Navy Department Says Our Navy
Must Stand Hundred Per Cent
Equipped At All Times |
The following letter from Lieut.
Atkinson is self-explanatory. We
have a great many new vessels; our
navy should be second to none:
To the Editor:
The great World War is apparently
over and the work has been well
done, but the work of your navy and
my Navy and your country’s Navy has
not been completed yet, and it will
never be completed, for our Navy
must stand 100 per cent equipped ati
all times if our country is to be
spared from another such war. Please
accept the thanks and =appreciation
of this office, and the Navy Depart
ment for the able assistance your
papers has given in running news
items, advising young pen to enter
the Naval Service, showing them the
advantages and opportunities given a
man there and in general giving him
the best information he can get.
The Navy now needs a great num
ber of men and theer are many young
men who are anxious to enlist, who
have never served, also many young
men now being discharged from the
army who would like to enter the
service for the purpose of making it
their permanent home. The names of
these men we do not know, but we
realize that by giving information
through your paper it will reach many
of them. I will appreciate it very
much if you will publish this letter
with that object in view.
The age limit is 17 to 35, but for
different ratings the age limit varies
between these two limits. The pay is
good, the moral surroundings are far
better than the young man comes in
contact within the average walk of
life, the food is excellent and the op
portunity for getting a free educa
tion cannot be equaled anywhere else.
For those who cannot apply in person
to this station a letter of inquiry ad
dressed to the Navy Recruiting Sta
tion, Postoffice building, Atlanta, Ga.,
will, be given prompt attention and
all the information desired will be
promptly mailed out upon receipt of
the letter.
Thanking you again for all the as
sistance you have given and may be
able to give, I am
’ Very truly yours,
W LT. J. F. ATKINSON.
A 1,000 PER CENT INVESTMENT
We can say just this to the folks
back home who see the names of their
loved ones on the casualty lists as
wounded: That no soldiers ever bore
their suffering with greater fortitude
and that no wounded men have ever
received better attention. The Amer
ican Red Cross is playing its part to
make this result possible. lam sure
that every subscriber to the Red Cross
funds, every one who has given a dol
lar, would feel that he had made a
thousand per cent upon his invest
ment if he could get a picture of it
all as we see it here in France.—
From “Headquarters to_-You,” in the
January issue of the Red Cross Mag
azine, ‘
SUCH IS AN AMERICAN SOLDIER
For seven hours we hugged the
ground or crawled around to help the
wounded. We started taking the
wounded back, but each man who
attempted it was killed or wounded,
and I had to stop it. It was pathetic
their calling on me to help them and
I absolutely helpless. I felt terribly
about it. Out of my liaison group
around me only one was left. Deeds
of heroism were done there which
are equal to any in history. I saw
an attempt to bring ammunition to
one machine gun; ont box cost the
lives of eight men to carry it thirty
feet. A man would carry it three
or four feet and drop; another would
spring up—three feet more and he
was done for. But the ammunition
got to the gun, only to have the gun
smashed by a shell before it could be
fired.
Of such stuff is made the soldier
of the United States, so scorned by
the Boche!-—Red Cross Magazine.

A PIG AS SENTRY. S
“When the war became a trench
conflict the soldiers in the trenches
cultivated pets—dogs, cats, parrots,
and even goats and pigs,” says Ladd
Plumley in an article entitled
“Strange Sentries” in the January
issue of Boys’ Life. ‘“And it was
soon observed that the feathered or|
four-footed friends knew that their
masters were in peril and managed
to givé warning when a raid of the
enemy wsa about to take place.
“The story is told of a little pig
that was intended for a roast but
never went into the baking oven.‘
Piggy was owned by a French avia
tor, and, on excellent authority, it
is said that ‘Ace Piggy’ showed his
excitement when enemy planes were
coming and managed in some piggy
way te notify his master. These
mysterious powers as a sentry were
the wonder and talk of all the avia
tors of the sector and Piggy’s mas
ters came to depend absolutely upon
his little sentry of coiled tail and
beady eyes.”

wonderful pictures ever brought to
Marietta at The Strand on Tuesday.

