REJECTJDFFER Officials of Gainesville Midland, In Ef fort to Save Road Ask Employees to Accept Reduction in Wages. The Gainesville Midland Railway, a road in which the people of this sec tion of the state are interested, has been losing money during the past 12 months and if something is not done to reduce its expenses, will be forced to discontinue operation. This will be a calamity to every citizen and proper ty owner along its line. The following letter was addressed to the employees of the railroad by Mr. Geo. J. Bald win, the president on February 13th, in his efforts to solve the difficult sit | uation: To the Employees of the Gainesville Midland Railway, Gentlemen The I Gainesville Midland Railway has lost I in operating expenses over and above I all income and revenue during the last twelve months $84,484.87, and this loss is continuing with no apparent pros pect of improvement. Under these conditions, which havei crippled the road, it is clearly apparent to everyone that unless immediate relief can be secured it can no longer continue to op erate. , We have no credit and no means of securing additional funds. The wages of employees have increas ed from the sum of $83,343.20 paid in 1917 to $180,913.02 in 1920. The principal owners of the road and mortgage creditors have indicated a willingness to defer any interest or in come on the investment of over a mil lion dollars in this property for the next six months in order to relieve the situation as far as they can. The proposition is therefore made to the employees to devote all income from the operation of the road during this period to the payment of necessa ry operating expenses and to the wages of employees for the above period of six months, and to readjust the payroll on this basis. This is the only possible way the road can continue to operate and we therefore urge your serious considera tion and immediate acceptance of this plan. Yours very truly, GAINESVILLE MIDLAND RY. Geo. J. Baldwin, President. Salmon Worth Taking. The biggest salmon ever taken In the fresh waters of New Hampshire re cently was cpnght In Lake Sunapee. Its weight was 27 pounds. The larg est previous salmon caught in Sunapee weighed about 15 pounds. of about "one-tenth of this amount in a properly conducted health campaign. Another county reports the saving of about $270,000.00 by a well con ducted anti - malaria campaign. To conduct this campaign it cost only about one-sixteenth of the total amount saved. In other words, for every dollar .spent by the health work ers sixteen dollars were saved to the citizens of the county. Health Is really cheap, although it is a purchastble commodity. Disease is very, very expensive. THE HARDER THE TIMES THE MORE WE MUST PROTECT OUR HEALTH. Former Winder Woman Wins Success As Artist Mrs. Kathleen Hulme Smith, of Athens, Ga., made $5400 last year from her paintings. She painted both portraits and land scapes. Among her subjects were old Georgia dwellings. One of her patrons, a man who lives near Athens, has commissioned her to paint his boyhood home, and will pay SI,OOO for the picture. When Mrs. Smith was a little girl, her teachers and her mother scolded her for constantly drawing pictures on her writing tablets and even the walls. But the scolding did no good; she kept at her sketching. When she be gan taking drawing lessons at Lucy Cobb, her work immediately excited comment. During her eight years there she was grounded in the principles of painting by Miss Jennie Smith. The artist’s marriage did not lessen her interest in paint brushes. On the other hand, while attending to house keeping and proving the best of moth ers to her two little daughters, she still found time to paint in her new home in Winder, Ga. Two years ago her husband died of influenza and she returned to Athens to live with her parents,, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Hulme. She continued her art work, and what began as a pas time has brought in within a year a return of $5,400. She is just completing the picture for which she is to receive SI,OOO. The canvas measures 40 by 72 inches. Mrs. Smith sketched it during several visits to the scene. Perhaps she has done nothing so good, certainly nothing bet ter —her thorough and painstaking workmanship and knowledge of draw ing are excellently exhibited on this large canvas. It is a typical glimpse of a colonial home in the country, a BLUE GEM • COAL Phone 65 Phone 65 We are in business again to serve our customers and friends who want a HIGH GRADE COAL.

Clair Harris .INDKR NJBWS farm yard nearby, a cotton patch, well and servant’s house in the background shaded by huge trees. She has grasp ed the scene with such cleverness oe thinks a brook runs back of these trees on through the meadow farther away. j The wish of the patron to have the picture of his father and the old col ored man servant on the front porch entailed working from photographs. Mrs. Smith has breathed into physical resemblance the spirit and quiet per sonality of the little group. The painting of these into the scene shows the imaginative vein of the artist. There is a poetic quietness about the whole scene. Earlier in the year Mrs. Smith paint ed one of the oldest homes in Athens — making two pictures, one for the own er and the other for the daughter of the house who lives in Kentucky. Her sincere handling of her subject and ease of brushwork brought flattering financial results. Mrs. Smiths painted ten portrait since January, 1920. She has rare sym pathy with children and expresses it finely in her paintings of them. The soft flesh is rendered with such tine fidelity one expects the picture to speak. Her portraits of grown-ups are equally as tine. The eyes of her subjects and the general color are es pecially noteworthy.—Sunday's Jour nal.
