ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
week STARTS OCT. 20
Politics Will Be Put Aside And Many
Public Men Will Join In
The Work Of Honor

Atlanta, Ca, October 2.-The fact
that Theodore Roosevelt, the son OF
Georgia woman, has been declared
by members of all parties to have
been one of the greatest opponents OF
Americanism, is source of pride to
all Georgians, and the memory of
Martha Bulloch, as well as that of her
son, will be honored in this state the
week of October 20.
During that week $50, 100000, Geor-
gia's quota of a national fund of
$4,000, 10000, is to be raised for the
Roosevelt memorial. Leaders in all
parties and walks of life have Of
fered their support and services to
the Georgia headquarters of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association.
Both of Georgia's United States Hoke
Smith and William ]. Harris, as well
as former Senator Thomas W. Hard
wick. have offered their services to
the movement.
c.. w. Mcclure is state executive
chairman for the campaign and +.
Y. Clarke is director The Roosevelt
Memorial Association, with head
quarters at New York, is headed by
Colonel William Boyce Thompson,
who was head of the Red Cross Mis-
sion to Russia, and personal friend
of Colonel Roosevelt.
That the movement is thoroughly
non-partisan, and started to honor
the memory of one of the greatest
presidents of the United States, is
evidenced by the fact that in all other
States, as we'll as Georgia, leaders of
all parties have offered their services.
1t has not ben decided as yet whe-
Their the memorial will be in the form
of a monument at Washington or
Roosevelt university for the teaching
of Americanism. In this state there
is a separate movement to buy the
Bulloch homestead at Roswell as
shrine for Southern admirers OF the
great American.

MEDICAL. INSPECTION
OF COUNTY SCHOOLS

Miss Brown our Public Health
Nurse, has made her medical inspec-
ton of five of the county schools so
far, these being Locust Grove, Lost
Mountain, Mount Zion, Midway and
Elizabeth. Of these Locust Grove
leads with the best record. And this
community is to have new school
house shortly.
Next week Miss Brown begins her
inspection of the Marietta schools.
Let US hope that we will measure up
we'll!
On Monday afternoon party of
Red Cross members drove over to
Roswell, where Miss Brown formed
an enthusiastic class of fifteen for
Elementary Hygiene and Home Care
of the Sick" 1t is hoped that suf-
ficient number of towns will become
interested in this very important
work to warrant the Red Cross Head
quarters in sending out an instructor.
Miss Mabel Cortelyou also went
over to Roswell in the interests of
the Red Gross Roll Call, which is to
be in November.

.RUMORS VERSUS FACTS
HARD CASE TO SETTLE
But as Puck Used to Say cit Runs
In the Blood Like a
Wooden Leg"

One of the things that everybody
knows and nobody knows" occurred in
Marietta one night last week. Cos
sip and rumors have been as thick as
smoke from haystack fire, but facts
we have not been able to find, as we
have no power to call or swear wit
nesses.
These rumors relate to the handling
of blockade whiskey through our
town, and started on Tuesday night
of last week, when the police force,
and quite a number of citizens of
Marietta, were on the watch for the
BLOCKADE runner"
Through some fluke the party with
the goods" managed to get away from
the officers after they thought they
had him fastened, leaving them in ig-
norance as to whether there was ac-
tually any whiskey at all in the case.
The disappearance, on the same
night, of two young men from their
place of business, and their continued
absence for several days thereafter,
only created more talk and more ru-
mors-but facts, or rather evidence"
so far as we can learn, is lacking.

GET READY FOR THIRD
RED CROSS ROLL CALL
Interesting Letter From Woodrow
Wilson to the School Children
OF the United States.

Although it is not necessary, or
even desirable, that Chapters should
lay aside their regular work for the
next few weeks, still it must be borne
in mind that the most important thing
before the Red Cross at present, both
at headquarters and in the field, is the
Third Red Cross Roll Call from No
vember End to 18th, and if it becomes
necessary to slight either the organl-
cation for the Roll Call or the regu-
lar work of the Chapter, the Roll Call
organization must take precedence
over everything else.
Chapter must remember that on
the success of the Roll Call depends
in large measure the future OF the
Red Cross in their territory, and that
the success fthe Roll Call depends
on a strong organization and constant
publicity. Only six weeks elapse be-
fore the opening of the campaign,
and quick action is necessary on the
part of every Chapter in the Division
which hopes to perfect well rounded
organization.
The Development Department has
outlined plans which, if followed
must surely result in success. The
Publicity Department is ready to
help with both editorial and news
matter: large quantities of supplies
will be furnished. But, in the final
ANALYSIS, the success of each indivl-
dual Chapter depends in a large
measure on individual Chapter effort.
Division Headquarters can make
suggestions, furnish supplies and Of
for help and guidance, but the Chap
ter enrolls the members. Is your
Chapter getting ready for the Roll
Call?

