HELPING OUT SHORT
PASTURE IN SUMMER
Stock RaiserS Face lnC0nveni-
ence and Stock Loss.
There Is Only One Remedy Where
Vast Herds Are Kept and That 10
to Practice System Of Deferred
and Rotation Grazing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Stock raisers, especially in the
Southwest, often, at this season of the
year, face much Inconvenience and
probable loss of cattle through the
shortage of pastures. In other sec
tions, where smaller herds and areas
are involved, the summer pasture stu
alton can be met In various ways say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Among the
ways are the sowing of catch crops
for summer forage or temporary pas
lures. But, with ranges running into
thousands of acres, with vast herds
grazing, there is only one remedy and
that is to put into practice a system
of deferred and rotation grazing.
Such system will necessitate the
division of the range into separate
pastures. keeping the cattle off OF one
pasture each year until the seeds of
the native grasses are mature, at
which time cattle may be turned to
Craze. In this manner the growth of
grass is utilized and the grass seeds
are trampled into the SOIL which Is
necessary to termination. By sys-
tematic rotation each pasture may be
allowed to reseed once in each three
| to five years. as desired.
Where ranges are heavily stocked
| in the beginning of such system, 1t
may be necessary to transfer part
| of the herd to other ranges, but the
ultimate result will be an increase In
the carrying capacity of the range, as
has been shown in various experiences
in the Southwest. Overstocking should
be avoided in every instance.

subjected to rapid changes from light
to heavy loads, is alternately wet and
dry, is run on pulleys that are not
true or are too small for the weight
and thickness of the belt, or is neg
lected and allowed to deteriorate for
lack of grease.
The belt should be wiped off every
night to prevent dust, dirt, or oil from
working into it. When the belt needs
oiling clean it well, especially on the
pulley side, by washing with warm
water and good neutral soap. Wash
rapidly and do not permit belt to be-
come wet, as it will then stretch and
slip. Apply the dressing lightly and
evenly by rubbing it in with cotton
waste or piece of felt, and allow
it to soak in the belt overnight. Among
the best belt dressings are mixtures
of cod and neats-foot oils with tai
low and wool grease, free from min
eral acid.

MARIETTA HIGH BOYS
IN DANGEROUS ACCIDENT

On Monday afternoon jolly crowd
of High School boys, while riding in
a truck to join the rest of the High
School in picnic at Austell, came
to grief on the Austell road.
In trying to avoid dangerous rut
in the road the driver swerved too
far, the truck turned on its side, and
the boys were thrown Violently to the
ground. It was feared at first that
some were seriously injured, but
boys have as many lives as cats, and
though all we're considerably bruised
and shaken up, only four were really
hurt! Douglas, the young son of Mr..
and Mrs. K. II. Northcutt fell on his
head and at first it was thought his
skull was fractured, but he is about
all right now. Bolan, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Warren Boatner, has pair
fully sprained elbow and Joseph
Gaines and Bill Cox have numerous
scratches and bruises.
The boys had an unfortunate end
ing to happy day-but a. narrow
escape from tragedy!

BOARD Of EDUCATION
HAS NO SALARY FUND.
Address Letter To Public Saving
Lawful Taxes Have Not
Been Collected.
MARSHALL HAS CANvAssED
. City Says People Have Not Respond
ed To Efforts OF Authorities
In Matters.

Finding it impossible to paw the
teachers for the month of April. the
city Board of Education has made a
plain statement to the people of Mari
eta about the condition of affairs.
The board of education states that
if the taxes had been collected ac-
cording to law there would be ample
money on hand to meet all obliga-
tions.
The city officials state that efforts
have been made to collect taxes but
people have not responded. Legal
steps will probably have to be resort
ed to in order to make collections.
According to an official only about
$4,000 has been secured to>date.
The following letter is addressed
to the public by the board of edu-
cation and it is hoped that immediate
action will be taken to supply funds
for the teachers salaries without hav-
ing them wait for any amount due
them.
To the People of Marietta
1t is with sincere regret that we
are unable to pay our school teachers
for the month ending, April %, due
to the fact that the city administra-
ton has failed to collect and turn
over to us the taxes that were due
and collectible last fall. If these
taxes had been collected, according
to the law, and turned over to our
Board, sufficient amount would
have been in hand not only to have
paid the salaries of our teachers, but
our other obligations as well.
Our bank has Accommodated the
Board since the early part of this
year, expecting from month to month
that these taxes would be collected.
Under the circumstances, we could
not expect the bank to do more than
they have done.
Last year the Board published a
statement of it's assets and liabilities
stating that they had operated with
in their income. The Board has con-
tinued this same policy, and if we
were able to collect what was due US,
we, today, would not have any out
standing Indebtedness.
It is to be hoped that the city ad-
ministration Immediately will pro-
coed to collect this money that the
teachers may be promptly paid. Your
Board has urged that this be done.
Respectfully,
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

THREE fine PLAYS
Draws Good Audience In Spite of
Weather. Repetition
Asked.

