SMITH-HUGHES HIND
Special Laboratory Planned
To Take Care Of Special
Departments.
The Bartow Rural High School has
received notification that it has been
designated as one of the few schools
in Georgia which meets the require
ments which entitle it to participate
in the Smith-Hughes fund for voca
tional training. The school will par
ticipate in the fund to the amount of
.even hundred dollars this year, and
each succeeding year, with an equal if
not larger sum so long as the standard
of excellence is maintained.
plans are now under way for equipp
ing a splendid laboratory to take care
the work in Physics, Chemistry and
Biology, and at the same time the de
laitmerits of Woodwork and Domestic
science are to be enlarged to take
-are of the growing demands in these
iepartments of the school.
A model Ta#n is soon to be erected,
ind additional equipment for pig and
toultry raising will be provided. Poul
ry raising is to be continued in an
extensive manner. The farm will be
irovided with additional live stock.
This is intended to be a means of giv
ng the students first hand informa
ion in the care and feeding of fowls
ind animals.
The farm plots, already laid out and
‘eing used in testing seeds, varieties,
crtilization. preparation, and cultiva
ion. are to be under expert supervis
on for six months or more of the
ear. The work will be made to con
orm to that of the State College of
Viniculture, but with a view to mak
ng it serve the needs and demands of
his immediate section.
With additional equipment, expert
upervision and new interest and pat
onage the future of Hie school is sure,
he fact that it has l>een thus reqog
u'zed and aided by the authorities is
ery gratifying to the friends of the
ichool and those interested in better
'arming, broader thinking, and happier
ind more useful living.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
(TRIBUNE VOL 7, NO. 38)
CHEROKEE CLUB HOLDS
MEEJING TUESDAY
Recommendations Made
Regarding Xmas Giving
And Ga. Products Dinner
The Cherokee Club, one of the most
prominent of women’s clubs in Geor
gia, and particularly influential in Car
tersville and Bartow County, has de
cided, through its executive board, to
recommend to its members and to the
public generally, the abolition of in
discriminate giving of Christmas
presents this year and pending the
war, except exchange of gifts within
the family itself, and also to devote
the time to the Red Cross that would
be consumed in making Christmas
gifts of this character. This is in line
with the spirit of the women through
out the country to conserve and putj
to the best uses both their money and j
their time. In other words, the women!
of America have decided to economize 1
in the kitchen, throughout the home,
and in all other respects, so that they
may be the better able to do their bit
to win this war.
No man in American life today is
getting to be better known than Her
bert Hoover. He is the head of the
American family and he has laid down
the law that we must all economize.
The women are obedient and seem not
to be disposed to make household ex
penses any heavier than possible.
Accordingly the club, through its
executive board, decided it to be ex
pedient to do away with exchange of
gifts between friends, and has ap
pointed a committee to consider a
Georgia Products dinner to be given
at the Cherokee Club on Thanksgiving
Day, and to recommend that families
observe the day by having dinner at
the Cherokee Club, made up of Geor
gia products, instead of the usual elab
orate Thanksgiving Day dinners here
tofore furnished at the homes. This
dinner would be a comraunity affair;
would save a great deal of waste, as
well as effort; would set forth Georgia
products only, and would be a saving
of money to-’ all who join the enter
prise.
All told, the meeting of the Chero
jkee Club this week was an economy
affair and, all things considered, was
viewed from the standpoint of the
needs of the day and time.
L. F. SHI 8 SOUS CO.
PAY 30c FOH COTTON
Cotton brought 30 cents in the
Cartersville market Thursday morn
ing. L. F. Shaw & Son--diompany
paid 30 cents a pound for two bales,
and thus became the first dealers in
this market to pay the -price, which
has been the mark set by a great
many farmers and producers, and
which has been one which has been
predicted as one which would be
reached some time during this season.
This is perhaps the first bale of cotton
sold in North Georgia for 30 cents
since the Civil War period, more than
50 years ago.
4. That the two paragraphs next
above, giving the names of the owners
stockholders, and secrity holders, if
any, contain not only the list of stock
holders and security holders as they
appear upon the books of the com
pany but also, in cases where the
stockholder or securiity holder ap
pears upon the books of the Compaq
as trustee or in any other fiduciary er
ja tion, the name of the person or
corporation for whom such trustee is
acting, is given; also that the said
fwo pa agraphs contain statements
embracing affiant's full knowledge
and belief as to the circumstances and
and conditions under which stockhold
ers and secrity holders who do not
api tear upon the ltooks of the com
pany as trustees, hold *tock a.id se-j
curities in a capacity other than that j
of a bona tide owner; and this affiant j
has no reason to believe that any :

