GERMANS MAY NOT
SIGN TERMS OF PEACE

A period of seven days of grace
has been extended to Germany by the
Representatives of the allied and asso-
ciated governments in which the Ger
man peace plenipotentiaries may con-
clude their study of the peace treaty
and formulate such replies to the va
rious clauses as they desire.
The extension of time which origi-
nally was to have expired at noon
Thursday, was set forward to Thurs
day, May 20, at the request of the
Germans who advanced the plea that
more time was required in order that
they might formulate arguments of
much Importance.
Almost simultaneously with the re-
quest by the peace plenipotentiaries
for more time comes from Berlin a
statement of the German cabinet that
Germany is unwilling to sign the
peace treaty. The document is re-
iteration, although in stronger words
of the views of the foremost states
men in Germany that the sealing of
the compact would spell the ruin of
the former empire.

TWENTY MOTOR TRUCKS
MAKE RUN ATLANTA TO
ROME AND BACK AGAIN
Truck Service is Practical
and Profitable
All Sorts of Freight is Carried by the
Trucks on Test Run to Fully DEM
onstrate the Advantage of a Regu-
lar Truck Service.

About ten-thirty Tuesday morning
number of cars came into Marietta
bringing a party of newspaper men
and truck representatives, who were
acting as observers for the Atlanta
Rome truck run A few minutes
later some twenty trucks of various
makes hove in sight, each loaded with
freight from Atlanta for Rome.
This was the truck run arranged
for by the Atlanta Journal and the
Rome Tribune-H Herald and among the
scouts along was our old friend Capt.
Ralph Smith, ready to figure out the
answer at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The whole party was entertained
for dinner at Gainesville and reach
ed Rome about 100 p. m. having left
Atlanta at 900 a. M, an hours stop
being made at Gainesville.
One of the trucks in the train bore
a shipment for John S. Dobbins, of
Marietta, consisting of metal bed
steads.
On Wednesday, about one o'clock,
the trucks passed through on the re-
turn trip, each bearing a load of
freight to the capacity of the truck.
While the cargoes on the north
bound trip were varied, the south
bound loads were nearly all of stoves,
one of Rome's famous manufactured
products.
The run each way was made at an
average speed of about twelve miles
per hour-the seventy-two miles in
six hours. Some trucks made little
better than this.
The cost of fuel, oil and driver hire
is said to figure much lower per ton
mile than the freight rates and as the
trucks encountered no serious trouble
anywhere, it will not be surprising to
see this service established regularly
by some line, or at least to see great
increase of traffic by truck in this
section.
The Atlanta Journal and Rome
Tribune Herald are to be commend
ed for their enterprise in bringing
about this demonstration.
1t was a jolly party of boosters
who accompanied the run, and they
were all talking for good roads, good
cars and good business.

NATIONAL DECORATION DAY

May 80, which is National Decora-

to get place in this weeks issue.
The program will appear in our
next issue, which will be on the morn
ing of the day. From Camp Mitchell
comes an urgent invitation to citizens
and civic bodies to join in the exer-
cises.

A TRICK TIGER CAN

Sheriff Swanson has in his posses
sion one of the new swindling blind
tiger whiskey cans.
1t was discovered in the woods out
beyond Coles pasture last week and
reported to the sheriff who brought it
in.
Investigation proved that it con-
tanned one-half pint of whiskey in a
piece of pipe which was fixed inside
the neck of the can, which, like an
small island, was surrounded by wa
ter in the body of the can.

TRUCKS MADE FINE RECORDS

The speed-cost-ton record of the
trucks in the Atlanta-Rome run is
rather a complex affair to figure out
relative merits, but we can easily see
that the REQ, the Oldsmobile, and
the Maxwell, all of which are repre-
sented here, made creditable records.
The Atlanta Journal of Thursday
gives the detailed record which is
even better than our estimate in an
other article in this issue.

TEN MOBILE BUSINESS
BLOCKS ARE BURNED

Mobile, Ala, May 81 - Property
damage of $75O,0OO, destruction of
nine and half city blocks of stores

THREE OF OUR BOYS
IN FAMED EVENT

Of course we feel that Commander
John Towers partly belongs to Ma
rietta, because, though a native of
Rome, he is a nephew of Misses Tai
lullah and Mary Towers and has
often visited them.
But there are two other partici-
pants of that world famed trans-At-
lanta fight who are really Marietta
boys. These are Commander King
Awtrey, who is in command of the
Destroyer Gamble, and Lieutenant
Robt. Adair Awtrey of the U. S. S.
Cassin.

From one end of Michigan to the
other is the stamping ground of G. @.
McCloskey, state director Of all War
Savings societies in Michigan. Mr..
McCloskey's headquarters are in De-
troit, but most of the time he is hurry
ing about the state. He has formed
thousands of the societies this year,
and the number Of Michigan residents
who have joined these organizations
for systematic thrift runs into the tens
of thousands.
McCloskey, hard-headed Irishman,
is too shrewd to urge the purchase Of
War Savings stamps as matter Of
patriotism. He asks his prospect
where he can get the yield of nearly
Az per cent which q War Savings
stamp returns, with perfect safety
thrown in. He tells the man his own
interests require that he should begin
saving Systematically.
Michigan made the poorest showing
of any middle western state in 1918,
but this year its record is steadily i'm
proving, and its finish will be close to
the top.

MICHIGAN FAIRS AID w. s. S.
County and State Bodies to Purchase
Stamps to Be Given as Expo
sltion Prizes.

Michigan county and state fairs will
lend assistance to the government in
its effort to pay the war bills, by pur-
chasing thousands of dollars worth of
war stamps to be given as prizes at the
1919 expositions.
At a recent meeting of the Michigan
Fair association G. w. Dickinson, Sec
retary-manager Of the Michigan State
fair, told the delegates Of this plan.
Luman w. Goodenough, state direc.
tor of the War Savings committee of
Michigan, urged the fair executives to
use every agency within their power
to bring Michigan into the front ranks
of the states in War Savings stamps
sales. He pointed out that hundreds
Of boys and girls Savings Stamps clubs
are organized throughout the state,
and the members would rather receive
stamps than cash.
On motion of Mr.. Dickinson a reso-
luton was adopted, pledging the fair
directors to the use of War Savings
stamps as prizes in every case where
it will be logically possible. Many Of
the premiums in the boys and girls
departments will be in the form of gov
eminent certificates. The directors
announced they would urge exhibitors
to purchase stamps with their premium
money in cases where it is impossible
for the arrangements to offer Clamps
as prizes.

hoard up few extra pennies or dol

get the best and most out Of the in.

citizen 1t means saving for investment

Credit We. Cash.

II you have more cash than credit,
you're a miser. Credit being more
valuable than cash, wise workers put
their savings where they will earn
most credit and bring most credit TO
the Garner. Nothing like governmental
securities for establishing good credit.
Thus the money invested In War Saw
lngs Stamps pays In two ways.
