GREAT WORLD WAR PICTURES IN MARIETTA
MONDAY AND TUESDAY SEPT, 25-26
To Be Shown Under Auspices of
American Legion. Greatest
Pictures Ever Made of
Real Action During
Great Conflict.

FLASHES of Action" the picture to
be given at the Strand Theater on
next Monday and Tuesday under the
auspices of the local post of the Am
erican Legion is probably the great
est picture of the World War ever
produced. The picture is made from
many actual photographs of action
taken by men who later lost their
lives on the firing lines.
Horace Orr Post No. 20 has secur-
ed the picture for Marietta for two
days and will give the public chance
to see the only real World War NOV
ing picture ever made. The picture
will not only be interesting and in
structive to those who could not have
part of in the war, but will be
equally interesting to the ex-service
men and will recall many memories
of their service in France.
The people of Marietta and Cobb
county are especially urged to see
this picture as it will not only be a
help for the local Legion Post, but
will give them a real glimpse of the
American Soldier in action. Don't
! Atlpo OAAlo PUSGuIG IL yOu ever GADGCI
/ to have another thrill.
MAYOR GAM SAYS, "SEE
THIS GREAT WAR PICTURE.
The American Legion of Marietta
] is live wire organization, composed
| of men who served in the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps during the
World War. They are men whom we
/ Ia1inbt m hAv,@y, 49,
away with tears to serve their
country in times of stress and danger
They are the men who went over
smailing, ad filled the people of
France and England with wonder at
their cheerfulness and bravery under
fire and in the Shiny mud and discom-
forts of war. They are men to
whom we must look largely for lead
ership at the present, and especially
in the future. We older men must
necessarily begin to slow down and
apss our mantles to them. This little
circuar which being printed and cir
culated by this organization is a
proof that they are accepting the
trust of leadership and are willing to
assume their burdens.
This is an appeal to the people of
Marietta and the surrounding
country, and not only to take an in
terest in the American Legion, but
to give them to understand that we
still look to them for their service to
their country and their community.
They are needed now as much as
ever, and is our duty to let them
know it and feel it. To the soldiers
of the World War in this district who
have not Joined the Legion, | wish to
say that it is their duty to enroll in
the American Legion, as only through
this organization can they be most
effective in accomplishing good for
themselves an dtheir community. l
wish to add that am acquainted with
the work of the local organization,
and feel that l cannot say too much
| for their patriotism and spirit of SER
vices. There is no way in which you
can show your interest or in which
you can better inform yourself than
to see these pictures.

MARIETTA VOTES
ADDITIONAL TAX
TO PAY OLD DEBT
Citizens Favor Plan BY More Than
Two to One Shown By Elec-
tion Held Yesterday.

The citizens of Marietta went to
the polls yesterday and voted by a
majority of more than two to one
for an additional tax to pay off the
old Indebtedness of $38. 900 to the
First National Bank, of Boston, which
has been hanging over the city for
several years.
The bill drawn for the additional
tax provides that the tax cannot be
used for any other purpose than paw
ing the debt and that the tax will
cease at the time the debt is retired
Voting was not heavy on account
of little activity by those for the bill
and by those opposing the bill. -Four
hundred and eight votes were cast
284 for the additional tax and 1924
against it. The tax will cover a per
lod Of nine years at which time the
judgment in favor of the First Ma.
tional Bank, of Boston, will have been
retired.
In voting this additional tax the
citizens of Marietta have placed the
citys finances in the best condition
they have been in for years With
careful and businesslike administra-
ton the city should have a prosper.
Gus and progressive future lust
ahead.
1t is understood that the new lew
will be made this year to retire one
of the notes held by the Boston bank

PRINCE OF WALES
IN MASONIC LODGE
Future King of England to Be Officer
in Grand Lodge.

Washington, Sept. q. Capital
News Service Masonic officers of
the Nations Capital express much
Ratification that the future head Of
the British Empire should find time
in his busy life not only to attend his
Masonic lodge, but to become active
in it's councils.
Lord Ampthill of the Grand Lodge
Of England, has announced that the
Grand Master, the Duke Of Connaught
had appointed the Prince Of Wales
to be Senior Grand Warden for the
coming Masonic year.
The first Prince of Wales to become
a Mason was Frederick, son Of George
II, and father Of George III, who was
admitted to the craft on November
IS, 1887, at "an occasional lodge, held
at the Prince of Wales's palace at
Kew. near Richmond"
The Dukes of York and Gloucester
were initiated in 1866 and the Duke
of Cumberland the year after. all
three then being given the brevet
rank Of Past Grand Master.
The Prince Of Wales was chosen
Grand Master in succession to his
uncle in 1890, and held the position
until 1913, when the place was given
to his brother, the Duke Of Sussex.

METHODIST CHRISTIAN
EDUCATIONAL MOVE
MENT is Being PUSHED

While in Atlanta Monday | dropped
in to see DIR. Elan f. Dempsey-as
usual he was hard at work.
However, at this time he is making
a special effort towards cleanup"
week for the Christian Educational
movement.
DR.. Dempsey is the Christian Edu-
cational secretary for the North Geor-
gia conference.
The last week in September is the
cleanup" week, and the first Sun
day in October is Cleanup Sunday.
Everyone who has pledged to this
Movement shmould pay up their
pledge, and if there are any Method
lists who have not pledged or paid
anything should do so during clean
up week.
Thirty-one thousand Methodists in
Georgia have pledged one and one
half million dollars; three hundred
thousand dollars due to ate; one hun
red and fifty dollars Of this amount
has been paid. When we think of
the needs in our own section, / don't
see how any Methodist could but
want to do their part.
Reinhardt has opened with not
enough dormitory space to accomo-
date the boys. All one has to do is
to make a visit to Waleska. and see
the great needs of this college, and
the wonderful work they are doing
for the boys and girls who are not
able to go to the higher priced col
leges.
Young Harris would now have
more than four hundred students
than she has if she but had the DORM
tory space to accommodate them.
These boys and girls are not ask
ing for up-to-date Accommodations
but anything that would help them
through college. Many of these
young people come to school without
money to pay their expenses. They
would willing work their way through
but there isn't enough work for all
who want it. They need the loans
this year more than ever before.
Let US do our part to help them
through school.
Many of the leaders Of our con-
ference today received their educa-
ton through the help of loans.
! Now that we are in better condi-
tion financially than we thought we
would be when we made the pledges,
let US pull together, make our prom
! ises good-Pay our pledges and stand
behind our schools.
