Treat the Hun harshly, he dont
urderstand kindness.
Blue Monday was pretty generally
observed again in Marietta this week.
“Spring would be but dreary wea
ther, had we nothing else but spring.”
Pass the spring, please.
“Procrastination is the thief of
time” and many good farmers who
expected to get some of that nitrate
of soda let Feby. 4th slip by.
Another faker has been exposed—
the ground hog—but the cold will be
forgiven if the weather stays fair
Nnow.
That rest room project is still
alive. Marietta owes it to the wom
en of Cobb county, and Marietta
pays her debts.
The fuel orders seem to be un
changed and just as hard to under
stand, but you are safe in saving all
the fuel you can at any time.
The third Liberty Loan is coming,
but it is a consoling thought that it
is better to lend it to our own govern
ment, than to give to the Kaiser.
Old Carranza has managed to get
his name in the papers again by get
ting too “chummy’” with the Kaiser.
Some people will even ccmmit sui
cide for the sake of publicity.
Some fellow in Patterson, N. J.
wants to sell us a receipt for mak
ing a hen lay not less than 150 eggs
a year.
If some one will give us a hen we
will try to trade scme of the eggs
for that receipt.
Our first troop ship disaster, the
sinking of the Tuscania, with the
probable loss of more than 200 men,
has been promptly made public by
the government. Such losses are to
be expected. About 2200 Wiscon
sin and Michigan troops were aboard
this ship. Our government has prom
ised not to cenceal any disaster from
the people.
old Uncle Sam is a tough old ram,
And a tough old ram is he;
He called for his foot, and cannon
boys,
And he called for his caval-ree!
And he kicked Bill Kaiser over the
hills
And offen the plains of France,
~ Although that gent had a stove-lid
hid
{ In his pance, in his pance, in his
i pance!
: —Lawson Fields’ Booster.
- But the Kaiser awoke
. When the stove lid broke,
And his “pance” began to tear,
For Uncle Sam’s foot,
In a steel cased boot,
‘Made it sore in the Kaiser's rear.
If no better, he’s wiser,
This same German Kaiser,
Who thought he could bluff Uncle
Sam,
_And though he is madder,
And a hundred times sadder,
‘I don’t give a tinkers dam.
» —Little Johnnie.
+ Every day we see more clearly the
need of centralization of the direct
ing power of our various war com
mittees, both local, state and nation
al. Much work is being duplicated
and some confusion exists because of
lack of authorized publicity agen
ies. Only time and experience can
lear it all up.
NOT NEWS BUT VIEWS.
Sometimes a picture or a cartoon
will express more than can be put
into columns of written matter.
We picked one of our exchanges
this week and found more than a
column of leaded editorial, and a
half column headliner article on the
front page, devoted to telling about
the bad condition of the county
roads..
It was mainly criticism, and stated
that “farmers are about unanimous
in their opinion that something was
at fault with the road building and
supervision.”
But right on the front page, in an
adjourning column, was a picture
which looked like a scene from the
jungles of Africa, but which stated
that it showed the condition of the
main square of the town which had
been wrecked by the unusual weath-
Qur conclusion was that the same
weather must have extended to the
county, and hit the roads there as
well as the town.
TO MARK’S FRIENDS.
When Mark Twain wrote in the
town of Hannibal, Missouri, the sto
ries of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn,
he did not draw upon his own ima
gination, but he just wrote the living
characters into a hook.
He made a true portrayal of Tom
and Huck that will live through time,
even as history records the larger
events of a nation.
Mark Twain never dreamed at that
time, of a moving picture, and little
did he think that in the years to
come, the best talent of America,
would come back to this old town,
and reproduce in living, moving, pic
tures, the characters of which he
wrote.
But this is just what has been
done, and we notice that The Strand
on Friday will give Tom Sawyer by
Jack Pickford.
It would be unnecesary for us to
say anything to those who frequently
attend movies, but to those others,
particularly those older ones who
feel like they were the personal
friends of Mark Twain, we are sure
you will not count the time lost if
you go to see Tom Sawyer on Fri
day.
You will see him as Mark Twain
saw him.
OUR CONGRESS.
Yes, it's ours, we are bound to ad
mit, because we elected them and
gave them commissions to represent
us in the making of laws in Wash
ington.
For some of them, we still have
considerable respect and confidence,
but for the Congress as a whole, we
must say that it is not helping the
prosecution of the war to any con
siderable extent, and if they only
knew that the winning and ending
of the war, was the most important
thing in the world to the millions of
fathers and mothers and wives and
families of our boys, we feel sure
they would make an effort to act to
gether, and act vigorously in support
of our government at this time.
Let the little petty jealosies and
differences go for the time, and all
put a shoulder to the wheel and pull
our country out of this. mess. There
is no doubt in the world that much of
the present wrangling in Washington
has been cause by personal or poli
tical jealosy, the desire to take ad
vantage of the situation in which we
find ourselves in order to help this
'oue or that one in politics back
home.
Well this is a serious time, no time
for any such foolishness.
QOur people back home are in earn
est when their boys lives are at stake
and they demand that this childish
performance cease, that we put all
our lung power, and man power, and
horse power, and brain power, and
gun power, into the business of whip
ping Germany first, then we can set
tle our family affairs afterward.

