Modem Finds Girl Joy
In Work And Saving
Riding a "stick horBe” is more than an indoor sport to Eleanor Binford,
pretty 12-year-old Atlanta girl, for her "horse” ie a regular war-horse and
puts in many minutes a day with aB faithful service as the old-time hack
horses.
Eleanor is a regular girl of the present-day type. She has put aside
white organdie dresses, sashes and frills during “business hours,” and has,
douned overalls and Scout shoes. She sweeps aud dusts; nurses neighbors'
babies; polishes silver and does all sorts of odd jobs.
All of these things and many others she started doing when Uncle Sam
was appealing to every American to “help win the war.” Now that the
war’s won, Eleanor keeps just as busy as she ever did because she has
found joy in thrift aud is putting the money she earns try her industry in
War Savings Stamps. She has $125.00 already invested and is increasing it
every month.

ATLANTA NEWS LETTER
Atlanta, Ga., July 30.—With just a
few more working, days ahead, the
Georgia legislature is putting on full
steam in order to get through with
the important items of constructive
legislation before the allotted fifty
days shall have expired. Much valua
hie time has undoubtedly be^i saved
by the precision and promptness which
characterized thei consideration and
passage of the general appropriation
bill. The fact that the house did not
become eusnarled with the suffrage
fight over the Susan B. Anthony
amendment, also had natch to do with
the present situation, which is most
favorable to the enactment of much
vita 1 ly important legislation, J
Local bills are being passed daily
iu great numbers and general legisla- 1
tioft is being given the consideration
it merits. It is practically certain
that vniig kind of highway enactment
will be passed so that Georgia can go
ahead with a »»tat a system of bigh
wys with the assistance of the Feder¬
al government.
Many important measures are still
to be considered, among them being
the bill creating a separate Btate de¬
partment of banking, the proposal to
revise the tax system of the State,
tli?H measure providing that 50 per
cent of the State's revenue lie devoted
to common schools and the constitu¬
tional amendment calling for local
school taxes.
Atlanta intends that the next and
probably the last re-union of the Uni¬
ted Confederate Veterans shall be the
greatest sine,, the war between the
States, and no stoic> w ill be left un¬
turned to make it such. The re-uniou
will occur on October 7, 8, 9 and 10,
aud it is expected that not Mss than
50,000 persons will visit this city.
Th e entertainment program will he as
lavish as momjy and hearts can make
it. General reduced rates have been
offeivfl on all railroads. Although
only two months remain in which to
make preparations, the plans for the
big assemblage are going forward
without a hitch and the $60,000 which
is to be spent by Atlanta is now be¬
ing raised.
