Work and Save! Work, save, serve to help win the war. Buy Thrift and War Saving Samps. Cut wood! Burn wood! Uncle Sam must have coal to make guns, to carry supplies and to fire warships. Food hoarders and evaders of the food regulations are getting some se vere penalties all over the country. We hope that we will never have to print the names of any in Cobb coun ty. The wealth of America is the prize for which the Germans are fighting. Are you doing what you can to win this war “over there,” and to bring the victory to our boys soon and com plete? No brewer or saloonkeeper ever wrote at the end of a letter of recom mendation for a friend seeking em ployment—‘“and he drinks.”—Bryan. Harris is complaining that a com bination has been formed against him. Yes, Schley Howard and “Old Man People.”—Covington News. WE 'ARE NOT SACRIFICING YET When we read the stories of how scarce food is in Germany,and no doubt they are true, when we think of all the German people have sac rificed already, and think of how much they have at stake in this war, can we believe that they are ready to quit and give up? They know that if they come out of this war defeated that they will not have a friend on the face of the earth. Even the despised Turk will be considered polite society, where Germans are barred. Knowing this you can not be sur prised that the Germans are making such a desperate fight to win. And we might as well get all our forces together for the struggle to defeat them, for it is going to take serious work, and universal sacrifice on the part of all our people. We are not at all pessimistic about the result but we just want to see all our folks cut out the waste, no mat ter in what form, whether of food, or gasolene, or whatnot, and getright down to business and win this war, and save the lives of thousands of our boys over there. CHINA BY A CHINAMAN The men’s Bible Class at the Pres byterian Church on Sunday morning will have the pleasure of hearing a talk on China by a native Chinaman. This man is well informed about the affairs of the Celestial Empire, as he reads the papers from that country, and at the same time is much interested in the Church in this coun try, and what we are trying to do for China. At this dme China is the topic of study by the class and all are urged to come and bring visitors to hear this talk. The speaker is a member of the class and is none other than our re spected fellow townsman, Handley Lee. Give him a hearty greeting and let him feel that our interest in his na -tive land is genuine. CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Alwa'y;:e bears Ml Signature of A m THE PRESIDENT IS NOT RUNNING FOR SENATOR A peculiar situation exists in the conduct of the campaign of William J. Harris. Harris himself is now protesting loudly that the President’s name should never have been brought into this campaign, and yet for more than a year he has been running on the plea that he had been selected by the President. And almost the only argument now uttered by his supporters in his favor is: “The President has selected him.” We cannot believe this to be true at all. We feel sure that the Presi dent preferred Harris to Hardwick; we feel sure that the President felt kindly toward Harris; we feel sure that he so expressed himself, both to Harris, and to others, but we feel just as sure that he did not “select” Mr. Harris for our next Senator. The President at one time was perhaps led to believe that Mr. Harris would be acceptable to the people of Geor gia, and he probably hoped there would be no campaign in this state, by a multiplicity of candidates, but most assuredly he never said to the people of Georgia: “I have selected your Senator.” We feel sure that by election day there will be no multiplicity of can didates in the race, and we feel just as sure that Mr. Hairis will not then be a candidate, and that the man “se lected” by the people of Georgia for Senator will be just as acceptable to the President as Mr. Harris could have been. The President has said that as be tween loyal Democrats he will not in terfere, and we do not believe he will find occasion to do so in Georgia this year. THE HONOR ROLL The following states have ratified the National Prohibition Constitution al Amendment: Mississippi, Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Da kota, Maryland, Montana, Texas, Del aware, South Dakota, Massachusetts, and Arizona. Oniy one state so far has voted against it, and that was by the Leg islature (not the people) of Louisi ana. Let the first business of the Leg islature be to put Georgia on the Honor Roll. Express your hatred of Germany and her ways by buying War Savings Stamps on June 28th. GEORGIA’S STAR IN THE FLAG Did you know that Georgia had a star in Old Glory? Of course there is one there for each state in the Union, but did you know that one particular star in the flag represents your state? And do you know which particular star is for Georgia? No perhaps you never heard of it, but it is a fact. Georgia’s star is the fourth star in the top row, counting from the left, starting next the flag staff. The stars designate the states in the order of the states’ ratification of the Constitution, Georgia being the fourth state to do this. The top row represents these states in order, Deleware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, and South Carolina. War Saving Stamps steadily in crease in value. The Editor made a most enjoyable visit to Acworth on Monday after noon, accompanying Mrs. Sawyer and Miss Eva McGee, the Government's Cheese Specialist. Miss McGee made a most interesting demonstration of making cottage cheese for a number of ladies at the club house, while the Editor was entertained by Brother Mr. Ray has a most delightful little home on the hill overlooking the town Ray, of tha Feur Ccunty Post. and and a visit to his garden shows how a country Editor may live well at home despite the price of grocer ies. We can not help wisking that in this country there were more citizens of his type, they would be the solu tion of the food problem in the land. Before returning we had the pleas ure of trying some of the cottage cheese from the club room, and we can now attest to the attractive ap pearance and the delicious food qual ities of cottage cheese. If you are looking for something different, a new food, we ask you to get acquaint ed with cottage cheese. - - We trust that when Miss MeGee is through with her demonstrations in this county that all our people will be making and eating this great sub stitute for meat.

