We have ail a speck of the motley.—Lamb. I 1 attracted by the bright lights 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. The New York Times in speaking of the organiza- ° 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. This Is Certainly No Time to Be Downhearted $ 0f1 di t We strive to°g™c b hcr'the friendship she needs. * So itany worthy girls with ambition to ®upport 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.

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.

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.

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.” ATHENS TWELVE YEARS AGO Saturday, October 21, 1911 Cotton: 9 1-8 cents.

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 Select a Church and then Support It By Your Attendance IT IP NO WHITE ill HAS YET COMPLETED (By Associated Prase.)

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. Publishers* Confession,” by Walter H. Page (Doubleday, Page and Company 4 $1.50. Wtfttcn first in 1907 anonymous which it is bopcliss.
