ECONOMY AND WASTE.
(By Rev. w. NJ. Wniteside)

(By Rev. w. NJ. w llteSl0e)
The above caption is Of vital interest
to the Christian church. Economy ard
waste stand ore over against the 9TH
er. Indeed one seems to be the ever
lasting enemy of the other. During
the past three years in my work |
have been contrasting the amount o.
money wasted with that which is used
in CARRYING on the work OF the king
dom. Some facts will suffice to JUS
tify this article.
When it Began and Why.
Between the ages Of twenty ana
thirty years the habits Of economy or
extravaganza are permanently -ormed
AT the age Of sixty 95 per cent. cen.
Of men are either objects of charity
or are dependent on their children. A
mans habits between the aSes OF ~
and 80 will determine whether he falls
in with the 90 per cent or the remain
ing five per cent.
How to Begin.
Thousnds of business concerns as
we'll as individuals have gone to the
bad because they had an inadequate
system of bookkeeping. The three
richest women in America are said to
be Mrs. Hetty Greene, Mrs E. H. Har-
riman and Mrs. Russell Sage The
are said to have followed closely the
following rule: practice economy and
keep accounts.
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller is said 10
have begun Ledger A at eight years
q age, after driving a good bargain
in the sale of some turkeys MS
mother had given to him. Much
CT Mr.. Rockefeller's success is due
to his early habit of keeping accounts.
Begin an account with yourself to-
day. Write in book the things you
buy and soon you will be able to cut

also find yourself purchasing at D.,
ter prices.
Vulut of Little Things
Mr.. E. H. Hartman, the railroad
king of America is said to have saved
metal clips taken from the sheets Of
paper found in his mail and to have
torn off the blank pages of paper and
laid them aside for use in writing
nemorandums. When visitor made
some remark about it Mr.. Harrimtn
said: "No man can afford not to be
saving of every trife. Only the poor
are wasteful.'

A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service. Where the
owners of rural lines are responsible for their upkeep
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require thorough overeauling occa-
sionaly if the best service is to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with us be
overhauled at least year. and that at least
experienced telephone assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each
SMALL and this cost will be more than Offset by the
improved service.
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this Sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their SERVICE we
will appreciate their talking the matter with
Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-

gown with silh0uetted velvet birds on
bare back and shoulders.
Mae Desmond has q back of very
marked beauty. When Ora One, prin-
cipal of the School Of Millinery Of
the Woman's institute of New York,
saw this beautiful back she decided
to create a gown of which the decol-
letage at the back would be the
marked feature.
This feature-the silhOuetted birds
was suggested to the designer by
Maeterlinck's blue Bird" The birds
are Of velvet and are pasted on the
arms and back. Rhinestone eyes for
the birds add %brillicncy while the out.
spread wings hug closely to the arms
and back.
The gown itself is most remarkable.
It is Of Balmasque velvet that falls
gracefully and Grapes artistically,
having sufficient weight in the body Of
the material not only to cling firm
~ to the body but to adjust itself in
flowing lines to the floor. The square
Of which the front is formed is split
from one corner to the bust line, nfter
which the points are rolled back simu-
lating lapels. The gown at the back
Is held across the shoulders by eight
cords made of velvet.

qualities as follows:
Hardness is the property a rock
should possess in order to resist sue
cessfully the abrasive action Of traffic,
especially iron-tired vehicles, which
tend to grind to dust the individual
fragments of rock forming the wear
ing course of macadam road.
"Toughness is the property a rock
should possess to resist successfully
fracture under the impact Of traffic.
Binding power, or cementing values
as it is nor frequently called, is the
ability which the dust of a rock should
possess or develop by contact with wa
ter, SO as to bind or cement the larger
rock fragments together and prevent
their displacement under the sheartng
action Of traffic. This property Is es-
pecially valuable In water-bOund

pended upon to maintain the integ-
rity Of the wearing course as the road
