A FIDDLERs' CONVENTION.

News from Atlanta, Ga, telling OF
the OId-Time Fiddlers' Association,
suggests one Of those picturesque old
types of personality that are fat
becoming extinct.
Nowadays there are 10 fiddlers.
They are allviolinists. You can S e

Every country neighborhood iormer
Iy had its fiddler. He had
rarely taken anything that could ue
called professioIaI Institutional. Oh
ten he brought his cherished fid1le
at an auction, and picked up his YER
sion of technique from some old
timer who had preceded him.
Music was to him the chief joy
of living. He usually had some os-
tensfble calling at which he earned a
bare living wage. But as he was hof
ing corn or cobblirg shoes his heart
was in the breakdown to come off
that night at the cross roads.
He had little conceit as to his own
powers. Usually you had to use
many arts of persuasion to induce
him to bring along his fiddle to a
public function. The writer was az
quanted with typical old-t;me fidd-
Ter, who used sometimes to start out
with his instrument, hut to repent
and conceal his fiddle behind a wall
or in some barn before reaching. his
destination
Once started, it was as difficul
to quelch the liquid melody as to in
duce him to begin. ''Ir ,sh Washer

RETAIL TRADE IN MARCH

In the caIenG ar of retail trade,
every month has it's own Individual
characteristics. March is time
when the public. by following news
paper advertising, can stin pick up
some goods at low prices, which the
merchant dislikes to carry over I'M
IL fall. But the principal character
istic of the month is in the news
about the spring styles.
The warmth Of the returning sun
light sparkles in these announce
ments The description Of light
clothing in gay shades suggest all tnt
destinations OF summer travel, sport
and outdoor lie 1t is a pleasure
to read the spring advertising, mere
" as a presaae Of the good old
summer time"
March is the time in which people
shopping because the assCrtmnets OF
of tas,e and discrimination enjoy
goods are more complete than they
will be later. Economically minded
people ask anxiously, however, wheth
er things are going to cost more
now than if bought later.
Here is where it is up to the
merchant to tell what he has been
doing. He has been planning for this
spring campaign for months past. II
he has been alert and watchful, and
weld informed. he has found oppor-
tQnities to build up his stock at
prices that will please the public.
Not every merchant is able to buy
at right prices in these times OF
shams. To do so calls for extended
experience in a given line, thorough

BEATING HIGH COST OF LIVING

A Philadelphia woman who is a
famous culinary expert, has been at
lacking the high cost of living in q
practical way in little mining town
in West Virginia AS starter she
announced she could prepare a good
dinner for four men at a cost of fifty
cents.
Four men were chosen having ex-
ceptional appetites The meal open
ed with a beef stew, the meat of
which cost 10 cents. AS potatoes
were expensive, Mrs. Scott replaced
ehem with duh p,ings at 4 cents, in
Guiding parsley ana other seasoning.
A soup of stock cost > cents, and a
can Of peas 6 cents. Fer dessert, In
dian pudding was served at a cost O.
5 cents, and the coffee for the four
men cost 7 cents.
On the second day of the demon
stratIon a larger building had to be
usad for the crowd.
There is no question that a con
tribuung factor to the h.sn cost OF
living IS the absence OF economy in
many kitchens. Reform, to be eftec-
i've, must begin nol only at home
but in the home.
