BILL GET S A JOB.
CHAPTER SIX.
That next morning Bill fianlly
awakened this friend, telling him it
was time to hustle to work. But his
friend wouldn't see it that way.
"Nix!” ho said. "I’m not going to
work today; I feel too had. Besides,
I can tell 'em at the office that I was
tick. I’m going to atay right here in
the hayv”
When Bill told him that he had ei
ther spent all his money or it had
hcen stolen from him, but three dol
lars, the friend laughed, telling him
he was a "fine simp to let ’em roll
you that way.”
Bill still urged his pal to get up and
go to work, but that young man had
his own ideas on the subject. Bill
dressed and went out, resolved to try
harder than ever to get a job. That
evening he came back tired out and
nearly discouraged, for it had been an
other barren day, as far as a job was
concerned. His friend tried to cheer
him up, telling him to have a drink,
that it would make him feel better.
"Not on your life,” said Bill. "That
stuff has caused me enough worry for
the time being.”
The next day Bill met his friend at
noon time. "Well, Bill,” said his friend.
"I’ve got some good news for you.
I got fired when I went back to the
job this morning, so you hike over
there any maybe you can get it. But
don’t tell ’em you know me,, for it
won’t help you any.” Bill told him
how sorry lie was, but his friend said:
"Ob, I gueRs I had it coming to me
all right If IM let the boor.e alone

everything would have been all right.
But I didn’t, Bill, so now you’ll beati
it over there and see if you can’t'
sr>f»ar the job—for we’ve got to eat, •
y* know.”
Bill went "over,’ landed a job—not,
as good as the one his friend had held, :
but it was a start, anyway. And he I
was to start the next morning. That I
night he wrote a long letter to his j ^
mother and one to Emily, telling them O
of his fortune. H. C.

MANY GEORGIA BOYS
ANXIOUS TO ENLIST
(Special to The Herlad.)
Atlanta, Ga., April 30.—The hostUl-
tiei with Mexico have resulted in a
rather remarkable situation in Geor
gia. This time last year, with the dove
of peace hovering over the whole west
ern hemisphere, interest was lax in
the state militia, and it was mighty
difficult for the national guard offi
cer* in this city and other sections of
the state, to keep their companies np
to the required minimum. As for the
United State, recruiting station in At
lanta, it did practically nothing. But
this spring, with war in the wind, the
mDitia and the United States recruit
ing station are both being literally
GEORGIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
DOING A GREAT WORK FOR STATE
Atlanta, Ga„ April 30.—A promi
nent man, physically from a live south
Georgia town, but mentally "from
Missouri,” visited the headquarters of
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce to
day and came sway thoroughly con
vinced of the great value of the work
the chamber is doing for the state.
“Why!’ said he, “if the people of
Georgia will give this state-wide or
ganization the financial support they
should, the benefit to the state will
be astounding. I was skeptical as to
the organisation being able to exist
long enough to prove its 'worth,
though I hsvs long believed there was
needed a means of coordinating the ef
forts of the local commercial boJie:

Colonel Orivillo H. Hail, command
ing ths Fifth Georgia regiment, Na
tional Guard, with headquarters here,
says he believes that every company
in the regiment could be recruited up
to the full war strength within forty-
•ight hours If the call came to
tualiy go to the front.
Letters received by the adjutant
general from other parts of the state
indicate that the same condition holds
e everywhere throughout Georgia,
that if things become still more
irioue and the militia is actually
called on for Mexican service it seems
certain that Georgia will not only be
one of the first states to spend, but
will be able m put one of the heaviest
volunteer bodies into the field.
MRS. FUNK TELLS
OF AMENDMENTS
Mrs. Antoinette Funk, the lawyer of
the Congressional committee of the N.
A. W. S. A., cays of the new amend-
-Every equal aaffmgiet, of course,
hoped that the amendment for full iuf-
frage might have been favorably con-
i- sidered at this eesiion of congress,
Such hope eanaot be realized, largely
because of the constitutional squeam-
ishnees-of certain senators end rep re
tentative*. - •
j “But wa want federal legislation,
and the new amendment cannot fail to
find favor, because each state con
stitution gives in it* last analysis to
ths voters of that state the right to
pees upon whether women should have
equal political right* with men.

many and irksome legislative barriers

restricted by inadequate funds, it
now a permanent institution. Its use
fulness will be proportmato to tRc
support given by the people. A visit
to the headquarters will convince any
one of the progress that has already
been made for the agricultural, com
mercial and industrial upbuilding of
the stata.
“The work of warning the farmers
of the coming of the boll weevil has
not ended. Southwest Georgia, which
will be invaded this season, has been
thoroughly covered—46,000 pieces of
printed matter were mailed to the
farmers; personal letters and printed
matter were sent to 1,100 school
teachers and 200 preachers—and, by
the way. I find that President Haden
is strongly imbued -with the idea that
the preachers in the rural districts can
do ponders for the educational and
material welfare of their districts—
letters, printed matter and posters
were sent to 3,000 merchants; and
every bill-board in the twenty-three
counties covered with posters warning
of the need of diversification of crops
to make the territory self-sustaining.
It is the Intention of President Haden
X*'carry the same campaign through
Georgia in advance of the spread of
the boil weevil, inducing the counties
to employ farm demonstration agents
I bav* never seen a more indefatiga
ble worker for the public welfare than
President Haden, though no officer
of the organisation receive, ary com
pensation.
“I was shown extensive files of cor
respondence with manufacturers and
investors of ths north and west -whs
have been interested in Georgia by
the publicity secured for the state by
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
Undoubtedly quite a number of man
ufacturing industries will be secured
for those live cities and towns that
are ready to cooperate with the Geor
gia Chamber of Commerce. Hundred,
of letters of Inquiry as to the oppor
tunities Georgia offers are being re
ceived from farmers, business man and
investors ia the north ami west, the
Pacific Slope and even the Canadian
Northwest.
“Working in sympathy with the
agents of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in establishing
Boys’ Pig clubs, with the Stale De
partment of Agriculture in encourag
ing farmers to diversify crops and
raise more and better hogs and cattle,
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
is, at the same time, working to se
cure cold storage facilities for meats,
fruits and vegetables at convenient
points throughout the state, and to
establish canning factories to encour
age production, to provent waste and
to steady the markets. It is expect
ed that several enterprises solely for
the purpose of raising hogs and cattle
will result. Incidentally, there are
good .prospects for the establishing of
Ik>x, crate and basket factories; knit
ting mills; and woodworking plants of
various kinds.
“A foundation is being laid for great
Improvement in the matters of rural
credits and good roads, and considera
ble work is being done in securing in
formation as to the water-powers of
the state and planning-for their future
development.
In the course of further conversa
tion, the gentleman stated that Geor
gia Products Day, which was celebrat
ed by public dinners in seventy-eight
cities and towns on November 18,1913,
would be made an annual event, and
that this year’s celebration would be
more extensively celebrated and
broader in scope and effects.
