DR.. ASHBY N. JONES
COMING To SPEAK
On THE WAR
Hear About the Fighting at
the Front Where Boys
Are Going Soon.

At 1890 Monday morning, March
18th, DR.. Ashby M. Jones, one of the
most celebrated speakers in the coun-
try will speak in the court house at
Marietta. His subject will be why
we are at war with Germany" And
it is one he is fully qualified to
handle.
He has made a close study of all
the questions leading up to the war,
and has been in close touch with
those who have come from the front.
His recital of what is now going
on at this front, where our boys are
going, will be of thrilling interest to
you.
DR.. Jones is not candidate for
Office, and his lectures are purely pa
triotic, to let you hear the truth a.
bout all these things. There will be
no admission charge and no collec-
ton taken, and we pledge the repu-
tation Of The Journal in assuring you
that you will never regret having
heard DR.. Jones. On any subject he
is most interesting and forceful
speaker, but on this topic, which not
only affects US personally so greatly,
but means life or death to so many
of those dear to our hearts, you can
not afford to stay away.
Now don't forget the date March
18th, and make your arrangements
to be on hand. You will never forget
or regret it.

Marietta, Ia, Fen. II, 1918.
Editor, Marietta Journal,
Marietta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
Will you kindly publish the follow
ing article in your issue of this week.
The long TRADE of abuse and mis-
representation appearing in the Cobb
County Times of last week is well
named in its three column headlines
Unsuccessful Attempt to Camou-
flage the Public.
To camouflage in English means
'to deceive" and that is just what
the Times is trying to do. Cringing
under the application of the short
and ugly word, they writhe through
ksome columns of abuse of the Com
missioners who called a halt on their
reckless statements, and they also try
to divert some of their spleen upon
me-
| am charged with crime of being
DTOJUSI-lIl-ldW VI commissioner
Thomas. To this particular charge
l plead guilty, but yet | don't see
where the guilt is. But since the
Times has singled out Brother Jack"
as a target for so much of their
"horse play" l would like to say a
few words in reply to that part of
it.
The meetings of the Commissioners
are open to the public, and it is not
my duty to report them for the pa
pers. On account of the manifest
unfairness of the Times in its atti-
tude toward the Commissioners,
have tried to have as little as posi-
BILE to do with any of it's representa-
tives.
When they say that I gave them
the slightest foundation for their
story of numerous persons appearing
before the Board to complain of the
roads they convict themselves of
lying. The wish on the part of the
Times man, was father to the thought
and he made it out of the whole
cloth. 1t was in his own mind only,
or rather l should say in his in
famed imagination, for / do not Gre
dit him with a mind that he saw
those things he printed. He just put
it down as he wished it to be, he was
not looking for news.
So far as the warrant for my sala-
ry is concerned, he well knew that
the warrant also included the cur
rent monthly expense Of the office,
such as postage, express or freights,
that had to be paid in cash at the
moment.
This same manner of drawing these
warrants has prevailed from time of
organization of the Board of Com
missioners, and / have never drawn
one without attaching the receipted
voucher to it for the expense, more.
over, l shall continue to do so unit!
the commissioners order a change, or
l see some reason to change it other
than as the Times suggests.

OFFICIAL RED CROSS
NOTES AND ACTIVITIES
New Instructions for Sweaters.

The scarcity of raw material makes
it necessary that the knitted gar
ments made by the Red Cross Chap
tiers shall come up to standard, in
dimensions and workmanship.
The following instructions have
been received by the County Secre-
tary Miss Cortelyou, and sent by her
to the Supervisor of the wool, Mrs.
Graham.
Sweaters and socks are the most
need articles.
Sweaters may be % inches long
now. THAT is they may be knitted
% inches from the bottom to the
neck. This includes the A inches of
purling.
The Sweater must measure 3S
inches in the bust.
The neck of the sweater should be
large enough to fit a man wearing
No. s hat
Socks must have feet between IL
and IL inches long, legs IA inches
long and feet not over inches wide.
Knit to dimensions, rather than
numbe rof stitches.
The following communication APP
pearing the Constitution, of Sunday,
will explain the effort that has been
made by the Cobb County Chapter to
have the work sent out from all of
our Branches come up every require
ment.
"The fact that the word has been
passed on that many of the knitted
garments which go into the Red Cross
supply house, 80 James Street, Sou
them Division of the Red Cross, have
to be ripped and reknitted, and that
this word has been used Indifferent
and lazy women as an excuse for
not knitting at all, or again, it has
been suggested that an explanation
be given about the misrepresented re-
ports.
''It is fact that many knitted gar
ments, sweaters, mufflers, helmets,
and wristlets have been ripped and
reknitted by patient women in the
supply house, because the wool was
too precious to be wasted, and the
soldiers in the national environments
and those in the trenches needed the
knitted garments.
"The Red Cross does require that
all sweaters going through the Red
Cross should be made according to
specifications.
When they are not according to
specifications they are ripped and
knitted again"
We have sent large number of
knitted garments to headquarters,
and so far none of them have had to
be re-made at headquarters, but some
of them had to be reknit, and some
of the necks have had to be ripped
Some made smaller and some enlarg-
ed.
We are anxious that every one of
our Branches will reach perfection
in their work, and we much prefer to
continue to repeat the instructions
and to repair our own mistakes.
The Marietta branch still has some
of the February wool on hand, and
any members desiring to knit sweat
ers can get the wool from Mrs. Ora
ham, and those who wish to knit
socks from Mrs. Lyon.

THE CHA|RMEN FOR
COMMITTEES ARE
APPOINTED
Let Everybody Get Ready
For Next Liberty Loan
Coming Soon.

The government is soon going to
call upon the country for the third
Liberty Loan, and in anticipation of
this fact, it has asked the officials
in each Federal Reserve District to
take steps for a thorough organiza-
ton to reach all the people.
This procedure must be made
through the various County Chair
men who are asked to secure the ac-
tive cooperation of local town and
district chairmen throughout the
country.
Chairman j E. Massey, of Mariet-
ia, has submitted the following names
of citizens of Cobb County to act as
local chairmen, and they have been
approved for the service. To avoid
unnecessary time and expense, it was
agreed that this preliminary notice
of appointment through the papers
should suffice, and without waiting
for further official notice these gen.
tlemen are urged to begin at once
canvas of their towns and districts,
in the interest of the next Liberty
Loan.
We can hardly overestimate the
seriousness of the situation so far as
the government is concerned, and ev-
erything that touches the government
will eventually touch you. 1t is your
own personal affair, you can not
avoid it.
The following gentlemen will here
by note this responsibility, and act
accordingly as local chairmen.
