committees of the Georgia
m* Chamber of Commerce, Atlan-
• I vision, pledged to raise $12.5000
■s part of the $50,000 fund to be
nt in 1914 to further the farming
sts of Georgia.
With the $2,525 already subscribed,
total to noon Friday amounted to
« ^74. leaving $0,626 yet to be sub-
^ t ibed. The majority of the sub
reptions. however, were for three
ears, so the amounts received really
made a very impressive showing, as
most of the subscribers were pledged
to give an equal amount in 1915 and
1916, as well as in 1914, for which
the present campaign is raising
money.
W. F. Parkhurst, in making the re
port for his committee, stated that
an Atlanta man who wished his name
not to be made public had agreed,
pending an arrangement with the
State Chamber of Commerce, to give
$500 for educational books—books
i n “efficiency”—for the State Library
and to pay $1,200 for the employment
of an assistant to the librarian who
would see that proper use was made
of the books.
Following are the amounts report- j
ed by the various committees:

There was a veritable avalanche of
letters on the closing day of the
Christmas present contest. AH let
ters which came yesterday will be
considered, but none after that.
I shall announce the names of the
successful contestants in to-mor
row s Georgian. The gold pieces will
go forward at once so that those to
whom they are sent will have the
money in ample time before Christ
mas.
This has been the most successful
contest ever Inaugurated by The
Georgian's magazine page. It cer
tainly was popular. I can attest to
t.iat part, because I received and read
every one of the letters.
And the idea itself was a success.
I know of a good many married peo
ple who were aided in solving the
Christmas gift problem bv reading
the suggestions offered by our read
ers.
Here are some of the last letters
received:
A MAN’S IDEA.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most appropriate gift a
husband could give his wife would
be to give her free access to his
pocketbook, with the promise
never to ask her to give an ac
count of the money she spends.
Also a promise to vote for wom
an’s suffrage. A. S. B.
Chauncey, Ga.
FOR A HUSBAND.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
In selecting a Christmas pres
ent, remember the recipient, not
the giver, should he pleased. If
husband likes to smoke, give him
a nice pipe, box of cigars, smok
ing Jacket, smoking set, or any
number of things that would de-
l:ght a smoker. If he likes to
read, a good book or set of books,

a subscription to his favorite
magazine, or what could be nicer
than a year’s subscription to The
Georgian and Sunday Ameri
can? If you wish to give him
something to wear, remember his
favorite color and the style he
likes best. Then let me suggest
(from past experience) a safety
razor or shaving stand.
MRS. J. E. M.
Atlanta, Ga.
A VACUUM CLEANER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most useful gift a hus
band can give his wife is some
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 as tfffe years roll by, for she
does. And a promise not to be
broken that I am going to try to
be a better husband every day.

LOVE AND FLOWERS. '
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
My wife and I are still sweet
hearts. So I just renew my first
Christman present every Christ
mas to her. That present is
myself and the love T declared for
her seven years ago. One dozen
carnations, her favorite flower,
which was mv first Christmas
gift. I also add a ten or twenty
dollar bill for her to spend as she
wishes.
My love and her favorite flow
ers are valued by her more than
anything else I can give.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I find that nothing pleases a
woman more than a gift in which
others can derive pleasure as well
as herself. Therefore, this Christ
mas my little wife shall receive a
set of good books and a sub
scription to one woman’s maga
zine. % L. M. C.
Atlanta, Ga.
A DAILY PAPER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I will give my husband a year’s
subscription to The Georgian. He
will appreciate a paper he can
take time and read after supper,
as The Georgian is the best paper
for a workingman. It comes at
the right time. MRS. M. T. A.
Atlanta, Ga.
A SURPRISE FOR WIFE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I shall present my wife on
Christmas Eve a check larger
than I can afford for a single
present, being fortified with the
kn6\vledge that the greater part of
it will go into the common ex
chequer. Then on Christmas Day
I shall surprise her with the most
appropriate personal gift that a
mere man can : elect. Thus she
will have the double p’easure of
receiving something unexpected
and of disseminating among her
friends this evidence of her hus
band’s superiority over other hus
bands. J. A. G.
Albany, Ga.
A JUNIOR.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most perfect gift to a. hus
band on Christmas morn would
be a beautiful blue-eyed boy—-
W. J., Jr. MRS. W. J. R.
Gainesville, Ga.
FOR HER HUSBANQ.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think to make something use
ful and pretty, a tie rack, and buy
soma nice ties, a pair of cuff but
tons. a year’s subscription to The
Georgian, his favorite daily paper,
and to be kind and show by words
and actions that you love and
appreciate him, is a good Christ
mas gift. MRS. G. W. P.
Union Point, Ga.
CHICKENS FOR WIFE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I will look at The Georgian
want ads and see where I can
buy some good chickens for my
wife, as she enjoys the outdoor
exercise caring for them. I will
also give her a year’s subscrip
tion to The Georgian, as she has
learned how to raise chickens
from this paper and has made a
great success. R. W. A.
Atlanta, Ga.
HAS SOLVED HIS PROBLEM.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I have solved the Christmas
present problem for myself,
knowing that my wife would ap
preciate nothing more than a
complete toilet and manicure set
or a pair of gloves. These will
be my present to my wife this
Christmas. C. M. L.
Atlanta, Ga.
♦ HER SUGGESTION.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I wish to suggest that a sub
scription to The Georgian would
make an appropriate Christmas
gift. MRS. L. H.
Sargent, Ga.
APPRECIATION.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
A gift that a husband will en
joy, appreciate and find useful is
one that means love, devotion and
sacrifice. Something useful, as
well as ornamental, and always
within bounds of Income. Pledge
to him your best efforts to be
the best wife that lleth in your
power, and assure him of your
appreciation of him and his ef
forts. MRS. J. U H.
Eaton ton, Ga.
A COMFORTABLE CHAIR.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I know’ my husband would like
to have a Morris chair, a loung
ing robe and a year’s subscrip
tion to The Georgian. (He sub
scribed to The Georgian before it
was ever published, and has been
a constant reader of It.) We are
old folks now. AGNES.
Atlanta, Ga.
A PIECE OF GOLD.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
J think a gold piece of money,
any amount, earned by the wife,
would certainly make a husband
feel good on Christmas morn. It
would be very useful to some hus
bands and quite a help to the
family. MRS. W. T. C.
Atlanta, Ga.
A PLEDGE OF LOVE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
All appropriate gift for a wife
would be for her husband to place
at her plate on Christmas morn
ing these words written In his
own hand:
"I love you better to-day than
ever before. Next year I shall be
considerate of you every day, and
what Is mine Is yours, and I feel
that our sorrows an' less by shar
ing together and our happiness
greater.” l. h.
