A MAGAZINE PRINTED
WITHOUT gYPESETTING
The Literary Digest Get Out Issue
With Photographic Plates of
Typewriter Copy.

New York, October 13.-Elimina-
ton of typesetting, one of the cost
lest operations of magazine produc-
ton, by the use of plates made by
photogrsphing the original typewrit-
ten copy, has been accomplished i'll
the October 18 issue of the Literary
Digest, consisting of 80 pages. This
radical innovation, which was brought
about by the printers strike in this
city, leads the publishers to suggest
that sit is possible in this age of
marvels that the whole future of
magazine production may be revo-
lutionized by the elimination of type
setting"
The makeup of the magazine is in
no way changed, the only difference
being that the style of the type is
that used on typewriters and is uni
form in all the reading matter
throughout the number. The right
hand page is in effect a Photographic
copy of the original article as writ
ten on the typewriter.

DRY GOODS co.
DOUBLES CAPACITY OF
BIG DEPARTMENT STORE

The w. A. Florence Dry Goods
Company, already operating one of
the largest department stores in
North Georgia, on Tuesday of this
week opened the large new room on
the second floor over the Richard
son warehouse, and opening out
from the present store of the Flor
ence company.
The new room contains 450O
square feet of floor, and thus nearly
doubles the capacity of the store.
1t has already been made the
scene of much activity, being the
ready-to-dear section of the business,
although the big clothing show cases
with which it will be furnished have
not arrived. Underwear will also
be carried in the new room.
The room was especially built for
this purpose, and has both sufficient
window lighting and bountiful ar
ray of electric lamps to make every
corner bright.
Mr.. Florence says that the store
will be filled to its capacity with new
goods, and that somebody must take
them out, but with cotton at present
prices, it is not probable that the
people will be long in finding the
way.

After Serving Only Ten
Days of Sentence

Joe Webb, Rome youth, whose
death sentence was recently commut-
ed to life Imprisonment by Governor

the Chattooga county changing,
where he had ben sent to serve his
sentence.
Webb, in company with seven 9th
er convicts, overpowered the guard,
disarmed him, marched him 3 miles
into the mountains and then turned
him loose. He made his way back to
the camp, which is located on the
government highway near Menlo, and
gave the alarm.
The sheriff and deputies are scour-
ing the hills, but as yet Webb has not
been recaptured. The posse over
took two of the convicts returning to
camp. and they gave themselves up.
Webb was sentenced to the gallows

James Welch. He escaped from the
Floyd county Jail, but was recap
tured.

fined in the Atlanta Tower for safe
keeping. Finally, about two weeks
ago. Governor Dorsey committed his

ne served about ten days of his term.

COUNTERFEITERS MAKE
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Easy to Tell From the Genuine if
A Careful Examination is
Made of Them.

Counterfeiters have found new
field of activity. According to re-
ports from the Treasury Department
counterfeits have been discovered in
this years issue of War Savings
Stamps. Departments of the Govern
ment are at work trying to appre-
bend the persons responsible for the
distribution of the fake reproductions
of the little securities.
M. B. Wellborn, Governor Of the
Federal Reserve. Bank of Atlanta, has
notified all banks in this district of
the discovery. Silas w. Davis,
Government Director of the War
Loan Organization, the agency hav-
ing charge of the sales of Thrift and
War Savings Stamps in this district
has warned his agents to be on the
lookout for the counterfeit stamps.
The Georgia Bankers Association al
so has taken the matter, up, request
ing members t., guard against TAX
ing stamps that are not genuine.
Banks and stamp agents and post
masters are requested to hold any
parties presenting the counterfeit
stamp and to communicate at once
with the Chief of the United States
Secret Service at Washington. The
counterfeits are being attached to
genuine certificates. They were a
Photographic reproduction in good
color blue ink, but the fine lines be-
hind the portrait in the genuine APP
pear in solid color in the counterfeit.
The perforations of the genuine
stamps appear photographed on those
which are not genuine.
"Counterfeiters seem to know a
good thing when they see it" said
Director Davis or they would not
take the chance of term in the Fed
eral penitentiary by putting out re-
productions of War Savings Stamps.
People who are willing to bup War
Savings Stamps at less than their
actual value may get 'stung' when
they enter into a deal of this kind,
because genuine War Savings
Stamps, bought through banks, post
offices and authorized agents of the
Treasury Department are always
worth their full face value, pulls ac-
crued interest.

