Next week is Fair Week, and every man, woman and child in Bartow coun ty should give the Fair hearty co-oper ation and active support and by all means attend as many days as possi l) e. The county fair is designed to be, and is, in fact, one of the most effec tive institutious toward the building uj; of the agricultural, mineral and commercial interests of this county. It furnishes incentive and inspires am bition to do greater and better things. It has advertised this county as no ether one thing has. Each county fair has been witnessed by hundreds of strangers who go away with high praise of what they have seen. It is a meeting place for the people o r the county; neighbors, friends and relatives find it a place where com munication can be had under most pleasant and favorable conditions. Everyone should encourage the Pair There are the boys and girls who have accomplished much along agricultural lines and in domestic science. The school children furnish evidence of their progress along educational lines. We certainly owe them the duty to manifest an interest in their work and this can best be done by patronizing the Fair and passing judgment upon their displays. Many more women in Bartow county have done canning, preserving and engaged in many other occupations this year toward conserving and util izing the products of the season, and this work should be viewed by all others and the lesson brought home to each and every one. This can best be done by attending the Fair. Farmers have more generally en gaged in a varied production of crops iliis year than ever before. It is time ly because, in the first place, diversity L needed. We should grow enough of products than cotton to maintain our selves. The soil needs rotation and versatility of growth. And, lastly, the boll weevil's near approach to this county makes it encumbent upon us to learn how to grow many crops and to make our lands yield abundant ly of the things that must be planted. We need to be shown these facts, arid this can best be done by attending the Fair apd seeing what already has been done. Our mineral production has beep marvelously great this year. The wealth of the county has been greatly increased. Labor has been given ac tive employment. Merchants and bank ers have each received their benefits. We do not know the wonderful wealth of our county. We need to learn the fact that an immense amount of un developed wealth lies beneath the sur face of the hill country and other portions of this county. This can best be done by attending the Fair and thereby witness what an unusually large number of minerals can be pro fitably mined and produced in this county. There is vet the entertaining value of the Fair. This is worth while. We all need recreation. We need to get out of ourselves and into association with each other and with the strang ers that come within the gates of the Fair. We need to be amused and to participate in pleasures that are fur nished in abundance at the County Fair. Take a week of recreation, of rest, or -enjoyment, and this can best be dune by attending the Fair. The Fair represents the citizenship and productive energy of our people. We should view it with pride,—with laudable pride. We should consider it as our very own Every citizen .should manifest an interest in the progress of his neighbors, his town and his coun ty, and right now this can best be done by attending the County Fair. Alt the people of the county should be present at the opening of the fair on next Tuesday where an inspiring sight will take place when thousands S* school children of the county will march to the fair grounds and there take charge. Come and see them and enjoy the day. It costs them nothing and it will be worth all that you have to pay in what you see and feel. Th QutnkM That Baaa Not Attoct tha Haad Btciuse of it* tonic (fleet.

REDUCED MORTALITY IN ARMY. Mr. Editor: It will be of considerable interest to the fathers and mothers whose sons have either volunteered or been draft ed into the army to study the report of recent French causalties published by M. Andre Taidieu, the French High Commissioner to the Foiled States. In this it is stated that for the last six months casualties numbered a little more than one i>er cent of those under arms, or about 12 per thousand and this includes some of the heaviest and fiercest fighting of the war and in cludes all those killed, captured and missing. Concerning those wounded, he gives no figures, but it is estimated that from 80 to 90 per cent of those wounded get back into gervice. Heretofore in all wars death from disease has taken away eight to ten times as many men as were killed and lost in battle, but with modern treat ments and methods of prevention, this is reduced to a lower rate than those al home and need not be taken into account. Dr Richard T. Ely states that the mortality on American railways is greater than that of the soldiers in the civil war and taking the figures referred to above, the loss in this present war is not as great as it was in the civil war. No father or mother would worry very much about their son taking a job on a train, and yet the cold facts show that they stand in just as much danger, as those who go to Europe. I write this hoping it may dispel some of the horror the parents have on account of their sons being drafted. W. C. HENSON. BERRY SCHOOL SOLDIER.

