UNGLE SAM’S ROLL

Any Left Out Will Be Reg
istered Here On July
16th And 17th ‘
From start to finish, the Cobb
County Baby Registration week was
2 howling success! Tut, tut! Perhaps
that is the wrong term to use in this
connection, for most of the babies
were as good as gold, and there was
precious little howling done. But the
week was a success—an unqualified
success—and the committe of ladies
under Mrs. Hewitt, the doctors, and
the trained nurses, feel rewarded for
their untiring efforts.
Three hundred and forty-eight
(Cobb county babies were weighed,
measured, and thoroughly examined
by the doctors; and their registration
cards given them to keep, while a
most careful record is kept by the
Government. While the average of
health was high, there were some ab
normal conditions found that can be
easily remedied, now, but might have
resulted seriously if left uncorrected.
For instance, there were a number of
cases of adenoids, ears affected, mal
nutrition, inanition, ete., found by the
doctors; there was one little fellow
partially paralyzed, whose family had
not realized what was the matter; and
there were cases where the eyes need
od immediate attenion. But the great
majority were as fine and fit as the
heart could wish, and Cobb may well
be proud of her rising generation.
There are scores of children under
six still to be registered however, and
Tuesday and Wednesday, July 16th
and 17th, have been appointed as the
extra registration days. Every moth
or who was not fortunate enough to
take advantage of last week’s oppor
tunity, is urged to come then.
This Child Registration is, perhaps,
the most fascinating and worth-while
war measure adopted by Uncle Sam;
2 work that means not only better
babies, but better, healthier, wiser,
and more beautiful men and women
in the future. Surely no one will be
a slacker in this cause.
Great credit is due the hard-work
ing Child Welfare Committee headed
by Mrs. Hewitt; the doctors, Nolan,
Malone, Perkinson, Harris, Elder, and
Hagood ; the trained nurses, Miss An
derson and Mrs. Greer; and the girls,
Misses Emma Katharine Anderson,
Allene Fields, and Aimee D. Glover,
all of whom gave of their services
without stint.
MRS. D. C. COLE,
Publicity Chairman.
HAPPY DAY AT COUNTY LINE
Messrs B. G. Brumby, J. Z. Foster,
and J. J. Daniell were invited out to
the Children’s Day exercises at Coun
ty Line Churcr on Sunday, and they
heartily enjoyed the speeches, recita
tions, and drills made by the well
trained children. Another happy fea
ture of the day was the excellent
singing. For forty years the County
Liners have met every second Sunday
for community singing, and the con
sequence is a chorus of splendidly
trained voices. Mr. J. H. Terry is
leader of the choir and Mr. Irvin
Hadaway is the children’s instructor.
A delightful picnic dinner was served
on the grounds.
Incidentally, the three above nam
ed Marietta men made addresses too.
Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Hadaway and
Mr. Homer Lewis were other Mari
éltans attending.
CHILDREN OF CONFEDERACY

thy Milam, Corresponding Secretary;
and Helen Griffin, Publicity Agent.
We want every boy and girl whose
grandfathers fought for us. to be
Present at our next meeting, which
%ill be held at the home of Mrs. Es-
Mer Mayes, on the first Tuesday in
August,
HELEN GRIFFIN,
‘ - Publicity Agent.
Forty-One Silver Stars And
One Star Of Gold On
Service Flag
Service Flag Day was fittingly ob
served last Sunday in the lecture
room of the church, the exercises
taking the place of the usual lesson.
The committee had draped the wall
back of the superintendent’s desk
with white cloth and above that was
a large U. S. flag and a portrait of
Woodrow Wilson. Hanging on the
draped cloth was a beautifully exe
cuted roll of those from the school
who are in the service of our coun
try. This fine piece of draftsman
ship is the work of Mr. T. N. Hemp,
and appropriately framed, it will con
tinually remind the school of the
names represented by the stars in the
service flag. The room was filled
with interested listeners and the pro
gram was carried out as published in
last week’s paper.
1 This beautiful service flag was
the work of Mrs. J. L. Turner, who
‘was assisted by Mrs. Fred Morris.

