During the past year state banksl
and trust companies with resources
of $845,796,400 have joined the Fed
eral Reserve System.
The Treasury Department has
again reduced the ship insurance
rates, so that it is evident that the
U. S. Navy has further reduced the
submarine menace.
The Government war insurance
rates range from sixty-five cents per
month at awe twenty-one, to one dal
lar and twenty cents per month at
age fiifty-one.
On November 15 more than three
times the amount due on the second
Liberty Loan was paid in, although
purchasers migh t have held the
money until December 15 and Janu
ary 15 to pay balances.
Mr. Wilson again has Congress on
his hands, which means that he has
just one more gap in the fence to
wateh, but we believe and hope that
this Congress will be more sober,
serious and helpful than any we have
known before.
The preceding paragraph was
written before it recurred to the
writer that Washington had re
cent!y gone dry, and we trust that
Congress will not take offense and
place the wrong construction on the
word “‘sober.”
The Literary Digest and Leslie’s
agres with The FKree Press that W.
G. McAdoo will probably be the next
Democratic nominee for President.‘
McAdoo lived in Marietta three days
when he was a boy and learned all
about politics. — Alpharetta Kree
Press
Worse than that—McAdoo was
born in Marietta, and we share the
belief that he will be the Democratic
nominece, and also become President
of the U. S. A.
“Dooes prohibition prohibit?” asks
Mr. Dooly.
“About that I can’t say,” replies
Father Hennessy; “but I do know it
makes it wrong to take it, hard to
get it, and devilish poor after you do
get it.”’
Go to the postoffice and ask for
one of the new Government thrift
cards.
‘They are free and the cards ex
plain themselves. FEach card has a
space for sixtéen stamps, and the
stamps cost twenty-five cents each.
'Teach the children to save, and
at the same time help to win the-war.
Get a thrift card.
:Don't forget that you need some
thing more than your local paper to
get the details of news from all over
the world, and most particularly the
story of, what is going on in France.l
And remember also that you get
all this in the Thrice-a-Week New
York World and your Marietta Jour
nal also for only $1.75 for a whole
vear. Don't let another week pass
before coming to see us up stairs
over M. T. & B’k’g Co., Bank.
Sergeant Underwood of the Army
Recruiting Station at the Post Office
says he has been sending in some
voluntears, and he thinks if he could
get a chance to talk it over serious
ly with a lot of others, a great many
would avail themselves of the volun
teer route to the front. The time in
which ihis may be dome is now short.
Sesater Hoke Smith has introduc

With this issue of the Journal and
Courier, Mrs. Annie L. Carter, who
has so kindly continued to act as
Social Editor of the paper since the
change of management, retires, and
Mrs. L. N. Trammell assumes this
position. With Mrs. Carter our best
wishes shall ever go, and we feel
that the management is to be con
gratulated upon securing the services
of Mrs. Trammell. Her Phone is 131.
Make this a “Red Cross Christmas”
has been suggested, and we think it
a good suggestion. Instead of swap
ping useless gifts with your friends
this time, get something of value for
some one who needs it, some one at
the front, or some of their depend
ents at home. And help the Red Cross
organization too.
Even the Sunday Schools that are
making the most progress recognize
the power and need of advertising.
The Rome Tribune-Herald of last
Saturday has a half page advertise
ment of the men’s Bible class of the
First Methodist Church of that city.
A part of the ad is a list of mem
bers, more than 125 active and prom-\
inent business men of that town, who
know the great value of system and
publicity in business, and are now
extending these business principles
to religion.
Giving Billy Sunday all credit for
his wonderful sermons, and personal
magnetism, and spiritual power, it
has been very largely, by means of
the press of the country, that he
has been so successful in reaching
and drawing so many to his great
meetings.
HAVE YOU A BOY IN CAMP?
If so, write him that several copies
of The Marietta Journal are sent free
each week to the reading room of
the Army Y. M. C. A. at each of
the camps, and that he can find it
there. It is a good place to get your
boy in the habit of going anyway.
The secretary is his friend and al
ways ready to cheer and advise him.
Of course we would be glad to
have your order to send The Journal
directly to your boy, but it is in his
reach, whether you do this or not.
