Bluefield's gradual and marked In
crease in business is most gratifying
to every citizen and every prope.tJ
owner. The increased sales of tho
Christmas season Just closed over the
came season one, year ago has been
an eye opener. or course this IN
crease Is more apparent in the STORES
that cater to the Christmas trade. We
DO not suppose for moment that
people would buy fall millinery OF
that the ice business would show an
increase at the Christmas season, but
that all those commodities that go to
make a success of the holiday season
taken in comparison with the same
class Of goods in 1914 showed most
gratifying increase. Much of this is
due to the fact that the Bluefield m1r-
chants have made an effort this Year
to get business. They let it be known
that they carry what is needed ani
what is desired. by advertising far and
wide. This advertising campaign was
an experiment, but we understand
that it is to be continued, and we feel
certain that it will cause Bluetield
business to continue growing.

habit is to determine to save dime
every day-eyerNa nickel or a cent
in the case of 4 very small pay en-
velope. Make almost any sacrihce
to save the sum you have set out to
save. Or another rather enticing form
of thrift is to save every dime you
get, or every nickel or every penny
no matter how manyyou get IN 9 day..
You will soon have a dollar then ten
dollars and finally it wifi get to be
a hundred dollars and you will feel
quite a capitalist. By this time you
will have journeyed far on the way
to thrift and You will find It not
a hard road. Be sure of one thing:
You will never have anything unless
you save something. You cannot eat
your cake and have it, too.
The same might be said regarding
this country and the waste of its
natural resources. According to the
scientific report Of the United State:
Geological Survey, there is one-half
as much coal wasted in America az
is marketed. with regard to petro-
lcum," says the report, 'the situation
is good deal more serious. Petro-
lcum has been used for less than
thirty years, and II Is estimated that
the supply will last about twenty-five
or thirty years longer. If production
is curtailed and waste stopped, it may
last till the end Of the, century. In
natural gas the waste is enormous.
One hundred million cubic feet are,
estimated to be wasted into air every
twenty-four hours. The gas supply
will last about twenty-five years"
Wherever we turn we encounter
waste. Each Individual, however, can
help to counterfeit this thriftless spirit
by being careful. Now: at the be-
ginping of a new year, is an oppor-
tune lime to resolve to become a saver
of time, health and money.
