SCHOOLS WORKING
FOR WAR SAVINGS
Some progress is being made. Ma
rietta sold War Stamps to the value
of $978.00 during February, which is
more than December and January
combined.
The total sold in Marietta up to
March Ist was $1,828.00. But of
this amount, the pupils in the schools
bought $751. worth, which goes to
show that the grown folks are not
taking serious interest in the matter
of investing their saving in govern
ment paper.
In a number of places $l,OOO clubs
have been formed, including those
who agree to take that amount dur
ing the year. There is no lack of
money, but the something else to
make the connection between the
money and the stamp is lacking. May
that something be aroused.
The whole county has made pro
gress. There are no detailed reports
available from the chairman of dis
tricts; but the total for the whole
county amounts to $4,365, which is
nearly twice as much as was reported
on February Ist.
Faithful work is being done in the
schools. It is interesting to note the
work of the different grades. The
very young and the more mature are
rather weak on savings. Seventh A.
Grade in the Old School is ahead of
all the others. =

Cobb County feels a natural pride in

world, and according to Prof. H. K.
Hunt, President of the Seventh Dis

him at the Court House Sunday af
ternoon, “no man ever raised on Cobb
county soil has done more in conquer
ing difficulties or serving the causes
of humanity and clean government
than Will D. Upshaw.
Prof. Hunt further declared that
what this man on crutches has
accomplished should be an inspira
tion to every ambitious boy in the
county and the state.”

the formation of a literary club that
met for several years around his bed
side in which is now known as the
Macland community.
From this work many other clubs
viere organized and the Cobb County
Literary Convention was formerly
holding its meetings for several years
in different parts of the county.
His friends assert that it was chief
ly through his heroic efforts that the
various communities in the county
made literary progress, and the form
ation laid for the building of the
literary Hall and Bchool at Mac

In the current issue of the Hospi
tal School Journal of Detroit, Mich.,
MRS. J. T. McKINNEY.
In the fifty-second year of her life,
Mrs. J. T. McKinney was called to
heaven on February 12th, 1918. She
was born in Union, South Carolina,
in 1866, and while she was only a
small child her parents moved to
Walnut Grove, Alabama. There at
the early age of twelve, she gave her
life to Christ, and united with the
Baptist church in that town. In the
first flush of her young maidenkood
her heart was won and she gave her
hand in marriage to J. T. McKinney,
March 1881. Their urion was bless
ed with eicht children, five girls and
three boys, all of whom survive. her,
and “Avrise and call her blessed.”
They are Mrs. O. A. McEntyre,
Mrs. J. T. Kile, Mrs. W. B. Hill, Mrs.
H. D. Crisler, Miss Susie McKinney,
Mr. L. D. McKinney, Eddiec MeKin

She was the grandmother of twenty
seven grand children. Her husband
and children were all with her when
the end came except one son who is
in the naval service of his country.
She has another son in the service,
stationed at Fort McPherson.
For thirty-five years she lived her
quiet, faithful life here in Marietta.
Her neighbors and acquaintances
bear loving testimony to her virtue.
her last years she was a great suffer
er, but she “Endured as seeing Him
who is invinsible.” May her be
reaved husband, children and loved
ones find comfort and rest in Him
who comforted her and welcomed her
into eternal peace.

old home county was not political
and he made no reference to his race
for the United States Senate either
Sunday afternoon or in his address
on “Our American Home and Our
American Flag” Monday night, it
was natural of course, that his com
ing should arouse interest on the part
of his many friends in his Senatorial
campaign.
Will D. Upshaw, while working on
father’s farm in Cobb County, wrote
his first line for publication as a
county correspondent of The Mari
etta Journal. And after the acci
dent which kept himin bed forseveral
vears in this county, he gave himself
to the work of trying to encourage
other country boys and girls through
a magazine devoted to the welfare of
Cripples, is an article paying very
high tribute to the character and
works of Mr. Upshaw.
Length forbids our reproducing it,
but suffice to say that it emphasizes
the fact that Mr. Upshaw is a nation
al character, and that his work for
the causes he espouses is not con
fined to the state of Georgia by any
means.
He has worked in the prohibition
campaign in that state, and many
others, and his services as a speai»:eri
have been in demand by the Liberty
Loan Committees and other patriotic |
workers throughout the country. ]

