In the most important statement that
has ever come from an official Of the
Moscow government, N. Krassin out
lined the following plans and hopes of
the Soviet.

8. Meet foreign debts and restore
the normal value of Russian money.
r {. Secure vast supplies outside of
Russia through longtime credits.
RUBLE DEPRECIATEs.
$4,000 TIMES.
II. Krassin admitted that the Russian
ruble, whose value before the war was 90
cents in American money, has deprecated
1900 times. This means that three hun
bred paper Russian rubles could now be
pcacha sed in Russia for the value Of enc
American cent.
The Soviet official was seen at the
Soviet embassy which recently was
opened In Berlin for trade and diplomatic
purposes. At the outset he produced a
book and as he tapped the back Of Il

It is said that "a fellow feeling

A CURIOUS OBJECT
DISCOVERED HERE
By RAMONA STARR

An object recently sent in to the
office of The Journal by DR.. Kemp on
the Roswell road gives every prom
Use of becoming the center of one
of the most battling problems that
has ever confronted the scientific
world. Given the proper publicity it
will undoubtedly make Marietta a
prominent figure on the world map.
Just what it is, how it happened
and why it was created is beyond the
ken of ordinary human knowledge.
1t may be an animal fossil and it
may be a vegetable and possibly a
potato. Nevertheless for the necessi-
ty of better appellation it has been
christened the IWhifflebat," lby
which name it will be officially known
until its pedigree has been investiga-
ted and identity established.
In appearance the Whifflebat bears
all the ear marks of an oversize tur-
nip. 1t also has slight resemblance
to a secondhand Ford Carburettor.
Inspection of the Whifflebat is in
vited. 1t can be seen at the Office
of The Journal at any time during
the day. Thousands of theories have
been advanced as to what this curious
object might be. What's yours?

MARTINS RUTHLESSLY
KILLED BY CITIZENS

A few nights ago several Marietta
citizens engaged in a wholesale slaugh
ter of the martins that have been
coming to the trees of the park in
droves to spend the night.
We will venture to say that prac-
tically every one of these martins
were raised in boxes and gourds care
fully placed on poles or buildings
near the rural homes of the boys and
girls in the South.
hese birds are cultivated for an es-
pecial purpose. They have been prov
en- to be indispensable, in the Grad
ication of gnats, mosquitoes and 9TH
er germ bearing insects. In this way
the people living III the urban dis
tricts are benefited by their pres
ence. In the rural sections, they are
invaluable, for the protection of
chickens and other domestic fowls
against the menace Of hawks.
Furthermore, they do not modest
any kind Of grain crop.
After these birds have searched
diligently all day on the wing for
mosquitoes and gnats, mans enc
mics, and come to spend a comforta-
bic night near mans buildings, it
seems sin to slaughter them in such
thoughtless and unmerciful sum
mer.
1t is true they could have spent the
night in a distant wood or swamp
but that is contrary to their instinct
They are mans friend. They are
born and reared near mans place OF
abode, and roost near human hablta'
ton from instinct.
They will be here only for few
weeks and go further south for the
winter. If they should become a hui
man annoyance, some means could be
used TO brighten them away without
slaughter.
The damage done the shade trees
from the gun shots was far greater
than any damage the birds woulc
have caused from roosting in the
park.

Had Several narrow escapes, from
Icebergs, Rough Seas and 9th
er Misfortunes, but arrived home
Safely none the worse for the
Adventure.

Miss Virginia Gibbs, Cobb county's
popular health nurse, who returned
Tuesday, from most interesting trip
abroad, covering a period of several
weeks, during which time she visited
ports of Iceland, Norway, Sweden
and other Northern points, related a
most thrilling account of her exper-
fences to Journal representative
Wednesday.
After hazardous navigating thru
the treacherous ice fields of north
ern waters, surrounded once by a
veritable forest of icebergs some of
them ranging in height to 500 #.
battling the swift Labrador current
and experiencing a serious boiled
explosion on board, it is well nigh a
miracle that the little party of which
Miss Gibbs was a member arrived
home in safety.
From Marietta / went straight to
New York by rail-" began Miss Gibbs,
land there joined a party which was
soon to embark on one of the noted
Whitcomb cruises. Leaving New York
with very little delay we went to St.
Johns, New Foundland, from whence
we set sail on the steamship "Empor-
or of India" on the morning of June
% for Iceland. A vague premonition
of what was in store for US was gain
ed when we noticed two smaller craft
that had been seriously damaged by
icebergs as we steamed out of the
harbor.
''Three miles distant from the
mainland I gazed in wonderment at
the first Iceberg / had ever seen. Lit
tie did ! suspect at that time that we
were destined to see too many for
our welfare before the trip was com
plete.
"On the second day at sea all the
passengers were awakened at four
O'Clock in the morning, and once
upon deck we gazed upon a solid
barricade of icebergs surrounding
US on every side. They seemed as
great as enormous peaks rising to
an incredible heigbth. The passen-
gers were all waryed Of the possible
danger, but no me became hysteri-
cal and we wer soon completely out
Of danger.
No sooner WIS the ship out of dan
ger from the icebergs than boiler

