THE FORTUNES OF WAR
America lias lost her first transport in the present war. At first the I
news was of an appalling loss of life, but the last news cuts down the list|
of the missing to a little more than two hundred.
Of course every American who loves his country will regret very deeply
the loss of the brave soldiers and sailors who went to their deaths at the
hands of the German submarine beasts, but it is only a part of the fortunes
of war, and must be regarded that way. If the same boys had gone on safe-
Iv to their destination, they might still have fallen upon the battlefield.

such warfare, the American people are ready to go to their limit

SNIDER AS A PROPHET
Prof. Snider, of Griffin, lias said that February would he a “rip snorter"!
and that we hadn’t seen anything In December to compare

At least that is what the Griffin oracle has been quoted as having said.
He may say now that he was misquoted.

Perhaps the ground hog Is a better prophet this year. He came out,

In Denver last year the garden cam

in that one city alone. If the farm

would be no shortage next year of
anything to eat In this country.
One of the government bureaus or
chlfferobes or dressers or something
recommends that the people, In these
meatless days, eat more eulachon. It
Is said that the eulachon Is a kind of
smelt and when we notice that the
hufeau recommending the dish is the
bureau of fisheries we are confident
that It is.
WHERE THE NEW PLANT COMES IN
The wisdom of the City of Athens in providing the new waterworks!
reservoir has been amply demonstrated during the past weeks. The creek!
has been so muddy that the supply would not have been satisfactory had It I
been necessary to use the raw water from the creek to the filters. In this I
condition of the creek water, all the city had to do was to fall back on Its j
teservoir.
The reservoir holds nearly a hundred million gallons of water and fori
months had been filling up. The water was clear and pure. It required very!
little of the work of the filters to put it In fine condition for use by the|
people.
All during the past few weeks, when the water in tlie creek and river!
was so muddy, the supply used by the city of Athens has been taken ex-1
cluslvely from the big reservoir, with the result that the people have had a |
perfectly satisfactory supply.
A CARTOON IN TYPE
Paris lias a new apartment house,
reports Figaro, which will rent to no
one without children. To rent the
smaller suites one child will do, for
the medium sized apartments a pros-
pectve tenant must have a minimum
of two children while the large apart
ments require a family of at least
four.
The state nnd the government have
gone Into the employment bureau
business In Atlanta, opened olficeR,
and advertised to the world that they
will find employment, If possible, for
those wanting work and will find
Workers for those who need help. So
far 45 employers have asked for 743
workers of a big variety of classes—
and only 203 have asked for jobs.
Once Winter went masquerading.
At first he Impersonated Santa Claus—but after the holiday humor pass-j
ed the disguise attracted no attention.
Then In other fancies of old folk—he tried to conceal himself.
And as he grew more childish and simple—he assumed to ploy the role j
of Spring.
Rut. he was awkward—and tripped and fell and was not able to rise till |
the real Spring arrived In time to take the place In the play—
And Winter was not remembered ns himself at all—not missel In his |
ounterfeit role of Spring—
For the real Spring was here.
