§&e - FOR COBB COUNTY
‘l‘3‘: county is especially fortu
‘mate to have placed in it the Home
- Pemonstration Work by the State
‘m College of Agriculture and U. S. De
w of Agriculture. This work
Ԥs entirely supported by the State
College of Agriculture and U. S De
_partment of Agriculture and will not
@ost the county anything. Never be
fore has the help given by this work
been needed and appreciated moref
than now. Production not only needs‘
%o be stressed but marketing to a
Bbetter advantage is need and thatl
ean not be expected until the pro
duets produced are put up in a mar
ketable condition.
The need for better health, more
convenient homes, better food, and
smoré attractive homes and communi
fies is very much felt at this time.
A better agricultural contentment is
he purpose to be striven for and this
ean not come without better under
standing of the home and remedying
of conditions around it.
The county is doubly fortunate in
having Miss Grace Anderson, of De
eatur, Ga., to carry on this work,
Miss Anderson is a young women
witk strong personality and splendid
educational qualifications with expe
wience in practical work.
Miss Andeérson comes here from
¥Floyd county where she did some of
the best work that has been done in‘
the state. The people of Floyd are
wery much grieved that it is neces—‘
sary for them to give her up and
only agree to do it for a time. The
girls ander Miss Anderson’s direc
tion won a very large share of the
premiums at the ' Southeastern and
State Fairs last fall. Her organiza-!
€ion of the girls and women of Floyd
is not surpassed by any in the state.
Miss Anderson will do splendid
work in Cobb if the women and girls
wil] do their part. Their part is to
want and ask for assistance and lend
eo-operation. The county can not
Be entirely covered because Miss
Anderson will do some work in
Cherokee as well as Cobb., A few
centers will be selected and as much
work carried on as possible. She
will have her office in Marietta, in
the same building with the county
schoal superintendent and the
County Agent will be here next
week. Miss Anderson will like to
meet you personally and will appre
ciate your help and be glad to lend
all the assistance possible.

FARM BUREAU'S IN EVERY
COUNTY IN STATE IS PLAN
Farm Bureau Federation Is Given
Boost at Meeting Held in At
lanta Last Week.
Atlanta, Ga., April 6—New life
was injected mto the Georgia Farm
Bureau Federation at a meeting of
€he advisory board in Atlanta dur
ing the past week, and it was voted
to push the organization work in
wvarious - counties throughout the
state with a view towards forming
a county farm bureau in every coun
£ty in Georgia as rapidly as possible.
James W. Morton, of Athens,
chairman of the board presided at
The meeting which was wel] attend

the state. The resignation of Presi
dent R. A. Kelley, was considered,
But aftr much discussion, the board
refused To accept it, and President
Kelley was induced to remain in the
presidency. 1

any other agricultural organization
or institution in the state. |
Reports from the various officers
were heard, and it was shown that
the federation was making good
progress, and that a numher of coun
ties were anxious to have farm bu
reaus organized. Several organiz
ers of the federation have been sent

in these counties and aiding in per

~ NATURE'S MONARCHS l
~ In the far north woods stands
stately monarchs—Nature’s gpires
piercing the blue firmament, whose
limbs sway and quiver to the song
of the gentle Southern breezes and
wildly battle with the forces of the
icy blasts from the North. |
In winter their cloak of dark green
is all but covered with shimmering
crystal jewels, while the summer
sun’s hot rays gre parried and re
flected, that those who rest beneath
may enjoy the luxurious shade of
this zephyr fanned land. Countless
generations have these mighty pat
riarchs looked down with condescen
ding interest upon th€ passing of the-
Red Man as the White wave of civil
ization swept onward, bringing with
its prograss the ringd of the axe,
the deep throated oats of the pion
eers and the sweet voices of their
wives and children, |
Asr now these noble spruces, pines
and their forest brethren, who have
survived the home building of the
settlers of this rich land, gently sigh
with the wind as it brings tidings of
another horde of aggressors—husky
wood-choppers, lumber jacks—men
who by their sweat and brawn earn
their daily bread, leveling to the
song of the ringing axe the stately
guardians of a romantic land. e
~ As passing royalty, so with these
grand old trees. To feel the pierc
iing of the sharp axe blade as it cuts
| clean and deep to the very heart,
' slowly weakening under blow fol
lowing blow, until tottering it finally
. crashes to earth.
| Its limbs are cut off one by one,
'and it lies upon the cold earth, with
|its luxuriant mass of green foliage
' shorn—a brown trunk to be sawn in
' to sections and await the melting of
' the long ribbons of silvery ice that
' wind along the base of the hills,
‘winding in the directon of farms,
hamlets, towns, cities and all that
{ these monuments to civilization re
" present.
With the coming of spring, the re
turn of feathered songsters, thé
bursting forth of the green buds and
the appearance of thousands of vari
eties of wild blooms, the ice breaks
and floats away to the South, |
Activity is resumed as men haul,
drag and roll these logs to the
stream’s edge, where they are one
day pushed into the cool green
depths and swept away southward
on a journey which carries them
through many vicissitudes.
Thus do we commence the jour
ney which will lead us through the
most interesting and important in
dustry—the manufacture of paper.
It seems criminal to cut short the
lives of hese beautiful scions of Na
ture, the result of years and years
of nourishing; but, like each one of
us, who are but placed upon this
earth to serve, to perform a certain
share of labor which fits into the in
finite order of things, we must con-,
tribute as is planned and then pass‘
on,
Certainly no greater achievementi
is possible than the - contribution to’
the enlightenment of the world, to
familiarizing the masses with the fine
arts and works of those who have
served, by carrying the printed word
through the ages. How many of us,
we wonder, setve as well as do these
forest monarchs?
AS THE COLONEL SEES IT.
Commenting on the statement of a
London suffragist that ‘“women can
keep men out of war,” Colonel George
Bailey says:
“Of course. All nature proves
that. Let two roosters occupy a lot
and they will be friendly. Let one
little brown hen fly over, and the
fight is on.””—Atlanta Constitution.

Autommobile racing has proven
one of the biggest drawing cards as

which have been held annually for
the past four years during the open

This year the Automobile race
program has been scheduled for the
opening day and since the first of

other track in the Southeast,
Four thousand dollars has been
hung up for the one day of racing
and already promises have been se
cured from the owners of at least
six fast mounts that wintered in the
