348 BABIES ARE ON
UNCLE SANS ROLL
IN COUNTY
Any Left Out VIII Be Reg
istered Here On July
10th And 18th

From start to finish, the Cobb
County Baby Registration week was
a bowling success! Tut, tut! Perhaps
that is the wrong term to use in this
connection, for most of the babies
were as good as gold, and there was
precious little bowling done. But the
week was a success-an unqualified
success-and the committe of ladies
under Mrs Hewitt, the doctors, and
the trained nurses, feel rewarded for
their untiring efforts.
Three hundred and forty-eight
Cobb county babies were weighed,
measured, and thoroughly examined
bv the doctors; and their registration
cards given them to keep, while
most careful record is kept by the
Government. While the average OF
health was high, there were some ab-
normal conditions found that can be
easily remedied, now, but might have
resulted seriously if left uncorrected
For instance, there were number OF
cases of adenoids, ears affected, NAL
nutrition, inanition, ETC., found by the
doctors: there was one little fellow
partially paralyzed, whose family had
not realized what was the matter; and
there were cases where the eyes need
ed immediate attention. But the great
majority were as fine and fit as the
heart could wish, and Cobb may well
be proud of her rising generation.
There are scores of children under
six still to be registered however, and
Tuesday and Wednesday, July 10th
and 18th, have been appointed as the
extra registration days. Every moth
or who was not fortunate enough to
take advantage of last weeks oppor-
tunity, is urged to come then.
This Child Registration is, perhaps,
the most fascinating and worthwhile
war measure adopted by Uncle Sam;
work that means not only better
babes, DuC DeICef, HedlChleI' "i0SA' ,
and more beautiful men and women
in the future. Surely no one will be
a Stacker in this cause.
Great credit is due the hard-work-
ing Child Welfare Committee headed
by Mrs. Hewitt; the doctors, Nolan,
Malone, Perkinson, Harris, Elder, and
Hagood; the trained nurses, Miss An
derson and Mrs. Greer; and the girls,
Misses Emma Katharine Anderson,
Allene Fields, and Aimee u. Glover
all of whom gave of their services
without stint.

HAPPY DAY AT COUNTY LINE

Messrs B. G. Brumby, j. 4. Foster,
and J. J. Daniel were invited out to
the Children's Day exercises at Coun-
ty Line Churcr on Sunday, and they
heartily enjoyed the speeches, reclta-
tons, and drills made by the we'll
trained children. Another happy fea-
ture of the day was the excellent
singing. For forty years the County
Liners have met every second Sunday
for community singing, and the con-
sequence is a chorus of splendldly
trained voices. Mr.. ]. H. Terry Is
leader of the choir and Mr.. lrvln
Hadaway is the children's instructor
A delightful picnic dinner was served
on the grounds.

ed Marietta men made addresses too

A NOVEL VOTING CONTEST

Two of the colored churches of the
city have a novel voting contest to
raise funds.
The contest is for votes for Paul
and Silas, twin baby boys of one OF
the churches on the one hand, and
for Bessie and Bonnie, twin baby
girls of the other church.
At the final round of the contest
they are both to be on exhibit in the
same church, and if they succeed IN
pulling off the matter without any
friction, they will have set an exam
pie worthy of publicity.
Harmony is always said to be a
scarce article at baby show, but we
wish them success.

Miss Cortelyou's reading from Van
DYKE and Miss Helen Faw's reclta-
ton, "That's Ny Boy" were well
chosen and well rendered, and Miss
Patton's solo, Dear Lad o. Nine,
touched many hearts.
Mr.. Fred Morris, in a short address
full of patriotism and deep feeling
presented the flag to the superlnten-
dent, Mr.. Montgomery. He spoke OF
the fortv-one stars, each representing
. life devoted to our country's need
and with emotion referred to the SIN
ole gold star among the number as
standing for the life of Harrison
Smith. a member Of the S. 5. and be-
longing to his class. Mr.. Morris vol
ced the prayer of all present when
bo EXPRESSED the hope that none OF
the other blue stars might turn to
gold"
After the service flag was placed IN
nosition. the roll was called and there
were responses from the nearest OF
kin such as Father here, Mother
here " or Father and Mother here.
In some cases an uncle or an aunt OF
a friend responded, each response
showing there were loyal hearts at
home unfolding the workers lover
tbore" or wherever the Government
has placed them.
The "Star Spangled Banner and
prayer closed the service.

