THE HOUSEWIVES BILLS.
(Wlashin gtO POst.l

1t is a interesting detail in the re.
port of a commission created in Mas
sacEuse is to inquire into the cost of
living that the average cost of build-
ing houses has increased This may be
traced to the rise in the prices of lum-
Der. hardware, labor and other ele-
ments of construction. This may be
reflected in higher rents; but the ten
ant has usually the opportunity of a
cheaper house. The inquiry shows
that the choice has not been exer-
cised. On the contrary, the returns
indicate that the average family N
Massachusetts has increased it's outgo
for rent by more than u per cent. in
the past decade. The same rule ap-
plies to other factors in the cost Of
living, notably in food and in clio. l.
ing. The telephone is become a neces-
sity and the laundry lightens the bur
den of the housewife at the expense,
presumably, of the willing husband.
All this illustrates the familiar fact
of growing demands of higher civili-
cation. Many necessaries of life cost
more Than they did This is plainly
true of coal, butter. lard, eggs and
meat, as well as of other items in
the monthly budget of the house
keeper
Nor is it shown that wages and sal
aries have kept pace with these in
.creases of expense. The cry is for
more economy, but that recourse has
its limits, both in content and in
health. Even the economies of the
European menage, which have become
more familiar on this side of the At
lantic, while commendable, have not
met the condition. These inquiries, as
a whole, are more interesting than
conclusive. In a large sense, how
ever, they appeal to Individual thrift
wherein may lie their merit, since that
need applies as much to the women
as to the man.

Americas is the county site of Sum
ter, and Sumter is, indeed, a good
county and, perhaps, has the largest
peach orchards in the state, some or
chards there consisting of two hundred
and fifty thousand trees. Sumter has
also a statewide reputation for good
roads which far surpassed our ex-
pectation. The soil is fertile and
produces not only good crops of COT
ton, but corn, oats, wheat, etc, as well
as vegetables thrive we'll, sometimes
corn producing as high as one hun
dred bushels per acre.
Don't understand us to say that
Sumter is the "only" county in South
Georgia but we do say that those who
contemplate locating in that section
should see Sumter before purchasing.

THE OPTIMISM OF THE AMERICAN

1t was back in the classic days If
the sixteenth century that John Hey
wood sang:
Let the world slide, let the world go;
A fig for care and fig for woe,
II can't pay, why I can owe"
But how well the spirit of the old
poets song suits the spirit of to-day.
When you meet an American you meet
an optimist. Optimism is the creed Of
the American man and woman, if there
can be said to be any nationwide
|creed. And it is this spirit of buoy
ancy, of youth and good humor that
makes the American the most COM
panionable being upon the earth.
The American of to-day is living the
most active life of any citizen of the
earth. He has his flying machines,
his automobiles, his yachts, his politics
and host of other things that demand
his attention. But with all the COM
mercialism and sensational develop
mentS OF modern life, the American is
not a snob or a cad.
Our society as a whole does not
countenance the man who is snobbish
and unselfish. Probably the tendency
is for the young man in society to
spend more than he ought on things
social, but there are so many sensible.
companionable people who enjoy the
society of to-day without bankrupting
| themselves that this seems to give re-
futation to the general charge of ex-
Itravagance.
No matter what faults one may fnI
with the American of to-day, there are
many good points that should not be
overlooked. The greatest asset OF
! the man of to-day is his ability to keep
in the fight, even though he may have
lost much already. While a man has
hope, he has the greatest of all potentf-
alities. The American never loses
hope.

Tawney urged abrogation of the
rule, instituted by Democratic
House, giving to eight different COM
mittees the power of preparing the
money bills for each Congress and the
adoption of a new rule constituting
one committee, large enough to be
representative of every section. to
have initial control over all appro-
priation bills.
He supported this by showing that
the Appropriations Committee in the
bills in it's jurisdiction cut S16,933.-

Tawney figured that the total def

those of the previous session and
S11.S25,7S9 less than the average an

that a wholesome balance between

that the Government receipts for the

Hide Of Animal Valued at 100000
Made Into Fantastic Couch Cover.

There is among the possessions OF
August Belmont in the residence oc.

100000 couch cover, which was great

charming bride of the great financier,
turfman and chairman OF the Jockey
Club, when recently they stopped on

course, this couch cover did not &C.
tually cost 100000 in its making,
and it's market value, based on the
price of choicest leather, is nothing
opproximating that vast sum, but the
sentimentality Of the wealthy master
of the Nursery would doubtless pre-
clude it's sale at any price. This
couch cover is the hide and hair of
the celebrated race horse and sire.
St Blaise, who had the distinction OF
having been sold by auction for $780,
OO0 and who, under the weight OF
his Twenty-Five years and attendant
infirmities of old age, died at the
Nursery October q, 1909.
Superintendent Kane sent the rich
chestnut coat of ST. Blaise to a tan

to preserve as much as possible OF
it, and it came back beautifully fin.

covered the face and legs, the long