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
FLYERS AT THE FRONT
ARE BADLY HANDICAPPED
Hardly a day passes but there is
some fresh illustration of the ina
bility on the part of government to
buy with money something essential
for war preparation. We are now
discovering that there is not linen
enough in the world to cover the
aeroplanes that the allies are pro
ducing. The English government has
just decidede that at least 10,000
acres of English soil must be devoted
to the production of flax, instead of
food. That government is making
terms with the farmers, which will
lead to the planting of that crop.
The illustrations are endless of the
fact that there are not labor and
materials enough to produce the
things that the people want and the
things that government wants. There
are two ways of helping solve the
problem. One is to speed up produc
tion and industry. The other is to
cut down unnecessary consumption.
By the latter method every one can
put himself in an effective way in a
| front trench. Every one can make
sacrifices that will be reflected in a
quicker and better equipment of ar
mies. The progress that can be made
by speeding up production can be
exceeded many fold by the effect
!which can be produced by a whole
nation making up its mind really to
‘help win the war. The difficulties of
equipping the army would be easily
cut in half if every individual in this
country would recognize his respon
aibility in helping to equip the army,
his responsibility to get om without
demanding new things he can get
on without, and by so doing leave a
greater amount of labor and material
to produce the things the govern
ment must have.
Every yard of linen that is bought
from today on puts the buyer in di
rect competition with the Aeroplane
Board in equipping the fleet of aero
rlanes which we hope to put over the
German lines. That should be very
plain to every one when it is known
that the need of linen for aeroplane
production exceeds the total stock
there is in the world. But the same
rule applies in almost every direc
tion that we turn.
There can be only two reasons why
men should not see in their personal
expenditure their individual responsi
bility for equipping the army. One
is a belief that a fully equipped
American army is not going to be
necessary; that the war will be won
by our allies, or it has already been
won by the exhaustion of our ene
mies. There is little in the situation
upon which to base such a belief. The
other reason must be that people be
lieve that there are labor and mate
rials enough to produce everything
that they want for their individual
uses and everything that the govern
ment must have. Absolute blindness
to what the total is when you add
two and two is the only excuse there
can be for believing there are labor
and material enough for the indivi
dual comforts and military needs of
the country. The man who is not
prepared to economize today either
believes there is no necessity for mili
tary preparedness or he will not look
in the face of the plainest facts in
regard to industrial capacity. The
government has provided the easiest
possible road for the individual to
turn his personal sacrifice into pa
trotic aid—save and buy War Savings
Stamps.

NEWS LETTER NOTES.
It is common knowledge that the
hizher the temperature, the quicker
meat will spoil, but the family’s sup
plies are not absolutely at the mercy
of the thermometer. Ice and cleanli
ness are two great weapons of de
fense. A
Low-priced foods can be made to
taste just as good as thehigher-priced
ones when cooked long, and savory
vegetables and other flavoring mate
rials added.
There is no section of the country
which can produce cattle more cheap
ly than the South, for the lands are
still cheap, the grazing is good, the
pasture season is long, feed can be
produced at a minimum cost, and in
expensive shelter only is required for
the animals during the winter months
All cereals should be kept in dry,
well-lighted storerooms. Damp, dark
cellars should never be used for stor
ing foods.
More care is necessary in fatten
ing calves than in feeding grown cat
tle, but, whenever possible, it is best
to raise and finish beef cattle on the
same farm.
The increased culture of velvet
beans in the South during the last
two years has been one of the most
remarkable recent agricultural de
velopments , according to United
states Department of Agriculture
Specialists. Heretofore the culture
of the velvet bean has been largely
limited to Florida. With the intro
duction by the department of several
new varieties, particularly the Chin
ese, and the development of other
varieties by breeding, especially the
Georgia and the Osceola, the culture
of this bean has been extended to
cover a large part of the cotton belt.
It is proved especially adapted to
sandy soils. It is estimated that the
acreage planted to velvet beans in
1916 was at least four times that of
any previous year, and it is not im
probable, according to Federal spe
cialists, that the 1917 acreage was at
least four times that of 1916.

Without Money Cost
We are all at a danger pcint. On
the use of good common sense in our
1918 farm and garden operations de
pends prosperity or our “going broke.”
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above ail others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. It
will save you more money than you
made on the best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!
Tastings’ 1918 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money sav
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the farm crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real and regular farm prosperity. It's
