BY SMITH-LEVER BILL
The bill known as the Smith-Lever
bill is regarded as one of the most
important and beneficial measures
passed by the Legislature at the ses
sion just closed. The measure car
ries with it an appropriation ot
$25,174.00 for the year 1915 and
$46,150.00 for the year 1916, the
purpose of which is to meet the ap
propriation by the Federal Govern
ment for the same period amounting
to $91,000 as provided in tHE bill
which passed Congress August 14th,
1914, making a total sum of $162 -
628.00, which, according to the
terms of the act shall be used for
agriculture extension work and in
struetion in home economics in all
the eounties of Georgia.
This measure does not conflict
with or Jiscontinue the appropria
tion of $80,000.00 already made by
the United States government for
farm management work or farmer’s
co-operative demonstration work.
In addition to the amounts men
tioned above the government usual
ly increases the amount by $lO,OOO
until the year 1922 when the amount
will reach $182,020.00 which will
come into the State from the United
States government, all of which shall
be used to help those farmers ana
their families who are unable to take
advantage of a course in Agriculture
at the College and higher institu
tions of learning.
This bill was introduced by Repre
sentative Fred Morris, who worked
earnestly for its passage. His work
in behalf of the measure has been
extensively commented upon by the
Atlanta papers, both in their news
columns and editorially and the fa':ti
that the measure is now part of our
lawe is gratifying to its author, no
doubt.
FLAG RAISING AT SANDY PLAINS.
The D. A. R. of Marietta did not
appear to take part in the ceremony
cn account of delay in receiving no
tice of the hour and not because the
ladies did not feel a cordial interest
in the event. Miss Mabel Cortelyou
wlo has made inspiring addresses ou
similar occasions was in Califor
nia and Mrs. Graham did not know
when to appear on the scene,
Dr. Rembert Smith had a letter in
the Atlanta Constitution recently ad
vocating a law to compel all schools
o have a United States flag where it
can be seen and saluted by pupils
daily. This is the best way to in
sure an early acquaintance with and
a reverent appreciation of the stars
and stripes and what the flag means,
SWIMMING POOL FOR MARIETTA.
Mr. Pierre Camblos and Mr. J. R.
Prumby are building a first-class
Sswimming pool on Church st. near
in. It will be 55 feet long and 21
feet wide with smooth concrete floor,
dressing-rooms, hot and cold shower
baths and plenty of towels.
The opening night will be an in
teresting social event. Tickets are
now on sale in all the drug stores
in town and a system of voting for
the mo,t popular young lady has
been arranged. Books of tickets will
also be on sale at lower rates than
single tickets, ol time, iy |
The young lady receiving most
Votes Will select her swimming part
fier and be the first one to enter the
(rystal water. Every one receivinz‘
€ven one vote will be allowed to
select her partner and take a swim
Cn the opening night.
Mr. Camblos and Mr. Brumby are
real benefactors in supplying a wat
€ring-place right in the midst of Ma
rietta, Sea-breezes are the best
things im nature with “power to
Guiet the restless pulse of care’ as
the poet has it but the effect of zep
¥rs and even electric fans is super
ficial and temporary. A swim in
00l waters with a shower bath af
lerward is really akin ‘“to the bene
ction that follows after prayer”
bccause it soothes and sweetens the
*Dirit as well as the body. Being

MARIETTA AND SGUTHERN BELL
TO PLAY HERE SATURDAY.
On Saturday August 14th, the base
ball fans of Marietta will be given
the opportunity of again seeing tne
fast Southern Beil team of Atlanta.
This is the second game with this
team and it will be remembered that
on their last appearance they gave
the home boys the worst beating they
have ever had either before or since,
The Bell Team has on its pay list
a large number of star College and
semi-professional ball players.
Such men as T, Montague, the fast
est amatuer we have ever seen—our
old friend Henry Clay Burr the best
amatuer the world bar none. This
boy is ready right now for fast pro
fessional ball—we don’t know of
any one we would rather see on the
Marietta team, or that we hate to
see playing against, quite as much
as we do this boy.
Some of the other stars are Fox
Montague, all southern ihfielder—
“Doe” Witherington who' is some
catcher—ask Canton.
Jim Senter, Georgia-Tech’s crack
pitcher and a great many more--there
is not a weak spot on the team.
To offset this galaxy of stars, Ma
rietta will use the great and only
“Marvel” Rucker—the greatest of
them all, by gum—Nappie is goin,
great guns, these days. We respect
fully call your attention to the first
Canton game. If anybody can muz
zle the Krupp guns of the enemy, we
believe this boy can do it. What he
ais’t got ain’t worth having. As he
fays he “hain’t never been beat.”
This will be the best game of the
season. Admission two-biis.

