WATCH ON THE
RHINE COSTLY
Uncle Sam Spent $300,000,000 to
Keep Yankee Guard
Over Foe.
Keeping watch on the Rhine
has cost the United States ap
proximately $300,000,(X) of which
only $37,000,000 lias been collect
ed from the German government,
which promised to pay all the
bills.
Exact cost of tlie American oc
cupation will not be determined,
army officials say, until all the
troops are home, and all Dills
have been paid in the occupied
areas.
From December 18, 1918, when
the occupation began, until July
31, 1922, when the last compila
tion was made, total cost of the
American force in Germany was
$291,380,717.14. To offset this,
Germany has paid but $36,554,999
leaving an unpaid balance of
$254,831,717 due the United
States.
Germany has been more careful
with its obligations to the Amer
ican section of the Rhineland
high commission. Germany paid
$16,000,000 more than the cost of
America’s part iu this organiza
tion, end the balance has been
applied on the larger debt.

taxes at once. If these taxes are not
paid in a reasonable time the city will

Notice
It will probably he of interest to the
male citizenship of the city to learn
that at a recent meeting of the mayor
and council, that body decreased the
street tax for the year 1923 from $4.00
to $3.00. However it was provided by
the same ordinance that unless a per
son’s street tax is paid b yApril 1. 1023,
after that date the amount that will he
required to he paid will be $3.50 in
stead of $3.00. In other words, if
street taxes nre paid by April Ist they
will only be $3.00. After that date they
will be $3.50.—J. R. ARNOLD, City
Clerk.

WINDER CHILDREN
NOT IN SCHOOL
A few weeks ago a campaign of Win
der was made by the town authorities
and the board of education for children
not in school. A report was made of
fifty-six children, with a possibility of
others not in schoodl. This is alarming
A number of these have been placed in
school, and the responsibility for remov
ing the cause that is robbing any child
in our city of an education should be
the deep concern of every citizen.
Not only do we find children who fail
to enroll, but some who are so irregu
lar in attendance that, they do not
make their grades. Irregular attend
ance at school is not only a loss to the
child but is an expense to the state.
One state found that it cost $40,000 a
year to re-teach children who failed in
their gravies because they did not at
tend school regularly. A child should j
stay in school as long as possible be
cause education means better jobs.
Boys and girls who go to work at the
end of grammar school rarely get good
jobs, the work they find to do is usu
ally unskilled; it offers little training
or chance for advancement.
Often a boy or girl when he leaves
school finds work that offers a high
wage for a beginner, but these wages
seldom grow because the work requires
no training. A position with a future
and steadily increasing wages requires
school training.
The United States Bureau of Educa
tion has prepared the following table:
Earnings for work of children who
left school at 14, the end of grammar
school:
Wages per week. Age
$4.00 14
$4.50 15
$5.00 10
$6.00 17
$7.00 IS
$8.50 19
$9.50 20
$9.50 21
11.75 22
12.00 23
12.00 24
12.75 22
Earnings per week of children who
left school at 18, the end of high school;
Wages per week. Age
SIO.OO 18
10.75 19
15.00 20
16.00 21
20.00 22
21.00 23
23.00 24
31.00 25
We find that at the age of 25 the boy
who remains in school until 18 lias re
ceived over $2,000 more salary than the
boy wlio left at the age of 14.
We can readily see the necessity of
getting the children in school and keep
ing them there. No town the size of
ours lias a better opportunity to offer
a child than Winder; then let us work
with our splendid city and county su
perintendents and see that each child
in tlie community is placed in school at
once.
Mrs. John W. Carringtong. Jr.
Chairman of Child Welfare Work of
the Winder Woman’s Club.

