down from Montana and not Mime

gladly make this correction. He is
a successful farmer in the northern
part of the state near the Canadian
line.
The friends here will be glad to
learn of the success of our former
citizen H. H. Green. He was elected
Alderman of the city of Cartersville
He was petitioned by the citizens of
Gainesville to enter the race and did
so with the above result. The Bar
tow Tribune has this to say about
him: "Mr. Green is a member of the
firm r. Mayes Grocery Company, a
successful mercantile establishment
which has successfully operated in
Gainesville for the past twelve years.
He is personally very popular and
has taken large interest in the civic
and material development of his town
and county. He is widely known and
enjoys reputation for being active,
progressive, intelligent and efficient
and his selection gave added strength
to an already strong ticket"
You can count on our boys coming
to the front, they always make good.
Charlie Wright and family will

Miss Melissa Scott has been quite
sick for several days. She is still
unable to walk. Her knee is stiff
from the effect of having her hip
broken last July.
Our county commissioners are GER
tainly to be commended for running
the county's business with saving
of more than $4,000 when all ex-
pense is necessarily SO high. If this
is saved in the running expense it
will mean much more money to be
put on our roads. This is good bust
ness judgment and we feel sure they
will have the support and endorse
ment of our citizens.

The remains of Mr.. Wade Crowder
who died in Marietta Saturday was
brought here Monday morning.
The funeral was conducted at the
Baptist church by Rev. G. S. Bond, af-
ter which the interment was at the
family burying grounds. Mr.. Crow
der was reared here and was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jasper Crowder.
After he entered manhood he has
been away in Alabama and Califor-
MIA, where he held a position. And
after his health failed, in company
with his brother, Mr.. Will Crowder,
they went to California thinking per-
haps Wade, as he was familiarly
known here among his childhood
friends, would be restored to health.
But the time had come and he was
ready and willing to go to meet Mo-
ther and brothers, who have only
preceded a few years. He is sur
vived by his father and three brothers
Mr.. Wayne Crowder, of Marietta, Mr.,
A. Y .Crowder, of Cartersville, and
Mr.. Will Crowder and one sister-in-
law, Mrs. Exa Crowder, of Alabama,
who have the sympathy of their many
friends.
We are glad to know that Mr.. Will

was Amor a good correspondent but
he put life into the annual Journal
picnic for he would have boiled a
whole ham and carried out to be
placed on the table. i hope the edi-
tors mouth is craving some of that
ham for with the war and high prices
of meat that time past.
Mr.. Henry Brock and Mr.. Guy Bor-
ing, who went to Colorado last fall
with Mrs. Jane Brock, have both en-
listed in the army out west.
Mr.. Claud Bond, son of Rev. G.. S.
Bond, is now in France. He has been
over about ten weeks. Claud at the
time of his enlistment was working
in Atlanta in bakery and the gov
ernment sent him out west where he
graduated in the bakery business be-
fore sailing for France.
Herman Thomas, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dallas Thomas, is now in France
Herman had position in Atlanta at
the time of his enlistment in the Ma
Wy. His brother Joe who lived with
his mother, was at San Domingo, Joe
enlisted in the Navy last spring and
each of these young men was sent a
box of cake by their aunt, Miss Nan
ME. Roberts, before Xmas.
Mr.. Bud Howell has returned home
after visit to his son at Rome.
Mr.. Pola Arlington, of Powder
FSprings, was up last week and while
here was the guest of Joe Siward and
w. F. Tripp.
For some cause there should be a
excuse for not opening up the church
and having it heated as the case was
monday morning at the Baptist
church. If the church keeper was
aware there was to be a funeral there
Monday he should be ousted. If he
didn't know there was to be any,
why the friends of the family are to
blame. Please don't let this happen
any more. Gypsy.

Theatres for Use
by Men in Camps
Are Now Completed

The Government Liberty" thea
tres at the IS National Army Canton
ments are all completed, and in a few
performances have been given. The
buildings, which are supervised by
the War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities, are 120
feet wide and 179 feet long, made
of pine boards, unpainted, but faced
with heavy building paper, which
makes the sides air-tight. Complete
ventilating systems have been install
ed and heat is supplied by steam and
small stoves.
There are 5 large entrances and
Is exits, and the theatre, seating 8,
900 men, may be emptied in about
one minute.
The stage is 65 feet wide. The
floor of the auditorium is saucer
shaped and sloping, so every every
seat provides a clear view of the
stage. The seats are benches fitted
with comfortable backs, and sections
will be reserved so tickets may be
purchased in advance The "smilage"
books, soon to be placed on sale, will
good for all these theatres, as well
as chautauqua tents.
The motion picture booth, housing
two machines, is asbestos lined. The
stage has an asbestos curtain. Light
ing effects are similar to those of
of standard city theatres.
The theatre is placed on the highest
point of ground in each camp, and
in many camps the post Office, main
library building, and hostess houses
are nearby, making sort of town
center where large numbers of men
gather each night.
The tower on top of the stage loft,
about Is feet from the ground, serves
as signal tower for wig-wagging.

In our mothers days white sugar
was luxury. 1t came in huge
white loaf shaped either like cone
or an inverted punch bowl. When
company came they cut pieces off it.
The rest of the time, however, they
ate either maple or brown sugar, and
the huge loaf was untouched except
when the small boy of the family
found an opportunity to hack off a
piece.
Just now our co-fghters in Europe
are the company, that we want to
feed with the white sugar, because it
can be shipped SO easily. So we are
going TO eat more honey, more mo-
lasses and more 5yrJ p, and we intend
to frown severely On such surrepti-
tious nibblers of the white sugar loaf
as hoarders, wasters, and those who
eat as much as they want instead of
as little as they need.
