BIRL GIVES T 0 3TOCKING
FUND HALF OF WEALTH
By THE SANTA CLAUS GIRL.
,The children—bless their litle
hearts— are getting to be the best
friends that the -":{ Stocking Fund
has. They don*t t for their fa
thers and mothers to send in contri.
butions; they read about the little
boys and girls who have never known
any Santa Claus, but the one who
comes from The Georglan office, and
then they hurry to open up thelr sav.
ings banks and send all or a large
part of their contents to the Banta
Claus Girl to make Christmas for the
poor little chaps,
Maybe it's because they are chil.
dren themselves that they understand
the awful tragedy of empty stockings
better than the older members of their
families. All they have to do is to put
their small imaginations to work on
what it would mean to THEM, and
they ean't bear to have it happen to
any other little boy or girl in the
world,
The last child's contribution came
Tuesday morning all the way from
Senoia, from a little girl whose mod
esty kept her from even signing her
name to the letter that Inclosed it,
“Dear Santa Claus Girl,” she
wrote, “you will ind Inclosed one
dollar for the Empty !tockln’
Fund. 1 want to tell you how
got it. Papa promised me if I
would get on the honor roll at
school he would give me a dollar
each time I got on. [ have got
ten on twice and have two dol
lars. But 1 think | should give
someone else the other, Maybe it
will help some poor child who
wouldn't have any toys from
Santa unless you helped.”
Exactly half of what she had—
that's the way the children give. And
the will have a happler Christmas
this year because of the knowledge
that the dollar she gave is making
Christmas for another little girl in
Atlanta,
That's one beauty of the Empty

sioner of Agriculture J. D. Price, of
Georgia, speaking to the eighth annual
convention of the Southern Commer- |
clal Congress here, today told of the
progress of Georgla farmers along scl- |
entific lines, since the advent of the
bo!l weevil, Commissioner Price’s sub
ject was “The Agricultural Progress
and Possibilitels In Georgia™ |
The boll weevil was a "“blessing in
disguise,” he asserted, Georgia farm
ers are taking advantage of the re.
search work by the United BSiates
Government: they are diversifying
crops; raising cattle and hogs, and
have established more substantial
eredit than had been allowed under
the single-cro ppractice,
“We had been forced to ralse mt.'
ton,” he asserted, “because when an
average farmer went to town to get
credit the first question asked was,
‘How many acres of cotton are you
going to plant? If he said from 15
to 20 acres to the horse, he was told
that unless he planted more cotton he
could not get as much credit as he !
desired He was forced to go back|
and plant more cotton. That Is not|
the case now. The banker and the)
merchant want to know how many |
lcows and hogs the farmer has; how
many acres he expects to plant in
grains, and he must make a good
showing of this kind before credit will,
be extended. l
“We have more foodstuffs, more fine |
hogs and cattle in Georgia now than|
L«-\-er before More land is being,
planted in leguminous CTops, such as
alfalfa and clover, than Was ever
'known in the history of our State. Wel

jcation of cattle tick |
“The establishment of the regional]
banks has helped more to make cheap
money and high-price farm products
than anyvthing that has ever been done,
for the South, and it makes my heart |
glad to know that all of this was done
by a man who was reared iln Geur-i

Savings of a Third to a Half
The Selling Starts at 9 o’Clock
And here is the story of how this unusual sale comes about in time
for the Christmas shopping. 3]
We've Bought the Sample Lines of
Two of America’s Representative
Makers. EVERY PIECE of one of
These Lines Is Hand-Embroidered.
These two makers supply us with the greater part of the novelties
that we show in season. In faet, because of the unfailing freshness and
daintiness of their lines, we have come to depend very largely on these
makers for our finer neckwear.
Now that their season is over, they give us their sample lines at such
prices that we can offer them at savings of a third to a half (most of the
things are half price).
Pieces ordinarily SI.OO, are.. 59 Pieces ordinarily $2.50 and $1.50

Most every kind at every price. Even at 59¢ you will find eollars,
vestees, stocks, jabots and collar and cuff sets, guimpes, in Georgette
crepe, net, organdie, satin, serge and broadcloth. And the same list in
every lot up to $3.00. Of course, the pieces become more elaborate as the
prices rise. :
There is more of the hand-embroidered than the lace-trimmed. And,
mark you, every piece that is embroidered at all is HAND-embroidered.
There are no two pieces alike.
Indeed, a sale in which everything is just right—the complete samplq
lines of two of the smart neckwear makers of America at savings of a third
to a half.

John Galsworthy
The work of John Galsworthy will endure as the fin
est literature known to our day. His books and plays are
accepted models for style and diction. A Galsworthy
novel is of itself a course in English. He is a master of
word values and eonstruction, possessed of a simplicity
only less amazing than its vitality.
Galsworthy uses words like a painter. Under the
spell of his art they are colors, shades and tints of infinite
clarity brushed upon the pag> with bold, vivid strokes—
alive.
But Galsworthy’s genius rests even more with his
knowledge of life, his acquaintance with the forces which
dominate and desolate society. In fertility of plot and
control of situations he has no recent peer. His impulse
is elean, dauntless, upbuilding. :
