NO. 50. “ Scarcity of Newsprint Paper And E Enormously Higher Prices Are Forcing This Change The Georgia State Press associa tion in its meeting at Macon last week discussed the diffiiculties now facing the weekly newspapers of the state, and after a two-day session adopted resolutions with an agreement that they be printed on the front page of all papers this week to give the pub lic fair notice of the siutation. The resolutions adopted by the as sociation are as follows: 1. For the conservation of news print, and for economy of operation, all newspapers shall eliminate free copies, free exchanges, shall put their papers on an absolute cash-in-ad vance, and stop on expiration basis, mailing checking copies to advertisers only on insertion of ads; papers to be sent advertising agencies in spec ially marked wrappers; that all news papers adopt the regulations of the S. N. P. A. regarding newsprint con servation as far as practicable, and that each newspaper office investigate the sale of waste paper, and, if prac ticable, install necessary machinery to bale same for shipping. 2. This association hereby indorses tae plan proposed by the S. N. P. A. for a training school for linotype op erators and printers, and urges ail members to give active, practical as sistance to further the plans for the increase of linotype operators and printers. 3. That this association urges all home-print papers to adopt a sub scription price of not less than $2 ver Yyear, and recommends that the lar ger country papers advance their sub scription price to $2.50. 4. That this association recor mends and strongly urges the adop tion of the following advertising rate schedule, based on circulation: For first 1,000 circulation, not less than 20 cents per inch. For second 1,000 circulation, not less than 10 cents per inch. ' For third 1,000 circulation, mnot less than 5 cents per inch. We recommend that all political ad vertising be subject to a highsr rate for reasons that are obvious to any one conversant with this eclass of business. Standard Job Prices 5. That all newspaper plants doing job work, adopt a standard price list, in all cases where the cost system is now used; that in so far as practic able, printers in the same territory use the same system of determining wcosts and prices. 6. That this association indorses the suggestion of saving the waste ‘paper of the daily newspapérs, to be available for use by the weekly pa pers, and we request the president to take such steps as will insure prover <co-operation. . 7. This association hereby con demns the publicity methods adopted by certain politicians, publie service companies and others, and that the secretary is hereby directed to uotify all known candidates for office, o:”ﬁ:e‘ holders, and all others seeking free publicity through press agents, ori other means, that all such matter ‘will not be published by members of the Georgia Press association, excepti at paid advertising rates, applicable; to that class of business. ! 8. That this association assures the Macon. Chamber of Commerce, the Georgia Hotel Men’s association and the local newspapers and hotels of its «deep appreciation for the many cour tesies extended this association while in session in Macon. A MARIETTA MINISTER GETS NASHVILLE CALL It has just come to our knowledge that a Nashville church has placed a call in the hands of Rev. R. R. Clai borne of St. James’ church, Marietta. When asked about it, Mr. Claiborne declined to talk of the matter at this time, other than to admit that such a call had been received by him. Speaking of Marietta and the church here, he was pronounced in his praise, saying that Marietta was a most delightful place in which to live and that Marietta people were amo:g the best on earth. Mr. Claiborne has many friends in Marietta, both within and outside his church, who would regret to sez Lim leave Marietta. MR. A. D. GRANT SOUTHERN ! MANAGER OF CONCERN Mr. A. D. Grant, for nearly seven yvears one of the most valued of The (Atlanta) Journal advertising men, and for more than twenty-one years prominent in the national advertising field, leaves the Journal Monday to become Southern Manager for Cone, Lorenza and Woodman, publishers representatives.” This is the intro duction to a very complimentary ar ticle about Mr, Grant in The Atlanta Journal of Sunday, and is very grati fying to the Marietta .