$4,000 in Combatant Forces.

Enrolment of $4,000 Elks into the
combatant forces of the country rep
resented about 10 per cent of the or
der. and much pride is taken in the
fact that Gen. Pershing. commander
in-chief of the American expedition
AIRY forces, is one of the Elks in the
service.
Recently the Elks' war commission
has placed a quarter of a million dol
lars at the disposal of DR.. c. A. Pros
ser. a director of the Federal Board
for Vocational Education. OF this
amount $4,000 is to be used in the
re-education and vocational training
of ex-service mer. who have been
disa bled. but whose cases do not come
within the purview of the war risk
insurance act.
The sum of $4,000 is to be loaned
TO disabled service men so that they
may be placed in training promptly,
while their compensation award is be-
ing determined by the government,
thus saving them privation and hu-
initiation. These loans are to be re-
turned as soon as the man receives
his money from the government.

REAL PROSPERITY

Real prosperity consists in produc-
ing an abundance for everybody and
making good use of it. To consume
it all would be extravaganza. To
consume a reasonable amount and
save the rest so as to accumulate
capital to employ people and so in
crease their comfort would be the
best possible use of the resources at
our command.
This is the meaning of the Thrift
program which the government put
on and of the organization of Saw
ings Societies throughout the coun-
try.
1t is said to be a fact that after
all great wars there is period of ex-
travagance at the very time when
there is the greatest need for indus
try and economy to repair the fright
full losses caused by war. The gov
eminent is trying to overcome this
tendency by the organization of Saw
ings Societies.
At the same time it has started,
through the Department of Labor, a
campaign to encourage home owning
and home building. This is a very
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-08-15

important form of Thrift. 1t has
been greatly aided by the organiza-
ton of building and loan associations,
of which there has been a great de-
velopment in the Eastern and Middle
States during the past thirty years.
Very few of the Southern States
have any considerable number of
these associations. Only Kentucky,
North Carolina and Louisiana cut any
figure in their development. This is
unfortunate, because the Southeas-
tern States have majority of rented
homes, where Eastern and Middle
States have majority of homes oc-
cupied by owners. This section is
also behind the Eastern and Middle
States in the matter of Savings banks,
although there has been consldera-
BILE growth in the last few years.
There is no section of the country
that needs Thrift as much as the
South and that is why tremendous
effort is being made by the organiza-
ton of Savings Societies to establish
the savings habit among the people.
To accumulate the "nest egg for
a home building fund or for any
other good purpose there is no medl-
UNI of accumulation so convenient as
the War Savings Stamp, which IN
creases in value each month.

If there should come a time when all
science will pronounce it poison, the
end of its use can be foreseen. But
while some may be already convinced
that it is a poison, and while thou
sands believe the cigarette is danger
Gus, it is not the organized prohibit
tionists who will be the menace If the
use of nicotine is ever menaced. The
danger will be in the aroused and
educated voter, whether he is smo-
ker or not.
The interests who fear the even
tual prohibition of tobacco have only
one thing to fear; that science will
collect a body of facts which will
move the people as the facts concern
ing alcohol and the saloon moved
them. And if the people vote out
anything they will feel as they did
when they voted out the saloon, that
this will not destroy any pleasure in
life, but will rather increase and null
tiply life's real and permanent joys.

230 Transportation building, Attain
ia, Ga, will issue Victory Button
to all discharged officers and men OF
the World War who present their
discharge order or certificates. A
silver button will be given to those
whose discharge papers indicate that
they were wounded in action, a.
bronze button will be given to all
other honorably discharged men. Con-
scientious DIRECTORS, men VINO SIM
ply reported and were discharged by
the draft board or men who merely
served in the Student Army Training
Corps camps, ETC., are not entitled
to this button. 1t will be granted
only to honorably discharged veter-
ans.
Discharges will be left at the Re-
cruiting Office until an officer visits
the station to certify the fact of is
sue. This obviates the necessity of
mailing your papers to Atlanta and
the possibility of there loss in the
mail.

ex-officers and soldiers in getting their
civilian badges promptly.

