IT is the continued harping on
the idea of "hard times" that helps
to make times hard-tending to
make the man with few "scads" in
his jeans more careful of them.
There IS no apparent cause for
"hard times" in Virginia this year;
wages are up to the standard Of
past seasons, and the combined
forces of the mills and mines show
fully as great percentage of labor
employed. Eliminate your "hard
times" cry from your conversation,
and both yourself and your listener
will feel better over it.
The NEWS has been favored with
a copy of "The Financial History of
the City of Virginia" 1t is WELL
printed booklet of about fifty pages
and contains a complete history of
the finances of the city, showing all
moneys received and what same
were expended for, with a recapitu-
ton of the city's assets and liabili-
ties. 1t is most comprehensively
compiled and altogether is public
document of much merit, something
that every city might pattern after
with good results. To put the af

taxpayers in manner that can be

givings as to the honesty of the
officials. The document is the worh

Marine Spider.

been found among calcareous sea
weeds on the Mediterranean shore.
Like our own water spider, it can
carry under water with it bubble
Of air. It lives in the burrows of rock
boring shells, or in the empty shells
Of other species. By spinning numer-
GUS threads across the mouth, it keeps
the water out of its submarine abode.
It can creep about the bottom, but has
to keep a firm hold to prevent the
shell from rising to the surface. Small
