W. R. Hearst Adds
$100 to Xmas Fund
For Atlanta Poor
William Randolph Hearst Thurs
day morning added $100 to The
Georgian-American Empty Stock
ing Fund, which is being raised
to bring Santa Claus into the
homes of hundreds of Atlanta s
poor children.
Mr. Hearst’s action in making a
donation to the Atlanta fund is in
line with his policy of contributing
heavily to the work of giving poor
children a happy Christmas in ev
ery city where he ha6 papers. Every
Hearst paper in the United States
— Los Angeles, New York, San
Francisco and other cities—is try
ing to raise a fund of sufficient
proportions to bring Christmas to
every home that otherwise would
face the tragedy of the empty
stocking.
In 1912 the Hearst papers in the
United States raised more than
$100,000. which was devoted to the
benefit of the poor little boys and
girls. The generous response
which the citizens of Atlanta and
other cities are making to the ap
peals this year indicate that the
1913 Christmas fund will be the
largest in the history of the move
ment.

The Attorney General’s office in
