IF YOU WOULD WIN

If you would seek a place of power,
And climb aloft to high estate,
Keep moving with the running hour,
While idlers make excuse to wait
Then rush ahead and swing along
Until you pass the tagging throng!
If you would rise above your kind,
And occupy an honored chair,
Bestir yourself, resolved to find
The lion-heart, to do and dare
Then face the battle, fit to fight
Your way up to the splendid height!
If you would have the master-skill
That overcomes the toughest task
Yield to the masters guiding will,
BY tearing off your binding mask
Then take a grain of sense thus found
And plant it in productive groundl
If you would win the loud applause
Bestowed on men of rare renown,
Proceed to seek the basic cause
Why they can not be trodden down,
Then follow them with faith unfurled
And blaze your name around the
world!

he was a close-mouthed participant in

One day the banker called him into

TELLING THE AGE OF BIRDS

At first glance it does not always
seem possible to distinguish between
old birds and their youngsters. But
really it is quite easy. The main
things to note are the head and claws.
In the young birds these always ap-
pear very much out of proportion to
the body.
Listen to the cawing of the rocks
if you wish to know their age. The
notes of the young bird are higher
pitched than those of its parents.
Young rocks, too, are clumsy in their
flight, floundering in the air as if
not quite sure of themselves. When
all are flying together, the old birds
invariably lead the way.
Young starlings are drab- brown in
color, with none of the wonderful iri-
descent lights of their parents. Their
breasts, too, are speckled.
When full-grown, wood-pigeons
The young, which are Matched in the
spring, do not begin to show this un-
til the autumn, when the color of
their toes changes from a dull pink
to bright red.
Young sparrows may be distin-
guished by tail that is stumpy and
short. Their flight is unsteady, and
when they alight on twig they have
difficulty in balancing themselves.
The first flight feather of a young
partridge has a pointed tip, which in
the adult bird is rounded. The legs
are yellow, and the beak is more
plant.

A LABOR PAPER

Like other papers which not specially subsidized by
interest corporation labor paper depends ad
vertisng in order to exist.
Advertisers who paper reveal their good wishes
for that papers and their hope of patronage
result of such advertising.
Advertisers who labor paper show their desire to
make labor paper They reveal thereby in
teres in the social progress of all who toll At the
time they request the patronage of the oers whom the
labor paper represents.
The merchant who does not advertise in labor paper
reveals the opposite of those who do.
Hence there is a real why members of organ
lied labor should support those merchants who advertise
their labor paper.

ALASKA HAD MILD WINTER

There have been more visitors to
Alaska the past winter than ever be-
fore and all on account of the extra
ordinary mild weather. Usually if
persons went to Alaska in the winter
it was to get away as soon as poss-
ible after transacting their business.
A report from officials of the Alas
kan railroad shows that in addition to
the inbound traffic being heavy the
trains on the railroad operating be-
tween Seward and Fairbanks have
not missed single on-time schedule
during the entire winter. Because of
the light snowfall and comparatively
mild weather there has been little use
for the big rotary snow plows that
form an important equipment of the
government-owned railroad in Alas
ka.
On the day the special report to
the Secretary of the Interior was
filed the temperature registered 80
degrees above zero at Seward and 10
degrees below at Fairbanks, the
northern terminal of the railroad.
That is unusually warm weather for
Alaska at this time of the year.

BUILDING PROGRESS IN MARIETTA FOR 1923
(From Community Service)

The building progress in Marietta for the year
1923 did not run up to the million mark even
half Million yet taking everything into consdera-
ton it was very satisfactory. Statistics show,
best they can be compiled at the present time, that
approximately $1600O00O will adequately take care
of the program. This amount includes all new res
licences, about five small store buildings Church
ST., one store building on Washington Ave, and the
new apartment house now under construction
Atlanta Street however, it does not include the
100000 bond issue voted for a new high school
building in December; neither does it include the
many improvements and expansions made to man
ufacturng industries and the many new homes built
just outside the corporate limits Should all these
be included it would possibly pass the half million
mark
These figures do not indicate that Marietta had a
building boom" during the year just passed but
they do indicate that our building program has
been steady and solid The unusual number of peo-
pie who find it feasible to makeMarietta their home
and conduct their business in Atlanta, win of neces-
sity, be an impetus to building during 1924 The
crowded electric ears going to Atlanta every morn
ing is evidence to the fact that some plan must be
worked out within the very near future toward pro-
viding housing facilities for the large number who
deem it preferable to live in Marietta
In view of the facts mentioned above the build
ing program in Marietta during 1924 will be far in
excess of 1928 and with the present outlook for bus
mess conditions, should look forward with much
optimism and determination to make the New
Year really count for something in Marietta and
Cobb County.
