Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-24

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 q 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 dehcit.
One of them Is this COW!
Nellie is the property Of the Asso-
oiated 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
fat 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 nowl
Nellie, wearied Of a life Of respon-
sibility, went on 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 breathed, into a
white elephant"
What to do with the COW is the
Sort Of Community Cow.
Nellie is a 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 il an honored
guest at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth
Youngberg, who lives with her 80
year7old husband at 109 Oliver street
But she can't stay there any longer
To the ora people she represents the
difference between comparative pros
perity and actual want. With Nellie
giving no milk they can not raise
the money to buy Nellie something to
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 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 Samarl-
tan who will feed the COW until she
is again a wage ca ~ner The Chair
ties can't do II for they're broke
They haven't enough money to fill
the needy human uoLths-let alone
a COW.
Good Samaritan Needed.
Mrs. Youngberg is looking for
Good Samaritan, too. She is a littlt
gray-haired woman, past 70 years q
age, and she, makes a living for her
self and her husband by putting can
bottoms in chairs. She has a litt.,
workship fitted up in the basemeu
of her little home.
The Associated Charities and Jos
Logan are her synonyms for goodness
Next to Joe Logan and the young
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 hope Mr.. Logan won't let any
body take my COW away from me"
she said, Z don't know what I'd
do if it wasn't for Nellie. She has
almost kept us alive this summer.
Don't you think there is some
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 to
sell, but l can take care of her if
can only get something for her to
eat"
So If there be one among you
