FUEL ADMINISTRATION
is AGAIN IN COMMAND
Stores Can Not Open Until Nine And
Must Close At Four Except
On Saturdays

Business again is in the grasp of
the law, this time brought about by
the action of the miners who are on
a strike for thirty-hour week and
a sixty per cent raise of pay.
The fuel administration is again re-
vived in charge of DR.. Garfield, and
the first coal saving orders have been
put into force throughout the coun-
try. They are as valid and far-reach-
ing as any of those promulgated dur
ing the war and if the situation
should become any more serious it is
possible that the orders be even more
drastic.
So far the only outward effect that
is noticed in our town is that stores
and such places of business can not
open until nine in the morning and
must close at four in the Afternoon,
vile factories also must close at
Iour.
A few of the places, the operation
of which are vitality necessary, are
excepted from the closing orders. The
exceptions and rules ~are clearly de-
tailed in an advertisement of the
Georgia Railway & Power Company
printed elsewhere in this issue. It
would be well to read this.
It is of course no concern Of the
coal miners that their attitude should
be the cause of curtailing the output
of the factories of the land, that
wage earners in other industries have
their pay envelopes lighter, and that
thousands of the poor are actually
suffering from the cold all over the
nation, they thought they saw more
money and even shorter hours for
themselves, and nothing else matter
sed.

THE BOYS CORN CLUB
MAKES A GOOD RECORD
Singer White Raises Eighty-One
Bushels Corn on One Acre and
Wins the First Prize

The following is a list of the win
ners in the boys corn club, and the
yields are:
First: Singer White, 81 bushels
second, Laverne White, II ga BUSH
els third, Jesse Davis, IA 1-2 BUSH
els; fourth, Howard Mayes, "A 1-2
bushels; fifth, Grady Mccoy, "A IA
bushels; sixth, Sammie Turner, 43
bushels; seventh, George Hardage,
43 bushels; eighth, Owen Huckabee,
Al "a bushels; ninth, Buell. Cunning
ham, 40 bushels; tenth, Silas Orr, 80
bushels.
Senger White won the prize Of
fered for the most profitable acre of
corn, having raised 81 bushels of corn
on one acre of land at total cost of
$33.75 or 41.6 cents per bushel, new
wage scale; according to the old wage
scale it would have cost him only
:$22.15, or 27.2 cents per bushel. At
the present price of co~r it leaves
him a net profit of $118.25, new
wage scale,
The boys winning prizes for the
best kept records are: first, Grady
Mccoy; second, Moses Brown; third,
Buell. Cunningham.
Not all of the boys in the club won
prizes, but they all deserve a great
deal of credit for the good records
made. There were no 100 bushel
records made this year, but the yields
as whole were good. The average
yield per acre was 50.8 bushels, and
the average cost per bushel was 81.4
cents, new wage scale, or 46.9 cents
old wage scale.
Since the boil weevil has invaded
the county we often hear the question
asked What can we grow to take
the place of some of our cotton?"
Think over the records of our corn
club boys this year and be your own
judge as to whether it will pay you
to grow few extra acres of corn or
not.
E. o. McMahan, County Agent.

MOUNTAINEERING IN A TANK
LATEST EUROPEAN SPORT

No thought of contributing TO the
gayety of peaceful pastimes cheered
the designed of the military tank,
says the December Popular Mechan-
les Magazine in an illustrated ar
ticle. But pleasure is resourceful and
daring, and now, in the French AL
pine country, whole bus loads of ex-
cited passengers are to be seen seal
ing mountain trails hitherto inacces-
sible to any vehicle, mounted on the
extemporized seats of regular army
tank.

A CHRISTMAS SERVICE
BY THE DRAMA COUNCIL
Churches VIII Unite In A Service ca
Sunday Evening Proceeding
Christmas

A stately and beautiful Nativity
Christmas Service will be given at
the First Methodist Church Sunday
night before Christmas, under the
auspices of the Drama Council.
This will delineate the story of the
Annunciation and the Birth Of the
Savior and will be play in panto-
mine.
Majestic anthems and beautiful
choruses will float out from an in
visible choir and add heightened
spirit of solemnity to the sacred oc-
casion.
The costumes will be typical of the
period represented and will carry one
back to the days when a new born
babe lay in stone trough and halo
burned about His head, while far up
in the illumined Heavens an angel
chorus chanted; "Glory to God iii the
Highest, on earth peace, good WIN to-
ward men,"
1t seems eminently fitting that the
four protestant denominations repre-
sented in Marietta should join forces
and blend their talents in the pre-
sensations of this beautiful Pageant,
thus typifying the generalness Of
Christ's mission.
Mrs. Regina Rambo Benson, Chair
man of the Drama Council will d.
rect the production and has called
to her assistance the following COM
mittee: Mrs. George Sessions and Miss
Ava WEIGH from the Methodist
Church, Mrs. E. A. Groves and Miss
Mary Howell from the Episcopal
Church, Mrs. Walter Sans and Miss
Mary Towers from the Baptist church
and Mrs. Campbell Wallace, Jr., and
Mrs. Ralph Northcutt from the Pres
byterian Church.
A meeting was held Tuesday in the
Y. w. C. A. rooms and the cast Of
characters drawn. About seventy
five people will be required to COM
piete the cast and when one considers
the beautiful import of the playa
living over the time Of the Savior's
birth and the opportunity offered one
to help in the creation of a more sa-
cred atmosphere at the Christmas
tide it will be considered an honor of
no mean proportions to be asked to
participate.
This will be the most ambitious
work yet attempted by the Drama
Council and under the capable direc-
ton of Mrs. Benson results are ex-
pected, for coupled with her great
dramatic ability she has keen appre-
citation Of the beautiful and a vision
OF nobler things which she will i'm
part to those associated with her and
bring to all spirit of reverentiaI
alteration.
This same production has been
given in number of large cities and
like the Passion Play at Oberammer-
gau has become an Annual Religious
Festival.
1t is through series Of such PLAYS.
that the Drama Council hopes to eIe-
vate the dramatic standards and IN
culcate a love for the artistic and
beautiful.
Thelcostumes have been completed
for the minstrel show to be given at
an early date and the stage fittings
and properties are in course of con-
struction.
The bright little play, .Sunbon-
nets, will be staged by the Smyrna
branch of the Drama Council on the
night Of December 10th, and gives
promise Of being creditable produc-
ton.

EDITORS MEET IN MACON
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

The editors of the state are meet
ing in Macon the end of this week to
take up the matter of securing a sup
ply OF newsprint paper or to cut down
the size of the papers now issued.
AS the newsprint paper stock is
nowhere in sight it is probable that
retrenchments must be made in the
quantity used. This in turn will bring
about higher advertising rates.
At this time the prices being paid
for paper are three and four times
the normal market before the war,
and some action to meet this cost is
absolutely necessary
