 SAVANNAH, Ga, May 17-Be. hind the quocatiops and stories moving over financial wires is a picture so colorful and romantic for w. T. Williams, market edi- tor of the Savannah Morning News, that in 20 years he has not missed a single day at his desk.
 To the lay reader the quota tions may be dry and the stories uninteresting, but Williams sees them as a continuous picture of big business and stock maneuv- CTS, shrewdness in manipulation dramatic coups, success and fail ure of carefully planned move ments, with all the interest and excitement of great game nov ing before his eyes.
 His record includes presence at his desk even on Sundays and holidays when the markets are closed. for he dislikes vacations.
 In addition to being recognized as a market expert Williams is an accomplished musician and music critic. his work as a poet has attracted attention, and for many years under the nom de plume of Uncle Mingo he has written dialect stories.

PROF. KIRKLAND
ADDRESSES CLUB

Friday afternoon of last week,
the Camulos Club had the pleasure
of listening to talk on "Refor-
estation' by Prof. B. p. Kirkland
of the University of Washington.
Prof. Kirkland gave many inter
esting and instructive facts con-
cerning this great problem. The
plan of reforestation is beneficial
both from the standpoint of COM
mercial utility and also scenic
beauty. The logged off land can be
restored to a mass of fine ever
green trees within twenty years or
less. These trees can be utilized by
the pulp industry even before this
time.
Prof. Kirkland urged that great
care be exercised to prevent for
est fires as these do irreparable
damage to the young trees. AT the
close of the talk he answered the
many questions asked by his list
eners.
Delicious refreshments were
served at the close of the program
by the hostesses, Mrs. Alta ALI
son and Mrs. Bessie Wood.
