will be ready for the public.
A recent announcement from the
office Of Secretary w. II. Stratton, Of
the Fair Association, states that ne
gotiations for space have been con-
cluded with a large majority Of the
couutry's hcst manufacturers in these
lines, and hat the demands for rep
resentation will undoubtedly fill the
available space 20 ovcrflowing, not
withetan ndinr 49, g. that more than
ten acres of ground space have been
reserved.
An interesting part of this great
exhibit, particularly to the farmer
who believes in progressive methods
in agriculture. will be the great num-
Der Of new devices shown During
the past year many improvements
have been made in farm machinery,
and practically all of these will be
included
Big Automobile Show.
Secretary Stratton also advises
that present indications point to the
largest and most complete show Of
automobiles ever seen in this part of
the country. Practically all Of the
cars Of standard make will be seen,
and the many improvements as shown
in the 1917 models will no doubt %
tercst many A special showing of
Commercial cars and trucks will be
of interest to many farmers. During
the past three or four years many
farmers in al parts Of the country
have found profit in a suitable car
TO haul their lighter produce to the
market, and several factories have
specialized i'm cars suitable for TIL
purpose. These will all be shown.
Many Tractors to BE Shown.
a topic i'm which the Southwestern
farmer of today is vitally interested
is Power Farming, as practiced with
the various types of Tractors now
being made and sold for use on the
| farms. Nearly every farmer who has
given this subject deep thought has
become Convinced that tractors are q
paying investment - particularly
where the acreage is large.
Nearly all of the popular types o!
tractors will be seen at the 1919
State Fair of Texas-the leading
manufacturers of the country having
already negotiated for space.
Many of these tractors will be
shown in active operation, under con
ditions approximately as closely a:
possible the conditions found upon the
average farm of this section. Here
| then, is an onportunitV for the farm
er who wants light on this interest
ing subject to form an intelligent
comparison.

agricultural and live stock divisions

PLAYGROUND WORK HAS BEEN
BENEFICIAL TO STATE TEACHERS

tical means whereby boys and girls
may take the full possession Of their
mental Inheritance Therefore they
should play those games which tend
TO mako the mind the perfect uotor
of the body.
There is still further need of
boys and girls beyond health Of the
body and mental control; namely.
the need fcertain moral and social
qualities. They should play those
games that develop courage. self-re-
spect, admiration Of skill. desire for
efficiency. love of fair play sympathy
and sociability and control OF the
emotions.
Educators throughout the whole
country have come to realize the SER
iousness of play as a necessary part
of a cnliprs education and tIat it is
just as essential as music, drawing,
or any part If the curriculum.
Physiological values will come
from play when not directed at all,
but leadership and understanding are
necessary to get large results.
Play will socialize the instincts,
and games will teach cooperation,
fairness. and so forth, but only when
directed toward these specific things
It is essential to know how to use
the game to get the desired result.
Something more than mere teams
and a knowledge of the rules of the
game is necessary to make play con
structive.
Before I conclude, want 10 ex-

TIE FARM AND SMALL TOWN
FURNISH BEST MATERIAL
FOR BIG LEAGUE TlMB Err.

Looking over the roster OF the big
league ball teams you will find name
after name OF men who only recently
were boys on the farm or i'm the village
or small town. On the other hand, sur
prisngly few hail from the big cities.
And yet. this is not so surprising after
all. Even laying aside our knowledge Of
the big part that the so-called country
boy has always played in the great af-
fairs of business and the nation, the
country is the place to lay the founda-
tion necessary for athletes.
The photographs shown are familiar
TO all lovers Of the great National game.
In addition TO their being representatives
OF their type in the baseball world, all Of
these stalwart athletes are great endors-
crs OF that beverage you know and like
so well-Coca-Cola

lie has played with the New York

Captain in 1912, which position ne has

the National League for the season Of
1915. Like all the best Of them he is a
staunch believer jn Coca-Cola.
There is, by the way, a wonderful sim
ilarity between the origin Of these ball
players and that Of the beverage which
they endorse. CoCa-Cola might be called
an agricultural drink, both from the ma
terials il is made OF and because Of it's
great popularity IN the country as well
as in the city. For COca-Cola, if ever
there was a natural, wholesome bev-
erage, Is such-it itself is a gift from
Nature. Made from Natures pure water,
favored with the juices Of fine fruits
and things that grow and sweetened
with Natures purest, finest sugar-and
please particularly remember this last
Coca-Coia contains no artificial sweeten-
ing matter but just the best Of pure cane
sugar. 1t is this fine combination that
gives Coca-Cola it's deliciousness Of
flavor. it's distinctively refreshing and
thirst-quenching qualities and ' great
wnolesomeness. That's why bali players,
athletes, fans-all classes and kinds of
men and women drink and endorse Coca
Cola, Drink a glass or a bottle and you
will be just as enthusiastic about it.

a social life of a church and give their
spare time to its endeaVors. The
church they selected, as a matter of
interest, happens to be one that will
force the closing of a theater they
now frequent for their amusement
if the old ordinance is enforced.
They joined the church.
Apart from the privilege of listen
ing to a lecture each Sunday on
Christianity, for which they pay in
their contributions, they gained moth
ing more. They were not made one
of the select clique of the congrega-
ton. When the wife was sick for
many weeks in bed no one visited her
uutil more than six weeks passed, and
the pastor did not call at all, though
the husband advised him of his Wife's
illness. Their desire for a social
church life and religious activity re-
suited in their occupying seats
among Indifferent strangers and put
ting contributions on the plate.
You won't drive people to the
churches until the churches are hui
manized, even if you close all the
moving picture shows in the city,
and you won't hurt the churches by
keeping moving picture shows open
within 200 feet of a church.
It seems to me that much better
than enforcing this ordinance would
be its repeal
