FELL INTO WE'LL.

Joseph Cantrell, age 16. son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIII Cantrell, fell into
q 40 foot well at their home three
miles northwest of Seymour Sunday
evening. August 81. and was killed
instantly. The well had just been
finished to the 40 foot depth and
contained no water. He had been
let down into the we'll by a rope and
bucket to clean out some straw that
had been thrown in. and was drawi
out just to the top OF the we'll by
his father and an uncle, and when
requested to change the position of
his hands on the rope, lost his grip.
and fell. The fall broke his neck,
crushed his skull and mangled the
body. His remains were laid to rest
at the Liberty cemetery eight miles
north of here.--Seymour Citizen.

4 SURVEY.

The missionary. benevolent and
educational boards of nearly all ths
evangelical religious bodies OF the
country are cooperating in formulat-
ing the biggest forward program eY-
er undertaken. Inspired by the
success of such movements as that
of the Disciples Of Christ Men and
| Millions Movement. the Methods
Centenary and Presbyterian News
Era Campaign, as well as the big
United Welfare Drive of the Y. NJ.
c. A. and othc' agencies during the
war, these boards have united in a
cooperative survey of their
ces and fields in which they work
When they have tabulated their
forces and studied the needs of the
fields, they propose to put on d
great campaign for men and funds
to promote the greatest forward
movement for the Christianization
of the world ever undertaken.
This is not a church union move
ment, but a cooperative undertaking
of the various church societies and
boards. The world program to be
outlined by the survey will be Sim
ply a simultaneous campaign. con-
Quoted by the various boards. each
one for it's own work but without
conflict with n another. The
Boards of no less than seventy-siX
leading denominations, representing
more than 100000 churches and fol-
lowing of more than 5O,0OO,OOo
members and attendants are cooper
ating in the survey.
We have many and excellent
churches in this country, but Just
how many and what is their strength
perhaps no one knows. A survey
committee will soon be appointed and
these facts. together with many in
teresting things connected with their
work, gathered. This will be done
in every one of the 5000 counties i'll
the United States and the results
tabulated. 1t will be the most IL
Eliminating story of American religi-
4 conditions ever compiled. The
facts for every county will be placed
at the disposal of the churches OF
that county, and of every community
within it, as well as put in the hands
of all state officials of the churches
and the national boards that are
conducting the inquiry. 1t will help
10 put religious undertakings on a
business-like basis.

TECH CLASHES
WITH GEORGIA:
RELATIONS CUT

ATLANTA, May 22.-Bad blood has
broken out again between the sup
pOrters of the State University and
those of the Georgia Tech in Allan
ia, following an episode alleged to
have taken place in the parade in Ath-
ems Saturday preceding the baseball
game played there between the two
institutions. The faculty of the Tech
have dispatched a diplomatic note to
the Athens authorities severing ath-
letic relations of the two institutions
and have let it be known that they
are open to an engagement this fall
on the date previously allotted to the
Georgia game.
Tech men say that their patriotism
was impugned Saturday when the
Georgia boys ran a tank down the
streets, placarded Georgia in the Ar
come" while just behind it came a
flivver bearing the inscription Tech
in Atlanta" This, they claim, was too
much when a record of the colleges
of the union shows that Tech ranked
fourth in America in percentage of
men in the service, while the Uni
versity ranked fifteenth, both many,
many notches above the average.
The quarrel may be referred to the
peace conference.

you can write. touching upon the farm

you can handle the situation as you

MISS EDWARDS
DRIVES TRACTOR
IN GRAIN FIELD

Handling it as smoothly and as
easily as if it had been her touring
car going out Lee street, Miss Emily
Edwards sat on the drivers seat of a
her fathers farm east of Americas
this morning and drove Moline trac-
tor that hauled the harvester faster
and better than three husky mules
could have done.
The occasion was the demonstra-
ton of the tractor by d. A. Carmichael
and Sons, of Americas. to the farm
ers of the county. Although the
crowd present was not large it includ-
ed number Of large farm owners.
and every person was interested in the
spectacle. The big machine did ev-
erything the advance agent had claim
ed for it, and did it with ease-and
Miss Edwards experience proved that
the boy or girl on the farm can do the
work of a man with it's aid.
The Moline tractor is a two-wheel-
ed affair, with one small rear wheel to
keep the engine on a level keel 1t
bitches direct to the implement drawn,
and it was demonstrated with the bin
der that it can back without unhitch-
ing as easily as it can go forward
which is regarded as a big advantage
in blowing stumpy land.
The oats were in fine condition and
the machine cut them clearly without
leaving a stalk or knocking one down.
The sensitive steering apparatus made
it possible for the driver to take a
complete swath at all times, getting
100 per cent. Of efficiency out of the
binder and reducing the cutting time
After the ginder test the tractor
was hitched to discs and ebert nipple
