CULTURE A CIVIC ASSET
Fly MRS. J. B. REID.

a human face, standing, waiting. Which is worth while?
 The human body is a great big ma chine, which needs oiling and service to keep it from rusting that every part may be useful. Is not this culture?
 "If vain our toll,
 We ought to blame our culture; not our
 soil''
 Every individual is furnished with natu- ral implements for utilization in the worlds welfare. Each member of the body is a workman. With the heart as the dictator, and the brain as a leader. These two organs have kept the world in motion for thousands of years, and are the geniuses of perpetual growth The lands, the sight, the speed. the hear ing. etc. ,are their subjects and are cul- tivated at their will.
 CIVIC welfare means a greater purpose, high ideals a stimulating of talent and the use of time with your best self. The man who realizes his hands are his real implements for utility brings into service with their use his intelligence, and the two work together for the making of success.
 Man must measure his capacity, culti- vate his talent and stimulate his ener- gies; these are his tools, and the world needs him; he is a civic asset; he has cuI- tivated his nature, and made capable his genius. He has found himself. Thus, we must recognize efficiency cultivate judg- ment and value the privilege of public service. The real scheme in the crea- tion of man is the cultivation of the whole body, that the world may blossom and grow, giving out the harvest from cultured earth, which after all is only civilization; the live and let live exten- sion; the example in the growth of good; then who doubts the value of a higher llfe, and it's influence on the civic af- fairs. Culture always an asset

SOCCER ELEVENS |N| T|P-TOP CONDITION l FOR CAME SATURDAY
Docena Favored to Win Over Wylam-Second Elevens to Battle
 for Trophy

Docena and Wylam soccer football teams are in tip-top condition for their game tomorrow afternoon at Redwood. Docena is doped to win, but Vivian is confident they will continue their string of victories
 The Vivian boys haven't lost a game this seasonSand are trying hard to go through this year without losing a game, and think If they dispose of the Docena boys in tomorrow's battle they will have easy sailing.
 Docena is determined on eliminating WSlam and will send the strongest aggregation of soccer players that has represented them this year. Docena is relying on Woods, their goal keeper to keep Wylams score down. He has the best pair of fullbacks in the league playing in front of him in Brown and Brewis and with this defense Wylam is going to experience a difficult prop osition. Both teams are anxious to get together and settle their differences on the field.
 The teams will lineup as follows: Docena, Woods, goal keeper; J. Brown and Brewis, fullbacks; J. Williamson, Hardin and Stewart, halfbacks; Rowe and Black left wing; McNally, cen ter forward; McCroie and G. William son, right wing. Vivian, Curdie, goal keeper; Tregembo and Jones, fullbacks; Strayhorn, s. Brown and R. Brown, halfbacks; Muir and McPhearson, left wing; Wilson, center forward; McMil- len and McCrorie, right wing. Game called 2:45 D. m. Played in halves 45 minutes. Referee, Tom Brown.
 Ensley and Vivian second elevens will play before the big game, start ing at 1:30 p. m. and playing halves of 30 minutes. This is the final game for the Birmingha Arms cup and will be hard fought throughout. The teams arc about evenly matched and it will take the full hour of play to settle their claim on the trophy.

TALKS ON THRIFT
Thrift in the Home

Thrift is good management, and mo- where is good management more manifest than in the home. You can soon tell what manner of housekeeper the wife is, fer the impress of her ideals and ideas is on every hand. She can waste all the
 husband earns, or she can save the major part.
 Housekeeping is the most complicated
 work in the world, and she who can keep a house well is a good business woman.
 She can make her work drudgery or she
 can make it a pleasure. Men fail in busi- ness and the world knows it; but how
 many home failures there are Of which
 the world never hears!
 It is easy to detect the woman who fails
 as a housekeeper. If you can see the
 dishes unwashed, the children unkempt,
 clothes strung all over the house, the
 bath filtered, the corners dirty and a
 general air of neglect, you may depend upon it she has failed as a business housekeeper. She does not know how. Writing in the Ladies' Home Journal, one woman tells how she succeeds as a homemaker and as a business woman in the home. She aims at simplicity. She
 has simple furnishings, but good. She has no ''parlor'-that abomination of
 olden time, but living room, where they really live. Most parlors are merely to
 look at not to use. She has simple meals things they all stuck on," as her little boy puts it. but lots of them. Baked beans only, but lots of them and good. And who couldn't make meal on the beans mother used to bake? | She has no curtains at the windows; her windows are for light and air, not to display curtains and catch the dust and 1 keep out the sunlight. She wastes no | food. She allows the children to take only as much as they ca neat and no more. If they leave any food on the
 plate. the next meal begins with that cold plate! Her garbage pail is for waste, not food. Swell swill'' costs money and pigs is pigs and relish potato peeings as much as ice cream.
 She doesn't make her attic junk shop She makes it storeroom; cleans it once a year. but that is all. She has order
 In the kitchen. She saves time by having
 things in order. She doesn't dry her
 dishes, but "scalds" them and lets them
 dry themselves-and they can do it bet

 She uses letter press" to iron SOChS dIlu tOWclS anu COdTSt dTtlcl6S that other women break their backs over to no useful purpose.
 A fireless cooker saves gas and time and food. She keeps biscuit flour mixed with the proper proportion of salt and baking powder and biscuits for her oven in five minutes She has all her kitchen utensils handy, cans and receptacles labeled, and thus she saves steps. Some women walk too much on their jobs. She always has change in the house. runs no accounts pays cash on delivery, weighs her pur- chases and takes nothing for granted. She keeps account of all her expenditures
 and knows where her money goes and what it buys. She doesn't hire much help, because she doesn't need it. She
 studies her job and succeeds because she knows how.
