WILL CONTINUE CAMPAIGN

Atlanta, Ga, July 1.-The cam.
paign for War Saving Stamps in
Georgia will be continued until the
state has secured her quota of $751;
100000, according to Hugh Richard
son, state director, who states that
a complete organization has been Sc
cured in every county, and the lead
crs will go on with their work until
Georgia has been placed in the class
where she belongs.
A number of counties secured their
quotas on last Friday, June %, the
great National War Savings Day pro-
claimed by President Wilson, and a
numbers Of others secured the quota
in various militia districts. But the
state as whole is a long way short
of the state quota.
The main reason for the failure to
secure Georgia's quota on Friday
states Director Richardson, is the fact
that SO many citizens pledged them
selves to buy $50 worth Of War Saw
ing Stamps and then stopped. In or
der to secure Georgia's quota, it is
necessary to sell an average of $40
for every man. woman and child
white and black, in the entire state
Thousands of children cannot buy.
and their parents, of course, must buy
the quota for the family. Thousands
of slackers and pro-Germans will not
buy, and loyal citizens must buy more
than their quota to make up for these
Hence citizen who can buy ST 900
worth of Stamps and ought to buy
81 900, worth has not done his duty
until he does.
The negroes of the state have like
wise complete organization in ev-
cry county, and they also will con-
tinue their work until they have Sc
cured subscriptions for the negro
quota, which is about $27 100000.

GEORGIA LEGISLATIVE
RESUMED BUSINESS TODAY

Atlanta, Ga, July 1.-Returning to
Atlanta today from a three-day re-
cess during which time majority of
the members devoted themselves to
the War Saving Stamp campaign in
their respective counties, the Geor-
gia Legislature today resumed bust
ness with a general determination to
place war legislation at the top of
the calendar and dispose of it first.
The principal war measures on
which action will be urged at this
session are the bill charging the pow
ers and increasing the appropriation
of the State Council of Defense, and
the bill requiring All sble-bodied men
between the ages of 18 and so years
to work at least five days in every
week, regardless of whether they
have incomes sufficient to support
them. This is strictly a war measure
to be enacted for the duration of the
war. after which it will cease to be
operative.
The general appropriation bill will
OF course consume a good deal of
the time of the session. Heretofore
the incoming legislature has usually
passed a general appropriation bill
covering two years, but last years
bill provided appropriations for one
year only, making it necessary to pass
another one-year bill at the present
session.

THE GIRL WORKER
IN THE CANTEEN
A Romance Growing Out Of The
War In Which She Has
Figured
MISS BLAIR WEEDS ENSIGN

All of the romances growing out Of
the war are not confined TO Red Cross
nurses and wounded soldiers nor to
American bluejackets and Irish col
leens. Canteen workers in the Y. NJ. c..
A huts in France are also victims of
the love gods arrow as the following
story just received by the National
War Work Council of the Y. NJ c. A.
shows:
Miss Mildred NJ. Blair. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chauncey Blair, of 1880
Drexel boulevard; Chicago, had been
selling chocolate and cigarettes over
the canteen counter in a Red Triangle
hut in the French port of X. for
several months when she became the
principal figure in the first American
military wedding to be held in France.
Among the soldiers and officers TO
whom she sold articles was Ensign H.
Barlow Farr. of ia West Tenth
street, New York City, chief of shore
patrol in the town, and graduate of
Princeton, class of 1910.
Miss Blair announced her engage
ment ito the Ensign not many weeks
after she sold him an article in the
canteen. Her fellow workers deco
rated the hut and arranged for the
picturesque naval wedding in spite of
the absence of the regulation full
dress.
Admiral Wilson, the Admiral of the
port, gave the bride away and Ensign
Fairs brother, Shelton Farr, petty Of
ficer on board an American vessel as
signed to duty off the French coast,
was best man. The wedding march
was played by the band from one of

ARMY OF WORMS
MARCH OVER A BLUFF

The Diet at Worms, has nothing on
Littleton. West Virginia, where the
march of the great column of worms,
three miles long and 100 yards wide,
which drove the farmers from their
fields in that section, has ceased. The
worms travelled in such great masses
and so close together that they fell
over blum and died.
Professor L. NJ PEARS. State ento-
mologist, has been there investigating
He says nothing like il has ever been
known in his experience. He says the
worm is of a form that does not live
long away from moisture. 1t has never
been known TO march in such great
numbers before, nor can he find any
record of any such extended march.
Professor PEARS says the worm is
know scientifically as ''polydeamus. T"
One woman swept two tubfuls from
her six-foot square porch during the
march. People around the section did
not work for several days because of
alarm over the situation.

ALL-AMERICAN IDEA
SPIRIT OF THE TIMES
X. IL. Spear Heads All-American
Truck Company. Becomes
President

In keeping with the spirit of the
time, the All-American Truck Com
pany has conceived the All-American
Idea, which is the greatest and most
thoroughly All-American movement
that has ever been inaugurated in the
history of Motor Trucks movement
that embodies certain principles that
are bound to be the future fundamen-
tai basis on which trucks will be built
and sold
This typical Yankee" idea is an ir-
resistihle force. closely identified with
every operation of the Company
Every development of the business
involves the direct application of this
splendid patriotic principle.
This All-American idea is briefly
summarized in Mr.. Spears own
words:
I'm our modern factory only
American Citizens Are Employed
Only Parts That Are Made In America
Are Used In The Manufacture OF Our
Super-Trucks.
Our Entire Sales Organization is
comprised solely of American Repre-
sentatives, distributors, dealers and
statesmen.
For the period of the war All-Ameri-
can Super-Trucks are sold for service
directly connected with the general
war program.
American ingenuity, which can be
depended upon to decide the worlds
struggle in our favor, gains both
strength and momentum from the APP
plication of scientific principles, from
the coordination of the various indus
tries and the cooperation of all of the
forces of labor.
The All-American Idea produces a
maximum result through the applica-
ton of scientific principles by these
forces of unquestioned loyalty, and
believe that the extension of this idea
to other lines of Industry, and its
support by numerous Associations OF
Trade and Commerce throughout the
United States will be but a natural re-
suit
This plan can be applied with equal
success in solving the inter-city haul
age problems for the relief of the rail
roads in short hauls where motor ex-
press routes are being established and
trucks operated on regular schedules
This form of transportation is rapid
ly becoming more popular each day
affording better facilities and greater
dispatch.

GOOD MORNING

Day dawns, and bids the blushing sky
Good morning."
The fiute-voiced birds take up the cry:
Good morning."
And nearer home, beneath the caves,
The gnarled old naples tender leaves
That shivered in the midnight rain,
Now whisper at my window-pane:
Good morning."
The genial sun peeps DER the hill
And laughs across my window sill
Eyes culver under sleepy lids
This is the King himself who bids
Good morning."
l rise and open the window wide
The sun-kissed breezes charge and
ride
Straight through the breach in merry
rout,
And scale the walls and fairly shout:
Good morning."
They pluck me captive to the King,
They pluck at me and bid me sing
Their paean to the Golden Day,
Whose conquering slogan is their gay
Good morning."
They frolic here, they scamper there.
They clutch the singing birds in air,
On all the world their music beats
Until the captiv world repeats:
Good morning."
Heart calls to heart The surly wight,
Who scorned his neighbor yesternight,
With smiling visage stops to greet
That neighbor in the busy street:
Good morning."
o! joyous day, o. smile of God,
To hearten all who toll and plod,
We hail thee, Conqueror and King.
We hug our golden chains and sing:
Good morning.
