MAKES HOUSE OUT OF STRAW
Colorado Ranchman Builds Six-Room
Residence at a Cost of S270,
Exclusive of Labor.

Bricks without straw are bad, pro-
verbally, but house made of straw
without bricks might seem worse than
one made of bricks without straw.
Nevertheless, a Colorado ranchman
has built a six-roOm residence of
straw, at cost of S270, exclusive of
labor, and finds it warmer in winter
and cooler in summer than an old
fashioned log house or a modern brick
or concrete house.
The straw for this residence was
baled. The bales were laid as if they
were bricks or blocks of stone. Wall
building with large and easily handled
units proved easy work compared with
handling large blocks of stone and
very fast work compared with brick
laying. The walls were coated with
cement inside and out. Pebbles were
added to the final outside coat. The
house presents the appearance of peb-
ble-covered concrete. 1t has plenty of
windows and is well lighted and ven
tilated. Popular Mechanics Magazine,
which tells the tale of this unusual
house, predicts that it will last a long
time and prove exceptionally comfort
able in extreme Of winter and sum.

Wasted Power.

Through long course of legislative
fatuousness our country has lost mill
lions of dollars in wasted power, and
stands to lose many millions more un-
less the present situation is remedied.
The fundamental economic principle
about hydraulic power is that every
cubic foot of water that plunges down.
ward unutilized, is sheer waste of in
herent national wealth. If you do not
dig up your coal or cut down your
wood it's fuel value remains, while in
the case of unusual water powers, the
water of the present runs to absolute
waste. The thing of vital Importance
to the country at the present time is
that all the sources of hydraulic pow
er, which are economically available,
should be brought quickly into use SO
as to give modern industry fair
chance. The water which is not used
today is lost capital. We need water
power legislation which shall give en-
cOuragement toward the immediate de-
velOpment of every horse power worth
the while, with provision to protect the
government in its ownership, if you
like, by regulation of prices and by
limitation of charter rights, but still
constructive instead of destructive as
at present. The electro chemical in
dustries need more power at Niagara
and legislators should see to it that
these great industries are taken care
of.-Metallurgical and Chemical En-
gineering.

Unquestionably.

In San Francisco there was promi-
nent lawyer who prided himself on his
astuteness in questioning Chinese wit
nesses. He was very nearsighted, so
failed to note that the dress of Chi
nese witness was of finer texture than
worn by an ordinary coolie.
Instead of asking the usual ques-
tons as to age, occupation, ETC., the
following dialogue ensued:
Q.-What is your name2
A.-Sell Lung.
Q.-Do you live in San Francisco?
Ayes.
Q.-YOu sabe God?
AIR. Attorney, if you mean do I
understand the entity of our Creator, /
will simply reply that on Thursday
evening next l shall address the State
Ministerial association upon the sub
iect of the Divinity Of Christ, and shall
be pleased if you will attend.
To the day of his death the celebrat-
ed lawyer will never escape the ques-
ton: do you 'sabe God?'-Case and

HONESTY The RULE
so SAYS MANAGER OF NICKEL
IN-sLoT RESTAURANT.
Most People Refuse 20 Cheat the
Place When They Get the Chance,
But One Obtained Extra
Coffee.

If there is any place where 1t would
be supposed the chances for cheating
had been reduced to a minimum it Is
the restaurant where you drop q
nickel in the slot and buy your dinner
in the same way that you get stick
of gum on a subway platform. But
according to the manager of one OF
these places customers can get more
than they are entitled to under GER
tain conditions.
"See that fellow over thereT he
said. "He's beat. Watch him. He
puts his cup under the coffee spout
and then walks to the furthest corner
to get a knife, fork and spoon. Why 3
because there's always a little trickle
running from the spout, and by the
time he comes back he's got two
spoonfuls of coffee in his cup before
he even puts In his nickel.
"Result: he gets his cup filed up
right to the brim instead of up to
within half an inch. Sometimes he
even has a little overflow in his sau-
GER His theory is that every little
bit added to what you pay for makes
just little bit more.
"But you'd be surprised at the num-
ber of honest people there are. The
other night man came up to me.
"'I want to get piece of custard
pie he says, and every one of the
doors is wide open. I can get all the
pie want, but can't drop my nickel
in
"Sure enough, the boy who fills the
pie shelves had failed to close the
doors tight enough to lock them. Ev-
cry compartment was wide open. And
every one was filled; no pie missing
at ALL 1 had the locks sprung, and
then this man put in his coin, turned
the handle and took his piece of pie in
the regular way.
''But the best little Diogenes Of
them all was fellow I saw this very
night. He comes up to me with a
plate of macaroni in one hand and a
nickel in the other.
"'Here's a jitney belongs to youy'
he tells me. 4 put it in the slot and
got my dish, but the jit fell out the
return slot again. What'n I do with
it?
"They don't come any honester than
that, guess"

are large advertisers, using religious.
agricultural and other journals, sup
plementing these with catalogues ana
circulars. Every dollar that is sent
away to the distant city decreases the
volume of business of some local NOR
chant. However, the same means Oh
bringing about an increase, that OF ad-
vertising, is open to him just as to the
big mail order house. If the local
merchant fails to impress the consul
mers in his field, or section from which
he draws his business, with the fact
that he not only sells certain lines OF
merchandise but sells merchandise of
quality and at reasonable prices, then
he has no one but himself to blame If
the out-of-town merchants gets his bu-
siness.
The Advertiser has always practiced
and preached trading at home. Every
dollar kept in the community is a ben
eft not alone to the local merchant
but to the entire community. However,
in this day of progress and enterprise,
the local merchant who, to use COM
mon expression, goes to sleep on the
lob, will have out-of-town merchants
make large inroads into his business.
If he is lacking in the ''get-up-and-
get" spirit. he should blame no cne
but himself.

The Youngest Child Taken.

The inexpressibly sad death of
Edward Bomar Blalock, the eleven
year-old son of Rev. and Mrs. 2. P.
Blalock, was great shock to the
community. Several days before
Christmas Bomar had an attack OF
appendicitis and early last week he
was carried to a hospital in Sumter,
where he underwent an operation
Wednesday, December 81. The
disease had so far advanced, how
ever, that the operation failed to
save hi. life. He died Sunday al
ternoon about one o'clock and his
body was brought to Edsefeld
Monday and inferred in the family
square in the village cemetery. The
funeral Was held III the Presbyte-
rian church, being conducted by
Dr.. Z. Pendleton Jones.
Domars parents aud his sisters,
Mrs. Lndy J. Blakelv and Mrs. w.
:. Boyd were with him at the hos
pital and accompanied the BODY to
Edee6eld. Everything possible
known TO science and skill wds done
to save this young lie. but for come
reason, which finite vision can net
discern, God took him out OF this
world. The Divine plan in bis short
life was completed on earth and he
was taken to that upper realm. DO
mar was widely beloved aud his
death also caused profound sorrow
among the children, boys and i IS,
of the community, and esl aciallv

Mail Order Houses.

The volume of business of mail order
houses is steadily increasing. They
have been astute enough to use, in
every possible way, the parcel post to
swell the volume of their business. IN
one day, just prior to the holidays, one
mail order house alone of Chicago turn
ed over to the post office of that city
10000 sacks of mail, paying thereon
s26, in postage, This large sum
was paid however by the patrons of
the house all over the country and not
by the mercantile establishment itself.
The consumer always pays the freight
in one form or another.
The secret of the success of mail or
uder houses is advertising. All of them
