GARDEN OF.LONG AGO

The Atlanta Constitution thinks the high cost of living problem might be met and in large measure answered by thorough going revival of the old-tim family garden, which, it claims, has become almost, if not quite, an extinct nsti- tuition.
 There is probably good deal of truth i'll what the Constitution says, and, while the fam fly garden is an impossbility in the large cities, of course the consumers theren-disputing, for the sake of the argument, that Senator Lodge is right in his contention that the consumer is a myth-would profit to good purpose by its re- appearance, not indifferently interested ill the suggestion.
 What wonderful thing those old-time gar dens were, indeed The people who remember the old village country home where mother used to live when girl-somehow all grand mothers in this world appear to have been rear ed in some quiet little town, or in the open coun- try air itself-also remember the inevitable garden where the vegetables grew. There was nothing that could not be grown therein, and precious little worth while was not grown there in. Not only from the garden came the beans and the peas and the potatoes and the carrots and the okra and the squash and all that, but from it, too came the hollyhocks and the pinks
 since evouted into carnations, we believe and the honeysuckle and the jonquils entering into the table decorations. Moreover, few of these od-time family gardens were devoid of the raspberry hedge, the qIince trees, the fig trees; and over in corner, separated from the touch of other growing things, was the aspara ? gus bed.
 Andathen the vegetables were always so fresh and sweet It was only an hour or two from the soil to the dining room. They tasted good not, perhaps, because they were so much better than other vegetables, but because every vegetabl was petted from the day it peked its first n- quisitive shoot above the ground until its final appearance as morse fashioned for the fam fly sustenance and joy. The gardens of the yesteiyears knew nothing of the high cost of living, but they were primarily and splendid ly responsible for much high living.
 We do not know that we shall ever see many of the old-time family gardens. again. We live so much more rapidly than we did in those days. We have such fast freghts and expresses, and quick and satisfactory transportation of garden truck is so easily to be thanks to refriger- ator cars and what not--that return to the simpler, homelier, and more attractive ways of the long ago is not to be thought of, we suppose. But 1t does no harm odream old dreams now and then; and we suspect the Constitution was moved more by the recollection of the things that were than by the hope of the things that are to be, when it garbed its longing in the guise of plea.

MORNING SMILES
IL Isn't Fair

The poet who gets the worst of things;
 He has an awful time. For when he words together strings,
 He has to make lem rhyme. The man who writes current song
 No such restrictions knows. For he can calmly plug along
 And rhyme nightingale with horseradish.

BETTER FIRE EQUIPMENT

The outcome of several fires in the past few weeks bears ill upon us an undenabe fact. Our facilities for fighting the red demon are woe fully inadequate It is true that the new chem ical engine will more than double the effective ness of our fire department. But it is also equally true that, even with this additional ap- paratus, the protection of the city's buildings from the ravages of flames will not be sufficient.
 A person with no very acrobatic imagination can readily picture the result should fire get a good start among the business buildings that line Broad street The conAagration that would ensue would leave Globe minus several, and perhaps, a barge part of her chief business houses The generous services of our present volunteer fire company are admirable and are as effective as the work of any company could be with the apparatus available. But the abil- ity of small hose cart and chemical engine to cope with a fire among the business blocks with a stiff breeze blowing would be in about the same ratio as a jackrabbit charging freight train The outcome of such disaster is con elusive, and is fearful to contemplate.
 In the average city of 100000 population, no less than twenty fire houses are maintained, and each one of them, in most cases, has more eff fective equipment than the entire department of Globe will have when the new engine arrives On reflection. then it can be seen that although Globe has about one seventh as many people as such city, it has only one-twentieth of its fire equipment.
 It must be relzed, however, that the growth of city like ours is so rapid that it seems well night impossible for the municipal departments to keep pace with its increase in population. Big strides have been made in the past, how ever, toward the attainment of effective or ganizations, but with all that the work of per fecting our various departments is yet in it's infancy. A general would not encamp his army in range of hostile battery without first throw ing up earthworks to protect it. No more should city neglect to have a fire department within its limits. Next to good waterworks and sewerage system, strong fire department is most essential. The installing of the new hydrants will add much to our fire-fghting fa- cilities, but more effective apparatus is still a crying need, and to obtain 1t the assuming of any legitimate obligations is justifable, and furthermore, is expedient. The city council is a progressive body of men working for Globe best interests, but it's efforts must, from the nature of the case, be supported by the peo pie. The services of every citizen, then, should be enlisted in obtaining new propeller and othre paraphernalia for contending with the fires that threaten our cty's growth and in dustry.