ing the death Of four men and injur-
ing fifteen others.

stream again in safety and all the
passengers were in joyful anticipa-
ton Of making the first landing. How

AM0ROUS SEEKING
FEDERAL AID FOR
GEORGIA FARMERS

Increased circulation and govern
ment advances on the cotton crop to
the extent of % cents pound would
aid in the marketing Of the cotton
crop and save majority of the cot
ton planters from bankruptcy and
ruin, Martin Amorous, local man,
Monday, told the joint committee in
vestigating conditions at the United
States Capitol in Washington.
Amorous drew a dark picture of
the present conditions of Georgia
cotton planters. He said many of
the most prosperous planters had fail
ed because of the failure to market
last years crop, and the smaller
growers were bound by liens and
mortgages to the country storekeep-
ers. He said that the cost last wear
of making cotton crop was around
40 cents a pound The government
has estimated the average cost at
81 cents pound.
Amorous said that it was a safer
plan for the government to stabilize
the man and his product than to sta
bilize the dollar, because the latter
was only medium of exchange and
was worth no more than it would
purchase of product.
Where could we get all the mon
ey needed to make the advance o2s she
crops" asked Senator Lenroot.
"The Federal Reserve System was
created for that purpose, we believe"
replied Amorous.

MARIETTA COTTON
MILL IS RUNNING
WITH FULL FORCE
35 Hands Employed and Mill Now
Producing Normal Capacity
Of 800 lbs. yarn per day.
SUPPLYING HOSIERY MILL
Mana cement Confident That The
Mill VIII Soon Be Working
On Overtime Basis

The~~Marfetta cotton mills which
opened up recently after practically
a year of inactivity are now running
on their full force of 35 employees
with maximum production of 500
pounds Of cotton yarn per day, accor-
ding to the manager, W. F. Hetrick.
Hetrick stated that prospects for the
future were very promising in view
of the fact that the Marietta Knit
ting company, by whom the full cap
acity of this plant is purchased, is
now operating in full blast
1t is stated that only~focal cotton
will be used, patronizing Cobb coun-
ty farmers to as great an extent as
possible.
This mill was created during March
of 1920, for the especial purpose of
supplying the Marietta Knitting COM
pany with cotton yarn. Consequent
ly, with the coming of the temporary
business depression, which forced the
closing of the Hosiery Mill, it like
wise became necessary to cease oper-
atoms at the Marietta Cotton Mills.
With the return of normally, the
Hosiery Mills were again enabled to
resume activities, which also warran-
ted the opening of the Marietta Cot
ton Mills.
In a recent letter from the man
agemIent of the Hosiery Mills to the
Marietta Cotton Mills, it was stated
that the product furnished them by
the Marietta Cotton Mills was by far
superior to any they had been able
to secure from other sources.
With the full capacity of three
thousand spindles now in operation
and the regular force of 35 hands,
with a payroll of approximately $3.50
per week, together with an exclusive
contract, the future outlook is ex-
ceptionally good, and an exceedingly
optimistic view of the situation is
taken by Manager Hetrick.

W0MANS CLUB OPPOSED
TO SHOOTING OF BIRDS

That the Marietta Woman's
Club was connected in any way
with the plan to rid the city of
its numerous fiocks of birds by
shooting them, was emphaticallv
denied by Mrs. l. A. White, pres
ident of that organization in an
interview with a Journal represen-
tative Monday.
1t seems that the impression was
generally held by the people of
Marietta that the Woman's Club
was responsible for this action.
According to Mrs. White, the
Woman's Club did suggest a plan
to drive the birds off, inasmuch as
they had become al public nui-
sance, with the use of roman can
dies, but does not by any means
sanction any plan for their exter-
mination.
