In her tiny room, as she cooked her
meager dinner over the gas plate, and
later, when lying wide awake in her
narrow bed, she thought of the beau

became a cherished ideal, vested with
wonderful scenes among the great
people of the world.
The following day she neglected her
lunch, and hurried to the shop to once
more view the wonderful caddy.
When she entered the woman greet

her eyes had proved haunting to the
woman all the past night.
Did you really want to buy the

Little Billee had the satisfaction e
acting as host to Santa Claus at a
good. luscious dinner, which Santa
Claus must have enjoyed very much.
After dinner Henry came with the au-

night. Santa Claus and Little Billee's
papa went out of the house together.
Christmas morning dawned, and Lit
tie Billee awoke from wonderful
dreams of rich gifts. and of extraordl-
nary adventures with his new-found
friend, to find the reality quite as
splendid as the dream things.
AS for Santa Claus. Little Billee has
not seen him again but down at his
fathers bank there is a new messenger,
named John, who has a voice so like
Santa Claus voice that whenever Lit

papa, he runs into the bank and has
long talk with him, just for the
pleasure of pretending that it is Santa
Claus he is talking to.

Governor Sfaton. Notwithstanding
the dullness and depression lately
charaCterizing the bond market new

able 10 market her bonds most salts
factorily when the time comes. The
Governor has had this matter on his
mind ever since he took the oath Of
office, and has made one ten day trip
to New York, with the marketing Of
the bonds his principal business.
Georgia's credit is so very high her
collateral SO many times more than
sufficient, that the Governor has in
sisted all along that the refunding OF
her bonds necessarily must be all
right
Bankers told the Governor. when he
was in New York shortly before
Christmas, that Georgia possesses
many advantages over other States
in the matter OF bond issues because
Of rigid constitutional limitation upon
the Legislative and executive author
ity TO issue bonds. and because the
States entire property is pledged to
the payment OF her bonds. notwith-

would pay them five or six times

II may be stated as a fact that
Governor Slatou is now even more
sanguine OF complete success in the
mater OF refunding Georgia's matur-
ing debts than he was last fall, and
when he sends in his message to the
General Assembly treating of the
matter, he hopes to have a plan per-

Why American Wages Must Go Down

Since, under the Democratic tariff
law. Chinese are shipping eggs into
this country to compete with the Am
erican farmer, great interest has been
manifested in the activity among Chi
nese egg shippers. The egg business
in China has taken on such activity
under the Democratic tariff law that
United States consuls are making re-
ports on it to the United States gov
eminent. Albert w. Pontius, Ameri-
can consul at Marking, reports off,
cially that a big egg factory at Nam
king is about to be completed so as
to begin operations this year. He
says that Chinese eggs are either sold
in open market or collected by inte-
rior agents and delivered to the fac
tory or to the exporter.
The important egg producing dis
trict of China, he reports, comprises
the Yellow river and the Yangtze riv-
er provinces and that the season of
greatest production is from February
to May. He says there is a local des-
sicated egg factory at Marking which
purchases eggs much below the mar
ket price. He says this factory paid
from eight to ten cents a dozen last
October.
For local shipping, Mr.. Pontius re-
ports that eggs are packed in bam-
boo crates with saw-dust or straw.
He SAYS they are canned at Marking
and Hankow by a foreign corporation
and shipped to Europe. He says he
is informed that all grades of eggs and
all kinds of domesticated fowls are
used for this purpose. Refrigeration
service. he says, can be obtained from
China to the United States. The Han
kow factory mentioned above keeps In
operation through the year by handl-
ing game, poultry. feathers, beans and
skins.
The American consul reports that
workmen in these egg factories re-
ceive about 10 cents day, thus max
ing it clear how the Chinese are able
to ship eggs to America and compete
with American farmers.