The three one act plays given by
the Drama Council of the Y. w. G.

success, and were remarkably well
attended in spite of the very incle-
ment weather. No players could
have had more appreciative and en-
thusiastic audience. The plays. new
institution here were also very sue
cessful financially, and the enterpris-
ing Drama Council will be able not
only to pay the expenses of these
plays, but will have quite a sum to
place on the new scenery fund. The
new indoor set, curtains, etc, are
very pretty and the audience COM
mented most favorably upon the ar
tistic settings and wonderfully fine
bghtings of these charming produc-
tions.
The plays were a whimsical one,
"Three Pills In a Bottle; tragedy,
"Triffles" and a comedy, "Joint
Owners In Spain," all productions of
nne modern authors, all examples of
the best in the "New School" of fic-
ton.
To try to single out as best any
one of the sixteen actors of the even
ing would be useless, but special men
ton should be made Of the excellent
work Of Thornton, the nine year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawson Fields,
and of the graceful dancing of pref
ty little Dorothy Nutting. Mention
also might be made of the charming
Introductory talk by Mrs. Warren E.
Benson, he talented director of the
Drama Council. Numerous requests
have been received by Mrs. Benson
to have these plays repeated, and she
has alsobeen asked to put them on in
Douglasville next week.

Tech CAMPAIGN WELL
UNDER WAY IN COBB
Tech Students Come Out To Ma
rietta And Assist In Work
Of Getting Subscriptions

The local Tech campaign was given
new impetus yesterday when rs Tech
students came out to Marietta on a
special car and spent two hours can
wasting the town for subscriptions.
Nearly $1,000 was raised in small
amounts by the students and the COM
mittees appointed at meeting last
week are carrying forward the drive
for Cobb county's quota.
Mr.. Guy Northcutt, chairman for
the county reports the drive progress
sing nicely and considerable amount
has already been subscribed to the
campaign.
An increase of income of 100000
a year in Cobb county is in prospect
as a direct result Of the success of
the 100000 campaign for Great
er Georgia Tech, now waging all
over Georgia. movement to fit out
the state technical school with plant
worthy of Georgia's young manhood:
and able to send Georgia along to the
top rank among the industrial states
of the Union.
But this is a county matter too.
It has been reasoned out as follows
The statistics of the United States
government show that the average
high school graduate earns $1,000 a
wear, while the average Tech gradu-
ate ears $500 year-a margin IN
favor of the technical education OF
81, 900 year, or of $4,000 in the
average lifetime.
Thus each of the Tech graduates
four years at Tech is worth $4,000
to him:
Each county in Georgia has the
privilege Of fifteen free scholarships
! each year at Georgia Tech. Fifteen
times $4,000 is 100000.
Georgia Tech, then, stands, for an
income of $780, 600 year to every
county in the State of Georgia.
Figured another way, with 2,8OO
students now at Tech, it means that
Georgia Tech is increasing the life
earnings Of those boys $56.o0O,OOO
for each year they spend at the insti'
| tuition.
The present campaign for $4,000
900 is to double Techs capacity. Colo
Statistics show that this VIII enable
Georgia Tech to become worth Sll2,
900 900 a year to the boys Of Geor'
gia.

MEMORIAL PROGRAM
WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL
Whole South Observed Day With
Renewed Interest and Rever-
n zee For Heroes.
IMPRESSIVE SERVICE HERE
Local Business Houses Closed To
Honor Memory Confederate
Dead.

Many years have passed since Me-
mortal Day was observed with more
hitting programs, more reverently and
with more feeling than last Tuesday.
From all parts of the state and the
South the Southern spirit seems to
have been manifested with a newness
in doing honor to the memory of the
brave Southern men who died for a
lost cause and no where was the day
more beautifully observed than in
Marietta. The business houses closed
early and all took part in the pro-
gram that had been planned.
Memorial Day
The day dawned with dark clouds
over head, and for awhile the dread
ed rain seemed near, but the sun soon
won its way, dispite the threatening
showers, and shone brightly down up
on the gathering crowds of Marieta's
enthusiastic people.
The parade was led by the Ga
Ry. and Power Co. Band, sent COM
plimentary by Mr.. Preston Ark
wright, of Atlanta. A very great and
pleasant addition. Next followed in
the procession.
The Red Cross.
The Boy Scouts.
The firing squad from Fort Nc
Pherson.
The Veterans.
The Memorial Association.
The U. D. C.'s and last the long,
long line Of school children, bearing
in their little hands, bright flowers
and wreathes on their shoulders, the
most beautiful and distinctive feature
of the occasion.
How our hearts frightened at the
sight of their happy faces and caught
the glow of their joyous youth, as
they moved rymthmically EDWARDS.
Memorial Day without the child
rem would indeed be failure in Ma
rietta.
DIR. j. H. Patton, of the Presbyter-
ian church announced the program.
and introduced the orator Of the daN
DR.. l. A. White, of the Baptist
church.
The program was as follows:
America-Sung by all present.
Prayer-By Rev. J. M. Tumlin, of
the Methodist church.
An exquisite original poem-By
Mrs. ]. H. Boston, Jr., "The Boys in
Gray" Mrs. Boston's rendition of
it, was most impressive.
"Dixie" was next on the program
sung by all standing, the sweet voices
of the children blending in so har-
moniously.
The Memorial address of DR..
White, was full of fire and pathos, and
the truth that never can be hidden
"why our fathers, fought bled and
died for the Cause of the South" was
one Of the best ever given and never
to be forgotten.
In answer to the bugle call of
"taps," the Firing Squad from Fort
Mcpherson fired three volleys over
the graves of our soldier dead.
DR.. Patton pronounced the bene-
diction and the children were free to
place their floral offerings upon the
graves of the brave "heroes who wore
the Gray"
