MILITARY REGEIVES AR FAIN OB COUNTY PEOPLE Marietta did the honors on last Friday afternoon as host of the 157th Field Artillery Brigade that has been at the range during the last few months. The whole of the 319th is at the range, and one company from each the 320th and 321st, with of ficers, came over from Camp Gordon to participate. A platform was built on the east side of Park Square, and the regi ments marched around the park, forming in a double columns on three sides facing the park. The combined bands of the three regiments furnished the music, and not only the park around the- stand, but the streets around the park, were filled with spectators. The afternoon was clear and bright, and many visitors from the country stayed late enough to see it all through. The flags came on time anG were beautiful. On the staff of each was a silver ingraved band, bearing these words: “Presented to 319th Reg. Field Artillery U. S. N. A. by the Citizens of Marietta and Cobb Coun ty Georgia. We Honor Them as Our Own.” Opening and closing prayers were made by Dr. White and Dr. Smith While Dr. Patton presented the colors and General Rhodes accepted them. Mr. B. G. Brumby was Master of ceremonies, and on the stand also were a number of staff officers and citizens. Everything moved off. promptly as prearranged, and the whole was a grand success. Much credit is due the members of the committee in charge, for this enthusiastic meeting to bid farewell to these soldiers who go to France so soon. May the boys do honor to the colors, and to the many friends in Cobb County who will ever pray for their success. POWDER SPRINGS HAD A SUCCESSFUL RALLY Major Screws and Mr. Nolan Speak There to a Crowded House In Interest of War Savings. The patriotic meeting arranged by Mr. Claiborne, County Chairman for War Savings, and Mr. J. B. Oglesby, Local Chairman, was a complete suc cess. The building was crowded with people standing in the aisles, not withstanding the cold night. By request of Mr. J. E. Massey. Chairman for the Liberty Loan, their interests were merged with the War Savings. : Major Screws made a strong and characteristic appeal for loyalty and co-operation from all the people. Mr. J. Q. Nolan spoke with his accustom ed vigor and conviction. The house constantly applauded both speakers. The attention was perfect through out the meeting. Twelve members of the 319th Reg iment Band assisted greatly with stirring music. Mr. Massey took the speakers over in his car; and the transportation problem for the others was solved by the kindness of Mr. J. T. Ander son, Mr. Marchman, and Mr. Ralph Northcutt. A contest Sale for Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps is to be con ducted in Powder Springs on Satur day, April 13th, and great things are expected. BAPTIST CHURCH.

At the morning service the regu lar communion service will be held, having been postponed from last Sunday on account of the very in clement weather. "TESTRICK SHULE” JRANS OVERFLDN NTTENDANCE The “Deestrick Skule” held forth Friday night to a packed house, many were turned away. Some of the chil dren, in expressing their disappoint ment at not seeing the ‘“Skule” said, “we couldn’t even get up the stairs, much less into the auditorium.” The skulemasters part was a diffi cult one ,but Judge J. Z. Foster fit ted it like a glove. He had an easy way of solving knotty problems and could dodge any stumbling block and after the fashion peculiar to the back wood school teacher of long ago. Miss Inda Harrison was imitable as Mrs. Honeysuckle, and Judge J. M. Stone brought down the house in his in terpretation of the spokesman of an old field school committee. Messrs. J. E. Dobbs and Geo. Grif fin with two other dignified commit teemen. The 319th Field Artillery sextette sang against the “Deestrick Skule” boys, and the “skollars” voted them the best singers ,which was heartily endorsed by the audience. Mike, Mr. Jim Groves, made a hit in his solo, “The Smoke Goes Up the Chimney just the Same”, but Mike had the audience with him all the evening. Tom Wallace as the water drinker was Mike's pax“tnq as a fun maker, and A. M. Weems and Ernest Robinson were stars in their parts. % Buddy Honeysuckle, Mr. Leon Land, was a headliner in his part of the four year old little boy, whose big sister, Miss Aline Fields, was ever on the lookout to prevent his coming to grief. These two provek ed much amusement. Miss Lillian Teipel, the giggling girl, Miss Allie May Simpson, the crying girl, and Miss Mary Mell, the lisping girl, could not be excelied in their work. Gus Benson, the stuttering boy, could have done better if Mrs. Annie Warren had let him alone. There two were stars in the primer class, but since