DELCO-LICHT PEOPLE
HOLD BIG CONVENTION

Mr.. F. G. Marchman, local Delco-
Light dealer returned this week from
the Delco-Light Convention which he
attended in Dayton, Ohio, on March
18 to 20.
He came back enthusiastic over the
trip and described fluently the many
interesting features which were of
fered at this Convention of the MAX
ers and statesmen of Delco-Light, the
well-known farm electric plant.
Some of the more striking fea-
lures, says Mr.. Marchman were: First
the opening session on Thursday
morning when talks were made by
the General Manager, and other Of
ficers of the Company. These talks
had to do largely with the general
proposition Of the spread and deve-
Ilopment of electrical equipment for
the rural communities and many val
liable new electrical products were
ANNOUNCED.
On Thursday afternoon, the whole
convention body of some 1900 mem
bers were taken on a trip through
the great Delco-Light factory, largest
of its kind in the world and covering
more than a million square feet of
floor space. On Thursday night the
feature was a comedy with music,
produced and presented exclusively
for the Delco-Light organization.
Fridays program dealt with init
mate service and financial problems
and included, also, a striking parade
Fof factory employees, representing
eech department. The keenest inter
est and enthusiasm were displayed on
every hand, declares Mr.. Marchman
clear up to the eliminating feature,
the annual banquet for the entire
convention body, on Saturday night.
Prominent speakers, delivered stir
ring talks, and at the conclusion,
motion pictures We're shown of many
of the important features of the three
day convention.
Mr.. Marchman declares that in his
opinion. electricity is one of the most
important forces offered the farmer
today and that opinion was strength
ened by what he saw and heard at
the tremendous gathering of sales
men of electrical products. An cleo
trical exposition conducted by about
100 manufacturers of electrical APP
planes was valuable feature of
the convention, he adds, and con-
cludes that when all farmers come to
use electricity as they will one day,
the result will be a most valuable
saving of time and labor and the I'M
questioned addition of untold COM
fort and enjoyment, made possible by
the enjoyment Of the advantages that
electricity alone affords.

We, in America, inherit through cen

often amounting to contempt. We are
now cutting loose from the false idea
that saintliness is associated with
sickness, and the theological doctrine
that the flesh is in league with the
devil, and are working toward the
establishment of more wholesome
ideals. Instead of viewing the amaze
mic young man and the pale young
woman as sanity candidates for glory
we consider them as physically unfit
for work and handicapped for mar.

to be careful that the stick did not
catch on fire while the wick was

Salt was very scarce; it was
found necessary to dig up the earth

salt remained.
Beautiful straw hats were made of

SKETCHES OF WOMAN
During Civil War;

The following anecdotes of the
Women of the South" may in some
degree throw light upon the won
derful strength and tenacity of the
Confederate troops, who for four
years faced an enemy almost four
to one in numbers, thoroughly equip
ped with clothing and supplies, hav-
ing the world at large to call upon
for additional men and material,
while the Confederate Army had only
their own people to supply their
necessities, and whose country was
surrounded by blackade so drastic,
that it seemed almost a miracle when
commodities or persons passed
through "The Lines"
Mrs. NJ. R. Lyon of Marietta, Ca,
gave me a most interesting account
of the resourcefulness and energy of
one brave Southern woman, during
those terrible -Four Years." and her
undaunted courage in the face of al
most impossibilities, the story is as
follows:
"In 1868 my brother, Capt. Sam.
Y. Harris was in Virginia with Long
streets Division; a fellow soldier of
his command having been given a
furlough of week, offered to take
any message home to his (Capt. Har-
risO family for him. His parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. C. Harris were living
at their home, "Noon-Day," about
seven miles from Marietta.
Capt. Harris message" was, a re-
quest for new suit of clothes. You
can imagine the sensation this must
have caused his devoted family.
There was no cloth to be bought,
as every thing had been used for
uniforms months before.
The soldier would return in a weeks
time to carry the package back to
Capt. Harris; there was no time to be
lost, for he must not be disappointed,
What did these splendid indomitable
people do, exemplifying the true
suit of the unconquerable South
Mrs. Harris had the sheep that a short
time before were grazing in the
meadow, brought to the yard and
sheared. Mrs. Harris, with the assist
ance of her daughter, Mrs. Jim Lati-
mer, and faithful servant, spun the
yarn and wove the cloth, afterwards
dying the goods, and then with Won
derful patience and skill, made it
into a suit of clothes, within the
given weeks time, for their dear SOL
der "at the front"
That was the spirit of our grand
old Southland-and it is with us yet.
Mrs. Lyon also mentioned the
many substitutes used during these
times of stress and anxiety Ink
was made out of inkballs, "And"
she added "better ink than we had
during this war"
Tea of dried raspberry leaves;
coffee of parched rye, ground and
boiled.
No sugar came into the South to-
wards the latter days of the war, but
sorghum syrup was used and found
to be not a bad substitute.
Home made candles were fine,
made of tallow and beeswax; cur