Miss Cortelyou’s reading from Van
Dyke and Miss Helen Faw’s recita
tion, “That’s My Boy,” were well
chosen and well rendered, and Miss
Patton’s solo, “Dear Lad O’ Mine,”
touched many hearts.
Mr. Fred Mortis, in a short address
full of patriotism and deep feeling,
presented the flag to the superinten
dent, Mr. Montgomery. He spoke of
the forty-one stars, each representing
a life devoted to our country’s need,
and with emotion referred to the sin
gle gold star among the number as
standing for the life of Harrison
Smith, a member of the S. S. and be
longing to his class. Mr. Morris voi
ced the prayer of all present when
he expressed the hope that “none of
the other blue stars might turn to
gold.”
After the service flag was placed in
position, the roll was called and there
were responses from the nearest of
kin, such as “Father here,” “Mother
here,” or “Father and Mother here.”
In some cases an uncle or an aunt or
a friend responded, each response
showing there were loyal hearts at
home upholding the workers ‘“‘over
there,” or wherever the Government
has placed them.
The “Star Spangled Banner”’ and
prayer closed the service. :

OFFICIAL RED CROSS NOTES
A supreme test is presented to us
and we will not fail. Our giving
must shake us to the very founda
tions. True we have given to oursel
ves by buying Liberty Bonds, true
we have given to ourselves by buying
War Savings Stamps. This is invest
ing our savings in the best bank in
the world, the Treasury of the United
States, and what we save will come
back to us with interest. What we
give to the Red Cross is our part of
the fight against frightfulness, and
we can do our fighting in the arm
chair in the security of our own home.
What we give to help to clothe the
soldier in the hospital, and in the gar
ments he wears when fighting, and
the surgical dressings we help to pur
chase and to make, is after all a
small part compared with the sacri
fice that the soldier is ready to make
that we, who sit at home, may be
free and unmolested by the unspeak
able Hun.
The Needs Are Great
Every little bit helps, so try to
think of some way that you can_ help
to raise funds to carry on the great
work of the Red Cross.
Some of our members are selling
their surplus vegetables, some are
making extra money with their nee
dles, others are giving small enter
tainments to raise funds.
We have quite a list to publish
this week in our honor roll. “Go thou
and do likewise.”

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH OF
JULY IN MARIETTA.
As ha;i been announced, Marietta
celebrated the Fourth this year.
The Cobb County Singing Associa
tion had called a meeting for the day
in the Court House, and the Men's Pa
tHiotic Leage had arranged a program
also. They did not conflict at all,
but all joined in the spirit of the oc
casion, and celebrated the day in fit
ting manner.
Mr. A. V. Cortelyou as President
of the Men’s Patriotic League acted
as Master of Ceremonies. Dr. R. G.
Smith made a short statement of the
object of the meeting. Mr. Betty,
Army Y.M.C.A. Secretary offered a
prayer.
Col. J. Z. Foster then read in his
inimitable style, the Declaration of
Independence.
Dr. Patton then introduced the
speaker with a few well chosen re
marks, the Rev. J. S. Lyons of Atlan
ta, who delivered an earnest and elo
quent address on the subject of pat
riotism.
The Court room was filled to it's
capacity and the intervals were filler
with songs by the large body of the
Singing Association present..
An unusual number of people on
the streets, and mostly from out of
town showed that the day was being
celebrated throughout the county as
a holiday.
MRS. SAWYER ENTERTAINS
COUNTY OFFICERS TUESDAY
The County Commissioners and the
Clerk, the County Superintendent,
and Board of Education, and the
Chairman of the County Advisory
Board were the dinner guests of Mrs.
Sawyer at the New Rest Room and
Demonstration Kitchen on Tuesday.
Mrs. Sawyer proved a most enter
taining and delightful hostess, and all
were loud in praise of the new kitchen
a%rest room.
“We trust that all the ladies who
come in from the country and have
even a few minutes to spare will
visit this place. It was for their con
venience that it was installed, and by
their cooperation it can be made
pleasant and profitable.
A resolution of thanks was passed
by all the gueshts to Mrs. Sawyer for
the dinner and the chance to see the
arrangements that have been made
there.
A NOVEL VOTING CONTEST
Two of the colored churches of the
city have a novel voting contest to
raise funds.
The contest is for votes for Paul
and Silas, twin baby boys of one of
the churches on the one hand, and
for Bessie and Bonnie, twin baby
girls of the other church.
At the final round of the contest
they are both to be on exhibit in the
same church, and if they succeed in
pulling off the matter without any
friction, they will have set an exam
ple worthy of publicity.
Harmony is always said to be a
scarce article at a baby show, but we
wish them success.
CAMP MEETING
There will be Camp Meeting at the
Marietta Camp Grounds, held on the
usual date this year.
This will begin on August 9th, that
is Friday before the second Sunday
in August.
Some new tents have been erected,
others repaired, and the grounds will
be put in good condition to take care
of the crowds.
Do not forget the date and make
the arrangements to attend this year.
The singing, the preaching, and the
spirit of these meetings make them
most attractive. Come and be with
us.

