VOL. I I. R. R. S, TO GET 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.

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.

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.

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 application. * iSm f Learn ffanir.

All organizations, business, so cial and civic, have signified the earn est hope that Mr. Sunday will come to Cal tersville and preach a sermoni and accept the hospitalities which are ready to be tendered him. His meetings in Atlanta are remark able for the attendance and for the great and serious attention the people are giving to hie messages. These are powerfully delivered and all who hear him apeak in, highest terras of bis earn estness. his eloquence and his stage presence. He preaches a practical religion and his periods, amt climaxes are wonderfully brought out.

It is believed that if Mr. Sunday will come here that he will be greeted by fhe largest crowd that has ever been assembled to hear a preacher in Cartelsville and that he will be shower ed with forms of hospitality which he will always remember. H. R. ■[ 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.

All who pass the examinations for the depart ments and offices at Washington. D.
