Mr. Henry Milam, the president, pre sided and calkd on Rev. B. M. Twiggs tor the opening prayer. He then out lined the purpose of the meeting, and .- Ud, among other things, “If we far mers shou and lie persuaded to iner ase our cotton acrage, it would he nothing lijss Ilian suicide. For that reason, l believe we should frown on any grow er who increases? his cotton acreage during 1922. We should git informed, and then pass the good word along. "We have, here in Cartersville, a live active chamber of commerce. I believe tile Farm Bureau should co-operate wjih this body, in its endeavors to lie of service to the farmers of the county. ’ Mr. Jos. S. Calhoun, treasurer, re ported a balance of $163 30, aft r all expenses for the year 1921 had been paid. "I believe this organization can <!o great things for the farmers of Ijartow county. It takes money to run the Farm Bureau, though but i can as. \ siiire yuu, every dollar you pay into it, iyi expended with your interest as the first consideration. ( "I would 1 ik<T to see established here ill Cartersville a mar.et for all kinds oV country produce.

Mr. James W. Vaughan, President of the Bank of Cartersville, who was among the first citizens of the county to become interested in the Farm Bu reau movement, was a report on the work of the Warehouse Committee. “Wo have done nothing especially big the past year, ’ he said, “but we have already established, running and re ceiving farmers’ cotton, a bonded ware house, that will eventually mean one of the greatest things for the people of the county, ever established here. "If Bartow county has a wet spell, during the next cotton-growing sea son. we are liable to drop from twenty thousand to one thousand bales, just as a number of counties have done this year. It therefore behooves each of us to consider, and think seriously along lines of growing crops other than cot ton. here in Bartow county.” Mr. Vau ghan declared. Mr Vaughan was given a rising vote of thanks for his earnest, painstaking, and unselfish work in behalf of the Farm Bureau, not only in this county, but in the State and National organiza tion. The report on membership, read by- Mr. 8. 8. Atwood, said, "We, the com mittee on Membership, recommend that the Community Councils be organized, as planned by the State organization, "We believe this step will solve our membership problems, and be more helpful than anything we can do. look ing to the increase in our membership, so as to be able to buy and sell co operatively." The report of the Cropping Commit tee, aa read by Mr. W. D. Da\-idson, was adopted. This report is published in another colunr.o of this issue of The Tribune-News. Mr. Hamilton C. Stiles, one of the most enthusiastic and active members of the Bureau, made a report on the National Organization, and the work it Is prepared to do for the individual member, I believe this organization Is already big enough, strong enough and influential enough to represent the farmers of America, and 1 can not too strongly urge every farmer, to join us, in a determined effort to see that the farmer gets a square deal, in future — something he certainly has never got ten up to this good minute.” Secretary George Woodrow, of the Chamber of Commerce was asked to tell something about the proposed Gol den Rule Sales and Auctions, and said that plans are now being worked out, with the intention of holding one of these sales in Cartersville, at an early date, to be announced later.

Cherokee Club Carried Out Delightful Program Tuesday In spite of the worst storm of th winter, a large crowd assembled at the c!ui> room o*i Tuesday, when ther were ‘ two feasts” —a feast of reason ard a feast for the eye In viewing the reco it v decorated chib room The presid nt, Mrs. Oscar Peeples, presided, and alter a short business session introduced Mrs J.

Miss Buoy Vilnyus cloge 1 the musi cal numbers w’th a brilliant piano so ! o Mrs. Whittaker spoke of the meaning ; and Intent of Thrift Week, bringing out ! forcibly the fact that the American Bankers’ Association is standing solidly lin k of this movement. She stressed the separate days of Thrift Week, and announced a prize of $5 to be given bj the Cherokee Club through the Thrill committee. Two other prizes were an nounced by Mrs ‘ arah Connor and cauged much pleased comment. These are $3 each, given by the Bank of Car. tersvilie and the First National Bank to I the child under 16 years writing tho best essay on What It M ans to Have i Money in the Bank ” Mrs. Whittaker Introduced Mr. J AV ( Vaughan president of the Bank of Ci r ’ lersvilie,- whose address was the feature I of the afternoon. Mr. Varphen’s Adartss 1 Said Mr Vaughan: ■ The word ’Saving’ Is guch a sore I subject to many \v men. I wonder why . you gave me Budget’ for a subject. They are so intimately related To bor [ row an exprf-sdon. inv effort befo>" this cultured organization should be ; called. Converting Cold Figures into j Live Hea< s.’ “In the general rule Of life, maturity emmene sand is eo-t rmincus with j usefulness, growth and experience.