HE IS EVER PRESENT


 Do you know himi
 He is found in every town and city, in every village and hamlet.
 His self-assumed mission is to clamp the brakes on every wheel of the chariot of pro gress
 He is a self-instituted critic and iconoclast
 He is eternally tearing down, but never build ing up.
 He has his destructive faculties developed to the point of abnormality, but his constructive forces are nil.
 He is permanent sufferer from fatty degen eration of the thinker.
 He is actuated by only one idea--or shall we call it instinct !-the idea that demolishment is an art divine, and conferred exclusively on him
 He will respond instantaneously to any given stimulus, with kick Whether his blows are we'll directed or not makes not the least differ ence He assumes that everything about him deserves whack, so he delivers them at ran dom and without thinking. In fact, it is doubt ful if he ever learned to t 'nk The chances are an original idea fever flashed through his mental kaleidoscope.
 But he kicks assiduously and stubbornly
 He is true to his kind
 The jackass.
 Consider the burro
 He is truly asinine in his stupidity mulish in his obstinacy and his progress is slow. The kicker is his kin and has all his characteristics Should all humanity pay him homage, he would nevertheless be disgruntled at what he was re- ceiving. In his chronological makeup he has a depression where his bump of appreciation ought to be. He sees the world through smoked glasses and so sees nothing but shadows
 In the cause of progress the idiot is bigger factor than the kicker For the imbecile is, at least, negative quantity. His influence is of the passive variety But the kicker does much harm and no good at al The kings fool at the feast is more welcome than the death $ head. A man who wears perpetual smile and is forever playing the buffoon will be excused for multitude of sins. He is incapable of malice and his genial demeanor makes the pub lie accept him as harmless, and withal as a dispenser of sunshine. A jovial men is more than mask of highly intellectual dis satisfaction. Brains are great force They are a tremendous ally for progress. And the man who misuses them reaps a rich harvest of anathemas from his fellows. For humanity is cruelty and unerringy just in bestowing it's favors.
 So then, let us not emulate the kicker. And if we have grown up in his harness, let us kick over the traces today and get into the drove of boosters For their companionship is most sat isfying, and they are making Globe grow. Briefly, then, smile! For there's reason. We are living in the biggest business mecca of the great southwest. We should be glad, therefore, that share in it's making is our portion. And an unfailing smile and expression of good cheer may be depended upon to light the way to pros perity.

DESTRUCTION AND DEATH

DESTRUCTION AND DEATH
From the Domestic Use Of Gasoline.
In the United States no hour passes
without a house being set afire by a
gasolene explosion.
The igniting of the vapor from gaso-
: lene, burns to death more than twenty
persons every week and dangerously
burns more than sixty. Its burns
are 80 deep they leave ugly scars. 1t
has marred the beauty of many a
maiden but most of the burned were
mothers.
The gasolene sounds fire alarm in
advance and the blistered person
whose carelessness caused the ex-
plosion, runs screaming for help.
This brings neighbors and the fire
department at once. The fact that
the alarm is given quickly, and the
added fact that the heat from an ex-
plosion is sustained but for an instant
SO that only light materials in which
blaze is easily extinguished are
fred by 1t, make the average loss
from gasolene fired but $3.50, which is
less than one-fourth the average cost
Of all fires. Still the annual loss from
gasolene fires approximates $4,000, 900.
DANGEROUS FOR UsE IN HOMES.
Gasoline is the lightest and most
dangerous fluid derived from petro-
leum. Naptha, which is little less
dangerous, is usually called gasolene.
Both continuously give off a vapor
that makes an explosive of the air
with which it mixes.
"A canful Of air or roomful of air,
which has mixed in it as much as one
twelfth Of the vapor of gasolene, is
more dangerous than canful or
roomful Of gunpowder. Air with that
much or more gasolene vapor in it
explodes harder and makes a hotter
blaze than gunpowder. Gunpowder
will stay whereit is put and can be
seen. Gasolene vapor being little
heavier than air falls to the floor and
cannot be seen. In very rare instan-
ces gasolene explosions have occurred
next the ceiling. This is possible

with moisture, as on wash-day,

cIEANING GLOVES AND RIBBONS.
Gasoline cleans grease from leather
and silk much better than any other
dnid which can be bought for little
money. Grease melts in the gasolene

daughters use 1t for washing gloves
and ribbons and party dresses.
