Christmas Roll Call 16th to 23rd of
Deecmber; It Is Your Privilege
To Be on This Roll Call
The space so generously given by
the editor of this paper for the Offi
cial Notes of the Cobb County Chap
ter, A. R. C., will be devoted to the
work of the Christmas Roll Call for
the next two weeks, and any item of
inteerst from any Branch for the Roll
Call should be sent to Mrs. A. D.
Grant, Marietta, Chairman of Pub
licity.
At the beginning of our active Red
Cross work, which in this part of
the country was after our country en
tered the conflict for “Right over
Might”—quite a number of people
rested upon their dignity and await
ed a special personal invitation to be
come members of the Red Cross.
Thank heaven that time has passed
—everybody realizes what a privi
lege it is to be allowed to be a part
of that splendidly organized society
of the American Red Cross.
From the smallest Red Cross Socie
ty in the world the American Red
Cross has grown to be the largest by
many thousand members. Its magni
ficent work during the war was proof
sufficient that the hearts of the Amer
ican people were in the right place.
Don’t let that standard fall now—
now when the need of your help is
greater than ever—when the call is
just for membership—a moral back
ing, that is all that is asked of us at
this time. We give only one dollar
a year for the blessed privilege of
being a member of the most wonder
ful organization in the world for the
alleviation of human suffering. An
organization that walked hand in
hand with our army and navy and the
armies of our allies, and is to take a
major part in the great reclamation
work of the world.

“LIBERTY FUEL,” MADE
TO REPLACE GASOLINE
INVENTED BY OFFICERS
Washington, Nov. 29.— “Liberty
fuel,” vastly cheaper than gasoline
and possesing many advantages over
the product has been invented by of
ficers of the war department and is
now being produced in large quan
tities, it became known today.
The new fuel is the result of more
than five hundred experiments con
ducted by Major O. B. Zimmerman
and Captain E. C. Weinberger, of
the research and developement divi
sinos of the general engineering de
pot here.
Exhaustive experiments have
proved that the new fuel is adapted
to all kinds of motor vehicles, sta

BOYS TEACH FATHERS BETTER
~HOG RAISING
Some of the boys in the two De
‘kalb County, Ind., pig clubs are show
[ing their afthers how rapid and eco
nomical gains can be made in raising
;pigs. Under the direction of the lo
cal county agent these boys have been
able to almost double the results ob
tained by their fathers within the
same length of time and feeding pigs
of the same litter. The boys used
self-feeders and the fathers did not,
and the pigs which were allowed to
select their own feed made gains of
2 pounds a day. The club members
are proving, beyond question, the
merits of the self-feeder, and hog
raisers in the county of many years’
experience are beginning to copy the
boys’ methods. As a result of the club
‘work, the county agent reports, many
ifathers and sons are now planning to
2o into partnership and raise pure
| bred hogs.
A '’POSSUM SUPPER
Mrs. Harry DuPre complimented
her husband with a delightful ’pos

Those present were P. W. Camp, Dr.

George Montgomery, J. H. Boston,
Glenn Marchmann and H. N. DuPre.
IF SOLDIERS ARE LATE
“Excuses do not go in the army
and I think I can show you why,”
writes the Cave Scout in the Decem
ber issue of Boys’ Life. ‘Let us sup
pose, for instance, that you and your
chum Bill are called into headquar
ters and given the following order:
‘lt is now 10:15, at 11:15 you will de
liver this message to Col. Givemfits
at Trench 3:49.” Suppose you deliver
vour message at 11:17. By that time
your own outfit has attacked. The
support your commander expected
from Col. Givemfits is two minutes
late. Your comrades are wiped out
by a machine gun Col. Givemfits was
to have put out of business. You
are then called before the command
ing officer and you say, ‘Well you see,
Bill wanted to go one way and I—’
But you will not have the chance to
go that far with your explanation.
“The commanding officer knows
you were ordered to report at 11:15.
He knows you did not do it. He
knows two hundred men died because
vou did not do it.
“War is a dangerous game and
men must be trained to accept full
responsibility for their acts. That is
the only way men can be held up to
full account for their mistakes—and
can get full credit for their suc.
cesses.”

HOW TICK RELEASES
‘'FOLLOW DIPPING VAT
The amount of territory released
this year in nine Southern states from
the Federal quarantine against the
cattle fever tick was 79,217 square
miles, the greatest on record since
the state and federal governments be
gan to fight the cattle parasite in
1906.
Another record, too, was broken
this year. The number of cattle dip
pings in all tick infested territory in
the first ten months of 1918 was 39,-
263,867—exceeding the number in
any previous year and by more than
ten million the number for the entire
year of 1917.
Officials of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, U. S. Department of Agri
culture, emphasize the direct relation
between these figures. Where there
are many cattle dippings release of
territory from quarantine is much
more probable than where there are
a few. Where there are no dippings
there is little or no hope. Releases
follow the dipping vat.
CHEMISTRY DEFINED
“If I had been real bright,” says
Eugene Wood in his humorous sketch
called “Missed It—The Big Idea,” in
the December Boys' Life, “l would
have seen that the thing to do, when
there isn’t the substance that you
want, is to go ahead and invent it.
Other people do that so why not you?
Make it out of other substances not
a bit like what you want. That’s
what you call chemistry.
“] knew that there was such a
thing as chemistry because I had
been in a chemical laboratory. But
a boy’s notion of chemistry is a good
deal like that of the level, solid-head
ed business-man before the war—
Ts! I get all twisted sometimes—
the solid level headed business man
before the war. That’s what I
meant to say. That notion is: that
chemistry is where it smells like the
furnace didn’t draw; it is where you
pour clear stuff out of a bottle into
clear stuff out of another bottle, and
it all clouds up different colors; it is
something you have to learn so as to
get through college, but ‘it ain’t prac
tical.” ”

SOLDIERS AND GENTLEMEN
An army coming home victorious
from war is not always counted on
to exercise a high moral influence.
Camps are not Sunday schools, and
behind the plaudits for the return
ing troops there are sometimes men
tal reservations as to the effect on
social conditions of a soldiery fresh
from a successful campaign. Yet
here is Secretary Baker asserting
that the greatest inheritance the
country will derive from the world
war will be the reflection upon its
future government of the simple vir
tues the men of its armies have'ab
sorbed in the training camps'and at
the front.
That is a tribute probably never
before paid by a war secretary to an
American Army. Its soldiers, as
the Secretary says, have not only
fought like heroes but lived like
gentlemen. They have gone singing
into action and helped the aged and
infirm women of France gather their
crops and cheered up the sad little
war orphans, and all the while their
private life has been clean and honor
able. And with this is the testimony
of Col. Whittlesey ‘“‘that the enlisted
man is a wonder.”
Obviously this development of
moral character in mass by our 2,-
000,000 men overseas will be a po
tent social force at home. It has
justified the temporary militariza
tion of the Nation in an unforseen
