NATIONAL SECtmirr LEAGUE,
I Governor Dorsey writes me that he
was requested to name three delegates
to attend a conference of the National
I Security league, which will assemble
• in Chicago at La Salle hotel on Febru
ary 21, to continue its sessions, through
to the 23d. He was kind enough to
{appoint me to be one of the three.
{Three alternates were also appointed.
I I have no information as to the scope
jor authority of the National Security
I I presume it means an en
| deavor to protect, conserve and co-or
dinate every interest and opportunity of
the free institutions and constitutional
privileges of our government.
Some of the most noted men of this
nation have promised to address the
league, when the delegates arc assem
bled. that it will be an interesting oc
casion we may confidently anticipate.
A moment’s reflection will convince
even a casual reader that this world
war. in which the United States bears
a large part, demands a very distinct
and emphatic avowal of what we stand
for in government at home as well as
abroad. Our international relations are
serious and are bound to be perplexing
after the war, and the necessity is now
upon us to secure, beyond peradventure,
these nation’s fundamental or basic
principles. It would be folly supreme
to imperil one of our national definers
in either state or national legislation.
General Washington, in his farewell
address, uses the following language:
"The independence and liberty you
possess are the work of Joint councils
and joint efforts of common dangers,
suffering and success.”—"To the effi
ciency and permancy of your union a
government of the whole is indispen
sable—Against the insidious wiles of
foreign influence I conjure you to be
lieve me, fellow citizens, the jealousy
I of a free people ought to be constantly
\ awake, since history and experience
prove that foreign influence is one of
i the most baleful foes of Republican
’ government." National security means
las much or more to us than national
defense. We understand that what we
hold is to be kept secure; can be main
tained securely—if it already properly
defended. What the future holds for
this nation has not yet been foretold.
Certainly patriots should understand
that nothing will be permanent that
cannot be accurately protected and wise
ly defended.
MRS, COBBA KARSTS AND WAA IN
EUROPE
The members of the state and county
council of national defense met in the
clubrooms at Cartersville to hear Mrs.
Coma Harris, the southern novelist and
writer, tell of her visit to Kngland,
France and Belgium in the autumn of
1914, when the world’s war was young.
She reached London on September 2
and left France late in November.
She said, among many other interest
ing things, that England was not tak
ing the war seriously at the start.
They were like the majority of Ameri
cans just now. ignorant of the im
mensity of the undertaking. Lord
Kitchener could not wake them up. She
heard somebody say, “that London
would wake up if an airplane went over
them."
(We recolleect the German army
overran France in 1870.) She men
tioned meeting an old lady, poorly
dressed, with a market basket on her
arm. who needed all she had to live
on. But she bought a piece of red flan
nel and put the package in her basket,
and was about to trudge along, when
she was asked why she invested in
flannel, as the weather was not severe.
”1 bought it to make into a shirt for
some French soldier.” Mrs. Harris said
tie French soldiers had each a red flan
shirt and they had red breeches (at
:.at time), and when they took their
oats off they were red all over.
She says there is no doubt but the
French are more devoted to their coun
try than any of the allies.
The battle of the Marne was being
fought while she was in Europe. There
, was unpreparedness to the limit in
England. They had to learn war after
they were thrust into war. As Ameri
cans failed to learn war until they were
thrust into war. a year ago. Mrs. Har
ris is an expressive speaker, and the
clubroom was filled with an apprecia
tive audience, men and women.
A Very Interesting Letter from Culm
San Claudio, Cuba. Jan. 30. 1218.
Mrs. W. Fl. Felton,
Cartersville, Ga.
Dear Madam: I've been interested in
reading the items in your section of
The Journal, even if I am of the male
sex.
A lady asks in yours of January 15,
relative to cheaper desserts, so I give
the following experiments and experi
ences. which may be helpful to some
that need to be economical as well as
ourtselves.
We have been for several years con
ducting an industrial mission school on
the self-sustaining basis for the benefit
of the natives. And as we often find
it “nip and tuck” how to make ends
meet, we find it true that “necessity is
the mother of discovery and invention. '*
for we must contrive the most economi
cal ways to meet our expenses.
Especially since the added cost of
living by war prices and scarcity of
some things through the conservation
acts, we have had our ingenuity taxed
at times to meet the actual needs, to
say nothing of luxuries.
All this is a good schooling, for we
American people, who, as a rule, have
had so plentiful that we have be
come more extravagant and wasteful,
and we read that the sin of Sodum was
“idleness and fullness of bread.” Hence,
what we. as a people, would not learn
in times of peace and plenty, we must
learn through the stormy conditions of
war and scarcity.
We have been living as largely as
possible from our garden; having dis
covered that even the new. tender leaves
of the sweet potato make good greens,
much like spinach.
My wife desired some extra desserts
for <?hristmas and New Year. Rut we
could get neither wheat flour nor sugar
So we ground some rice on our kitchen
hand-grist mill and substituted it for
the flour and used “blackstrap” cane
molasses instead of sugar. We bought
some dried figs and nuts and put them
through the food chopper, and these in
gredients. with one egg and proper pro-;
portion of salt, cinnamon and soda !tnd
water, made us two nice fruit cakes I
about sxlo inches in sixe. And they
were very palatable and cheaper anil
more digestible, too. than the ordinary
fruit cakes.
And for pies. without pastry, she
simply oiled her pie pans and placed
over dry corn meal one-eighth-inch
• hick and put in the semi-fluid tilling
for squash and lemon pies and baked..
They were nice, more wholesome and I
cost less labor and material in the way I
of fat.
Much cheaper milk in the tropics and|
our port cities of the states can be had j
from the cocoanuA. rather than using i
condensed milk. We get them at 7 ho 1
9 cents each. Put through food chop-]
per, pour over the pulp from one about i
a quart of tepid water, and wjish and
squeeze out the milk, which is nice
over cereals or to season vegetables Just
before serving them. Tse the pulp as
dessicated cocoanut.
Slncerelv yours for the best method
of Dvtug. a H. CARNAHAN.

