COOKING DRIED FRUITS

To get the very best out of dried
fruits it is well to know n few of the
essential things in regard to cooking
and serving them. A great many
cooks wash the fruit hurriedly, caus-
ing il 10 become broken, then il is put
into boiling water and cooked hard.
sometimes too long, causing it TO be-
come pulpy; then sugar is added and
. unsatisfactory dish OF dried fruit is
the result.
One OF the most reliable cooking re
ciepes gives the following rules for
cooking and serving dried fruit:
Cover with topid water, let stand.
then wash carefully tif the washing is
attempted before the fruit has had
time to expand to normal shape the
pieces win be bruised and there viii
be dirt and sand remaining in the
cooking water). Throw off the wa
ter. Add fresh, almost boiling water.
and allow to stand for several hours.
At the end of this time the fruit
should have absorbed its normal a.
mount of water and need no cooking.
But if it should still be little tough,
simmer over a slow fire
Add cinnamon stick or sugar last,

but always remember that dried fruits
should need no sugar. Cool, then re-
move pieces carefully with the skim
mer to the serving dish, and pour the
strained juice over it.
The common mistakes are to wash
innderuately and to cook too fast and
too hard.
Dried apples, peaches, pears, prun-
es, apTicots, figs and raisins will give
q different sauce for every day in the
week. Instead, such fruits give all the
value and taste of expensive canned
fruits at cost of from l5 to 20 cents
a pound.
More housekeepers indeed should
the value of the small, whole-dried
cooking fig, which is SO excellent and
wholesome for children, especially in
winter. Or how many use the seed
less raisin, not in puddings or cake
but in a stewed form which requires
no sugar and which is a most pleas
ant, also laxative, dish?

LEAGUE PLAY
Is CHANGED TO MONDAY
VIII Be Presented at Dixie Theatre
Instead of Auditorium as
First Advertised

On account of the impossible con-

auditorium the Girls Patriotic League
have found it necessary to change the
place and also the date for presenting
the comedy, Breezy Point"
They have arranged with the man.
agement of the Dixie Theatre for the
exclusive use of the theatre on the
evening of Monday, May 5th, and it
will be used.
1t is thought that this change will
afford much more comfortable seat
ing, and the capacity is also larger
than the auditorium.
Konigsmark Orchestra has been Sc
cured to furnish the music for the
occasion.
The tickets are only % and 35
cents and are now on sale at the
drug stores and also by members Of
the league.
The cause is a most worthy one
and it is to be hoped that the girls
will have large audience to show
due appreciation of their talent and
patriotism.

new RATES OF PHONE
RENT FOR MARIETTA

The new schedule Of phone rates
for Marietta amount practically to
a raise of fifty cents per months for
all phones, and outside the city an ad-
ditional mileage charge is added to the
rent of all phones. This varies of
course according to the distance of
the station from the exchange base
area, which is the city limits.
While the new rate will only add
six dollars per year to the cost of
city phones, it would seem that it
is going to make country phones more
expensive.
All subscribers will receive a bill
which indicates the new rate, so that
ere this is printed you should be adj
vised of the new rate, as it becomes
effective May 1st.
We expect, of course, to hear some
complaint of the raise, but when
other prices are considered, and we
remember that the phone companies
have gone through the war without
any raise of rates, the new rates will
not appear to be unreasonable.
All war prices seem to be going to
hold on for some time yet, and we
presume this is simply a matter of
sefdefense.
One thing we can say for the phone
service at Marietta, it is as good as
the best in any town we know, and
better than that of most places. We
have never had the slightest reason
to complain of any feature of the
service here, and we will gladly pay
the price to continue its present high
standard of service.

BIG MASS MEETING
IN MARIETTA TUESDAY
Plans For Road Work and Designated
Roads To Be Submitted To the
People At This Meeting

For some weeks the county COM
missioners have been busy with the
committee of citizens, authorized the
mass meeting of April 18th, drawing
up plans for road work in Cobb Coun-
ty, to be submitted to the people In
mass meeting at the court house
at 10 o'clock on Tuesday, May 9Th.
Under the plans which have been
prepared every part of the county will
have improved roads if the bond is
sue is called for and passed.
The sum to be spent on each road
is to be designated and the character
of the work to be done is also stated.

various roads in an effort to make
a just apportionment.
On next Tuesday, May 9Th, these
plans will be read to the open meet
ing and you will have an opportunity
to express your approval or otherwise.

ly meet the approval of all sections.

public yet, but you are asked to be
at the court house next Tuesday when
the matter will be decided, also by
the wishes of the people at this meet
ing, and expressed in the meeting,

about calling the bond election.
We sincerely urge you to be on
hand Tuesday no matter what you
may wish in the matter.

