COTTON REDUCTION
AND COTTON HOLDING

Atlanta, Ca, February 20.-Spe-
ciaD That Georgia farmers are
thoroughly interested in and enthusi-
astic over the cotton holding and
acreage reduction movement, is well
evidenced by the many kilograms and
letters of approval and support, that
are coming to Commissioner j. j.
Brown from all parts of the Estate,
since the Macon meeting.
While all the returns have not yet
come from Saturdays county meet
ings, held in response to Governor
Dorsey's proclamation, reports indi-
cate that fifty or more of these meet
ings were held in Georgia's fore
most cotton counties, and further
determined support was enlisted for
Increased food production, less cotton,
and better price for the 1919 crop,
and unsold 1918 crop.
"The determined attitude Of the
Georgia farmer, merchant and bank
err" said Commissioner Brown, "is
great encouraging feature of this
movement, and that is the factor
that undoubtedly means its success.
"We are going to get a fair price
yet for the 1918 crop; ! haven't the
least doubt of it. We have enlisted
the interest of President Wilson in
opening up all the foreign markets
as soon as possible; and when this is
done, there win be an immediate and
substantial improvement.
Letters and kilograms which have
come to me from every section of
the State since the Macon meeting,
convince me beyond question that not
only are our farmers going to hold
the present crop, but that they will
reduce the 1919 acreage even so per
Gent, is necessary, to meet the cost of
production and give them a reason
able profit to which they are entitled.
eve know we can make and sell
food and feed products for fair
price, and / predict the largest and
most valuable food crops this year,
Georgia has ever known"
Already corn shortage is being
predicted this year on account of the
Federal Government guarantee back
Of the price of wheat. 1t means more
wheat than ever will be planted in
the West, and consequently, less corn.
This, it would appear, will mean
fine demand for corn next fall at
good prices, and the indications are
already that much corn will be grown
in the South in place of cotton.

DO WE NEED A
CITY PHYSICIAN?

1t has recently been suggested to
US by prominent citizen, that one
of the needs of Marietta is city
physician.
1t had not occurred to us before
that the city did not have such an
official, and the matter was brought
UP in a discussion of the merits and
dement's of the proposed memorial
hospital.
All cities the size of Marietta of
which we know anything, retain, on
a salary, a doctor who is called the
city physician, who looks after char
ity cases, and does such other work
as may be in the interest of the
health of the city.
We do not know how much need
there is here for such an officer, or
what the doctors of Marietta think
of it, but we would presume the doc
tors at least, would favor it, for it
would relieve them of much OF the
work they now do free.
If we should get the hospital we
would also have to have a city ply
stefan, and it may be that the city
physician would be a good official to
have anyway.
If there is any expression OF inter
est in the matter we shall be glad
to give it publicity either for or
against it.

MEXICAN NEWSPAPER
PRAISES LEAGUE PLAN

Mexico City, Feb. 19.-The Uni
versal prints an editorial this morn
ing under the heading president Will
son Evolves New World Politics, ="
which praises the ideals of the lea
que of nations and asserts that Mexi-
co will be protected by it. The news
paper declares that President Wilson
''more than any other man OF all
times, deserves the gratitude of man
kind"
"Territorial integrity, liberty and
prosperity" The editorial says, "are
guaranteed to peoples by the league
of nations, which upon the conclu-
sion of the war will eliminate the
useless formula of the balance of
power and resolve international dis
putes, not by war, the recourse OF
savages, but by arbitration, the re-
course of civilization"

OUR BOYS GETTING BACK

Lieutenants Tom Patton, Tommy
Tompkins and Jamie Corley, all pop
ular and we'll known Marietta boys,
came back home last week, but due
to the extreme modesty of the young
men we have been unable to get any
story of the front out of them, in
fact they have all evaded invitations
to talk for publicity in our columns.
With the true soldier instinct they
are trying to resume their places IN
civil life, without any Boosting or
glow of the limelight to announce
their return.
Their friends however would great
ly appreciate some of their war ex-
periences, and we are sure we would
be delighted to publish them.

JAMIE CORLEY THE
HERO OF THE SIND

Lieut.. Jamie Corley arrived home
on Saturday after seventeen months
as an Aerial Observer in France. He
has had more experience on the
Front, and been in more actual fight
ing probably than any man in the
82nd Division.
He has had at least forty fights in
the air; has brought down nine
planes, four of which he has already
been officially credited with; and has
been wounded three timess.
The remarkable police-dog that he
captured from the Germans did not
accompany him home, for he had to
leave him for the present in a hos
pital in New York.
But Jamie Corley and his dog"
were famous all over France, and
will be equally so here.

MR. N. M. MORRIS HAS AN
ACCIDENT TO RIGHT EYE

On last Friday, Superintendent Of
Roads N. M. Morris had painful ana
serious accident to one of his eyes.
He was on duty where some bridge
work was being done on the Roswell
road. and in passing through thick
underground beside the road, was
struck in the face by tall brier stalk,
one of the thorns striking the right
eyeball, and cutting into It,
He has since been spending each
day in Atlanta under the treatment
of a specialist, but is yet uncertain
whether he will lose the sight OF that
eye.
His many friends sympathize with
him in this misfortune, and earnestly
hope he will have an early and com
plete recovery of the injured member

