Save 100000 Bushels

There is no shortage of potatoes,
corn and oats; the milk supply is not
pinched, spring gardening will supply
much for our tables. But we must,
as nation, save 21,OOO,OOO bushels Of
wheat to feed the armies. Not wheth-
er we want to or not-we MUST.
Every American is urged to cut his
average ration of wheat by so per
cent, which would reduce the total
normal consumption of 100000
bushels a month to 21,0O0,0O0 bushels.
That gives ration of not more than
~ pounds wheat product weekly
for each person. Flour sales will be
cut to one-eighth of a barrel for .
town customer and to one-quarter OF
a barrel to a country customer, that
retailers stocks may be distributed
to as great a number as possible.
The wheat contents of bakers bread
will be reduced to rs per cent on
April IA, which increases by 5 per
cent the amount of substitutes that
must be saved.

FOOD FACTS
PREPARED BY
The Federal Food Admin
istration For Georgia
Cut Down What We Eat

The normal consumption Of sugar
in the United States is about 80
pounds per capita We are now asked
to use only an ounce and half
per day, or three pounds per month.
The normal consumption of meat is:
Beef 82.5 pounds; mutton, Z pounds;
pork, 103.5 pounds; other meats, 3
pound; or total of 1895 pounds per
capita per annum. We are asked to
cut down the consumption of meat by
a minimum of one ounce per day. We
could probably cut down our consump-
ton by quarter of pound per day
and still not miss It, thereby saving an
abundance for our allies abroad.
OF fats we eat 3.42 ounces a day
We are asked to cut this down to
about II ounces per week.
OF wheat and wheat -four products
we normally eat about 1S pounds a
month per capita. We are asked to
reduce the consumption now to 6
pounds per capita per month.
Of corn we normally eat about 3.5
pounds a week. We are not asked to
restrict ourselves in the use OF this
cereal in any particular. In fact, we
are asked to eat larger quantities OF
corn in order that we may materially
reduce the consumption of wheat -four
to a positive minimum.

COLORED MEN LEAVE
FOR CAMP FUNSTON

On Monday morning thirty-one
colored men, named in our columns
last week, left for Camp Funston,
near Kansas City, Mo. They were
placed in the charge of two of their
number who were authorized by the
local board to command the COM
pany en- route.
They will reach their destination
on Tuesday evening late. They all
appeared in the best spirits, and as
they formed in front of the Post
Office, and marched to the railroad
station, they were the envy of many
of their colored brothers who were
left behind.
Probably the most disappointed
and surprised man in the county was
one Jesse McMicken, who had been
summoned to appear with the others
on Sunday afternoon. Jesse evident
ly took too many farewell drinks as
he did not appear until Monday
morning and then in drunken and
rowdy condition.
The board turned him over to De-
putty George Hicks who delivered him
to the military authorities at Camp
Gordon, where he will have to answer
at court marshal trial.
For the boys who are going west
we wish the best of luck and we be-
lieve they will make good soldiers.

AMERICAN ARMY RIFLE
SUPERIOR TO THAT USED
BY GERMAN TROOPS

American troops are armed with
faster firing and more accurate
rifle than used by the Germans, ac-
cording to our expert designers, man
ufacturers, and marksmen, says a
statement by the Bureau of Ord
nance. One military critic and
writer CLAIMS the German Mauser
does not permit the most skilled user
to get more than so per cent of the
firing speed of the modified Enfield
adopted for the United States SER
vice.
The superiority claimed Tor the
American weapon is supported on
three counts: Quicker firing as a
result of bolt-handle design, easier
and quicker sighting as result OF
sight design, greater accuracy of bull
let flight resulting from bullet de-
sign and greater mechanical accur-
acy of chamber and bore.

EMPLOYMENT SERVICE TO
SUPPLY FARM WORKERS

A special farm service division is
being established in most of the 100
Offices of the United States Employ
ment Service as one Of the plans for
meeting the labor requirements of
the farmers. Special field agents
are being sent into districts where
acute farm-labor shortage exists or
where unusually large numbers will
be needed.
A weekly bulletin will be issued in
which opportunities for farm employ
ment and the needs of certain dis
tricts will be listed Posters announc-
ing the location of Federal State
employment offices are being hung
in post offices, railway stations, and
other public places.
All third and fourth class post of
fees of which there are $4,000, are
now authorized farm-labor employ
ment offices. During the harvest
season in certain States temporary
offices will be opened in number of
cities for the purpose Of furnishing
accurate information as to where
harvest hands are needed.
A weekly report of farm-labor CON
dition is being sent to the main office
at Washington by all the branch of
fees and by many State employment
offices.

