ECONOMY IN THE HOME
HOUSEWIFE MUST APPROACH
IDEA WITH COMMON SENSE.
Many Methods Of Avoiding Waste
Really Are More Costly Than the
Ways They supplant--savln0
Must ee Worth While.

There is a great deal Of talk about
the waste which constantly occurs In
the household. Housewives. some
critics assert, do not understand the
fundamental principles of economy.
Waste which would never be tolef-
ated in the running Of big business
goes on In the homes OF the land
every day.
In big rubber factory little while
ago there was a chemist who thought
that he could obtain sulphur. which 10
needed in the manufacturing carried
on In this plant, from old rubber. The
sulphur used cost o few cents q
pound. The chemist finally perfected
a method of extracting sulphur from
the old rubber, and he submitted his
method to the factory heads.
1t was a perfect method. The sui
phur was perfect sulphur. But the
method necessitated the expenditure
Of couple of dollars for every pound
of sulphur saved. And the factory
heads, remembering that sulphur cost
only a few cents a pound. refused to
consider the young mans plan.
1t is just this sort of wasteful econ
omy which goes on In some house.
holds-and which should be con-
demned much more energetically than
the actual waste that occurs.
A certain housewife heard that
dried potato parings made excellent
kindling for fires. and she spent an
appreciable amount of time, each day
rescuing the skins from oblivion and
spreading them out so that they
could dry properly.
The woman who knows how to dis
tinguish between real wastefulness
and expenditures for legitimate needs
is the really good housewife.

The Maryland court Of appeals, in
a preliminary opinion. holds that the
mayor and city council Of Baltimore
may, In the exercise Of it's police pow
ers, validly pass an ordinance for the
SEGREGATION of the white and colored
races without conflicting with the pro-
visions of the Constitution Of the Uni

The opinion, however. declares invalid
on technical grounds an ordinance ap-
proved by the mayor In 1911. An ordi-
ance will be drawn up to meet the le-

Fifty years ago virtually all negroes
we're farm hands, and few owned
their own farms. Now, while agricui-
ture is still the predominant occupa-
ton. there are negroes In every line
of work, and 100000 farms are oper-
ated by them. They own more land
than is embraced in the state of South
Carolina. Thirty thousand negroes
are engaged in business. They own
Ga banks capitalized at $780, 1000. The
Yearbook says: "No other emanci'
pated people have made so great
progress in so short a time. The Rus
sian serfs were emancipated in 1861.
Fifty years after it was found that
$4,000, 900 of them had accumulated
about 100000 worth OF properly.
or about $36 per capita, an average or
about 5000 family. Fifty years ait
er their emancipation only 80 per cent
of the Russian peasants were able TO
read and write. After SO years or
freedom the 100000 negroes in the
United States have accumulated over
s70O. 1000, 900 worth of property, or
about $40 per capita. which Is an av-
erage of $3.50 per family. After eo
years of freedom 70 per cent. OF them
have some education in books" Wnen
such facts as these are considered, IL
is evident that the negro is making
good progress.

County Gets Cash
Great Falls Tribune

The treasury of Teton county has
just received the cash on the sale of
100000 highway and bridge bonds
sold by the county for the improve
ment of roads. These bonds were
taken by the First National bank of
Butte. They are 1920 year bonds
bearing 5 per cent interest and they
were sold for premium of $2,6S6.
This makes the net interest about
3-4 percent. and speaks highly f o r
the credit of the county and the
business ability of the officials who
made the sale. The county commits.
sioners will meet on the 21st and
22nd inst, and probably will k e
some action looking toward the lay.
ing out of highway work and the
spending of this money.
Last year Teton county raised
1900 on it's road levy which mon
ey was apportioned between its 30
road ditricts. Conside rable work is
planned for this year, contracts hav.
ing already been awarded for 9
bridge across the Teton at Collins tC
cost about $4,000 and the commits
sioners are planning to erect another

town of Cut Bank. Two of these
bridges will be on the proposed
