SAW NO USE in GETTING UP
Correspondent in City Visited by Zep-

and Touched Wood.

was billeted at the time of the first
Zeppelin raid in a little, smelly house
Of three floors and six apartments.
The house wa packed with the orig
nal tenants, Jew and Greek, together
with such dodgers as myself. In our
hat OF four rooms and q kitchen were
the landlord and his lady, four sons
and two daughters. The sons slept
on the sitting-room floor, and if you
came home in the dark you were like
~ to tread on them. Two French Off
GERS shared the best bedrooms. while
| slept alone in the second best.
'Bang-bang-bang" went the bombs from
the Zeppelin; the French officers cried
"En bas!" and the boys banged at my
door yelling ~'Embros!" which is
Greek for "Forwards!' AS it didn't
seem to matter much where II went,
the whole thing, failing dugouts, be-
ing purely a question of luck, I STAYED
in bed and touched wood. The crashes
Of the big bombs were terrifying. The
houses hook with each explosion; but
rs all t~hings-good Or bad-must come
to an end, so too, after a while, ended
this business. A wonderful orange
colored blaze lit up the world outside.

PROVED EQUAL TO OCCASION
Super's Blunder Merely Served to
Show the Resourcefulness Of
Hamilton FootIites.

Dewey, discussing the naval battle
of Skagerrak, said at Il Washington
luncheon:
"A naval officer, to succeed, must be
very quick-witted and resourceful. In
fact, he must be like Hamilton Foot
lites.
Ham Footlites leaned on the rail Of
his s%ea-going yacht s%oliloquizing about
love while the blue waves rolled and
heaved splendidly, each blue wave
being a super under a roll of canvas.
But the waves were here and there
t~hreadbare, and suddenly a wave
ripped and a head bobbed up in tho
midst of the heaving sea and stared
around in bewildered fashion.
Ham Footlites silenced the audi.
ence's filters with one stern glance.
"Man %overboard!' he yelled in
stentorian tones.
Then the super, managing to draw
back his head through the hole in the
wave, disappeared. Ham Footlites
heaved a stormy sigh.
"'Another victim seized by the re.
lentless sea, alas he said"

CHAPTER VIII

The man slept, and the train rushed
on. The night Waned. The dawn grew
purple In the east, and streaked itself
with gold; hen later got out a fillet
OF crimson and drew over it's cloudy
forehead. The breath of the lilies filled
the little room with delicate fragrance,
and mingled strange Genes in the
dreams OF the man and the woman so
strangely united.
The sad little bride grew restless and
stirred, but the man on the couch did
not hear her. He was dreaming of
a shooting affray, in which he carried
a bride in a gold pencil and was shot
for stealing a sandwich out of Mr.
Holman's vest pocket.
Inc morning light grew clearer. The
east had put on a vesture of gold above
her purple robe, and it's reflection
shone softly in at the window, for the
train was just at that moment rush
ing northward. though it's general
course was west.
curtains stirred again and became con-
sclous, as in many days past, of her
heavy burden Of sorrow. Always at
first waking the realization of it sat
upon her as though it would crush the
life from her body. Lying still with
bated breath, h fought back waking
consciousness as she had learned to

CIVIC LEAGUE CALLS ATTEN-
TON TO THE STATE
! WIDE CLEANUP WEEK

ALREADY the governors proclama-
ton has gone forth calling for a
week to be set apart for the civic
uplift of every community. April
5-12 will be cleanup week in Geor-
gia
Spring cleaning week is now an in
stitution in many of our towns and
cities. This time should be preceded
by campaign extending over a con-
siderable time to produce lasting re-
suits. This new civic spirit, stimu-
lated by community cooperation to-
ward community betterment, will
mean a civic regeneration that will
accomplish safer homes, business
houses and public buildings; a better
looking community; and feeling of
greater selfrespect.
Alleys need attention.
A clean yard is not sufficient: it
should be pleasing to the eye. Plant
grass and flower seeds. Sod bare
spots in lawns Plant shrubs, vines
and trees. See that spaces between
sidewalk and curb are well sodded.
II The lawn mower is a most useful
article, and contributes materially to
the good looks of a community.
The thresholds of a town should be
made inviting to the visitor, whether
he comes by automobile, trolley or
train.
This Civic League asks all citizens
to cooperate in this work, April

