Get the Savings fiablt.

Inc nara winter ana SLACK WORK
up till this week should teach the
laboring class of people of Clay
City an important lesson. With
the resumption of work at the
mills and the time of the year
approaching when farm work is
at its height, there is little ex-
cuse for anyone being idle This
labor will earn money, and at
least a part of this money should
be laid up for the rainy day and
times just like we have gone
through with in Clay City and
Powell county this winter. Mr..
Laboring Man, take a thought.
If you can consume all of your
wages while at work, remember
how you live like you have had
to do this winter when there is
no work to do, and start a sys-
TEN of saving for such times as
the past two months have been.
When man is at work getting
fair, and consuming all of his
wages, there is way to curtail
his expense. His family can find
a way to live on a little less and
save that much if they will only
do this.
A good way to do, is, If you
get 81. % per day is to lay aside
25 cents of this money and start
a savings account at the bank.
Twenty-Five cents per day for a
year of 300 working days will a.
mount to $75 per year. This a.
mount will easily tide over a
family of any ordinary shut down
of works or sickness, and should
such an adversely fortunately not
Overtake us, keep on saving, and
the interest on our savings to-
gether with the additional saw
ings of years to come will soon
enable us to buy a home, and the
the savings habit persisted in
will ultimately result in fund
sufficient to care for us in our old
days when We SO badly will need
rest, and the means to live upon
without having to work full
time.
The advice of the Times is to
get the savings habit and keep it
up. This habit will result in af-
ter years of an independent liv.
ing and an easy time. which you
so badly will need, and besides
you can have the satisfaction of
knowing that life has not been
lived by you in vain. Get the
saving habit today.

Chambers Law
Goes to Committee

Councilman Aldine Chambers has had
referred to the police committee Of
council an ordinance prohibiting the
sale Of drinks on Sunday in all clubs.
It has developed that the upshot Of
the whole locker club probe now in
progress will be fight to stop the serv
ing of drinks on Sunday. A number Of
clubs will be closed, Of course, as was
originally intended. But the most seri-
Gus probable effect on the real social
clubs will be the banning Of Sunday
drinks.
The law is already reasonably clear
on the subject but council has been ST

Alderman Gambler said he had re-
ceived many letters from citizens liv-
ing in nearby towns congratulating
him on his veto of locker club permits
and urging him to stop the sale of
drinks in Atlanta on Sunday.

Sunday to Drink.

He said that these citizens com
planned that their young men came to
Atlanta to spend Sunday and drink,
Alderman Gambler said he felt that At
Jonta owed it to her smaller neighbors
to stop the. dispensing Of Intoxicating
drinks on Sunday.
However. the nomination Of James G.
Woodward for mayor was considered a
nIea from the voters for a more liberal
Town. There is argument that real
locker club has as much right to serve
drinks on Sunday as on any other day.
Also. IT Is pointed out, there are many
citizens In Atlanta whose religious doc
trine does not designate Sunday as the
sacred day Of the week.
Council is divided on the subject by
two very positive opinions.
