A MARIETTA BOY
IN THE FAR WEST

We publish in another part of this
issue extracts from a speech by John
H. Mcintosh, or Houston Mcintosh,
as he was known in Marietta, at an
important gathering in the west.
The city of Lewiston, Montana,
published and circulated this speech
in the west where the activities of
the |. w. w. were interfering with
the work of war preparations.
Mr.. McInosh is a brother of Mrs.
d. C. Cole and Mr.. B. l.. Mcintosh,
and has many friends of his boyhood
in Marietta, who remember his ora
torical powers, ard his athletic abili-
ty.
On one occasion he broke he rec
ord of the South in pole vaulting, and
during the school meet last week,
many of his friends recalled the oc-
casion of that event.
He occupies an important position
in his western home and we are glad
to give his friends here this patriotic
address.

LOCAL DRAFT BOARD
MR.. WALLACE GETS
A NEW HONOR
Names of Men In Last Call
Are Not Yet Ready To
Be Made Public.

The local board is going ahead ex-
amining all men in Glass one as rap
idly as possible, but up to the hour Of
our giong to press had not named the
men who are to fill the Cobb County
quota of the last call
In this call will be 28 white men
and 27 colored who will be sent
to the camps on April 28th.
Mr. Campbell Wallace, who is
secretary of the local board, has been
honored with appointment as Inspec-
tor of Local Boards for this section
and is away much of the time now,
but in accepting this place he was
given permission to act as the secre-
tary of the local board.
The appointment came to Mr..
Wallace unsolicited and was on ac-
count of the efficient manner in which
he has conducted the work here.

POWDER SPRINGS is
COMING Up WITH
HER SHARE
Town and Country Unite To
Buy Liberty Bonds and
Thrift Stamps.

No event finds a more welcome
place in these columns than the splen-
did showing made by Powder Springs
on Saturday,
Every part of Cobb County is 60
ing to do her part in the war, and her
part in the support of the boys who
go to the front, but for pure and
unselfish patriotism we must cheer
fully commend the good people of
Powder Springs, and by special re-
quest of Chairman j. B. Oglesby, we
wish to ascribe large part of the
success and honor, to the farmers in
that district, who so iiberally helped
and made possible the splendid re-
suit. By such unity of action, and
such organization, and such patriot
ism, the Kaiser can and will be de-
feated.
We feel that much praise is also
due to Chairman Oglesby and his able
assistants. The organization provid
ed for the division of the workers
into Blues and Reds. Captain Hugh
Moore being necessarily absent, Cap
tain J. L. Butner took his place in
command of the Blues, while Capt.
E. C. Wolf led the Red brigade.
We should like also to mention
those faithful ladies who worked on
both sides but as we have not all
the names we can not do so.
Surely without our women We
could not fight war, and with them,
we shall go on to final and over
whelming victory,
They say the Blues won, and per-
haps they did win, but they can not
say that the Reds lost, for every
stamp was shot int othe Kaiser's
camp and only the Kaiser lost.
By previous agreement the drive
was made jointly for War Savings
Stamps and for Liberty Bonds and
the effort was therefore divided be-
tween the two, $4,000 of Thrift
Stamps being sold, while $500 of
the Liberty Bonds found purchasers.
To buy Bonds and Thrift Stamps is
a good habit and is likely to grow.
All honor to Powder Springs and
the noble men and women who are
thus working, for our homes and for
liberty!

BUREAU Of MARKETS
HELPS GET GOOD
FARM PRICES
Georgia Farmers Are Get
ting Better Prices Than
In Other States.

Atlanta, Ga, April 49, (SpeciaD
The Bureau of Crop Estimates of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, has just published some
figures which will be of particular
interest not only to farmers in the
state, but to all Georgians, indicat-
ing as they do, Georgia's exceptional
farm values.
According to that bureau the aver
age price paid for Georgia's 1917
corn crop was 81 go bushel, and the
average price paid for the corn crop
of Alabama was SIP bushel With
production in this state of 72,00O,-
600 bushels in 1917, the Georgia corn
crop was worth $23,040,000 more
than the Alabama corn crop, on a
basis of the same number of bushels.
The difference in selling value of 80
cents a bushel is somewhat remark
able as between close neighboring
states, but the figures come direct
from the most reliable crop estimat-
ing bureau in existence, and Geor-
giaus must find in them particula
cause for congratulation.
The same bureau states that the
average price of Georgia's 1917
sweet potatoes was $1.05 bushel,
and Of those of Alabama, 81 cents, a
difference of ID cents in Georgia's
favor, or, on the total crop Of H.
625,000 bushels, an excess Of 1921
500 for Georgia over her neighbor.
The causes of these remarkable
differences may have been several,
but there can be no question that
the persistent activity and effort Of
the Georgia State Bureau of Mar
kets Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, had much to do with it.
Much of the Georgia crop Of sweet
potatoes was preserved for continued
use during the winter through the
building of curing houses, built at
the instance Of the Market Bureau.
In this connection the Bureau stress
es the fact that it is important that
every producer Of sweet potatoes in
large quantities in the State, should
provide himself with a potato cur
ing house to take care of his product
and in order that it may be fed to
the market as needed. Construction
of potato curing houses is the most
important thing producers of this
valueable crop can do.
The State Bureau of markets has
also had much success in the matter
of finding markets both for the sweet
potato and the velvet bean. 1t was
through the efforts of the Bureau
that the sweet potato was finally
made a part of the American army
ration, and, also, that wide interest