we remember the twins, Mrs. Katie Katie Maddox and Mrs. Irene Dobbs, Tom Hardage, Mrs. Hardage, Geo. Owen, Charlie Hicks, Buddy and Sissy Honeysuckle, and Mrs. Dora Simmonds, the bad girl, the entire primer class was a constel lation. Prof. Lee brought teacher all the eggs from a setting hen’s nest, and one chicken hatched in his pocket, Prof. Guthrie never did learn his grammar lesson, but his speech “On Linden” brought down the house. D?iss Nabmi Wells composition on “The Fly” and Miss Virginia Haye's composition on ‘“The Cow” were splendidly read, Mrs. Rella Harde man missed ‘“Picturesque’” and Miss Mabel Cortelyou got tangled up on “peseiging” but the teacher helped them out. William Crumbley was the best reader, in fact he was good all the way through Lance Dobbs took his whipping and reversed his position, and entered heartily into the spirit of the play as did George Northcutt and all of the “skollars.” Ernest Robinson, Miss Sallie Bat taile, Miss Odessa Gifford, Mrs. Alice 'Borgerson, Misses Lucile Law and Fannie Milam, Miss Mabel Cortelyou and a number of other ladies took part in the classes and acquitted \ themselves with much credit. . The “Skule” was for the benefit of the War Fund of the U. D. C. ‘ Much credit must be given to Miss S. C. Battaile who so successfully ‘stag'ed the play. The “Skule” will be repeated iThursday night and a big audience |is expected. The military band which was one of the leading fea tures of the performance, will play again Thursday night. FORD WANTED.

AND COURIER MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 1918. ALL FLOUR MUST Bt REPORTED 10 THE 0D DFFCALS State Food Administrator Andrew M. Soule has called on all patriotic Georgians to report the amount of flour they have in excess of 30 days supply. This will be determined by families by multiplying the number in the family by six. A family of five, for instance, is entitled to 30 pounds per month; a family of 9 to 54 pounds, ete. : Reports are to be made in.hupli cate, one copy to be sent direct to Dr. A. M. Soule, 414 Chamber of Commerce Building, Atlanta, and the other to the County Food Adminis trator, Marietta, Reports must be made on or before April 18th. Merchants, both wholesale and re tail, commissaries,—everybody who has more than 30 days’ supply are to make report. i'he object is not to take flour from parties who have it, but to determine whether more flour must be sent to Georgia for the sup port at six pounds per individual. Al ready reports have been filed cover ing enough flour to do all Georgia SIXTY DAYS, if properly distribut ed. Blanks for weekly reports of sales of flour will be sent out as soon as furnished by the State Aadministra tor. i . BERNARD AWTR#Y, Federal Food Administrator for Cobb County. . COX DIST. FARMERS BUY LIBERTY BONDS Nearly $5,000 Was Reported On Wednesday Morning and Still Reds and Blues At Work. Those energetic hustlers down at Mableton and over Cox District have put to flight the idea that farmers are not going to buy Liberty Bonds. Under the leadership of Messrs. T. J. Lowe and H. A. Glore, as captains, twelve lieutenants were appointed to work Coxes District, as fallows: T. Gresham, G. W. Glore, L. T. Mable ton, J. G. Neal, J. O. Meeler, Robert Mable, Dr. Chas. Haggard, W. P. Owen, Henry Shaw, Pink Wallis, Lu ther Gann, and Homer Pair. These lieutenants got busy, saw every man in Cox District, and SOLD 74 bonds —54,450.00 worth, and the end is not yet told, for many others are just waiting for more blanks. Now, Cox District is purely a farm ing district, there being only two or three stores in the district and not an incorporated town in it. If every militia district would do as well in proportion to popalation, Cobb would far over subscribe her quota. It will be interesting for the Blues and Reds to know that the Reds out ran the Blues down there considera bly but the Blues are coming on well too. We hope many of the other dis tricts are doing as well but they have not been yet reported to us. SENATE IS ASKED TO FIRE T. W. HARDWICK N, On Saturday afternocon Solicitor Clay circulated a petition, which was signed by a number of citizens, and was wired to the Vice President at Washington as follows: “We, the undersigned citizens of Cobb County, Georgia, condemn the stand taken by Senator T. W. Hard wick, of Georgia, against our coun try, We ask that he be expelled from the senate as a disloyal sena tor. We respectfully ask that this be referred to the proper commit tee.” On Wednesday a reply was receiv ed from the Vice President saying that according to the rules of the Senate all petitions must be present ‘ed by a senator of the state and that ‘he was sending it to Senator Hoke Smith.