BIC DRIVE MADE
FOB Y. M. C. A FUND
County Being Canvassed
For Support Of Army
Organization.
November 11-19 is being observed
throughout the United States as Y. M.
C. A. week. An effort is being made
to raise $35,000,000, which will all be
needed to finance the work until July
1 next. About three-fourths of this
amount will be used in work with our
own men in this country and over
seas, and the balance will be used in
the French, Russian and Italian ar
mies and the prison camps.
Colonel W. T. Townsend was ap
pointed chairman of the county work
several days ago, and, after a visit to
Atlanta last Friday, where he went to
attend a conference of other chair
men, he has been busily engaged in
getting the Batrow County campaign
ready to launch.
On Wednesday morning, at 10:30,
in response to a call from the chair
man, a number of business men met
in the City Hall, and at that time Mr.
John J. Wicker, Jr., Y. M. C. A. sec
retary from Camp Gordon, spoke on
the importance of the army Y. M. C.
A. work and the campaign now being
made. The meeting adjourned to the ]
Park Hotel, where 23 men met for j
dinner and to hear another address |
from Mr. Wicker. The latter address j
was specially informing and inspir
ing. Mr. Wicker speaks largely from
experience, as he has been in the army
work for about a year.
Pfeur teams, consisting of six men
each,’ had been previously appointed,
as follows: J. W. Knight, captain; P.
C. Flemister, J. T. Norris, H. W. How
ard, Will Weinmfcn and W. W. Daves.
Z. M. Jackson, captain; G. H. Aubrey,
A. B. Cunyus, J. J. Hill, W. J. Taylor
and W. A. Brown. F. E. Matthews,
captain; W. A. Dodd, J. P. Adair, W.
W. Young, P. F. Akin and Jessie Har
ris. C. C. Pittman, captain; L. W.
Reeves, A. J. Collins, J. N. Smith, M.
A. Bradley and J. F. Hammond.
Hundreds of cards, on which were
written the names of prospective giv
ers, were distributed to the workers.
The goal for Georgia is $500,000. and
the goal for Bartow County was set
at $5,000-.
The meeting adjourned again to
meet at 7:30 last night at the resi
dence of Mr. J. W. Knight. At that
j time a general conference and ex
j change of cards took place, and many
details were cleared away. The men
! constituting the - teams, with a few
members absent, started the subscrip
tions with an aggregate of $6lO. On
- Thursday morning the canvass began
j in earnest.
The above-mentioned men will work
the Cartersville district. Captains of
teams have been appointed in nearly
! all the districts of the county, and
some of these captains; have selected
their helpers. Prospective givers
have also been listed on cards for
, each district, and the cards are being
placed in the hands of the captains,
so that the entire county will be cov
lered.I ered.
Negroes should be asked to give,
also, as the Y. M. C, A. takes care of
the negro soldiers in the camps just
as it does for the white men.
Perhaps no other existing organiza
tion could so well cope with present
i army conditions as the Y. M. C. A. In
a word, the “Y” seeks to bring as
many of the comforts and conven
iences of the home as possible into the
life of each enlisted man. Here the
j soldier finds stationary on which to
write home, phonographs, checker
i boards, newspapers and books. In the
evening's there are “movies,” or lec
tures. or entertainments. And all this j
is free to the soldiers.
It is estimated that something like I
eleven out of every dozen of the en
listed men will return to their homes
after the war. Therefore, what we
give now for the benefit of these men
through the Y. M. C. A. will prove to
be an investment of the first order,
since the men will return home to be
far better citizens than they ever
could be had it not been for the influ-
of the army Y. M. C. A.
Let everybody in the county have a I
part in this important; and weHhy-i