There is nothing we would leave un
done to help and make less hard the
lives of the boys in camp, and of the
Y. M. C. A. heroes who attend them
here, and who will go with them to
France and into the trenches, and
over the top, and across No Man's
Land to victory. But some must give
their lives, and all you can do for
them is not enough. Keep doing and

COVERNMENT PRESS REPORTS.
Fach week new government press
report are sent out from the various
departments at Washington, until the
number has grown so that no small
vaper could print half of them, and
even if it could, the information is
duf\licated in many of them, and con
flicting in others.
It is only by 'carefu! reading and
pruning that we are able to give our
readers a condensed and accurate
resume of this matter, which is really
important. It is not strange that our
departments, that have never before
handled publicity matters, should get
some of them mixed up, and we look
for improvement rapidly, but in the
meantime the job of getting brief
and accurate information to the peo
ple is the job of the country editor.
The publicity work which the thou
sands of papers in America are do
ing freely and cheerfully today, is
expensive, very much more expensive
than is. generally recognized by the
public, but they will keep on doing it
-and looking for more to do. This is
the time when the government needs
newspapers as never before in its his
‘tory, and it should be proud of the
unstinted support that all of the
papers are giving.
AN APOLOGY.
We have a double apology to make
this week to Mr. Ed. Nichols, man
ager of the Brumby Garage. In his
ad last week we got both ends of his
name wrong.
We made it read Edward for the
first name, while his real name is
Edgar, and he says he prefers Ed.
while the printer left his last name
in type as Nicholos, he says he has
no relatives in the troubled Greek
kingdom, but that he i§ jnst plain
Ed. Nichols, of the good old United
States. and never bought or sold any
garlic, but deals in gas and the things
that run with gas. '
The new manager of The Journal
hopes quickly to become familiar
with the correct names of our prom
inent citizens.
Saturday . night Sheriff Swanson
raided the house of Julia Towns, an
80-year-old negro woman, who lives
in the Louisville district of Marietta.
Four gallons of whiskey were found
and Julia and her daughter were ar
rested and will explain later to the
court just why they insist on carry
ing on a business which has been out-
IHE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
SPEAKERS APPEAL FOR
THE ARMY Y. M. C. A,
( Coutinued from page one )
nineteen years, was then introduced,
and made an eloquent plea for the
war Y. M. C. A.
He told of the way in which his dis
trict had met the call for funds, and
how much success they achieved. He
spoke feelingly of the devotion to the
lcause of his old mother, who during
the campaign had fallen and broken
her elbow, but who had kept the fam
ily from telegraphing him until, he
had finished the campaign and raised
more than the maximum quota for
the district.
He said America’s treasure was
her boys and with them her heart and
wealth should go also. Any man who
withholds anything necessary to win
this war has no right to be called an
American citizen, and for him who
neglects to back up the boys who go
to the front in every way, for such
there is not a hell hot enough. All
you who stay behind think of that.
He spoke of the great need for an
army Y. M. C. A. from experience,
telling how in the Spanish-American
war he had served with men from
Marietta, who could testify as to the
truth of his words. He called the
names of Boston and Brumby and
‘Roberts and Youngblood with whom
he had served as witnesses to his
words. He said this relationship
gave him the right to speak plainly
here, for he felt at home in the home‘
of these men. ‘
Georgia is one of the few states
behind with its quota for the great
war Y. M. C. A. work. With excep
tion of Athens district every one in
the state is behind its minimum
quota. Do we love our boys less than
the people of Ohio or New York?
No! a thousand times no! We have
just simply failed to organize prop
erly. He spoke of the Y. M. C. A.
general organization, of how the Red
Cross had borrowed the Y. M. C. A.
national secretary, Frederick Ward,
to help in the organization of the
Red Cross.
This was a holy and righteous
one against educated brutes. If we
fail to win American liberty and
freedom is gone and we might as well
close the doors of our churches, and
be prepared to submit to the rule of
militaristic and maddened despets of
‘Germany.
Reverting to the Spanish-American
war he said there were only a few
boys killed in battle, but thousands
returned to their homes ruined by
excesses and immorality. There wag
no Y. M. C. A. with that army, none
at Tampa, which was as far as his
company got, and the Y. M. C. A,
might have saved those boys. He
read a letter from John R. Northcutt
as to the good done by the Y. M. C.
