Now Joseph c. Logan, secretary Of
the Associated Charities, says ear
nestly that he'd hate to do 1t, but
unless some kindly soul dumps a few
bales Of hay and a 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 $500 deficit.
One of them is this COW!
Nellie is the property of the Asso-
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:
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
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 a perfectly respectable COW,
against whom not one word OF scan
dial has ever been bredthed, into a
white elephant"
What to do with the COW is the
question.
Sort of Community Cow.
Nellie is sort Of Community cow"
She Is 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
flow Of milk, and she has kept the
wolf from many a door with her milk
and butter.
Right now Nellie is an honoreG
guest at the home Of Mrs. Elizabeth
Youngberg, who lives with her So
FOLD husband at 100 Oliver street
But she can't stav there any longer
To the oid people she represents thu
difference between comparative pros
perity and actual want. With Nellie
giving no milk, they can not raise
the money to buy Nellie something 20
eat
So Nellie must go-but where NJ.
Logan says he'll be blessed if he
knows He can't install her in the
Gould Building; neither can he tethe c
her out in front in EdgewoOd avenue.
I Nor can he leave her with Uncle
Isaac in Decatur street until she gives
milk again.
So he is looking for q Good Samari-
to b.
is again a wage Garner. The Chart
ties cant 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 littlr
gray haired woman, past 20 years q.
age, and she makes a living for her
self and her husband by putting car.
bottoms in chairs. She has litt.'
Worship fitted up in the basemeI
of her little home.
The Associated Charities and JO.
Logan are her synonyms for goodness
Next to Joe Logan and the yOung
woman who watches over her for tn
Charities, she loves the Charities COW
The COW and her little dog Beauty"
are her greatest friends.
Il hope Mr.. Logan won't let any
body take my COW away from me q"
she said, u don't know what Td
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 lin1
enough to feed my COW for me until
December? l can't keep her and buy
feed unless she gives me milk to
sell, but I can take care Of her if
can only get something for her to
eat"
So II there be one among vou-
