Take Care Of the Matche,l

This very useful invention, like many
other good things In life, Is in danger of
being sadly perverted. The great dam
ger IS in the careless manner In which
they are handled. People forget-they
do not think-and so we have almost
daily instances of observing show great
q matter q little fire kindIeth. More
buildings are burned. more lives and
property destroyed, by the careless use
of matches, than by any other agency.
People call such calamity "amysteri-
GUS Providence and are much more
willing to ascribe their losses 90 the
Over-ruling Hand than to their own In
excusable carelessness. It Is q common
custom to leave box Of matches any,
where, just where you happened to use
them last-on the table, bureau, closet
shef-in fact In any place except the
match-safe. Children get hold OF them,
and slip them into their pockets, and
then in pulling out their traps to find
something else, the matches slip out,
Just as likely to fall on carpet or barn
floor, with straw scattered all about, as
anywhere else. Somebody steps on
them, or o mouse nibbles at the phos-
phorus, and off they gol Unacconnta-

Another way-young men strike a
match to light cigar or pipe and throw
it down all ablaze, never minding where
it falls. If IL is out of doors, it can not
do any harm. It may not fall straight
to the ground, gust of wind may carry
either sparks or blaze into some COM
bustible material, and it is a seven days
wonder how the fire originated.
This is no trifing matter, and every
house-keeper should see that matches

The Pleasure of Business.

Western Citizen.l
No human mind is contented with
out occupation. No human soul is
satisfied without an aim or purpose
in life. The greatest success in life
consists not in.the mere aecumula-
ton of riches, but in being able to
acquire wealth with a disposition to
apply it in such a manner that it
shall be comfort and blessing to
others-not in the mere giving
away of money, but in putting
people in a way to labor and to
help themselves. There is no pleas
ure in oppression. There is no joy
in grinding and exacting gold from
the poor; but there is great deal of
genuine satisfaction in being able to
offer steady and honorable employ
ment to the many willing hands that
have nothing to do. One of the
greatest enjoyments of the prosper
GUS business man consists in being
able to comfortably provide for the
many employees in his house and
mandatory. In doing this he is
fulfilling his obligations to society;
he becomes a useful and honored citi
zen; business to him is real pleasure;
he enjoys his successes, when they
are fairly won because he feels that
he deserves them.
When a business man has the
right kind of a purpose in life he
enjoys bis occupation, he feels a just
and worthy pride in his prosperity;
he is pleased with the respect and
gratitude of those whom he directs
and controls in the management of
his affairs, and he feels that in bene-
fitting himself he liz comforting a
favor upon others.

A New Order Of Things.

Every intelligent planter knows that
within the past few years new era has
opened for the South, in the rapid and
profitable development of its agricultural
and manufacturing resources. Its indus
tries have been multiplied and their vol.
ume increased in such a degree that
new demand for motive power has
sprung up, especially in such branches
of production as require light power to
take the place of the slow, inadequate
system of horse and mule power which
has prevailed for so many years.
The old methods are wholly unsuited
to the new order of things, of which in
creased production, larger profits, and
the adoption of improved processes AFRO
Characteristic features.
To meet this prevailing want, tho
Bookwalter Steam Engine has been pro-
duced, and is especially adapted for uso
on plantations, for such purposes as gin
ming cotton, grinding corn, and many
other purposes that will suggest them
selves to any one who desires to keep up
with the new order of things and make
a profit on his product.
This Engine gives the maximum of
service at the minimum Of expense. 1t
has an upright boiler, constructed with
special reference to economy in fuel,
safety, durability, and freedom from
leakage. A defect frequently observed
in upright boilers-namely, the burning
out Of tubes, and Leakage at the point of
insertion at the crown sheet-has been
carefully guarded against in the conssruc-
ton of the Bookwaltsr Engine. Every
detail of its mechanism has been made
the subject of diligent study and expert
ment, and it is offered to the public in
the full confidence, based upon It's sue
cessful use by thousands of persons In
all parts OF the country, that it meets in
the most perfect manner every require
ment of an effective, practical motive
power.
All working parts, including also
CRATES, bed-plate, door and bonnet to
boiler, are made in duplicate, so that in
case of breakage the owner can get
new part and replace it without having
to go to a machine-shop with the Engine.
The aim Of the makers Of this we'll
known Engine, Messrs. James Laffal &
Co., Of Springfield, Ohio, has been to
give perfect efficiency to the working
parts, producing but few sizes and build
ing them in the most thorough manner
lin short, to combine effectiveness with
simplicity, durability and cheapness
, Every boiler and engine Is tested by
steam pressure to over twice the work
ing pressure, and run, before leaving
the works, to insure its perfect working
in the hands of the purchaser.
They are easily operated, and that
they give the best Of satisfaction is fully
proven by the fact that over three thou
sand Of them are in use in the United
States, many of them successfully driv-
ing cotton gins, cotton presses, cane and
corn mills in the Southern States.
The manufacturers are always pleased
q furnish all information regarding this
Engine to any one asking for the same.

An exchange says: There is no
commodity of which there is such
an over supply in the United States
as whisky. There is said to be
enough on hand now, at the present
rate of consumption, to last six or
seven years. The production of
whisky now is not so great as it was
one year ago, and then there had
been great falling off from two
years ago. There are now $50 dis
tilleries in operation in the United
States, as against 387 one year ago
and Isl two years ago. The daily
producing capacity now is 257, POI
gallons, against 2S7 1929 one year
ago and 439, 3O6 two years ago.
