NAL COLIN R, PATTERSON
HERE MONDAY EVENING
Ex-Congressman and Ex-Governor,
Gentleman, Statesman, and
Orator of Note

On next Tuesday at 500 p. M, a
lecture will be delivered at the Meth
odist church in Marietta, by ex-Gov-
ernor Malcolmn R. Patterson, of Ten
nessee.
Governor Patterson is a character
of unusual force and intellect. He
was member of congress prior to be-
coming Tennessee's governor, and for
some years was connected with the
dramatic political scenes around
Nashville.
At the time he was not prohi-
bitionist, and in some of the bitterest
clashes he was allied with the liquor
interests of the state and was &C
counted one of their leaders.
However, his life was changed, and
for number of years he has devoted
his every energy to warfare upon
the demon rum, and he has been
crowned with marked success in his
new work. Some of his old associates
at first charged him with insincerity,
but these have long ceased their accu-
sations, and many of them have faced
about under his powerful teaching.
He knows every phase of the liquor
question. He knows the thought and
the character of the men whose life
it is running. He has been the way
and seen it's dangers and knows its
pitfalls. He is competent witness
and he asks that you hear his testi-
mony.
His subject in Marietta will be
EWhat is Victory?" He comes under
the auspices of state and national
Anti-Saloon League.
There will be no admission fee.
All you who have enjoyed Bob Tay-
lor's lectures, come and hear another
gifted son of Tennessee.

LIEUT.. MACE MORRIS
WRITES FROM FRANCE

Lieutenant Mace Morris, an old
Marietta boy, but more recently of
Washington, D. c., writes interest
ingly of the conditions around Metz,
France.
He has recently been appointed an
Inspector of the salvage division of
the Second Army, and his duties re-
quire that he ride over the battlefelds
and see that the salvage force re-
claims all property of any possible
value.
This duty permits his visiting many
historic fields, and withal is most in
teresting work.
He asks us to remember him to his
friends in Cobb and entertaila the
same hope so often expressed by the
boys over there, to get home soon.

SAWYERS MOVE TO ATLANTA

DR.. D. E. Sawyer and wife left on
Thursday for Atlanta, where they will
make their home. The doctor is al
ready in the employ of Fulton county
as Farm Demonstration agent, and
he has been in charge of the work
there since February LIST, when his
connection with Cobb county ceased.
Personally, we deeply regret to lose
these good people, and we feel sure
we voice the feeling of a host Of
friends in Marietta and Cobb county
when we give expression to this re-
gret.
Many of the young club boys and
girls throughout the county were at
tached to DR.. Sawyer and his wife,
and will always remember the aid and
advice rendered them by the Sawyers.

MAKE CLEAN SPOT FOR BOYS

Our boys overseas had just as soon
be kicking the sawdust out Of few
Bolsheviki as sitting around waiting
for transportation home. So if Hun
gary and her Austro- German-Russian
associates want to start anything, just
let 'em 60 to it. A lot of the boys
think the Germans were not drubbed
hard enough, anyway; so if they have
to put on their fighting clothes again,
they'll make a thorough job of it..
Then, maybe while their blood is up,
they'll come back over here and ride
few reactionary Senators on rail
unless their daddies decide to do
that for them, so they'll have clean
country to land in.-Tifton Gazette.

friends are delighted to know that he
will soon be home.

O'Leary was any less guilty than Ber-
ger, Debs, or Others who had been pre-
viously convicted on similar charges.
While O'Leary has, for the time be-
ing at least escaped punishment by
law, he has none the less earned the
contempt of all loyal American peo-
pie and done more than any other
man in this country to bring discredit
on the Irish and their cause Triton

BRINGS DISCREDIT
TO IRISH CAUSE

The acquittal of jeremiah O'Leary
on four counts of the indictment
charging violation of the espionage
law, and failure of the jury to agree
as to guilt on the fifth count, was
probably due more to relaxation of
the public mind incident to changed
conditions that to the fact that

FRO N WAR WORK TO
COMMUNITY SERVICE

Within the last month the nature
OF the peace-time service with which
volunteer women may follow up their
war work has indicated itself more
clearly than at any time since the
signing of the armistice at the general
service desk of the New York city
branch OF the National League for
Woman's Service.
AS in the various branches through
out the country, the general service
desk Is the beginning OF all work and
service for new members and volun-
teers. All calls for workers. with the
exception of those of the motor corps
and. in few instances. those of the
canteen division, are received at this
desk. and. accordingly. whatever the
outside world may be thinking or de-
handing. the general service desk is
bound to know before any other di-
vision of the league. It is a contact at
all times for the divisions within the
orga nization.
During the month OF May. more fire.
Quently than ever before. the ma
jority of the calls received by this
desk have been from organizations en-
gagged in specific community service,
such as child welfare, play schools,
hospital visiting. nursing. invalid oc-
equations, and social service. The Big
who help their less fortunate sisters
TO help themselves. have appealed TO
the league for an unlimited number
of volunteers to help carry on their
work
At present the demand for the So
ctal service volunteer greatly exceeds
the number OF workers. According to
Mrs. Myron T. Hin. who presldes over
the general service desk many women
are applying now for work in the fall,
which would indicate they want to
rest during the summer and let com
munity service, SO important at this
particular time. rest also.
I'VE hear reports of women in other
branches dispensing with their vaca-
tons in order TO continue the special
but the New York woman apparently
must rest and leave her com munity
work undone." said Mrs. Hill The
Federation for Child Study this sum
mer is conducting seven play schools
in the city. for which they need vol
unteer women. The hours are from
10 A. NJ, to s p. NJ, and the volunteer
may give as many hours of service
during the day as she desires. These
play schools are SO important to the
welfare of the hundreds of thousand
children who are compelled to remain
in hot New York all summer. For
such an important service II seems al
most unbelievable that we cannot get
enough workers. The play schools
cover such variety of service They
are very different from the play
grounds. and in the schools II a volun-
teer does not care for one kind of
work. there Is something else for her
to do"
