THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, mor knowledge, nor wis dom, in the grave, whither thou goest.—Eccl. 9:10. Enthusiasm begets enthusiasm.—Longfellow. AN EMPTY STOCKING ON CHRISTMAS MORNING The greatest disappointment and sorrow that can come into the life of a child is to awaken on Christ mas morning and find. an empty stocking. In every home in this broad land little children on Christmas eve night prattle and play around their mothers knees and before retiring han% up their stockings with the absolute belief that“ Old Santa Claus will come down the chimney and leave them all the things they have written and prayed for weeks and months before Christmas. They huddle off to bed and dream of the:things they will find in theit stockings when they wake early on Christmas'morning. Their little hearts are all aglow and their spirits bouyed up .in the belief that an invisible Santa Claus will leave them all they have asked for. Can you not imagine their.great disappointment, serrow and a broken “heart to find an empty stocking. Let us resolve that there shall be no empty stockings in any home in Athens on Christmas mdrning this year. There are some: cases here that deserve attention of the kind heated and charitably inclined. If these cases were sought out and made known, we are sure that every _child in & desolate home would be made happy on Christmas morning with a stocking overflowing with “the things that brighten the lives of children and es ‘pecially so at this season of the year, Our people will - give and if the representatives of some of the chari table organizations in the eity will take the lead in the movement, there will net be an empty stocking in any heme in Athens on Christmas morving. v Let us plan a campaign that will insure to every needy child in Athens not enly a full stocking on Christmas morning, but a bountiful supply oy the _more substantial needs——food, elothing and fuel. Re member ihe child of wne . mpty stocking and help to bring happiness its its home through a contribution ‘tosome-of the organizations that are charged with the #sponsibility for caring for the unfortunates. -~ INCREASED DEMAND FOR LABOR ‘Secretary Davis and the.National Association of ‘Manufacturers report that the demand for labor has shown-& wonderful increas: during the pas. six weeks over that of recent years at this season of the year. The number of unemployed throughout the country is show to be less than that of last year for the same period and that a general demand for labor 1s being felt in all manufacturing and industrial lines. In many instances, the industrial plants are increasing their production which calls for increased labor and in the building line much activity for this season of the year is being shown. ‘The reports from these sourees are the cause for much encouragement generally. With labor em ployed and receiving a living wage, the'country is hound te prosper. Usually the winter months bring an army of unemployed men and women throughout the country; these people are dependent upon work for a living and when they become unemployed, not only do they suffer, but business suffers from a condition that creates idle wokmen. THE SPIRIT OF COOPERATION There has been much discussion over the question of “who makes a public utility go”. The matter has been argued from various angles, but the most reas onable solution yet offered has been put forward by Current Affairs, a publication in Boston, Massachu setts. It says: ";Ag'ain, the question: ‘Who makes a putlic utility go? * ‘We do,” say the stockholders. ‘We finance it.’ “ ‘We do, says the management, Without our in telligence and foresight all the money in the world could not make 1t go around.’ “‘We do,’ say the works. ‘A public utiiity would Ye Mnable to exist except for the sweat of cur brows.’ “fWe do, say the users of the service or things the public utility offers., ‘lf we did not patronize a public ugility it could not survive. ““As a matter of fact all are wrong.' The public utility could not serve and prospér without the co operation of all four groups.” | < “SPEED COPS” IN AUTOMOBILES - Out 'west the municipal and county authorities arve pufting the “speed cops” in automobiles instead of uging motorcycles as has heén the practice since the system of “speed cops” was inaugurated some years ago. The theory advanced for the change is that it o&u tes a hazard to the police and affords them ,m’om,tognfox:t in the discharge of their duties in run nh;&gpwn violators of the law, ° The experiment has worked most successfully in Cleveland, Ohio. That city is new using a number of roadsters. for their “speed” squad which is said to be an improvement over the use of motoreycles. Such a system might be an improvement for Athens, but it is is mot expected that it will be considered here for some time to come, if at all, .

A Little of Everything and Not Much of Anything By HUGH ROWE A few mornings ago, one of the coldest mornings of the season, a street car running on ‘an early schedule was as comfortable as a steam heated room in a modern hotel. There were a number of passen gers aboard—more than usual, no doubt, on account of the “snap pish” weather. Several students, young men and young women, were among the passengers. One of' the young ladigs, after shiver ing and then thawing out was heard to remark that the Athens street cars were far more com fortable in the winter than. were the street cars in her home town, Savannah. And, we suspect the same holds good with many other cities throughout the country. The people of Athens are indeed fortunate in having a gtreet car system so thoroughly equipped for comfort during all seasons of the year, e Come to think about it, Athens lags on very few things of a civic or public utility character—street car, power, ' electric light, gas, telephone and telegraph, All these utilities are supplied Athens with as modernly équip ped systems as can’' he found in the United States with similar population. It is something to be proud of, to say nothing of our schools and higher educational institutions, Of course, Athens has some disadvantages that should be ovércome, and they can be overcome, if our citizens will work in harmony ‘and with con certed actiom, .As a reminder, the electric automatic stop sig nals should be ingtalled at once and an effort be made to secure an equitable freight rate on coal. The consumer and the municipal ity are suffering great losses an. nually from the discriminating rate on coal. The amount that could be saved from an equitable coal rate to Athens, woulgd, in a few years, amount to a sufficien. cy to build a new enterprise of large proportions. Yet, we are idling along and allowing the soal rates (o defeat our efforts to secure industrial and manu ‘l tacturing plants, 1 However, if the Chamber of Commerce will keep hammer ing on the railroads for an, equitable rate on goal, it wiH _succeed. If such a benefit is ‘ worth securing, it is worth working for. With a. proper survey of condi tions and a compilation of -com pa-ison rates with other cities, we feel no hesitadncy in predicting an early adjustment of the unrea. sonable rates now charged by the railroads on coal. Our people have been to timid in pressing their claims and so long as they are backward about the matigr, it can not be expected of th® railroads to wvolunteer a reduc tion in rates. If Athems was il cluded in the same gchedule with “Atlanta, figure 'up how much “would be saved to the people of this “city. Seventy-four cents on each ton of coal for every ton received in Athens ‘would run into b'g figures during twelve months time, .

'After all, she told herself, ashamed but a, little defiant, il she had wnarried Fablo it would have been as bad business for him as for her. Crystai's vivid imag ination balked at picturing the wedding that weuld necessarily have been theirs; a pretty, well dressed American giri (she could not yet be wholly honest with her self, must think of herseif as pretty), and a handsome Mexican veuth made ridiculous and .con sp.cuons by his hideous American clothes—that bright-blue, ill-fit~ ting suit, for instance, with that awful pink . silk -shirt!'—aypplying 'l'ol' a marriage license before a surprised, incredulous - county clerk. : Or maybe he would have insist od upon a church as well as a civil wedding.

Think of what shie had escaped! And—her heart reminded her—of what she had missed! Oh, Pabio! A long train trip to Mexico City, Probably they would have had to travel by day coach, since Pablo obviously had no money beyond his wages. He didh't even male a salary—he made wages!

During the next hour Crystai tried to make her heart say good bhye, to Pablo Mendoza and what she believed was the great love of her life. But it was almost dawn before .the hot fingers of pain loosened their ciuteh uson her heart sufficiently for her to say, with some of the old Crystal man ner: “But he did ask me to marry him. I've had a proposal of mar riage.” Tears came gacain then, and after awhile che slent, and was late to the office. .. NEXT:. Two lettrs for Crystal.
