Found at North Freedom For
Safe Blowing

Evidently the nitroglycerin, dyna-
mite caps, fuse, masks, keys, soap and
revolver found secreted at the stock
yards at North Freedom belonged to
men who intended to blow safe or
safes. With a drill hole is made
in the door near the combination lock,
the fluid is poured into the hole, a
cap and fuse attached. A match ignit-
es the fuse and soon the door is
blown open. The whole outfit was
turned over to Chicago C Northwest
ern detectives who took the property
TO Madison.
The detectives were not informed
until two days after the property was
found and in the meantime it is
thought the yeggman returned to
find it gone. Had the detectives
known a few hours earlier they would
have shadowed the spot and no doubt
made an arrest.
From the appearance OF the outfit
some bank or safe would have been
attacked in the near future, it is be-
liefed.

Of Baraboo to the tune of "a to II at
the local high school gym. The game
started with long clean can shot by
John Sprecher about two seconds af-
ter the first whistle and the close de-
tense of the local five entirely shut
out the Tigers in the first half, score
IL to at the end of half. Beginning
the second half the Tigers came back
strong and started scoring, but with
the big lead of the Baraboo five and
the continued strong defense it was
an uphill fight. The Tigers are con-
sidered one Of the fastest teams in the
state and this is the first game they
have lost this season, which peaks
well for Baraboo. They having played
such teams as the Denver Athletics
and GAINESVILLE. Another game is to
be played soon at Brooklyn.

with us some of the best entertainers of the Redpah
Chautauqua circuit.
Ten excellent programs have been arranged, and
the admission price for the entire chautauqua pro
gram is so small that hundreds of Marietta and Cobb
county people should take advantage Of this oppor
tunty to hear something really good in oratory, mu-
sic and song.
This year the Marietta Women's club are to be
give ncredit for bringing the chautauqua here.
1t is not only considerable financial undertaking.
but it means campaign of intensive and earnest
work to make Of chauauqua week the success that is
hoped it will be- The Women s club is working dill
gently to make the season Of 1922 a great success
and in this worthy effort they should be given the
hearty support and patronage of all the people of
this community
Boost the chautauqua. Speak good word for it.
Buy few tickets. The excellent program
contains nothing that is bad and on the other hand
there is something to be gained from attending these

waiting and entertaining. Marietta can well show
her appreciation by filing the tent to seating

Democratic Landslide Again In
Action in New York and Connecticut.

The Democratic landslide moving steadily across
the country reached the Thirty Congressio-
nal District of New York on April II, and crushed
a Republican plurality of $4,000 down to 5000, with
every city in the district Democratic The contest
was for the seat of Alanson B. Houghton recently
appointed Ambassador to Germany, and the Demo-
cratic candidate Judge Frank Irvine who made
an aggressive campaign which attracted the atten-
ton of the nation. The Republicans have not even
their usual of bad weather for election day
was bright and sunshiny and special effort was
made by the Republican managers to get the farmer
and woman vote
On its way to New York the Democratic landslide
took in the city of New Britain, Conn, resulting in
the election of Democrat for mayor, who defeated
the Republican incumbent thus completing the list
of Democratic mayors in all the large cities of Con-
necticutt
The most significant thing about the special Con-
gressional and the regular municipal elections this
year is that they have invariably shown either posi-
tive Democratic victories or tremendous Democratic
gains.

Why Farm Bureaus In Every County.

The experimental stage of the County Farm Bureau
has passed 1t is accepted fact that the Farm Bureau
lis the most efficient and beneficial body organized
Tor the upbudng of not only the agricultural sections
but the entire country.
The Farm Bureau, which is about three years old
and has paid up membership of around two million
has its worth in all sections of the country All
of the States except three have efficient organizations
In these three states the preliminary work has been
started The organization has proven popular and profit
liable for all classes of farmers rich and poor big and
little grain farmers, live stock farmers cotton farmers
truck growers and all other classes 1t is one farmers
Organization which has not depended knocking other
lines of industry for its growth and popularity
Farmers, bankers, business and all people gener-
Tally who have the upbuidng of the country at heart
have become interested in the organization ard have
gven it their active support 1t matter of history
that when the agricultural interests are prosperous that
Jail lines of industry share in this prosperity
The backbone of the Farm Bureau movement is the

The Curb Market Needs a Boost
From Some Civic Organization

Is 1t not about time to start the Curb Market &?
The Journal has list of names of some of the
best farmers in this section who have sgnified their
intention OF occupying stall at the market when it
is opened. These farmers will have for sale every
variety of vegetable and fruit grown in this section
and also other country produce such as eggs butter
milk honey, etc
1t may be little early for a general curb market
but the demand is here now for the early vegetables
and the Journal believes that the market wonld
open with large number of farmers on hand to
supply the demand for whatever seasonable fruits.
vegetables and produce that might be wanted
The Curb market should be started at once If
is needed in Marietta not only to supply the needs
OF the people, but to provide ready market for the
farmer who has heretofore been compelled TO take
his vegetables and produce to the Atlanta market
AS stated in the Journal repeatedly all that is
needed IS for some civic organization to start the
movement The demand for the market should make
itself evident, and the good work carrie forward
by It's own momentum when it has been give the
right start

The Library Must Continue
Financial Support is Needed

With the available funds for the Clarke Library
nearly exhausted the supporters and those who have
pride in the institution are forced to look to some
scheme to continue the service in the future.
Not only is the library important a public in
stitution but important for the school children
of Marietta A member of the board of education
stated to the Journal that the Library was absolute
ly necessary in order to keep the Marietta High
school on the accredited list
The Librarian in giving report of the activities
of the library made known the fact that hundreds
of children eager for something to read turned
away ON account of deficiency of suitable books.
The library mush be continued. 1t would be a
calamity to let the high school be taken off the
less calamity to let the children of the city and
county be cut off from this source of reading sup
plies
To discontinue the Library would be like turning
hungry child away to seek food in the streets of
the city What child reads has great deal to do
with the ideas it FORMS its character and it's future
as citizen.
Older people who have wisdom enough to re-
alize the Importance of library should not allow
children of the community be deprived of its advan-
tages. Marietta citizens are too highly cultured to
overlook the Importance of this institution and will
no doubt lend every assistance in any plan that is
made to continue the services of the library in this
community It's a necessity
