Committee Recommends Reduc
tion in Representation—Geor
gia to Lose Six.
IDEAS MAKE GIFT
CONTEST SUCCESS
WASHINGTON. Her. 17 - A reduc
tion of 70 delegate* for the 1916 R*
publican National Committee from
the number in 1912 was recommend
ed to-day in the report to the nation
al committee by the subcommittee < f
nine named to decide the question of
representation. The reduction is
chiefly in the South.
The report of the subcommittee*,
compiled after an all-night session,
recommended that each State which
cwt over nr> per cent of its vole for
the Republican ticket at the preced
ing; election will be allowed two dele
gate* for each < 'ongrossionnl district,
whereas it shall be entitled to but
one if the Republican \otc. fall* below
3.'* per "cent. The election of 1908 is
to be the standard in 1916. because
the elections of 1912 are held to bo
“a bnormal.”
The plan recommended by the
subcommittee will reduce the- total
number of votes in the convention
from 1.021 to 951. The 70 votes elim
inated will be lost in the following
States: Illinois. 2; Kentucky. 1: Nev
Jersey. I; New York, 4. Alabama,
6. Florida, 2. Georgia, 6. Louisiana,
7; Mississippi, 8; North ‘‘arollna, 2;
Oklahoma, T; South Carolina, 7;
Tennessee. 1. Texas, 14; Virginia, 5.
It was at first planned to have the
tSasis of representation 25 per cent
of the vote cast. This, however, was
found to eliminate but 32 votes and
1h«* percentage was raised to 35 per
cent.

ing with that perplexing question.
What Is tlie be..t gift for a husband
or wife?
Of course. ' could have written out
lists of things to give, but that would
not 1 ave ,i .mpllshed my purpose
I thought that If our reader® could
have the benefit of the experience of
others who had solved the problem
to their own .'Satisfaction their ideas
surely would he of value
I cm free to confess that I was not
prepared for the flood of letters which
my offer brought forth. I have been
simply • >\erw helmed with sugges
tion- I realized early that it would
bf mpossible to print all the letters,
but I have tried to publish as many
as space would permit. Ml letters
received have been read and will be
considered.
Here are some that have come to
hand;
A "CHEERFUL HOME.”
Miss Mary Lea Davis.
1 think a Christmas gift should
be one that would fill the home
with cheer throughout the year.
A pet bird or puppy or kitten
would do this. I am going to
make my wife a present of a pet
this season, probably a singing
c anary bird. D. C. L.
A FOUNTAIN PEN.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The roost appropriate gift for
n husband is simply what he
nerds the most, be it wearing
apparel or anything else My
husband is a railway postal clerk
and w rites a lot, and as his foun
tain pen is broken 1 shall re
place it with a new one for his
gift this year. MRS. I’. E. E.

In our national life we are con
fronted wrh toree great prob
lems, viz., the high cost of living,
domestic disturbance®, resulting
in divorces to an alarming extent,
and extravagance. To remedy
theme evils and create perfect

SOMETHING FOR HOME.
Mims Mary Lea Davis.
We have been married only
three .'.ears and have .lust, com
menced io furnish a home of our
own, and have decided, between
ourselves, that we will buy some
necessary article to give each
other for this home on t'hrist-

THE GREATEST GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Just what present a husband
should give hie wife depends al-
together upon circumstance*. It
does not matter so much what
the gift is, if it is tendered in the
right spirit and 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
ing word from a loyal husband is
calculated to bring more pleas
ure to a trusting wife than a
purse of g ild 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 lie can be
stow and any present within his
means, however inexpensive, will
give hc*r pleasure, and is always
appropriate H. M. P

Miss Mary Lea D^vis:
The most useful gift a hus

ing to circumstances, different
people need different things My
wife docs all of her work. There
fore 1 am going to ’ give her
something to make her work
lighter, and it will be a vacuum

WHAT HE NEEDS.
M ss Mary Lea Dav
What a wife shall give a hus
band depends upon the im oine.
Mefi like to buy their own things
generally. A duplicating biter
book with a dozen stamped en
velope Ik a good present, or a
poeketknift or fountain pen --
whatever he nerds most, but she
must not expect a costly present
in return so he will not dread
what should be the happiest time
of the year. MRS. L. E.
Atlanta, Ga.
FOR A HUSBAND.
Miss Mary Lea. Davis
The best thing to give to your
husband Christmas morning is to
tell him to sleep until hr feels
like getting up, give him a good
breakfast, hand him a box of ci
gar and tell him you wish him
a Merry Christmas and as many
more as the good Lord will grant
him MRS. L. M. K.

CLEAR OF ALL DEBT
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most appreciated gift from
a wife to her husband would be
a clean expense account for 1913.
And if she can not d<, that, give
him a promise to help him get
clear of all debt and let him
know' how much help she is to
him.
A saving wife i* .a godsend to
her husband. MRS. E. V. S.

CONSIDERATION.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Christmas comes but once a
year and 1 hope and pray it will
bring good cheer, and if I can
bring it I will do so by telling
wifey I will get up with the kid
dies Christmas morning and for
her not to worry and take a good
rest, as I know she will be tired
enough before night, after seeing
to dinner and supper. T. J. K.
Kirkwood, Ga.
HER SUGGESTION.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I would suggest that to take
one’s husband out to dine with
his mother on the farm and he
a good and appreciative listener
to his after-dinner remarks and
suggestions would be a gift of
thoughtfulness any husband
would consider more precious
than a diamond pin with plati
num setting for a Christmas
gift. MRS. W. G. B.
Union Point, Ga.
ALSO A BIBLE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Let the wife give the husband
the assurance that lie has a re
ligious. true, energetic, hygienic
wife who is well worthy of her
situation and a Bible as a light
to their pathway. C. B. C.
Atlanta, Ga.
A RAINCOAT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I wish to present to my hus
band a nice raincoat and a pair
of overshoes and a nice umbrella,
as 1 think that is as useful a gift
as I can give. MRS. P. C. H.
Atlanta, Ga.
KEEP DOWN EXPENSES.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The gift that would be appre
ciated by the largest majority of
husbands would be for the wife
to restrain her Christmas enthu
siasm to such an extent that the
hills the first day of January will
not give him heart failure.

A CHRISTMAS TURKEY.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
T tan 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 fias been,
bow 1 appreciate his loving deeds
and that I love him better now
than the day 1 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 more 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 cash value and your
wife could at any time, should it
bo necessary, realize cash money.
However, she would part with
any of her worldly possessions,
almost her husband, before she
wuuld the diamond.

SOME OF HIS TIME.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
As my wife loves her flower
yard and puts all her spare time
in it and every thing to make her
home looke nice T know' what will
please her for a present above
all gifts about three of four
days of my time in and around
our home. 1 do this because I
have so little time to help her.
She buys anything she wants, so
my time is present enough for
her. J. J.

HER BEST GIFT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best thing a wife can give
her husband is trust, love, hon
or and obey him.

Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the best Christmas gift

one year with the money I have
saved < nt of rny allowances.

surprise and a help for him.

DEVOTION.
Miss Mary I.*ea Davis:
The most appropriat gift a
wife can bestow on her husband
as they both journey through
life Is devotion, a tare for her
husbands health, kind word 8
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
