Instead Peoples Council
Leader Uses Mails to
Demand a Retraction

Scott Nearing, head of the Peoples
Council, pursued an eminently peace
ful policy yesterday in dealing with
that little affair of his with United
States Marshal Mccarthy.
At Peoples Council meeting Tues
day night Marshal Mccarthy said some
ruthless things about Mr.. Nearing and
other peace doves" of his flock.
"You call yourself an American" !"
said Marshal Mccarthy, speaking di-
rectly to Mr.s Nearing. "All that YOU
came here for is to preach discomfort
and dissatisfaction. Why don't you
spend your time teaching these people
the truth about America, instead of
cunningly trying to stir up sedition.

may be hemp picnics in Central Park

FRIDAY
Food Administrators Harrison
Will Be Here to De-
liver Address.

On Friday afternoon, February 8,
at 2:30 Mr.. Robert Bryan Harrison,
Director of the Food Administra-
tion's Pledge Card Campaign, will
deliver a lecture at the Court House
on Conservation of Food and Health.
All Women's Clubs, Parent
Teachers Associations, Canning Clubs
and other such organizations are
especially invited and urged to at
tend.
This is one of the most important
OF all the campaigns being conducted
by our government to carry on war
work to a successful conclusion. Ev-
cry one is willing and ready to aid
the Government in every way possi-
bic but many do not know just what
they can do. Conserving food and
health not only helps the Govern
ment but helps the individual or
family who saves.
This is an opportunity to learn
from an expert upon the subject, one
who has made special study of the
question, as to how best to save.
Every organization above men
toned and every homeseeker in Ma
rietta and Cobb County should at
tend this lecture.
On the same day at one-thirty Mr..
Harrison will speak to the school
children at the Haynes street school.
He viii deliver similar lecture
in Smyrna Thursday afternoon, Feb
ruary 7th, at one-thirty to the school
children and at two-thirty to the
public in general. These meetings
in Smyrna will be held at the Metho-
dist Church.
Please everybody who possibly
can attend one of these four lectures.

one that it is most convenient for you
to attend, just be sure to go and hear