WAR STAMPS NOT INTENDED
FOR USE IN GENERAL TRADE
Washington, D. C. Jan. 2, 1918.
Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass today issued the following state
ment:
“It has been called to my atten
tion that large numbers of charitable
organizations have from time to time
solicited contributions from the peo
ple of the country and in their ap
peals have stated that Liberty Bonds
and War Savings Stamps would be
received in lieu of cash.
“These charitable people seem to
overlook the fact that as long as the
United States Government is under
the necessity of selling additional
amounts of its bonds, the taking of
bonds of previous issued by such
charitable organizations and the con
sequent re-sale of such bonds in the
open market has a tendency to de
press the price and make it more dif
ficult for the Government to obtain
the money it needs upon reasonable
terms.. I therefore request that
charitable organizations refrain from
making any suggestion to the public
that they will accept Liberty Bonds
or War Savings Stamps unless for
endowment funds to be held for per
manent investment.”

FALL TERM CREDIT GIVEN
WAR SERVICE MEN
““Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 2. Under the
most favorable auspices in its ‘career
the Georgia State College of Agri
culture opened its winter term on
New Year's enrollement. The col
lege gave thirty-four members of its
faculty to active war service, and the
student’s service flag showed 300
stars. In recognition of the service
they rendered in the cause of Liber
ty the college allowed all men dis
charged from the army, navy, Y. M.
C. A. or other department, to enter
the fall term with full credit for the
work of the fall term. This was done
to enable the young men to make up
for the time lost from study while
they were serving their country.
A ten day conference of Georgia
farmers will be held at the college
beginning January 6. Experts from
the U. S. Department of Agricluture
will be in attendance to give lectures
‘and conduct demonstrations. A large
{number of representative farmers
and farm women will attend the con
ference from all parts of the state.
There will be special lectures, demon
strations and discussions for every
department of agricultural activity,
such as fruit growing, truck garden
ing, hog raising, cattle raising, poul
try culture, and general farming.
SUGAR BEETS FOR COWS |
We noted this week, a very large
specimen of the Woertzel Mangel
variety of sugar beet, in the show
window of Hodges Drug Store.
It would weigh probably six pounds
without the top. It was grown by
Mr. Henry Johnston for stock feed.
A number of farmers in this sec
tion have found these beets a most
nutritious and fattening K winter food
for cattle, and no doubt they . will
when their value is more generally
be largely grown for that purpose
undestood. « :
“GENERAL SUICIDE”
There is a Red Cross General, just
one. He is a little chap—so little
that you’d hardly observe him in a
crowd of schoolboys—and he was in
the thick of things at Chateau-Thi
erry. He has an impersonal, preoc
cupied air as he sits on the front seat
of his camion beside the chauffeur.
Once he was seen to pilot his car out
into the field where shells were burst
ing twenty feet apart, to detour a
head of everything, hit the road again
and dash on.
“Say!” demanded a doughboy,
“who is he, that skimpy little Red
Cross feller who always looks as if
he had the whole American Armry on
his mind?”’
“Dunno his name,” responded
someone else. “The boys in my out
fit call .him General Suicide.”—From
Melville Chater’s “Chasing a Victor
ious Army,” in the January Red Cross
Magazine.
DOG LIFE SAVERS
Some of the dog haters who fill col
umns in our daily papers with com
plaints of dogs and abuse of those who
love them should pause in their anti
canine campaign and realize how
much these animals have helped in
saving life during the war. How use
ful dogs have been in one field is
suggested in Ladd Plumley’s article,
“Strange Sentries,” which appears in
the January Boys’ Life.
““And we cannot think it strange
that there were many dogs in the
trenches which developed wonderful
instinet as sentries and many dog’s
masters who learned to rely absolute
ly on the warning of their pets. A
little English dog sentry in the tren
ches on the Somme front always warn
ed his master 16ng before an enemy
raid came over the top. And an Eng
lish aviator on the same front could
tell from the excitement of his pet
Yorkshire that enemy airplanes were
abroad and that an attack was in
tended. Immediately he was wont to
notify the other aviators so that pre
parations against the attack were
‘made long before a human sentry
‘could give his warning.
