FROM GEORGIA TECH
A Word From the Boys Who Are
in the Georgia Trainig De-
tachment.

AS our Garrett county friends have
not heard from US we wish to let them
know that we are preparing to do our
bit in very proficient manner. First
of all we are very grateful that we were
sent to such delightful place for train
ing
After rough journey made easy by
the treatment along the route by the
Red Cross ladies. we arrived here tired,
but in good spirits. We are stationed
at the old Georgia Tech, recently taken
over by the Government. We were
given the opportunity of taking up one
of four different branches of training
namely: Radio, carpentering, auto
mechanics and truck driving, both
technical and practical, and glad to say
that we are getting along nicely. We
are also given an intensive drill in the
manuel of arms and calisthenic.
The sleeping quarters are good and
meals are better than in regular can
tonrnents.
Among the men who came here from
different parts of Maryland eight have
been sent to officers training camps and
others are to follow.
Atlanta is city of soldiers as in the
near vicinity many camps are situated,
among them being Camp Gordon, Camp
Jessup, Camp Hancock and FIT. Nc
Pherson, the latter being detention
camp for German prisoners.
Atlanta is a city of about 265 600
people, is situated inland from the At
lantic coast about $50 miles, is about
800 feet above sea level and has a very
moderate climate. The thermometer
has not reached 100 degrees this sum-
mer. 1t is a great railroad center.
Georgia also holds her own in agricul-
ture. producing wheat, oats, rye, bar
ley, corn, cotton, cattle and hog rails
ing increasing very rapidly in the last
two years. also raising lots of sweet po-
tatoes, this crop yielding as high as 200
bushel per acre. There are lots of
apples raised here but not to be com
pared with the apple orchards of West
ern Maryland.
The prices are also high here as some
of the patriots spell it with pay" in
it.
Georgia Tech itself will have an en-
rollment of over 1000 students who
formerly paid tuetion for their school
ing but will be under the supervise
ment of the Government and under
military rules and regulations.
Now we wish to thank the Red Cross
of Oakland for the comfort kits which
they provided US with. They showed so

HEROES DAY
PROCLAMATION
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,


For more than a year the United
States of America has been par.
Elephant, on the side Of liberty and
civilization, in the great world war
that within the space Of few years
has menaced and threatened to destroy
the best that mankind has struggled
for centuries to build up. While mil
lions Of men have made the supreme
sacrifice for the salvation Of the world,
since the awful struggle began, until
recently these martyrs for the cause Of
Justice have been drawnfrom the heroic
armies Of our Allies Of Europe. Now,
however, the situation has changed,
and our own splendid men in arms are
now standing firmly and fighting val
family beside their Allied brethren OF
foreign lands, and doing their noble
part to repel the cruel oppressors of
mankind. Already over ten thousand of
our brethren have made the supreme
sacrifice on foreign battle fields In de-
Tense of principles for which they were
proud to die, and while conscious that
no memorial that we can frame can add
glory to the record Of their holy serv-
ice, we deem 1t fit and appropriate that
we should formally take cognizance of
the sacrifices they have made, believing
that while we can add nothing to their
glorious fame we may by SO doing in
crease the patriotic flame within our
own hearts as we contemplate the
sacrifices they have made, and that in
thought of them we may make a new
dedication Of ourselves to the service
for which they died.
Now therefore in memory Of our
sacred dead of this great world war,
and of the loved ones they have left
behind, whose service and sacrifice is
second only to that Of those they have
loved and lost, l, Emerson c. Harring-
ton, Governor Of the State Of Maryland,
do set apart and proclaim
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10Th, 1918, AS
Heroes Day, and call upon all the peo-
pie of Maryland to observe 1t with ap-
prop-iate services and ceremonies as
tribute Of honor and appreciation Of
the heroic men of our own land who
have given their lives in this great
struggle for the freedom Of mankind.

DEAR BRETHREN:
Sunday, September goth, has been
set apart as day Of memorial to the
Soldiers of Maryland who have given

Liberty and Justice.

we could pay which would be IN any
sense adequate TO manifest our graft.

feel our losses, and how sincerely we
regard our sense Of obligation. Let us

that the memory Of their heroism Is
always with US, and above all let us
go upon record that we are standing
solidly behind those who are now fight.

more:
During the past year the great war,
now being prosecuted by the nations Of
the world. has been brought home to
all of us We have been called upon to
make many sacrifices, but all of these
pale into insignificance when we think
of those of our neighbors and friends
who have paid the greatest tribute of
all They have given their sons to the
cause for which We stand, and many of
these young men have answered roll
call for the last time.
The memory of their heroic sacrifices
will always be with US. There is moth
ing that we could say or do that would
enhance the value Of their gift to the
nation. We can only in an humble way
endeavor to express our sense OF obi
cation.
To that end it is proposed that Sun
day, September 29th shall be set apart
as Heroes Day, in order that we may
then better and in some tangible form,
give expression to the sentiments which
dominate us, and so keep sacred to
remembrance the names Of those who
have taken their places on the nations
honor roll.
And, therefore, l, as Mayor of the
City of Baltimore, do request all our
people TO observe the said day in fitting
manner and with services or exercises
worthy Of the occasion. and which
shall be hQll-marked and stand for a

SAVES MILLION POUNDS
OF FOOD EACH
SUMMER MONTH.

New York, June 29.-Mrs. Oliver
Harriman's scheme for saving by de-
hydration. all that is worth saving OF
the 1000, 900 pounds of fruits and veg
etables which would otherwise spoil
each summer month on the piers of
New York, places her first among the
women food conservers of the nation.
Mrs. Hartman has established a
big central kitchen at the corner of
Lexington avenue and Twenty third
street. Boy Scouts, organized under
the mayors committee. will salvage
the materials and Mrs. Harriman's
chemists and assistants will dry them.
The product will be sold at cost to the
persons most in need of IL.
This huge and patriotic system of
conserving perishable foods is the re-
suit Of experiments made in Mrs. Har-
riman's food research laboratory which
cooperates with the New York city
bureau of foods and drugs.
Mrs. Hartman has studied food
conservation ever since the war broke
out She has sent vast quantities of
dried vegetable soup to Europe's
prison camps through the Y. NJ. c. A.
With shipping space at a premium,
she believes that only by dehydratins
supply her armies properly and full
fill her obligations to her allies.
Mrs. Hartman advocates the COM
munity drying plant as the best pos
sible way to conserve every pound OF
American garden produce. According
TO an estimate made in her laboratory.
1t costs 81 to buy tin cans to hold IS
worth of tomatoes. Housewives who
face this particular item OF expense at
the beginning of the canning season
will naturally consider dehydration az
q substitute for canning.
JAIL men cannot be presidential
women cannot become the chief food
conserver OF the countrya-but any wo-
man can enlist in the army of food
savers and serve by drying a few
pounds Of fruits and Vegetables by any
one OF the simple home processes of
dehydration.