xMiar Children: *
This week we are going to talk about your letters —surely you are
improving and we want to keep the good work up. Now jt does not matter
a bit to me the kind of paper you have to use, a piece, of brown wrapping
paper can be made as ne.it as a pin. but for your own sake and mine don’t
be careless: try to see just how neat you <an make your letters; also use
care in sealing your envelopes some of the letters come stuck Jo the
envelopes and besides looking “mussy” are often responsible for a torn
letter. Try to put your thoughts into not more than 150 words—that
gives everybody a better chance of getting in—-and above all remember
not to write on both sides of a sheet of paper. I know I have said that,
often, still some of you either fail to read or forget. No letters will be
published unless signed with the correct name of the writer and the
address given. The reason for our Letter Box is that we may know
each other.
This brings me to something else I have had in mind for some
time. Next week I believe we will call our ‘‘introduction week, and we
will publish quite a list of cousins with their addresses. Then as we
have the space we can publish their letters, or better still, another letter
of theirs with some later thoughts and suggestions. We will in that way
be able to correspond either through the paper or by letter with so many
more cousins. Don't you think that will be a good idea?
Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia: May I come again to chat
, awhile with the cousins? Say, cousins, isn't
the letter box progressing nicely? I ntiink so.
Please move over and give me a seat by Ber
nice Beaty, as I think her letters are just fine.
Well, I will close with a poem:
If I had but the voice to reach
The German soldiers on the field.
Would tell them they would save their homes
.And lives if they would only yield.
If they would only call for peace.
Demand democracy as well.
Then it would give them sweet release.
And stop tb* kaiser’s horrid bell.
'Twotild give them freedom, one and all:
'Twould give them back their homes again.
And make them free from kaiser's call.
IV>r war would never come again.
Oli. German soldiers, now arise.
Shako off your yoke of tyranny:
Demand your freedom ’ncath the skies.
Ami evermore your liberty.
Aunt Julia: If Mr. Wastebasket comes in,
just give him a box on the ear. Well, good-by.

Dear Aunt Julia: TTie Atlanta Journal comes
as far north as Jamestown, N. Y., and we
many cousins take great delight in reading the
many letters of the cousins addressed to you.
In the January Bth number a letter from Cousin
Lucy Martin, of Alabama, asked to hear some
of the cousins from the northern states. So
we comply with her request.
We have had a long, severe winter, and the
scarcity of coal and wood has made it the
worst in many years.
This is a dairy country; 12,000 cows are kept
in the country. Butter, cheese, cream and
milk are sent the large cities of New York
and Philadelphia. There are milk condensers
over the county; milk nnow brings $3.40 a hun
dred pounds.
We raise cattle and horses. Apples ami all
fruits in abundance. This is a good grass and
hay county, two to three tons to the acre, and
Irish potatoes. 280 bushels to the acre. We
keep 48 cows. t> horses and 24 swine.
We were in Florida at St. Augustine, on our
way back stopped several days at Macon and
attended the Chautauqua assembly that was in
session, which was veryt interesting and in
structive. This was in March. The great
mother assembly is located in this, Chautauqua
county, N. Y„ near here and which we attend <
every Tear, where we meet many southern peo
ple from Georgia, all the southern states. We 1
stopped several days in Atlanta, a beautiful

Hope to meet our highly esteemed and vener- I

wiqely known throughout the whole country.
I have three cousins in the army, tbev are i

Montgomery, Ala. Our grandfathers both north
and south, were in the war of the states in
opposing armies. Now their grandsons are in
the same side fighting for the liberty of the

Dear Aunt Julia end Cousins: Will you let

Dear Aunt Jnlia: As I wrote a letter to your
box several months ago and never appeared in
the paper I've picked up enough courage to
try again. I live near the line between Hart
and Elbert counties, but am so fortunate as to
be in Hart county. Bowman. Ga., is our near
est town, only 2(4 miles, but we get our mail
from Royston, which is about eight miles from
here. This is a beautiful country. Rolling
land, with scarcely any woodland at all. Wc
raise cotton, corn and grains. We have good
schools and churches. Hartwell is the county
seat. We have a county fair every year. I
belonged to the Canning club last year filled
500 No. 2 cans and lots to rot. Have sold only
3 1 .- dozens cans; received 14 7-12 cents for
them. Haven't tried to sell any more, as I
think I can get more for them later in the
spring. My expenses were about 825. I think
1 shall use my profit in educating inyself, as 1
want to go to Piedmont college, Demorest, Ga..
ti.is fall. It has always been my desire to
become a teacher, and I still stand out to my
werd. I'm attending a country school this
year and taking the eighth grade work. How
many of you like I surely do not. My
teueher is Mr. William A. Moss. He is fine.
I don't care to describe myself, as I think
this very silly. Let's "try" to write some
thing worth while. My birthday is April 29.
I'U be eighteen. Will be glad to get a letter
from anv of the cousins. Think I shall write
to Sarah Foster, as I like her letter! so much.
Let’s all try to write good ones like she did.
Kind regards. ORIE NELMS.
Royston, Ga.. R. 2.
P. B. I like Marian Brantley's and Robert
Ward's letters, too.
