last administration.
But the great state of Georgia, with
the clean bill of health that measures
like these have given her would not be
daunted even by a matter of less than a
million dollars discrepancy between her
income and her outgo. The strong leap
forward which she is certain to take I'M
der such conditions will no doubt en-
able her soon to overtake and submerge
whatever difference there is with
treasury replenlshed by increasing val
ues and revenues from new industries
and enterprises. And meantime her
credit cannot suffer because of such
trifle compared with the Astounding
wealth and prosperity of the people who
are prepared sooner or later to make IT
good.

The Blue and White in Greek Flag
Dundee Advertiser.

The Greek flag is an unpretentious
piece of blazonry, consisting of nine
stripes of blue and white alternately,
with a white cross on a blue ground
in the top left-hand corner. The navy
flag has a golden crown in the center
of the cross.
Blue and white are the national COLI
ors of Bavaria, and were adopted by
the Greeks as a delicate compliment to
the prince of Bavaria, who accepted
the invitation to ascends the throne Of
Greece when that country had sue
ceeded in wrestling her independence
from the Ottoman empire.

Joe has become famous through his
ever present smile. During the four
years he has been strapped to a board
at Sea Breeze hospital Coney Island,
at times suffering intensely, he has
never lost his cheerful expression. Now
he is well and can play as other boys
do.
When the little fellow went to the
hospital with a bad case of tubercular
spinal trouble he was only three years
old. They put him in plaster cast
and fastened him to board so that
for months he could only move his
arms and head.
And yet Joe kept on smiling. He had
commenced by smiling, and he intend
ed finishing that way.
To while away the time this helpless
boy counted the boats as they passed
on the sea and every night could tell

hospital and took Joes picture, which
