CRIME REDUCTION
RECORD is BROKEN

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 10.-The great
est crime reduction in Atlanta's his
tory was recorded in 1917, greater
than all previous crime reduction rec
cords combined.
The city convict force has dwindled
down so small that the city no longer
counts it factor in street repairs.
The city stockade is practically q
dead institution, and the city is plan
ming to use it for some other pur-
pose.
Fulton County criminal courts are
up with their docket for the first
time since they were established.
Fees of solicitors and sheriffs are
down to salary basis. The county
convict gangs have been sonsolidat-
ed, but still the single gang is small
Ter than each separate gang in years
gone by. The county plans to pave
its highways by contract in the fu-
ture.
Atlanta's bank clearings in 1917
went to a figure unprecedented.
Building operations increased a mill
lion and quarter dollars Post of
flee receipts mounted 43 per cent.
The merchants had the greatest of
all seasons.
By one full year of thorough trial,
Atlanta has demonstrated the value
and benefits of prohibition from ev-
cry angle.
That the Georgia legislature will
ratify the prohibition amendment to
the federal constitution is regarded
as foregone conclusion, since At
lanta record of reduced crime and
increased prosperity is typical of the
record established Throughout the
state.

THE LAST Of THE
QUEST|ONA|RES
SENT OUT
Local Board Still in Session;
Are Now Classifying
the Returns.

The Local Exemption Board has
completed the work of sending out
the QUESTIONABLE blanks, the last one
being sent out on Wednesday, and
is now at work on the returns.
Many of these are of such nature
as to be unsatisfactory, despite the
warnings issued, it is evident that
some are filled out with a view of
evading the real truth which is what
the board desires. The power to re-
view and to summon all necessary
witnesses, arms the board with suf-
ficient power to go deeply enough
into each case to determine the true
status of each man, and this it what
the board intends to do.
Many of the men have not res
ponded in the required time to file
their papers, and these are now de
liquents and liable to arrest as soon
as they can be located. The police
authorities already have their names
and in due time all will be appre-
hended.
If you are a registered man you
should have received your question
aire blank by this time, and if you
have not received it, you had best re-
port at once to the board and make
the fact known. Your having failed
to receive it will not excuse you and
the proof of this to the board will
only be accepted by them as cir
cumstance in your favor and not an
excuse.
Uncle Sam says ignorance of the
law is no excuse, and while he is do
ing all he can to help make it plain
to you, and easy for you to obey, he
will also exact obedience.
The board is holding it's meetings
daily in the P. o. Building in Mari
eta, and if you have business with
them, it behooves you to look them
up,

SURGICAL DRESSING CLASS
TO BE FORMED BY MARIETTA
BRANCH OF RED CROSS

Surgical dressings are called in large
quantities by the Red Cross and mil
lions of them are being shipped to
France every month to be ready for
use in our base hospitals and field
dressing stations. The Cobb County
Chapter has not done any of this
work so far because it calls for train
ed workers. 1t has been decided hon.
or to give the Marietta women the
opportunity to volunteer for this
branch of work.
The class will be limited to twenty
there must be as many as fifteen.
An instructor will be sent from the
Atlanta headquarters, and every one
who enters the class will be expected
to attend regularly, and learn "the
art of making surgical dressings in
such thorough way that they will
be prepared to instruct others if
necessary. A registration fee of $1.00
will be asked to defray some imne-
diate expenses.
To register for the class and for
further particular call Miss Mabel
Cortelyou. Phone 273.

ST. JAMES CHURCH NEWS.
Election of vestry Monday.

Election of Vestry Monday.
By Canon Law, the date for the
election of a vestry has been changed,
from May to January. On Sunday
the present Vestry directed that the
regular election be held on Mon
day, January 14th, in the church
house from eleven o'clock to one o.
clock III to / p. m) The Tellers
appointed are Messrs. II. E. Hague
and A. A. Irwin.
The Friday prayer service will be
held as usual in the Chapel behind the
church. Rev. Mr.. Gass will conduct
the service.
The Sunday School begins at 8 80
a. m. and the morning service at IL
a. m. The proposed Union Services
in the evenings during January and
February seems to have fallen
through. We will unite with the
Methodist Sunday night.
In the school gold pin and a
wreath have been awarded to Marian
Brumby and to Marguerite White
for a years faithful attendance ev-
cry Sunday on time. These will
serve as reminders Of what will be
expected of them during this New
Year.
Church's War Commission.
Bishop Lawrence says he wants
everybody to know that "The Church
through this commission equips chap
lains; sends strong clergymen and
laymen into camps as spiritual lead
ers bringing the Church's services
and sacraments in the Y. M. C. A.
huts, to her own men and boys; then
the church will follow them over the
seas to the trenches. The country
is behind the Army and Navy; they
know and feel it. The Church must
be behind her boys and men; let
them know and feel it through your
large gifts eliminating on Sunday
January 9th"
1t will be of interest to many to
know that the Rev. John Gass has
been requested to go as chaplain of
a regiment. No one will doubt his
efficiency for such work.

