All War Work
Committees Busy

On Monday morning Chairman
Legg was up before day, working
among the crowds of joyous men who
rushed down town at a. m. to cele-
brate the peace signing.
He secured many good subscrip-
tions and reports from all over the
county show that fine start was
made on that day, Austell GOING away
over the top with her quota by 10
o'clock.
Acworth, Smyrna and other dis
tiicts have followed with oversub-
riptions, and Of course the whole
county will do so. 1t is only ques-
ton of how much over the top we
go, and it is our hope that our quota
may be doubled before this paper is
in the hands of our readers.
In town the activities of the War
Work organizers for the past week
have been continuous, and number
q good meetings have been held.
The Thanksgiving meeting OH Mon
day evening at the Methodist Church

was filled to Overlooking and many
of our citizens made fine talks,
On Wednesday evening the Ladies
United War Work Committee held a
great meeting at the Court House,
giving screen pictures and the cause
OF each of the seven divisions of the
war work was presented by some one
in short talk.
On Thursday as we go to press

men OF 1S To IS
TO Be CLASSIFIED
BY LOCAL BOARDS
None Are Being Indicted
Into Service; Men Over 36
Need Not Fill Out Their
Questionnaires

The offices of the local beard is
still scene of activity as the men
between 10 and SO years of age on
Sept. 18th are being physically ex-
amined.
This, however, is nearing compile
ton, after which the men who are
between 18 and 10 years of age on
s. pit. 18th will be taken up, and these
men will complete and return the
q estionnaires sent them.
None are being indicted into the
2. rrice or sent to camp however, AMI
probably will not be at ALL
The board desires us to say to the
rlen who were over SO years of age
on Sept. 18th, that they need not
FIJI out or sign them at all, but are to
put them in the envelope which was
sent them at the same time and re-
t1rn to the local beard.
1t is not yet definitely known just
what will be done about all these
things but it is safe to assume that
no more men will be taken and those
in the camps will be returned to
civil life as rapidly as possible.

GREAT WORLD WAR
COMES TO AN END
Thrones and Emperors Go
Into Scrap Pile; Victori-
GUS Allies Make Future
>. Safe
THURSDAY, NOV. IL SHOULD BE
WORLDS THANKSGIVING DAY
Entire County Awakened at 3 A. M.
By Whistles, Bells, Guns and
. Fire Alarm In Marietta

At three o'clock Monday morning,
when the bells and whistles turned
loose every citizen within miles of
Marietta knew that an armistice- had
been signed-that Germany had sur
rendered-that the war was over.
By previous arrangement it had
been agreed that Immediately upon
nfirmation of the news, the whistles
and bells were to announce it, and
in mediately the citizens were to as
semble on the square as rapidly as
possible.
Long before daylight the streets
around the square were alive with
seething humanity. Every possible
means of producing noise was
brought into play. Guns and pistols
were discharged so rapidly that it
would have made the men from the
front line trenches seem at home.
William S. Hart, nor any other
grnman in the movies, ever eXcelled
the speed and skill of some of the
Young men and girls in the use of
y
rtvolvers.
But Just at daylight came a quiet
and serious moment. The big flag
was brought out and instantly the
crowd surged around the flag pole in
the park. For moment silence pre-
yailed, then the folds of Old Glory
we're hauled up the staff to the top,
while heads were uncovered and
america" was sung by the assem-
bled throng. Then a wild burst of
cheering and the noise making pro-
ceeded as before. The occasion and
scene was an impressive one, as it
vas unusual, the silent assemblage
around the flag at the break of day.
A new day had indeed dawned for
the world. The rights of humanity
had been made secure. Autocracy
had been overthrow, and the world
was free and safe to live in once
more. No longer could it be said
Right forever on the scaffold, Wrong
forever on the throne" No longer
free men trembled at the tyrant's
wrath.
In the history of the human race,
November the eleventh will be fixed
as one of the milestones. It will
stand out on the calendar in letters
of red 1t should become the inter
national holiday.
Locally, before daybreak, holiday
lad been declared The president
said something about it later, but we
heat him to it. All business was sus-
pended and the entire day given over
to celebration and thanksgiving.
The latest reports seem to estab-
hsh the Kaiser in Holland, whittier
he had managed to escape the fury

THE FIRST DAY OF
WAR WORK DRIVE

The. initial returns from the Unit
et. War Work Drive on Thursday
morning were rather disappointing.
1t was clearly evident that many
&c. not attach so much importance
to the need of this fund as the did
before the war ended, while it is real
ly more important than ever.
Many who should have given TWEEN
ty-fve dollars were giving only five,
and many who should give five were
giving only one, while q few who were
amply able to give twenty-five CAV.
nothing.
To the latter class, we can only
say that they fail to appreciate the.
Christian land in which they hold citi.
zenship, They are certainly not en-
titled to any place in the catalogue
Of patriots, and that they are con-
d mned to remain within the Pounds
OF their own narrow lives is It
IS severe a retFibutioa as we e1.d
wish them.