-friends of him self and Mrs. Grant.. THE MARIETTA JOURNAL OFFICERS SHATTER DREAMS OF OVERJOYOUS CHRISTMAS Deputy Sheriff T. M. Sanders and Deputy Marshall P. M. Groover broke up the makings of many a Christmas jag on Tuesday night when they ar rested four negroes in an automobile with nine gallons of booze. The occupants of the car were Wal die, owner of the car, who works at the ice plant, Flukus Jefferson, who works at the chair factory, Eddie Hill and Willie Lee Burton. The car, which was a Ford, was held under the law, and the negroes were all bound over to answer to the court. Secretary of State McLendon is out with a statement relative to the sale of stocks by unauthorized com panies in this state and is determined that the bogus companies shall be driven out of the state. The latest statement from his of fice follows: “Those concerned are notified that the following companies have sold stock in Georgia in violation of the law and that the traveling salesmen or agents who sold these stocks, each and every one of them, committed a misdemeanor. : “The concerns violating the law of Georgia are the Uncle Sam Oil com pany, the Virginia Oil and Gas cor poration, the Piedmont Motors corpo ration, the Great Southern Oil com pany, the Terminal Oil company, the Hoffman Oil and Refining company and the World Wonder Oil company. “Persons who purchased these stocks within the last twelve months have the right to rescind the con tracts made and, moreover, have the right to prosecute the individuals from whom these stocks were pur chased, regardless of whether the seller was principal, agent or broker. This department advises every pur chaser of these stocks to see to it that the seller gets twelve months in the chaingang and a fine of $1,000.” SUGCESS OF Y.W. G. A, A Dinner At THe Golf Club Brings Together Those Interested In Future of Association At the Golf Club on Monday even ing a most delightful dinner was serv ed to a number of the business men of the town and county, by the offi cers and members of the local Y. W. O A In all ninety-five gentlemen had been inviteds but as the rain for two days had been coming down in tor rents, and the night out of doors most disagreeable, far from the full list responded. Mrs. Rambo, president of the local association acting as the hostess of the occasion, introduced Miss Amy Smith, of Richmond, one of the ex ecutives of the National Association. Miss Smith gave a brief acount of the work of this association in the fifty-three years since its organiza tion, with special mention of the work during the war. After this Mr. J. W. Legg, chair man of the Men’s Committee, took charge and short talks were made by Messrs. B. G. Brumby, J. J. Daniell, N. K. Smith, T. M. Brumby, Jr.,, M. M. Sessions and others. In answer to an inquiry Mrs. Ram bo stated that the needs of the local work for the coming year would ap proximate $3,500, of which $5OO was to be used for county work, and sup plemented by the communities in which the work in done. ~ Mr. Sessions presented the ques ition of “who will give and how ‘much?” There was a response from every man present, several raising \their first subscription, and in a short time the sum of $2,425 had been pledged. . Committees were then named to see others who were not present who wish to give to the cause and the fu ture of the local Y. W. C. A. is now reasonably assured. NATIONAL BANKS NOT BOUND BY STATE LAW Washington, Dec. 8. — National hanks have the right to charge in terest in excess of the maximum amount allowed under state laws, the supreme court today decided. The case was brought by the Citi zens and Scriven County bank against the National Bank of Savannah, Ga., the claim being that the national bank violated the state law by de ducting interest in advance from the total loan, making the interest fig ured on the amount received instead of the face value of.