A. at the training camp at Fort Mec-
Pherson, and it closed with the
thought that “if such good can be
done in a training camp here, what
might not be accomplished at the
front?”’
The Y. M. C. A. has made the con
dition of the present army a paradise
as compared with the conditions pre
vailing in the old army so far as
gambiing and immorality are con
cerned.
The British have turned over the
first care of the wounded to the Y.
M. C. A. centers just behind the firing
lines. There are 478 of these sta
tions, and rows of painted stakes
from ‘“No Man’s Land’’ lead back to
the Y. M. C. A. dugouts, so it is easy
to find the way. The work of John
R. Mott before our country entered
the war secured from Germany the
permission for Y. M, C. A. men to
go to the prisons and now prison sec
retaries cheer and sustain those in
prison camps. . . ;
He related the heroic action of the
Canadians at Vimy Ridge and how a
Y. M. C. A. man went among the men
at the front in the hottest fire and
distributed hot chocolate and spoke
cheering words without a thought of
self.
The men in uniform in the audi
ence were called on for testimony as
to the value of the army Y. M. C. A.
to the men in the camps, and a num
ber of them arose and responded
freely. All those in the audience
having sons or husbands or brothers
in the service were asked to hold up
hands, and many hands went up.
After singing “Throw Out the Life
Line” and a prayer of dismissal, a
large part of the audience remained
to effect an organization for the act
ive prosecution of a campaign to col
lect more funds for this noble cause.
Mr. J. H. Groves acted as chair
man, and it was decided to appoint
five captains among the men and five
among the women, who were to se
lect their own lieutenants for an im
mediate and active canvas for funds.
‘Mr. J. H. Groves was named general
chairman; Mr. J. J. Daniel, vice
chairman, and the following were ap
pointed as captains:
Mr. B. G. Brumby, Mr. John R.
Fowler, Mr. M. D. Hodges, Mr. J. W.
Legg, Rev. R. R. Claiborne, Miss
Louise Schilling, Mrs. M. R. Lyon,
‘Mrs. J. J. Daniel, Mrs. Tom Florence,
ths. J. W. Glover and Mrs. J£
Northcutt. The pastors of the cit
were added to these as an executive
committee, and plans for work ar
ranged.
i Throughout the whole meeting the
sneakers received the earnest atten
tion and approval of the audience,
and a most profound impression was
created.
It was evident that the great need
and importance of this work had not
been realized here in Marietta, and it
is the desire of The Journal to urge
its importance on other communities
also. A final report on the matter
will be made through these columns.
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
DEADLOCKED IN 4th DIS'T.
The Fourth District Democratic
convention, which has been in ses
sion for a number of days in a dead
lock over the nomination of a suc
cessor to Congressman W. C. Adam
son, has adjourned until December
11th, when it will try again to name
a candidate. The old county unit
vote plan is yet in force in that dis
trict, which makes possible the tie up
of a nomination and simetimes the
selection of a ‘“dark horse” as was
the case when Charles Edwards of
Savannah got his first term in Con
gress.
Congressman Adamson has with
drawn is resignation, so that the seat
will not be vacant at this time. Later
he will get out and take the place to
which he has been appointed, Judge
of the Court of Customs Appraisals
of New York.
We are hoping that a good strong
man who will stand by the people
and the country, may be the nominee,
and the Fourth District has many
such men. -
MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED
DOLLARS FOR BALE COTTON
On last Saturday the Journal man
had the pleasure of seeing account
sales for one bale of cotton, which
brought more than two hundred dol
lars, without the seed. True, it was
a heavy bale, but the mere idea of
getting such a sum for any sort of
a bale is most gratifying to a man
who handled cotton for several years
when the price ranged between thir
ty and fifty dollars per bale. We are
glad also to note that the owner of
that bale was our friend Mr. J. T.
Chalker, of Kennesaw, and that he
did not forget to come by and leave
a dollar of the sum for his Journal.
This is a habit we should like to en
courage among our other farmer
friends, and is always appreciated.
May his tribe increase.
