AN ECHO OF A ROMANCE

Port of Savannah.

with an appropriate address.
The waving Girl" has figured In
many heroic rescues On the Savannah
river. For year she has been one
of the characters of the port. and
her CHEEKY greetings to arriving and
departing ships. which have earned
for her the title of the Waving
GIRL" are famous In every port where
men 60 down to the sea In ships.
About twenty years ago. when
Miss Martus was young girl. the
tugboat Cynthia, No. 2. Capt. Chas.
Hayns. came to this port from Phila-
delpha to compete with the local tug
boat company. Whenever the Gym
thia No. 2 would pass up and down
the river. Miss Martus would waive
to it. and Capt. Haynes would blow
the whistle three times in reply.
When the Baltimore and New York
steamers entered this port she
waved to them, also. and finally she
made no exceptions but waved to
every passing ship, the customary re-
ply to three whistles being given.
The Waving Girl" has become an
institution of the port of Savannah.
Every entering and departing ship
is greeted by her or waved a CHEEKY
farewell, as the case may be, and the
Waving Girl Is known in every
port of the world. Many of the cap
tains entering the port have pre-
scented handsome trophies to the
Waving Girl" and in her house on
Elba Island is a collection of trop-
HES from all parts OF the world
The rescues in which she has figured
have lent an air OF romance to the
Waving Girl" and she has become
a tradition of the port.

TO BUILD POULTRY HOUSES
Can BE Successfully Constructed Of
Almost Any Materiai-Three I'M
portant Essentials.

A poultry house can be successfully
constructed of almost any material as
lumber, brick, stone, adobe, sod or ce-
ment and even a dugout will answer
very well. Many of our fanciers put
too much money into the buildings. All
that is necessary is that the houses
are warm, properly ventilated and
well lighted. The wall does not need to
be doubled providing the single one is
tightly constructed. With a frame
house one thickness of good matched
lumber such as drop siding, flooring or
shiplap is all that is necessary. 1t is a
good plan to build the outside wall Of
some of the cheaper materials than
matched lumber-such as barn siding
with battons-and then lath and plas-
ter on the inside or line it with build
Ing paper. preferably tar paper. This
makes warm house, which Is some
what more expensive than single
walled but does not present so good an
outside appearance. However, for a
good cheap house that presents a good
appearance. there is nothing better
than the single wall, covered with drop
siding.

FARMERS USING MORE CHECKS
Gratifying Information Secured From
Government Sources Regarding
Banks az Depositories.

~
From a government source comes
the gratifying information that more
farmers are using the banks as places
For .depositfng their funds than ever
before. This is a marked indication
that the farmers are becoming better
business men. Incidentally it also in
dicates that they have more money to
nut into the banks.
The use of checks in business Is not
alone a great convenience and a safe
guard In the matter of receipts, but
tends toward dignity and order. And
this we regard as of prime Importance,
particularly among farmers whose
business Is too often conducted
loosely.
A clear idea as to how little real
none. is used in business way can
be had from the following figures COM
piled by the National Monetary com-
mission:
Out OF the total retail deposits In
five states amounting to $4,S94,191,
the proportion of checks was 1913 per
cent; currency, 21.8 per cent, and
specie o. per cent. The percentage
In each state In the order of the high
est ratio of checks was: Nebraska,
IS ) per cent; Iowa, 1872 per cent. !;
Kansas. 74.4 per cent; Illinois, 70.5
per cent, and Texas, 68.5 per cent.
Other states, like North Dakota and
South Dakota, show = similar condi-
ton of affairs.

HOW UGLY MEN WIN BEAUTIES

Choice Often Made by Girls 10
"1lind Psychic Impulse"

Chicago.-Several Chicagoans have

lecture to the class in sociology at the

The real reason is what DR.. Gamer

blindness Of said impulse. It often
strikes the right trail to q fat banl

which compensate for the mere ply

Persons like j. r. Morgan and

those whom Dr.. Cameron described
IN his lecture as having overcome the
