GEORGIA WELL REPRESENTED
M Ql’{FlClAL A_PVISORY BOARD
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 6th.—Georgia
came off with the lion's share of
honors at the recent meeting of the
Cotton States Official Advisory Mar
eting Board in New Orleans. J. J.
grown, Georgia’s well-known com
missioner of agriculture, was elected
president of the board, and his asso
.iate, Lem B. Jackson, director of
Ihe state market bureau, was elected
ocretary-treasurer. The board is
;m,.posed of state commissioners of
acviculture and presidents of far
me-s unions in the cotton growing
ctaies. It will make a thorough study
of cotton in all its phases, obtaining
comprehensive information and data
on the subject, and will officially ad
vise the farmers concerning the mini
mum price for which they should sell
the'r cotton. Of course any farmer
will have the privilege of selling his
cotton at any price he sees fit to ac
cept, but it is expected that the con
cert of action secured by the or
canization of the board will result
in a general high level of cotton
prices.
STENOGRAPHIC BUREAU
FOR SOLDIERS IN CAMP
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 6.—Soldiers sick
in hospitals at training camps will
have stenographers to take dictation
and write their letters to their home
folks. The American Red Cross will
provide the stenographers to do the
work, at the suggestion and request
of War Secretary Baker. The South
ern Division of the Red Cross, of
which headquarters are here, will
have more cantonments in its terri
tory than any other, and is now busy
securing stenographers and making
plans for the buildings at each camp
hospital which the stenographic bu
reau will occupy.
SAVE THE HENS.
VWashington, D. C. Feb. Tth.—Ev
ery laying hen sold from the farms
before the first of May means a loss
of about 30 eggs to the food supply
of the nation. These eggs are valua
ble food, manufactured largely from
insects, weeds, and grass, garbage
and waste. The eggs, therefore, are
almost wholly a net gain in human
food. Moreover, the hen is just as
good meat after she has laid these
egcs as before.
Save the hens is the message that
the United States Department of
Agriculture lis semding broadcast
through press notices and posters and
through its county agents, especially
in the southern poultry-raising sec
tions.
Beginning on February 10th, 1918
the Druggists of Marietta, have ag
creed not to deliver any soft drinks
or cream in cones or dishes from their
stores, except to those who drive in
front of their places of business. The
reason for this is the increased cost

BASKET BALL GAME. |
In an exciting game last Friday on
Fulton High's Court, the Fulton Ama
zons met the Battalion of Death from
Marietta in one of the fastest games
of the season. From the time the
ball was first tossed up until the last
whistle the playing was fierce and it
was a thriller. '
Although the Battalion of Death
fought like tigers they could not cope
with the strong Amazons in scoring,
however, they played better ball than
the Amazons. The final score being
11 to 3 in favor of the Fulton Ama-
Zons. \
In the first ten seconds of the
play Miss Lula Kemp scored a field
goal for the Marietta Girls, and la
ter Miss Williams shot a foul goal.
Boatner, Gober and Galley played
better ball than ever before and
showed the kind of “pep’” that takes,
but neither were able to scode a
single point. Although the score
was in favor of the opposing team,
still it was not a defeat to be asham
ed of, for Marietta girls played the
best ball of the season. Too, this
does not mean that Fulton has the
Championship, for Marietta expects
to even the- thing up on her own
court.
Next Friday will find the Batallion
of Death face to face with Decatur
on Agnes Scott’s court. This bids
fair to be a thriller, and all basket
ball fans are invited to attend.

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
TO THE MEMORY.
Mrs. Lucy Wellons, beloved teach
er of the Philathea Class this little
tribute is inscribed.
It has been said “The dead have
no faults,” an in the character of our
dear friend the faults were truthful
ly few and small. Doubtless many
eulogies will be written on the life
of Mrs. Wellons, but it is in the ca
pacity of teacher and friend that we
consider her in this brief memorial.
In the early life she became a
Christian and throughout the years,
lived according to her deep convie
tions. She had a wonderful insight
into Bible truth, and truly lived the
lessons she therein learned. This
gave her that tender sympathy she
had for those in distress and made
her ministrations so helpful, so ac
ceptable.
Her heart was overflowing with the
love that “never faileth.” Always
knowing just ‘the right thing to be
done, just the right thing to be said.
In her class work she was ardent
and studious.
To be her pupil was to be her friend.
None came to the class without wish
ing to come again, for thus she held
them by a magnetic influence. She
made personal calls, or when this was
not possible a call over the phone
would give information as to the les
son, and a promise to be exacted for
atendance. She studied widely and
deeply and imparted her knowledge
in pleasing ways, and her personnel
appeals were tender and loving.
These qualities adding to the great
ness of our loss. Then her going
away was so sudden. Why it was but
yesterday we heard her merry laugh
at our fireside; saw her flitting here

It is only natural for any woman to
dread the thought of an operasion. So
many women have been restored to
health by this famous remedy, Ldydm E.
Pinkham’s Vefietable Compound, after
an operation has been advised that it
will pay any woman who suffers.from
such aifinents to consider trying it be

';li‘en came the call “Mrs. Wellons is
i 1 and before the. New Year came
to us she had entered upon her new
life eternal in the heavens, and that
fadeth not away.” ;
Thus while we gathered about her
our fairest flowers sang our sweetest
songs, and spoke our dearest words
of farewell with tear wet eyes, her
shining soul was unfolding to the
newness of glories such as “eye hath
fiot seen, nor ear heard, nor the mind
conceived.”
