One Source
of Economy

Among the men who make
the best of business in this
world are those who get the
pennies and the nickles-the
little amounts that the average
individual thinks little about.
Ii the masses were brought to a
realization of what il means to
save the little thing-the dribs
there would be less poverty
and misery in this world-little
things wasted that might be
turned to account for the benefit
of humanity.
The Cincinnati Post makes a
pertinent point in this counec-
ton when it says:
From the waste paper alone
one railroad last year realized
over $4,000.
Pins, pens, nails, old brooms.
bottles, tin cans and worn out
machinery of all sorts gathered
up along the routes by the rail
way companies and turned into
money. Even the ashes are sold
or utilized for improving the
railroad bed.
These things seem small TO
command the attention of
rich railway company? 1t must
be remembered that the railway
company is rich largely because
it looks after the little things.
The greatest corporations in
the world are not above taking
care of even the fractions of
pennies.
Waste forms one of the most
vital questions in economics,
not alone for railroads and big
manufacturing plants, but for
every household.

OUR SIX FOOTED FOE.

bacterioiogist, sounds a timely
alarm of these persistent in
sects, millions OF which will
swarm forth with the coming

they are responsible for much
of the sickness and many of the
deaths in Atlanta, he in no de
gree exaggerates their menace.
His statement is based upon
science and statistics.

take precaution against the fly

Yet the ordinary house fly

curse and peril to the cities of

storied hydra of old. Indeed,
it's invasions are even more
dangerous because its seeming
insignificance disarms our
fears. The house fly is such a
common carrier of typhoid

S. w. Va. Came
and Fish Club.

A number of persons interest
ed in protecting game and fish
held a meeting here week ago
at the office OF Mr.. j. #. Bullitt
with a view of organizing u
game and fish club for the pro-
tion of game and fish in Wise
and adjacent counties of the
State. The purpose of the club
is to get members interested in
the subject from every county
in the Southwestern part of the
State on the waters of the
Holston, Clinch, Powells River
and head waters of Big Sandy
river, who will pledge them
selves TO do all they can to have
the laws enforced for the pro.
lection of game and fish. The
club proposes TO raise a consid-
cradle fund through initiation
fees and subscriptions which
will be devoted to the prosecu-
ton of all who may violate the
law. They expect TO employ a
lawyer in each county who will
give especial attention to the
prosecution of all cases occur
ring in his county. 1t Is be.
lieved that if the law against
seining and dynamiting, par
ticulariy, were enforced, this
would be the finest sectien OF
country for game fish, especial
ly black bass, in the United
States. For years past, howev-
er, numerous parties have been
both SEEMING and dynamiting to
such an extent that il is a rare
thing for anyone to make a
good catch. All that ia needed
is to have someone 10 bring the
matter to the attention Of the
Courts, and this the Game and
Fish Club promises TO do.
Especial attention will be given
to the enforcement OF the law
which prohibits the taking Of
bass in any way between the
10Th of March and the 10th Of
June; the law which prohibits
the taking of bass in any way,
except hook and line, at any
time; the law which prohibits
seining for any kind of food
fish with n seine of less than
two inch mesh, and the law
which prohibits the dynamiting
of fish.
Anyone Who desires further
information on the subject
should address the Southwest
Virginia Game and Fish Club,