On Active Service With the Ameri can Expenditionary Force, Sept. 3, I!l7.—Mr. C. M. Lee, Dear Teacher and Friend:. I am thinking of the past tonight, so I decid ed to write you a note. We are very near the firing line in France; we can hear the guns and see the dead and wounded pass. The .prisoners are also brought by in droves. I guess you read of the submarine attack we had on the way over. We kept seeing lights all the afternoon. This w r as reported to the convoy. A larger w'atch was kept, and about 10:30 we were attacked. At least two submarines fired on us. one upon the bow, the other upon the stern. This caused the big guns on board to speak. The submarines were either sunk or beat a hasty retreat for thev disap peared immediately. The weather has already begun to get cool. The Frenchmen say that it snows three or four feet here in win ter, and all the streams freeze over. I am glad to say that we have a live Y. M. C. A. here. While it is not like the States, we enjoy it very much. 1 hope to hear from you real soon. 1 beg to remain. Your friend. (Signed) JOHN T. MONTGOMERY, 67 Company; 1 Battalion., sth Regiment, U. S. M.

N Editor Bartow Tribune: Having noticed in your issue of Sep tember 20th, 1917 an advertisement of a very distinguished member of the C’artersville bar, and in a most unus ualmanner, 1 think it but fair and just that a reply should be made. It is true that the subject matter of tlie ease of Knight against Northey is a one log wasehr of little value, but the principles involved in the suit are great, hence the reason for my.paying a large bill of cost and employing able counsel to represent me in the prose cution of my rights oi property. In the trial of this “celebrated case’* on the possessory warrant proceeding before the late Hon A. At. Puckett, than whom there was no better man in Georgia, there was little or no evi dence tending to disprove the fact '.hat 'he pioperty in question belongs to me, not withstanding the fact that the same witnesses for Mr. Northey testi fied there as upon the trover suit th the City Court. On both trials of ilie case I proved by witnesses numbered among the best men in the county that the property in question was purchas ed by Capt J. J. Calhoun from Col. C. AS, Jones some twenty-five (25) years ago while Calhoun, Barron, and l were together in the mining busi ness. That upon Capt. Calhoun's re tiring Barron and 1 purchased hhs la- THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CART ERSVILLE NEWS, OCT. 4, 1917. terest, and later that I purchased the interest of Barron and the property became my own, which is the truth of the whole matter. The property being awarded to me upon the hearing of the possessory warrant I made bond as required by I th< terms of the statute to take io -1 session thereof and loan the washer to my opponent at his request think irg the matter settled as suggested by his counsel, but upon the affidavit of counsel for Mr. Northey the trover suit was instituted in the City Court. Considering the matter in light of the ft.fits we went to trial, not thinking that the evidence for .Mr. Northey would be different from what it was in the Justice Court, anti consequently not being prepared to meet a wholly different state of facts as presented by the evidence for Mr. Northey. But upon the hearing of the motion for anew trial I did produce affidavits from among the best citizens of the county that the property in question it mine, the witnesses identifying it as the same property purchased by Capt. Calhoun from Col. Jones as above stated. But the trial Judge taking the position that I might have known of this evidence before the trial over ruled my motion and through legal technicalities I have lost the case, but the property in question is mine and my opponent knows it. But if the giant laywer who opposed me and his client can get any consola tion out of the fact that through a mis representation of facts they have de prived me of my property, they are welcome to whatever benefit they may enjoy, as I am able, both to lose the property and the money spent and am content with the fact that the property in question still belongs to me. J. M. KNIGHT LETTER FROM TRAINING SCHOOL. Dear Homefolks: Amid the thrilling scenes of busy military activities my thoughts have been turned to the people of clear old Bartow, my home county'. So i am writing these few lines feeling seme that this county so noted for true pa triotism is always anxious to hear fu>m her sons who have enlisted in their country’s service. There were 185 of us who lett At lanta for Newport, R. 1., on August 38 at noon. We were all from the south, the greater number being from Georgia, Alabama and Florida. It was indeed a g'and trip; going on a special train we only made a few stops and enjoyed all O’ the comforts of modern travel. We passed through the following cities: Richmond, Washington, Phila delphia, Baltimore, Jersey City and New York City. As we passed through these great cities of our republic we were greeted with cheers and waves Bom a vast multitude of citizens. Reaching New York on the after noon of August 29. took ship at 1:30 p. m. for Newport, which i- a dis tance of 160 miles. The “Common Wealth” landed us safely across the Atlantic, reaching Newi>ort, at two a. in., August 30 where we cast our lot with 14,000 of Uncle Sam’s sailors. Newport has a population of 23,000 and is a beautiful historical city sit uated on the Atlantic, it is far famed as summer resort for the wealthy. Heie are such palatial homes as E. D. Morgan, along the ocean drive, C. Ogden