. MHBWg LETTER FROM DOOLY COUNTY BOY AT SEA MARION KELLY WRITES INTER ESTINGLY OF JOURNEY OVER TO FRANCE. . / Letter* from our boy* in the serv- ice are always of interest to the folks on this side. The following was writ ten by Lieut. Marlon Kelly to hi* homefolko at Unadilla, while aboard a transport en route to France. It seoms a* though all my life I have been on this vessel. It goes without saying that I have passed ov- . er much water lately and we are still a number.of days out of port. Some how or other I haven't felt In a writ ing humor lately. It was with ming led feelings that I pulled out of the harbor. As I said to an engineer Lieutenant standing by me, "Well this is the beginning of the great ad venture.” It was all very dramatic. The ferry boats we passed cheered us and everybody waved their hats and handkerchiefs. The people in the north and edst are more demoiistra tive and seem to be behind patriotic things more than the people of the south. But It isn’t fair to compare them because I have not been in tho south lately. The old Statue of Liberty stood out very conspicuously and seemed to be giving us her benediction as we passed out. I could not help but think that this wonderful body of men, this col lection of men and ships wero going to show the donor of that statue that w« really believed in the principles for which she stands and that the debt whs going to be paid. We have a bunch of negroes on this ship and they make things very lively every evening at the hour between dinner and the lighting of the smok ing lamps or rather the prohibition of ■noldng on the decks, the negroes sing, dance, box and have a good time generally. We are very comfortably situated, the meals are good and everything is all right except the air is bad in our staterooms at night, caused by all the port holes being closed. Every open- ing Is closed at night so there can’t bo any possibility of a light showing. We sleep, eat, read, playcheckers, sit on the deck and watch the other ships. The other dr.y ye had a genuine submarine scare, the bells rang, the bugles blew and ships siren also blew. Everyone rushed to their station Without confusion, But many funny stories are prevalent as to how the negroes took it. One negro rushelng furiously snd blindly fos the hatch- wsy ran into a mirror, seeing himself he said, “Say boss, how is the. quick est way out of hero.” Some of them cried, poor fellows, they were so scared. The last two days we had some pretty rough weather, occasion ally the front of the ship was covered with spray. The ship rolled,, lurch ed and pitched quite badly at times. But since we have been favored with ideal culm /weather, the first few days which gave everyone a chance to find h|s aea legs, the number who are sea sick is relatively small. At each meal we check up to aco who has fall en out Honestly, I have not even felt badly, I am beginning to believe I .am quite a good sailor. But I must lok out, “A haughty spirit before 3 fall." One negro says ho don’t wsnt never to make but one more sea trip and that is back to Georgia. The fifst morning out anegro camo up and said, “We bin going all night and we in de same place we wus yestldy.” This is absolutely a male ship. W* have also two bby dogs and even the cat is a Tom cat. I don’t know the sex of the pet crow, but it is moro than an even bet that it is a male bird. We have a victrola and some three or four who play the piano well. And every night we have tho picture show, so we arc very well amused. Every day we get the news by radio and it is posted on the bulletin board. Doesn't it seem wonderful that although in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, we have cream in our coffee, grape fruit, lettuce, ice, butter, daily paper, mu- sue and picturcshows. Man is a clev er unimal at that, eh.’ I thinlc of you all the time and as you say'I didn’t say half what I wnted to when nt home. Oh well, we will have a regular party later on eh. Very best lav* to each. Affectionately, MARION. MR. FARMER Listen to reason. Don't gin wet cotton. Mr. Ginner, don’t try it. There is $30,000 worth of cotton ruined in the last week by careless ness. I know you need the money but wait and ry your cotton. You can’t carry your cotton from the Held to the gin as in other years. Respectfully, ®-«-«t D. B. THOMPSON.

By burning wood Georgians moat Sava two million tone of coal this win ter In order that our rapidly growing war induatriea may be fully supplied. Tbe governmenut used fifty million tons last year In its war activities, but this year it will seed approximate ly one hundred and fifty million tons. It Is almost impossible for the mlnea to greatly Inoreaae their output in view of the serious shortage of labor, and hence all of the extra coal that |s needed by tbe government must be saved by tbe people. Georgia's share |n the saving ia t.Mt.tOO tons. Coal hi tbs very basis of tbe activi ties of our armies, There.is not n Single war commodity or activity that Is not dependant on coal, that has not directly or Indirectly the pow er of cost somewhere In its produqtlon. It takes coal to operate munition plants, more troops by rail, propel transport ships, keep our navy guard, snd then move food, soldiers and munitions to tbs front Coal ia tbe fuel best adapted to war purposes. When we burn wood, w* not only re lease coal for war purposes but wa relieve the congestion of the railroad a, clearing the trucks that men and sup plies may more more rapidly towards tbs front Tbe relative bent value of wood to coal la much higher than la ordinari ly thought One cord of aaasoned ash, oak or hickory Is equlvalant to one ton of soft coal. The foal value do- amuses with pine, cypress snd cotton- wood, and with tho amount of season- 10* Our wood supply In Georgia is lagge enough to supply all our needs, annual growth of cord wood ly exceeds Urn annual oonanmp- and this will stJR hold true If wood entirely replaced coal for homo use. If every family la Georgia would reduce its consumption of coal by fif ty par cent the amount aaked of us by the Government could be easily saved. Many families In tbe rural dis tricts will find It possible to entirely replace coal with wood. In every case coal must be used economically. The Federal Fuel Administration will en deavor to distribute wbat little coal that will be allowed for this state, to only tho largest cities that need It worst and tq tbosa industrial plants ■nanufactarfng products essential to tbe war. Farmers wbo bars cut larger sup plies of wood than they need, should get in touch with their county agents and local fuel administrators. These man are cooperating and an ready to assist fanners in marketing their wood. It is not yet too Into to cut a good supply of cord wood. Those who wish to harvest wood for fuel purposes and at the same time im prove their future stands of timber, should communicate with E. W. Had ley, extensloa forester, Georgia State College of Agriculture. Demonstra tions will be given ‘throughout the State on tbe proper methods of cut ting and thinning woodlands. Every one Is asked to help. The Fuel Administration points out that the best way Is to BurA Wood and Save Coal. AIDS IN PARCHMENT REAdInQ Camera Used Successfully In Preserv ing Old Writing Now Barely Discernible. Before the duys of books parchments became so costly that economical schol- nrs erased more or less perfectly wbat had been written end used them a sec ond Uuic. In this manner same blghly interesting and valuable manuscripts have been lost to the world, says New York Herald. But In many cooes the ancient characters are still visi ble. It was not long ago that photography was first successfully applied for this work. The color of the faded ink of the older writing on a palimpsest Is yellow, A photograph of such a man uscript was made through a yellow screen. The Jesuit was a negative on which tho old writing was barely dis cernible, being a little darker than the background, while the later black writing appeared distinctly as white letters. Next sn ordinary negative on n bro mide plate \vas made and from thta was produced n transparent positive on which both writings appeared dark and about equally distinct. Tben the trans parency was superposed on tbe first negative so that tbe dark letters of tbe later writing covered the light let ters, representing the same writing In tbe-negative. Tbay were thus elimi nated, being Indlsttngulshnbly merged with tbe general dark background pro duced by tbe combination of positive and negative. But the earlier charac ters, since they were dark In both cases, appeared In tbe combination In tensely black end distinct.
