OUR INVESTMENT in

Viewed from every standpoint
there is hardly any way work that

STOCK LAW FAVORED
in MANY COUNTIES

Atlanta, Ga, Sept 19.-Sentiment
for a general stick law in various por-
tions of the state is growing, to re-
prots received here by live stock
dealers. A few years ago when an
election for mo Fence" or stock law
was held, it was found that only a
small percentage 70 the cnonties want
ed in more and better cattle and
hogs, it appears that the sentiment
is changing very rapidly in favor of a
general stock law.
Telfair county farmers and live
stock men have recently began the
agitation 70 the subject of stock
law. Laurens county voted for it
sometime ago. Dodge, Telfair and
Wheeler all three border counties,
will next vote it. according to reports
as conservation measure.
Farmers and live stock men who
have been in Atlanta n obusiness
claim that they not only have a bet
ter grade of stock under stock law
conditions. but that disesae is less
prevalent, especially cholera.
This deesease costs the farmers of
Georgia hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The farmers alone lose
enormous sums from the ravages of
the disease, and there seems no way
to control it with hogs running at
large. Even those who keep their
hogs in pastures are handicapped
with cholera infected hogs running
at large, because they come in con-
tact with one antoher through the
fence.

as railroad accidents are frequent
where cattle is permitted to run over
railroad tracks. Georgia cattle men
many of whom will have exhibits at
coming eairs, are advocating stock
laws for every county in the state.

A E1nxrer Christmas

"This has been a wonderful Christ mas for flowers" said Hugh Scales yesterday. "I have never seen greater demand and I have never seen more beautiful flowers. Roses are leading in popularity, while carnations and sweet peas are closely following. The chrysanthemums have been the most gorgeous I have ever seen. From my own greenhouses the specimens have been more perfect than ever be- fore. They are enormous in size and the colorings are perfect Valley lilies. of course, are-very beautiful, but they are quite expensive and consequently are used more sparingly. In cor sage nothing is more effective and tha combinations we have made in cor sage bouquets roses and lilies of the valley, carnations and lilies of the val ley, rosebuds of exquisite coloring pinks and yellows. are particularly beautiful. I may truly say that this has been a flower Christmas for never have flowers been more in demand or more beautiful"

TRUTH ABOUT THE KAISER

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger lN AT ONARCHY became an impos- IWII sibility in France when the
 follies of the Bourbons became so much more matter of humor than of serious discussion that not boy or girl in France but knew just what the rule of the last of their kings mean for the country. Tn view of the revelations of the German White Book dealing with the origins of the war it looks~yery much as if as soon as the German people really get "close- up of what these revelations mean they will be inclined to accept the dictum of the radical paper, Vorwaerts, and let the kaiser go down to history as "the Fool by grace of God" For not only does the White Book as vorwaerts well puts it, reveal the kaiser as a emi-lunatic, but even the madness has a touch of the grotesque that would not only make William but the crown prince as well objects of merriment were it not that their absurdities plunged the world into the greatest conflict of all times and superinduced miseries that are beyond description for far-reaching horror.

Annual Bonus Denied
 to Extravagant Clerks

MATI0NAL extravaganza is part G V ly to, blame for the high cost of living. According to seH4e observ- CTS, it is the chief factor in keeping prices at dizzy levels. Examples to prove this contention are to be met with on every hand, but a story from Wilmington, Del, well illustrates the temper of the times.
 The Du Pont company cancelled it's large Christmas bonus for this year because women clerks were buying ex- pensive finery, on the strength of the extra money they were expecting to receive. Reports that their employees were plunging heavily-1n Philadelphia, purchasing furs chiefly, caused the company officials to withhold the usual gratuity, it is said, and as re- suit there is much perturbation among the extravagant young women, who are canceling their orders and sending back costly apparel that has already been delivered Coats costifg from three hundred dollars to six hundred dollars were in great demand.
 Similar cases have been reported from time to time in the newspapers. It is said that enormous profits are being made by dealers who are selling clerks, stenographers and other women workers, earning moderate salaries, costly suits, cloaks and curs on the installment plan, so much, down and so much week. The installment plan IS often a boon to people of limited means, but when credit is used to buy articles of luxury it is the widest folly
 Whether they want to or not, the American people will have to come to their senses. The time for this sad awakening may be much nearer at hand than most of us suppose.

