BAPTIST HOSPITAL DAY.

To the Cobb County Baptist Sun
day Schools:
AS June the 3rd is Hospital Day in
our Sunday Schools, / wish to call
Your attention to some facts about
the Georgia Baptist Hospital.
1t has treated nearly four thou
sand patients.
Over four hundred have received
free treatment.
Over six hundred treated paying
only part of the actual cost of hos
pital service.
More than fifty crippled deformed
children have had their limbs
Strengthened and been made to walk.
Most poor and treated free.
More than one hundred orphan
children treated free.
More than ninety per cent of the
patients treated free came from out
side of Atlanta. Our Lord when on
earth went about ministering to the
sick.
He left no others except his fol-
lowers to carry on his work. / hope
every Baptist S. S. in Cobb County
will make an offering to the Hospi-
tai next Sunday.
Cordially yours for the suffering,
j. W. L. STOVALL, Supt.,
First Baptist S. S.

RAILROAD WANTS To
HELP GET MORE
FINE CATTLE
N. c. & St. l.. Wants to See
Better Grade of Live
Stock Along Line.

The Nashville, Chattanooga and
ST. Louis Railroad company is very
anxious to see more and better live
stock in the counties through which
its lines run and in this respect is
ready to do what it can to help the
good work along. The letter below
explains just what the road wants
to do and it is just up to those who
may be interested to join with them
in order to help build up our county
in this respect.
Nashville, Tenn, May Goth, 1917.
Mrs. Annie L. Carter, Editor
Marietta Journal, Marietta, Ga.
Dear Madam:
For the information of those in
terested in the territory covered by
the circulation of your journal, /
should very much appreciate your
publishing the following letter, which
we are writing such Of our interest
ed friends in Georgia preparatory to
inaugurating our agricultural and
live stock development work in your
state. The matter, / believe, will be
interesting to your patrons:
ut is the Company's desire
to initiate certain develop
ment work along the w. & A.
in Georgia looking to improved
live stock production, other ag-
ricultural improvements and a
marketing service
This Department has been
quite active in recent years in
other districts served by the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway, and the purpose
now is to carry the work into
Georgia. Our experience along
these lines will aid in the Geor-
gia work, which, briefly, we de-
sire to conduct as follows:
First, the organization of
County Live Stock Associations
in the various counties between
Chattanooga and Atlanta, sec
ond, to utilize such associations
in the distribution of registered
breeding animals among the
members through the agency of
cooperative auction sales, the
cattle to be sold to be selected
and approved by the American
Breeders Association, including
the American Short-H Horn Breed
ers' Association, the American
Hereford Cattle Breeders AS
ISOLATION, etc.
ITO the end that preliminary
matters may be discussed, /
should like to meet number of
those interested in improved live
stock in your county at some
central point located therein at
a date to be named in the early
future. | am wondering if we
may rely upon your cooperation
and support, and whether or
not you will be good enough to
assist in arranging for the Con-
ference"
With best wishes,
Yours very truly,

GOV. HARRIS MAKES
fine DECORATION
DAY SPEECH
Confederate Veteran Made
Great Impression Here
On May 3Oth.

One of the most impressive SER
vices ever held on National Decora-
ton Day was that on Wednesday
when Governor Nat E. Harris made
the principal address in honor of the
Union dead. Those who heard the
speech declared no better could have
been made by any body. Governor
Harris brought up memories of the
past, made statements of the present
and predictions for the future.
He was inspired by memories of
the past as he faced his one time foes
and comrades and several instances
of personal experiences related were
of much interest to his hearers. The
speech was beautifully balanced and
not word was uttered by the speak
er that could have had any effect ex-
cept to strengthen the bond of friend
ship between the one time enemies
that sat before him.
In speaking of the cause of the
war Governor Harris said it was SIM
ply matter of loyalty. On one side,
he said, it was loyalty to the state,
and on the other loyalty to the un-
ion. He urged that every one now
should be loyal to the union and do
everything possible to push the pres
ent war to successful conclusion.
At the conclusion of the Cover
nor's speech the G.. A. R. members
present voted request that Gov
ernor Harris let them have copy
of his address for publication.
A beautiful feature of the occa-
sion was the music of the 18th U. S.
Infantry band.
The formal program was as fol-
lows:
l. Assembly.
2. Music Nearer My God to Thee"
by 18th U. S. Infantry Band and
audience.

R|C FUND NEEDED TO
HELP LAND The
ARMY CAMP
Company to be Organized
To Buy Land Where
Camp Will Be.

Tn order to be sure that there will
he no hitch in carrying out their end
Of the bargain if the United States
decides to locate the army training
camn at Kennesaw Mountain, the
committee that is working on the
rroiect has decided to incorporate a
company to buy the land. This will
reouire about seventy five thousand
dollars and nearly fifty thousand of
that amount has been raised. The
nIan upon which the company is be-
ing organized is absolutely safe as
the subscriptions to stock are not
binding unless the camp is ordered
placed here by the government. The
options have already been secured and
if the government locates the camp
here it will mean that the land is
rented before it is bought. There is
no way to lose or to tie up your
money without a chance of getting
good returns on it. The rental the
government will pay will pay a good
dividend on that amount.
The location of the camp will mean
a monthly pay roll to be spent mostly
in Marietta of million and quar-
ter dollars. This is fifteen million
dollars a year and does not include
the money the government will spend
for supplies.
Mr. Knox Thomas, the city engi-
neer, has taken the measurements of
Monday Creek and finds there is a
supply of nearly three times the a.
mount of water that the government
requires.
The N. c. & st. L. Railroad has a
corp Of engineers at work with others
from Atlanta getting a complete sur
yey of the property regarding the
location of water works and it is
hoped that they will complete their
work in few days.
Several high officials of the N. c..
4 St. L. Railroad were in Marietta
this week looking over the site. They
have promised all the help that the
railroad can give and agree to put
IN all the side tracks that the govern
ment may need for the camp.
All the data that the government
requires for the camp has been pre-
pared and sent to the proper Off
Gals.
The number of people who sub
scribe to the stock for the land COM
pany will show the government how
enthusiastic the people are to Sc
cure the camp. Every person who
owns land in that vicinity should SUBJ
scribe literally and others should join
WIN them as it will be of vast finan-
''"l oenetlt to the entire county.
You can subscribe at the First Ma
I'0il"i Bank or at the office of Hol-
i"no d McCleskey, real estate deal

