NOT BUYING UP LARGE
QUANTITIES OF GROCERIES

Atlanta, Ga, May 4,-Atlanta's
wealthy people are not buying up
enormous quantities of flour. sugar,
canned goods and other provisions
and storing them away for future use,
according to one OF the local news
papers which has made an exhaustive
investigation among grocers to find
out whether there was any truth in
reports that such was the case.
Atlanta grocers report that the
sale of canned goods and flour is
somewhat heavier than it would be in
normal times, but they nave not no.
ticed that individual purchasers are
buyingsin very large quantities.
Vegetables in Atlanta will probably
be cheaper this summer rnan in sew
eral years, owing to the fact that
thousands of backwards have been
turned into gardens, while the truck
growers around the city are harvest

ENORMOUS ARMY COULD BE

Atlanta, Ga, May A regiment of

gestion that has come from Rome.
Ga, to contribute to the gaicty Of ma
tons and relieve the tensity OF feeling
which absorbs every American, now
that realization has come of what
the war will really mean to the
United States.
The French with their wonderful
humor and ineXhaustibIe wit in the
very face of death have taught the
world that fun and the most sublime
patriotism can live together, and it is
no discredit to Americans thar the
element of humor enters into the war
news as it has in other countries
But to get back to the Rome hus-
band A prominent and popular gen
tleman of that city, whose name is
withheld for very obvious reasons,
and whose wife is said to be a strong
minded woman, announced the other
day that inasmuch as the conscrip-
ton bill is unfair to married men, he
was going to raise company of dis
satisfied benedicts. He is said to have
got so many recruits in response to
the call for volunteers that his wife
called at his office and solemnly in
formed him that the joke had gone
far enough.

American flag, purchased for the pole
has not been unveiled

Atlanta, Ga, May A patriotic
young bank clerk anxious to enroll as
2 student in the training school for
the Officers Reserve Corps at Fort
Mcpherson was afraid that defect of

at Fort Mcpherson to be examined.

of it.
When his turn came to take the eye
test, the bank clerk was ordered to re-

directed to read the letters and lines
on the eye test board, the purpose be-
ing to ascertain whether his eyes
without glasses were up to the mini