COURIER, ESTABLISHED 1901 Official Organ of the City of Marietta FLOWERS HELP RAISE MORE: FUNDS. FOR THE RED GROSS A New Chairmanship Is Created to Collect and Sell Flowers. . Mrs. William Tate has been ap pointed Flower Chairman, for the Marietta Branch. « This chairmanship is the outcome of a very beautiful work accomplish ed by Mrs. Tate in the cellection and sale of Lilies of the Valley. The response by all who were for tunate enough to have beds of these lovely flowers to Mrs. Tates appeal made it posible to add during the past week the sum of $64, to be di vided equally between the Surgical supplies and the Hospital supplies, And to give to the Hospital ambu lance of the D. A. R. $5. The collection of the lilies has taught a wonderful lesson in the value of concentration of effort. Many of the contribugions were in very small numbers, as many people had only a few of the lilies in bloom. Some being as few as two, but the aggregate has been great. The list of contributors will be given on the Honor Roll next week. If any one reading this notice has lilies that can be contributed to this committee please telephone Mrs. Tate. Spice Pink, Peonies, Sweet Peas, and Iris will also be disposed of by this committee and any one growing any of these flowers cgn help the Red Cross by contributing them through Mrs. Tate’s Committee. SPRING DRIVE FOR NEW MEMBERS AND RENEWAL OF MEMBERSHIP. Beginning next week and contin uing through May the Membership Committees in all of the branches in the County will be hard at work in the effort to enroll every man, wo man and child in the eounty as Red Cross Members. The growth of the. Red Cross in the United States was told in an in terview in the “Petit Parisien”, a fa mous Paris paper, by own Mr. Ivy Lee, a son of Rev. J. W. Lee, in an is sue of February. “We organized two public meetings in the States of Oklahoma, which is our most recent state, and which only twenty five years ago was populated by Indians only. We organized conferances at Oklahoma City and at Tulsa. We had a larger audience than any where else, unless in New York City. We had asked from the committee of Tulsa 300,000 francs ($60,000). But on the first day the subscription gath ered by one member of the commit tee alone, between 9 in the morning and one o’clock in the afternocn, was 625,000 francs, ($125,000).” : “All of the citizens who subscribed to our Red Cross expressed by this act of subscription their opinion. The gift of each is the fervent, sincere, heartfelt sympathy for the cause of the Allies. This proves the perfect moral unity of the American people —its unshakable resolution that ecan be summed up as follows: All the sacrifices for victory” ‘“The Germzans have pretended that a few of our millionaires alone responded %o the appeal, and that the popular nasses remained indifferent. But do you know how many members of Red Cross is composed of in America at this time (February 1918)? | For ty-two millions! The adherents each pay $1 to our cause, excepting the School Units of children, who pay 25 cents each.” The Young Ladies Auxiliary, Mrs. N. K. Smith, Chairman, has decided to appropriate the fund already im bank made by the committee, to the Surgical Dressings committee. The next amount made by this Auxiliary will be appropriated to the Hospital Supplies Committee. The Auxiliary has decided to aban don the original plan of raising funds with which to purchase and ambu lance in view of the pressing need for funds to carry on the three great by the Marietta Branch, Hospital Supplies, Knitting, and Surgical Sup plies.
