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.” will be replaced.

Broad St. "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.

Kggg—cold storage eggs-are sell ing for 45 cents in Atlanta Wednes day. The price may go skyward, or it drop, the produce men it weren't quite sure | may take asked about I themselves. 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. j Cancellation Sale: New and i Distinguished $25 to $30 Suits «R A maker’s orders of ** * jmm pari 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.
