MR. ABBITT GIVES
BARBECUE DINNER.

After demonstrating how we'll the
this morning on the farm of Mr.. K.
H. Watson near this city Mr.. H. w.
Abbltt the Ford man gave delicious
barbecue dinner with slaw and other
good things and soft drinks thrown in
which was thoroughly enjoyed by a
large number of farmers and friends
from different parts of the county
Mr.. Abbitt fed about sixty people and
there was plenty to spare.
Mr.. Abbitt requested Mr. j. D.
Gold to welcome the folks and the
latter told them of the great strides
that genius is making in placing at
the disposal of the farmers labor saw
ing machinery that will go down in
the earth and bring up it's latent re-
sources that cannot be employed un-
less deep plowing is resorted to.
Mr.. B. T. Ferguson made an in
teresting talk on "Soil Improvement
Soiling Crops, and soiling prepara-
tions''.
Mr.. King in charge of the de-
monstration made a talk on Power
Farming and the Usefulness of the
Tractor on the farm and farming
implements.
Three tractors were working, two
of them breaking ground, while
another was narrowing and placing
the land in fine shape. The plows
were cutting the soil to a depth of
ten inches, with subsoiler running
in the same furrow. Mr.. Petway sup
erintendent on the farm of Mr.. Wat
son and Mr.. Watson also said that
this was deeper than the land had
ever been plowed before.
Breaking land in this way en-
ables the roots to go down deep and
find moisture, and fertilizer that has
been undisturbed before and of lit
tie or no use. 1t has been estimated
in number of the states of the
west that deep plowing with traction
engines has increased theAyield of
wheat as much as ten to the
acre without fertilizer.

performance they drop thirty cents in
the box. There is no attendant to stop
the patrons il they don't care to drop
the money in the box. There is girl
stationed in a little booth just inside
the lobby to provide change for the
patrons who want the correct amount
Manager Smith says that practically
all the theatre patrons pay. The only
ones who don't drop their money in
to the box. according to Smith. are the

WARNS Of
DANGER FROM STORMS

WASHINGTON, July 21-U \. s.
When the lightning flashes and the
thunder booms your chance of being
struck is just one in milliCn.
That is the expert opinion express
ed by ". J. HUMPHREYS of the Seismo-
logical department of the weather
bureau Figure it out-one hundred
million people in the country and an
annual lightning death roll of not
more than 100 Does it make any
difference whether you live in one part
of the country or another? Get this.
on the Pacific coast records show
that the annual thunderstorm sched-
ule provides for rarely more than two
or three performances. In the south,
Florida especially, thunder storms are
much more frequent, but less danger
Gus because Of the fact that the clouds
usually travel higher in that section.
The chances one runs of being
struck Mr.. Humphreys observes, are
not as great as those taken by daily
riders on street cars There are more
| than one hundred accidents on street
cars during a year but the total num-
Der of rides per year 10y the country 5
population reduces the percentage Of
/ chance
There is actual danger in thunder
storms" declares Humphreys
enough To warrant the individual
taking ordinary precautions. But
there is no Justification for the feal
experienced by the average person
when the flash and noise of the storm,
come.
He advises seeking shelter, prefera
bly, in Steel-frame building. If il
the open keep away from barbed-Wir,

GERMANY PUTS YELLOW
STREAK IN HER FLAG

BERLIN, July 2l.-(By Frank f..
Mason, ]. y. S. Staff Correspondent }
Germany is advertising herself as a
nation with a yellow streak" is the
bitter complaint of Il. G. Got in the
Hamburger Fremdenblatt. do YOU
know the English expression yellow
streak p" demands Herr Got. You
can readily find il in the English
German dictionary. 1t means cow
ard at heart.
The German national assembly de-
creed that upon the demand of any
foreign warship the German seaman
must hoist flag with a broad yellow
streak through The middle. He must
not only show the yellow streak to
every foreign warship, but raise it be-
| fore every foreign fortfication when
he comes into the harbor."
The national assembly changed the
! imperial black -white-red flag to the
| republican black gold-red banner
The change in the national colors has
been the subject of bitter comment by
the royalists. who explain: Cold i,
for the past, red for the present and
black for the future" Herr Got sees
In the gold stripe a yellow streak.
"Our flag will be the flag with the
| yellow streak to everyone who under
stands the English language, whicl
means most of the marine world. l
will be considered the symbol of ;
people who are towards at heart. Th'
stripe stares the world in the eye, thu
stripe which from every flagstaff pro
claims that Germany is democratic
and incidentally a coward folk. HoV
long will il he until this coward peo
pie tear the yellow stripe from thci
flag and from their hearts,"