ATLANTA JOURNAL CHANGES
DELIVERY SYSTEM HERE

The Atlanta Jour lal has changed
its system of city delivery in Mariet-
ia. The city is now divided into
districts and each has different
agent, under bond and dealing di-
rect with the Journal.
The following are the exclusive
agents in their respective districts:
District l, Carlisle Sheftall; Dis
trict 2, Harry Irwin; District 3, Joe
M. Gable; District 4, Louis r, Hib-
BILE; District 5, Geo. E. Benson; Dis
trict 6, Harold Kerley; District z,
Howard Coryell; District 8, Robert
Nell
This new system makes matters
much more simple as each carrier
will deal direct with the Journal and
direct with each subscriber in his
territory If there is any cause for
complaint there is only one person for
the subscriber to look to and only
one person for the Journal to look to.

SUNDAY COMES
ON APRIL %; LATEST
DATE IN LAST CENTURY,

The 1916 calendar year presents
numerous unusual features and one
Of the most interesting is the late
coming of Easter Sunday, which falls
on April %, nineteen days later than
in 1915, and the latest in 100 years.
Not again until 2106 will there be
such late Easter. In the year 1926
A. D., the old council of Nice estab-
llshed Ash Wednesday and Easter
Sunday, the former always to come
forty days in advance of Easter,
which is fixed by solar and lunar
calculations. According to Nicene
laws, Easter shall come annually on
the Sunday following the first full
moon after the vernal equinox, which
is always March 21. Therefore it will
be seen that the earliest date on
which Easter Sunday may fall
is March FL and the latest
date is April rs. Inasmuch as
Easter this year comes on
April %, the Lenten period will
begin March Is. Again, the year
1916 was ushered in on Saturday and
will go out on Sunday. This is a
happening that very seldom occurs'
and one that gives to 1916 ffty-three
Saturdays. This would occur regul-
arly every % years except that the
compilers Of the Gregorian calendar
provided that centuries not divisible
evenly by four years shall not be
leap years. When a century occurs
as did 1900 there is lapse of forty
years between leap years that begin
on Saturday and end on Sunday.
From this year on the 28-year per-
iod proceeds according to the estab-
lished rule.

A. S. Johnson, 172 N. Halsted St.,
Chicago, ILL.,, president of the largest
concern of it's kind in the world,
wants three or four men in Marshall
county and several men in adjoining
counties, to work for him spare time
or all the time. He can use only
those who have rig or auto. Work
is very pleasant and no previous
selling experience is necessary. Work
consists Of leaving a wonderful new
household necessity in the homes on
free trial. Tests at more than thir-
ty of the leading universities and the
u. S. Governments Buseau of STAN
dards show this new article to be
four times as efficient as article now
in general use in this section. Ar
ticle is needed in every rural home
and benefits every member of the
household, bringing cheer, comfort
and happiness into the home. Not
necessary to be away from home
nights. Pay from $500 to $500 per
day according to ability and number
.of homes visited. In writing Mr..
Johnson, mention what townships
will be most convenient for you to
work in; what your regular occupa-
tion is; your age; married or single;
how long you have lived in the COM
munity; what kind of rig or auto
you have;. whether you wish to work
spare time or steady; how much time
you will have to devote to the work;
when you can start, and about how
many homes are within six miles of
you in each direction. This is
splendid opportunity for several men
in Marshall County and counties ad-
jaining to make good money, work
ing steady or spare time. Some of
the field men earn $4,000 per month;
one farmer earned $1,OOO.OO working
spare time only. No investment or
bond necessary.

"'All right. See you later" Joe Wes-

and powerful poor eating" suggested
Joe soberly.
That's so, and I've about come to
the idee that the harder a man works
the more fun he's goin' to have some
time or other an the more he appre-
ciates it when it does come"
"Sorter looks that way, don't it?"
agreed Joe. "Well, we've got to get
busy now. Come on, let's round up
the calves and stock. I'm going to
turn them in on the oats. Tomorrow
I want the wagon and team. I start
to hauling manure"
"Where from? The stable?"
'No. Mr.. Ralston told me I could
have about fifty loads over there if
I'd haul it off,

'Well, you get on the pony and drive