WEEKLY CROP AND
WEATHER REPORT

The past week was characterized
by abundant sunshine, cool nights and
moderately warm day temperatures,
and by continued drought. There was
very little rainfall, and the soil has
become too dry to pillow, so that seed
ing winter grains is being delayed, al
though there is still plenty of time for
this work. The chief harvesting OPP
erations continued under favorable
conditions, namely, housing corn, dig
ging sweet potatoes, harvesting pea
nuts, and making hay. Sugar cane IS
fair to good. The lack of precipita-
ton is beginning to be rather severe
ly felt, and fall gardens are generally
poor, except near the coast. Picking
cotton progressed very rapidly, and
the crop is all out in many central
and southern counties. There are still
reports of continued damage by weev-
lis.
The next issue will be the last re-
port for the season.

JUNIOR ORDER CONTINUES
TO GROW IN COBB COUNTY

The Junior Order of United Amer
lean Mechanics has large and in
creasing membership in Cobb county,
and has established councils in Ros-
well, Acworth, Smyrna, Middleton and
Marietta.
The Marietta Council meets every
Wednesday evening, and is receiving
large number of additions to it's
membership at this time. A new
council will soon be established in
Sandy Plains, thus covering every
section of the county with councils.
Mr.. H. E. Kerley, who is Past
Deputy State Councillor of the order,
and an active member, says of the
order:
"The Junior Order of United Amer
lean Mechanics is pledged to elevate
American citizenship, to defend our
country and its institutions, to COM
pulsory education of the rising gen.
GRAFTON; to maintain and improve the
American free school system! to pre-
vent any sectarian interference there
with and to encourage the reading of
the Holy Bible in our public schools;
and to resist to the uttermost the
exercise of political power by any and
all sects and organizations that are
opposed to the American form of
government.
"The future of this republic de-
ponds upon our public school system
and its education of the youth who
will constitute the American citizen
ship of the years to come. This or
der stands guard at the portals of the
school to bar out those who would un-
dertake to make it subservient to any
religious or foreign power. The prin-
ciples of thorough American educa-
ton will inspire future generations
with "Virtue, Liberty and Patriot
ISM" the attributes of which are re-
sponsible for our national life. The
truth of this assertion has been for
chilly illustrated in the present crisis.
The large number of illiterates in our
army have made necessary the estab-
lshment of schools in many Divisions
of our Army to teach men to read
and write.
eve, as an order, have been ac-
lively advocating compulsory educa-
ton laws, and now the Government
realizes the necessity for them"

next THURSDAY Will
Be BOYS CLUB DAY
The Coming Farmers And Stock Men
OF Cobb County Will Be Here
In Force On That Day

Next: The Wheat, Corn and Pig
Club Exhibit.
Time: October 9th, 1919. Place:
Public Square, Marietta.
All arrangements are complete for
the Boys and Girls Club Show in
Marietta next week, October 9.
Everybody is not only invited but ex-
pected to attend, for the encourage
ment of the girls and boys and for
their own improvement. Come out
and see what hogs can BE RAISED
from pure-bred stock, what wheat can
be made when proper attention is
given, and what even boy may do
when he has "book farmin" applied to
the field.
There will be some of the finest
hogs ever grown in the county-hogs
six months old weighing over 300
pounds, corn that makes almost a
crib full to the acre, and wheat that
illustrates" Cobb county as real
wheat county.
Club members should get their ex-
hibits in early, that proper attention
may be given them, as the manage
ment will be VERY busy and have
no spare time after the early morning.
Mr.. Carl Wallace, assistant Pig
Club Agent, will judge the show.
He Judged the Cobb county show last
wear and will be sent from Athens this
year for the purpose of judging the
exhibits.
Let every farmer in the county
come and bring his wife and children.
Corn club boys should bring the ten
best ears of corn, selected for uni
formity and illustration of variety OF
corn. Wheat club boys should bring
a peck of wheat. Pig Club boys
should bring their pigs. The general
public should come with a view to
having their eyes opened as to the
possibilities of Cobb County Farms
for grain and livestock development.
The boil weevil will force us to
grow something besides cotton. Get
an idea of what to grow and how to
grow it from the boys who are grow
ing other things.
Of course all club members should
bring in record books. Remember the
date October 9, the place Public
Square Marietta.
Show absolutely free no charge on
any exhibits. Every good club pig
gets at least $1.00.

