Treat Arranged for Visitors by Seventeenth Infantry Next Wednesday Afternoon.

WINECOFF AIDS.

Frank Harrell, lessae of the Winecoff hotel, last night notified The Constitution that he would provide rooms at his hotel for twenty of the corn club boys.

Mrs. Harrell stated that he was very glad to be able to help the chamber of commerce care for the youths who are doing so much toward the betterment of agricultural conditions in Georgia.

There's hardly a boy in the land to whom the sight of soldiers marching and the sound of martial music is not entrancing, and for the Corn club boys who are to be in Atlanta this week.

Colonel J. T. Van Orsdale, commander of the Seventeenth infantry, United States regulars, at Fort Mc Pherson, has arranged a rare treat.

On next Wednesday afternoon the boys will be guests of the fort and the soldiers will turn out on full dress parade for a review by the Corn club lads.

There will also be a musical drill as part of the afternoon's entertainment.

Homes for 650 boys who will be in Atlanta

Tuesday for the Corn club exhibits have been provided, and as there are approximately 1,000 boys expected the committees in charge are making every effort to secure additional homes.

The boys will be asked to report directly to the capitol when they arrive Tuesday and from there, they will be assigned to places to stay.

It is expected that there will be about thirty exhibits from the Girls' Canning clubs also and these will be placed in the rotunda of the first floor near the governor's office.

The boys' exhibits will take up part of the first floor and a great part of the second floor.

INDIAN ELEPHANTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO KIND TREATMENT

Miss Orford and her elephants, the headline act for the Forsyth this week, arrived here Saturday night from New Orleans.

The big act was the feature at the Orpheum in that city, and had to rest up for a week between the Crescent City and eastern engagements.

Upon arrival at the Terminal station, the party was met by two of Chief Beavers' mounted men and escorted through the streets to the Folsom garage, on James and Cone streets, where the elephants will be quartered during the week.

There was no livery stable large enough to accommodate the great animals, so space was secured for them in the garage.

That the elephants, especially the Indian elephants, are the most susceptible to kind treatment of any animal, domestic or wild, or of any size, is the declaration of Miss Orford, the young lady who is appearing in vaudeville with the three elephants.

Miss Orford cites her own experience as an elephant educator in proof of this statement.

"Elephants," says Miss Orford, "are not only the strongest, but positively the most patient of all animals.

They have another characteristic that we all might follow to advantage, and that is that they are forgiving.

Even when mistreated, as they frequently are, by unwise and brutal keepers, although they become irritable for a time, they quickly forget under a short reign of kind treatment and become as docile as ever."
