We are proud of that greund hog
but he came near getting ‘“off the
jeb"” Monday.
The Atlanta Constitution in a re
cent logical editorial favors Woman
Suffrage.
Enlistments in the 'Regular Army
since April 1, 1917, have been morei
than 379,000.
Thrift is the application of effi
ciency and organization to every act
of your daily life.
Advertising b}ings very peor re
turns to the man who does net ad
vertise.
Last week some news items were
left out on account of late arrival
at this office.
We would thank our friends for a
report of news happenings that might
escape our attention.
The Marietta, Journal, more than
fifty years of successful business, is
the paper of the people, one dollar
per year.
Is it not abeut time for a second
installment from Hon. Gordon Lee
on his great political wheat club
scheme?
We have known farmers who were
guilty of having no garden, but this
is a year we hope no one can be con
victed of any such negligence.
. The War Department Commissionl
on Training Camp Activities now has
55 women deputy sheriffs werking
in vicinities of camps in all parts of
the country.
Some people put off until temor
row what they should de today, pos
stbly on the theory that they may
die before tomorrow and never have
to do it at all
' Secretary of War Baker was in
Camp Gordon and Camp Wheler on
1y a few weeks ago, and now he is
in France, proving that he is some|
“live wire”’ and believes in first hand
investigating. l
“Wets in a Panic, Appeal to Voters
%0 halt Dry Drive”, says the New
York World. Well, it’'s coming any
way, so the saloon men, even in New"
Yerk City, had better arrange to get
into a better business, they could not
find a worse one.
P m———— l
On Tuesday we received in one
mail eight copies of the Congressionall‘
Record, the dates being between:
Feby. 12 to Mar. 7, so we presume
the P. O. Department has uncovered
another car load of old unworked
mail somewhere.
There are many men in Georgia
just as worthy and loyal as W. J.
Harris, but few whe have had so
many good things just handed to
them, and we predict that the people
wéll look him over very carefully be
fore handing him the senatorship.
The period during which rye flour
may be used as a wheat flour substi
tute in Victory bread has been ex
tended to March 31, as in some sec
tions of the country other substitutes
are not yet available.
Massachusetts and Michigan chap
ters of the Daughters of the Revolu
tion are establishing “mending
-~ rooms” in cantonments. These de
. partments are opened for hospitals,
i‘ where hundreds of garments are
nded each week.
AND WHAT IF THE PRESIDENT
SHOULD DIE?
Hon. W. J. Harris comes out every
few days with a statement of his
loyalty to President Wilson, and
promising to always vote as the Pres
ident tells hitn to vote, and in all
matters to stick to the President, or
words to that effect.
Now as the termn of Senator which
' Bill seeks, is for 6 years, and extends
four years beyond President Wilson’s
term of office, will Bill let us know
from whom he expects to take his
orders after the first two years. And
then suppose Bill should be elected,
and President Wilson should die,
there would be Bill, up there in Wash
ington, and nobody to get orders
from. ' |
Now really, brethren, that letter!
of so-called endorsement by the
President, is a good deal like one of
these petitions we some times seei
carried around a community, that
don’t mean much, but is harmless,
so everybody signs it, because it's a
mighty mean man who won’t sign a
petitien. '
There is no doubt that Bill hasi
been loyal to the President in hisi
sphere, just as the President’s cook,|
or butler, or gardner, or his boot
black has been, or just as thousands'
of other good people in the state of
Georgia have been, but that does notl
qualify him to become a ‘United
States Senator from the state of
Georgia. Nor did the President ask
us to make him one.
When he came down to Thomas
ville last year to the Press Associa
tion, and got enough of the boys to
thinking he was the choice of the
President fer Hardwick’s seat, and
they all practically pledged him their
support, we think they made a mis
take.
So far as we have been able to
learn there has never been any pepu
lar enshusiasm for Mr. Harris in
Georgia.
He does not appeal to the common
people of the state, and we don‘t be
lieve the united press of the state
will be able to elect him. Nor dol
we believe that all the papers will try
to do se, and we would advise them|
to “swap hosses” right soen.
oOld Horace Greely use to say
that “by the dammable power of re
iteration, some people are finally led
to believe a lie to be the truth,” but
we de not believe that if every paper
in the state announced in flaring
headlines every day that “W. J. Har
ris is a great man” that they would
fool even themselves.
And as we said before, if by any
chance Bi#l should get tkere what
would he do if the President should
die? Would he leok to the coal mine
owners for advice? '
MOST APPROPRIATE.
We note in one of our exchanges‘
that a William J. Harris club has
been formed in Marietta, and that
it has elected as its President, Mr.
W. J. Hancock, who is President of
the local coal company.
We do not know whether the other
towns that may start Harris clubs
will follow this precedent or not, but!
we think it entirely appropriate, and
we would further suggest that the
coal mine owners be placed on the
lists as honorary member of the Har
ris clubs, in order that they mayi
show their full appreciation of that
advice Mr. Harris gave us about not
buying coal last sammer. ‘
WOMAN’S FARM CLUB ROOM.
We understand that « move is on
foot that will give those of eur mer
chants and business men who desire
to de so, an opportunity to contribute
to the support of a club room or reet
room in town, to be dcuignated as
the Womans Farm Club Room.
For this purpose a most suitable
building has been offered at a rental
so low as to make it very desirable
and it would afferd enough room
for every convenience and in addi
tion a place to locate a demonstra
tion room in the city for the Home
Economics agent.
~ Counsider the merits of this matter
and be ready to cheerfully and
promptly assist if you are solicited
}and think well of it.
| COUNTY AFFAIRS
The Auditor who has beem check
ing the books of county officials has
cempleted his work and the Board
of commissioners now have his re
perts, which will be given to the
Grand Jury, when it convenes again
on Tuesday.
We have not at this writing learn
led his figures, but frem our own
recent investigation we feel safe a
gain in assuring the people of the
county that he uncovered no ‘“finan
cial catastrophe”. We will later give
all you want to know of this.
We are glad to note that draft calls
will not further interfere with this
year's crop plamting.
We wender what has become of
Champ Clark’s “houn dawg”.