HENRY S. COHEN GETS
DESERVED PROMOTION
He 10 Made Assistant Cashier of the
Atlanta Branch of Biggsst
Bank in South.

The consolidation of the Third Ma
tional Bank of Atlanta with the Citi-
zens and Southern of Savannah
makes that institution the greatest in
the south and the announcement OF
its officers brings a well-earned honor
to popular young Marietta man.
We quote from the Constitution of
Thursday:
"In recognition of his efficient and
able service. Henry S. Cohen has re-
Gently been promoted to the posi-
ton of assistant cashier of the Cit
liens and Southern bank, formerly
the Third National Bank.
Starting as a collector, or run
ner," with the Third National bank
IA years ago, when this bank had
its quarters in the Empire building,
and before the present bank build
ing was erected, Mr.. Cohen has
steadily progressed through various
positions with this banking institu-
ton. He has served successfully as
collector, receiving teller, paying
teller and chief clerk, and his pro-
motion, announced coincident with
the consolidation, is the reward of
his faithful and energetic service.
Having served through the va
rious departments of the bank, and
in consequence of his study of and
application to the banking business,
Mr.. Cohen is peculiarly qualified for
the position to which he has been
appointed, and his many friends
congratulate him on his promotion
for recognized ability"

WITH THE Y. ". C. A.

At the meeting of the Business Wo-
mems club last week sewing was
done for the Red Cross. Games, sing
ing and light refreshments made the
meeting most enjoyable. This week
millinery class begins under the
direction of Miss Elizabeth Ander-
son. who has had special training in
New York. Any outside of the Club
who would like to make fall hat,
are invited to join the class. Call the
Y. w. C. A. rooms to learn further
details and to enroll.
The Friday Night Knitting Glass

increasing attendance each week.
This class is under the capable super
vision of Mrs. R. E. Lawhon, who has
already started numerous sweaters
and scarfs. Bring your knitting and
see what we are doing next Friday
night at eight o'clock.
Smyrna Girl Reserves.
Has Smyrna Y. w. C. A? This
question would have been needless
had you peeped into the Civic League
room last Thursday afternoon, for
you would have seen nineteen Y. W..
C. A. Girl Reserves busily making
handkerchiefs. And these girls were
making nineteen handkerchiefs, too,
for each girl was busy-drawing
threads, measuring squares or pulling
colored threads through the white.
The Smyrna Girl Reserves had
their first meeting on August the
twenty-seventh. A week later the fol-
lowing officers were elected: Wilma
Martin, Scout or President; Emma
line Handy, Outings and Innings
Chin or Secretary; and Martha Quar-
rels, Service Chin or Treasurer. The
other charter members are: Victoria
Reed, Mary Sue Pollock, Colene
Reed, Judson Gullye Williamson, AL
lene Matthews, Hazel Williamson,
Nina Sue Ireland, Carolyn Magill,
Anie Edison, and Gladys McKelvey.
The Club has chosen green and white
for its color, and it's military name is
"Tatapochon" which means "cannot
be pulled apart" Although the club
is only five weeks old, it has already
added twelve new members, which
makes a membership of twenty-five
girls
But handkerchiefs do not consist
of all the club work as the members
are earnestly at work on honors-
honors for healthy bodies, for knowl-
edge attainments, for service in the
home, school, and to the community,
and hoonrs for spiritual development.
During the weeks since the first meet
ing many new games have been learn
ed, the club has been picnicing, ko-
daking and one initiation meeting has
been held when Judith Rice read a
theme on part of the code, "Seeing
the Beautiful"
At meeting Monday of the Civic
League of Smyrna a committee of
Girl Reserves appeared to present. a
formal request to be allowed to as
sist the League in "Clean Up" day
of the town. Plans have been laid to
further assist the Civic League in
it's work for the community.
what a splendid club and how
worth while" you remark. When
you say this you must stanr on your
tip-toes and see beyond this unusual
group of girls-for there stands Mrs.
A. L. Dick, their club adviser, who
is interested in every girl in Smyrna
and who always takes with her good
time, profitable time, and the music
which makes the club meetings sue
cessful.

THE SOUTHEASTERN FAIR
TO OPEN OCTOBER 18TH

The Southeastern Fair which opens

So great and varied will be the dis
play that it would be useless to try
to enumerate the attractions.
Any one in Cobb County who owns
a car can visit it and return the same
day, while the railroad schedules and
electric lines make it easy of access
to all who wish to go.

The curse of the dreaded influenza
is still implanted within our cities,
and while there is much fear ex-
pressed of it's return in epidemic form
again this winter, up to this time
there have been very few deaths,
and the doctors report it well under
control in the localities where cases
have occurred. The doctors of the
country are prepared to fight it as
never before.
