Newspaper Page TextPage Six PROGRESS MADE BY ~ THE UNITED SATES IN LAST 12 MONTHS Production of 10,000 new auto mobile trucks is in progress for the Army. The Navy ration in 1917 cost $0.438, as against $0.37684 in 1916. Qur 14-inch guns weigh near 95 tons and are over 58 feet long, cost ing $113,000. Our 35,000-ton cruiser, capable of 35 knots, will be the fastest in the world. About 60,000 officers and men are engaged in coast patrol work of the Navy. American troops permanently took over a part of the firing line as an American sector in January, 1918. The navy new has in its posses sion a stock of supplies sufficient for average requirements for one year. More than 70,000 acres of land in this country has been planted with castor plants te¢ produce oil for air craft. . During 12 months the Army hos pitals increased from 7 to €3 in rum ber and from 5,000 to 58,400 beds; 30,000 more beds are being added. There are now four times as many vessels in naval service as a year ago. The estimated pay of officers and men in the Navy for the first year of war was $125,000,060. | The air personnel im the first year of war increased from 65 officers and 1,200 men to one hundred times that number. Eleven kinds of schools have heen installed. } Seven hundred submarine chasers, built since the war, have been deliv-‘ ared to the Navy by 31 private con cerns and 6 navy yards; many of‘ these hoats have crossed the Atlan tie, some in severe weather. l Through a card catalouge system‘ 109,427 men have been transfen'ed‘ out of Army divisions into technical units to function according to indi—‘ vidual educational, occupational, and military qualifications. 1 New Japanese concerns numbering | over 100 are reported as having en-! tered ‘business at Shanghi during 1917. The Japanene population is‘ rapidly increasing, now being about 14,000. A standard system of *inspection by which Fedaral food administrators may leep a check on commercial bak ers is being worked out by the De partment of Agriculture and the' Food Administration. ? TO PUBLIC ON THE FUEL SITUATION Every houscholder, every public utility, and every industrial user of‘l coal engaged in work essential to the prosecution of the war, are earnest- | ly advised and urged to place without‘ delay ‘their orders for ccal to cover their needs for the twelve months beginning April 1. During the pust} twelve months there has been suffcl‘-i ing among consumers, and a cur tailment of essential production l)y] industires, through inability to ob-l tain necessavy fuel after the begin ning of winter. A year ago ('on-! sumers were led to believe that theyi might safely withhold their orders| until later in the year. They labored | under the impression that coal could} be bought and secured as well at one time as another. 7They were told that‘ there was plenty of coal for every body and that there weuld be plenty of coal cars to move the coal in also.‘ This advice and its acceptance by consumers was one of the contribut-i ing causes to the coal shortage with! its consequent suffering among do mestic consumers and lessening in production of commodities needed in our war activities. Owing to more favorable weather conditions, a greater quantity of coal can be transported each day from Aprit to November, than is possible in each day from November to March ‘Conditions adverse to coal transpor tation are sure to exist every winter. Su¢h adverse conditions were unus ually severe and long coatinued in the winter just passed. To an ap preciable degree, however, they have existed ‘every winter, and it is the part of folly te suppose they will not be encountered next winter. Inconvenience of paying for coalj in the spring or summer, when it will not be needed until autumn or win- | ter, should not influence any con-| sumer to delay placing his order and securing his supply. It is far wiser 40 borrow money in the spring to pay for one’s coal than to- wait until auv tumn or winter, when if the coal has not been mined and shipped, money cannet procure it. | * . The Fuel Administration, through ‘the State Fuel Administrators and local commitiees, is prepared in ev . ery reasenable way to aid public uti lities, essential industries, retail deal ers and domestic consumers, in plac i their erdersi and securing as surance of a sufficient supply of fuel. All these governmental agencies, _however, are powerless if the con sumers themselve fail to act. Again, AUSTELL ' I am sorry to have caused a feel ing of pain to any mother, especially the mother of some of our Austell boys, in my remarks a few weeks back. What I said was not through ma lice, but was meant for the good of these boys. I certainly hope ‘“Mother” may realize her vision in the years to come, and that she may not be disap pointed in the chain for there is noth ing that will speak so well for the homes, and characters of these boys in the years to come than to be able to point to them with a feeling of pride as a noble, upright, and hon est citizen—one of ‘‘our Austell boys. The ladies of the Predbyterian Church entertained