"The United States represents great people fighting for great cause. We must be true to the ideals which gave birth to our splendid nation and for which we entered the awful conflict in
 Europe. Each day the casualty lists bring the names of more boys, many of them Alabama boys. They must not die in vain, those boys, and it is up to US to see that they are properly equipped for the tremendous task with which we have entrusted them. Only by united response to the bond issues can we do this. The United States government as- sures us every compensation for sacri- fees which our people make, beautifully and eheerfnlly. The government asks you to lend your savings, and by in- vesting in the safest and most demo- cratic financial plan ever presented Ly this country, the buying of War Savings Stamps at per cent compound interest maturing at the end of five years. 1t is big opportunity for the small saver and a great chance for the American people to show the fiber from which they are made As they have been loyai, generous and unselfish in the past, so will they respond in the present. and the state board feels already assured

FRECKIES
Don't Hide Them With Veil; Re- move Them With Othine--Doubie
 Strength

This preparation for the removal of freckles is usually so successful in removing freclSles and giving a clear. beautiful complexion that is it sold by any druggist under guarantee to refund the money if it fails.
 Don't hide your freckles under a veil; get an ounce of Othine and re- move them. Even the first few appli-s cations should show a wonderful inn; provement, some of the lighter freck- les vanishing entirely.
 Be sure to ask the druggist for the double strength Othine; it is this that is sold on the money-back guarantee.

WHAT THE SOUTH IS DOING

Not the least interesting feature asso- ciated wta our agricultural and indus trial advance is the development in the south of very large wheat producing ca pacity.
 The southern states will this year har- vest nearly lSoo00.000 bushels of whear. Missouri is to have a wonderful recori for if the government authorities are correct, tha, state will harvest almost exactly 50.000000 bushels of wheat, which is 20,c00 000 more than her four years average. The best experts who look at the proposition from the point of view of home industry do not hesitate to say that the record which is to be made this year as well as the record of 1915 make it certain that after the war is ended the United States will maintain pre-em- thence as wheat producing and ex- porting country.

MISS ALLENE FIELDS KINDER

fine teacher and a popular one, and

small pupils. However, she has de-
cided to accept the position of Asso-

M. H. S. ATHLETICS
M. H. S. Girls, 12-Canton, 10

The Girls Basketball team of the
Marietta High School opened festiyi-
ties last Wednesday evening with a
practice game against the girls OF
| Canton High School.
Last season when these two teams
met the Marietta girls came out with
the large end of a az to score.
Wednesdays game, however, showed
us that the Canton girls are not an
aggregation to be run over, as they
kept the local girls in hot water every
minute of play for the entire game.
The final score was IL to 10 IN Mari
etta's favor, but Canton was leading
10 to at the beginning of the last
quarter and it took every ounce of
Marietta's streng Tito put the big
end of the score on their side.
In the first quarter, twice were
fouls called on Marietta players and
twice did the Canton goal-thrower toss
the ball through the basket. Then
Rebecca Cole opened hositlities and
threw a difficult field goal to tie up
the quarter to z.
In the second quarter Muriel Will
liams made a brilliant field goal, but
Canton tied the score moment lat
er, when Marie Archer got the ball
with guard nowhere in sight.
The third quarter was very busy
session, both sides playing like wild
cats. Gladys Gober opened with
field goal On foul, Canton scored
enc. Allene Arthur and Marie Ar
cher, of Canton, threy field goals al
most within the same minute OF play.
Miss Williams threw her second field
goal and Canton got one point on
foul This quarter ended 10 to IN
favor of Canton.
The last quarter belongs to Miss
Rebecca Cole, who scored the first
point for the locals She not only
tied the score with field goal, but
tossed in the winning goal from the
center of the room at a difficult an
gle, showing her worth to the team
in pinch.
1t must be stated that the very
closely contested game was not re-
suit of poor playing on the part of
the local girls, but decidedly on &C
count of the splendid exhibition put
up by the Canton girls.
When the regular schedule starts
after Christmas in the high school
league, of which Marietta is a mem
Der, composed of Fulton High and
Washington Seminary, of Atlanta,
Cox College, of College Park, and
Decatur High, of Decatur, our girls
will be ready to go The whole team
made a splendid showing, although
lack of practice caused many fumbles
throughout the whole contest. We
believe that in Muriel Williams and
Rebecca Cole, we have two players
who will show the league some real
basketball playing when the big show
starts.
The teams Wednesday night lined
up as follows:
MARIETTA pos. CANTON
Gladys Gober C. Willie Tucker
Rebecca Cole rf. Marie Archer
Ruth Galley If. Allene Arthur
Katharine Galley re-. 10y Bond
Mural Williams lg. M. Betty Cocker
Lois Benson substituted at right
guard in the last quarter.
Immediately after the girls game
the boys basketball team of the high
school played an exhibition game
against picked team from those
present land showed some real class,
winning over the nondescripts by the
score of 20 to 9. The boys look good
and it is expected they will make a
good showing against the Atlanta high
school teams.