-the loan, ex ceed 8 per cent, the maximum in Georgia. Justices Pitney, Clarke and Bran deis dissented. i MARIETTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1919. \ The Double Life of Amanda Hatcher ) —— N The title of this article _may sug gest to you that Miss Amanda Hatch er was ot in her habits, an eminently cortect young lady, but if you en tertain any such idea we wish to dis abuse your mind right at the begin-‘ ning of this story. To speak of her‘ existence as a double life is perhaps an unfortunate way to express it, for while she seemed really to have a dual life, one was just a duplicate of the other lived just the week before. To begin with, Miss Amanda was only a creature of the imagination of our society writer, and first made her debut into the social life of Marietta through the columns of The Marietta Journal. Other personages of real flesh and blood, and well known to the people of our little city, each week came, or went, or entertained, or were entertained, or were ill and recovered, or died and were buried, were all heralded through the ecol umns of The Marietta Journal, and even before the creation of Miss Amanda Hatcher, they too had form ed the habit of duplicating one week their acts of the week before. At times some of these real person ages may have been inclined to doubt whether they actually repeated their deeds and acts of the previous week, but when they found them recorded in the one and only organ of public ity ever claimed and warranted to be “one hundred percent perfect,” all doubts must have faded as night be fore the day. We might iliustrate cur point with hundreds of names of our best residents, but we will not make so free with their names in this article while we have our own crea ture of imagination, Miss Amanda Hatcher, who cannot resent any pub licity we may find necessary to im pose. v - So we note for an instance that in the social news of The Marietta Jour nal of October 24 appears the follow ing item: “Miss’ Amanda Hatcher is on a visit to relatives in Raleigh,‘ NG ‘ And the spirit of Miss Amanda must have been reassured of her real-‘ ity when The (/’(r)bb County Times of the following week, October 30, car ried this item: “Miss Amanda Hatch er is the guest of relatives in Ra leigh, N. C.” 1 Possibly some of the readers of The Marietta Journal may have tried to recall where they had met Miss Hatcher when it announced in its is sue of November 21: “Miss Amanda Hatcher has returned from a_pleas ant visit to Raleigh, N. C.” ' Certainly the readers of the “hun dred percent perfect” Cobb County Times were sure that they were ac quainted with Miss Hatcher when that wonderful paper announced on the following week, November 27: “Miss Amanda Hatcher has returned from a pleasant visit to Raleigh, N. C.” Knowing that The Marietta Jour nal is not “one hundred percent per fect” and therefore liable to error, its readers were not yet sure of the iden tity of Miss Amanda Hatcher when it said on December 5: ‘“Miss Ethel Newcome, of Hendersonville, N. C,, and Miss Polly” Milton, of Raleigh, will arrive this. week to visit Miss Amanda Hatcher.” | Really they must have had some doubts as to whether Miss Ethel New come of “The Newcomes” by old Wil liam Makepeace Thackeray, accom panied by Miss Polly Milton, the old fashioned girl of Louisa M. Alcott, would make a visit to Miss Amanda Hatcher this week. The doubts of every one however should be forever dispelled if that perfect weekly, The Cobb County Times, should appear this. week with the news that these famous characters had actually ar rived for a visit to Miss Amanda Hatcher. Who would dare doubt, in that event that Marietta society is being more highly honored by the presence of these personages than At lanta has been by the visit of General Pershing? However, remember this great hon or for Marietta lies entirely with that wonderfully perfect paper, THE TIMES, although we feel sure it will follow our lead and announce this week the actual arrival of these two young ladies. It is at least worth‘ your while to get a copy of this‘ week’s TIMES and find out if we are g 0 honored. . Later: We find that we have been so honored. Get THE TIMES and see for yourself. PERSONAL TO THE READER The Marietta Journal is now only one dollar per year. An early advance in price is absolutely necessary. This is to give you due notice to pay up and ahead if you would read this pa per and save money.