No CASES FOR JURY
At JULY TERM Of
COBB COURT
Judge Morris Issues Order
SO Farmers May Keep
AT Their Work

Notice is hereby given that there
will be no business disposed of at the
regular July term 1918, of Cobb Su-
perior Court that requires a jury
trial, nor will there be Grand jury
impaneled at that time. Court Will
convene only for the purpose of dis
posing of such business that does not
require trial by jury All default
judgments can be taken at that time.
There will probably be an adjourned
term of court later in the summer.
In the event that an adjourned term
of court is held all criminal and civil
business returnable to the July term
of court will be in order for trial.
This direction is given for the reason:
(a) That the farmers will not be
through laying by their crops. There
is great scarcity of labor on the
farms on account of so many having
been called to war. 1t is extremely
important that they have full oppor-
tunity to raise all farm products pos
sible.
(b) Jail is practically clear and
the business of the court is well up.
(cl At a meeting with the Bar OF
Marietta on this date they unanimous
ly requestd that there be no jury trial
business disposed of at the regular
July term of Court.
1t is ordered that the Clerk OF CoDD
Superior Court publish this notice IN
the Marietta Journal, Cobb County
Times and Acworth Post for two
weeks in order to give all parties,
witnesses, etc, full notice OF TINS or
der and save them the expense and
time of attending court.

LISTSOF ARKANSAS
 LANDS IMPORTANT
Other States Showing Great Interest In This Work Writes D. c. Welty of The Missouri
 Pacific Railway.

As an additional reason why Arkan- sas residents should furnish him with information concerning cut-over or wet lands in this state that can be converted into farm lands, D. c. Well ty, agricultural commissioner of the Missouri Pacific railroad, calls atten- tion to the great interest that is be- ing manifested throughout the North.
 The Northern states intend to take the fullest advantage of this opportunity to secure government aid in making improvements and it is up to Arkansas to make an earnest ef- fort to compete with these states, writes MT, Welty. He is anxious to make as large showing as possi- ble from Arkansas, because the more land that is available for coloniza- tion in this state, the greater the in terest government officials are like ly to take in Arkansas possibilities.
 Mir. Welty has taken charge of this work of the Profitable Farming Blu reau of the Little Rock Boarl of Commerce. The work is being done at the governments request. The plan is to obtain in every state list of lands that could be converted into farms. On these lands it is planned to place returning soldiers and war workers who will be thrown out of employment after the war ends. At present the government merely is making a preliminary survey to ob- tain an idea of the lands that are available and where they are loea- ted. The converting of these lands into farms will entail vast amount of work by the government.

TWIN SISTERS MEET IN MENA
Each Travels Over Thousand Miles to
 End Four Years Separation.

Twin sisters who had been separa- ted more than four years held each other in their arms at Mena Saturday as finale to a thousand mile journey each had taken. It was sort of re- union of north and south, for Mrs. George D. Stone had come from Ham, llton Mont, while her sister Mrs. J. k. Gardner had travelled northward from Coleman, Tex. Both had made the long trip to Mena in motor cars. The sisters were married at Salt Lake City, but were born in Missouri. Both are great travellers and have visited at one time or other nearly every state west of the Mississippi. MT. and Mrs. Stone came to- Mena last week to look into the possibili- ties of sheep ranching. Hearing they were here, Mir. and Mrs. Gardner cranked up their Ford and started to leave Texas behind them. Tine Gard ners have been until recently inter ested in oil production on the east coast in Mexico. At the Hotel Mena where the twins met, guests had in- teresting experiences in endeavoring to tell the sisters apart.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS OF
 CoMPANI0NSHIP AND LOVE
Judge John s. Kelly and Mrs. Kelly Celebrate Their Golden Wedding
 Anniversary.

