But Motor Vehicles Have Not Sup
planned Horses

"Thc horse has not been sup
planted by the automobile ana the
truck on the farms Of Kansas nor
will he be, but as is well known,
motor transportation is increasing
very rapidly" said j. G. Mohlcr,
secretary of the state Board OF
Agriculture, in II statement issued to-
day.
while eight out Of every ten
Kansas arms are provided with
some form of motor vehicle. auto
mobiles, trucks or motorcycles. there
are more hOISps in Kansas now than
before the Introduction of gasoline.
ION March /, 1929, there wore
lli,7l9 automobiles, 5.i:ia trucks,
and i06 motorcycles on the 152, 400
farms. The popularity Of the auto
in the country is also borne ont by
the fact that of the 23J.Jl2 automo-
bllcs registered on the first day Of
March, 4S.7 OF them were owned by
those in rural environments. The
auto has brought the farm at least
half day closer TO the city on the
average, and with its aid the farm

ANOTHER ACCIDENT AT
THIRD STREET BRIDGE
Rev. Mr.. Rock Is Injured When Car
Hit Railing Head On

Rev. Mr.. Rock. PASTOR of the
Methodist church nt solomon. and
/ his father, who is visiting him. were
severely injured and their Ruick car
damaged to the extent OF about 500
when Mr.. Rock drove head ON into
the railing of the Third street bridge
as he was coming here Tuesday
evening to preach at the Methodist
revival. Mr.. Rock was unfamiliar
with the town and in the rainy night
thought h" bridge light was over the
center Of lh" roadway. His car
struck IL" iron railing aud both PASS
rhGcrs went through the Windshield.
Their faces were cut and lhrr
"d other injuries, but fortunately
none rs serious aS such an accident
might have caused Ia
going 0t usual speed.
This is the sixth accident recently
due 10 tn" deceptive position Of the
bridge rails. Lights over the bridge
do not seem 10 help, especially when
rs in this instance another car Is an
preaching. The Third street bridge
Is not only dangerous to traffic but
its roadway Is badly worn and the
structure may go into the stream
any time. But there seems TO be
nothing Abilene can do about it-all
the bonds possible under the law
have been voted. The county was
expected 10 do It's share this year
nut no action was taken by the com
missi0ners and the old bridge will
continue on Its wreck -strewing way
until fatality occurs and then
perhaps somebody will act.

PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
FOR GREAT TEAM AT
Old M. H. S. THIS YEAR
Mangager Bob" Read and Cap
tain Clay are putting them
Through Hard Scrimmages

With the first game only ten days
off the sounds that issue forth from
the vicinity of the back yard of the To-
cal High School makes me think that
one little school out in the 'piny
woods by the name of the Seventh
District A & M School is going to get
terrible 'lickin" about the 22nd of
this month, when they take on the
aggregation representing old M. H. S.
Captain Clay says that thirty-five
men have been working out every
afternoon under the watchful eye of
Coach Shang Read. Only light
workouts were taken last week, but
the orders from now on will be scrim-
maging, and there is no need to say
that those scrimmages will be hard.
Those that don't know it now will be
aware of the fact in few days, if
they stay on the team.
The thing that is now worrying the
coach is the lack of an experienced
back field. Manager Bob Read is the
only man on the team that has ever
had any experience in the back field,
but if he gets three running mates
that can carry the ball with him, why
they wont need a line-only a score
keeper and lines man.
And now with the first game won
on paper-we are anXiously wait
ing for the next foemen to arrive.

DR.. Fowler FAILS
TO FILL HIS DATE HERE
MONDAY NIGHT
It Is Understood That Sickness In
His Family Prevented His
Coming. Large Gathering

It was announced in last week
issue of The Journal that DR.. Fowler
would deliver an address in the Park
Monday night, on "The Truths Of the
Ku Klux Khan"
Monday night at seven o'clock the
clouds looked very threatening and
the crowd that had gathered to hear
the address in the Park assembled in
the court house.
The first few gathered in the court
house about seven. and by seven
thirty the house was full. The crowd
waited, some of them for an hour
and still the speaker did not come.
Reliable information obtained this
morning gives the reason as sickness
in his immediate family. 1t is not
known whether or not he will speak
here any time within the next few
days, but we feel that the people of
this county, and Marietta especially,
missed some inside facts concerning
the Ku Klux Khan and it's aims, ideals
and accomplishments. DIR. Fowler is
president of Lanier University, and
one of the best public speakers in the
state.

