Homegrown Clothes in South.
n the Augusta tGa.) Chronicle.

From the Augusta ga, Chronicle.
Some time ago in Spartanburs J. w.
Alexander inaugurated a movement for
HOMEGROWN clothes-the wearing in
the south during the summer of cloth
ing made of cotton. At the fair last
fall he succeeded in pledging $50 Spar
tanburg men to buy suits made from
cloth woven at Spartanburg from
homegrown cotton, provided the suits
could be made satisfactorily. Mr..
Alexander has now sent bolt of Bed
ford cord cloth manufactured by a
Spartanburg mill to shrinking plant
in the north. AS soon az this is shrunk
it will be returned to Spartanburg and
a tailor will make d $3.50 suit for Mr.
Alexander. The suit will be worn and
submitted to d shrinking test If 1T
stands the test all right cloth will be
ordered for the other $40 suits and
Spartanburx will be wearing not only
homer made. but homegrown suits.
The Charlotte (hronicle regards Mr.
AleXander's idea as a most excellent
one 1t says: why should not the men
of the south wear clothes manufactured
from cotton in summer? Why should
not farmers of the entire south Tor IN
stance, wear cool, comfortable cotton
clothes during this season? Why should
not the laborers of this section IN the
city and in the country wear cotton
overalls and khaki suits instead OF

The Lack of Coal Standards.
n:ineering Magazine

the Engineering Magazine.
In purchasing coal without specifica-
tons il is common practice to use the
trade name for the coal under conSidera-
ton. These names frequently refer TO
mining districts containing many mines,
the output from which shows great vari-
alton. due to the different quality of Goals
in the various mines. as well as to the
degree OF care used by individual oper-
ators i'll preparing the product for mar
ket
Even if the coal is specified to come
from particular mine, there will still
be some variation in quality and the addi-
tiOnal disadvantage that through acct
dents or labor troubles the supply from
this mine may be suddenly cut off.
The greatest disadvantage in lack OF
definite requirements is that in case of
variations i'll the quality of the coal sup
piled there is no definite basis of settle
ment between the dealer and consumer.
This works TO the disadvantage of both
parties. sometimes when the dealer
supplies good coal trouble is caused by
J the lneXperlence of the firemen In
handling the coal. by the boiler plant
| being unsuitable. or by the general tend
ency To blame the coal for any falling
! OFF in economy which is observed in the
! operation of the plant.
On the other hand, the dealer may de-
+! liver poor coal and claim that because
the same coal is giving satisfaction in
other places the trouble must be in the
| consumers boiler room.
| Without analysis calorimeter tests
| it il difficult to prove that the coal is
bad. at least to convince the dealer
| of the fact; and moreover. even IL the
| case is proved, there is no previously
| agreed upon basis of adjustment. The
| result. in most cases, lis that the Goa
must be paid for at the full price, often
| with serious loss to the user il the
] amount of poor coal is large.

BIRD SANCTUARY" TOWN.
Meriden, N. H., Offers Hospitality
to Feathered Friends.
From the New York Times


A little New Hampshire village has
gone "daffy" over birds. The Oldest
resident of Meriden, as well as the
youngest child who can talk and think
is interested in the novel idea which is
being worked under the direction of
Ernest Fl. Baynes an ornithologist
who is known beyond the confines of
New England.
Mr. Baynes started the Meriden Bird
CLUB two years ago. and the results in
work for the welfare of the feathered
tribe have been rather remarkable
Ihe object of the club. as stated in
Its constitution. is: THE increase and
protection of our local wild birds, the
stimulation of interest in bird life and
the gradual establishment of a model
bird sanctuary
With little money. but with much
energy, the devoted band Of farmers.
educators. students and summer WISH
tors have pushed on under the leader
ship of 'the general manager" as they
cali Mr.. Baynes, until the bird sanctuary
Is an accomplished fact, and the VIII
lage itself is In a fair way to be as
famous a bird-protection village as is
the establishment of Count Won Ber-
lepsch on his Thuringian estates in
Germany.
Feeding the birds in winter has been
a conspicuous part of the Meriden Bird
Clubs work. In d report by Mr.. Baynes
he says:
Last winter most of the people in
the village fed the birds, more or less,
and a few carried on the work on a
really magnificent scale. Lewis J.
Stickney and DR.. Ernest l.. Huse were es-
pecially active. After snowstorms
there were literally thousands of birds
feeding on the main streets of Meriden
and the sound Of their united voices
made it seem as if spring had returned
several weeks in advance
Birds were fed not only on the
trampled snow and in the village
street. but in specially built food
houses. food bells, on food trees, on
suet hung up in bags and in glass window
boxes. which brought the little crea-
lures right into the room with the fam
lily. where they might be watched at
leisure, with only a pane of glass be-
tween the watcher and the bird:
For the nesting season several nun
dred bird boxes were hung in the VII
lagc Bird baths have also been set
up at many points. and have been WI
patronized by the visitors.
To protect the birds lives toe cat
population of the village has been cun-
siderabIy reduced. English spa1ro" S
have been severely dealt with when
ever they appear. and the red squirrel
has been kept away, so far as possible.
For the sanctuary the club ha., re
ceived as gift from a woman r;cm-
Der a diversified farm of several acres,
comprising forest. pasture and swamp.
r. H. Kennard. landscape artist OF
Boston. who belongs to the club, has
MANNED the laying out of paths and
the planting of shrubbery. which VII
serve for shelter and also provide food
for the expected multitude OF bird IN
habitants.