CARD FROM AUSTELL WOMAN

Austell, Ga, March 13, 1918.
Editor The Marietta Journal,
Marietta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
l am a subscriber and reader of
The Marietta Journal and like it so
much. 1t is filled with information
and news and / look forward to get
ting it, every Friday with a great
deal of pleasure.
IN reading the news of Austell in
The Journal printed about two weeks
ago, | read a little item which filled
my heart with pain, for am a mo-
ther of some of "our Austell boys"
Let me say here that the writer of
the Austell news is surely not mo-
ther, or she has not studied the in
fluence of suggestion on the human
mind, especially the young minds.
Let me say here in justice to our
boys, we have none whom l predict
will JOIN the "chaingang". 1t is true
quite number are young and make
thoughtless remarks as well as do
thoughtless things but what are we
older heads here for than to help
them cross over the tide of life safe
ly. Speaking for the mothers of
Austell l am sure we are proud of
our boys and predict a great future
for Austell when they become men
among men.
One thing specially noticeable a.
mong our boys; they are true and
loyal to one another and are ready
and willing to give a helping hand to
one another when called upon.
Looking thru the years to come /
see a Golden Chain with each boy
representing its links, helping each
other to be loyal, faithful citizens of
Austell, with Heaven for their goal.

There was no trace of scnti-
mentality in either voice or look.
But there smiled out from her
honest, kindly eyes the la,'g"
mothrr-,sn that has bound so
many fl ;rndS to her. She had
come to sing to them as if they
had been her boys-erring, but
still hers.
When HE warden led the way
to the stage. she shook her head
and walked down among the men.

her charming broken accent. "I
have six of them myself. I am
going to sing some songs you will
like to hear"
Then followed song after song
more than she had sung at the
concert the night before.
Later she visited the men in
their cells. The prisoners were of
many races; but Nine. Schumann-
Heink is linguist. and for each
there was greeting in his own
tongue. Last of all she came to
the prison librarian. He was an
Austrian, like herself, and spoke
her own dialect. Presently he was
telling her about himself. He was
a ''lifer.' and had served %
Years. Since an operation OH the
back of his head he had been called
the model prisoner of the north
west.
Nine. Schumann-Heink made
further inquiries and learned that
a blood eliot at the base of the
brain had been the apparent cause
of his evil doing. AS a result of
her interest. his sentence was CON-

ly, brother, it has ever been thus.
Our great and only Richland
county fair gave it's first exhibit
many years ago, to make the fair
a success, there are eight papers
in the county, six Of which. are
outside of Wahpeton and were the
means Of getting the farmers III
terested, to bring their stock and
products to the fair, for this pur-
pose, each of the county papers
have published $4,000 to $4,000
worth of locals or readers gratis,
Il week before the great fair, the
county papers would receive u
half-page 'ad for nine dollars
which was kind Of salve to take
out the soreness. Again the Globe
Gazette would get the phat take
from $4,000 to $4,000. Yea.
verify, brother, it has ever been
thus. But-never, again. Last
year The News published about
$63 worth of locals and readers and
half-page ad, and all for 5000.
Will the secretary of the Richland
County Fair Association be so
kind as to publish the Globe Ga
zette's plat take beside The News
poor little old nine dollars against
the Richland County Fair Asso-
citation.
And the The Times might add
that this feeling is shared by the
Lldgerwood Broadaxe, the Wynd-
mere Pioneer and all honest and
fair-mindcd citizens and taxpay-
ers Of Richland county. who be.
lieve i'll fair play. and that it is
time to retire certain political pets
OF the Globe Gazette monopoly to
private life, and the time is now
near when this end will come
about without fail, and all will be
left for the hearse and the flowers
and the march to the political
burying ground. Things are diff.
ferent now than they used to be.

FATHERS AND SONS

Many a man has given up
smoking or drinking, or swearing,
or gambling, as his sons began to
emerge from childhood and showed
an ambition to initiate him in his
bad habits as we'll as his good.
We all can remember some
older person whose ways influ-
enced lis when We were young.
The fathers of boys, therefore,
should take thought over his con-
duct to make sure that it will
edify them and not mislead them
into evil. They have right to
good example from them. They
have the right to see him practice
his religion-say his prayers, keep
his temper, go to his work. etc.
They have a right to look to him
to guide them in the way that will
lead to eternal life.
