Kf i Records show that thousand? of girls, penniless
i and wifliout friends, from all sections of the nation
flock tfl New York, with the hopes that they may
secure .positions on the stage or in the movies or
some other kind of employment which may hold out
a living to them. Few of these girls ever succeed in
securing positions in which they can earn a living
and there are more downfalls from a desire to bye in
a bi«r city than from any other source. The migra
tion has increased so extensively until the good people
of that'city have organized a society kn °wn as the
[Girl's Service League of America to which these
helpless young girls can go and be ta * cen ®“ r ? un '
til they can secure a positoin or else b « home.

° n ’Hundreds of young gir}s come to New York
every year from other cities and from the coun-
try Attracted by the stories they have heard of
the’ gaiety, the chances to go on the stage or into
^™thc ^movies” or to earn large wages in more
cvery-day work. Many of them are only _16 to
17 year* old. They have no idea how much mon-
required for the bare necessities of living
w York and are soon penniless. They
hesitate to appeal to their paren s,
,inc to hear "I told you so.” Stranded in a
ity, a young girl desperately needs a mend.

and cafe for thentaelvcs bravo the difficulties of the
big cities only to bo met with reverses and tempta
tions which finaly lead to their downfedl, and, the
E desecration of all that is good and worth living for.
Girls in the smaller towns and cities of the country
tahould take heed and be loath to undertake to make
r"their own way in the big cities where there are so
few opportunities to make their way successfully.
For every desirable position in these cities there are
ten applications and for the few who do succeed,
thousands fail. Parents and guardians should bo
thoughtful, careful and above all they should stand
firm against the whims of the inexperienced girl
who is -desirous of plunging into the world and Its
! ways and fighting her way to the top round of pros-
i peritv.r Few succeed—many fail—others are soon
lost sight of in the limelight and other unfortunate
girls take their place, only to sacrifice a life which
! might Have been useful and helpful in the communi-
i ty in which she was raised. This society throws
arourntthe stranded and helpless girl that protec
tion which she needs and the work of the Service
League continued and should be built up in its field
of usefulness sufficiently to care for all of the mis-
guided and unfortunate girls.
OWN YOUR OWN HOME
Two’years ago an “Own Your Own Home” cam
paign was conducted in Athens which resulted in
■ great good to the community and many citizens
bought-and today they are the possessors of their
llpmes. .
Georgia is one out of eighteen states showing an
increase of home owners from the years 1900 to
1920, Recording to reports from the federal depart
ment of commerce. ...
It is high time that such another campaign should
be commenced in this city. A building company
would add much to the success of the movement.
There are hundreds of families living here today
’ -.vho are anxious to qwn,their own home; moderately
priced >vith conveniences, one which could be bought
on ter(9s of monthly payments. There q waits some
field of investment which will pay handsome
dividends. People are growing tired of paying rent
and the opportunity to purchase a home on a basis
of monthly payments of about the same as the av
erage bouse is now rented for would be a most in
viting field for the man of moderate means and in
come. Such an investment is absolutely safe and
the income from such investments would realize to
the inyestor an increased income over that of regu-
fr lar interest on loaned money.
, la addition to helping the man who is anxious to
•-.own his home, the improvement would bring in tax
1 money.to the municipality and aid in increasing tho
gyenue of the city. A building campaign and an
pin Your Home” campaign will help to boost this
J more than any other movement and above all it
a substantial means through which the average
man can save which he would not otherwise do. It
' is worth thinking over and organizing a company
%) with sufficient funds to provide homes for all who
may desire to own their own home.
Insure against fire and burglaries by storing your
gotton and depositing your money in Athens.

THE FACTS OF THE MATTER
I do not wnv. my country’* Has
On every opportunity,
Nor care to pull a lot of brag
About my home community.
Bu[ ae I travel to and fro
And wander anywhere I can.
in not at all aahamed to ahow
That I am an American.
I know there’e plonty we can learn
am other countrlea various.
Stern leeaona which we ehouldn'*
spurn—
Our faults are multifarious;
We ere not perfect, not a bit.
And yet my Information la
That we are much more does to It
Tbnn any other nation le.
I do not shriek this thought aloud.
But nona tha less I'm (eellng It
My patriotic aoul is proud,
in spite sf my concealing it.
I do not .shout my land's ncclalm.
But modestly I tune a verso
In which I sing my country's famr
As best In all the Universe!

DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
A Uttio of Everything And Not Much of Anything. ,
By HUGH ROWE.
Strolling around town dnd
mooting with friends affords
ons much pleasure. Our friends
mean much to us and with
out them, this would bo a miser
able world—for mo at least. But.
get.tjng to tha “pointy’ as Col.
Henry C. Tuck would say, I drop
ped into a clothing storo and
thero met with Fred Orr and Dr.
Will Moss. Dr. Mojs was trying to
get suited in a hat to match his
suit and overcoat and Fred Orr
wag aiding and abetting him in
tho act. Aaron Cohen had shown
him every bat he had fn stock and
every ons, according to Aaron,
waa Just the kl/id should buy,
but Dr. Moss demurred and then it
was Fred Orr waa called into tho
case. He is an archVect and vory
artistic In his taste. It was not long
until Fred had selected a hat which
fit and looked a» If it had been
made for the doctor, but some
how at was out of line in matching
tho dimensions of his head and.an-
othor delay came in the sale which
caused Aaron no little umount of
uneaslnes* for fear that he would
get out ol the store before buying.
I saw tho seriousness of the case
and called Fred Orr away a few
paces and we framed ui> on Dr.
Moss and selected a hat wttfch we
thought was ideal for a gentleman
ladies, and, would you bellevo it,— . . . f . n i .
ho accepted our selection for the l tl10 ; “ eau or tno Emp,r ® State
purchase. T.'ho idea of anyone In
this community allowing Fred Orr.
and tho writer to select anything
for them—even the building of a
chicken coop or tho publishing of
an almanac. However, you can
never teU, people arts prone to be
ing humbugged and I suspect that
Dr. Moms felt that ho might as well
be humbugged by Fred Orr and' the
writer ns any ono else and rather
thftn injuro our feelings, after we
had agreed that the bat was Just
tHo kind for him, ho .would buy li
rcgardles# of fft, price or quality—
and ho did.
Athens men can always be
counted on to take a leading
part In all gatherings and or
ganizations whether at home
or abroad. The election of E .R.
Hodgson. Jr., as vice president of
the Southern Fertilizers Associa
tluii was a rfstinct compliment to
hts popularity among the members
and to his ability and knowledge
of the fertilizer business. His
brother. Harry Hodgson was pres
ident of this association for a num
ber of years, mlgnfng when he
was chosen chairman of the War
Memorial Fund of the University
of Georgia on iiccouni of the many
duties imposed upon him as chair-
I Chemical Co., one of the largest
plants In the country.
It is a timely movement on
the part of tho Clarke County
Tuberculosis Association to
commence organization and
plan for the sale of seals during
the holidays. It Is a cause In which
every cltliep should be Interested
and one whfch should receive lib
eral support from the people of
this community. The Christmas
seals committee Is in charge of
Mrs. 'A. S. (Parker and under her
able direction and cooperation,
the sale is bound to succeed.
A good ono Is going the
rounds in the press of the
country relating to an Inter
view sugposed to have been
«ecured by some erstwbdlo report
ers on Boston newspapers. Here is
what Is being printed:
As Chauncey Brewster Tinker,
professor of literature at Yale,
was about to sail for Europe, he
was boarded by the ship news re
porters. “On the level,” said one °f
them, “what do you really think of
the younger generation, especially
the girls?”
“They are almost perfect,
plied the professor.
“And all this talk about tho way
they drink?’ ’another reporter sug
gested.
“They are almost perfect/ ’the
professor repeated. "They know
when to drink, what to drink,
here to drink, how to drink and
when to stop.” Then he added: “If
frou print that I'll thrash you all
when 1 come back.”

The first duty of a parent is to his child. The child
has a right to be grounded in the principles which will
make his life happy and successful. The teaching of
children in the way they should go requires knowledge,
patience and sincerity, and, above all, an example on
the part of the parent as to right living. Children are
imitators and very often follow in the way of the pa
rents. i
•
Do you as a parent set the example you should for
your children ? Dp you treat them as inferior beings,
or do you arouse in them a spirit of self-confidence by
putting confidence in them ? Confidence begets con
fidence.
Do you take them to church with you and do you
answer fully and frankly the questions of life which'
they are entitled to know ? The church will help you
answer your child’s questions, and is the one great
force which is holding the family together as a Christ
ian unit. -evj

M A Son at the Front,” by Edith |riage as an institution
Wharton (Scribner's) 92.00. tention In it or romance.
Written by the author of several 'give and take, humor whit
novels that have had' great success vitally necessary and' lova
with the reading public, Edith
Wharton greets the public with
“A Sou at the Front” which some
declare to be the greatest produc
tion of this very remarkable story
teller. t '
Deep personal exptfience—tho
close experience of one who was in
constant and active contact with
the reality of war throughout four
long years in Paris—speaks in this
novel through that genius which
has placed Mrs. Wharton in the
forefront of modern novelists. Her
magnlflclent gift for story telling
here is matched with a situation
of vast human significance—one
which places jher rharacters under
the stress of the greatest passions.
From its opening the novel moves
forward in an atmosphere of deep
ening excitement, with that, mas
tery of plot which 1b disclosed in
all Mrs. Wharton's stories. But al
most equaling the fascination of
the story is the interest V the In
teractions of character, the pic
tures of wartime Paris, tike dash
between changing ideals and stub
born loyalties. "A Son at the
Front” is instinct with the great
emotions of war.
