DINNER TIME AT
THE COUNTY CAMP
We have frequently wondered how
the feed expense of the county con
victs and road workers, had been
kept within reasonably low figures,
during all these months of high cost
of living.
On Tuesday we got the solution of
this problem, when we viewed the
home-raised food products at the
camp.
We had always suspected that
Road Superintendent Morris was a
good farmer and stockman, and now
we know it.
We were one of several fortunate
guests who took dinner at the camp
on last Tuesday, when the board of
commissioners were also guests.
It would be useless for us to at
tempt in print to give proper credit
to that dinner, so we will just say
that it was plenteous and magnifi
cent, and that aside from the coffee
and sugar, we believe every item was
a home product.
We assisted the other guests in
giving the dinner proper and personal
attention at that time, and after in
specting the camp house and cars,
we were privileged to walk through
the beautiful turnip: and collard
patches, and view the house filled
with yellow yams, winding up at the
barn where a large number of large
fat hogs were awaiting the demand
for meat at the camp.

be no doubt that in Supt. N. M. Mor

M. H. S. ATHLETICS
Two new teams have been added
to the girls’ Prep school basketball
league this year, they being Decatur
High and Kirkwood High. Both of
these schools are said to have crack
teams and it is expected that they
will be well up in the race.
The league’s first scheduled game
will be playgd on January 10th. The
Marietta girls are being coached by
Joe Bean, the Atlanta basketball star,
and will be ready when the gong
sounds.
Our team went to Gainesville last
Friday evening and played the girls’
five of that city. They were defeat
ed by the score of 18 to 4, but it
is claimed by Gainesville writers that
Marietta showed some rare class and
gave the Gainesville team a much
harder fight than the score indicates.
Muriel Williams, our all-prep guard,
did not make the trip, which was
another drawback, for Miss Williams
is more than one-fifth of the team.
Anyhow, we are glad this was only
a practice game. |
The boys’ five will perform in Ma
rietta tonight, playing the strong
Fulton High aggregation. |

LOOK AFTER THE SEED SUPPLY
The important part of the use of
improved seeds of all farm crops has
played on the quality and yield has
been fully established by numerous
experiments and demonstrations in
recent years. In many instances the
increases due to use of good seed have
been very striking. There will, no
doubt, be a scarcity of high-grade
seeds of several staple crops next sea
son. For this reason it is worth while
to call the attention of every farmer
to the necessity of selcting and pro
perly storing a sufficient supply for
home use of every kind of seed avail
able. After deciding what crops are
to be planted next year, the farmer
will do well to locate and purchase
seeds now, unless he has them of his
own growing. Failure to order now
may result in getting only inferior
seeds, as the dealers usually fills early
orders with the best.

MUST REDEEM PLEDGES \
BY JANUARY FIRST
—_— |
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 19.—As the end
of the year approachés the campaign
for the redemption of War Savings
Stamps is becoming more and more
intensive, and it is expected that fully
95 per cent. of the pledges will be
redeemed before the last of the year.
Georgians who pledged to buy so
many Stamps during the year are now
being called upon to make good their
pledges, and the number of persons
lagging in payments is becoming
smaller every day.
In many counties women are car
rying on a house to house canvass,
and everywhere this method of cam
paigning has been exteremely fruit
ful.
The treasury department is espec
ially anxious to see that all pledges
are redeemed by the end of the pres
end year, and all those behind. the
campaign are working with that end
in view.
THE WORK OF THE RECREA
TION COMMITTEE OF Y. W. C. A.
The work of this committe is close
ly allied with that of the Education
committee, for recreation and edu
cation often go hand in hand. All
ages need recreation. It is the right
as well as the need of a child to have
healthy, happy recreation. Boys and
girls of teen age also need it as part
of their physical and social training,
and adults who do not have recrea
tion grow old and dull before their
time. g
The recreation committee of .the
Y. W. C. A. has outlined a program
which wil Ireach all three of these
ages, it has not been worked out in
detail yet but the general plan is this:
1. Organized play for the child
ren from six to twelve. This will be
carried out through the means of
playgrounds and a story telling hour.
2. For the girls of teen age games
and social affairs which will give
them the good times all girls love,
and still hold before them the ideal,
well rounded Christian womanhood.
3. For the young women the
chance for physical training byi
means of gymnasium classes, also
Glee Clubi work which will bring
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
them together socially and will also
be fine physical and educational
training.
Community gatherings will also be
arranged for special occasions when
the town will be asked to join in the
good times. Community sings are
one of the features that are being
used in many towns with great suc
cess.
This is a brief outline of the plans
of this committee and we hope every
one will co-operate with us to carry
them out successfully.

Any remedy that lessens the num

has a direct effect upon the number
of weevils to fought in storage.
Among the remedies recommended
in. the bulletin to lessen abundance
are the planting of seed free from

culture, and the harvesting, thrash

seed as soon as possible. Fumigation
