POWDER SPRINGS LEADS.

Powder Springs leads the county
outside of Marietta, in the sale of
thrift stamps.
In our War Savings News last
week we only credited Powder
Springs with stamp sales of $250.0O
while it should have been $525.00
We will not try to say how this oc-
CURED and got by US, but will only
say that The Journal is anxious to
give proper credit to all for their
work and patriotism, and we have
noted in such matters Powder Springs
has always held very creditable
position, indicating the high intelli-
gence and the noble character and
spirit of her people.
To Mr.. J. B. Oglesby, the local
chairman at Powder Springs, no
doubt much of the credit belongs, but
as we have said above, Powder
Springs seems to have gotten the
right habit in such matters.
And when the relative size of the
two places is considered it by far
leads Marietta in the sale of stamps
at this writing.

FLOUR REGULATIONS
AGAIN AMENDED
BY HOOVER
Farmers to Get Flour With
out Exchanging Corn
Meal For 1t.

DIR. Soule has just issued new set
of regulations whereby farmers who
have their own corn may obtain flour
without buying meal or other ce-
reals.
Under this system those who want
flour can buy from one sack up to a
barrel of flour by obtaining a flour
card from the county food admins
traitor or his agent. The require
ments for getting the cards are that,
1st. The farmer must give his
name. post Office address, number of
his family, the amount of corn he
has on hand, and the amount of flour
wanted.
End. He must agree to abide by
the regulations adopted by tee food
administration.
3rd. He can buy only 70 per cent
of his normal supply of flour.
4th. He can not buy flour if he
already has flour for 80 days sup
ply. He must surrender the card to
the dealer furnishing him with flour
and can not use it second time but
must get new card when more flour
is needed.
5th. Agents who issue the cards
must keep records of the name, post
Office, number of family, date of is
sue, of each party getting cards.
Cards are good with any merchant in
the county.
9Th. Cards may be had from Messrs.
G. A. Griffin, J. A. Benson, w. F.
Kirby, or Bernard Awtrey, in Mari
eta, from R. L. Mcmillan, Acworth,
T. j. Carrie, Kennesaw, H. /. Wea-
yer, and c. C. Foster, Roswell; Tom
Lindley, Powder Springs; T. W.
Whitfield, Smyrna; Vinson Carn1i-
chael, Carmichaels; A. H. Irvine,
Austell; and T. Lowe, Jr., Middleton.
Parties wanting to exchange corn
for flour can still do so; those who
have not raised their own corn will
have still to buy meal or cereals,
pound for pound, in order to get
flour. Dealers who attempt to evade
these regulations lose their privi-
lege of selling flour, and purchasers
who attempt to evade them lose the
privilege of buying.
Truly, etc.,
BERNARD AWTREY,
Federal Food Administrator for
Cobb County.

DR.. PATTON DRAFTED.

No, he is not going to the firing

BASKET BALL TEAM
IS STILL WINNING
NEW LAURELS
Marietta Defeats Decatur In
One of Hardest Fought
Games of the Season

In tremendously exciting game,
which had to be extended five min
utes before the tie could be broken.
Marietta's "Wild Cats" defeated the
Decatur "Bear Cats, to 7, Friday
afternoon, before capacity house at
Wesley Memorial in Atlanta.
This was truly the big game, in
fact it was a corker The first half
Decatur amassed points to Mari
etta's O. Then the tide turned and
every Marietta Player was "do or
die" fighter and led by field goal
pitched by Audrey Boatner, followed
by another by Cole and later Gober
laid over one, with Miss Muriel Will
liams scoring l foul the Marietta
girls tied the score. 1t was then
time up, but after conference it
was agreed to play the tie off. Ma
rietta was invincible and the Deca-
tur bunch were not allowed to score
Finally foul was called on Deca-
tur and Miss Audrey Boatner with
an accurate eye on the basket and
a sure aim landed a point from the
foul line. To Marietta this was a
most glorious victory, while it meant
Decatur's funeral.
The playing of the Marietta girls
was unique in the latter part of the
game, which in the beginning looked
like defeat. Some plays never be-
fore pulled off on Basketball court
were worked to perfection by the
plucky Marietta girls, and the playing
of every girl was almost team with
in itself. That of Cole at guard and
Williams in the same position was
most vigorous and effective. Both
played a remarkable game and as
for the others, the same is true. Will
liams and Boatner are right at the
top among the star players in the
league, and are in almost every play.
Gober is a wonderful center and when
Rebecca Cole was pushed into the
SS6HllHBiy IOoIiS game 0HS HNNSN %
star to her crown when she shot a
field goal in the most thrilling game
of the season.
The team locks horns with Semi
nary at Wesley Memorial next Friday
and a chair raising" game is ex-
pected.
The lineup last Friday was as
follows:
Forwards; A. Boatner, 3; Cole, r.
2; Kemp, L.
Guards, Galley, X, Williams, M. 2.
Center, Gober, A., 2.
Daniel" Boone from Fulton
High refereed the game, the final
score being 8 to 7.
Misses Audrey Boatner and Kath-
crime Galley both have black eye
as the result of the above combat.
These two girls will plunge head
long into a wall, and head on COLI
sions are nothing unusual. 1t takes
pluck and pep like this to win a game
like they fought with the Bear Cats

been transferred to Elkhorn and I made
one visit to- Elkhorn, where I was re-
ceived very cordially and was shown
through the Institution and saw all of
Kenosha County's patients within this
Institution but found that five female
patients had been transferred to Wau-
kesha from Elkhorn, so that there was
but eleven patients there on August
18th, but all were we'll and apparently
happy and as I arrived at the Institu-
tion at ii o'clock I had ample oppor-
tunity to observe the quantity and
quality of food given the patients and