Fifty years ago today, October 22, 1868, at the home of the brides par ents, in Boone county, Missouri, John Smith Kelly and Miss Susannah Spencer were united in marriage.
 Today, at "The Boulders, the home of their daughter, Mrs. Nj. A. Strat- ton, the couple celebrated their gold en anniversary day in quiet enjoy ment of loving messages and fitting tokens of esteem from relatives and friends. Plans for a more pretentious affair were regretfully abandoned by Mir. and Mrs. Stratton at near the last moment because of the epidemic of influenza.
 An interesting feature in the lives of Judge and Mrs. Kelly is that from the home of the bride the couple went direct to the home that the groom had prepared in Windsor, Mo, in which they lived for thirty years, and in which their two children, J. Spen- cer Kelly, now a banker at Estancia, N, M., and Mrs. Stratton, were born. In 1898 they left this home to come to pretty cottage they purchased on Tenth street, which they occupied until some months ago, when they joined Mir. and Mrs. Stratton at "The Boulders," where they expect to spend their remaining years.
 The son, J. Spencer, was expected to be with his parents on this anni- versary occasion until the day all most had arrived, when word came that he had been unavoidably de- tained with affairs at Estancia.
 While ripe in years and experience, Judge and Mrs. Kelly are enjoying each day of life, and the former, in addition to being at his desk in the office of the Kelly-Stratton Company, of which he is the senior mem Der, is continuing his work of sev- eral years as park commissioner for Mena, and is ever seeking new ways to add further attractions to Mena's exceptionally beautiful park.

GERMANS HANDICAPPED
 BY LACK OF SHELLS.
British Progress Has Been Rapid
 Over Entire Battle Line.

British Headquarters in France, Oct. 1S-From information reaching headquarters this afternoon it seems that all the available reserves of the enemy north of the river Lys now have been engaged. Few if any, di- visions can be spared from any sec tion of the front. Moreover, it is ab- solutely certain that the Germans in addition to their other difficulties, are seriously handicapped by a short age of high explosive shells.
 Captured orders show that the German gunners have been urged to use gas shells instead of high explo- sives and all ranks have been com manded to save their brass cartridges when retreating. Even further econ omy is exacted in the use of shells, it being admitted that the lack of ammunition is hampering operations.

TWO HIGHWAYS
 MAY JOIN HERE
Mena Has a Chance to Become A Junction City on Two Great Transcontinental Highways.
 Will Act Thursday.

Mena has a fine chance to get a place on the Bankhead Highway and become the junction point on two of the important transcontinental roads.
 To ascertain the sentiment of Me na citizens towards the wonderful possibilities offered meeting has been called for Thursday after noon at o'clock. The gathering is to be held at the court house.
 Upon his return from DeQueen Tuesday morning, Secretary Eastin of the Commercial Club, who acted as Mena'e representative at a meet ing of highway boosters there, re- ported the situation to members of the executive committee and imnie- diate action was decieded upon.
 The routing of the Bankhead high way from Hot Springs westward has been tentatively planned to touch DeQueen by way of Dierks. But Secretary Eastin learned that the governmental authorities who have the final FOX" to give the route are seeking direct instead of roundabout connections, and it is this fact that encourages Mena to secure a place on the new highway.
 From Hot Springs to Mena the dis tance is nearly 20 miles less than from the great health resort to De- Queen. In addition the route to Me ma offers better scenic and commer- cial advantages, which are consider ed essential to such a project.
 Certain details which Secretary Eastin will divulge at the meeting Thursday must be followed in order to give consideration to Mena's claims A little work, the proper display of spirit and Mena, now as- ssured of place on the Williams highway, can get on the Bankhead route and become a junction city of national prominence.
 Mena's delegate to DeQueen gath ering has nothing but warm praise to report on the manner in which the Sevier county folks entertained the visiting highway delegates at Mon- days meeting.

One Prussian Less.

Through captured Bavari- an soldiers comes the story of the ex- ecution of a Prussian private who had been found sleeping at his post. He was sentenced to be shot, but his Prussian comrades refused to carry out the penalty. A Bavarian compa- ny was ordered to the execution and before it would obey put the matter to a vote. The soldiers finally deci- ded that as it would be "one Prussian lesss the order should be executed, and the Prussian was shot forthwith.

The company will use this property for offices, and for a mining ex-
