Increasing Plant to Meet
the Public Demand

Plant added during the past five
years has been at greatly increased
costs. Due to this, the average
plant per telephone in service,
which in 1919 was $751;, 10 now
1882, and this increase per tele-
phone will continue. To meet the
bare necessities of the public for
more telephone service a minimum
of 10000, 900 will have to be OK
pended for additions and better
ments during the next FIVE years.
We are not now earning enough to
attract the necessary new capital.

THE NATIONAL DISH

What is it? Restaurant keepers ov-
er the country are conducting a straw
vote to determine what is America
favorite dish. To acquire this distinc-
ton the food must be staple article,
the chief part of the meal in which it
is used and must go back long way
in American customs for its origin.
The concensus of opinion seems to
be settling about ham and eggs. While
this dish formerly breakfast dish, has
been pushed out of the morning meal
for reasons of haste, and the popular
ity of cereals as the entire bill OF fare
still the flavor of this dish holds its
charm and lunch and supper orders
show its steady popularity. 1t is said
that the first order of sailor back on
land is one of ham and eggs, and
among the frugal all over the land
the want still is expressed: IF we had
some ham, we could have ham and
eggs, if we had the eggs"

HOW WISELY THESE OLD GEoRGIANs

HOW WISELY THESE OLD GEOKG1ANo
PLANNED-When the statesmen OF ante-bellum
DAYS of Georgia planned and built the Western ~
Atlantic railroad from Chattanooga to Atlanta
and purchased large terminals in Chattanooga
they probably never dreamed that the state would
be offered more for part of the real estate lncud-
ed in the Tennessee purchase than the entire cost
TO construct and equip the railroad at that time
Such however, proves to be the case, the State
being offered $3OO0OOO for part of its realty in
Chattanooga OF course, it wasn't a question OF
governmental policy that prompted the construc-
ton of this early railroad, but private capital had
not realized the possibilities in exploiting trans
portation of freight and passengers by rail- SO the
experiment was left for the State to undertake.
Just as the State is building its highways now.
1t is not probable that legislature would con-
sent to sell this valuable property even at this
price, but if they would sell Chattanooga enough
of the land in controversy for streets, the abuttng
property could be leased along the line OF leas-
ing the Governors Mansion property in Atlanta
for enough to pay interest on twice or more than
twice the amount offered at the present
Chattanooga desires to extend its business
section thru this property and Georgia should
permit her doing it, getting good price for the
necessary land for street purposes and reap the
benefits of the enhancement of the property for
business purposes. We would like to see commits
sion appointed by Governor Walker to report on
such proposition.

CHRISTMAS IN THE CoUNTRY-Ch Christmas

CHRISTMAS I'm The SOUN1 Ky IlStlHdS
in the farm homes and in the rural schools What
memories it brings to thousands of men and wo-
men in crowded cities well as in the open
country The spirit Of making others happy is
abroad in the land At this happy time when our
main objective is to add to the joy of the Christ
mas season for our boys and girls may we not
also take stock of the kind of permanent service
we are giving our children i'll providing for their
future welfare and happiness especially Tor their
education? Houses and lands, money and jewels,
may be of temporary endurance. Good health, a
trained mind and a sound, moral inheritance are
treasures stored where moth can not enter nor
rust destroy. The best Christmas gift any commun
tv can give it's children is an efficient school,
which assures insofar as it is humanity possible
the spiritual and intellectual training that pre-
pares them for the good life"
School trustees and parents, why not when
you go to Christmas program at your school
house, look about you carefully, see that the
school building is sanitary, comfortable and con-
venient for it's purpose? Desks must be occupied
five hours day by school children; eyes must be
used day after day, the children need new school
building for a Christmas present if these things
are not satisfactory. The Christmas vacation is
a good time to make necessary repairs, to remodel
unsuitable buildings, to sentiment for
a new one.
