An Object of ContemDt.

William f. Borah. senator from Idaho,
tells this yarn:
There was at one time in Georgia 4
judge who had many duties beside his
lega! ones to perform, but who never for
a moment forgot that he embodied the
law under any and all circumstances
On one occasion he was called upon to
act as auctoneer to dispose of some ner-
ciand1se left by dry goods nercha mt
WHO had died some time before.
During the auction one of the bidders
created disturbance, and finally the ex-
asperated aucticneer, assuming his charac-
ter as judge. fined the man sixty dollars.
and sent him to Jail for contenpt of
court An attorney made an applica ton
to remit the fine and released the pris-
ouer. on the grounds that there had been
no contempt Of court. He maintained that
the judge when acting auctioneer was
not a court. and therefore was not liable
to contempt.
The judge heard this application pre-
sented with rising wrath. and assuming all
the dignity of which he possessed, he
glared fiercely down upon the diminutive
attorney.
Sir" said he. in stentorian tones. II
would have you know that l am judge Of
this place under any and all circum-
stances: am judge all the time, sir, from
the rising of the sun to the going down
of ire same, And as such. shaking a
f. -efinger at the attorney. AS such, let
me tell you. sir. that L am always and
everywhere an object OF contempt =

WOMEN DO WORK
Widows Run Farm and Do
Their Own PlOughing.
Refuse Aid of Relatives for
Independent Life.

Liberal, Sept. 13.-Doing their own
ploughing, narrowing, listing and
other farm work, their. only helpers
their small children, two widows in
Seward county are proving real hero
ines of the homestead on their
claims. And they are making good.
After the death of her husband in
Iowa, Mrs. Mary Carson came here
and located on a homestead claim
few miles southwest of Liberal. The
son, always ambitious and determined
to work. has, nevertheless, been poor
in health, and never physically able
to do n mans work.
Besides team of horses, it was
precious little that Mrs. Carson had
to start with after she got to her new
home. Now she has a pleasant home
like boxing place, with pretty
orchard of peach and cherry trees.
Another widow who has maintained
quarter section claim near Liberal
Is Mrs Daisy Shaw. Her husband died
on the homestead six years ago, leav-
ing his widow with three baby chill
dren dependent upon her. Now the
eldest girl is II years old, her sister
il, and the brother I. All three arc
exceptionally bright children, never
missing a day from school and Sunday
school.
She refused her fathers offer of a
home with him in Texas. This is my
home, and here I'm going to stay
she said. And stay she did. A little
income she has from money left by
her late husband, but her main de-
pendence is her farm.
With her own hands and with her
children's help, Mrs. Shaw cultivates
20 acres of feed, while she lets out
part of her place. Most of it is hard
pan soil. There has been no season
when she has failed to raise suffi-
Gent crop to keep her live stock
through the winter
In a region where many big husky
men have struggled for while against
drouth and wind and grasshoppers
and finally hare been starved out and
have abandoned their HON esteads
these heroines have had the pluck and
the perseverance to hold the fort, and
have won.

The Rev Linton johnson. pastor OF

secretary of the Presbyterian Minis
ters Association, said Tuesday that
ne was very much interested in the

That he had found similar interest

1T is a unique proposition" he
said. II am anxious to see how great
the benefits will be. | am confident
that the results can not be other than
beneficial The Georgian may count
on the glad cooperation of every
Presbyterian church in the city"
The Rev S. r. Belk, pastor of the
Park Street Methodist Church. Just
back from the conference in Elber-
ton, gave the plan his enthusiastic
commendation.
Ut appears feasible and very com
mendable," he said 81 think it is the
thing to do 1t should be striking
example of power Of the churches in

That Atlanta is far from being the
church going city 1t is reputed to be
was the declaration Tuesday of the
Rev. A. A. Little, of the Westminster
Presbyterian Church, who coupled it
with the opinion that the plan of The
Georgian for a Co to- Church Day"
in Atlanta is a most admirable means
of awakening the people of the city
and getting them in the habit of at
tending religious services more fire.
Quently
The Rev. Mr. Little said that he was
sure the members Of his own church
would fail in readily with the idea,
and that other Presbyterian churches
Enthusiastically as had the Baptists the
day before in their weekly conference
and the Methodists in the North Geor-
gia Conference.
Methodist ministers returning to
Atlanta from the conference in Ell
berton indorsed the plan heartily, and
at once set to work to do their part
in making it a great success. They
will hold a meeting next Monday in
the Wesley Memorial Church, when
formal action will be taken.
Splendid Idea, He Says.
It's a splendid idea" was the com
mendation given the plan by Mr. Lit
tie. Il am doubtful If Atlanta is a
church going city in the true sense
Of the word. l know we have that
reputation. and we are proud to lay
claim to it, but l don't think we de-
serve it.
AS q matter OF fact, 1t will be
found that there are very few
churches in the city that have an
attendance Of 40 or 90 per cent of
the membership. Some of the

churches could not seat over 80 per
cent of their membership If they
should come, so it shows that they
40 not expect them.
THE attendance at some of the
churches includes such a low per-
centage of the actual members that
the figures would be startling. At
lanta, rather than being a church
going city, is very lax In this respect,
but l believe the plan of The Geor-
gian will afford an admirable rem
edy. Ministers and their congrega-
tons will be spurred to efforts that
they have not made before in years.

record day for Atlanta"
Praise also was given the plan by
the Rev Charles P Marchan, pastor
of the English Avenue Methodist
Church. Some people are very in
different about their church attend
ance," he said, and Go Church
Day will awaken them. 1t would not
be surprising if some of the preach
ers themselves had let down a little
in their efforts to get people inside
the doors of the church. Maybe they
will be encouraged to make stronger
efforts in the future

The Baptist ministers set to