The Future of
pleasure in Life"

Many men who do not drink are
not smokers. Many drinkers are
smokers. Many smokers like to drink
after they have smoked themselves
into dry state.
These things nevertheless do not
foreshadow an immediate national
campaign against smoking. The IL
ouor forces have predicted this, and
every few days they predict it anew.
They warned us in the old days that
the extinction of saloons and GROWERS
meant the eventual destruction OF
"all pleasure in life"
1t is true that the same forces
which brought about prohibition could
bring about the limitation or sup
preston of cigarettes and possibly OF
all use of tobacco as deleterious. But
what were the forces which brought
about prohibition? They were the
voters of the United States. One
would think from some lingering Ii
quor arguments that prohibition was
the work of a few, when the votes
of all the dry states show that it
was the signal triumph of the many.
Prohibition, as an issue at the polls,
was not even carried by the votes Of
the "drys" alone. We had among
us drys and moists and vets. We had
total abstainers, men who use it for
medicine, men who drink every
Fourth of July, men who drink every
week, men who drink every day, men
who drink every meal, men who
drink between meals. And it is not
too much to say that majority of
every one of these classes voted for
! prohibition in most of our states.
Prohibition is no outsiders law, 1t
is no dictators' law. 1t is our law.
1t is supported by reason and science
and sentiment and sense. And the
danger to tobacco is not in any move
ment or in any organization. II
there is any danger to tobacco it is
in the thing itself.
Scientists are finding out more and
more about tobacco and its effects.

NAVY FILLING THE
AVIATION VACANCIES

Contrary to popular opinion, the
hige size of present day flying boats
and dirigibles has necessitated en-
listed flying crews in addition to of
ficer pilots. The number of enlist
ed men carried by the flying boats is
small, but will undoubtedly increase
with further developments in avia-
ton. About fifty per cent of the
crews of dirigibles are enlisted men
the remainder being commissioned Of
ficers. These crews are carefully
picked from the ground force, which
is composed of trained machinists,
carpenters, ringers, etc.
Owing to the number OF vacancies
caused by the release of reservists,
the navy's aviation training schools
are working at top speed turning out
gas-engine mechanics, gunners, pho
tographers, carpenters, ringers, etc.,
who are finding quick promotion open
to them. This year the Navy De-
partment has decided to pick num-
Der of pilots from the enlisted force,
and thi spolicy will undoubtedly hold
good for future years.
Specially trained men can enlist
in the rating in which they are best
qualified, but the unframed or par
TALLY trained man will spend the first
q of his three years in the best equipped
aviation training school in the world.
Commercial aviation is in it's in
fancy, and hundreds of alert young
sters are taking the navy training
with view of getting in on the
ground floor of most modern pro-
fession.
The Navy Recruiting Station will
accept healthy and qualified appli-
cants for this service in any of the
following ratings:
Quartermaster Aviation.
Carpenters Mate Aviation.
Machinist's Mate Aviation.
Join now, get your training free.
Flying is the coming game and a
knowledge of this work will enable
you to command a good salary or in

SOME COTTON PRICES

The country is getting used to 35
cents cotton. AS a matter of fact
cotton at 35 cents per pound is one
of the cheapest commodities on the
market, in view of other costs. But
35 cents lacks lot of being the high
water mark for cotton in this coun-
try.

 A brief ana helpful address was giv- en by C. Edward Smith, who said in part: Men, realize that am speak ing to some of you for the last time, as very soon you will ieave the ser vice and go to your homes. What are the great lessons we should learn from the war? Ono lesson is that while our boys did fine service in co,pmon with our allies, yet back of if ali was God Almighty: when the AuStriaps were pressing the Italians nard and if looked as though defeat was to be their lot the river Piave rose to an unusual height and prevented the Aus trians from advancifg. and the day was saved to the Italians: God was in this just as much as he was i'll the Red Sea experience Of the tsrealites under the leadership of Moses.
 The great leaders in the war were God fearing men. and they recognized that only with His help could they win As you face the future I hone you vii recognize that only as you line up witt Jesus Christ can you succeed"