BILL OF STEVENSONIA

From the Kansas City Star
 0GdaE juvenilia of most producers II of literature are Of negligible
 interest to the average consumer of books but to the hunters of first editions-those literary sleuths of the
 old garrets and auction rooms-even the nursery products of favoriee au- thors are important, and especially in these days, if that favorite author hap literary personalities, Robert Louis Stevenson. The flavor of romance hangs about everything that Steven- son did. The atmosphere of youth | never left him-he was always tusitala, the story teller living in a world of
 juvenile dreams. How early those dreams began to fashion themselves in his mind is evidencey by recent find" made in New York auction
 room by that indefatigab ble searcher of literary rarities, A. Edward Newton,
 author of Amenities of Book Collect ing" It was the original draft of what seems to be Stevenson's earliest contribution to literature, dictated by him at the age of in the handwriting of his mother, entitled, The History of Noses It. has been privately
 printed by MT. Newton in the form of
 a de luxe brochure, illustrated with
 fac similes of the manuscript and il- lustrationss from the infantile pencil of Stevenson himself. A copy of this in teresting bit of Stevensonia was sent by MT. Newton to Dr. R. l.. Sutton of Kansas City, an ardent Stevensonian. Even at 6 years old, it seems, Stew
 enson showed distinction of style and clarity in his literary expression. Here's sample of the young authors sure touch:
 There was woman that had a child when all the babies were to be drowned and she was good woman and she asked Godsiow she could save her baby and God told her to make a
 basket of rushes and put it in the water, hiding it in the rushes. When Pharoah's daughter was going to bathe in a certain place and as she went past she saw the cradle and asked her servants to go and bring 1t out and they did. When they brought it out they lifted the thing up that was on the top and they saw baby crying. Then they saw the>child's sis '.ter that was standing far away and
 Pharoah's daughter cried to her to ccme and when she came she told her
 to call a nurse for the baby and then she ran and brought the mother of it,
 and she told the mother to take charge
 of it and to come to the palace and so she came
 The story of this manuscript of
 Stevenson's first story will be inter-
 esting to all lovers of Stevenson. It is told briefly in a preface written by MT. Newton. In 1856 Stevenson's Uncle David offered to his children and rtephews a prize for the best history of Moses. Louis. though only then 6 years old, was allowed to try for it
 by dictating his version to his mother,
 and he devoted five successive Sunday
 evenings to the labor of its compost
 tion. He won the prize and. adds his mother. From that time on it was the

Nor does it mean the de- nationalizing of the Jew of any other nationality. Only those who wish to give up their nationality and to ac- quire the new nationality of the Jew ish homeland will do so.

:" F Passing of the Last
 Beecher Clergyman

6[1HE Rev. F. w. Beecher, father 1 4 of L. T. Beecher, who was laid to rest in Elmwood cemetery Sunday, Twas the last clergyman of the famous Beecher family, the most distinguished ] stock of theologians and scholars in lthe country. He was 84 years of age. The greater part of his life had been spent in the service of the Congrega- tional church, but in 1902 he became an adherent of the Protestant Episco- pal church., and died in the fold of that communion, after several years of retirement.
 There have been many families of intellectual giants, but none so pro lific as the Beechers. They were de- scended from Lyman Beecher of New Haven, preacher and thinker of singu- liar force and originality.
 Lyman had thirteen children, eight of them boys and all the sons minis ters. Henry Ward Beecher was one | of them. He was the matchless orator and held vast audiences rapt in Europe as well as in America

Over the Stormy Deep
 to Bolshevik Russia

MI since the war ended has a 3 N more dramatic story appeared in American newspapers than the As scciated Press account of the depor- tation of Emma Goldman, Alexander Bcrkman and nearly two hundred and fifty other anarchists to soviet Rus sia. Nor could the average reader curb his indignation at the attitude of Berkman and others who went away cursing the land whose hospi- tality they had abused for years and swearing vengeance on long suffering officials.
 A government which they had sought by every foul means imagina- ble to overthrow took care that the ingrates were warmly clad, those among them who somehow failed to make anarchy profitable. Army over- coats, mittens, underclothes, hats and boots, intended for some sturdy dough- boy fighting for his country, were given to persons who little deserved kindness at the hands of America. Money was plentiful in the motley crowd, however. It is estimated that they took away nearly half million dollars.
