| What is the best gift for a husband
or wife?
Of course. ; <ould have written out
lists of things to give, but that would
not have a omplished my purpose.
I thought that if our readers could
ha\e the benefit of the experience of
others who had solved the problem
to their own satisfaction their Ideas
surely would be of value.
I am free to confess that J was not

simply overwhelmed with sugges

be impossible to print all the letters,

Miss Mary Lea Davis
In-our national life we are con
fronted wPh tnree great prob
lento, viz., the high cost of living,
domestic disturbances, resulting
in divorces to an alarming extent,
and extravagance. To remedy
these evils and create perfect
harmony in the homes, would

SOMETHING FOR HOME.

We have been married only
three years and have Just com

THE GREATEST GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Just what present a husband
should giye his wife depends al
together upon circumstances. It
does not matter so much what
the gift is. if it is tendered in the
right spirit end reflects past con
duct and future course. A faded
rose, given with a cheery smile
and a loving kiss, would be more
appropriate than a diamond ring
offered as a peacemaker A. lov
lug word from a loyal husband is
o-alculated to bring more pleas
lire to a trusting wife than a
purse of gold from a rake, a scold
or an inebriate. When a wife,
has her husband's love and re
spect she is already the possessor
of the greatest gift he can be
stow and any present within his
means, however inexpensive will
give her pleasure, and is always
appropriate H M. S

A VACUUM CLEANER
Miss Mary Lea l>avis:
'Pile most useful gift a hus

thing she needs and wants. Ow
ing to circumstances, different
people need different things. My
wife does all of her work. There
fore I am going to give her
something to make her work
lighter, and it will be a vacuum
cleaner. Also a box of candy to
remind her of old times, and tell
her that she grows dearer to
me ns the years roll by, for she
does. And a promise not to be

WHAT HE NEEDS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
What a wife shall give a hus
band depends upon the income.
Men lik«- t-> buy their OWH things
generally. A duplicating letter
book with a dozen stamped en
velope is a good present, or a
pocket knift or fountain pen
whatever he needs most, but she
must not expect a costly present
in return so he will not dread
what should be the happiest time

FOR A HUSBAND
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best thing to give to your
husband Christmas morning is to
tell him to sleep until he feels
like getting up. give him a good
breakfast, hand him a box of ci
gars and tell him you wish him
a Merry Christmas and as many
more as the good Lord will grant

1 would suggest that to lake

A CHRISTMAS TURKEY.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
[ can think of nothing my hus
band would appreciate more than
a nice turkey for Christmas din
ner and to have me tell him what
a good husband he has been,
how T appreciate his loving deeds
and that I love him better now
than the day l became his bride.
That was 40 years ago.

A DIAMOND FOR WIFE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
There is nothing money could
buy that would be more appro
priate and appreciated mpre high
ly than a pure white sparkling
diamond about 1 1-4 carat. It is
a weakness of the female sex.
the love they have for the spar
kle of a bright ‘ gem ” A gift
of this kind will never deterior
ate from age. neither will it grow-
cold in her memory. It will al
ways carry a caah value and your
wife could at any time, should it
be necessary, realize cash money.
However, she would part with
any of her worldly possessions,
almost her husband, before she
would the diamond.

Miss Mary Lea Davis:
My t'iff istmas gift to my hus

TO PAY HiS POLICY.
Miss Mary la»a Davis:
i think the best Christmas gift
for my husband would be to pay
his life insurance in advance for
one year with the money I have
saved out of my allowances.
This will l>e an appreciation, a
surprise and a help for him.

DEVOTION.
Miss Mary »Lea Davis:
The most appropriate gift a
wife can bestow on her husband
as they both journey through
life is devotion, a care for her
husband's health, kind words,
neatness in dress and cooking
meals, not lazy, not caring if
school keeps or not A wife hav
ing such virtues, a husband would
mean indeed who would not ap
preciate such qualities in a wife.
Not a spendthrift to squander
money. B.

A WATCH DOG.

1 believe the most appropriate
cift for my wife is a tine dog

LIMESTONE FIELD
State Geologist Calls Attention to
Opportunity for Operation of
Profitable Plants.
Citing the lapid development in the
j ground limestone industry, which has
| increased to a vast extent owing to
1 'he use of limestone for agricultural
purposes. Professor S. W. McCallie.
State Geologist, in his quarterly re-
; port to the advisory hoard of the
State theological Survey, strongly ad -
| voented a widening of this field of
endeavor in the State.
‘ Formerly quick or hydrated lime
was used for agricultural purpoaes.
but at present ground limestone has
largely taken its place,” the report
states. This product is sol$ at $2.50
per ton
Plants such as the Portland Ce
ment Company at Portland, the
Whitestone Marble Company at
VVhltestone, the Southern Stone and
Marble Company, the Art Marble
Company and many others, never can
meet file demands upon them for this
product.
“The limestone contains in many
instances about 14 per cent Of car
bonate of magnesia. It is ground to
a fineness that 90 per cent passes
through a 100-mesh sieve.
“The total output of these several
plants, however, is not more than TOO
tons a day. Estimating two tons to
the acre, this would supply but 105,000
acres, approximately one-hundredth
of the improved lands in Georgia.
‘‘The prospects for an increase in
the use of ground limestone, there
fore, is encouraging.
‘‘To meet this increased demand
more plants should be established.
South Georgia affords the best field
for the newcomers. This region con
tains an abundance of suitable lime
stone, and the very great need of the
material in that section of the State
would afford an excellent market.”
