Don’t forget the Brenau club |
musical. Come out and get the 1
Christmas spirit
Mr. F. M. Brown, son of Mr. and
Mrs. B. T. Brown, of Bio, returned
home last Sunday from York Town,
Va., after three years of service in
the U. S. Marines.
Capt. F. M. Carter, of Anderson,
S. C., has been spending several days
here visiting his many relatives and
friends, all of whom are always glad
to see him back in the old home town.
Mr. and Mrs. Isham B. Hailey’s
friends rejoice with them in the im
provement of their little daughter,
Myrtice Mildred, who recovery is
now anticipated after several weeks
of critical illness.
Mr. W. E. Meredith will spend
Thursday and Friday in Atlanta on
business.
Bring your friends and visitors
with you to the musical on Friday
the 26.
Two Sun Rays pages this week.
Someone “got after’’ us last week
because we didn’t have some local
item in The Sun. Tha best reason
we could give for not printing it
was that we didn’t know anything
about the matter. Being human, we
have to be told the news just like
other folks. We print what we know,
—er, that is, that part of it we think
wise to print.
Mrs. Clarence Herring, of Atlanta,
visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
T. O’Barr, and Mr. and Mrs. E. B.
Herring here last week.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Myer
Saul, at 475 Washington St., Atlan
ta, had a narrow escape recently
when the house next door burned to
the ground. The roof of the Saul
home caught fire, but was quickly
extinguished.
In writing for newspapers you
should spell out every word, and ab
breviate nothing. Also spell words
and paragraph as you desire it to ap
pear in print. Newspapers lose many
hours trying to figure out things that
could be made very simple with a
few minutes extra time on the part,
of the writer. Write on one side of
the paper and write heavily.
The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
J. Tucker regret to hear that they
have moved to Due West, S. C. They
have the best wishes of all in their
new home.
Mrs. B. J. Pulliam, of Sebring,
Fla., arrived this week to spend the
holidays with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. C. B. Brown. The friends of (
Mrs. Brown regret to learn that she
has not yet fully recovered from her
recent illness.
Next week’s issue of The Sun will
be printed Tuesday night. All copy
must be in by Monday night, without
fail.
You've heard of “bull-dog tena
city,’’ no doubt, and Mr. J. E. Car
ter has a bull dog that has a full
portion. One night last week hear
ing the dog raising a commotion at
the door, as if trying to get in and
tell Mr. Carter what the trouble was,
he opened the door to let the dog in.
Mr. Carter closed the door but the
dog continued his barking, and
couldn't wait longer to get outside
again, so he just leaped at the near
est door, going through glass and all.
Following the dog outside, Mr. Car
ter could find nothing, however, as
the dog had very likely scared the
intruder away.
Help a girl of the Hartwell High
School to win a scholarship to
Brenau college by attending Brenau
club musical,
r —o —
Jane and Charles, children of Mrs.
Charles McEwin, are both up again,

Friends of Mr. George W. White,

attend Brenau college? If so attend
the musical and have her enter the
contest for the scholarship.

PLAYING SAFE IN
CHRISTMAS GIVING
RANKER CHISHOLM refused ac-
TJa commodation to persons who
seemed the most successful mer
chants in town, and to some of the
wealthiest citizens. An account over
checked by even a dollar received
quick notice. It was as if Banker
Chisholm had a finger on the pulse of
the town, and whenever a pulse fal
tered he withdrew. He was not run
ning a hospital.
So he became known as “Stony
Face,” "Frost,” “Bloodless,” and the
like. Even the many solicitors of
charity went to him without expec
tation.
Each Christmas mysterious turkeys
were left at doors whose owners were
not expecting to have any. Loads of
wood and tons of coal appeared in
the same way. Banker Chisholm
could have told something about them.
Only one person in town really un
derstood, and that was Andy Searles,
an old seatmate at school. Andy was
a failure, and indifferent about it, but
he was a dose-mouthed participant in
his friend’s secrets.
One day the banker called him into
his back room.
“Here is a thousand dollars, Andy,”
he began, nodding at a roll on the
table. "1 want you to slip it into your
pocket and distribute it where you feel
it will make the most Christmas.”
“In your name this time, Bill. I
don’t like what they call you.”
Banker Chisholm reached for the
money.
“Then I won’t give anything,” he
said. "You remember how my prede
cessor. Mr. Wade, almost ruined him
self and the bank by his reckless gen
erosity and accommodation to unsafe
borrowers. If I became known as an
easy giver, I would be attacked by a
horde of friends, and—l’m afraid I’m
too soft-hearted to play safe. The
only way is to keep up my reputation
of 'Stony Face.’ It is my salvation.
I’m sorry you—”
"Oh, all right,” interrupted Andy
gruffly. "Give me the money. I'll dis
tribute it where I see need, and want
of a Merry Christmas." —Frank Her
bert Sweet.

