THE GOVERNOR CALLS
FOR CONFERENCE
At MACON
Bankers, Business Men and
Farmers to Meet There
February 9th.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 21.-Special.) }
1t is imperative that Georgia shall
GROW food, and then still more food,
during 1918. The seriousness of the
situation which must be needed now
# the state is to avoid possibly dis
tressing food shortage, was so strong
" shown at conference just held
here. that Commissioner ]. j. Brown,
as chairman of the State council on
food production and conservation
and DR.. A. M. Soule, Federal fooo
administrator for Georgia, have call
ed meeting to be held in the city
auditorium in Macon, at o'clock,
A. NJ, Wednesday February 9th,
to deal with the subject.
Governor Dorsey, who is chairman
of the state council of defense, will
preside over this meeting and make
the opening address. The call is ad-
dressed to the Farmers, Bankers and
Business Men of Georgia., and ev-
eryone who can do SO is strongly
urged to attend, because it is anti
cipated that this will be one of the
most important meetings ever held
in the history of the state, Governor
Dorsey has issued a special call to
all county councils of defense to be
present.
This meeting proposes to deal with
the question of the worlds food sup
ply and the steps that should be tax
en-, so far as Georgia is concerned,
to avoid possible food shortage.
1t is not alone a question of Geor-
gia's doing her part in helping to feed
American and allied troops, but of
providing sufficient food and products
for her own people and her animals,
because it is more than likely that
it will be impossible to obtain them
from other sources.
In addition to the acreage hereto
fore devoted to food production,
Georgia has many idle acres which
might be turned to good account in
the solution of this all-important
problem, provided plans for securing
labor can be devised.
The food problem, the biggest one
now before Georgia as well as the
rest of the country, will be dealt with
in all of its important details; and it
is hoped that every man who can lend
even small assistance in the solution
of it, will make it a point to attend
this meeting.

A GOVERNMENT ROAD
TO CAMP GORDON

AS was predicted in the columns
of The Journal some time ago, it
now seems probable that the War
Department will soon be at work on
a permanent road between Camp
Gordon and the Range Camp in Cobb
County.
This road will come through Ma
rietta, and it has not yet been defin-
itely determined just where it will
cross the river This matter is en-
tirely in the hands Of the War De-
partment, and we are only guessing,
when we suggest that it may come
via Smyrna and Winnings.
We are satisfied to believe that it
will come, and that as quickly as 1t
can be constructed.
1t is also probable that a guess of
more than ten thousand dollars per
mile would not be over the price
which the department expects to put
into this road.
We can assure our readers that
Cobb county has not yet received all
the benefits she will derive from the
location of the camp here.

MARIETTA WINS
AND LOSES ONE

In fast and exciting game last
Friday at Wesley Memorial Court in
Atlanta the Marietta Girls defeated
the Seminary Girls IA to 4. This
game was one of the most exciting
games the girls have had this sea-
son, and the playing of every girl
was great. Miss Audrey Boatner es-
tablished record for foul shooting
as she shot every foul that the Semi
nary girls registered. Miss Lula
Kemp also two field goals and Miss
Cole also registered two field goals,
while Miss Alice Gober the champion
center registered one.
For the Seminary the playing of
Miss Kern was unusually good, and
during the game she was knocked out
with blow on the nose, but she came
back and played one-handed game
that did credit to the plucky little
player that she is. The Seminary
showed great headway in team work,
but they failed to register many
points against our Own Invincible
Wild Cats.
Next Friday finds our girls face
to face with the great team of the
League, Fulton High. But as we
have them on our own territory, we
expect to wallop them thereby gain
ing the tie for Champions. This
will be "the Great Game" And is
looked forward to by all basketball
fans as thriller.
On last Saturday the girls journ-
neyed over to Gainesville and met
the Gainesville Team on foreign ter
ritory, and were defeated Z to 2.
This was one of the prettiest games,
and the Team work of both teams
was like machinery. Our girls fail
ed to score as they usually do in the
latter part of the game. Miss Au-
drey Boatner shot very spectacular
goal and scored the 2 points for her
team. Miss Muriel Williams played
the game of her life and won compli-
ments from many of the basketball
fans present.
After the game the girls were in
vited out to reception and had 9
lovely time although defeated.
The Seminary game was refereed
by Mr.. Roy Doyal of Tech, and the
game in Gainesville was refereed by
one of the Riverside Boys.

FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
GIVES NEW ORDERS

All parties selling to hotels and
restaurants and public eating houses
are subject to wholesale dealers Ii
cense, regardless of the size of the
institutions furnished. These licenses
may be secured upon application to
the License Division, U. S. Food Ad-
ministration, Washington, D. c.
With reference to the sale of
chickens, the sale of hens and pull
lets is prohibited after this date, when
sold for slaughter. Such hens and
pullets as may be in the hands of
merchants may be sold up to Febru-
airy %. All sales prohibited of these
after that date.
This rule does not apply to the sale

MAYOR BRUMBY WILL
STOP THE LOAF|NG
ON STREETS
Says It's Time For Every
Body to Get a Job And
Do Something.

"Jedge Bryles" or "Jedge john
sing" of Atlanta or "Jedge Crutch-
field' of Richmond, had nothing at
all on the matinee His Honor Mayor
Jim Bruniby held at the city court
room on Monday evening so far as
numbers and color is concerned.
Invitations of most pressing ma
ture were extended during the day
by special ENJOYS in the person Of
Chief Bishop and his trusty crew,
and more than thirty of those citizens
zens whose color has not yet faded,
were on hand at 7 o'clock Monday
evening to respond to the roll call,
and to offer sundry and divers rea-
sons why they were found lettering
upon the about corners or in the
pool rooms about the city.
In other words the charge in most
cases was "idling and lettering" and
while just few were able to refute
the charge, nearly all were able to
satisfy Mayor Brumby that all they
needed was daylight, in order to get
job, and regular one at that. One
was even willing to work at night.
One or two were old offenders and
Jared accordingly. Two were youth
full delivery boys who tried to turn
delivery wagon into a prize ring.
Several were from the country and
but for the mercy of His Honor would
have shared the fate on old dog
Tray.
One had quit work because he was
sick, but upon serious reflection felt
sure he would be able to work Tues
day.
Another had gone to look for
dray for the store where he was em-
ployed, but his employer thought an
hour just bit too long to walk a.
round pool table in the search for
dray.
The most serious case was that OF
George Gardner, who on the two
sides (inside and outside) was car
rying two quarts of blockade liquor.
His case proved an Interesting one
but his memory was poor. Under
his dual load, George had tried to
escape the officers, but was finally
"treed'i and like Davy Crocketts
coon, came down without being shot.
But as I said before he was already
more than "half shot.
George" said His Honor, where
did you get the liquor?"
"Down the fur end of Lemon
street"
"Who did you get it frOm?"
'From fellow in wagon, never
ak his name"
"Two quarts is pretty heavy load,
are you running tiger?"
80, no sir: / was gwine to get help
to drink it,
Give Dollars. Ten Days and
bind you over to the Superior Court
under a hundred dollar bond.
The Mayor tempered justice with
mercy, and suspended number OF
sentences in cases of those most
worthy, but he assured them all that
he was liable to hold another matinee
in the near future, and those star
ring" a second time in his court would
be given long engagements on the
CITY rock pile.

So serious seemed his case that

his case is considered dangerous.

JerusaIem's Great Walls,

After 1914 Jerusalem was under the
rule of the sultans Of Egypt until the
year 1917, when Selim conquered
both Palestine and Egypt, taking the
title of caliph, and carrying off the
sacred banner of the Moslems to Con.
stantinople. Selim's son, Suleimdn the
Magnificent, once more built the great
walls about jerusalem. These walls
of Suleiman are the present fortified.

bf Suleiman the Magnificent are only
the last of long series Of walls
which, time. after time, have been
butt only to be destroyed. The most
tragical destruction not only of the
walls, but also of the whole city, was
that which was carried out by the Ro-
man armies Of Titus. in the year 20
Of our era, in the reign Of the Emperor
