But, he declares, there are evidences of a “propaganda of pessimism” which produced a con dition of extreme nervousness and tension. . Expects Credit Balance in 1915. Despite the fact that customs will be ieduced from $318,891,395.86 for 1913 to the estimated sum of $249,- ( 000 in 1915, through tariff revision, Secretary McAdoo says that there will be plenty of money to run the Gov ernment. and it is estimated that there will be a credit balance next year and in 1915. The report, which covers the fiscal year ended June 30, 1913, estimates that, whereas the reduction in tariff ip venues may be more than $69,000.- 000. the estimated receipts from cor porations and individuals under the income tax clause of the Underw ood tariff law will be about $105,000,000. The recommendations of Secretary McAdoo are few. Among them are the following: That the Secretary' of the Treas ury's contingent fund be increased from $20,000 to $50,000. That four new revenue cutters be acquired by the Government. That the expense of maintaining ice patrols in the North Atlantic 0< can to warn liners of icebergs be abolished and safe lanes charted or that the steamship companies pay the cost of maintaining such patrols.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of B. F. STOCKTON p CUM B IN G 24 S. PRYOR STREET BOTH PHONES 1«I Well, the Christmas Editor has real treat to announce to-day for friends of the Empty Stocking Fund and for those who should be friends. The biggest, most dazzling, most entertaining and highest priced (but not to you) star matinee ever held in Atlanta is going to be put on at the Atlanta Theater Friday, Decem ber 12. for the benefit of the young sters whose belief in Santa Claus needs your help to save it from being badly shattered. Now, jot the date down before you forget it. It’s going to be the greatest the atrical event in Atlanta’s history. Stage stars known on two continents will give—as stage folk always do when they hear the call of the needy I —of their time and talent to avert the tragedy of the empty stocking. Local Players, Too. There will be* men and women of the “legitimate,” w’hose salaries are i not much lower than the President’s; | stars of variety that have to pay an income tax almost every' week; and— iri addition—local talent that w f ill open your eyes to the cleverness of some of the folks you know. The program’s being made up now. Its details will be announced soon, and—as one of the Empty Stocking Fund kids might say—It sure is going to be a whopper. In the meantime: Down on Whitehall street is a win dow filled with toys and dolls, and the hundreds of other thing'/ em blematic of Christmas, that fill the hearts of boys and girls with joy. Some of the toys and dolls are me chanical and are in motion, and all through the day Juvenile Atlanta— and adult Atlanta, too—clusters be fore the window. A woman and a little boy scarcely 6 years old stopped in front of the window Wednesday morning. The woman was clothed plainly. She had no furs about her neck; she made shift to protect herself from the chill air by buttoning her worn jacket close to her throat. Her ungloved hands had never felt the warm fur of a muff. The child, in a thin red Buster Brown suit, shivered. His shoes were overrun at the heel§, and they were so large they flapped curiously as he walked. lie wore no gloves, and he kept his little hands warm by thrust ing them into the front of his jacket. Others There, Well Clad. The mother and her child stopped in front of the window. Little girls and boys enveloped in furs stood there, excitedly telling their mothers, warmly and stylishly clad, just what they wanted old Santa Claus to bring them—and the mothers smilingly promised “to speak to Santa about it.” The poor little boy with the worn shoes and the thin clothes gazed at the toys with every line of his little face reflecting joy. He watched with fascinated eyes the mad whirlings of u red and green mechanical fire en gine and a long, red engine and train of cars. His mother watched, too, and the sadness in her eyes deepened. She gripped the little hand tighter. The little boy raised his shining eyes. “Mama, can I have a fire engine for Christmas?” She stroked the little head. "I—I—I'm afraid not, dear.” IT Papa, Buy Me a Bradley d rain We sell only the guaranteed kind. If you find an imperfection, the part will be replaced. -==LET us show you ===- How these trains run.

I Government Inspector Conducts Investigation of Increased Cost of Cold Storage Products. —— # Eg-gs—cold storage eggs- are sell ing for 45 cents in Atlanta Wedr.es- day. The price may go skyward, or it may take a drop, the produce men asked about it weren’t quite sure themselves. In the meantime J. L. Bale.v, local head of the Department of Justice, is continuing his investigation in the price of eggs and into who ia hold ing them in Atlanta. Baley is acting under orders from the Attorney Gen eral and his report will be made to Washington. There is one thing which is easy to see; eggs are being sold at whole sale and retail for uniform prices and it is evident that there is little or no competition in that respect. The retail dealers say tney are sell ing fresh country eggs, but tTie ex perts on hen products say there ar; very few, if any, honest-to-goodness fresh eggs on the market at this time of the year. As in every other city In the United States, at the present time there is J a shortage of eggs on the Atlanta I market. Baley Tuesday afternoon visit *d half a dozen produce dealers’ and in terviewed the managers. Just what ‘ he learned Js not known, as his re port must go to Washington before iV can be made public. He continued his investigation to-day and will be at work for two or three days more it will be finished. There is a difference In opinion among the egg dealers in Atlanta. A reporter who talked with several found that some of the dealers be lieved that prices were being held up by the Northern markets, while oth ers believed that the shortage on the markets was due to the fact that few eggs had been put in cold storage last spring.

But NO!— we’ll pass the price advantage on to you right now* when the suits will do you the most good. To this lot of suits we have added the broken lines of other suits that were worth from $23.50 to $30—we couldn’t get full price for them 'k’hon suits just as good were selling for $14.75. In all, then, there are 148 suits whose prices earlier in the season would have been $23.50, $25, $27.50 and $30, to sell Thursday for just $14.75.

The little boy began to cry, softly. “I never did see Santa Claus, mama,” he sobbed; “I never had any thing to play with. J want a fire en gine.” And then they went away, the mother holding the little boy close, as though she feared that he, too, would be taken from her as all the joy and happiness of childhood had been taken from him. The child sobbed, and the mother winked hard to keep back the tea rs And all he wants is a little red and green fire engine. It’ll cost maybe a quarter, maybe a half dollar And he can’t have it! Have you ever stopped to think, Mr Atlanta Man, that there are hun dreds of such children In Atlanta— hundreds who want nothing but a cheap little red and green fire en gine? And can’t have it, because all the money the father makes must go for the bare necessities of life? It's Up to You. And after you begin to think about it, after you get the thought of these poor little children in your mind— what kind of a Christmas is YOURS going to be if you don’t do .something for them—something to bring the light to their eyes and joy to thel» | souls? Watch your own children play around the house to-nightr—and then ask yourself how you’d reel if you had to tell THEM that Santa Claus wasn’t coming this year. Of course, you don’t HAVE to help the poor little children. You CAN keep your dollar or your five dollars and buy yourself a new necktie or a I new shirt: but Which had you rather have? A new shirt or the knowledge that you had saved a little heart from the greatest of childish sorrows, and the knowledge that a grateful mother is incfliding you in her prayers to the Almighty? It is up to YOU to make a choice. If YOU value a shirt or a necktie more than you value that warm feel-I lng. that Indescribable exhilaration of I soul that follows a good deed—then j keep your money and spend It as you see fit. But if YOU had rather bring peace and happiness to a home; if YOU had rather awake Christmas morning knowing that through YOU some lit- ile boy or girl is romping and shout ing in the acme of earthly happiness j |—then write out a check or put some ! money in an envelope and mall it to j the Christmas Editor of The Ameri can fend Georgian. | It will be applied to the Empty ■ Stocking Fund—and the little boys will get their fire engines and the lit- I tie girls will get their dolls.
