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 heels, and they were
so large they flapped curiously as he
walked. He 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 bov with the worn
shoes and the thin clothes gazed at
the toys with every line of his little
face reflecting jay. He watched with
fascinated eyes the mad whirlings of
a 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.
”1—I—I’m afraid not, dear.”

"Won’t Santa Claus bring it to me,
mama, if you ask him to?”
“I hope so, honey; but I don’t
know,” the mother said, chokingly.
The little boy began to cry, softly.
"I never did see Santa Claus,
mama,” he sobbed; “I never had any
thing to play with. I want a fire en
gine.”
And then they went away, the
mother holding the little hoy 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
tears
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 aro 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 thei»
souls?
Watch your own children play
around the house to-night—and then
ask yourself how you’d feel if you
had to tell THEM that Santa Claus
wasn’t coming this year.
Of course, you don’t HAVE to heir
the poor little children. You CAN I
keep your dollar or your five dollars
and buy yourself a new necktie or a
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
including 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
[ ing, that Indescribable exhilaration of
soul that follows a good deed—then
| 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
tle boy or girl Is romping and shout
ing in the acme of earthly happiness
—then write out a check or put some
money in an envelope and mail it to
the Christmas Editor of The Ameri
can and 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.

Christmas fund, including the amount

In the meantime J
| head of the
L. Baley, local
Department of Justice,
is continuing his investigation in the
price of eggs and into who Is ' «■! !-
ing them in Atlanta. Baley is ac ting
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 they are sell,
ing fresh country eggs, but fhe ex
perts on hen products say there ar>
very few, If any, hon©st-to-g<>odness
fresh eggs on the market at this time
of the year.
t As in every other city in the United
Suites, at the present time there is
a shortage of* eggs on the Atlanta
market.
Baley Tuesday afternoon visited
half a dozen produce dealers and in
terviewed the managers. Just what
he learned is not known, as his re
port must go to Washington before
K can be made public. He continued
his investigation to-day and will he
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
fbund that some of the dealers be
lieved that prices were being held up
hv the Northern markets, while oth
ers believed that the shortage on the
markets was doe to the fact that few
eggs had been put In cold storage last
spring.

suits that were cancelled | /\ ’ i
come to us at about half a|j f m m
of what we would have sT
paid earlier in the season.
We could doubtless sell many of these suits at their
usual price of $25 to $30 and dispose of the rest, of
them at the end of January at $14.75. Hut NO!—
we’ll pass the price advantage on to yem
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 when 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.

There are satiny broadcloths, sturdy serges,
