Help Her Grow.

If you like the old town best,
 Tell lem so If you'd have her lead the rest,
 ,.. Help her grow When there's anything to do Let the fellows count on you, You Il feel bully when it's through, Don't you know. If you want to make hit,
 Get name If the other fellows it,
 Who's to blameP Spend your money in the town, Where you pull the sheckels down, Give the mail concern frown--
 That's the game If you're used to giving knocks,
 Change your style Throw bouquets instead of rocks,
 For while. Let the other fellow roast. Shun him as you would a ghost, Meet his hammer with boast And a smile. When a stranger from afar
 Comes along, Tell him who and what we are
 Make it strong. Needn't fiatter, never bluff Tell the truth, tut that's enough, Join the boosters-they're the stuff,
 We belong.
 Exchange.

Save the Trimmings.

A practical man. talking in Con- necticut newspaper, has this to say upon one interesting phase of very lively housekeeping problem
 Do not leave the trimmings of your meat with the butcher. If you order a steak at 25 cents a pound, the butcher cuts 1t and places 1t on the scale. If the steak weighs exactly three pounds, It will cost you 75 cents. The butcher then trims it, depositing all the trim. mings in box under the counter. You have paid 25 cents a pound for those trimmings, but he keeps them. Later he sells them for 6, and cents a pound.
 "In the mean time you have taken your steak home. If you have scales, as you should have, and weigh your steak, you find that there is vast difference between the actual weight, as you re. ceive it. and the weight for which you pay. But you have no redress. The butcher will tell you the difference is in the weight of the trimmings. He has the trimmings and you can't disprove his statement. When you buy steak. keep the trimmings, Much of them can be used. At any rate, they are evl- dence as to honest weight. If they are of value to those who buy them from the butcher they should have value to you"
 That IS homely, advice, given of course. for the benefit of those old. fash toned housewives who do their own buy ing in person, instead of through the telephone or via an order clerk. It sounds reasonable enough to merit care full consideration by those who are con- sidering the food problem for economi. cal reasons. rather than for advertising purposes Traveller,

The scandalous editor of tue Con necticut Western News assaults the journalism of Hartford by branding its prince of legislative prophets as bald head. The scandalous editor of the Connecticut Western News should re- member what happened to certain pre- vious hard citizens who recklessly de rided another prophet on account of similar deficiencies.-Har Times.
 Yep bears ate 'em up. But those "previous hard citizens" aforesaid reck- lessly derided the "other prophet afore- said, and he didn't like it. There's no derision of The Times's staff legislative prophet, Joe Mullln, and no evidence that he's ashamed of his bald head nor of his membership in the Bald Head Club of America. The cases of Elisha and Joseph present no parallel.

When you have decided that a thing ought to be done, and are do. ing it, never avoid being seen doing it, though the many shall form an un- favorable opinion about It. For if it is not right to do it, avoid doing the thing but if it is right, why are you afraid of those who shall find fault wrongly ?-Epictetus

cHU RCH UNITY.

We wish Brother Rodemeyer might have been at the Baptist church last Sunday morning to hear what one of the pastors had to say on the subject, tchurch unity.) He would not have gone away with the idea that that par ticular minister was afraid of losing his job. We have sometimes had slight suspicion that in making laws for our state the framers had an eye on the man chance of providing comfortable berths for host of followers, but surely Brother Rodemeyer would not insinuate that the chief purpose in maintaining forty 1even different church denominations is 10 provide for .' surplus of ministers? !" And we hope he will not assume. that, fhe fact that this minister declared him. self in favor of church consolidation in. aicates how much he thinks of his job. -Millerton Telegram

 dosing their jobs" is the remotest of kheir considerations. There can be no question that the 'cause" would be greatly furthered by the concentration sf effort that would result from unifi- cation of the "forty-leven different church denominations" The opposition IS not actuated so much perhaps by the ministers fear of losing their jobs as by she difficulty of finding common ground on which all the creeds might anite and reconcile the conflicting non essentials of their repective doctrines. and the worldly jealousies that are not entirely absent from the consideration of the problem. A reference to the ser mon to which Editor Loope alludes, as printed in another part of the Telegram, shows that the Baptist preacher said she frequently met young men on the street whom he would like to try to interest in church services and work but was unable to do so because he knew they had other church affiliations, though not making it 8 practice to attend, and should he try to interest them in attend ing the Baptist church he would be criticised by members of other churches.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HAS
SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF
MOTIVE POWER.
PURCHASE GASOLINE ENGINE
Will Also Enable Line to Operate
Special Trains Between Darien and
Brunswick and bring the People of
the Two Cities in Closer Relations

About year ago the Glynn county
commissioners contracted with the
Georgia Coast & Piedmont railway
whereby they would transfer auto
mobiles and vehicles on flat cars, driv-
en- by some motive power, between
the highlands of Glynn and Mcintosh
counties over the bridges of the river
and Altamaha delta in place OF the
unsatisfactory and uncertain ferry
service which was being furnished at
to make the haul at So one way, S.
round trip and 500 for 1O-trip commu-
tation ticket.
During the past six weeks the engi-
neering department of the G. c. e +.
has made an exhaustive study of the
problem as to what Equipment would
give the most satisfactory service.
II was originally contemplated that
a flat car be used on which would be
mounted a gasoline engine to drive 1t
but it was quickly realized that equip
ment would not be entirely depend
able and could care for only one ma
chine at a time, so an officer of the
engineering department made a trip
to the principal motor factories In The
United States to examine various en-
gines and during study of different
makes discovered that a gasoline TO-
connective used for hauling coal in the
mines Of Tennessee and Alabama,
with slight notifications would han
die two flat cars, taking four machines
across the delta at time when de-
sired.
These conclusions were laid before
the county commissioners last Tuesday
by Mr.. Mendes and were approved, SO
an order will be placed for a gasoline
locomotive to be ready for service by
Jan. /.
The Darien people are much inter-
ested in the fact that the locomotive
VIII be strong enough to handle q
light coach--special trains can be op-
Grated economically for theater par
ties to Brunswick, also baseball and
golf enthusiasts and enable Darien
people to participate closely In the

CHESTER FOR VERA CRUZ.

Philadelphia, Nov. THE scout
cruiser Chester, prepared FOR anv
eventuality, sailed from the Philadel-
phia navy yard at noon today for Vera
Cruz. There was no ceremony in con-
nection with her going, but crowd
of several thousand workmen idle at
the noon hour, and other persons in
the yard at the time saw the swift
warship up-anchor and slowly warp
herself into midstream.
Before sailing Capt. Moffett said he
expected to reach his destination some
time Monday night. The scout cruis-
er, which is equipped with the most
powerful wireless apparatus on any
ship in the United States navy, is
heavily loaded with provisions for
three months, and large supply of
ammunition There are also aboard
machine and field guns.
