One of the leading mill oper- ators explains that the amount of cloth used by women since the introduction of the hobble skirt has reduced from an annual av- craze of l22 yards to 75 yards per capita, loss to the trade of 50 yards. But the loss does not end there. The close skirt demands fewer undergarments and this adds another l5 yards loss, bring ing the total loss up to 65 yards for each of the 3O,0O0,0O0 women Iof the country. This means a total loss of 1850, O,O00 yards, er s97, ,500,OO0 worth of cotton goods. OF one years employment for l2.0A0 workers in the cotton mills. "
 These figures, il must br re- mcmbered. refer only to the loss cs in the cotton goods. The loss in silks and Woolens and finer grades of cloths are proportinn- ately as large. The women may retort that they have shared in this saving, which means much to many of them, and that they are entitled to all they can get by the economy that comes from wearing the hobb]e. That, of course, is one way to look at il, and may have some bearing on the date when women will allow the hobble to pass. But the wo- men must decide for themselves whether they will continue to fol- low fashion the use of which robs thousands of the chance of employment in the textile mills.
 At the same time the women will tell you that a tailor-nade hobble skirt, containing about half as much cloth as the suits in vogue few years ago, costs as much as the former style, if not more. The only saving eff fectcd by the women is when they buy the cloth for their suits and save in the amount purchased. Anyway, the problem is too in tricate for a mere man. The WO- men will have to furnish the 'so- lutinn

MUSINGS OF THE GENTLE
 CYNlC.

Mighty few men live up to- their obituaries. There is such a thing as being too smart. The fish that is quick est to catch on doesn't live as long as the one that keeps it's mouth shut.
 Some people are satisfied to pave the way with good imen- tiOnS.
 Sel-conreit is the derrick that raises a man in his own estima- tiOn.
 Talking through her hal is probably the only way the milli- ncr can sell il. Virtue is apt to stop when the whistle blows, but vice is always willing 70 work overtime. When a woman is afraid of showing her age she tries to GOV CT it with a coat of paint. In spite of the fact that some people want the earth it still re- wolves on it's axis, thus proving there is enough of it to go around.
 Don't burn your bridges behind you unless you have been insured.
 It's all right to have plenty of go, but you also want to have some staying qualities.
 some people are so careful to be prepared for the worst that they miss the best entirely.
 It isn't cvIsry man who can dis tinguish between enthusiasm and mere gushs,
 The pessimist' signs for yes terday: the optimist thinks the happicSt day of his life is tOmor- TOW.
 The fact that men and women are always running after each other is what makes the human race.
 The debt a man owes himself is never Outlawed.
 The one time a woman always keeps her word is when she says she wouldn't marry the best man living.
 There is nothing that makes a man feel SO small as to realize that he has been taken in.
 The people who are weighed in the balance and found want ing are always the first to com- plain that the scales are out of order.
 Don't make the mistake that a woman never uses her head. How else could she display her hats?

FRIDAY, APRIL D, 1913.
COLONEL RICHARDSON

when Senator knute Nelson. of Minnesota, after visiting Alaska, put through congress the bill providing for a Board of Road Commissioners for Alaska, and it was luckier still when Colonel (then Major) Richardson was se- lected as president of the board.
 This was in 1905, and although the Colonel visited Valdez each year, it was not till March, 1909. that, recognizing the advantages this town offered as heaquarters, the commission moved their of flee here, since which time the Colonel has made Valdez his home.
 Every winter he has gone to the national capitaL and, single handed, induced congress to ap- propriate from SiOO,0OO to S250,- 900 each year for roads and trails in Alaska this money be- ing additional to the fund receiN- ed from licenses collected out side the limits of incorporated towns. Although the approprl- ations have been repeatedly turn ed down in the House of Repre- sentatives, il has never failed or passage, for with the aid of our good friend, Senator Nelson, it has always been reinstated and passed by the Senate, and the conference committee has allow ed it to remain.
 It is due entirely to Colonel Richardson that we now have a good wagon road connecting Valdez with Fairbanks, and a large part of the prosperity of the town is derived from that source. Up to this time Valdez has always been in more or less danger from the unrestrained glacier streams, and the city council has rXpend- ed many thousands of dollars in vain efforts to divert the water. In the summer of 1911 the streams were unusually high and invaded the Reservation district. doing great damage to property and thrrarning tle government buildings.
 While we were fighting he wa ter and wondering what would become of us. the Colonel was busy working the wires and as a result Major Cavanaugh, of the Army Engineer Corps, was sent here to estimate the cost of dlke that would forever remove the menace to the town. The Colonel took the estimate to Washington and asked he War drparment tn assist in getting he required ap- propriation. resulting in a bill being drawn which passed the Senate, but failed to be acted up on by the House. In the mean time the Colonel. realizing the danger of delay, succeeded IT having the item added to the Riv- CTS and Harbors bill, which was then under consideration by the Senate. Through the influence of Senator Nelson it was passet by the Senate, but was defeated in conference on the "round thai it did not properly belong to tha| measure.
 \ less energetic or artful mar would have given up the eff 'rt but not the Colonel. who this win ter had the item included in tho Army appropriation bill, and or the third day of last March, tho bill, carrying S55.0O0 for a dik' to protect the public buildings a Valdez, Alaska, passed botl houses of congress and was sign ed by President Taft.
 The money will be available ol July fist and is to be expended D. the Road Commission, and Whel completed the dike will be a last ing monument to the energy an' loyalty of our fellow tnwnsman rol.nnl ID ;o h pHSop

While the textile mills in the East are pretty busy just now, their managers complain that another period of depression IS certain to follow unless the Wo- men of the country abandon the hobble skirt.

Who's This Talking

Probably every person who uses a
telephone frequently has his or her
complaint to make regarding the
way other people converse or start
conversation over the telephone.
The man or woman who yells into
a receiver is an abomination. The
erson who adopts a respectful, de-
cent tone is the exception. The
Salina Journal hits one of the class
of thoughtless phone users in the
following:
"He makes us tired. He makes
everybody tired. And sometimes we
think he must even make himself
tired. We are speaking of the man
who calls up over the phone and
says: Who's this talking?' as his
Introductory remark. We always
feel like saying to such an inquiry

REV. 4. 1. STANFORD CLOSING
SECOND YEARS PASF0RATE
Friends Uncertain as to His Return to
HendersOnyille Church After
Coming Conference.

The tWenty-fourth session of the
Western North Carolina conference or
the Methodist Episcopal church, South,
to be held in Charlotte during this
month will end the second years work
OF Rev. A. L. Stanford as pastor of the
Hendersonville Methodist church.
Mr.. Stanford will not be affected by
the time limit" of four years and his
many friends in Hendersonville are in
terested as to what disposition will be
made in the matter of pastor for this
church.
During his two years here Mr.. Stan
ford has brought about considerable
Improvement in the way of churcn,
building, made numerous additions to
its membership, and performed many
other services in his pastoral capacity
in addition to making numerous
friends who would regret to, see him
leave Hendersonville
The appointments furnish the chief
interest in the conference and although
it is true that the time limit of four
years will affect only fifteen preachers
in this conference this year, only one
CT these being presiding elder, it Is
not to be supposed that only fifteen
changes In the appointments will be
made No preacher in the Methodist
EDiscopa1 church south is anDointe,l
to any charge for longer than one year
at a time and more changes occur in
the appointments at the. close of the
first, second and third years, for vari-
GUS reasons. than occur as the result
OF the time limit" alone. Also, it oc-
ours not infrequently that the necessl-
ty for the removal of one preacher
from an appointment renders it neces-
sary for dozen or even score of
others to be moved.
