Sippel. Mrs. SippcI’s home s in Baltmiore, and I had the previl- •ge of being a guest in it for an hour in one Sunday afternoon. This splendid leader is just like other charming women who have ri^en to the top in organization work, he knows how to meet,—how to greet—how to make herself interest ing and how to make you at ease. She is at present making her home— she and Mr. Sippel—with a married daughter, and it is a most attractive home, and the daughter was charm ing like her mother—and the GRANDSON—my—I know all about that. And as my own grandson had been invited to come out along with me and “son and daughter”—Emmett Jr., and Billy had the time of their live* playing with all thQ_. wonderful things which Santa had left for ’•Bill.” I never saw so many things in all my life—and neither had Emmett Jr.—and he left no stone un urned to investigate the mechanism of each toy—and Bill was as polite as could he—and did not interfere. ‘Mr. Sippel was there—and “Son” found him most interesting und came away talking about whut a wonderfully smart man he was. "Daughter” was as much interested in the family a-: I, and .altogether we had a most de lightful time. It was a visit I will not soon foget. Telling Mrs. Sip pel about the work we were doing here in our Baldwin County Federa tion—and how interested we wei the children—she at once consented to send them a personal message—be cause she believes that there is where we have to “start our club work.’ So you will find this message in th' middle of this page. Mrs. Sipp'd was kind enough b give me a special invitation to meet her in Wa-hington, D. C., at the Gen eral Federation Headquarter?—a day or, two after this visit. 1 went to Headquarters—but an unlooked for conflict kept her from being there at that h iur—but her secreatry Mi: Phillips—as charming a woman as have meet in many moons—took upon herself to act as hostess—ar showed “daughter” and me all ovi this wonderful big building. Thoi who have never visited headquartc do not know what they have in rioi for them. Miss Phillips wns kind enough to n*k us to stay for lunch- there is a charming tea room just h hind the building—but as we : •udy had an engagement to go out (their horn ifrs. Girl Vi Message from Mrs. Sippel Dear Children of Baldwin County, Georgia: Everyone likes to make good investments, and what we all want to get out of our investments in the end is happiness, for if we invest so as to get money, all that our money can give us in the end is liappi- ness, and it cannot always give us that. But every boy and girl has an opportunity, every day of their lives, to make an inverlment which can never bring them anything but happiness—an investment which, if carefully followed up. will give them comfort and pleasure to the last day of their lives. Better than that, it will give comfort and happiness to others too. Why do we invest either money, time or thought? Is it not that the home may be richer in one sense or another and so in this invest ment about which we are talking is the one which will bring the great est happiness in your home. It is an old saying that “a boy’s best friend is his mother,” (and girl’s too). How true it is you will not realize till you arc men and women. But if you will make it a rule of your lives to do all in your power to make your mothers happy, beginning now, today, and never stopping. I can promise you that when vou are men and women, when, perhaps, your mothers are no longer with you, you will be glad of every single thing you have done to add to the pleasure and happiness of the one who loves you so dearly that nothing can ever dislodge you from your place in her heart—your mother. And your home will be Hcher for the memories of the investment you made in your youth.

Its great to be a Georgian! The misguided traveler who search ed the world for the diamond which he finally found at his own doorstep might have been one of oilr Geor gians who is always bragging abou how nice and warm it is in the wintetf in er—well—in several places I might mention; or how nice and COLD it is in the summer in—cr— well—several places I might men- Georgia has four separate and di.s- tinct seasons. Being one of those creatures who adores each season as it rolls around, I do suggest that wc might use this fact as one way of advertising Georgia. Who wants a fan in January or a fire in July. What is summer for if it isn’t especially designed to wear lovely- lacy frocks, sit on a porch with a fan, go riding without a wrap and drink "tinkly” things that thrill you with their fregrance? What is nutumn for if it isn’t to entice you with the gorgeou?ne?8 of the hillsides, to make you grow senti mental over the harvest moon, und to fill your heart with thankfulness for your land where peace and plenty both abide? Whut is winter for if it isn’t to glory in the comfort of ou: fireside, where, no matte wind may howl or the sleet may tap against the window pane, we may peacefully rest at the end of the day’s work? And spring? There are no words Who COULD do without spring': Ordering seed—getting out the old hoe—buying a new rake—watching for the firt robin—admiring the first tinge of green on the lawn—planting the garden—the flower beds—thei losing sleep to watch them grow And WHO would miss taking that first radish to town and boasting about i‘. on the car? Everything in the spring brings a thrill—even the pring fever. T1 ere is hut one l-u.. - in this world that can compare with spring—and that is another spring. Spring in our gardens—and spring in our hearts! North, East, South and West— all Georgia is Great; but if you wanl to get right into the heart of thing: come to Milledgeville, the state, and as we all know, Capital of the Stati for over 65 years. We can give you anything you want in Baldwin county Milledgeville is a great place ii which to live—and we have the four scusons. It’s great to live in Geor gia's heart—old Milledgeville. verybody * ' y have something they do about our j!,' ^ before others— r 'i ited three school?, othtr people who went county. h, ls as ROod n nide children, heard fcre<j , n . , mB ’ and Was generally "7, “ 1 «* i *•-.< a thl * dft y of celebra- «rand success.

