CHICAGO MINISTERS PRAISE
DAY BOOK SERMON IDEA

Great idear' That's what DR.. Mar
tin D. Hardin said when he heard
that The Day Book was going to
run a series of sermons by Billy Sun
day this week. DR.. Hardin is pas
tor of Third Presbyterians church,
225 S. Ashland blvd.
There is no reason why printed
sermon should not have as great
moral effect as the one delivered
from the church pulpit, " said DR.. Har-
din. "a sermon is effective when it
makes a man think. True, the ora
tor has the advantage of being able
to gain impression through his per-
sonality. but at the same time the
printed sermon must necessarily en-
body the personality Of the writer
Then the printed sermon is always
there. It can be treasured away and
it admits of no doubts or discussions
as to what was said or meant.
ct is a good idea, this innovation
of The Day Book. 1t will make peo-
pie think and it will accomplish
good"
ct is a practical plan and will add
another feature to the many unique
attractions of your paper" said the
Rev. Vim. H. Ohan of the Eleventh
Presbyterian church, at Washtenaw
av. and Crystal st.
81 think Billy breaches a good ser
mon, but how his elOqUence will
look on the printed page we will have
to read next weeks issues of The Day
Book to find out, " sal dthe Rev. Chas.
F. Wishart of the Second Presbyter-
ian church, Michigan av. and Goth
st. 81 hope these sermons will be
widely read, for it will prepare Chi
cago for his coming.
81 am a believer in the Rev. Billy

bringing him here in word and spirit, "

AND STILL THEY WIN.

played at Ponce de Leon Park, Ma

Saturday by the score of 7-3 and
As. The games were played in an
hour and As minutes and an hour
and 35 minutes
Although Sal. Smith had gotten
together the fastest bunch of anna
tuers and professionals the Gate City
has to boast of, they were out classed
in every department
Sails team was composed of four
professionals, tw0z college players,
the rest being the best amateurs
the city.
The Marietta team played jam-up
ball in every department. The field
ing was nearly perfect, only one
error being made in the IS in
nings. The pitching was air tight
and the base-running a shade better
than the article turned out by Ty
Cobb.
Every thing was tried by the Ma
rietta team and every thing was got
ten away with.
Kemp worked the first game and
while touched up rather lively at
times was strong with men on bases
and got stronger as the game pro-
crossed.
none out and an unassisted double
play with the bases drunk, saved sew
A triple play with two on and
eral runs, and were decidedly the
features of the game.
After starting rally, the first
two up hit safe, Carrie up, hit to
Cassidy on third, Cassidy fielded the
ball clean touched third for a force
out threw to McClain at second,
then to Hawkins on first in time to
force both runners.
The play was pulled with tighten
ing like rapidity and was greatly
appreciated by the thousands of fans
present.
The second game was won by the
great pitching of Kane and base
running of Northcutt and Mcneil.
These two boys are about the fastest
we have ever seen and any time
they get On, it is just good for q
run.

Der of Commerce What can we add7
Atlanta, Ca, May 20, 1915.
Editor Marietta Journal,
Marietta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
Allow us to express to Marietta
and Cobb County our most genuine
appreciation of their participation in
the Seeing Georgia Tour" Their
handsome delegation, always at the
front, captured every crowd around
the 700 mile loop. Everywhere they
left in the public mind the impress
sion that a man had better standing
in Marietta, socks, that dinner had
a better flavor when eaten in Mari
eta chairs, off Marietta table, and
even death was worth dying when
assured that Marietta monument
was to rise above the grave.
Very truly,
c. j. HADEN,
Pres. Ga. Chamber of Commerce

Mr.. JAS. 7. ANDERSON
BUYS FINE HEREFOR0S

Mr.. j. T, Anderson has just return
ed from the great Hereford cattle
sale held at Orchard Lake farm at
kentland, Ind. The Chicago Live
Stock World devotes about ten col
umns to the news of this sale and
says in part:
Thing of Georgia sending two
buyers who got the largest number
of cattle at such a sale. With the
South coming on as a distinct factor
in the Hereford market clearly
new era is established. 1t looks as
if the famous Davis herd in Missis-
sippi is to have competition at home
worthy of its strongest metal"
Mr.. Anderson bought eight head Of
these famous cattle and they will be
placed on his fine farm at Powder
Springs. With what he already has
this gives him one of the finest heN1s
in the South and one that Cobb can
be proud of.
The cattle sold were descendants
of the King of Herefords, Perfection
Fairfax" Fourteen of his sons sold
for $22, 5S0.OO, an average of 81 ,613
each. The highest sold for So, 800.
five of his daughters averaged $86S.
or an aggregate of $4,34O.00.
The entire offering of IS Here
fofds brought $57,455.O0 or $4,000
average apiece. Think of the best
cattle men in the country buying at
their own price at auction and pay
ing nearly $4,000 head for cat
tie. Think of a bull selling for
$3,S00.00 at auction. l say it again
THINK and act and maybe some day
we can have good cattle country
in Georgia.
