PLANNING TO ENFORCE
OBJECTIONS TO AWARD
Georgia Delegation in Con-
gress Protests the Contract
for Lincoln Memorial.

The Georgia delegation i'm Senate and
House is preparing to go before the
Secretary of War with a strong protest
against the recent allotment of con-
tract for the Lincoln memorial i'm this
city. The contract was awarded to
the George A. Fuller Constructor Com
rany, which proposes to use Colorado
yuie marble. although the bid of John
Gill and Sons. Of Washington and Cleve-
land, calling for the use of Georgia
marble from Cherokee and Pickett coun-
ties. was the lowest one.
AS soon the proceedings of the Lin
coin memorial commission have been
printed and can be obtained by the
Georgia congressman they intend ito
take the matter up. Representative Bell
of Georgia had intended introducing in
the House this week a resolution call
ing for an investigation. But he received
assurances from Secretary of War Gar
rison. he said today. which made him
feel justified in waiting upon that official
Bid for Construction.
The appropriation for the memorial is
se.OOe,Oo The George A. Fuller Com
pany bid $230.0oo less than this sum.
with the understanding that the s23o.ooo
is to be used in the construction OF the
foundation. the contract for which is still
to he awarded. 1t develops now that the
retaining wallis, which were to have cost
$4,000, have been eliminated.
1t is understood that the Secretary OF
War is giving the complaint of the
Georgians consideration. and that he
agrees with the delegation to the effect
that the Secretary of War instead or
the commission should have awarded the
contract. He has promised to hold up
the case until every phase of the matter
has been examined.
Representative Bell said that the infor-
nation he had received was TO the ef-
feet that Colorado yule Is not a. durable
as Georgia marble. He said that much
of the yule used in the constrro ton %
the Denver post Office had been torn out
on account of cracking.

Grandfather Frogs Big Mouth
Gets Him in Trouble.

Grandfather Frog has great big mouth.
You know that. Everybody does. His
friends of the Smiling Pool, the Laughing
Brook and the Green Meadows have
teased Grandfather Frog a great deal
about the size of his mouth. but he hash
minded II in the least. not the very least.
You see he learned a long time ago that
a big mouth is very handy for catching
foolish green flies. especially when two
happen to come along together. So he is
rather proud of his big mouth. just as he
is of his great goggly eyes.
But once in while his big mouth gets
him into trouble. It's a way big mouths
have. 1t holds go much that it makes
him greedy sometimes. He stuffs 1t full
after his stomach already has had all
that 1t can hold, and then. of course. he
can't swallow. Then Grandfather Frog
looks very foolish and silly and undig-
nified, and everybody calls him a greedy
old fellow who is old enough to know bet
ter. and ought to be ashamed of himself
Perhaps he Is but he never says So and
he is almost sure to do the same thing
over again the first chance he has.
Now it happened one morning that
Grandfather Frog had had very good
breakfast of foolish green flies. and real
iy didn't nee1 another single thing to
eat, when who should come along but
Little Joe Otter who had been down to
the Big River fishing. He had eaten all
he could hold. and he was taking the rest
of his catch to his secret hiding place up
the Laughing Brook.
Now, Grandfather Frog is very fond of
fish for a change. and when he saw those
that Little Joe Otter had his eyes gl.s-
tened. and. in spite of his full stomach.
his mouth watered.
Good morning. Grandfather Frog,
Have you had your breakfast yet? call

but he always tells the truth. Yes,
he rplied hestatIngly. I've had my