COVENANT OF THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS AS 1T is WRITTEN

So much has been said for and
against the league of nations that we
have this week printed the entire
covenant Of the proposed league.
When read it will convince you
that you may easily put upon it your
own construction and find some Sec
ton of a paragraph to defend your
position, just as people find cause for
argument in the Bible, but taken as
constructive whole, it would seem
a long step in the right way.
Men, in whose honesty and intelli-
gence we have respect, like Mr.. Will
son and Mr.. Taft, and with no poll
teal axes to grind, tell us we are
absolutely safe in accepting it while
men whose self interest and political
ambitious appear to us stronger than
any other motive are opposing it.
Yet we know that there are both bad
men and good men on each side OF
the question.

mate the number of questions, wise
and otherwise, which the information
service has been called upon to ans
wer, and states that it would be al
most equally impossible to reckon
the amount of cheer and comfort
which this same service has been able
to bring to the families of missing
men.
Since the opening Of the office in
June 1917, the committee has spent
$3.50 for the services of a trained
secretary, and approximately 1862
has passed through the revolving
fund for other expenses, an average
of $50 per month for the seventeen
months. We feel that these figures
are unusually low in view of the
amount of work accomplished, and
wish to thank the people of Cobb
county who have been so generous
n giving of their time and money
% the better ment Of social Goa
i.sioAs in our county.

CONFEDERATE REUNION
COMES TO A CLOSE

Practically 10000 Confederate
veterans, 1854 to be exact, register
ed during the twenty-ninth annual
reunion of the past week and which
came TO an end on Friday. Two
grand balls were the social features
of the reunion, while many minor
events occurred to make the social
program brilliant. The big parade
of Friday proved to be one Of the
most spectacular ever staged at any
reunion of the veterans. General
X. NJ. Van Zandt, of Texas, was
reelected ommander-in-chief of the
veterans, while N. B. Forrest, Jr., son
Of the famous Confederate cavalry
leader, was chosen communicating
chief of the Sons of Veterans, sue
ceeding Carl Hinton, of Denver, Col.
Despite the fact that a heavy rain
storms made conditions rather diff
cult for one night at Piedmont Park
where the old veterans were en-
camped, no deaths occurred among
the veterans.

LOCAL DRAMA COUNCIL
TO STAGE SHOWS SOON

The Drama Council of the Y. w.
G. A. has begun active work looking
toward the fulilment of their plans
for the winter.
At an early date bright and
breezy comedy will be produced by
the young women at the Kennesaw
Mill.
The play will be presented at the
Mill and much care will be given to
its proper staging, the scenery and
costumes being now in course of
construction. The young women
who form the cast give evidence of
marked talent and under the splendid
guidance of Mrs. Warren Benson
will present creditable production.
A high class minstrel show replete
with local hits and made doubly att
trctive by entertaining specialties
will be given at an early date by the
Business Woman's Club.
The Drama Council have some
very ambitious plans for the near
future, one Of which is the presen-
tation of a very dignifed play in
verse which will call for the best
local talent. No effort or expense
will be spared to secure the proper
setting and it is not an idle prophecy
to predict that this will be a per-
Torrance which would be credit
to a larger place than Marietta.
The greatest obstacle confront
ing the Council is the lack of a suit
able place for the production of
these plays, Marietta being sadly de-
ficient in the matter of Public En-
tertainment Building.
Mrs. Lawson Fields, the Director
of Scenery and Properties is work
ing out some fine effects in scenery
and costumes which will be not only
pleasing to the eye, but will be true
TO period and type.
While the plans of the Drama
Council seem to be very ambitious,
still there is every reason to believe
that they will eliminate in brilliant
performances.

Cobb County's Share At The Big
Southeastern Fair This
Week in Atlanta

Eleven ribbons and prizes for the
pig club boys and girls come to Cobb
county from the Southeastern Fair at
Lakewood this year.
The boys and girls of Cobb coun-
ty got a rather Indifferent start on
pig club work this year, in fact for
a short time after it was known that
DIR. Sawyer would be no longer with
them, there was apathy in their
ranks until County Agent McMahan
was engaged and could get around
to see the young folks.
Interest however was revived and
most creditable showing was made
both at the one day fair in Marietta
and at the Southeastern Fair. How
ever the Fulton club members were
so much more numerous and better
able to get fine stock, that after DR..
Sawyer went to that county, Cobb
counld hardly hope to take the lions
share of the prizes as /, 1t did last
year when there was not nearly so
much competition. Fulton county had
about 200 entries this year and other
counties even to the extreme south,
had more than last year.
However Cobb got two firsts and
several seconds and came next to Full

JUNIOR ORDER MECHANICS
ESTABLISH NEW COUNCIL

The Junior Order United Ameri-
can Mechanics are still getting new
members in Cobb county and on Thurs
day of last week organized a new
Council at Sandy Plains.
Thirty-nine new members were re.
ceived into the order and fifteen more
have signed for future admission.
Mr.. H. E. Kerley, who stands high
in the councils says of the order:
"This Order is -eminently
American. 1t stands for all the flag
stands for. 1t believes that the first
inspiration of true American should
be patriotism, and patriotism means
the American people and American
institutions. While welcoming to
this country genuine home-builders
OF, other lands, it enters it's solemn
protest against the food-tide of i'm
migration made up of the criminal
and pauper classes of the old world.
Hence this Order favors restricted
immigration, thus aiming to protect
our homes and the wage Garner from
the home destroyer and the cheap
labor of those who come here only
to exist and not to live, and whose
presence tends to debase the morals
of the community in which they set
tie.
"Over 5000 flags have been raised
on our school houses by this organi-
cation, and as many Bibles placed in
the schools"
