My future emplofrment will not take me away from Marietta, which I consider one of the most de sirable residence towns in the whole country, and where | have so many friendy. 1 wish to thank all my\(ri nds and the general publie for the patronage and support given to the paper during my association with it, and to urge a eontinuance thereof for Mr. W. L. Harris, who will now assume full control as editor and manager. The moral as well as the business support of the people is appreciated by every newspaper, and this is what I am sure the good people of Marietta and Cobb County will always give to this paper. | ‘ ; DAVID COMFORTE G e i Cheap Money Here There is one place where farmers, who wish to buy lands or improve the farms they already own, can get money on terms, and at rates, which even the big banks do not enjoy at this time. We publish on our front page this week a letter fromi Congressman Gordon Lee qalling attention to the Federal Farm Loan Bank, which has recently been declared constitutional by the Supreme Court, and is now ready for business again. Money at six per cent, for long time, is available through farm loan associations. . An association is already in operation in Cobb County with Mr. L. J. Steinhauer as president and Bernard Awtrey, sec retary. The requirements for membership are simple and may be explained by either of those gentlemen or by others who are members. A number of the best farmers of Cibb county have expressed a purpose of becoming members at once, and the money thus brought into the com munity will go a long way toward relieving the financnal stringency in the county From the west comes a wail of woe on aceount of the numbers of southern negroes, who are coming into some of the cities without money, and no jobs in sight. The Omaha, Nebraska, board of trade has appealed to the south to keep the negroes in the sonth, evidently forgetting that the negro has long Been a free man to go whither he wills, whether wel: come or not. If you are interested in things of that sort, pink knitted silk ‘“panties’’ have been promised, by those who decree the fashions for the fair and fortunate fodks, t o Sl SRRI " The soviet government of Russia must be getting particular of late.

'lf the dispatech which we quote below is true, and we hope and believe that it is, the new adminis tration has progressed a long way toward finding the cause of most of our ills, and disecovering a re medy therefor. : The farmers who believes that a-tariff wall will bring back general prosperity, or any prosperity at all to the farm, is a gréater optimist than the fel low who remarked to Noah that he did not think it was going to be ‘“much of a shower.” The dispatch to which we refer is of last Satur urday, appearing in the papers under Washington date line, and reads as follows: Washington,. March 19.—Economie -depres i sion in the United States has been linked defi- - nitely with the-League of Nations issue, it de ’ veloped today as an outgrowth of yesterday’s ~ cabinent meeting. A section of the eabinet, l it was learned, holds the view that the surest } means of relieving the present depression is by ~ increasing American sales and invgstments ‘ abroad. 3 This cannot be achieved, they-say, unless ~ America has a voice in whatever association ~ of nations results from the present discussion. According to the opinion expressed at the cabinet meeting, the condition of the American farmer and stockman is much more eritical than generally realized. It is premature to talk of ““business picking up;’ it was decided, until the farmers obtain relief. The fact also was considered that the average American does not yet appreciate that the condition of the agricul turalist, unless relieved, will be reflected in all branches of business and industry, Cabinet members admit that thus far a solu tion has not been found. It is understood now that President Hard ing, in his reluetance to designate the tariff as the first matter for eongress to consider, has had in mind its possible effect on the general world situation. The belief is increasing that a tariff wall can not aid the farmer, who is producing more than is consumed in the United States and may be injured in his chances of selling abroad if a tariff barrier is erected against foreign’ countries. Most of the farmers in this county now know right “‘where they are at,”’ and no doubt many of them realize just what it was put them there. A market for the regular, annual cotton erop— buyers, with the money or credit to pay for it—the South must have in order to be prosperous. Wheat Browers and stock raisers are in the same boat. Amicable business relations with all the world, and firmly established international law and order. to make this seeure, is the only real permanent cure for what ails us. It’s up to you, Mr. Harding. In the meantime, the people are doing the right t.hing—getting down to ‘“‘rock bottom” and hard work—without which, all the. government might be able to do, would avail nothing. If half the story of graft and corruption, which is apparently admitted by the police anq detective de partments of Atlanta, is true, it is certainly time for a clean up, and the people should see that the probe started by Solicitor Boykin is not side-tracked or interfered with in any way. O Bt 2T The ex-kaiser has objected to having his Dutech neighbors peep into his grounds through the iron fence, but the mayor, or the burgoxnaster, or what ever he is called, has told the ex-kaiser that out side the fenece is none of his business, so we conclude that even in Holland the game of polities is not un known. BETTER CONTAINERS NEEDED FOR PERISHABLE SHIPMENTS Perishable products worth mil lions of dollars are destroyed annu ally on account of breakage in tran sit of the containers in which they are packed. More than one railroad has appealed to the U. S, Bureau of Markets to help remedy this situa tion, a high official of a southern railroad stating recently that in his opinion shippers should be compel led to use containers to adequate strength, and that proper car-loading methods should be exercised. It is vastly to the interests of the shipper to use containers of a strength that will carry perishable products safely to market, and the Bureau of Markets has made many investigations and experiments to determine just what strength con tainers should be to accomplish that result. These investigations are still in progress, but the information al ready collected is sufficiently com plete to enable the bureau to advise shippers with regard to the best con tainers to use in shipping specified fruits and vegetab]es. FUMIGATING COTTON 2 Fumigating tests by the United States Department of Agriculture for tite destruction of the pink bollworm in cotton showed that- infested sged can be disinfected satisfactorily with carbon bisulphite, but that hydrocy anic acid gas at the ordinary atmos pheric pressure has not suﬂjcxent penetrative powers to be eﬁ’gctxve to a greater depth than a few inches. THE MARIETTA JOURNAL NEW WOOD-PULP INDUSTRY NOW DEVELOPING IN ALASKA Alaska is now manufacturing wood pulp. Samples of the first “run” from a new mill near Juneau, in the Tongass National Forest, have just been received by U. S. Forest offi cials, who state that this marks an other milestone of progress in pulp production for the newsprint indus try. The mill which produced this wood pulp is the first of its kind in the Territory and is operated by hydro electric power. It has a capacity of 20 tons of pulp a day with power re sources available for increasing the output to 250 tons. While not equip ped at present to turn out paper, it is the intenticn of the .operating company to enlarge the plant so as to make a finished product. The sample received is high-grade spruce pulp, but hemlock will also be ground in quantity for mnewsprint purposes. The Forest Service has tried for many years to establish a pulp mill in Alaska, but the pioneering diffi culties attending such an enterprise. coupled with the prevailing low pri ces for pulp and paper, have pre vented development of the industry. It was not until the summer of 192¢ that the first mil]l was built. Thc first run of pulp was made on Janu ary 24. “The Tongass National Forest of Alaska,” said Chief Forester W. B 'Greeley,” contains 70 billion feet ot timber, sufficient to meet one-third of the pulp and paper requirements of the United States. There is also a tremendous amount, of undevel oped water power, from which preb ably a quarter million horsepower could be obtained. An area contain ing 2 billion feet of pulp-making timber will be placed on the market soon by the Forest Service in re sponse to inquiries from prospec tive paper manufacturers.” TO TEACH BOYS AND GIRLS FIRE.-PREVENTION METHODS Keen interést in the movement by the Fire Marshals’ Association of North America to secure legislation making the teaching of fire-preven tion methods to school boys and girls compulsory is being displayed by of ficers of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, especially in the Western States, where large areas of national forests are located. This knowledge is ex pected to make the task of protecting the forests easier. Subscribe to The Marietta Journal only $l.OO a year in Cobb Connty;:- Heavy Groceries =i Feed Stuffs AT .
