SOFT COLLARS ARE
NOW VERY STYLISH
Atlanta, Ga., Sept.—Soft collars
are going to be worn by swell dressed
almost exclusively during the winter,
according to Atlanta haberdashers,
and’ they explain why the men have
taken such a liking to the new neck
piece.
In the first place, which is an item
hot to be sneezed st, one makes quite
a saving in one’s laundry bill. A stiff
collar has to be sent to the laundry,
while a soft collar can be done just
as well by one’s washerwoman.
And they claim that soft collars
are not only cooler in the summer
than stiff collars, but are warmer in
the winter, not to mention the fact
that they are a great improvement in
the matter of free and easy movement
of one’s neck.

charge. The benefits of this great
charity are absolutely non-sectarian.
In the 43 years'that thi3 Home has
been in existence, of the nearly 3,000
children that have enjoyed its far
reaching benefits, hundreds of the
children were not from Methodist
homes, and in many instances their
parents were members of no church

Money given for this God-like work
is as good an investment as you can
make.
Let the farmer, the workman, the
merchant, the banker, the doctor, and
the lawyer all join in this annual ef
fort to assist in this work. Fathers,
plan for your boys and girls to make
some money and have it sent to the
orphans. Mothers, get your children

orphans. Your child or loved one
may need a day’s work some time.

EXTRA SESSION
.' MAY BE CALLED
IN W. & A. MATTER—PROPOSI
TION IS TO EXTEND THE ROAD
FROM ATLANTA TO SEA.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept.—An extra ses
sion of the legislature for the purpose
o" passing a constitutional amend
ment providing for an issuance of
bonds to finance the extension of the
Western & Atlantic railroad to tho
sea is becoming more and more prob
able, with the development of sonti-i
ment in favor of an extension and
with the progress that is being made
it. the plans of the various parties
who are proposing to build the exten
sion.
The latest of these proposals, re
cently submitted to the Western &
Atlantic leasing commission by Hoop
er Alexander, acting as attorney for
William Hurd Hillyer of Atifnts
ard others, has attracted widespread
attention. Mr. Hillyer and Ids asso-
ciites propose:
To build an extension.of the Wes.
torn & Atlantic railroad frorft Atlan
ta to Savannah, and to provide ade
quate terminal facilities fronting
deep water in Savannah; to deliver
this extension to the state of Georgia
tree from ail encumbrances; to- ac-
upt as payment for the extension,
slate of Georgia bonds bearing four
per cent- interest and running f&r
fifty years; to lease from the stats'
the existing Western & Atlantic rail-f
road, from Chattanooga to Atlanta,’
ct a rental substantially higher than
the rental which the state now re-'
ctives; to lease the extension for a
period of forty-seven years at a rental
sufficient to pay the interest and tho
sinking fund on the bonds.
The effect of this proposal is that
the state can acquira an extension
which will pay for Itself without cost
ing the state a dollar.
In order, however, to accept this or
any other proposal for extending
the road, an extra session of the legis
lature must be called in the near fu-
Place Your Order Now For Seed.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept.—Senator Hoke
Smith desires to distribute his allot
ment of flower and vegetable seed
as far as possible to schools. Ho re
quests that any school wishing to use
them write to him at Washington not
later than October 20, as the Depart
ment of Agriculture desires the list
by November 1. One of the senators
secretaries will remain in Washington
to give prompt attention to the mutter
cembcr, the purpose of this bond is-
rue being to provide for an issuanci.
of bonds. After this general clectlop
there will be no more until 1918. nnd
that would be entirely too long for
the state to w^jt before .deciding on
the future disposition of the road, as
‘he lease expires in December, 1919.