THE WIND BLOWETH
WHERE 1T LISTETH

Publishers of $1-a-year weekly
newspapers will be interested in the
following from the Dresden
(Tenn.) Enterprise, published by
j. L. Holhrook & Son:
'The wind bloweth where it
listeth!
"And no answer cometh!
"Neither cometh the wood or
the corn or the Eaters or the eggs
or the bacon
"Some days ago, a good, liberal,
loyal, generous, broad-minded citi-
zen wrote the Enterprise stating
he wanted to take this paper dur
ing 1919 and get the county news,
and would send in his subscription
if the paper would be sent at the
old price.
eve Immediately wrote him we
would accept his proposition-pro-
vided he would bring us cord
of wood, barrel of corn, bu-
shell of sweet potatoes, basket
of eggs or a side of bacon at the
price he got for these commodities
five or six years ago, when there
was some profit in publishing
newspaper a 81 year.
"Seven long days have passed
and no wood, no corn, no 'taters,
no eggs, no bacon!
"He couldn't afford to do it, Yet,
he was generous enough to ask US
to send him the paper for 81 and
make him a present of SO cents!
Of all the 1925 people in Weak
ley county this kindly disposed in
dividul is the only one with gall
enough to ask us to send the En-
terprise at the old price-and we
do not believe there is another IN
the whole county"
We have had the same expert
ence in the good old county OF
Cobb.

PRIVATE AUSTIN BOATNER
BRINGS HOME MEDAL

Mr.. and Mrs. w. 0. Boatner were
made very happy Tuesday night by a
visit from their son, Austin, who has
lust come to Camp Gordon after sew
en- months in France.
Austin was decorated by the French
with the croix de guerre for marked
bravery on the battlefield.
He was with the 44th Artillery, on
the western front, and was under
fire for two months.
Private Boatner sailed from Brest
about month ago and he says that
all that the papers say about the
horrors of that port of debarkation
are true. Austin will shortly receive
his honorable discharge. Marietta is
very proud of her decorated son.

SAYS THE BOLSHEVIKI
ARE WORSE THAN THE CZAR

Washington, Feb. 19.-Russia is
more downtrodden under the Bolshe-
Wiki than she was ever under the
car, the senate propaganda investi-
eating committee was told today by
Herman Bernstein, an American
writer who spent some time in Russia.
He said this new slavery actually was
brought about by the Germans.
"Truth," the witness went on,
Completely disarms the Bolshevikl,
The exposure of their methods is
sufficient to end it everywhere for
ever. That is why freedom Of speech
has been entirely suppressed and why
no news is PERMITTED to be sent out
of Russia"
The witness said he knew certain
men sent to this country from Rus
STA had been in the employ OF the
Bolsheviki.
"The program of Russia has been
and is today" he said, to bring
about the overthrow of governments
throughout the world. They also
were trying in every way while the
war was on to bring about victory
for the central powers.
Mr.. Bernstein said it was not true,
as some witnessed had intimated, that
the Bolsheviki were led by Jews. Boil
shevism, he declared, had no connect
ions with any religion and confessed
no creed.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

We understand that another at
tempt to organize and place on bust
ness footing the Marietta Chamber
of Commerce will be attempted on
March 4th.
The Georgia Chamber of Commerce
is willing and anxious to assist local
organization in every way possible
and Marietta is losing ground every
day she delays to effect and operate
a live Chamber of Commerce.
We will make any announcement
and have more to say on the subject
next week.

SAVANNAH MAY SPEND
$500, 900 FOR PAVING

Savannah, Ca, Feb. 10 Paving
plans, which involve the expenditure
of 100000, are being proposed by
the streets and lanes committee of
city council. Alderman George I.
Pate, chairman of the committee, has
announced that he is going to make
such a fight. During the war, due to
the governments request, the city
along with other municipalities, has
done no street paving, and the re-
sumption of the work will mean work
for many. It is strictly in line with
reconstruction.

England Will Not Trust Germany.
German Food Is Reported Short.
Russ.a Still in the Dark and Wait

England is not going to take any
chances on the future good behavior

British Secretary Of War has this to
say of his plan, and a whole lot OF
people in this country fully agree
with him.

he added, "to make it physically I'M

time. We are going to take few
trustworthy persons well provided
with what President Wilson would
call 'instrumentalities' to keep watch
by the Rhine and to make Germany
pay reparation for the damage she
has DONE"
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-02-21

Germany's food supply is reported
as being almost exhausted, but SO
many reports emenate from that
country that it is very hard to tell
the truth from the ordinary every
dav'' German propaganda. So far as
the repentance of the Germans IS
concerned we do not believe word
of it and in this connection HERBERT
Hoover aptly says:
"If the seventy millions OF Ger
mans we're to shed the tears OF MODE
for the next thousand years they could
not wash away the human misery Tor
which they have been responsible IN
Belgium and northern France alone"
Clemenceau, the French Premier,
was fred upon by an assassin on We'd
nesday and three of the bullets TOOK
effect. although none are reported
&C serious wounds. His assailant was
arrested and proved to be the usuai
TYNE. a sort of cross between Boil
sheyiki and Anarchist, whose fevered
brain had made him believe his mis-
sim was to kill the premier. The
aged premier refused any assistance
after the attack, and walked to MS
home nearby before announcing MS
injuries.
The Russian outlook is still far
from encouraging, although it is pos
sibe that no more fighting Will take
Mace in the Archangel sector and
that the allied troops, including our
own will be withdrawn IN the spring
Aaconference of the powers with the
Russian dictators was scheduled Tor
last Saturday, but for some reason
# was not held and all is yet dark as
TO what the future of Russia may be.
Only one thing is certain and that
is that the Germans hope to control
it.
Some reports would indicate that
tho American boys are "wined and
dined" and are fraternizing with the
Germans entirely too much to suit us
German propaganda is the most lnsi-
duous on earth, and we fear it might
find an easy target in some OF our
war worn and homesick boys who are
guarding the gateways across tne
Rhine. Letters home from many OF
them recently indicate that German
wiles are being exerted to win the
confidence and support of our boys.