With Hundreds of Men
Learning to Fly
Accidents are Few
Records of the War Department
show that from the beginning of
training in June, 1917, to February
22, 1918, the fatalities 'at military
aviation fields in this country 'have
been 51; 10 officers and 29 cadets
killed in training flights, and 12 men
Filled in unauthorized flights and
ground accidents. 3
Since the training began in the
United States, student aviators have
flown considerably more than 100,-
000 miles. Hundreds of hitherto in
experienced men have been learning
to fly. Their early flights are under
the guidance of instructors, and prior
to thege flights two or more months
are spent in preliminary ground work.
There comes a time, however, when
every student aviator must take his
machine up alone, and every precau
tion has been taken to reduce: the
number of accidents and safeguard
the aviator in his solo flights.
BAND CONCERT CONTINUES
We still have the daily band con
cert each afternoon, excepting Thurs
day-in the Park Square.
In this connection let us say that
you are a poor patriot and without
pride in your country, or you are ad
vertising your ignorance, when you
stand around with your hat on, when
the national anthem is being played.
Sick
Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, helped Mrs. Wil
liam Eversole, of Hazel
Patch, Ky. Read what
she writes: ‘1 had a
general breaking-down
of my health. I wasin
bed for weeks, unable to
get up. 1 had such a
weakness and dizziness,
...and the pains were
very severe. A friend
told me | had tried every
thing else, why not
Cardui?... I did, and
soon saw it was helping
me ... After 12 bottles,
I am strong and well.”
TAKE
Do you feel weak, diz
zy, worn-out? Is your
lack of good health caused
from. any of the com
plaints so common {0
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women who suffered—it
shouid help you back to
heaith.
Ask some lady friend
who has taken Cardui.
She will tell you how it
helped her. Try Cardui.

AMERICAN RED CROSS TO
!
ENROLL 24,000,000 SCHOOL
To the School Children of the United States:
A Proclamation
The President of the United States is also President of
the American Red Cross. It is from these offices joined
in one that I write you a word of greeting at this time when
so many of you are beginning the school year.
The American Red Cross has just prepared a Junior !
Membership with School Activities in which every pupil in |
the United States can find a chance to serve our country,
The school is the natural center of your life. Through it
you can best work in the great cause of freedom to which
we have all pledged ourselves. . |
Our Junior Red Cross will bring to you opportunities f
of service to your community and to other communities a]j |
over the world and guide your service with high and religious !
ideals. It will teach you how to save in order that suffer. |
ing children elsewhere may have the chance to live. It will |
teach you how to prepare some of the supplies which wound. |
ed soldiers and homeless families lack. It will send to you |
through the Red Cross Bulletins the thrilling stories of re. |
lief and rescue. And best of all, more perfectly than |
through any of your other school lessons, you will fearn by |
doing those kind things under your teacher’s direction to be E
the future good citizens of this great country which we all |
love. |
And I commend to all school teachers in the country the !
simple plan which the American Red Cross has worked out |
to provide for your co-operation, knowing as I do that school
children will give their best service under the direct guidance
and instruction of their teachers. Is not this perhaps the
chance for which you have been looking to give your time
and efforts in some measure to meet our national needs?
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON, President
September 15, 1917.
Of the Junior Membership of the Red Cross, Mr. Henry
P. Davison, Chairman of the War Council of the American
Red Cross, said: :
« believe a program has been made out here which is the
most important single movement that was ever started in |
America for the protection of the American public and the
future of the people.
“When I was talking with the President about the pro
gram I then said that I believed that nothing in the Red
Cross was as important as the Junior Membership work,
and that alone erm the standpoint of our own people.”