“Prisons” May Yet Be
Maintained in Open
Prison in the open air seems a con
tradiction in itself, for the very word
"prison” calls up the idea of incarcera
tion in locked and walled-up buildings.
However, there Is such a thing, and
it is in Holland that very successful
experiments have been made with out
door prisons.
Sixty persons were drafted to the
town of Veenhulzen, to serve their
term there. Their task was to con
vert moorland into cultivated field,
and they showed themselves very In
dustrious In the undertaking. They
are divided into gangs, each containing
a few persons, but are not supervised
or watched by any sort of warder or
official; these prisoners may live In
common and advance their social
sense, unsubjected to supervision.
The foreman of each gang is, how
ever, not a prisoner, but a workman
who Joins voluntarily. It would not be
difficult to escape under such condi
tions, but no one has hitherto attempt
ed to do so. The environment is much
more favorable than in an ordinary
prison, and the Dutch government is
considering setting up several centers
of tills sort.
Proper food correctly prepared, with
not too much salt, eaten in moderation,
goes a long way towards good health.
It goes without saying that food must
be properly masticated —not bolted.
To masticate well one must have good
teeth. Take time for your meals; rest
a short period after eating.
Every citizen of Georgia should be
interested in the health of the state,
and to do so intelligently should study
the law under which the health w’ork
is done. Copies of this law will be
mailed on request by the State Board
of Health. Atlanta.
Plenty of fresh air and sunshine are
i essentia! to good health. Get your
I share; add to this rest and you have
‘ the trinity that will produce long life

WHAT EVERY WOMAN
LOVES
SHE loves to be told once in a while
that the older she gets the prettier
she gets.
• • •
She likes to realize that her efforts
to make one dollar do the work of
two are thoroughly appreciated.
• • »
She adores being called “baby” or
“lovey-dovey,” even when she is over
fifty.
• • •
She also adores being bossed occa
sionally and ordered to do things
which she simply loves doing.
(For instance, making her husband
apple-dumplings or kissing him behind
his left ear.)
• • •
She loves to be told she Is getting
shabby, and that her husband Is get
ting fed up with the sight of her best
hat and would like to see her in an
other.
• « •
She likes to be told that none of
her photos do her justice.
• * •
She adores having her husband re
fer to “My Wife” every time he com
mences a conversation.
• * •
She loves to know he carries her
miniature, in his watch and has a lock
of her hair hidden amongst his pri
vate papers.
* * *
She likes to have a letter from him
every day when he has to be away
from home.
* « •
And she adores a good little cry
now and again somewhere about the
region of his shirt-front, and having
him wipe away the crocodile tears
with a tobacco-smelly hanky.
• • •
She likes to hear him say some
times, "Oh, let’s eat downtown," and
she loves to powder her nose an’d
dress up to go with him.
* • •
And above all, she adores to realize
that if her husband had the chance
to be someone else he would always
choose to be her second husband.

Reflections of a
Bachelor Qirl
Bq HELEN ROUTLAND
THE average love affair begins with
■ kiss—of experiment, and ends
with a sigh—of relief.
The attitude of a man toward a girl
has changed from a plea to a dare —
from "Let me kiss you!” to “Make me
kiss you—if you can!’’
Men, according to the modern girl's
philosophy, are merely a side-line.
Still, they are the only thing there is
to flirt with, dance with, fall in love
with or marry; and that’s all they
have to be, after all.
It is always blossom time in the
heart of a woman who Is loved —and
always May time in the heart of a
man who is in love.
Men have a funny code, all their
own. A cowpuncher is ashamed to be
seen in an evening coat; an ex-bar
tender blushes to be caught serving
soda water; and a married man hates
to be caught buying flowers for his
own wife. Yet, all of these things are
perfectly respectable.
Every man wanta a woman to ap
peal to his higher nature and his
Finer Instincts—and another woman to
help him forget them.
When a man waits until five years
after marriage to discover that his
wife's cooking disagrees with him, or
to pick flaws in her housekeeping, it
is a sign that she should get, some
pretty new clothes, a new hairdresser,
and a new beauty cream.

Her Awful Mistake
Tim had met with the misfortune of
falling from the fourteenth floor of
the skyscraper on which he was work
ing.
His fellow workmen picked up the
remains and started with them to
Tim’s home, sending Terry ahead to
break the sad news to Tim’s wife.
Terry thumped on the Malone door
until Mrs. Malone appeared.
“Are you the Widow Malone, thin?”
he asked.
“And I am not,” she answered. ‘Tm
Mrs. Malone, but not widow.”
"And are ye not?” demanded the
bearer of ill tidings. “Will ye tell
me that and look what the byes are

Huge Insect Collection
The British museum possesses by
far the most comprehensive insect col
lection In the world, says London Tit-
Bits. It has not until quite recently
been possible to make an exact cat
alogue of all items, but after three
years’ work one has now been com
pleted and published.
According to this, the collection con
tains 1,118,000 insects. There are 325,-
767 butterflies of 40.210 different
kinds, 398,000 beetles of 67,300 differ
ent kinds. Os bees, wasps and winged
ants there are 19,608 kinds. Os bugs,
flies, gnats and mosquitoes there are
7,267 species represented; of grass
hopper types 3,900. and of plant lice
21 species In 140 items.
Private donors have done most to
swell the collection. One alone gave
230,000 insects, another 30,000. while
one entire collection of butterflies
which was presented consisted of 31.-
130 specimens.
Occasionally a man is so great tha
that he is missed for nearly a wee
after his death.
An empty cupboard contains muc
food for thought.