"Remember. I am not trying to talk ; to you, but to the masses, as well as I you. If 1 could only hut direct you to the outlook of Civilization—the true picture of the frame, of mind of the masses, as well as thinking humanity, as we approach this very worthy sub ject, some inspiration might he aroused from the effort. "Very few people can seo a cyclone until it passes, -The majority of fail ure-folks find themselves bankrupt be fore they know it If I were to say that there is decadence in your home, or admit it was in mine, you would be offended or charge me with foolishness. So I will not do it; but it may be true, just the same! “As common sense is the common knowledge of many common things, cannot we unite in reality thege great forces on common ground, in a com mon way, to such a common people, that our going away (thig year) may be to stay at home and do things, rather than to preach subjets?

"Before the war, the average man regented the idea that any great change could happen. The first half of 1920 found so-called wige business men, drunk and un-willing to see or heed warnings! "Now, the student who has dissected fhe dead corpses, whether man or civi. lization, must know how infinite are the perils that beset him. Do we under stand that the losses of the war were thrown upon the holderg of past sav i ings? That a great change in the i frame of mind is logs of initiation? I That the vile effect at home was the de ■ moralizalion of profiteering and absurd j high wages which encouraged extra va. j gance, and enormous friction? ‘J3x- I travagance rots character,’ some one ' has very truthfully said. "As it is a fact that a majority of women marry ordinary men, and the j larger number of men pick women de ficient in business foresight, reasonable progress, nor matrimonial guccess can not be established unless there is a budget system in the home, to which hearty co-operation contributes. "A Bartow county lady once said in my presence, 'a woman is a fool to marry a poor man.’ She makes no budget; her husband is still poor! An other said to me, she did not expect to marry until she got a man able to provide liberally. She hag no man “I know a Bartow county citizen, in trouble and in debt, who carried nearly fifty dollars worth of useless Christmas pregents to his children! "With these conditions, the spirit of work is largely lost. When to be a worker means a partnership is remote —ldealism seems to be a gift! 'lt is intelligently stated that the very serious condition of the last cen tury has been that knowledge has out stripped the moral senge—that the right use of opportunity has been dwarfed by the wrong use of Opportunity!” Concluding his remarks, Mr. Vaughan said: "The super-amount of Drives, promulgated before and since the ar mistice was not from super-thinking, or fundamental construction, but cop ied and energized zeal, making non payers and indifferent contributors of thousands of our people. The very thing we go at with enthusiasm or energetic spurts, often vanishes or shrinks below the former standard or normal level! ‘'1916-1917 was the silk shirt age. gllk stocking age; 1920 the land-buying age; 1921, the dazed, and to-collect senses age; 1922 the clear idfa of op. porunlty, with a determined Simplicity, to cut out The Jones,” work heroically, make a Budget, pay cash, and utilize— eternally—the promulgated standards suggested in the Ten Commandments of the American Bankers’ Association, for Thrift Week —January the 16th —and the annual 52 weeks that follow there after!" Mrs. Garham's Address. Mrs John M. Graham of Marietta, State chairman of Thrift, was the next speaker. Her remarks were particular ly t.tmly, and to the point. "When I wag asked to take this job,” she wild, ”I could not think of anythin" ' new on Thrift, so over-worked had be- j come the word. But, since coming to Cartersville, and hearing Mr Vaughan's I THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS Cartersville, Georgia, January 12, 1922. address I fool that 1 can enter into the plan with renewed energy and l want to te'l you members of the Cherokee Club of Cartersville, ycu hav_> set a pace that other elub women over the State might well pattern after. "I believe that Thrift is the salva tion of our country; that it is abso lutely necesgary, if our people are ever to catch up with the'r wild orgy of spending of the past few* years, "I am practicing thrift in my own home, and we are row making a bud get and adhering to it, strictly “I get up every morning at 5:30, and cook my hugband'fe breakfast. The momy I thus save I am go’ng to use in as wise and judicious spending as possible. I want to assure you,' she said in conclusion of her particularly happy remarks.

The lady who displays the best sales manship' ability between now and the close will be the proud owner of the Nash car that is offered as ill first grand prize of the huge Salesmanship Can patgn. Up to the present time none of the club members have secured a decided lead over the res: of the field, and th" present writing finds them clostdy bunched in the race, but Ihe largest extra vote offer to he allow, and closes next AVednesday January 18, and it behooves each a ; i<( every candidate to get busy and in these next few days, so that she may get her full share of the extra votes to be allowed. At the present time and up until n.xt AVednesday a-subscription will average many times more votes than the saime subscription, if not tak n until the last of th,- campaign, so do not fall down n \v, "Miss Candidate,’ for every min ute means something to you and you); fight for the Nash After Wednesday the votes must de crease on each subscription, and curing the last days of the drive only the reg ular votes will he allowed, so see to it (hat you take advantage of the huge and splendid t ffer while it is in effect.
