SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

The New York World, discussing the 100000 900
gold brick which the gullible part of the public
bought for itself in 1923, explains the motive back
of this weakness for fake investments in waythat
ought to help some potential victims to escape the
fate they have been approaching Says the World
1.-THE desire of the human race is to get something
for nothing, to get rich quick, to win place among
the elect who do not have to work, by some seight-
of-hand applied to finance
Different persons seek to do this in different ways.
Some, explains the World, pick pockets some rob
banks second stories and railroads; some lie back
and dream in the fashion of the storyteller who in
vented the Arabian Nights; some print fake stock
and sell it some buy this fake stock in the hope of
banana returns.
Probably very few Of the shorn sheep who have
lost their savings in some such way would care to
be classed along with bank robbers and fake promo
tiers. They do not deserve to be called criminals.
They may not even be fundamentally lazy. But
certainly they have let themselves be led asray by
the same false reasoning which leads the robber
and pickpocket to seek financial reward without con
sructive service of any sort and without honestly
earning it.

On Wednesday night, June 18th, the Marietta
Chamber Of Commerce will hold its first annual
meeting since its installation. The men who have
served as directors during the past year will make
a report to the membership and general summing
up Of what the organization has done will be Of in
teres to every citizen of Marietta and of special in
terest to those who have memberships
No doubt that Marietta has made many
forward strides during the past year Much has
been accomplished and there still remains many i'm
portant things that should be done in the coming
year if the town is to grow and prosper in proper
ton to the ability of the community
A number of men have given their time to the
management of the affairs of the Chamber of Com
merce without pay, the community welfare and the
pride they had in their town and county and the
fact that their fellow citizens honored them by pac-
ing them at the head of the organization was the
only recompense they received for their service
Most of them have served efficiently and we'll as
If they had been paid to do They are due the
thanks of the entire community
The real work of the Chamber of Commerce has
just started During the next two or three years
bigger problems than ever in the past will come be-
fore the people of this community and it will tax the
efforts of a well organized body to keep pace with
progress Marietta will have to lag behind and get
back in the old rut
Every member of the Chamber of Commerce
should be out at the meeting June 18th and find out
first hand what has been done and pledge his or her
cooperation for future activities in Marietta

Is THERE ANYTHING MORE PERSISTENT

We have heard of the persistent book agent, whom
you had to dismiss by force; the persistent taker
who insisted on telling you every detail about how
he lost and recovered dime or million dollars
(whcheyer notion struck him) and the persistent
young lover woong the hand of maiden, but did
you ever hear of anything persistent the mil
lion odd martins that insist that they roost in the
trees in the city park The city officials say No.
They have shot them with shot guns, rifles, pistols
Roman candles, soaked them with water at high
pressure from the fire hose, frightened them by plac
ing bells in the sand ringing them and display
ing "scarecrows' in the tops of the trees, but the
martins are with us yet. If their persistency can be
taken as an indication of how nice place Marietta
is to live in we better build thousand room hotel
with plans for annexes.

A COUNTY FAIR WOULD BE GREAT PROJECT

One of the best things that be done for the
agricultural interests Of Cobb county is to establish
county product fair where the farmers can bring
in their choice crops and exhibit them in competa-
tive way and learn from each other the best methods
of raising prize products.
Plans now under way for a beginning of such
fair next fall County Agent Vansant is cooper
atng with the farmers and calling on the merchants
for funds to create prizes This matter should have
the serious consideration of all the progressive ci
zens of the county. By next year a fair ground
could be found and county fair on a large scale
would be mighty good thing.
1t takes money, of course, to conduct a county
fair but there hundreds of progressive people in
the county who would support project of this kind
and make it go from the beginning What do you
say about big county fair in 1925?

Concerning
Raber Choir
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN


Many contributions are being made
by various organizations Of this city
during National Music week.
l have been to so many concerts
and meetings this week that I ann
beginning to feel like solo (so-low)
myself.
But in this mad rush from one con-
cert to another l am going to recall
with pleasure the concert given on
Wednesday night by the Raper Com
mandery Choir at the Masonic Temple.
There are several reasons why this
concert was a success. George w.
Kadel, the director. did not attempt
to stage a recital Of great length. He
arranged. program which would not
only present the choir to splendid
advantage, but also introduced solo
lists for the purpose Of variety.
There is an art in arranging a pro-
gram. The trouble of so many pro-
grams is that too many numbers are
included. Not so with Kadel and the
choir
This is the first time that I have
seen Kadel direct. This man has
worked several years to achieve the
position he holds in musical circles.
He has great energy, so much so that
he found time to aid Raper Comman-
derry to perfect a fine singing organi-
cation.
The numbers that I liked best Of
the choir were "Duna," I'm Gwine
to Sing in the Heavenly Choir" and
Sunset"
The soloists were Miss Mary Merker
and Mrs. Glenn Friermood Both are
talented singers
Berta Miller Ruick accompanied the
soloists. Clarence Carson was choir
accompanist.

week is the concert to be given to-
night by the MendeIssohn Choir at

ton. The Democrats insist that only
$1,000 shall be granted this special re-
duction, while Republicans have in
dorsed a reduction up to $4,000.
Democratic opposition to the higher
sum grows out Of the fact that where
as a man with a 5000 income would
save only $50 because of the special
reduction, the man with a million dol
lar income would save over eight
times as much, or S747.10. This dis