Al though a fight is being made to save it, the future of the post is in doubt. A-VERY ACTIVE WEEK 'Npt Only The Financial, But All | Other Phases Of Church Work Is Given Consideration ~ The week of November 29th to ‘December 7th, inclusive, has been an epoch-making period in the annals of the Episcopal Church. of America since it has marked the close of the great Nation-Wide Campaign. . This campaign has been the great est piece of conmstructive work ever undertaken by the church as a whole. No phase of church activity has been overlooked and it has been a season of introspection and re-consecration for all churchmen. ~ Sunday, November 29th marked the close of the Church School Cam paign and was fittingly observed in St. James Parish. The canvass.for new members bore fruit at the regular Sunday school kour. In the afternoon the various’ captains working under the general, Mrs. R .E. Lawhon, went out and escorted the new members to the Chapel where a line of march was formed by all the children~both old and new pupils—and the procession filed into the church where a beauti ful responsive service was read and formal welcome given to the new members. Immediately following this service a reception was held in the Chapel, where Mrs. J. W. Stokes, chairman of the reception committee, assisted by a number of church-wo men_ served hot chocolate and sand wiches. An interesting and instruc tive talk to the children was made by the Rector, after which all those present were charmed by a group of songs rendered by Miss Virginia Cros by, accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Hague. A brief prayer service for the suc cess of the Nation-Wide campaign has been held in the church every af ternoon at five o’clock. On Monday afternoon the regular monthly meeting of the Woman’s Auxiliary was held at the home of Mrs. F. H. Trezevant, preceded by a beuatiful luncheon at which Mrs. J. W. Stokes and Mrs. Herbert E. Hague were hostesses, in compliment to Mrs. C. L. Pettigrew, of Atlanta, Diocesan Auxiliary Presiden t and 'Mrs. Charles Pitner, of Rome, Dioces- L” Educational Secretary. - Quite a number of the members were present at the luncheon, others who were detailed by reason of busi ness, coming in for the meeting. Beyond the election of officers for the ensuing year no other business was taken up in order that as much time as possible be given to the ad dresses made by the guests of the day. . Mrs. Herbert Hague, chairman of the - nominating committee, presented their report, which was accepted and passed upon favorably without any nominations from the floor. The fol lowing weer elected: president, Mrs. J. W. Lewis, Sr.; vice-president, Mrs. Warren Stokes; reccrding secretary, Mrs. Margaret McWhorter; treasurer, Mrs. S. S. Maddox; educational secre tary, Miss Louise Schilling. Mrs. Pettigrew was then presented by the president, Mrs. Trezevant, and made a most wonderful address, cov ering the campaign in its entirety. She spoke of woman’s work in the past, how she has been the strong bul wark of the church, but showed by authentic statistics wherein the church has largely failed in its mis sion. She is logical and convincing, a forceful speaker and from start to finish her entire talk was a clarion call to the womanhood of the church and one that will bring sure and cer tain responses. Mrs. Pitner gave a most illuminat ing explanation of the scope of the Nation-Wide campaign and by a se ries of cleverly designed charts dem onstrated the wide purpose and the high ideals of the movement. Mrs.l Pitner is both clever and attractive, a deep thinker who has the happy faculty of imparting her thoughts clearly to others. These two ad dresses fired all who listened with renewed determination Lo stand ﬁrm-‘ ly by their convictions and church trusts and made the December meet ing of the Auxiliary one of the most memorable in the history of the or ganization. A meeting of the Chancel Chap ter was held Friday afternoon at ;the close of the regular prayer ser vice, Miss Laurie Ford presiding. ‘Mrs. McWhorter, treasurer, reported two very satisfactory additions to the funds of the Chapter, both in the checking account and in the savings deposit. i Plans were made for decorating ’ the church for the Christmas-tide and a decorating committee, dof ‘which Mrs. C. M. Crosby is chairman, was appointed. The campaign committee held its last meecting in the church at five o’clock on Friday afternoon and made !f‘mal plans for the canvass on Sunday ' afternoon. : Quite the most enthusiastic meet 'ing of the whole campaign was held ; (Continued on page twelve) WHY NOT A BREAD-MAKING CONTEST HERE IN MARIETTA This paper would be willing to give liberally toward a big prize in a bread-making contest by Cobb county girls. Why can we not have some thing liky this in Marietta? Many a girl who can make delicious