ILLINOIS CAPITALIST
TO FARM IN GEORGIA

Marengo Floyd IAN Illinois CAPT
talist, has just purchased through
Marvin B. McClatchey, of Atlanta,
four Georgia farms, which he will
convert into chain of stock-raislng
plants in the state, the price paid for
the four farms totaling $4,000.
The farms are located in Floyd,
Cobb, Forsyth and Colquitt counties,
and the new owner will spend consid-
cradle money in improving the prop
erty and adjusting it to the exclusive
use of raising cattle. Mr.. Floyd says
he is convinced that more money IS
to be made in raising pure-bred cat
tie on Georgia farms than is now
cleared in raising cotton.
Aside from being one of the most
prominent cattle raisers in Illinois,
Mr. Floyd is an ardent stock-raislng
enthusiast and his coming to Georgia
VIII he a valuable asset to the state.

Can the Women Modify
"7he ReUe[ of LUXURY

tain novice Wage-earning women are
buying furs, regardless of whether
they will have funds to buy coal and
bread in emergencies, while a new
chapter presents itself in the records
of the police quarters and detective
bureaus, showing the enormous in
crease in theft among an element of
people heretofore not appearing in
the history of crime in this country.
Evil conditions
Such conditions are extending
themselves, rather than being cur
tiled, and sober minded patriots and
citizens forsee a crisis in National
prosperity, unless the hand of eau
ton is raised, and the "Voice of
Thrift and Savings" reaches the very
head and heart of the people of this
Republic.
Mr.. Crawford asks, "Where is this
money coming from?"
"That is a question that bears on
somebody's else's business he ans
wers.
But there will be millions of
Americans, young and old, male and
female, who will be saying goodbye
to their Liberty Bonds. Indeed the
activities of these papers in the bond
market during the last few months
have already been taken by astute
and circumspect financiers as furni-
shing the explanation of the source
of the rivers of gold which have
flowed about the pedestal of pleas
ure."
What women can do
Women constitute a large element
of the buyers of the nation. They not
only do the buying for the home and
the family, but women are full part
ners in the program of the "Revel of
Luxury"
They are co-partners in the pat
ronage of hotels; they go to the races
and bet; they wear the 100000
worth of jewelry swelling the trade
market every month, and they are
ornaments in this phrase of life, just
as surely as they are the ornaments
of their home in the family life.
And just as they are useful in the
fulfillment of their duties, as they
are essentially ornamental to civili-
zation-they are not called upon to
extend this usefulness, as they have
never done before While they still
hold on to this great nation Of which
they are a part, by modifying the
"Revel of Luxury"
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-10-10
By ISMA DOOLY


Can or will the women of the Ma
ton rise to their obligation as mo-
theirs and caretakers, and modify
what Remsen Crawford, a feature
writer of the New York Times, de-
scribes as "The Revel of luxury?
From the Woman's Division of the
new war loan organization of the
United States Treasury Department,
making for Thrift and Savings,
comes the answer; ''They can, and
they will, but they must have the
time to set the example and carry the
message on through every state and
every locality, rural and urban"
The Woman's Division has its re-
gional directors for the work, and I'M
der the regional directors, are wo-
men directors in every state. These
directors have been selected for their
qualities :, leadership, and their pro-
minence in public and social life.
They have ben selected from all
elements of women those so-called
leisure woman who own their own
time; those in professional and bust
ness life; those in commercial and
industrial life.
Through the direct and tangible
form in which the thrift and W. S. 5.
movement is at present expressing it
self is through the organization OF
thrift and savings clubs, where there
can be an actual show down of the
amount being saved, there is being
carried on at the same time a cam
paign of education in thrift and eco
Monies. which is directed to the in
dividual woman, and to every wo-
man, in her every relation and in
| terest.
The cost of living
"The High Cost of Living" is one
of the basic principles upon which the
thrift movement, is basing its activ-
tiles, the necessity for thrift so clear
ly set forth in Remsen Crawford's
article, when he writes:
with the national debt climbing
toward the thirty billion mark and
the cost of the necessaries of life
80 per cent higher than before the
great world war, seven million dol
lars worth of diamonds are pouring
into the country each month and are
being rapidly purchased by gaping
trade; millions of dollars are wagered
daily at the race tracks; automobiles
are sold far in advance of the fac
tory output; summer hotels, at rates
ranging from $500 to $500 a day
have reaped the richest harvest OF
their existence; amusement resorts
are making plutocrats of their pro-
motors; theatres are booking in ad-
vance. and "the pursuit of happiness
so innocently fostered in the Consti-
tuition of our Forefathers, has be-
come hysteria with the luxury-loving
part of our population"
/ His claim
Mr.. Crawford claims that his ex-
posures are simply record Of the
high cost of luxury in connection
with the high cost of living-a plain
straight forward ANIMAL of the "dy,
ing summer, the most extravagant
season ever experienced on Ameri'
can soil"
"But Americans are rich-why
should they not let loose of then
money? 1t helps trade and industry,
argue the blind thinkers.
Yes, many Americans are rich, but
many, many multi-many are not rich
and they, too, are spending and not
. saving.
Certain types Of well-to-do farm
crs are mortgaging farms 20 buy an
tomobiles; clerks are spending then
salaries before they are earned. Ger

The Marietta Journal insists that
land drainage is one of the most I'M
portant matters before the State. This
section of it, with the aid of dry
weather and prohibition, is already
pretty we'll drained.-Metter Adver-
tiSer.
The liquor dryness ought to suit
everyone, and proper drainage of the
land will regulate the moisture so
that good crops will grow where you
can make nothing now. The rain
fall is sufficient to makes crops all
over the state and you can not store
water in land under growing crops.
There should be pencil pocket in
Sunday Clothes. We were in crowd
of one thousand or more people Sun
day, and one in the throng desired
to write few lines of memoranda
and of all the men there not one
could produce a pencil, After rails
ing considerable dust in the seach, one
man was found with fountain pen
hanging to his coat pocket, and the
day was saved.-Irwinton Bulletin.
Evidently that crowd left home
with no thought of being called upon
to sign the pledge or make subscrip-
ton to anything.

Put Marietta down next-nobody

A number of Germans are planning
to write a story of the war. How
ever, it is our opinion that most of
the stories, if the truth were told,
would be better left unwritten.-

So far as we are concerned there
will be no German stories printed

Those United States Senators fight

so blinded by their prejdice and ha-
tired of Wilson that they would send
their country to HI? 1t seems so.
Dalton Citizen.
We are not impressed with the
sincerity of any of the bunch. Poll

We see nothing startling in a few
democratic editors and few more
heretofore Democrats speaking out
against the administration. Some
folks are evidently born to be wrong.
-Oglethorpe Echo.
And others who are born right will
get wrong at times-we all make mis-
takes but we believe the president has
made very few, and those very in
significant ones compared with the
bunch who are against everything but
themselves.
