A Georgia Railroad car leave Harlem Tuesday morning, December 22nd, arriving at Ca mak Tuesday aflemo n, stopping at Thomson to take bn provisions brought there by various churches nearby. The local freight on the Savannah <$ Atlan ta Railway will pick up donations from Wrens to Camak. It has been arranged for donations of churches adjacent to Warren ton to be sent by local freight from Warrenton Tuesday aild all will he put in the special car at Camak, going directly from that point to Hapeville. It is asked by the committee that goods be car ried to the various railroad sta tions on Monday, December 21st. There are about 325 orphans to be taken care of in ihe home and this is a fine way to have a part in the good work. Provisions of all kinds and feed for livestock will compose this Christmas gift from the Association to the or phans.

Nearly every one has seen dairy cows bump up their backs and shiver on a cold day after drinking Ice water from a stock tank and it Is not to be expected that such an experience Is conducive to profit able production. One member of a dairy herd Improvement association found that his cows made un average gain of 5.6 pounds of butterfat a month following the purchase of a heater. At the Iowa experiment station it was found that fall pigs given water from an automatic waterer, kept from freez ing with a kerosene lamp, showed an increase in profit of 17 per cent as compared to pigs given water in open troughs. Gains were Increased by 5 per cent and the feed requirements were reduced 10 per cent, due to wa ter being available at all times. Stock tanks should be banked and covered during the winter and It is also recom mended that gravel or cinders be placed around both tiie tanks and wa terers to prevent accidents due to slip ping on icy yards. f868-69-7(1—Thomas A.

Outside the window, watching the fish swim, was a crowd of perhaps forty persons. They blocked traffic on the sidewalk.

On her return home, she was telling her brother, who goes in for sport and knows surprisingly little about art, what an enjoyable afternoon she had experienced. “I met the nicest young man,” she said. “He was a big, handsome blond of those who dine at midday on Christmas.

She contends that for a dollar you can buy there enough mel ons, peaches and grapes to support a 'family for a week and that the quality Is far superior to anything found In a New York market. But, while I am fond of fruit In moderation, what I am looking for Is some place where for a dollar one can buy enough beefsteak to live on for a week. In my case, that means a lot of beefsteak.

It is a strictly utilitarian af fair, consisting of a couple of rooms furnished mainly with a telephone and a few typewriting machines. Each of the members has a key to the outer door. Wishing to open un account at one of the large department stores, a member of the club gave her bank and some other references and then, think ing It sounded well, added the name of the club. A few days later she was all alone In the club rooms when the telephone rang. She answered It. On the wire was the credit department of the store. Information was requested as to whether the woman was a mem ber of the club and whether she paid her dues. She gave herself a fine rec ommendutlon.

Bankers might well consciously de vote greater effort to building up the public viewpoint in their communities that due to their public obligations and burden of public Interest, the banks are entitled to protection against ill-informed cr malicious gos sip and rumors, the statement says. “As to banks In some states, bank slander laws afford this protection," it points out. “We recommend that this protection be availed of by definite action wherever practical both as a matter of immediate expediency and also to awaken public opinion as to the dangers of idle gossip about a community’s banking Institutions."