MORE GARDENS—BETTER GAR.-
DENS .
Every reader of these lines who
lives on a farm and who has a little
home plot needs to raise a garden
this year and a better garden, So
important has the food problem of
our country become that the Presi-l
dent has directed this appeal 'to
Southern farmers:—
“I particularly appeal to the farm-}
ers of the South to plant abundant\
foodstuffs as well as cotton. They
can show their pa'riotism in no bet
ter or more convincing way than by
resisting the great temptation of the
present price of cotton and helping!
upon a great scale, to feed the Nation‘
and the people everywhere who are
fighting for their liberties and for
our own. The variety of their crop's%
will be the visible measure of their
comprehension of their natienal
duty.”—Woodrow Wilson. |
Timely is The Progressive Farm

Prof. Massey offers this, his most
valuable service to Southern farm
ers when they and our Nation need

should be read and studied and its
directions followed by all who desire
to raise more and better gardens.
The Progressive Farmer is endors
‘ed by agricultural and feed conser
vation authorities as a powerful fac
‘tor for stimulating interest in rais
ing and conserving foodstuffs. The
doctrines and practices of diversifi
cation of crops amd conservation of
food products has long been a hobby
'-—it has been more, it is a positive
| passion of its Editers; who take their
duties seriously and are giving their
’\'ery lives to their work.

Next Sunday at 7:30 there will be
the Holy Communion celebrated.
Morning service at 11 o’clock, and
eveuning service at 7:30 o’clock.
Week-day services in the church
at 5 o’cleck. Holy communion en
Thursday morning at 11 o’clock.
Last Sunday the Corporate Com
munion for the School was a most
beautiful and helpful service. This
occurred at ten o’clock as the closing
service of the school.
Let it be remembered that the
Bishop will visit the parish on April
7th, at 11 o’clock. All who are in
terested in the subject of Confirma
tionwill please communicade with the
Rector at once. The class for in
struction meets on Friday at 4:30.
At any other time a meeting may be
arranged.
This is another opportunity for one
to line up en the side of righteous
ness under the banner of the Master
Christ. The free lance in Christ’s
Army does not have more ehance fer
effective service than does the free
lance of the American Army. There
is no neutral ground. ‘“He that is
not for me is against me; and he
that gathereth not with me scatter
eth abread.”
Sometimes the effect of a dis
loyal Christian’s life is to discourage
would-be soldiers from enlisting un
der the banner of the Captain of our
Salvation. This should not be. Loy
alty is a very fine thing; and not ev
ery soul is equal to it. Loyalty can
scarcely be defined; and it cannot be
eommanrded nor enforced. Each one
is responsible for his own life; and
the failure of another cannot lessen
that obligation.
The church stands fer Christianity
in this wonld. And those who think
that Chuwistianity could survive the
church are simply deceiving them
selves. The facts must be faced. Two
vast armies face each other. All
people are not in these two armies.
But forget it not; these two armies
and their soldiers are doing the ef
fective fighting,—one for destruction
and the other for the salvation of
mankind.
Miss Louise Schilling is now Parish
Treasurer, Miss Lewis having resign
ed on account of illness. It was ne
cessary for Miss Lewis to give up her
class in the school. She was succeed
ed by Miss Constamce Cole. Ran
dolph Simmonds has been appointed
substitute teacher for Mr. Cole’s
class.
