Hoped to my station beside Tars Tar
kas at the rear of the column.
We made most imposing and awe
inspiring spectacle as we strung out
across the yellow landscape; the two
hundred and fifty ornate and brightly
colOred chariots. preceded by an ad.
vance guard Of some two hundred
mounted warriors and chieftains rid
ing five abreast and one hundred yards
apart, and followed by a like number
10 the same formation, with a score or
more of flankers on either side; the
fifty extra mastOdOns, or heavy
draught animals, known as zitidars.
and the five or six hundred extra
thoats of the warriors running loose
within the hollow square formed by
the surrounding warriors. The gleam-
ing metal and jewels of the gorgeous
ornaments of the men and women. du-
plicated In the trappings Of the ziti-
dars and thoats, and interspersed with
the flashing colors of magnificent silks
and furs and feathers. lent a barbarIc
splendOr to the caravan which would
have turned an East Indian potentate
green with envy.
The enormous broad tires of the
chariots and the padded feet of the
animals brought forth no sound from
the moss covered sea bottom; and so
we moved In utter silence, Ike some
huge phantasmagoria, except when the
stiffness was broken by the cultural
growing of a goaded zitidsr. or the
squealing Of fighting thOats. The green
Martians converse but little, and then
usually in monosyIlables, low and like
the faint rumbling of distant thunder.
We traversed trackless waste Of
moss which, bending to the pressure of
broad tire or padded foot, rose up
again behind us, leaving no sign that
we had passed. We might indeed have
been the wraiths of the departed dead
upon the dead sea of that dying planet
for all the sound or sign we made in
passing. 1t was the first march of a
large body of men and animals / had
ever witnessed which raised no dust |
and left no spoor; for there is no dust |
upon Mars except In the cultivated dis |
tricts during the winter months, and |

South's Largest Motor
Exhibition At Atlanta

ATLANTA, Feb. 17.-March 5-12
inclusive, will be held the largest and
most complete exhibition of motor
ears, commercial vehicles and acces-
series ever staged South of Chicago
and New York.
In the passenger car division will
be shown uponwards of one hundred
models or types of leading makes,
embracing the whole gamut from the
small roadster or runabout to the
large enclosed sedans or de luxe
editions.
There will be models suitable for
every purpose and within reach of
every purse; types that appeal to the
professional man, to the merchant,
the farmer, the travelling salesman
and the wife, from a combination
utility and social vehicle. The very
latest engineering practices will be
exploited and the exhibition will be
the means of further educating the
public in all that is best in the gaso
line propelled car or truck.
The truck or transport division will
be complete within itself, exhibiting
the fastest designs in commercial We
hicles, comprising trucks of every ca
pacity and especially suitable for ev-
cry purpose.
The accessories will occupy a
prominent part in the show, giving
to the public an opportunity of view
ing and seeing demonstrated all use
full equipment of this character.
The motor car has become a neces-
slty, as is proven by its use through
out America by two million farm
ers, by thousands of travelling men
who have adopted this means of in
dividual transportation, by the mer-
chant, the doctor and those in other
lines of business activity.
There will on exhibition says W.
G. Turpin of the Turpin G. Co., a
complete line of the latest Buick
models. Demand is already showing
an increase and we are confident Of
splendid business in the early spring
months. However, we anticipate !
shortage in production and are urging
the placing of orders now.

COTTON FAILS TO
WORRY this MAN
T. |. DeVane RAISED
Only 4 Bales Last
Year

The boil weevil problem is Of
small Importance to 7. j. DeVane,
who operates a 488-acre farm six
miles from this city in Shiloh COM
munity. Last year Mr. DeVane
raised only four bales of cotton on
his entire farm, none of which have
vet been marketed, but he raised an
immense quantity of corn, velvet
beans, peas, potatoes and other farm
products.
He markets his grain in the form
of meat, having a large number OF
cattle and hogs grazing always on
his broad acres. He utilizes every
by-product Of the farm, killing his
meat himself and bringing the car
cases to Americas, where these are
sold to butchers at top prices, and
without the worry incident to ped
ding such products. Refuse parts
of beef and hogs slaughtered are
used to enrich the soil.
He sells between $50 and $75
worth of hogs weekly in Americas,
besides living almost entirely on the
products of his farm. Already this
year he has planted fifty-five acres in
oats, with good stand secure, and
FIVE acres of growing wheat, which
promises to supply biscuits for his
farm family throughout the year.
One 100-acre field on his place will
be planted later in corn and velvet
beans to be "hogged off" in the fall
and marketed in the form of swine.

even then the absence of high winds
renders It almost unnoticeable.
We camped that night at the foot
OF the hills we had been approaching
for two days and which marked the
southern boundary of this particular
sea. Our animals had been two days
without drink, nor had they had water
for nearly two months, not since
shortly after leaving Thark; but, as
Tars Tarkas explained to me, they re-
quire but little and can live almost in-
definitely upon the moss which covers
BarsoOm, and which, he told me. holds
In its tiny stems sufficient moisture

"Dejah Thoris sleeps and I am lonely.
l promised to tell you my story, or
rather the story of my parents. From
what have learned of you and the
ways of your people / am sure that
the tale will not seem strange to you,

"My mother was rather small, in
fact too small to be allowed the re-
sponsibilities of maternity, as our
chieftains breed principally for size.
She was also less cold and cruel than
most green Marian women, and caring
little for their society, she often
roamed the deserted avenues of Thark
alone, or went and sat among the wild
flowers that deck the nearby hills,
thinking thoughts and wishing wishes
which believe I alone among Thank