McADOO PLACE SOLD
The old McAdoo plantation, five
miles out on the Powder Springs road
changed hands this week.
It was sold by Judge Sam C. At
inson to Mr. J. M. Fowler of Marietta
and the deal was consumated through
the agency of the Holland & McCles
key Real Estate Company.
This old place was the birthplace
of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
and therefore one of the bistoric old
landmarks of the ceunty.

COURIER, ESTABLISHED 1901
Official Organ of the City of Marietta
Judge Morris Issues Order
So Farmers May Keep
At Their Work
Notice is hereby given that there
will be no business disposed of at the
regular July term 1918, of Cobb Su
perior Court that requires a jury
trial, nor will there be a Grand jury
impaneled at that time. Court will
convene only for the purpose of dis
posing of such business that does not
require trial by jury. All default
judgments can be taken at that time.
There will probably be an adjourned
term of court later in the summer.
In the event that an adjourned term
of court is held all eriminal and eivil
business returnable to the July term
of court will be in order for trial.
This direction is given for the reason:
(a) That the farmers will not be
through laying by their crops. There
is a great scarcity of labor on the
farms on account of so many having
been called to war. It is extremely
important that they have full oppor
tunity to raise all farm products pos
sible.
(b) Jail is practically clear and
the business of the court is well up.
(¢c) At a meeting with the Bar of
Marietta on this date they unanimous
ly requestd that there be no jury trial
business disposed of at the regular
July term of Court.
It is ordered that the Clerk of Cobb
Superior Court publish this notice in
the Marietta Journal, Cobb County
Times and Acworth Post for two
weeks in order to give all parties,
witnesses, etc., full notice of this or
der and save them the expense and
time of attending court. ’

PATRIOTISM vs. CIGARETTES
Our country needs men, men, men!
The most patriotic job boys have on
hand is to make men of themselves.
And cigarettes hold them back, says
the Cave Scout in Boy’s Life, the Boy
Scouts’ Magazine, for July.
It seems impossible to make some
fellows believe that though every
medical expert in the country knows
that cigarettes are a bad thing for
growing boys, millions of men who
smoke—and surely ought to know—
agree that cigarettes are bad for boys.
And yet there are some boys just
sprouting into long trousers who
think they know more about cigar
ettes than all the doctors in the coun
try. Some case of “swell head,” dont
you think? Every time I see a boy
smoking a cigarette I get mad clear
through. I feel like taking him by the
nap of the neck and shaking the poor
fool until his teeth rattle.
Bad points:
Hurt a féllow physically—stunt his
growth, dull his brain, take the keen
ness out of his *smeller” and the edge
off his appetite.
Hurt a fellow’s chance for getting
a job.
Class a fellow either as a tough or
a fool—and it’s hard to choose be
tween the two.
Waste a fellow’s money.
Make it impossible for a feiiow to
travel with a decent bunch.
Good points:
Can’t think of a single one. Can
you?
It is my humble opinion that about
the most unpatriotic thing a growing
boy can do is to smoke cigarettes—
or to use tobacco in any other form.
The coolest place in town is the
Strand Theatre. : \