'iile IS up so you will have to hur-

LAST CALL FOR WAR BREAD.

1870 ~TAA@4~ u YIN w AN bNEAOs
The Georgia farmers for the most
part have given hearty response
to the Governments request for in
creasing the food and feed crops, but
we have not planted enough for home
consumption.
1t is not yet too late to grow the
following crops this year:
Corn to be planted until July 18th.
Sweet potatoes to be planted un-
til July 18th.
Velvet beans to be planted until June
18th.
Soy beans to be planted until July
LIST.
Spanish peanuts to be planted un-
til July LIST.
Cowpeas to be planted until July
1st.
Sorghum to be planted until July
1st.
Cornfield beans to be planted I'M
til July 18th.
Garden beans to be planted until
August 18th.
Irish potatoes to be planted until
September 1st.
Rye and barley to be planted in
August, September and October.
Wheat to be planted in November.
Save Everything This Year.
Late corn to be dried and canned
Beans to be canned and dried.
All root crops to be stored fresh
and dried.
All perishables to be canned or
dried.
Peaches to be canned and dried.
Apples to be canned, dried and
made into by-products.
Berries to be canned and dried.
Plums to be canned and dried, and
made into sauces.
Figs to be canned and dried.
Muscadines and scupernongs to be
made into syrup, fruit juices, jellies
and canned also.
Soy beans, cowpeas and peanuts
to be saved for home consumption
Late corn and vegetables of all
kinds to be sold on the market.
Do not sell or slaughter young ami
mails and young chickens. Save ami
mails until maturity and double meat
supply in this way. Save all pullets
and double the egg supply. Do not
sell broilers and friers. A few weeks
extra growth will double the meat
output from this source. This may
seem to be peculiar or extraordin-
airy advice, but these are war times
and not ordinary times. President
Wilson has indicated that the men
who till the soil to feed the nation our
soldiers and the soldiers of our allies,
will be likely to remain in the field
and not required at the front, espe-
cially for the present.
The man behind the pillow is as
important in this war as the man be-
hind the gun.
Grow more food, conserve more
food, save more food, to do so is our
patriotic duty.
The County agent calls your at
tention to the above.
Read and ACT.
If you are going to have peaches,
cantaloupes or melons for the market
please let me have your address.
Let us all make June 9Th a patrio-
tic day. While the younger men are
registering let US get together and
plan to raise the food needed.
The card below was written by
county agent Mann, Waycros, Ca,
and seems to me to be very good.
Pres. Cheney, of our Food Safety
Association, called my attention to
it.
Don't let FARMERS in other
counties carry off all the money spent
at your local market.
Keep 12 bushel oak ashes, II bu-
shell pine charcoal, pounds common
salt, pounds air Stacked lime well
mixed in box where the hogs can
get it, and keep them healthy.
Keep lice off, worms out, stomach
full, breed to feed and sell in May
and September.

New York, June 2T.--As the result OF
sober second thought several OF the
national sport governing bodies OF the
country hive reached the conclusion
that they acted rather hastily In aban-
doning various national championship
| meets. In the case OF the Amateur
Athletic Union the matter was put 70
mail vote before any decision was
announced and the returns showed an
Overwhelming vote In favor of staging
the track and field games under the
same conditions prevailing in normal
times.
The annual championship meet Will,
therefore, be held as usual but some
uncertainty still exists regarding the
date and place for the games. They
were originally set for st. Louis Aug.
81. Sept. | and g. St. Louis athletic Of
ficials. however, are not positive az
this time that the meet can be proper
" staged there and should this prove
to be the case. the championship
games will be awarded TO some other
athletic center. New York. chicago
and Philadelphia are all understood TO
be willing to assume the task oi holo-
ing the meet in case st. Louis DECIDES
to forego the contests.
1t may also be necessary to cnanSe
the dates for the games should 1t De
found that they will conflict with the
plans for the assembling of the army
AS originally set the junior and senior
meets would have fallen OH the Friday
and Saturday preceding Labor day
with the finals on the holiday with
Sunday for rest intervening.
If it should develop that the govern
ment will begin assembling The new
army on Sept |, as has been unoftl-
cially stated, the dates of the games
will be moved forward a week bring
| ing the contests on Aug. ago rms
will be necessary In view OF the tac'
| that a number of prominent athletes
will enter the service with the hrst
call thus losing all chance of Compel
ing if the meet were to be held AFTER
the date set for assembly at camp.
The championship committee also
has decided that the regular Amateur
Athletic Union die medals >hail nc
awarded to first second and third men
to win places in both the track ana
field events as in past years. II Nas
! the general opinion that SINCE the
zames were to be held the regular
championship trophies should De
awarded instead of the certificates
planned in connection with the sus-
gcsted patriotic meet.
