The Gentiles. call them "blood," and

to supply us with fresh Thoughts"

But at Gedalyeh the bakers all is
still cheerfulness. Girls and boys,
in their unspent vigor surround the
tables, there is rolling and Kidding and

But it won't be tomorrow. Look

you will not find them so merry, they
will not seem like the same.
One of the likely lads has left his
place, and suddenly appeared at ta-
BILE beside pretty, curly-haired girl.
He has hurried over his Mates, and
now he wants to help her.
She thanks him for his attention
with rolling pin over the fingers,
and there is such laughter among the
spectators that Berke, the old over
seer, exclaims, "What impertinence
But he cannot finish, because he
has to laugh himself There is a
spark in the embers of his being which

And the other lads are jealous of

that no girl would hit complete

And Sossye takes it into her head
to make her Mates with one pointed
corner, SO that he may perhaps know
them for hers, and laughs to herself
as she does so.
There is one table to the side Of the
room which was not there last year;
it was placed there for the formerly
well-to-do housemistress, who last

PRICE CONTINUES
On THE STATE JOB

This section is interested in the an.
nouncement that J. d. Price, commits
sioner of agriculture, will not resign
for some time. There is a possibility
that he will fill out his term, which
event would allow no appointment, as
j. ]. Brown would assume the duties
for the full term, having been elected
last fall
Tie dispatch which gives the inten-
tions of Price to stay on the job, says
THE persistent report in Atlanta
that Commissioner of Agriculture
James D. Price might resign today,
and that appointment of a successor
for the unexpired term would be one
of the important duties that would de-
volve upon Gov Harris Immediately
upon his return from Florida, has
never had any foundation.
"Mr. Price let is be known some
weeks ago that he would not resign the
first of the year. because of the fact
that he will have to complete his an
nral report, complete the audit Of his
department, which is now in progress,
and wind up his business in the Office
before he can hand his resignation to
the governor. Mr.. Price said today he
did not know what the nrobable date
will be upon which he will hand in
lis resignation but the inference is that
1t will not be before the middle of the
month, and more likely not before the
first of February, since it viii take
that long to complete the report and
the audit"

Ii you think that all the wizards
Of the type and printing press
Nav be found in city printshop-
Why you've got another guess.
Just you note the country printer
And the one man plant he owns,
With it's old, decrepit presses
And its worn imposing stones.
See the poor, sprung iron cases
Bend out when the squeeze" is
great;
See him build them up with cardboard
Till each line and rule is straight.
See him make a proof press prayer
(From wringer, it may be-.
Such man has lots more genius
Than such guys as you and me.
See him turn wide set letter
When his quads are running low.
He as hundreds more such methods
Only country printers know.
He has half the tools require
Presses browen down with age,
Working harder, working longer
(And he gets lower wage).
But the loyal country printer
Seldom kicks and seldom knocks.
He don'town an automobile
Nor a string of city blocks.
But he's glad that he's "a printer,
For he likes it through and through
And he sets a good example
Of what we should also do:
Make the most of what's before us;
Do the best with what we've got,
And from him we learn this lesson
Be contented with your lot.
