BIRTHS EXCEED
DEATHS IN 1915
Better Record Made In Birth and Mar
riages Over 1914-Fewer Deaths.

The city birth rate for 1915 exceeded
the death rate by IT'S. This is a good
showing, not only is there a net in
crease in population but a decreasing
death rate over 1914 as we'll as an in
creasing birth rate over the same year.
The figures taken from the vital
statistics records in the Office Of the
eity health officer show that there
we're $50 births, "a marriages and 60
deaths in 1915 and that compared with
914 there was an increase in the
2irths and marriages and a decrease
I the deaths.
The figures for 1914 are births 17S.
eddings 81, deaths 70, a summary of
tlich shows It's more births and three

Is than in 1914.

MADE MONEY
By READING ADS
You Can Do The Same. Get The
Habit, It's A Good One.

The value of advertising to the buy
er of household goods, groceries, cloth
ing ETC., has often been mentioned in
| the Reporter. Once more the Reporter
calls your attention to the value of
| reading the advertisements that ap-
pear in it's columns and cites this ex-
ample of what can be done in the
money saving line through the practice
of reading the advertisements: A GER
tain large store in this city advertised
a big sale and this woman carefully
read the items advertised She went
to the store and placed grocery order
that t0talied S2.I0 al the regular pric-
es, but at the advertised price, the
total came to but $1.68. This woman
on this purchase Of advertised goods
alone and because she was a reader of
advertising saved herself S102. This
was not all she bought, but it is given
as an example OF how, those who
watch the advertisements of the vari-
Gus merchants and take advantage Of
the sales can save themselves a great
deal of money, as we'll as time and
worry.
Another example is of a clothing
sale where a gentleman went in and
saved $685. on purchase that ordin-
arialy would have cost him $1,000.
Does it pay to read advertisements
You have already found the answer
in the foregoing story
There is nothing that you can put
your time to that viii save you more
money than can be saved by reading
the advertisements of the local mer-
chants and taking advantage Of the
offerings they make
Get the ad-reading habit in 1915 and
save money. Keep track of it and you
will be surprised at the amount you
haved saved by the end Of The year.

FISH FROM THE FARM.

Fish as farm product may be an
accomplished fact in the near future,
as the government is doing considera-
bic missionary work with the hope of
inducing farmers with suitable land
for the purpose to embark in this in
dustry as a side issue. Thousands of
acres of land unsuitable for agricuI-
ture or other established industries
might be made to yield fish, and this
movement might help US bring down
the cost of living. It is very common
to see ponds, swamps and small sheets
of water lying useless, and marshy
meadows producing nothing except
small quantity Of inferior grass. With
small amount Of labor and capital
such places might be transformed in
to ponds, which aside from their val
he for fish culture, would be of ma
terial benefit to farmers as reservoirs
for the storage Of water for irrigation
during the period of drought. Young
dsh for stocking ponds and all neces-
;ary advice and instructions can be

.Eat ne realized Its hopelessness, but
Tuanita shook her head. and went on:
Don't do it. 1t would be pity. I'm
rather hungry, too, for friend;
don't mean for a friend in my work,
but a friend in my life. Can't we be
friends like that?"
She stood looking into his eyes, and
slowly the drawn look of gravity left
his face.
He had always thought quickly and
dared to face realities. He was now
facing his hardest reality. He loved
her with utter hopelessness. Her eyes
told him that it must always be just
that way, and yet she had appealed to
him-she had said she needed his
friendship. To call it love would make
it necessary for her to decline it.
Henceforth life for Anse Havey was
to mean a heartache, but if she want
ed his allegiance she might call it
what she would. It was hers.
Swiftly he vowed in his heart to set
a seal on his lips and play the part she
had assigned to him.
I'm right glad ye said that" he an
sured her. 4 reckon ye're right. l
reckon we can go on f1gntin' and bein'
friends. Ye see, as l said, didn't know
much about womenfolks, an because
liked ye l was worried
She nodded understandingly.
Suddenly he bent forward and his
words broke impetuously from his
lips.
f'Do ye low to marry that man Nal
colm?" He came step toward her,
then raising his hand swiftly, he add
ed: 'No-don't answer that question:
That's your business. ] didn't have no
license to ask. Besides, don't want
We to answer it"
Its a bargain, isn't it?" she smiled.
Whenever you get lonely over there
by yourself and find that Hamlet isA' t
as lively a companion as you want,
or that Alexander the Great is little
too fond of himself or Napoleon is
overmoody, come over here and Wen
try to cheer each other up"

ing smile, I'm liable to feel that way
tonight, but l amt comm to learn civil
lization. I'm just comm to see you. )"

old Beardog, lying at their feet. shiy-
cred as he slept with his forepaws
stretched on the hearth and the two
men hitched their chairs nearer to the
blaze. By the bed still stood the rife
that had been F1etch's; the rifle upon
which the boys eyes always fell and
which to him was the symbol of his
duty.
As Bad Anse Havey talked of the fu-
ture with all the instructive forceful-
Less that he could command, the boys
set face relaxed, and into his eyes
came CLINT of eagerness, because he
himself was to play no small part in
these affairs
Into his heart crept the first burning
of ambition, the first reaching out
after career. He saw a future open
Ing before him, and his grave eyes
were drinking in pictures in the live
embers.
Then, when ambition had been kin
died, the older man preached the topic
which was the crux of his plea
THE man that can do things for the
mountains must be willin' TO make a
heap of sacrifices, Jeb,'' he said.
JED laughed, looking about the bare
room Of his cabin.
MEX sacrifices?" he repeated. 81
hain't never knowed nothin' else but
that. / reckon I hain't skeered of it.
Il didn't mean that way, Jeb." Anse
spoke slowly, holding the boy with his
eyes, and something Of his meaning
sank in so that the lads lean face
cEain hardened.

Is just one place here where the spiders
are welcome to come and spin their
webs unmoIested It's that rack of
guns. Did you ever hear Of the shrine
at Lourdes?'
81 reckon not" he confessed uneas-
lily. Of late he had become a little
ashamed of the things be cid not

We'll, this is going to be like it,
Anse. 1t is told that Wnen the lame

pray they went away straight and
strong and clear of vision. There
hang at the shrine there numberless
crutches and canes, discarded because
the men who were carried there went
away needing them no more. Some
day your old order of crippled things
here in the mountains is going to be-
come straight and strong, and these
guns will be the discarded crutches."
He looked at her, and if no response
was elected to her prophecy, at least
he could not contemplate without a
stirring Of enthusiasm the flushed face
and glowing eye with which she spoke.
1t was all worth while if it could bring
that sparkle of delight to her counte-
nance.
It's right pretty, but it won't hardly

them guns just so long as they don't
need 'em. I'm glad to see We pleased

A little before Christmas old Milt
McBriar went to Lexington, and there
he met a heavily bearded man in rough
clothes who had arrived that morning
from the West. They conferred in a
cheap eating house which bears rag

is kept by an exile from the noun

Now tell me, Milt," suggested Luke
Thixton briefly, what air this thing We
wants me ter do. I'm done with these

But Milt McBriar's eyes had been
vacantly watching the door. 1t was a
glass door, with it's lower portion paint

name of the proprietor.