NATIONAL DEFENSE
SLOGAN OF WOMEN
Active Work Being Plan
ned To Aid Nation In
Arms.
The following directions and in
structions have (been sent orth by
Mrs. Samuel Inman, president of the
Woman’s Committee, Georgia Divi
sion of the Council of National De
fense:
“The Council of National Defense
looks to the State councils as its offi
cial representatives in each State;
therefore, the great value of having
in every town or city in the country,
as well as in the State, one central
point for headquarters where a record
of all woman’s work and all informa
tion in regard to the needs of women
throughout the country may be kept
and from which all government orders
and bulletins may be issued, cannot be
overestimated. The woman’s commit
tee has been charged by the Council
of National Defense with so co-ordi
nating all the work of women as to
make it most effective in the national
crisis, and this can only be done if
the means of communication to the
women throughout the country are
clearly established and can be quickly
and effectively utilized. The city and
town headquarters will be a large part
of the development of this plan, and
the organization of each county must
be completed rapidly. Is your county
I organized for the work being now
rushed from Washington to the wom
| en of the country?”
Mrs. Paul Akin Bartow, Chairman.
Mrs. Inman makes the interesting
announcement today that Mrs. Sam
uel Lumpkin, a member of the State
board, has been made chairman of n
committee recently created by the na
tional woman’s committee, which is
for the maintenance of existing social
agencies, and helath and recreation,
as they relate to war emergency work.
Mrs. Inman announces that Mrs.
Paul Akin, of Cartersville. is chair
man of the Bartow County unit, which
was organized at a meeting at Mrs.
Akin’s home Thursday, when assist
ing in the organization was Mrs. Sam
uel Lumpkin, of the State board, rep
resenting Mrs. Inman.
Announcement is also made of the
activity of the Cobb County unit, un
der the direction of Mrs. Georgia
Montgomery, while a “community cen
ter” is one of the accomplishments of
the Blackshear unit, of which Mrs.
Archibald Brantley is chairman.
Through this county community cen
ter, the women’s organizations will j
push their campaign for a continued 1
patriotism in the national war emer- j
gency program.
Government Needs Typists.
Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, of the
woman’s ‘committee of the Council of
i National Defense, is sending out a cir
cvular-letter to the chairmen of the
' State divisions, requesting them to
: give widespread publicity to the fact
that a vital need of the government
at the present time is for stenogra
phers and typewriters. The woman's
committee has no placement bureau to
supply this need, but is urging women
to learn stenography as one way of
taking up arms in defense of the!
country.
Unusual Demands for Labor.
The circular reads:
“Owing to the unusual demand for
labor of all kinds caused by the war,
the United States Civil Service Com
mission is having great difficulty in
Bunnlving the needs of the depart
ments and offices at Washington, D.
C., for typewriter operators and for
stenograhers and typewriters, and it
has asked the woman’s committee to
assist it in bringing to the attention
of women throughout the country an
opportunity for them to help the gov-!
ernment in a practical way.
“The commission urges, on the
ground of patriotism, that women who
are trained in stenography or type- J
writing, or both, enter open competi-j
tive examinations at once, and that j
those who have not such training im
mediately undergo instruction in ex
actly the same spirit that has moved
them to attend classes in first-aid
nursing—that is, the spirit of helpful
ness. Hundreds of business schools
throughout the country arc prepared!
to give this training, and proficiency.
in typewriting- may be acquired at
borne through careful study and close

DIES HI CEDARIOfI
In the sudden death of Mr. Hilliard
M. Mountcastle, which occurred at Ce
dartown November 2, while on a visit
to his son, who resides in that town,
Cartersville has lost a most highly es
teemed citizen.
Mr. Mountcastle was born January
4, 1852, and came to Cartersville with
his parents January, 1859. During the
past 30 years he has held responsible
positions * with drug stores in other
towns in this State, yet his love for
Cartersville caused him to give this
place the preference over all others.
He was employed at the Carters
ville- Book Store during the past three
years.
Mr. Mountcastle was a member of
the Methodist Church, Knights of Py
thias and Masonic fraternities. His
life was in accord with thfe teachings
and obligations of these organizations.
He had acquired a classical educa
| tion, and his retentive memory enabled
him to secure a remarkable fund of
general information, which made him
an interesting and valuable compan
ion to a very large circle of friends,
who are deeply grieved at his demis^.
Mr. Mountcastle is survived by his
brother, B. R. Mountcastle, and his
sister, Miss Virginia Mountcastle, who
reside in Atlanta, and his sister. Mrs.
Hall, of Rome, Ga.
He leaves two sons—Hilliard
Mountcastle, of Cedartown, and Wil
liam Mountcastle, of Marietta, Ga.
His body rests in the Cedartown
cemetery, beside that of his wife, who
was buried there in 1903.

There will be an oyster supper at the
school building in Stilesboro Friday

the school piano fund.
ing may be gained in from one to two
months; stenography, of course, takes
longer; but typewriter operators, as
well as stenographers and typewrit
ers, are in great demand. All who
pass the examinations for the depart
ments and offices at Washington. D.
C., are practically assured of a certifi
cation for appointment at salaries
ranging from SI,OOO to $1,200 a year.”
The woman’s committee is making
an appeal to the chairmen of the State
divisions to spread throughout the
territory information concerning ex
amination and application blanks. Th
cricular states that the prospect is
thaj; tha need for stenographers amt
typewriters will continue for an indef
initf period,
