to be individual, to be true to them
selves, courage to break fetters of ira
dition. To those who have already
shown their courage will be given en-
couragement. And for each there will
be a secret gift-the secret of how to
dispel loneliness in the great city For
this is Christmas tree given by the
Spugs-and these are the gifts each
Spug has TO give and to bestow"
Spugs do not discourage Christmas
giving, but Christmas grating. They
do not object to expressive gifts if
one can afford them. They prefer,
however, the priceless gift which car
ries with it the giver who gives not
with a sense of obligation, but for the
pure joy and love of giving.

"0IR COMPANY"

The Union Pacific Railroad has is
sued a suggestion that every employe,
from office boy and engine wiper to
highest official, say I'VE" and our"
when speaking of the railroad. The
company wants each employe to feel
he has some definite part and inter
est in the company, that to the de-
gree that he works for it, it is his.
The success of any firm is measured
by the ability and service of the en-
ployes. Whenever the employees take
a personal interest in the firm for
which they are working, they do bet
ter work Hence, the Union Pacific
has taken step in the right direction.
They do not stand as a distinct firm
for which the brakeman is working,
but they make the brakeman feel he
is part of the company.
Both ]. Pierpoint Morgan and John
Wanamaker used the same plan. They
did it to interest their employees and
to cause them to take a proper con-
Germ in the business of their employ
ers. And they, working with their
employees, succeeded better than most
men succeed.

ONLY COLLEGE MEN NOW.

An order issued from the office OF the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail
road at Topeka, Kan, states that only
graduates of engineering schools will
hereafter be employed in its engineer
ing service The order further says
that where it is possible to promote
a college graduate in the service, he
shall be promoted over the non-college
graduate.
This is indeed a revolutionary move
ment. 1t marks a distinct step in the
complete recognition of the superior
abilities of the college graduate over
the man without that training. 1t
will hardly work any hardship on the
Santa Fe and its inception may be
accepted as lasting policy. 1t may
mean that the Santa Fe's service will
receive more in salaries but it will
not mean that this railroad will be
unable to get men to fill its places.
This is the day of the college gradu-
ate and the railroad is merely taking
progressive step in recognizing it.

THE GIFT AND THE GIVER.

There will be a unique Christmas
entertainment in New York this year
unique because it has as its purpose
the giving of priceless gifts. "Spugs"
is the name adopted by members of
the association to discourage unnec-
essary giving. The Spugs will have
an enormous Christmas tree and
5000 are expected to attend Yes,
there will be gifts in plenty, but such
gifts as cannot be valued in money
Gifts of friendship, help, cooperation,
time well spent, gifts of knowledge
that by their presence those who have
attended have helped make the day
less lonely for others and the price
less gift OF kindly thought are the
presents which each Spug will impart.
Miss Annie Morgan, daughter of
the late J. P. Morgan, expresses the
spirit of the association in the fol-
lowing:
ITO each person who attends will be
demonstrated the true spirit of Christ
mas. For everyone there will be true
expression of friendship. To those
who may need it, will be given courage

Friends of the Farmers Union
Head Say He Needs Their
Support for Cabinet.

Those Georgians who have observed
closely the progress Of the movement to
place Charles S. Barrett. president of
the National Farmers union, in Presi-
dent Wilson'S cabinet as secretary of
agriculture, express themselves as en-
tirely satisfied with the condition of
things in the West. the middle West

tion--which is Mr.. Barrett's home dele
gationAmust be more aggressive, as a
whole, if results are to be obtained.
The states of the Pacific slope are
practically solid for Barrett, and sew
eral of them have sent delegations
across the continent to Trenton to urge
before Mr.. Wilson in person Mr.. Bar
rett's fitness for the position.
In Illinois, in Colorado, in Indiana
and in Pennsylvania the Barrett move
ment overshadows all others The
farmers everywhere are solid for him
and the farmers believe this portfolio
should be awarded to one of their ranks
Georgians Not Active.
Curiously enough, however, the
Georgia delegation in congress is not
as active, so reports from Washington
say, in Barrett's behalf as great many
of his Georgia friends believe 1t should
be.
A big majority of the delegation is
outspokenly for Barrett, and is commit
ted to his cause both by written and
verbal Endorsement to Mr.. Wilson. One
or two members of the delegation, new
ertheless, appear to be hanging fire, and
Barrett's friends are beginning to ask
why.
Those backing Barrett believe sin
cerely that all he needs to land in the
cabinet now is the united and enthusi-
astic support of his own state delega-
ton in congress. If that is given him
cordially and without bubble, the prob

accidents through automobiles, street cars
and other vehicles, a movement to or
ganize public safety league with $4,000
active members, including all the school
children in Atlanta, has been started by
officials of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company.
Under present plans the league is to
nave officers and lecturers, an official but
ton bearing an emblem of the leagues
aims and purposes, moving pictures
showing how accidents take place and
how they may be avoided, and other vivid
methods of educating the public on this
important subject The lecturers will visit
the classes in the public schools, address
the public probably in mass meetings in
the Auditorium Armory and seek in other
practical ways to further the object of the
league.
Besides the school children, automobile
owners, street car motormen and con
ductors, and vehicle drivers of all classes
Will be asked to enroll as members of the
league
AS soon as the league is sufficiently
well organized, cooperation will be sought
with the public safety committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, so that the com
m1ttee's suggestions to the public may be
spread throughout the city under organ
lied plans.

GOES To POLICE
To GET DIVORCE

Atlanta's reputation as a divorce
mart got a rise today when Mrs. e.
Admos, a daughter of Romany and
CARRIED to look the part, walked into
the office of the county police and de-
manded decree against her husband
instanter She said that he had eyes
for younger and fairer women.
f. Admos, the Grant husband, came
with his wife to the police, but seemed
Indifferent to the entire proceedings.
He merely shrugged his shoulders when
the woman accused him of many
&mouTs.
Mrs. Admos took it for granted that
County Police Chief Rowan would turn
to his desk, write something in a book
and hand her a divorce decree. She in
timated that there was some sort Of
hoax afoot when she was told to con-
suit n lawyer.
Relates Family Woes.
The wife related the family woes in
broken English while Admos stood by
and nodded approval at each sentence.
He even smiled when she told about
his fondness for the society of younger
women.
The woman said that they had mar
ried in Austria Hungary, in village
near Budapest. 20 years ago, and hHd
come to the United States five years
later. She said they had nine chill
dren.
Admos admitted that he was satisfied
with his present married state but put
it that if his wife insisted upon a di-
vorce that he didn't care. Like the
woman he was surprised to learn tiat
the police were not in the business OF
granting divorces.
