Do you like the dog that grewls
And slinks aside,
As if expecting kicks?
The dog whose hide
Shows Ihe marks of bricks
And flying sticks?
The dog that skulks along
As you go your way,
And snarls, as if to say:
“Things are goin’ wrong;
I haven’t a friend,
And I hate you and your klndl
Life’s a weary grind,
From beginnin’ to end;
There's nothin’ that’s right.
We're all in a fog!”
If the question is fair,
Do you honestly care
For such a dog?
Do you like file dog that comes
And wags his tall
With a purpose you can’t mistake?
The dog that says to you: “Shake!”
In away that you cannot fail
To understand,
No matter what your speech may be?
The dog that doesn’t demand
Your sympathy.
Or ask for pity, but Just seems glad
9Chat you came his way and that he has
had
The luck to meet you; the dog that
seems
To say as he looks you in the face:
“Isn't this a glorious place,
i And isn’t it grand, whether one is a
man
i Or merely a dog, to bo here
Doing the best he can
To add to tbo general cheer?”
I We shrink from the growling dog in
dread?
We pass with hate and with lack of
trust;
; For the friendly dog a pat on the head
, And a shake of the paw that is upward
thrust.
Why be one m the snarling kind
When you might be one of the genial
few?
Give the world good cheer and you’ll
quickly find
Thai the world is giving it back to you.
Financial Genius.
8 “Pa, will you
please tell me what j
a financial genius
is?”
“A financial gen* ‘
lus, my chl/d, is a
man who can spend
money that he han
never had and which
the people who think
they are getting It
will never see.”
, ■ -
Progress.
It generally happens that along
about the time one becomes able to
recognize true art one loses the knack ;
of being able to take advantage of |
business opportunities when they i
present themselves.
Hard.
“Pa, is It true that all men are
made of dust?”
“I’ve had reason to think lately,” I
replied the man who had been trying J
to get his notes extended, “that a good j
many of them are made of cement.”
Willing to Pay for What He Wanted.
“You are going to marry a rich
widow,” said the fortune-teller.
“Here,” replied the man whose hand
was being held, “is another dollar.
Make her a young maiden and beauti- j
ful.”

GEUM PRODUCTS DAY, NDIIEMBER 18,
HULL BE GENERALLY DESERVED
Dinners of Only Grown-in-Georgia Foods Will De Served in Every County.
Prizes of Ten Dollars Cash to Be Given by Georgia
Chamber of Commerce for Best Menus
and Lists of Georgia Products.
If plans of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce do not miscarry, Thanks
giving in Georgia this year will be eclipsed by Georgia Products Day, Tues
day, November 18th, according to official announcement just made.
On that date in every progressive town and city in Georgia, thousands
of patriotic Georgians will dine promptly at (I p. m. at tables laden exclu
sively with viands raised in Georgia. Everything on the menu must be
Georgia raised; the bread must be made from flour grown in Georgia; the
meats must have been raised and killed and prepared in Georgia; every
vegetable must be the product of Georgia soil, Georgia labor and Georgia
industry. No article will be permitted on the menu that has not been pro
duced in Georgia, except those exotics impossible of growth here, such as
coffee, though it is stipulated that even that must have been roasted in
Georgia.
Governor Slaton will be asked to issue a proclamation, declaring No
vember 18th as “Georgia Products Day." The Mayors of every city in the
state will be asked to issue similar proclamations, and every town where
there is a commercial organization, or an offlicer of the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce, especial attention will be paid to making this dinner one
of the biggest things in recent years. It is to be a boost for Georgia “goods”
that will secure advertising for the state throughout the Union.
PRIZES FOR GEORGIANS.
The Georgia Chamber of Commerce will give the following prizes to
stimulate interest in the Georgia Products dinner:
- SIO.OO for the best menu of Georgia Products.
SIO.OO for the best menu actually served.
The judges of the various classes will be announced later.
All contestants must write only on one side of the paper, must bo resi
dents of Georgia, and must address their communications to The Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, 1001 Hurt Building, AtlantaJ Georgia.
All lists of Georgia Products must be received by November 7th, and all
menus submitted for the prizes must be in band by November 11th.
SCORES OF CITIES INTERESTED.
Though the idea is just newly born, it has taken a tremendous hold
throughout the state, and assurances already received at the offices of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce indicate that not Jess than one hundred and
fifty cities will be in competition in the effort to give the best Georgia
Products dinner. From every section of the state, replies have been received
indicating not merely interest, but enthusiasm over the idea and over the
results for Georgia,, it being readily seen that such a dinner held simulta
neously in all parts of the state cannot fail to awaken interest in the state
and the things it grows.
The Georgia Chamber will co-operate with towns giving the dinners by
furnishing for each out-of-town speakers of note who will act as spell
binders and further stimulate enthusiasm and interest in the Georgia
Chamber.
The idea of the Georgia Products dinner grew out of the statement on
the official map of Georgia, issued by the Department of Agriculture, to the
effect that a wall could be built around the State of Georgia, and its present
population, with ten million more people added, could have all the comforts
of life without importing a single article.
The more that idea was dwelt upon, the greater became its possibilities
for an advertisement of the state. At first it seemed to be “too good to be
true,” buffurther consideration showed that it is true, and then the idea
of the dinner sprang into existence that all the world may know what a
wonderful state Georgia is.
When broached to a number of prominent Georgians, every one hailed
It with delight, so the idea has become a plan and its accomplishment will
be but a matter of days.