with a Silver Tea at the home of Mrs. Fred Humphries this last week, for the benefit of the organ fund. There was a good attendance, and a fine contribution, about thirty-five dollars being realized. The house vas decorated with a profusion of plants and flowers, a delightful salad course with refreshments was sedv ed. Quite a number of visitors from the neighboring towns was present. Easter services were held at the Presbyterian church, Easter Sunday. Rev. Russell, pastor, preached at the morning service, and Dr. Frank Fowler, of College Park, filling the pulpit at night. The church never looked prettier, with its decorations of Easter lilies, bridul-wreath, and dogwood, giving it such a cheerfur appearence, al though the day was very disagree able. A pipe organ has just been bought by the members of this ehurch. Mrs. Slaugnter, ot Atlanta, with her daughter and son-in-law, of Ma con, were the recent guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Perkerson. Miss Elizabeth Smith, entertained a number of her friends on Sunday night with a. singing. The occasion was in honor of her birthday which fell on the following Monday. The time wgs pleasantly passed in sing ing, when the hour for leaving ar rived, the guests expressed their ap preciation of the good time, wishing for Elizabeth many happy retursn of her birthday. | Mrs. Fannie Moore, of Coweta, af—i ter spending some time with Mr. and, Mrs. D. F. Moore, is the guest of Mr. | and Mrs. O. L. Moore this week. Mr. J. D. Perkerson has purchased a motor truck to use on his farm. | The county workers have been do ing some fine work on the roads in this vicinity, of course the rain will make traveling bad for some time, but this is to expected if we ever have a road worked. Capt. Mayes with the other leaders in the worlk, reserve the thanks of the community. Mrs. John Davis invited a number of her neighbors and friends to a spend\‘the-day and quilting at her home Saturday, it being the birthday of her son, Roy, who leaves for train ing camp soon, the friendship quilt that had been pieced for him by his friends was quilted, and presented to nim. A sumptuous dinner was serv ad, and a good time in general was enjoyed. Mrs. Davis was assisted in entertaining her guests by her daugh ter, Miss Julia, and Mrs. H. L. Davis. The Liberty Loan Committee met in Austell Saturday afternoon. They have decided to mal'e a drive for fif ty-eight hundred dollars worth in Austell district. Let’'s do our best with this and the stamps. Both are to help a cause that is needing it. "We hear some complaint of the flour limit; if every one feels as the writer does, they could not relish one mouthful if they thought these boys had to go to the front, to battle for our liberty, hungry. Let’s not mur mer, but give to them gladly, we haven’t realized what hunger is, but if this war continues a year longer, some of us are going to come very near being hungry. ‘“Willful waste, makes woeful want.””-—we have wast ed too much in the past. DELLA. NEW CARD RECORD TO EXPEDITE PAY OF MEN IN THE SERVICE There is being prepared in The Adjutant @eneral’s office a new “pay card” which will be kept by the per sonnel officer and will show the pay status of the man at all times. Should a man be transferred or de tached from his company he will car ry his card with him. This is expect ed to eliminate the many causes for delayed payments of men so trans ferred, and to do away with many of the annoyances that have hereto fore existed. therefore, the Fuel Acdininitration urges every consumer to place his or ders immediately. This should or dinarily be done through the medium of supply upon which the consumer has relied in the past, If this course is followed it may be hoped that the suffering and loss of the past winter will not be repeated. If it is not done consumers will have themselves to blame. / ’ Cobb County Fuel Committee, ; Geo. H. Keeler, Chairman.

The West is getting ’em all! Elsie Ferguson will arrive in California shortly to appear in Arteraft pic tures; Cavalieri has promised to get there in late spring; Fred Stone will appear as a circus clown on the Coast at the end of his present “Jack O’ Lantern” engagement, and Billie Burke has taken her baby to sniff the California air. Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle is golf champion of the comedians. Harry Weber gave Fatty quite a fight for the money, but you can’t beat the man with the smile. A funny inci dent happened at the Country Club after the game, for Fatty asked for boiled eggs and one of these was a complete double egg; one shelled egg inside of the other, They've hunted up the owner of that laying hen, and Mr. Arbuckle says that if Biddy can be induced to pose for the camara he'll engage her as an extra. He believe in encouraging originality every time. William Russell has just bought a forty thousand dollar residence in Santa Barbara. He says it was a necessary extravagance, for not a landlord in that flower-bedecked burg would harbor his eleven canine friends. Who ever heard of a dawg with make-up?