Jones. J. R. Drexei. T. Pearson, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, M. J. Petty, Commodore James, Dr. Jacobs, Castle of Ex-governor (’has. W. Lippitts, Mrs. O H. P. Belmont, and the grand ■Mar ine Palace.” Here as such scenes as the Old Stone Mill and its charming monu ments, Clift Wall. Newport Beach, and iest but none the less famous. War C dlege, Naval Training Station and drill ground. Upon arriving we were required to take a thorough bath and’ have our hair out very close; fortunately mine was already cur to meet their require ment. The typhoid and small pox treat ment was then administered to us. After which we received osrr allotment of clothing. We drill six hours each du\, retire at nine p. m.. and if a fellow is heard talking after rliis hour lie is given a light, tap on the head. At five a. nr a bugle sounds a reveille to arouse our s’number. Then we must have bath, hair combed and all of oar toilet eiean and neat before marching to break fast . Some of the boys find it especially hard to be ready. Occasionally some of them present a badly bruised face from having fallen out of their ham mocks during the night. I am about the only one of my company that has not shared this fate. The secret is 1 always stretch my hammock nood and keep stttt. We have three bountiful meals each day, consisting of beans, i>otatoes. beef, ham, rice, grits, coffee, tea, and always have fruits, usually oranges. When weather is favorable we eat cn the concrete wall between water and drill ground, and when raining cur meals are served in the drill hall. While on guard duty I saw the im- ir.ense quantity of food for breakfast placed in the mess ball for the entire 14,000 men, and it was a sight to be hold. There is no telling how much this little island is cosiing the government. 1 am very fond of military tactics, aid have tried to use the opportunity afforded me. My health is fine. Hoth* climate and work agree with me. Have rot missed a meal nor a drill since I C ; nie Have not had any trouble with the officers nor privates. We have a fine set of officers, and taken /as a whole the sailors are far above the everage. The rules and regulations governing u> are rigid, though it takes strict dis cipline to manage so many men. Some of the boys have come up “broke” and been caught stealing and are now in prison. Some are so con stituted that they enjoy “bumming” on any who will carry the load. Asa rule the t boys resend cheer fully to a worthy cause. A few days age one of our boys received a mes sage of the dying condition of his wife and he had no money; so we boys chipped in and made up $78.00, which vas S3O over his railroad fare. We felt that this was real charity. One of the most inspiring sights that I ever saw is 14,000 sailors dress ed in white drilling on the hili which is covered with green grass. “Old Glory,” "which is the symbol of the nation's i>ower and emblem of her free dom," waves in the breeze and the band furnishes patriotic music. When through drilling this vast company of men line up and sidg such songs as have stirred the <fuls of men in the past ages of the world’s history. The southern boys are especially fond of “Dixie.’' They have brought with them all of the tradition and characteristics that distinguished their fathers. The of Dixie” is still noted for its sticking and scrapping qualities. They bank on our stability and loyalty of purpose. The seventh company, of which I am a member, are from the sunny south, and is said by many of the of ficers to be the finest company on the island. Naturally we are proud of this compliment and think we can do won derful things. Spectators come from far and near to see us drill, though it takes some thing super excellent in the way of military spectacle to win the applause of the people of Newport, for they are accustomed to seeing all of the rare arts of military craft At night we can see the magnificent ships with their fine lights sailing on the Atlantic. These navigators of the great deep wave and cheer us as they pass. We are dismissed from Saturday at noon until Monday morning and en joy a splendid social time together. The Y. M. C. A. is opened to us at all times and we are requested to attend teligioiis services on Sunday. There are also places of amusement, such as moving picture shows twice a week, and games and sitoris of all kinds. Have recently received a box of cakes from home and Frank Jolly and Charence Shaw, of Bartow county, have shared it with me. As to my part, I am ji*-t as happy as a Georgia boy could be so far away front home and loved ones; and fee! that it is a privilege to be counted it: this noble group of men, who are pro paring to stand in defense of cur great nation. My motto is to, “render the best service to my country possible.” Trusting that when it is all over it may be my pleasure through the mer cies of a kind and all wise Providence to return safely to a people whom l have served faithfully, reflecting cred it upon (fear old Bartow and the cause.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR Make This Beauty Lotion For a Few Cents and See For Yourself. What girl or woman hasn’t heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to whiten the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty?

Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard while, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, ,then this lotion will re main pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen the skin. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons. — fadivt.) FOR SALE —Cabinet organ, in good condition, at one-half its value.