REPORTS ARE SHORT
FROM BOTH CITY
AND DISTRICTS
Few People and Few Sec
tions Have Yet Done
Their Full Duty.

County Chairman J. E. Massey of
the Liberty Loan Committee has fur
nished US with the list of subscribers
to the Third Liberty Loan as has been
reported to him to this date and we
publish it below. 1t only contains
the names from three or four dis
tricts and is not complete list from
those districts We publish the list
below, and Mr.. Massey asks US to
urge the various town and country
chairman to report as rapidly as pos
sible what has been sold not waiting
for final figures.
Further we are asked to impress
upon our people the necessity for
work of the most active character.
Our country is in very serious crl-
sis, and must have money. 1t could
take the last dollar we have, but it
only asks for the loan of a reasonable
amount and no patriot will withhold
a penny from his country in hour
like this.
Our boys are dying on the fields
Of France for our honor and liberty
and if we do not support and rein
force them eve are not worthy of any
liberty and the days of freedom on
the earth are numbered.
Our attention has been called to
he fact that many residents of Cobb
County on the car line, at Marietta
as well as at Smyrna and along the
line do business daily in Atlanta and
have not yet been solicited.
For local patriotic reasons these
men should subscribe through the
Cobb County Committee, and we
hope they will do so.
Subscribers in the county will fin
ally be tabulated and at least the
names published. Is your name
there? Put it there.

OFFICIAL RED CROSS
NOTES AND ACTIVITIES
TO OUR RED CROSS WOMEN!
A. TRIBUTE FROM A SOLDIER

This note of appreciation of the
great work that the American Red
Cross is performing was contained in
a letter from a soldier serving in
France, written to a friend in Ameri-
ca. 1t is a simple, forceful, and en-
tirely unsolicited tribute to the wom-
zen of America. The Editor Red
Cross Magazine.
eff there ever was a spur to hon
est American manhood, it is to be
found in the work, sacrifice, and
loyal, cheerful aid of the Red Cross
women here and at home. Those
here are undergoing hardship many
a man would cringe from. They
never complain, but greet US cheerly
with smiles md kind words
They are both an inspiration, a
source of help, and living shame
to u.s. That which would have been
a living hell for US, has now become
a Paradise through their ministra-
tions and tireless efforts. Those
cover here" and those at home will
some day be fittingly rewarded for
their sacrifice, but we who enjoy the
sunshine they spread are speeches.
and powerless to show our apprecia-
ton of them and their deeds. 1t
goes too deep for words and the lit
tie deeds which we are able to do
for them are so inadequate and in
significant that we feel hurt at our
inability better to show what we feel.
have censored some four hundred
letters of the men. Their attempts
to make friends and relatives at
home realize just what the Red Cross
is doing and what it means to them
are pitiful and pathetic, despite their
sincerity. Would they were inspired
to write for eternity what they feel
but cannot express. And wherever
the men go there will be found the
Red Cross. But the Women Of the
Red Cross" are the bond that helps
to keep US from becoming a horde Of
uncivilized barbarians that camp life
soon breeds, and war turns out in
seconds.
Just before midnight, New Years
Eve, q number Of doctors and nurses
gathered in the officers ward to help
US to greet the New Year. The first
toast was Victory" and the Major
was about to propose funny one
when a young lieutenant begged his
pardon and asked US all to drink to
the following one:
"To our Women, who sent US
forth with courage in their hearts
and tears in their eyes!
"To our women at home, who are
sacrificing their all that we may win
"To our women overe here who
give their own lives that we may
live! God bless them-and damn the
man who does not respect them and
the coward who does not fight for
them"

Prof W. T. Dumas, who was Presi-
