How to Light a Fire.

Most people when setting a fire lay the wood fiat criss-cross over the paper in the bottom of the grate, but let them try placing the wood slop- ing from the sides of the grate to the center This forms funnel for a free passage of air, and as the flame travels up the stick more quickly than it does across the result is that fewer pieces are required, and the fire burns up more brightly and in half the time that 1t usually takes, says Womans s Life. Then wsen placing lump of coal on the fire if you wish it to last long time lay it with the grain of the coal running across, as the flame travels more slowly across than up- ward

| investment is one of the kind that in
 itself brings in no return, it had To
 be made The growing demand and the possibility of future Interruptions
 of mining made ample storage an ab-
 solute necessity.
 It is not many years since the stor. age of anthracite coal compared with other branches of the industry, was re- garded as comparatively unimportant. Now, nothing is more essential to a producing company than to have it's ample reserve-a reserve which can be drawn upon at any moment for vast quantities Of fuel in case of a strike or any other untoward circum- stance. When it is considered that the marketable output of anthracite last year was 67.109, ,293 tons the ex- tent of ten per cent. reserve can be appreciated.
 Coal storage nowadays is a science, like mining itself. It has it's own pc culiar conditions, it's experts, it's in ventions. No longer is coal dumped from car by the crude, old-fashioned fAENuOuo, anu iOdICu liikO dHOlii0i ial in the same crude way Electricity and steam have come into play here. as nearly everywhere else. The day $ work is measured in thousands, of tons, the years in millions.
 Storage plants represent large part of the capitalization of coal com panies. The fact that they bring no direct profit in themselves cannot de lay their construction. They are a necessity of modern industry. The machinery with which they are equipped. though enormously costly, is as necessary these days as the storage piles. If anthracite produe- ton continues to increase as it has increased in past years, more and more capital will be required to be put into storage plants.

We note that the city council of
Bryan has unanimously voted to do
away with the swinging signs in that
city and issued an order to that effect.
The move was a splendid one and
should be adopted here at Navasota.
A swinging sign is always a menace

THE BENEFITS AND DANGERS OF
ORGANIZATION

Organization is an engine of prog
ress, but it is not progress. 1t may
give the man of affairs an opportun-
ity TO transform conditions, but il can
not create his genius II may enable
a political party TO win victories, but
ii can not take the place of the hum
blest worker in the ranks. II may be
q vehicle for the spread Of the gospel
but ii can not put faith in a single
soul, nor serve as a substitute for the
worshiper, nor relieve any man from
That kind of personal service TO his
fellow men which is the flower and
fruit of the second great command.
ment. Organization has neither hands
nor brain nor heart II is merely
method, an instrument, as useless in
the hands OF the unskilled as a hoe
in the hands OF an ape, and it may be
as dangerous TO society when con
trolled by unprincipled genius as
man of war operated by pirates" SAYS
President Garfield of Williams Col
lege in the Hartford Seminary Re
view.
II is high time the dangers as well
as the great benefits of organization
should be considered. While it is
the means OF civilization, it is also
the means of revolution and destruc-
ton. Cooperation to unselfish and
beneficial ends is the one means by
which great good can be accomplish
cd, while cooperation and hard and
fast organization or conspiracy as
means of getting the best of it has
generally marked the turning point
between rising and falling, between
leace and war.
Monopoly itself is but the result of |
organization, and sometimes along en-
urely scientific lines; but it may |,

tins TO powder; or it may lead to the /
of opposing monopolies.

neither millstones, will assist each

I is too late to stop it now by mere
