Bio Liberty Loan Drive Was
Opened Here Saturday, 28
Weather Prevented Staging
OF Parade But Great
Crowd Gathered at Court
House For Speaking.

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
er+v Loan was opened in Marietta
on last Saturday with great gather
ino in the Courthouse. On account
of the rain the parade was postponed,
but the rain did not keep the crowd
from coming out to the band con-
cert and to hear Mr.. Harvey's ad-
dress.
Some time before the speaker came
the Courthouse was filled to the limit
with people standing all around the
aisles.
After the band concert by the band
of the 9th Replacement Regiment of
Camp Gordon, Mr.. R. E. Harvey,
Chairman of the Atlanta zone of the
9Th Federal Reserve District, was in
troduced by DR.. /. A. White. His
address was one of the best ever
deEeverd in Marietta and he was in
terrupted time and again by the ap-
plause and cheers from the audience.
Mr.. Harvey introduced to the audi-
ence Corporal Kenkar Of the 7th
Regiment, U. S. Regulars, who is
lust back from the firing line in
France. He was wounded on July
the 18th, in the first large battle the
Americans participated in as an in
dividual body, having lost his left
arm. He testified to the wonderful
showing the American boys are max
ing and in answer to question by
Mr.. Harvey stated that he had only
one regret and that was he was not
able to return to the front again.
During his remarks you could have
easily heard a pin drop in the court
room and after taking his seat the au-
dience rose in a body, cheering to
the honor of this young man who has
already made his sacrifice for his
country.
Mr.. Harvey impressed on his au7

at home to back up these boys who
are fighting for them by buying bonds
Of the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is call
to the people at home, which must
receive the serious consideration of
every real true American. 1t is the
duty of every person not only to sub
scribe to the Fourth Liberty Loan to
the full extent of their ability, but
to use their influence to induce 9th
ers to do likewise.
The boys in the trenches are doing
their part and it is up to the ones
at hCme to do theirs.
Bear in mind the bond which you
buy represents your gun in this great
4 war.

Cobb County Clubs TO Hold
Fair In Marietta October 10
PR|CE-F|X|NG OF COTTON
INDEFINITELY POSTPONED

Following one of the most import
ant meetings, in Washington, of the
Cotton States Official Advisory Mar
keting Board, attended by more than
100 Southern Senator'S and Congress
men, Commissioner of Agriculture j.
| j Brown, President of the board,
brings back the good news that there
will be no arbitrary price fixed on
this years cotton crop.
Commissioner Brown emphatically
expresses this opinion, and it is fur
ther confirmed by kilograms from
Washington from Director L. B. Jack
son of the state bureau of markets,
who remained to attend later confer
ences with government officials.
Commissioner Brown said:
"We made it clear to the govern
ment cotton committee, | am sure,
that it would be unfair to the south
to fix a price for cotton in the midst
of the harvesting season; and espec-
tally when not over 20 per cent of
the crop will be needed for war
purposes. / am convinced that no
action will be taken, looking to price
fixing, as to the present crop, and |
believe such action is now indefinite
ly postponed.
"In order that cotton prices may
adjust themselves at proper level un-
der the law of supply and demand, |
earnestly suggest that farmers gin
their cotton gradually and market it
slowly and cautiously, and that all
cotton not for market be held in the
seed This will prevent congestion
at the old mills, and avoid damage
to seed through heating.
"This action will have the effect
of restoring normal conditions, both
at the mills and in the cotton market.
With the price of seed fixed at $71,
there is no danger of decline.
Reports to the Cotton States Mar
keting Board show beyond question
that the average cost of producing
the present crop is little above 35
cents a pound-varying from 81
cents in some states to SO and 38 in
others. 1t is conceded that the farm
e. is entitled to a margin of profit;
and if it should ever become neces-
sary to fix price, / believe it would
be put at least between 35 and 40
cents.
"The government, we were assur-
ed, would buy it's own cotton in the
open market, just like any other pur-
chaser. We find the world has con-
sumed Al 100000 bales of American
cotton the last three years, while the
production for the same period of
time has been only about 33,000,C00
bales. Yet / do not feel justified, un-
der these fants, in advising holding
for a price above 35 cents. In my
opinion, however, if the farmer will
hold cotton in the seed for a short
period, it will go above that figure
and if the law Of supply and demand
is left unhampered, in my judgment
it will bring around 40 cents in the
near future.
"Should changed conditions make
price fixing necessary in the opln-
ion of the government, we have been
given positive assurance that the cot
ton states will be given a full hear
ing before any action is taken"

breeds of hogs, seed selection of

ton to details in vegetable culture
and conservation.

ment. The State Agriculture Col
lege and the District Agricultural
Schools are engaged mainly in this
work.
We wish to urge on every club
member, whether in canning, corn,
wheat or pig club, to bring in your
exhibit early October. 10th, that it
may be gotten ready for the big
crowd that is sure to be in attend
