THE SOLDIERS CLUB
IS NOW OPEN IN
MARIETTA
A Nice Place Up Town For
The Soldiers to Rest
And Write.

The soldier boys who come up
town on leave, will not have to stand
idlv around the street corners any
more. nor will he be obliged to seek
the hospitality of the stores for a
Mace to write or sit down in a COM
Portable room.
The committee organized some
time ago to handle this matter, are
now able to report comfortable,
first class, rest room and club, for
these men.
Here we also wish to remind our
people that books, magazines, flags
or other decorations of a homelike
character are needed all the time.
The men are only able to come to
the club room in the evenings, but at
certain hours they are there in num-
hers. and it would do you good to
see how much they appreciate it.
We print below the report of the
committee to this date:
1.-The Committee representing the
Marietta Soldiers Welfare Commits
sion, opened up on last Saturday the

THE EASIEST SAVING
PLAN IS D|VISED
FOR YOU HERE
And Every Penny Is A Tack
In the Coffin of German
Militarism.

The National Thrift Campaign for
the South Eastern section has been
organized and is ready for work.
Hon. Hugh Richardson, of Allan
ia, is the state director, and chair
men for each congressional district
have appointed. The State head
quarters have opened offices at &c
Mouth Forsyth street, Atlanta. Mr..
Morgan L. Mcneil, of Marietta, has
been named chairman of the seventh
district.
The thrift campaign means just
exactly what it's name implies to
teach the people to be thrifty, to
save, to care for the small amounts
on the demonstrated fact that the
large amounts will care for them
selves.
The war savings stamps are of two
kinds; first, the United States thrift
stamp, which cost the purchaser rs
cents each, and, second, the United
States war savings stamp. which cost
the purchase of SAP each.
Sixteen of the thrift stamps plus
12c in cash in December 1917, or
January, 1918, will purchase "a war
savings stamp, which when affixed to
war savings certificate is the guar
antee of the United States govern
ment and the people of the United
States to repay, on January l, 1928,
the full amount with interest at a
per cent. compounded quarterly, or
total of $500.
The thrift card is a pocket-sized
ehrd given free of charge to purchas-
ers of thrift stamps.
The war savings stamps bear in
terest and are as safe financially as
the United States.
Every man, woman, and child
should buy the war savings stamps,
because:
Our country is at war.
The more we save the more labor
and material will be available for the
use of the government and for the
support of our army.
They establish the soundest and
simplest basis Of savings, which is
the key to individual success.
There is no safer investment in
the world.
War savings stamps must increase
each month in value.
Buying the stamps is as simple as
buying an ordinary postage stamp,
and when the plans outlined by the
Georgia organization are completed,
will be very much simpler.
This is the simplest security ever
offered by a great government to it's
people. Any man, woman or child,
white or black, who can save 20 cents
can obtain at any postoffice or bank
and most of the stores and shops, a
United States government thrift
stamp and thrift card to which to
attach it. This starts you as an
investor and puts you behind your
government. When you secure six
teen of the thrift stamps, you can,
by adding a few cents, come into
possession of one of the war savings
stamps, and right then your earning
accounts starts. You can buy both
stamps at the same place.
You should buy these stamps now,
because the cost of the war savings
stamp increases one cent every month
after January 81, 1918. The sooner
you buy them the less they cost.
What they Cost.
The cost of the war savings Cor

Hard on The Farmer.
There are hundreds of corporations
whose annual profits each year reach
into the hundreds of thousands and
millions" said Mr.. Kitchin, that will
pay not a cent Of excess profits tax
under the finance committees amend-
ments because being highly prosperous
during the pre-war years they are
making the same profits now and
therefore have no excess. Under the
finance committee amendments as to
excess profits and incomes, the United

The excess profits tax is entirely un-
workable, Mr.. Kitchin charges. bec:sise
it requires in 80 cases out of 100 a
physical valuation of all the assets of
each taxable individual, partnership or
corporation" not only in the year when
the tax is collected. but for each Of the

stupendous task, it Is declared, would

WORK OF MILKING MACHINES
Test Made by United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture In Dairy
Regions of Many States.

The United States department of ag.
riculture has put out a bulletin on
milking machines. They made studies
in dairy regions in New York, Michi-
gan, Ohio and Illinois. They found
that in herds of Is cows or less the
average time required to milk a COW
by hand is a fraction over seven min.
utes, and by machine a fraction under
five minutes. In herds of so cows the
average time required is seven min.
utes, but by machine just a little more
than four minutes.
The cost per year to milk a COW in a
herd Of Is cows or less is $1O.91 by
hand, and $10.45 when the herd mum.
bered 30 cows or more. With machines
the cost was $11.75 per COW in herds OF
Is cows or less, against $7.34 per COW
per year with 80 cows or more in the
herd.
In computing these figures, a total
of 1853 farms were investigated. Inter.
est on the investment, the value OF
gas and oil, the cost of repairs, de-
probation and labor were all consid.
cred.

SC0URs IN YOUNG ANIMALS
Generally Result Of Overlooking or
Use Of unclean UtensiIs-Best
to Reduce Feed.

Scours in our animals is generally
the result of overlooking or feeding
from unclean troughs or buckets, or
from feeding food that is stale. Milk
fed to calves should either always be
sweet, or always be sour. If it Is one
thing n time and the other the next,
1t will result in scours.
The buckets should be as carefully
scalded out as are the pals in which
the milking is done.
Musty or bin-burned grain should not
be fed. particularly to young animals.
When the calf gets too much milk
or the young pig gets too much feed,
we have scours. possibly thumps in
the pig.
The best remedy is to reduce the
amount Of feed, clean up the troughs
and buckets, and give a good dose of
castor oil. Two ounces is a dose for a
calf, and from a t%easpoonful to a des-
sertspoonful to a growing pig. accord

RIGHT WAY TO CATCH SHEEP
Take Animal Either by Hind Leg or
Put Hand Under Jaw-Never
Grab 1t by Its Wool.

An experienced sheep breeder and
flock master says never catch a sheep
by the wool. This causes the animal
unnecessary pain. But this is not all.
When you catch the sheep by the wool
you are likely to pull out the wool,
thus leaving a bruised place in the
flesh of the animal. If the sheep is to
be sold for mutton the flesh will show
this bruised condition.
The proper way to catch a sheep is
to take it either by the hind leg just
above the gambrel point or by putting
the hand underneath the lower jaw
or neck. In using a crook it is impor-
tant that the sheep are not caught be-
low the gambrel joint, as injury to the
leg is liable to result from this.

Tomato animals and are usually graft
fed to do the will of their master. If
possible, an animal should be broken
to mind without fear of punishment.
In breaking dogs to handle stock it is
a great advantage to have stock that
is used to being driven by a dog, upon.
which to break the puppy. Stock that
is not used to a dog is often easily
frightened, or it may fight the dog. 1t
is an excellent plan to have an older
and well-broken dog to assist in the
training, as dogs are initiative. The
puppy quickly learns what is wanted
by association with the older dog. In
training dogs avoid shouting. 1t is as
easy to teach them to mind a single
word or a whistle, and much more sat
isfactory, and remember that much
more can be accomplished by kind
ness than harshness.
