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.

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. ATTENTION.

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. Prtaklpnt. No. 42
