NATIONAL HABITS CHANGE.
Variances Shown In the Articles of
hardware Called For.


hardware Called For.
Few things are more illustrative
of the great changes going on in
the social and economic life of the
nation than the changes in the use
of the things of the hardware bust
ness. Nowadays the story of sani-
tation and cleanliness is reflected in
the fact that every little hardware
store in every village carries a line
of bathroom fixtures, since both
small town people and farmers are
freely given to the use of running
water.
The growing use of the modern
coal oil stove, the kitchen sink and
the increasing demand for pipe fix
lures and plumbing appliances tell
of the revolt Of the overworked
housewife in rural districts for the
comforts and conveniences of the
kitchen. The increasing demand
for the electrical iron and the wash
ing machine hints at the wornout
patience of the laundress on blue
Mondays, so that these labor saving
devices may make her lot easier and
increase her comfort.
The falling off in the sale of foot
scrapers indicates the prevalence of
good roads and concrete sidewalks.
Even the growing demand for coat
and trousers hangers confirms the
general observation of a better
dressed and neater people.
Edge tools nowadays must not
only have quality, but style as well,
since carpenters and mechanics are
growing in intelligent appreciation.
The steadily decreasing sale Of
bowie knives and revolvers hints at
the passing of the bully and the
''bad man" in all save the slums of
the congested centers.
The fast spreading intelligent
cultivation of great fruit and gar
den truck areas finds echo in the
steadily swelling sales of tree prun-
ers, garden tools and spraying ma
chimes, while the growth in pleas
ure loving assemblies and social
functions is told in the eager de-
mand for casseroles, coffee perco-
lators, silverware and all the deco
rative appurtenances of the table.

Pool Hall Suggestion for
Ladies and Gentlemen

Every community should pro-
vide a place for the accommo-
dation of loafers. And when
we say loafers we mean no i'll
respect towards any person. We
are all loafers at times and
while loafing we want a place
to loaf.
1t has been suggested that a
nice pool hall properly managed
would pay in Snowflake. 1t
would provide a place to while
away the loafiing hours and GER
tainly be appreciated by our
younger set, as we'll as visitors
and travellers.
Objection to pool halls come
mainly because of the habit of
vile language usually h e a I'd
about them. 1t occurs to us
that the way to dignity and
purify pool halls of that evil is
to open them for admission to
ladies as we'll as for gentlemen.
At most all pleasure resorts pool
halls are provided for ladies
where whole families engage in
the sport.
Playing pool is a recreation
that carries with it intellectual
development. The science of
the game embraces many angles
of thought and mathematical wit.
Young people will get to-
gether and their gatherings
would be mutual, recreative and
beneficial.
To our way of thinking play
ing pool is elevating, and the
evil influences, whatever they
may be, can be prevented by
admitting ladies on an equal
footing with gentlemen.
The idle brain, so said, is the
devils workshop. Maybe so.
At any rate, idle moments can
be made enjoyable and profitable
because we must have a certain
portion of recreation in order to
be happy, prosperous and wise.

1t Is Time to Prune
Fruit and Shade Trees

Pruning season is now here.
Trees have the habit of growing
too much top and it is up to US
to prune them.
BY pruning fruit trees accord
ing to scientific methods we get
more and better fruit and help
the trees to live longer.
Shade trees should be regu-
larly trimmed. They do better
and look better. Shade trees
are for comfort and beauty. In
many respects shade trees fur
nish the index to the thrift and
progress Of a home, town or
city.
Then, too, smudging time will
come in the early spring, and if
we prune our fruit and shade
trees now we will have plenty
of brush to burn on frosty nights.
Thus we can utilize our tree
trimmings to good advantage
and certain profit.
Let's make a note of this and
get busy.

Peculiar Table Customs.

In a book entitled domestic
Manners of the Middle Ages" we
are told that in those days dinner
tables were covered by "nappe,"
or tablecloth. Upon it were placed
a saltcellar and bread and cups for
wine, but no knives or plates. The
reason for the absence of the knives
arose from the common practice IN
vogue Of people carrying their ewn
knives in a sheath attached to their
girdle. In an early work written
by Lydgate, "Rules For Behavior at
Table," the guests are told to bring
no knives unsecured to the table,
which can only mean that each one
was to keep his own knife-that is
the one he carried with him-clean.

Needed the Money Badly.

A newspaper man Of Washington
was approached one morning by
friend who wanted to borrow S..
The newspaper man, assuming an
expression of great sorrow, pulled
20 cents out of his pocket and re-
marked:
'G'm sorry, old man, but you've
struck me just before pay day, and
Pm broke"
Having made this crafty excuse,
he, mentally speaking, pinned a
gold medal on himself for having
evaded the prospective borrower.
"When is your pay day?" asked
the friend.
"Tomorrow afternoon" replied
the newspaper man.
"All right" said the friend. 1'll
come around then"
And he did.

A young man unhappily married and

What Malta was like before the

But somewhere in the dawn of his

scnious race and proceeded to make
the best OF it, They have been doing
that all down the centuries. till now
they have reduced it to a fine art. and
the barren rock is garden from end
to end.
They realized. those clever Maltese,
that, although they might not have
earth enough to grow their food, there
were plenty of people who had enough
and TO spare. SO they sent their ships
abroad. and the ships came back load

they took and spread on the lodges of
