Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-23

Now Joseph c. Logan, secretary or
the Associated Charities says ear
nestly that he'd hate to do it, but
unless some kindly soul dumps a few
bales Of hay and few bushels Of
/ oats at a strategic point, he'll simply
have to insert some such advertise
ment as this in the newspapers.
For Mr. Logan has other things on
his mind besides a $4,000 deficit.
/ One of them is this COW!
Nellie is the property Of the Assoc
ciated Charities-in fact. she's all
they've got. A statement of the con-
dition OF the organization right now
would look like this:
Liabilities-S5.2 200; assets-one COW.
Nellie Goes On Strike.
Take Nellie away from them. and
| the Associated Charities would be
! fiat, stony broke. Until a few days
1 ago Mr.. Logan and his assistants
might have been able to take milk
/ and butter in lieu of their salary
| but not now!
( Nellie, wearied of a life OF respon-
! sibility. went on a strike last Monday.
She threw her nose in the air, shifted
/ disdainfully and ceased the flow Of
! Tactic fluid. Students OF coWOlogy
! say she'll stay struck till December.
Nellie is rapidly transforming her
| helf from q perfectly respectable COW,
/ against whom not one word Of scan
! dial has ever been breathed, into a
white elephant"
What to do with the COW is the
/ question.
Sort of Community Cow.
/ Nellie is a sort of Community cow
| She il loaned to needy families
/ throughout the city, and is a much
| travelled animal. She has the inside
/ dope on barn lots and pastures from
| Bellwood to Kirkwood. She has saved
many a little life ny her bountiful
I flow of milk. and she has kept the
/ wolf from many door with her milk
/ and butter
Right now Nellie is an honoreC
/ guest at the, home OF Mrs. Elizabeth
/ Youngsters. who lives with her So
| year old husband at l09 Oliver street.
But she can't stav there any longer
/ To the Ola people she represents tn
/ difference between comparative pros
/ perity and actual want With Nellie
! giving no milk, they can not raise
/ the money TO buy Nellie something e
eat.
So Nellie must go-but where? NJ.
| Logan says he'll be blessed if he
| knows He can't install her in tn,
! Gould BIilding; neither can he tethec
/ her out in front in Edgewood avenue.
! Nor can he leave her with Uncle
| Isaac in Decatur street until she gives
milk again
( SO he is looking for a Good Samari-
tan who will feed the COW until she
/ is again a wage Garner. The Chair
ties can't do it, for they're broke
/ They haven't enough money to fill
/ the needy human mOuths-let alone
! a COW.
/ Good Samaritan Needed.
Mrs Youngberg is looking for
/ Good Samaritan, too. She is a litjl,
gray haired woman, past 20 years ot
( age, and she makes living for her
/ self and her husband by putting cane
, bottoms in chairs She has a little
Worship fitted up in the basemeu'
Of her little home.
/ The Associated Charities and 10,
/ Logan are her synonyms for goodness
Next to Joe Logan and the youns
woman who watches over her for the
. charities, she loves the Charities COW.
The COW and her little dog Beauty"
are her greatest friends.
Il nope MT. Logan won't let any
/ body take my COW away from me
she said. Il don't know what I'll
. do If it wasn't for Nellie She has
almost kept us alive this summer.
Don't you think there is SOM
man in Atlanta who is good and kind
enough to feed my COW for me until
December? l can't keep her and buy
feed unless she gives me milk 10
sell, but | can take care Of her #
/ can only get something for her t.
/ eat"
( SO if there be one among YOU
