Not that they care to vote, or any thing like that, hut because they are playing the game of politics from sheer enthusiasm in an effort to obtain a new school building for the Davis Street school. And they are bubbling over with joy, too, for they have scored their first win. The first plunge Into the political arena was made yesterday afternoon when they "assailed' Councilman J. J. Greer, of the Fifth ward, and came out with colors flying high. These girlish politicians—little Misses Marcelle Lyon, Ina Louise Harris and Gladys Hill—all bright pupils of the Davis Street school, swooped down on the councilman, told him they “want him to build them a new and up-to-date school house," and— Councilman Greer “Taken." The councilman capitulated. That’s why they’re so happy. Little Miss Marcelle, who is the daughter of Professor and Mrs A. A. Lyon, is in the fifth grade. Miss Ina Louise is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Harris and is in the sixth grade, while Miss Gladys, a member of the second grade, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hill. le was with an unbreakable detrml nation to win that the three girls start ed their personal campaign for a new school, and they "fired the opening guns" with such confidence and clev erness as would have done credit to some of the old regulars—the ever present “astute politicians." Children Into Campaign. When the teachers in the Davis Street school Monday determined to make a fight for a new building, one that will meet tile demands of the school,- and urged the children to interest their parents in the move, thia trio of little girls decided on a personal campaign. They talked over the matter, just like real politicians, and formed themselves into a committee. Councilman Greer was seated yester day afternoon in his office in tlie Em pire building when three little girls were announced. Taken by surprise, he promptly admitted them. Tripping into the office, the wee politicians swarmed about the councilman, who dropped pen and business, and instantly was all at tention. "My little ladies, what can I do foi you?" asked the genial official as he smiled upon his little callers. Councilman Is Touched. Mr Greer, we’re a committee from the Davis Street school, and we want you to build us a new school house." explained little Miss Marcelle Lyon, as sh“ laid a tender little hand appeal ingly on the councilman's arm. "And if you’ll just help us. we know we if get it. too." spoke up little Miss Ina Louise Harris. The councilman, affectionately pat ting one of the little suffragists on the head, was just about to reply when little Miss Gladys Hill, catching hold of his other arm. and In a pleading tone spoke up: "Pleas' do.

We want a new school so badly.” “Just Count on Me,” The councilman placed his arms about the three little girls and smiled broadly. The little politicians had won 1 —and they knew it. Glancing up into his beaming eyes, they smiled glee fully as he remarked: "Where is the tnan who could resist such a committee as this?” And then he added, quickly: "Just count on me, my little girls. I'm the best friend Davis Street school i has In Atlanta. Os course, you need a ■ new school, and just put it down that i I’m going to do all I can to help you i get it Don’t fail to call on me. It'll - be one of my greatest pleasures to i place you little girls tn a brand-new ! school building." The councilman was well rewarded for his pledge by the sensation of joy i that ran riot in his heart and by the scene that followed. For he had made three little girls wonderfully happy. Clapping their hands and fairly leap ing and dancing in an ecstacy of de light. the girlish committee almost smothered the smiling councilman with ' thanks, just such profuse thanks as only a joyful child can give. Also Win a Treat. The little girls had played the game well and had won—today they feel as ft a new school building is a certainty. When the conference was at an end and the jollification had somewhat sub sided, Councilman Greer seized his hat and beckoned to the trio of girls, with the invitation: "Come with me." Into the nearest ice cream parlor thi little party filed and, as guests of the councilman, the girls enjoyed a deli cious treat ice cream soda. Their unanimous verdict today is that Councilman Greer is "the finest man in town." TAYLOR QUITS EXILE TO RETURN TO BRIDE LOUISVILLE. KY . Dec. 5.—W S.

He told the proprietor of the big cloth ing store in lower Peachtree, where he. ■ carried his woes, fresh and palpitating ' from room No. 13 in one of the nearby i big hotels, that Atlanta certainly seemed t to care less for heat in cold weather and , more for heat in warm weather than any I town he ever visited. And then he went on to explain: ' "I was in Chattanooga a few Weeks ago. and while there I purchased a real nifty rubberized raincoat. I am not a 1 cheap man, and when I went forth to , get one of those coats 1 got a good one— paid $25 for it, as a matter of fact. “Well, when I retired last night, it was so warm 1 had to let up all the windows and throw half the cover off the bed; and before I turned In I threw my new coat ■ over the steam radiator, not thinking i there would be any steam turned on. of i course; and perhaps not really thinking ( any harm could come to my coat anyway. “When 1 awoke this morning well, say! The steam had been turned on all right, and that coat of mine was distributed all ’ over the place, in nice little rubber rivu ( lets! "It didn't smell any too good, and I I hope it didn’t ruin the carpet. But if it did I shall not distress myself about it Served the hotel right for turning on the steam, and the thermometer up 1 about 70. "Oh, yes. I might have gathered up that coat by the spoonful, and maybe it might have been molded back into shape, but I guess I’ll buy another coat not another rubberized coat, thank you. Think a plain old woolen thing, like mother used to make, will do me this time.” FARMERS GET RECORD MILK PRICE IN N. Y. NEW YORK.

Ap parently there was a trace of envy j n their remarks, for the’ exhibits surely were wonderful, but occasionally an exclamation of genuine delight won’ 1 rise from some group as the amber beauty of great preserved peaches would catch their eyes or the beaming redness- of rich apple jelly brought water to their mouths. Many of them preferred the exhibits of corn, scorning the work of their own sex, and though they were very wary of stiangers and loath to talk before them, an occasional tale of some won derful yield in the olden days would reach the bystander's ears. 25,000 Ears of Corn Shown. The corn show presents the greatest exposition of the work of boys and girls ever seen in the South. Twenty-five thousand ears of corn, all raised by Georgia boys, most of them under six teen years of age, are on exhibition, while canned goods of every descrip, tion have been sent in by hundreds of girls, members of the girls canning clubs all over the state. Good wives for hard-working farm ers these girls will make, if their can ning exploits are any Indication of their housekeeping ability. Canned beans, cucumbers, corn, pumpkin, squash, beets, peas, tomatoes, peaches and many other like products have been sent by the girls, who show that their knowl edge of supplying the inner man is just as great as is the boys’ in supplying the country with grain. All kinds of jellies and preserves cause hundreds of country-bred but city-living people to cast longing eyes, but all in vain, for the girls are so proud of their exhibits that many of them absolutely refuse to sell. kodaks--. .