She spreads a velvet carpet Of living, glowing, green—, And in each fairv footstep A violel is seen. There’s honeysuckle bowers On hillside; in her dells A million bird-notes floating; She weaves her magic spells And lo! the red-bud flaunting— The yellow jasamine swings And sways in tuneful rhythm; And my heart sings and sings Her praise for all this beauty From mountain to her sea. Oh Georgia! glorious mother! You’re wonderful to me! N. W. H. The verse above was used on the Empire State Posters of the Georgia Power Co., this week celebrating Georgia P*y- U. D. C’S. HAVE WONDERFUL GEORGIA DAY CELEBRATION With the Weather Man again at his best, on Tuesday—Georgia Day, the United Daughters of the Con federacy held a meeting with Mrs. wint as hostess, and a most delightful one she made. So many of the guests had never been in the New Nurse’s Home—so were delight ed to find that the meeting was go ing to be held in its spacious parlors. At .a little after four o’clock, the president, Mrs. R. B. Moore called the meeting to order and it wus opened with the Lord’s prayer and two verses of America. A good bit of most interesting business was at tended to—and just to listen to thi showed what wonderful work was he ing done in this organization. Afte this part of the meeting was ovci the chairman of the program com mir.ee Mrs. G. A.. Lawrence too charge. Mrs. Lawrence announced that she had wished to horn of the most interesting und historic towns und cities of our state and had asked some of the members to make short talks about these various .tlaccs. The little old-time t Fred : ka was told of by Mi: Brow*.. Following her, Mrs. Sam Patterson gave a sketch of Savannah. Mrs. David Ferghson was to have told of Louisville, hut had been call ed out of the city and this historic little place had to be passed by. Last, Mrs. Charles L. Moore ^oke of Au gusta. Many interesting points nbout each were brought to the tension of the guests. Mrs. Mo- the president, a»ked each one pres ent to name one outstanding Geor gian—and it was amazing many were found who had made names for themselves not only their own beloved state hut nutioi ly, and some are internationally known. When this part of the program was fini'hed Mr.*. Lawrence called on Mrs. Edgar Long who was to have ch inre of the music, assisted by Miss I M ■'■ • i? Jenkins at the piano. Geor- ! ?is ! and. writ cn by Mrs. Nelle Wo-I mack Hines whs sung by Mrs. Long -.ml Mrs. Hir.e-, while all joined in the chorus—tie words having been: passed around. Mrs. Long then sang 1 a group of three songs, Mighty Lik’> u Rose Stanton; April Weather— Robert Loveman, and Within—by Nelle Womack Hines. Last’on this! music program was a negro song wrt ten and sung by Mrs. Hines. The guests were served with a de licious course of salad sandwiches, potato chips, hot coffee, and nuts, valentine was given to each one pres ent There were several out-of-town visitors, among them being Mias Sal lee, the charming guest of Mrs. J. A. Sallee, who his been an entertained guest in our city. A noted club wo- o’wn and U. D- C- state officer, Mrs. J. J. Harris of Sandenvllle, Mrs. Sippel, w v o i* n native and a esident of Baltimore, Md., was lec od president of the general fed- ration at its biennial convention in San Antonio, TeXas, last spring. For more than 21) years Mrs. Sip- pel has been un active .and effective worker in the woman’s movement in her state and the nation. She is a past president of the Maryland fed eration and the retiring general fed eration director from her state. Her service as chairman of finance, mem bership in the executive committee and other important committees has given her u grasp of general federa tion affairs that is already felt in her effective handling thus early in her administration of the many difficult problems involved in bending this gi gantic organization of more thun 14,- 000 clubs in 2,100 counties of every state in the union with an aggregate embership of more thun 2,000,000 omen. The American community, s upbuilding nnd enrichment, with special emphasis on the spiritual and cultural aspects of life, constitutes the keynote of Mrs. Sippel’* adminis tration. Mrs. Sippel has tried to do her bit. i the women’h organization of the church, the Daughters of the Amer- Revolution, und in women’s clubs in this latter work her interest especially drawn to the rural woman. After attending the rural woman’s short course offered by the State College of Maryland and spend ing considerable time with rural wo men of her state, -he feels that the rural woman’s club is n potential force as yet almost wholly undevelop ed. She says that life is likely to grow a bit humdrum and monotonous w*th few changes of scene and that long hours are likely to reduce it to drudgery unl««s new interest* are injected into it. The club connects the woman who lives remote with the woman of the city, and the inter change of viewpoint and ideas never fails to be mutually helpful. This interest in rural women and their problems has led to the creation of a special committee on rural co-open* tion in the general federation with Mrs. Phebe K. Warner, Claude, Texas, as chairman, and this work will he spotlighted during the coming two years. She is an ardent believer in the importance nnd possibility of junior club work. She points that strong character is only developed when emphasis is laid on the thought of personal responsiblity and that the early placing of some responsibility on the shoulders of the younger gen eration is » service to them that should not be overlooked.
