ECONOMY IN IRIelEs

"Oh, It is such = little thing; 1t won't
hurt TO waste that"
1T costs hut tribe more q pound,
and cannot make any diffrreEce."
We hear these phrases often enough to
be very familiar with them, II indeed, We
do not use them ourselves occasionally.
We are so apt TO think that little here
and little there can be expended with.
out any material difference. Once, yes
even twice; but again and again and
sgain indefinitely, no.
We trade with 4 certsin butcher or
baker or grocer. To be sure each indi-
yidusl charges little more for his goods
than others In his line, but then his store
Is so handy, or he's so accommodating, or
perhaps his wife's sisters cousin Is a
friend OF your sister-in-law. Two or
three cents more per pound-why, what
can those few cents amount tor
IL Ia true that sometimes, indeed, al
most always, the butcher cuts larger
piece Of meat than one orders, which
must occasionally be thrown away, but
then Il Ia only occasionally that there Is
no use for it.
The grocer Il also dear, but then, one
cannot be so fussy about little things
which cannot amount TO much after all
And the BLACKWELL. every one ac-
knowiedges that the bakers profit IL not
any too limited. But what Is one going
10 do when one Is too busy 10 bake, or
the last new book has been too tempting

making bread or preparing desserts
These are only trines. Why recount
them;
Only penny more per pound for meat
on sn average of five pounds day for q
year makes sls.a5. sls.25 which might
be saved on one item Of the household
expenses.
On one item, and how many items do
you suppose can be reckoned also with
this one useless expenditure;
There are vegetables, fruit, -four,
sugar, and other items from the grocer !;
meat and fish from the butcher; bread,
cake, pie. ETC., from the baker; all the
wearing apparel and household linen !;
boots and shoes and rubbers; hats and
cloaks and gloves; and one could 60 on
indefinitely.
Ii Is quite easy to overlook the fact that
only slight over-charge on one item Ia
quite different from q slight over-charge
on many items individually, because the
many are not all purchased at once.
II Is more economical by FAR to buy q
barrel OF -four, potatoes or apples, In
stead Of quart or peck or bushel, as oc-
casion demands.
The average housewife cannot afford to
be careless In her expenditures her In
come, while perhaps not small or limited,
still has too many needfnl demands

IL Is true from pennies, going TO waste,
which only ordinary care In buying
would save.
Judicious buying means great saving
10 the income. By judicious buying,
however, do not mean "haggling" with
u tradesmsn in the attempt TO beat him
down from Legitimate price, but rather
a careful selection OF the stores with
which TO trade, and an economical pur-
chasing Of goods from such stores.
Ii IL not necessary Tn 60 into many de-
tails in this matter. The prudent house
wife will readily do this for herself,
when once 1t occurs to her that economy
In rrifles means much more than tribe

Farmer, and Good Roads.

Farmers have enough in the way Of
taxes to pay without undertaking the
building Of elaborate gravel and stone
roads. It is unfair that such u burden
should be added to their already heavy
load. Whatever may be undertaken in
the way of constructing permanent
highways should be done ut the expense
Of those who are to reap its benefits.
True it is that the saving in the cost Of
hauling crops would 10 considerable,
and that this saving would result nj
most entirely to the farmer, but that
is no reason for asking him to pay the
cost of building such roads He is not
the only one to use them. They serve
to bring city people and city products
into the country as much rs they serve
to bring country people and country
products into the city. The merchant
who has business with the farmer Ii rs
much benefited through good read to
travel over as is the farmer who comes
to town ON business Of any kind. Neither
is the use Of roads limited to those liv-
ing in the vicinity, and travellers from
q distance share the benefits resulting
from their Improvement. It woald be
the height Of injustice, therefore. 70 ask
the farmer alone to stand the cost Of
good roads. Motorcycle.
