PRESIDENT HlDEN
POINTS OUT NEED
Of CELEBRATIONS
Hardly City in the State But viii
Hold Celebration on That Day-"Buy
At HOme' the SlOgan-Many Towns
viii Hold Home Coming Day
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 3O.-In an in
terview today, Charles j. Haden, pres
ident of the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce, said, in reference to the wide
spread observance of Georgia Prod
ucts Day on November IS, 1914:
This year the problems Of reviving
home production in Georgia and buy
ing at home what we eat and wear are
of such vital Importance that every
body is deeply concerned, and the well
fare of our whole commonwealth
should induce every family that does
not participate in a public or commun-
ity Georgia Products Dinner, to have
a home dinner of Georgia Products on
November 18th.
Georgia Products Day is an es-
pecially fitting and happy occasion for
holding family reunions, particularly
of families that have lived long in
Georgia. No better time for a home
coming of those who have wandered
away from Georgia could be found.
"The good fellowship, cheer and
aouraoa and onti,,,icp, fo, 4bo f,4,,,o
that can be created by dinners of field
peas, hog jowl, persimmon beer and
apple cider, not to attempt to mention
the hundred and one good things to
eat that are to be had everywhere in
Georgia now, will make Georgia Prod
ucts Day, 1914, day long to be re-
membered.
"The very essence of this observance
is simplicity and economy going
back to the landmarks of our fathers
in our emergency We wish the people
to become imbued with the idea of
systematic economy as a resource in
pressing times. We want to keep our
money in Georgia; at least for a sea-
son to stop sending money far away
to mail-order houses for numberless
unnecessary knick-knacks. If every
person in Georgia would save ten cents
a day, it would, during the next twelve
months, mean $4,000, 100000 or nearly
twice what we will lose this year on
the price of cotton"
Besides the splendid prices offered
in connection with Georgia Products
Day dinners, announcement of which
was made few days ago, a consider
able number of additional prizes con-
tributed by Georgia manufacturers will
be announced shortly The details of
the offers are being worked out at this
time.
A large number of Georgia cities and
towns have already assured the Geor-
cir Chamber of Commerce OF enthus-
iastic observance Of Georgia Projects
Day Atlanta is making preparations
TO have a most unusual celebration, the

LIVES IN A STORM
lBy Associated Press.)

LONDON, Oct. 3O.-The Ropilla, a
British hospital ship, bound to France
for load of wounded soldiers, struck
rocks near Scarborough this morning
Three boat loads of passengers were
saved by lifesavers, but fifty-eight
persons are reported missing or still
aboard of the ship.
Four of the crew were washed
ashore early this morning. Little hope
is felt for those still aboard the ship
as the waves are breaking fast over it
and it will be only a matter of few
hours until the ship is completely de-
stroyed. 1t is impossible to save them
owing to the high sea.

1t is believed here that the entrance
of Turkey into the war will bring on
several naval engagements of import
ance. Turkey has a strong feet in the
Black Sea. The a4dltion OF the German
cruisers Goeben, and Breslau, which
they secured from Germany gives them
the advantage of Russia which has
several ships there, but all of type
smaller variety.
Russia has announced that she will
wage a protective war against Turkey
and that as far as she is concerned
will not attempt to invade the coun-
try. Her aggressive moves will be
