BUY THRIFT STAMPS
No Better Use For the June Interest
Due on the 18th on Liberty
Loan Bonds

"Holders of First Liberty Loan
Bonds can make no better use of
the interest payment they will re-
ceive on June 18th than to turn it

they can make their interest keep on
making interest for them.
"Many thousands of persons and
corporations in the Sixth Federal Re-
serve district invested in the First
Liberty Loan Bonds. Each one of
these will reap an interest crop on
June 18th. By sewing it back into
War Savings Stamps that interest is
continuing to grow. If necessity
arises War Savings Stamps are al
ways -cashable at the postoffice on
ten days notice.
"The Treasury Department is urg-
ing all persons who possibly can to
re-invest their interest coupons in
Thrift and War Savings Stamps. First
Liberty Loan Bond coupons may be
exchanged for Thrift and War Saw
ings Stamps at the banks or at the
postoffice. Keep your dollars work

IN MEMORY OF MRS.
JAMES r. BRUMBY, JR.

Another beloved one is summoned and
gone,
To realms of the blest hath her sweet
spirit flown,
While sorrow and tears our aching
hearts stirred,
A paradise welcome with rapture she
heard.
We think of her absence with painful
regret,
Her life in it's beauty, we ne'er will
forget.
A memory as fragrant as blossoms of
Spring,
Example so lovely will rich fruitage
bring.
In church work she ever was faith
full and true,
While duties domestic no negligence
!, knew,
For energy marked her most useful
career,
Inherited trait of her mother so
dear.
Allured by her mothers example so
g. bright,
She shown through her pathway re-
f1ecting the light.
Refinement and gentleness each pleas
ing grace,
Were character beauties expressed in
her face.
The King in His beauty with shining
array,
AS exquisite music to her he will say,
NY servant so faithful receive thy
reward,
Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
To relatives, husband and each dear
friend,
Our sympathies tender we wish to
extend,
And hope consultations bestowed from
above,
Will comfort their hearts with sense
of His love.
Miss Isabel Spencer Rogers.

WHERE CAR OWNERS
CHEAT THEMSELVES

Battery manufacturers estimate
that the average car owner gets about
two-thirds of the service and life OF
which his battery is capable" says
Mr.. Langford, local Willard Service
Station dealer.
One of the reasons for this, ac.
cording to Mr.. Langford, is that the
owner does not form regular habits
with regard to battery care. He will
for instance, add water every week
just as directions say as long as his
car is new. But after he has been
driving his car while, he begins to
slip and adds it only every two
weeks or every three weeks or per-
haps even let's the battery go a month
without attention.

APPRECIATION FROM
0. M. MITCHELL POST

We are in receipt of the following
letter from the o. M. Mitchell Post
of the G. A. R. in Atlanta, which is
self explanatory:
Atlanta, Ga, June 7, 1919.
The Marietta Journal:
Mr.. Editor: AS chairman of the
committee having charge of the SER
vices on memorial day at the Mariet-
ia National cemetery, l desire to ex-
press through your paper our hearty
appreciation of the many things done
by citizens of Marietta and Cobb
county toward making the celebration
success this year.
Specially to extend our thanks to
Miss Schilling, and other ladies from
the church choirs, and the members
of the Hardeman Bros. band for lead
ing the singing; to Mrs. Lyons and
U. D. C. ladies; to the ladies who,
with their own autos rendered such
efficient service in carrying to and
from the grounds those unable to
walk; and to the Black Undertaking
Co. for similar service; to the First
Baptist church for loan of chairs,
and to the John S. Dobbins Furni-
ture Company for loan of chairs and
sending their motor truck to trans
port flowers and people to the ceme-
terry; to the Marietta Ice & Coal Co.
for donation of ice; to the many mer-
chants who closed their places of
business during the services; and to
themany citizens of Marietta and
Cobb county who attended and took
part in the celebration, and for the
resolution that they adopted express
ing their appreciation of the work of
the superintendent of tin. cemetery,
Capt. VIM. Wilson.
Beside the benches on the grounds
663 chairs were taken to the cemete-
nv, and nearly all of these were occu-
pied in spite of the threatening
character of the weather.
We are glad that each year the
day is being more regarded as ma
tional day in which every American
has a part, and that the attendance
of the white citizens of your city and
county is constantly increasing. To
day Marietta cemetery contains the
remains of hundreds of men who Of
fered and gave their lives for coun-
try and freedom, in both the Span
ish-American War, and in the great
war that we hope is soon to be
brought to happy close. In the
celebration this year the immortal
address delivered by Abraham Lin
coin on the battle field of Gettys-
burg, was read by a Confederate vet
eran who fought there under Lee,
and who after the reading paid a
glowing personal tribute to the mar
tyred president; the leading address
of the day was by a captain IN the
famous 82d Division of the army in
France, and who was wounded in the
fierce fighting in the Argonne For
est: and a shorter address by the
historian of the United Spanish War
veterans. The military escort and
firing squad consisted of members OF
Fitzhugh Lee Camp of Spanish War
veterans, who have taken over a con-
siderable section of the cemetery to
be their special care hereafter. AS
we members of the Grand Army OF
the Republic are rapidly passing away
we rejoice that others are ready to
take up the labor of love that we
have so long carried on at the Mari
eta National cemetery.

hand to defend them. The case had been
set for two o'clock, but Moore did not
arrive until after three o'clock. His
clients had been returned to their cells.

lNDlANAPOLIS, Ind, May Ia
Large increases in the assessed valua-
tion OF Lake county concerns this year
as compared with valuations of last
year are shown in a report made to the
state board Of tax commissioners by a
special representative. The state board
is gratihed over the indication that
property is being valued by the assess
ors Of Lake on the true cash value prin-
ciple, but it has intimated that there is
likely to be shaking OF dry bones
in Indianapolis and Marion county.
where. it Is reported, that assessed val
uations are not coming up to expecta-
tions Of the state board
Lake county has had a very high tax
rate. especially IN some Of the cities,
but 1t IS predicted that Lake county
next year will have one of the lowest
tax rates IN the state because the val
uatlons this year are much higher than
they were last year. Under the new tax
law tax rates come down generally in
proportion to the increase in assessed
valuation.
The special representative Of the
state tax board reports from Lake coun-
~ the assessments this year as com
pared with last for q large number Of
concerns. Some examples follow:
Cudahy Packing Company last year.
$4,000, this year. s1,4OO. 600: Indiana
Box Company. $1,000. S105.o00: Lin

Straube Piano Company, $4,000. S2lS.-
900; Sinclair Refining Company. $4,000,

The increases are due partly to the
development of the properties. but the
chief cause IS the enforcement Of the