MORRIS HAS ACTIVE
SPEECH-MAKING TOUR

Judge N. A. Morris made a tour
Of eight counties last week, speaking
IN each of them in the interest of
the United War Work Campaign.
He wound up the week with a
meeting at Cedartown on Saturday
evening at 1880, and just as he was
gong on the stand to speak, he was
somewhat disconnected by the news
that N. A. Morris, Jr., had arrived at
MS home during his absence.
Assurances, however, that the
young man had come to stay, enabled
the Judge to put some of his en-
'hQslasm into his address.
; He returned to Gainesville on
Monday and spoke to an outdoor au-
ulence of several thousand people, the
courthouse being too small to hold
the crowd.
Inc Judge reports an active inter
est taken by the people in the cam
palgn in all counties visited.

WORLD PEACEATLAST
PROVISIONS WON'T DECLINE
IN PRICE FOR SOME TIME

AT least four years more of
high prices is j. Ogden Armour's
prophecy, following the advent of
peace. The Chicago packer was
quoted today as saying:
81 do not think provisions will
go any higher, but at the same
time they are not likely to de-
cline for some time to come.
There will be big trade for the
next four years. 1t looks to me
as though prices for grains will
not recede rapidly and the same
applies to other things. 1t will
be some years before prices get
down to normal. 1t is FORUM
ate that we have good stocks, as
Europe will need a lot, the home
supplies being used up"

Warehouses Bare
of Cotton Goods

Washington, Nov. 13.-(Special.)
Our committee of the cotton states
marketing board has been in confer
ence here today with government Of
ficials relative to the cotton situa-
ton and the unjustified decline in
the cotton market during the last tive
days.
Mr.. Charles j. Brand, chairman of
the government committee on cotton
distribution. issued statement late
this afternoon which, in our opinion,
will strengthen the cotton market.
Mr.. Brand points out that the ship
room which may be devoted to cot
ton should increase very rapidly as
a result of the armistice, thus re-
lleving the congestion at the ports.
He also shows that the worlds
warehouses and shelves outside the
United States are bare of cotton
goods, and that Europe's consump-
ton of raw cotton during this sea-
son should exceed the consumption
of last season by not less than two
million bales.
This statement, coming from an of
fetal of the governmental charge of
cotton distribution, should bear out
fully the action taken at the recent
conference of cotton producers where
in the farmer was advised to refuse
to sell bale of cotton for less than
IS cents a pound.

THE WORK-FIGHT RULE
HAS BEEN DISCARDED

Cancellations OF all draft calls has
practically nullified the celebrated
work-or-fght rules of last summer.
This rule caused thousands who
might have remained idle to seek
employment in the essential indus
tries of the land, and thus speeded
UP production to some extent.
With draft calls stopped the gov
eminent loses power to enforce the
rule and aside from the fact that this
may cause idleness among worth
less class of negroes, no harm can
be done.
BY degrees all normal working
conditions will be resumed.

Dave Shell of Emmet was a caller last Saturday. Dave asked us to state to the people of Me- vada county that he would at the proper time be in the race for sheriff. That he would have an nounced before now, but that unfortunately for some purpose he was connected with the kill ing of a man in Clark county and was arrested, charged with con- plicity in the crime. The Grand Jury met in Philadelphia last week and completely ignored the charges against him, so he feels that now the people know for a fact that 1t was a false charge and that he goes before them with clean hands. None of Dawes friends ever believed that he had a thing in the world to do with 1t from the beginning. He has always lived a clean, honor able life, and the Picayune IS truly glad that he has been thoroughly vindicated in tnls matter. and that he can now go before the people of this county on an equal footing with every other candidate for that office.

FARMERS WIN ON WHEAT

There has been a vast deal Of com
/, plant during the past two years, by
American farmers, over the price
. fixed by the government for their
wheat. Intended as a guarantee to
stimulate production by guaranteeing
a liberal profit and stabiliZing the
market, the price was soon attacked
by farmers as an understandable In
reference with their business.
The sudden end Of the war has
made big difference. Immeditely it
released large stores of wheat in
Australia and Argentine. The result
IS a sudden easing Of the worlds
wheat situation and spectacular
drop in prices abroad.
At home the price of wheat il the
same as II was before the signing Of
tie armistice, $500 bushel to the
farmer, and quoted recently around
S2.fD in New York City. Moreover
Mr.. American Farmer Is guaranteed
/ shat same, good old 1920 for every
bushel Of wheat he has to sell until
June T. 1920.
Australia is said to be selling
most of its surplus to the British GOV.
eminent for 9G cents bushel Some
e3,0Oo000 bushels not needed by
Great Britain is reported to be avail.
able at Sl14 a bushel. The United
. states food administration figures
that Australian wheat could be de.
delivered IN this country at a total
cost Of $3.50 a bushel. Next wear it
may be cheaper yet.
The farmers are naturally keeping
, rather quiet on the wheat question
now. They know when they are well
on. They begin to realize that they
were treated with as much lberality
az was possible without gross inius.
tice to American consumers The
producers might have got more for
their output in an open. unregulatod
market during the last few months.
. but they never got less than their
wheat was worth and from now on
, they Will certainly more than make
up any imaginary losses Of the past.
Instead of being robbed, they are get.
ting bonus,