Mr.. Morris has served the county
faithfully and we'll since his first cleo

der on the Powder Springs Greek
drainage project, and bought dredg-
ing outfit, which he is expecting at
once.
He will devote his time to this work
in future and will be bidder on oth1

KING AWTREY HAS
ANOTHER HONOR

Lieutenant Commander Robert King
Awtrey now has been given perma-
nent command of the U. S. S. Gamble.
This is one of the newest of Uncle
Sans torpedo boat destroyers of
1900 tons, one Of the best, and for
man of the age Of King Awtrey,
the position is quite an expression of
confidence.
His father, Mr.. Bernard Awtrey,
is just in receipt of letter from
him in which he states that they are
about to leave New York on duty
along the proposed cross7ocean air
flights, to help mark the way for the
flyers, "a pillar of cloud by day and
pillar of fire by night" and for the
further duty of rescuing any of those
so unfortunate as to fall into the sea
near them, and to render any other
possible assistance.
1t is only a matter of days, or per-
haps hours, until some one shall have
flown safely acros the Atlantic, and
we are hoping the honor may fall to
some American.
The flying machine is an American
invention and America should con-
tinue to lead the way in all progress
and invention.

THE ANNUAL MEETING
OF THE SACRED HARP
SINGING ASSOCIATION
Fine Weather Brings Out An
Unusual Attendance
Court House, Park Square and Every
Other Available Nook and Corner
of the Town Filled With Visitors
at Big Singing Last Sunday.

Anyone who doubts the prosperity
and happiness of the people of Cobb
and other nearby counties might have
had all doubts dispelled by visit to
Marietta on last Sunday.
If smiling faces, well-dressed and
well-fed people and great numbers of
automobiles can be taken as an evil
dence of prosperity, it was here in
abundance that day.
For years it has been gala occa-
sion when the annual singing of the
Sacred Harp Association is held in
Marietta, but on no other occasion
has the attendance been so large and
so happy as that which gathered here
this year.
The meetings are always held here
on the fourth Sunday in April, the
only officers being the chairman and
vice-chairman. Although it is Cobb
county association it has grown to be
an affair of several counties. Some
fifty singers from Atlanta were in at
tendance here Sunday, while half as
many were from Milton county and a
number from all the other counties
adjoining.
Mr.. P. A. Reed, of Roswell, was
the retiring chairman, and presided
over this meeting, Mr.. M. W. Muir
dock, of Marietta, being vice-ehair-
man. For the coming year, Mr.. E.
G. Mccarthy, of route 8, Marietta,
was elected chairman, while Mr.. Muir
dock was reelected as the vice-chair-
man.
The meeting was an exceedingly
happy and harmonious one, and the
singing good. 1t is with genuine
pleasure that we welcome such gather
ings to our town.

TOO MUCH WETNESS TO
BRING INTO GEORGIA
Tom Brown, of Atlanta, Got OFF At
Marietta With Two Much
Heavy Luggage

Sheriff Swanson made haul last
Friday, when he met the L. & N. train
from Louisville, and found Tom
Brown getting off with four large
suit cases. Tom is a young Greek,
of the lower grade, and lives in At
lanta.
The sheriff was curious to know
why he should get off here with so
much luggage, and when his wife
appeared in car, with one John,
Towns, colored, driving, they pro-
ceeded to load the suit cases into the
car.
Just as they were about to depart
for Atlanta the Sheriff came in and
arrested the trio, one other man, who
was APPARENTLY companion, escaping.
A seach of the suit cases brought
to light IL quarts and 1872 pints of
as mean whiskey as ever made a
man beat his wife, or the wife beat
her husband.
The three were placed in Jail, where
Brown and his wife are still residing,
the negro driver having given bond
for his appearance at court. The car,
which evidently was the property of
Brown, is being held also.

FORD CAR TURNS OVER
WITH TWO YOUNG MEN

What almost proved a fatal acct
dent occurred on Monday when Aus
tin Boatner, and his cousin Glenn
Boatner, driving Ford ear, were
wrecked at the foot of hill on the
lower Roswell road
Austin Boatner was driving and
discovered two holes in the road i'm
mediately in front of him, while his
car was going at high speed and in
trying to avert these the car was
thrown from the road and completely
over on the top, crushing it and the
windshield, and then righted itself
again upon its wheels.
The young men were both rendered
unconscious by the fall, but Austin
quickly recovered to find his left
collar bone broken. Assistance ar
rived about that time and both were
brought to Marietta, and given medi-
cal aid. Glenn's injury was blow
on the head, causing temporary con-
cussion of the brain, and this kept
his in a semi-conscious condition for
day, but both are now out again
friends are congratulating them upon
their escape from serious injury.
The young men had been on a
fishing trip and were going to the
home of an aunt nearby for dinner,
at the time of the accident, but that
dinner was one meal they missed.
