4 lions of homes in America could not be
expressed in figures that would be at all
comprehensive. Munsey's Magazine puts
| it this way:
| Twenty million families-the big con-
solidated family of the United States
each needlessly burning one single match
day. at the price of cents a dozen
boxes-only one match wasted to a whole
family-is the equivalent of burning down
every year house worth half a million
dollars.
"If SO little a thing in the unit of the
individual-so little thing as a single
match day for each family of five per-
sons-can mean so much in the aggregate
of national waste, isn't all the rest of the
possible and the actual waste as clear as
sunshine?
There Is the light that is left burning
when not needed. There is the fire fam
ing under the empty kettle. There is the
good food swept neglected from the ta BILE.
There is the farm implement, the artisan s
tools, the household utensil, misused and
damaged. In all varieties there is waste
by nearly all the units-and the aggregate
| is immeasurable."
Housewives leagues are doing much to
promote household economy of the high
| est order, and as their work is extended
| there ought to be a satisfactory increase
| in individual savings bank accounts. The
Associated Clubs OF Domestic Science are
working along this line also. Mrs Win
nifred II. Cooley. president of that organi-
| zation, gives these twelve Don't" which
we heartily commend to women who want
| to save money:
Don't be optimistic regarding the
butcher. Have scale in your kitchen.
Don't market by phone unless you
want seconds and left overs.
Don't forget there is much nutriment
| in cheap cuts of meat If properly cooked.
Don't economize on cereals. They are
the best and cheapest of foods.
Don't buy in large quantities If your
| home is small.
Don't take ice in winter. Use a win
dow box.
| Don't buy new novels.
| Don't jump on fore every 70
| blocks Walk,
Don't get into debt Charge accounts
are vampires.
Don't live beyond your income"

HOME
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Handsome Residence of
Banker Burned-LOss Cow
cred by Insurance

Huntsville. June 26.-(Special.l 1.-The
handsome home of w. r. Hutton, cashier
of the Huntsville l;ank and Trust conf
pany, located on Adams avenue, was dam
aged to the extent of about $3.50 yesterday
by fire that started in the kitchen from
an ash can. The tlaze soon spread over
the roof and the whole structure Was
flooded, not. however before most of the
contents had been removed. The house
and furnishings were insured enough to
cover the loss.
The cost of tying has gone up somewhat
in the proportion to the cost of living, the
city commissioners having notified the
public that hereafter lots in Maple Flili
cemetery will cost $25 instead of $40, as
heretofore, and the cost of single graves
has gone up from 81 to s.. The new scale
of prices. however, affects non-residents
only and no change has been made in the
prices to local citizens.

than | have observed during the past
TWO weeks, said Engineer Keller
Thursday The plan to build highways
through the state has met with keen
FAVOR In all parts of Alabama, and |
doubt If any movement has been IN
ausurated in the state in the last 10
years in which people are more vitality
Interested
During the past three weeks I nave
Travelled through 30 counties of the state,
ana nave visited the leading cities and
towns in these counties. At all of these
places | talked with leading citizens, and
they all expressed the greatest possible
enthusiasm on the plan to build public
highways through the state.
Of course, | cannot yet say what rec
concentrations 1 shall make to the high
way commission. Many of the roads over
which travelled will be utterly impossible
IN reference to their adaptability to form
a part of trunk line In this respect l
shall have to consider their location, the
section through which they lead, and
many other questions.
Blount Springs Route Impracticable
For example, / should not recommend
tnat the Birmingham-Decatu highway
lead through Blount county by way of
Blount Springs. Blount county has some
excellent roads, and Judge John f. Kel-
ton, the probate judge of that county,
is one of the most ardent advocates of
good roads in the state. OF course, the
highway leading from Birmingham to De-
catur should extend through Blount coun-
ty by way OF Oneonta and Blountsyille.
The route by way of Blount Springs is
both impracticable and dangerous, and
1t would cost an enormous amount of
money to build a road through that sec
tion of the county.
las soon as I return from my trip
through the wiregrass section | shall
begin the preparation of my report to
the highway commission. With this data
before them the commission will then
make recommendations to the legislature,
which will probably not meet until the
next regular session. y

every citizen Of town Is and should
he to assist and help your neighhors.
encourage legitimate business Of all
kinds, d. all you can and encourage
all in the matter OF improvement In
making the town attractive and Civ
ing it home like appearance. When
this is done people from distance

them to locate with US and become

How to Kill a Town.

The following has been printed il

Buy from pendlers AS much and a.
often rs possible.
Denoun ,e your merchants because
they make profit on their goods
Glory 10 tine downfall Of man who
has dor much To build upyonr town
Make your town out had pace
and stab it every chance you get
Refuse To unite in any scheme for
the hettermpnt Of the material inter
ests OF the people.
Tell your merchants that you can
buy 600 l., IA great deal cheaper IN
some other tuNn and charge them
with eXtortlon II a stranger comes
to your town tell him everything is
Ovcrdonr, and pc l,ct Il general crash
~ the near future.
patronize outside newspapers to the
exclusion Of your own and then de.
nounce yours for not being as large
and us cheap as the city papers.
Hyou are merchant don't advcr-
tise in the home paper, hut compel
the editor to 20 elsewhere for adver-
tisemen,s and howl like sorehcad
because he dues 81. Buy rubber
stamp and use it. 1t may save you a
few dimes and make your letter head
and wrapping paper look as though
you were doing business in one
horse town.
If you are farmer, curse The place
where you trade as the meanest on
eirth. Talk this over to your neigh
borS and tell them the men are rob
hers and thieves 1t will make your
property much less valuable: but you
don't care.
No town, county or community will
ever prosper, to any great extent,
where there is division or strife of
any nature. People in towns should
strive to help each other, for in help
ing Others you invariably help your.
S"lf. There Is no man that cannot
assist 10 the growth, prosperity and
development Of his town, However
small his influence, it has its effect.
Competition Is the life Of trade and
merit wins. No town will prosper
and grow where lack OF enterpri g
aid push on the part of the citizens