fudge, “heavenly” devil's food and Welsh rarebit which will melt in your mouth can not make a loaf of bread that vrould tempt any but the stary ing. The clubs for girls organized by the United States Department of Agriculture and the State colleges emphasize bread making. Club girls are taught net only how to make a loaf pleasing to the palate and the eye, but many of them are taught to teach others and how to judge their own and others bread by a standard score ecard. Bread club girls compete with each other at local county and State fairs. They also often enter the open classes at fairs and compete with the older women. A Jones county (Miss.) elub girls did so last fall, and her bread won §l6 and a barrel of flour. She won the first prize on bread, a bar rel of flour; first, $5 in cash, on bis cuit; 10 sweepstakes, and $1 for sec ond prize on muffins. And when you stop to think about it, the prize winning girl in such a contest is herself a grand prize, and she will not have to be advertised very much for thé right sort of a fel low to find it out. Returns So Far Indicate That They Will Greatly Exceed The Mark Set By Them The First Baptist Church of this city is “oyver the top and beyond,” in the Baptist Seventy-Five Million Campaign. Sunday morning at the 11 o’clock service the pledges secured amounted to $31%,292.00, while the quota of the church was $30,000.00. A great number of members who are out of town have not been heard from and it is expected that when they are heard from the pledges will amount to $32,000.00 or over. - The puota of Georgia in the Cam paign was $7,600,000.00, but the Ten Million mark was passed Saturday morning, which means that the total for Southern Baptist will be over A Hundred Million. The following telegram received on Monday tells part of the story in this state. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 8 Marietta Journal: Georgia Baptists over two million dollars beyond quota with total of nine million seven hundred thousand. Southern Baptists over forty million and headed for one hundred million. Seven hundred Georgia churches not reported and hundreds give incom plete returns. W ithin three hundred thousand of ten million and challeng ing every church and member Geor gia Baptists reach for the higher goal. ARCH CREE, State Director. GOVERNMENT GROCEREIS ON SALE IN MARIETTA A car load of government groceries has keen receibed by the L. W. Rogers stores in Marietta and will be sold at government figures.

The play is a scream from start to finish, and all those who come out to see it will be assured a jolly evening. It is certainly a play that you cannof afford to miss. The girls have gone to a good deal of trouble and expense in getting up their play, and are going to give a minstrel that will be strictly high class in every respect.. The stage committee is working on some beau tiful effects for the tableaux, and alt costumes have been completed. They are all beautiful and very effective. Below is a brief outline of the pro gram. Tableaux Ensemble: Colonial Ladies, End Girls: Songs, dances and jokes. Intermission Play: Ebony Flats and - Black Sharps.

Reserved seats will be 75¢, and general admission, for adults, 50¢ and children, 85c¢., Ole Hansen, who, when he was Mayor of Seattie, put down I. W. W. disorders in that city, sees in Com munity Service one of the best wea pons to prevent the growth of an archy in the United Staotes. : “The industrial man,” said ex mayor Hansen in a recent interview, “wants and needs pleasure and re creation—good strenuous pleasure— pool, baseball, football and dances. He needs women’s society, too. It's the old matter of man’s need for wo man and woman’s need for man—and here is where the Community Service plan, with its varied entertainments, bringing them together in innocent pleasure, is invaluable.” It was shown by the former Mayor of Seattle that unrest is due largely to the lack of solution of leisure time problems facing men in industrial communities—men away from their homes, in many cases, without the in fluence of wholesome women. Among other pithy statements cov ering Community Service made by ex-Mayor Hanson were the following: “There must be Community Cen ters.” “A man at a dance isn’t thinking of anarchy.” » : “Social unrest is due primarily te a lack of women.” “Home is the greatest antidote for bolshevism.”’ RAINS CAUSE HEAVY LOSS The heavy rains and consequent floods on streams in this section of the state and the river towns below us have caused losses of millions of dol lars this week. Few counties but have sustained the loss of many valuable bridges by the highest water on ree ord of the weather bureau. GARFIELD QUITS DIRECTORSHIP Because of displeasure over the terms of settlement of the coal strike, Director Garfield has resigned his place at the head of the fuel bhoard.