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
NITRATES TURNED FROM WAR
TO AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES
Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 2.—The long
time shortage of nitrate which has
seriously handicapped farming opera
tions in the south ever since the be
ginning of the European war will
shortly be relieved to a very great
extent if the war department carries
out a plan suggested by Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia.
Learning that large quantities of
nitrate A were stored at Wilmington
and other Atlantic ports, intended for
use in the manufacture of munitions,
and now no longer needed for that
purpose, Senator Smith wrote a letter
to Secretary Baker in which he sug
gested that the nitrates be transfer
red for use in agricluture.
As a practical means of disposing
of the nitrate, he suggested that the
Department of Agricluture be au
thorized to handle it through its vari
ous channels, supplying it to the
farmers at cost.
Through -Senator Smith’s active
efforts in behalf of the farmers it
is expected that practically all of
the nitrate will be transferred in the
manner suggested.
PUTTING POUNDS ON PORKERS
Boy’s and girls’ pig clubs in Ames,
lowa, lately have been making big
records in pig fattening. Informa
tion just received by the States Re
lations. Service, United States Depart
men of Agriculture, shows that one
boy, for a' period of 123 days, made
a gain of 2.39 pounds a day on his
pig; another, 2.26 pounds a day.
Twenty boys have average 2 or more
pounds a day.
“It is the best record from the
standpoint of rate of gain that we
have ever received,” says Frank O.
Reed, the pig club leader in Ames.
Some excellent gains and unusual
profits have also been made in beef
fatteninig. Several members of the
boys’ corn club report over a hun
dred bushels to the acre, one showing
135, 126, and 124 bushel yields.
We print this to show what lowa
boys and girls are doing.
Qurs can do the same and will do
better before very long.
With Malice Aforethought
Clifford had a drum for a Christ
present and his attentions to it were
constant.
“Do you suppose,” asked his moth
er of the father, “that Clifford dis
turbs the neighbors with his drum?’’
“I’'m afraid there’s no doubt of it,”!
replied the father; ‘“the man next}
door gave him a fine new knife to-[
day and suggested that he cut open
the drum and spend the money that’s
inside.”—Puck.
DOES YOUR MOTOR SHOW
NUMBER? IF ° NOT, YOU
ARE LIABLE TO ARREST
Do Georgia automobile owners
know that it is a misdemeanor to own
a car whose motor number is not
plainly and legibly stamped on the
motor? ;
Do they know that possession of
a car without such a number is pre
sumptive evidence that the car was
stolen, either by the man having it
or by the man from whom it was
bought?
{ These are the facts, and the secre
tary of state is calling them now, on
the eve of the new year, to the at
tention of the automobile owners, so
that they will take pains at once to
examine their motors and find out
whether the same are numbered.
No automobile license will be is
sued for any “car unless the motor
number is shown on the application
blank, which is filed as a permanent
record. Applications mailed to the
seeretary of state without this infor
mation will be returned to the per
sons sending them.
The state automobile inspector will
devote special attention this year to
motor numbers. Whenever he finds
a car whose number is not plainly and
legibly stamped on the motor he willl
prosecute the person in whose pos
session he found the car.
DONT THROW AWAY
Make Them Wear Like New—
As Did This Canadian
Officer ;
A Canadian army officer, William
Pemberton, of the famous Princess Pat
Regiment, told of the extraordinary
wear given him by a pair of army boots
twice repaired with Neolin Soles.
“Six months of trench warfare under
destructive conditions put the first
pair of Neolin Soles out of business,”
said Lieutenant Pemberton, ‘‘but crdi
nary soles would have gone to pieces
in much less time.”
Don’t throw away shoes that can be
repaired. Have them re-bottomed with
tough, durable Neslin Soles. Any
cobbler or repairman will do the work
for you. The price is no more than
for soles that give less wear. Remem
ber—Nealin Soles are created by science
to be what soles should be. They
are flexible and waterproof as well as
durable. They come on new shoes of
all styles. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company,
Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot
Heels—guaranteed to outwear any
other heels.