JOIN THE RED CROSS AND
HELP TO WIN THE WAR

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 10.-You can
join the Red Cross any day, and al
ways the cost of membership is the
same, 81. Though the Christmas
drive for 100000 new members is
over and closed, having gone beyond
the goal expected, the Red Cross
chapters throughout the country are
still open to men and women and
children who wish to join.
The Red Cross in time of war per-
forms a service for the wounded SOL
dier that his mother or wife or sis
ter would perform if they could fol-
low him to France. 1t bathes his
wounds and soothes his keen bones
and nurses him back to life and
health. 1t soothes his feverish tas-
sing on the bed of pain and quiets
his slumber when he goes to sleep.
Every dollar contributed to the
Red Cross, through membership dues
or otherwise, will go to relieve the
suffering of soldiers who are making
manhood's ultimate sacrifice to put
an end to war and the makers Of
war
Are you member? If not, why
not?

SOLDIERS WORSHIP
IN TOWN NEXT
SUNDAY
Public Invited to Soldiers
Service at Presbyterian
Sunday Morning.

The soldiers at the Camp will wor-
shin at the Presbyterian church on
Sunday morning, at eleven o'clock.
Army Chaplain Gallman, of the 319th
Field Artillery, will preach on this
occasion.
AS the church is a large one, and
has spacious gallery, there will be
plenty of room for the public, and
YOU are invited to be present.
1t might be of interest to some of
the soldiers to know that this same
church building was used as hospi-
tai by the soldiers during the civil
war, when so many hard fought bat
ties were waged in the hills around
Marietta.
The writer presumes that the gal
lery was originally intended for the
use of the slaves, who, in antebellum
days, were received into the churches
as members with their masters. Few
of the younger generations of the
south, and fewer of other sections,
know anything of these things now.
On Sabbath evening will be SER
vices, as usual at seven o'clock, at
this church Sunday School in the
morning at nine thirty.
To all of these services you are
cordially invited and will be well
coined.

INSTITUTE POSTPONED.

The Missionary Institute of the
Marietta District, which was to be
held at Canton on January 9, 10, and
II, was postponed on account of the
unusual cold weather, and will be
held on January %, "a and 25, by
which time it is hoped the weather
will be better, and the coal supply
more adequate to the needs of the
places of public service.
Talk is rife, in more than one
community, of consolidation of pub
lie worship services on account of the
lack of coal, and many services have
been omitted on this account.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS FOR
BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION

A year ago the citizens, especially
the business men and manufacturers
of our city, gave generously to this
Association. The Treasurer has been
able to meet all appeals for imme-
diate help up to the present. But
now on account of the weather con-
ditions, price of coal and other neces-
sites, the fnuds have become ex-
hausted, only a small sum now on
hand. The people generally have
given literally to all war relief work
such as Red Cross, Liberty Loan
Bonds, Y. M. C. A, etc. and now
we must think of the need of help
right at our door. "The poor ye
have with you always" This problem
is ours whether we are at war or
enjoy peace. This Association has
proven a great value to our city, solv-
ing the problem of houses to house
begging and cooperating with the
charity of the churches and city and
county. A few faithful women have
endeavored to use this money in the
most economical way possible and the
demands for help have been many
and will be more for the next two
months. All who wish to renew their
subscriptions of last year or to con-
tribute to this important work will
please send their checks or contri-
buttons to Mrs. Geo. F. Gober, Treas.

UNION SERVICE LAST
SUNDAY, EVENING

Quite a good congregation gather
ed in the Methodist Church last Sun
day night for the annual joint wor-
ship of ali the churches held on the
first Sunday night of each year. A
number of the soldiers from the ar
tillery camp were present. The mu-
sic was lead by a chorus composed
of the choirs of all the churches with
Mrs. Hodges at the pipe organ, and
it was much enjoyed. A male quar-
tette from the Baptist church rem
dered very well indeed a beautiful
song. Drs. Patton and White led the
prayers and the sermon was preach
ed by Rev. R. R. Claiborne, Rector of
Saint James Episcopal church. His
text was ''He came himself, Luke
Is, II, from which he preached a
beautiful sermon stressing the un-
naturalness of sin and the persist
ence of Gods love for sinful man.
He suggested that the parable from
which the text was taken were really
better called the Parable of the For
giving Father than the Parable of
the Prodical Son. The discourse was
heard with much pleasure and profit,
and the service as whole was good
beginning of the years work for our
churches. The offering was given to
the Army Y. M. C.. a.

There is a lot nowadays about the
curious thing known as dual person
ality. Corn is a fine example. 1t
is both vegetable and cereal. One
of it's selves is the green corn, which
is, however, short lived Its other
self is the yellow meal, that, though
it is the palmer Of the two, plays
the most important part. For it stays
with US always and can be used in
unlimited quantities in the food-war
that must be won before the gun-war
can end.