LETTER THATWILL 1
INTEREST WINDER
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 29, 1923.
G. D. Ross, Esq.,
Winder, Ga. *
Dear Mr. Itoss;
Your letter of January 27th, has been
received. Among the new construction
work to he accomplished by this com
pany during the year 1923, and which
has already been begun, is anew 110,-
000 volt main transmission line ex
lending from Tallulah Falls through
Toeeoa. Commerce, Winder and Nor
cross to Atlanta. At Winder anew sub
station will be built so as to supply ser
vice from this line to Winder, Monroe,
Social Circle and other places.
Wo have Just completed, as you
know, a 38-000 volt transmission lino
from Winder to Monroe. We already
have two 110,000 volt transmission cir
cuits extending from Tallulah Falls
Gainesville and Norcross to Atlanta.
We likewise have a complete l line from
Gainesville, Hoschton, Winder, Mon
roe, Social Circle, Conyers, Stone Moun
tain, to Norcross.
When this new line lias been com
pleted. service at Winder can be sup
plied over the new line through Toc
coa and Commerce to Winder, or over
either one of the other main transmis
sion lines from Tallulah Falls, R.v way
of Norcross hack to Winder, or from
Norcross to Stone Mountain, to Social
Circle, to Winder. So that there will
be a number of different transmission
lines over which service to Winder will
lie ixxssible. Therefore, if any inter
ruptions should occur on one line, or
two lines, or more, there would still
be an' opportunity to render service to
Winder.
The company also is at work upon its
water power development at Tugalo, a
new 88,000 horse power hudro-electric
development. We expect a part of this
plant to he in operation by September,
1923, and the entire plant to be in op
eration on or about January, 1924.
There will thus be this additional gen
erating capacity added to the compa
ny’s system.
The company also begins work this
year on a hydro-electric development
between Lnkcmont and Tallulah Falls,
of 22,000 H. P. capacity. It is expected
that this will lie completed by the fail
<>f 1!t24. thereby adding this additional
capacity to the company’s system.
The company likewise has plans for
the development of a water power sift*
between Lakemont and Burton, and
another one at the Burton Dam. It
also has plans for the development of
a water power site on the Tugalo Riv
er at a point that we call Ralston*
which is approximately seven miles be
low the present Tugalo Dam.
The company has recently enlarged
the capacity of its transmission line
from Atlanta to Newnan, where its
transmission lines connect witli those
of the Columbus Power Company. It
has also recently enlarged the capacity
of its transmission lines from Atlanta
to Lindale, and in conjunction with
the Alabama Power Company has con
structed a transmission tie line from
Lindas', Georgia, to Gadessden, Ala.,
connecting this company’s system with
that of the Alabama Power Company,
at the Georgin-Alabama State line.
This company’s transmission system is
also connected with that of the Ten
nessee Power Company at the Georgia-
Ten nessee State line, and with the
Southern Power Company, at Tallulah
Falls.
The Alabama Power Company has
very large steam stations located at
the coal mines in Alabama, so that in
addition to securing surplus hydro-elec
tric; power from the Alabama Power
Company when needed, this company
is likewise im position to obtain efie
trie energy generated from steam plants
of large capacity.
Asa matter of fart, not only are this
company's own generating stations all
back of the service at Winder, but
there is also hack of such service all
the developments of the main wnler
power companies of Georgia. Tennes
see. Carolina, and Alabama. Combined
they have about 1,200,000 H. P. in steam
You will observe, therefore, that
when these new lines are completed the
electric service at Winder will be as
reliable and dependable as it is reason
ably possible to make service.
1 think you could safely state to the
people of Winder that they can, with
confidence, solicit the location at Win
der of any manufacturing enterprise,
no matter how large or small, with the
soreness that whatever electric power Is
required for operation can bo supplied,
in a manner as reliable and dependable
as possible, and at rates that will com
pare favorably with rates for similar
service anywhere else.
I might likewise call your attention
to the fact that under the rate struct
ure of this company, as approved by the
Railroad Commission, the hodro-elec
trle rates are the same over the entire
territory served hv the company. While
these rates vary to the particular cus
tomer in accordance with his load, the
same character of customer under the
same condition's receive the same rate
from this company, whether his facto
rv is located at Tallulah Falls, or at
Gainesville, or Atlanta, or Marietta, or
Rome, or Winder, or any other place
In the territory served hjv the company.
T am not sure that the facts stated
herein are what you want, hut it occurr
ed to me that they would prove of in
terest to your people.
Yours verv trnlv.
P. S. ARKWRIGHT.