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER “AUTOMATICALLY” Cne of our exchanges that has giv en Gordon Lee the title of “our hard fighting congressman’’ says last week that ““if”’ Mr. Lever of South Caroli na should retire from the house, and “if”’ the Democrats sheuld control the next house, our hardfighting con gressman will “‘automatically” be come chairman of the agricultural committee. 5 That is exactly correct. The word automatically describes it well. Not by any reason of fitness should he be made . chairman of this committee, but just by reason of having been a member of that committee longer than any other Democrat on it. This is one of the “automatic rules of congress that ought to be changed. The country has already suffered much by reason of these “automatic” promotions. Some of the chairmen of great committees in congress to day, know and care about as much about the business as a hog does a bout Sunday. We do not say that “our hardfight ing congressman does not know any thing about farming. We understand he owns quite a large estate up near the Tennessee line, and the National Reservation, where the government has built a lot of nice roads, but we do say there is or ought to be some one on the committee who knows a lot more about farming than he does. And, furthermore, the chairman of the agricultural committee should not be automatically elected, but should be selected by reason of some special fitness for the place which we do not believe ‘‘our hardfighting congress man’’ posesses. The above editorial is from our issue of May 24th and it now appears that President Wilson thoroughly a grees with our view of the matter. Mr. Lever was about to enter the Senatorial race in South Carolina. Our Mr. Lee was the senior Demo crat on the Agricultural Committee next to Mr. Lever who was chairman. Mr. Lee would therefore “automatic ally” hecome chairman if Mr. Lever retired. But Mr. Wilson has written Mr. Lever a letter asking him not to re tire, calling his attention to import ant matters to be handled by the Ag ricultural Committee, and the need of a good man at the head of the committee. Mr. Lee has been in Congress since March 4th, 1905, and if he is not yet qualified to become Chairman of the Agricultural Committee he should seek other employment for which he can qualify. But the President evidently knows Mr. Lee better than some of the folks of the seventh district know him. Cut wood! Burn wood! Uncle Sam must have coal to make guns, to carry supplies and te fire warships. We predict the next German move will be to sneak up close enough to throw a few shells into some coast city, but this will have no war value to the Kaiser, and will hurry our people in war work. Harry Lauder says that the Ger mans are enemies of both man and God, and that the Lord never com manded us to love His enemies. Emmett Shaw, the Senatorial can ‘didate, was in Cobb county on Wed nesday. Emmett says if the South Georgia people could know what &ert of claims to South Georgia Harris is making in this section they would certainly be surprised. How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For Woman’s Use. A visit to the laboratory where this ‘uccessful remedy is made impresses ven the casual looker-on with tge reli abrlity, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman’s ills. Over 350,000 pounds of various herbs are used anually and all have to be cathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub stances are at their best. The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs. Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as a final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pa'teurized and sealed in sterile botties. It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in its preparation which has made this famous medicine jo successful in the treatment of ‘emale fils. The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegsotable Com iqound which we are continually pub ishing attest to its virtue, EQUALITY OF SACRIFICE. The New York Times recently said editorially: “No man or woman Wwho has ac quired a Liberty Bond is relieved from the duty of buying War Sav ings Stamps. To leave the Stamps plan of lending money to the Govern ment to those of narrow means and to the young people, is to be careless of the cause of America and her al lies. “Does the average man or woman who earns a substantial salary or good wages have any idea of the sac rifices made by the small investors in War Savings Stamps to do their ‘bit’ in the war? “It is often a story of silent hero ism. If those in fairly easy circum stances emulated the very poor whose souls are filled with unyeilding res olution to do their share to win the war,,what a boom there would be in the Government’s receipts from sales of War Savings Stamps.” Now is the time for every one, no matter what his station in life may be, to make as great a sacrifice for his Government and for humanity as is made by the most humble of our citizens, Every one on or before June the 28th should pledge himself to save to the utmost of his ability, and to buy War Savings Stamps with his savings. - There should be an equal ity of sacrifice. Cut wood! Burn wood! Uncle Sam must have coal to make guns, to carry supplies and to fire warships. OUR FRIEND—THE ONION A writer in the July Woman’s Home Companion pays the following tribute to the onicn: “Halt a length behind the radishes the green onions reach the table. Some of us rejoice volubly; the rest turn up their noses eloquently. The onion arouses no feeling of modera tion. Best loved and best hated of all the garden tribes, he goes serene ly on his conquering way. The onion is not sensitive to the opinions of others; he makes others sensitive to himself. In his mature form, round and slightly flattened at the poles— like the earth—he displays a similar cosmetic imperturbability. Unlike his childish contemporary, the radish, the onion is no plaything of an hour. He claims winter storage among the solid citizens. We find his name close linked with that of Honest John, the potato, in any enumeration of our staple vegetables. First on the table, last in the cellar, and strongest on the menus of his countrymen! He has a public career. We find his name in the papers, making a figure in the market reports. The onion is in Big Business! Incontestibly, our plebe ian friend gets there.” PROFESSIONAL CARDS D. W.

MARIETTA, GEORGIA Friday Morning, June 21st, 1918, HORSES STILL USED IN WAR In the June Farm and Fireside 3 writer says: “There seems to be a rapidly in creasing opinion that the day of the horse in war has passed. The nearly four years of warfare in Europe has shown this to be an entirely erroneous idea. i : “If the army is operating on con quered ground, this ground generally is so cut up with old trenches and shell holes that horse traction, and only horse traction, is practicable. “So well are these conditions re cognized that, in spite of the tremen dous weights of heavy artillery ma terial and the slowness and difficulty of moving them by horse traction, it is considered that only half the heavy batteries should have mechanical traction. “An army must still have animals for all its cavalry, the usefulness of which is far from disappearing; it must have horses for all its light field artillery, half its heavy, and all its regimental and divisional trains for supplies.” v AP TR A R S Buy War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps—help save this coun try from the vice of extravigance.