university, will speak to the Baraca
class at the First Baptist church next

As he was fermerly superinten

an interested audience and his ad
dress will be well worth hearing.
MR. W. L. RICHARDSON WANTS
HON. GEO. ANDERSON TO RUN.
Marietta, Ga., Aug. 10th, 1915.
Editor Marietta Journal, |
Marietta, Georgia.
Dear Sir:-
1 note in the issue of the Marietta
Journal of July 30th, & letter signed
by “One Who Is Interested in Good
Government’’ vigorously indorsing
Honorable George D, Anderson, of
Marietta as a candidate for Judge
of the Superior Courts of the Blue
Ridge Circuit.
In my humble opinion there is no
member of the Marietta, Bar, nor
the Bar of the Blue Ridge Circulr,
better qualified in every respect to
hold this high office, than Honor
able George D. Anderson. He had
considerable experience at the bar
of the Courts of the Blue Ridge Cir
cuit, and it is well known among
those who have come in contact with
him that he has a profound know
ledge of the law, both civil and crim
inal and is otherwise qualified by
temperament, etc., to make a most
satisfactory judicial officer. Mr.
Anderson being a man of unassum
ing and quiet demeanor has never
taken a decisive stand in the faction
al polities in this Circuit and for
+his reason, among others, I consid
er him to be the proper man to be
elected Judge of our Superior Court
for the next term.
Let us all get together and by our
combined efforis place this eminent
lawyer on the bench. ‘
Yours very truly,
| w. L. RICHARDSON.

WESLEY BARACA NOTES.
Last Sunday the Treasurer’s re
port for the period ending July 21st
was read. It showed the financial
condition of the class to be in very |
good condition.
Mr. Walker White's talk was fine,
practical and much to the point. Mr.
White comes from Emory College and
from his way of speaking it was easy
to see that he is accustomed to talkl
to young men for he knew exactly |
what to say and how to say it. |
For the coming Sunday, Presidenl’
Baldwin has arranged for Miss Hat
cher, of Macon, to be with the Ba-i‘
raca Class. ;

meeting Monday night, every mem
ber being present. Much business of
importance was transdcted. A num
ber of ladies came later to the Rec-|
tory and there was a social half hour,
accompanied by music and refresh
ments.
May we remind thoze who drifted
from the School during the warm
weather that Autumn is nigh, and it|
would be a great pleasure to see them
drift back.
Arrangements are being made for‘
heating the Church with steam next
winter. An active campaign will be
begun at once towards building a
suitable Sunday School room.

Profit-Sharing with Retail Buyers.
On August 1, 1914 we made the announcement that if we
could make and sell at retail 300,000 Ford cars between Aug
ust 1, 1914 and August 1, 1915 we would share profits with
the retail purchasers, to the extent of from $4O to $6O on each
car. We have sold cver 300,000 Ford cars in the time speci
fied, and profit-sharing checks of $5O each will be distribut
ed as rapidly as possible after August 15, 1915. Retail pur
chaers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing cou
pons, properly endorsed, should do so without delay.
Our plan to profit-sharing with retail purchasers of Ford cars
during 1914-15 has been most successful. We thoroughly
believe in it, but, realizing the uncertainty of conditions gen
erally makes it advisable to defer any announcement of fu
ture profit-share until a later date.
We are, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs
for several months, and therefore can offer no profit-sharing
for cars delivered during August, September, October, 1915.
Freight has also been reduced $lO from last year.