WALKER GOVERNOR; CLAY AND HEAD WIN
EIGHT YEAR OLD
AUTO THIEF WILL
GET THIRTY DAYS
Too Young To Be Convicted In
Regular Court. Four Others
Get Sentences With Him.

Marietta is generally first in any
thing she goes at, and certainly she
is the first to have an eight year old
automobile thief that we have heard
OF. The thief referred to is Morgan
McMickin, a negro boy, who was
brought before Mayor Gam Friday
on the charge of taking Ford be-
longing to one of MaEietta's promi-
Inent families.
Morgan took the key out of the Ford
about six o'clock Wednesday after
noon and waited until after dark to
take the Ford away. He went to ride
down the pike as far as Jonesville
and then came back to town and went
for his friends. He had gotten as
far as Lemon street on his way back
to town when the gas gave out.
He had in the car with him
"Spanky" Strickland, aged 16, AL
fred Williams and Lemus Benjamin.
They helped him to roll the car down
Lemon street, but it would not crank
an there the joy ride stopped.
Mayor Gam gave Morgan 80 days
on the streets, in view of the fact
that he could not be convicted in the
Superior court on account of being
only eight years of age, and he gave
the other two ten days a piece.
Bill Miller was also sentenced to
thirty days for attempting to start
a car belonging to Mr.. Benson.

The American Legion Plans
Gorgeous Celebration Saturday

til pleasure of witnessing here. They
will see how the different branches of
service cooperated with each other
in actual battle. as every officer In
charge of this military reproduction
is one who actually participated IN
active fighting on the fields of France.
In order to give the people of At
lanta an idea of not only daylight
fighting but also night engagements,
this production will be staged prin-
cipally after dusk, thus enabling
everyone to see the signal rockets
Chenille rockets, the much talk
about flares (Which seemed to the
dough-boy burned so brightly for
hours but which actually burned for
about minute or two). Machine
guns dealing out repeated death will
be situated all over the place and in
support of these will be the famous
French IS guns, which sound like
terrific explosion every time they fire.
This occasion will probably be the
only time that Atlantians will have
an opportunity to get real good
concrete idea of BATTLE during the
World War. Major General Shanks
from FIT. Mcpherson is to personally
supervise this great military specta-
Gle. Hence, spectators will be assur-
ed that every detail will be worked
out with military accuracy and eff
ificiency. Following this wonderful re-
production of the great battle at st.
Mihiel, the American Legion will
stage a pugilistic encounter in front
of the grand stand for those who en-
ioy this branch of sports, which in re-
cent months has become so popular
in Atlanta. especially since it has
been put on under the auspices of the
American Legion.
The Legion Posts of Atlanta have
spared no expense in putting on this
gorgeousa celebration on Saturday,
the 18th. :.
/ Tickets admitting a spectator to all
of the above described attractions
will be fifty cents and the American
Legion boys guarantee to satisfy
EVERYONE before they leave that they
have been well repaid for coming
out. as the American Legion does not
90 into but very few things but such
things as they do enter into they
make a grand success of and this
time we are sure will not be an ex-
ception.

MAR|ETTA-CANTON
TEAMS BATTLE To
Il INNING DRAW
Darkness Stops Game-0ver Fiji
teen Hundred Present. Hen
derson Fans Twenty.

Marietta and Canton battled to an
II inning 3-3 tie at Canton Wednes-
day afternoon in one of the best
games ever played in that town.
Canton is not yet convinced that Ma
rietta is the best ball club in spite of
the fact that Marietta had the game
won up until the ninth inning.
Hap" Henderson was on the
mound for Marietta and he got a
wonderful game out of his system.
He allowed only one earned run
throughout the eleven frames, and
made twenty of the Canton boys
step up to the plate and fan the
breezes in vain-they couldn't see
which way they were coming.
Canton put on over in the first
frame, and for the next five innings
it looked like it would be a 10 VIC
tory for Canton, but in the sixth Ma
rietta put over three counters and
we took one easy breath, and then
yelled-slightly. This stopped the
scoring until the ninth.
With two down in the ninth and
two men on the paths. Wheeler came
up and poled long fly to right filed,
Blackstock got under it all right but
the sun was in his face and he drop
ped it, letting two men score and tie
the game as before stated, darkness
stopped it in the eleventh.
The tie will b played off some time
in the near future, either here or at
Gainesville.
