ORANGEBURG COTTON BURNS
Second Big Cotton Fire Destroys 800
Bales Christmas Night

Orangeburg's second cotton fire
within a few weeks Saturday night
destroyed about 300 bales and part of
the building of the Orangeburg Bond
ed Warehouse Company in that city.
The loss of approximately s50,000, ex-
elusive of the building, is said to be
covered by insurance. Several freight
cars on a siding were also destroyed
by the flames, but the Standard Oil
Company's tanks and the plant of the
Southern Cotton Oil Company, nearby.
were saved.
Christmas fireworks is supposed to
have been the cause of the fire, the
blaze appeared to have its beginning
on a side Of the warehouse which
was not provided with fire walls. The
building had been left in an unfinish-
ed condition in the anticipation Of an
addition being built and had only
board walls where the flames started.
The other recent cotton fire was at
the fair grounds where cotton held by
the Orangeburg Marketing Associa-
ton was consumed.

in order to get supplies it is necessary
for our merchants either to withdraw
their deposits from our banks or to
borrow money to pay for them. In
either case the purchase Of these sup

of our banks, consequently at the

we find our banks all 3cluttered"

 The average expenditure in each di- rection should be found after the ac- counts have been kept for at least three weeks by adding the amount spent for any one item in that time and dividing by three
 Percentages are found by dividing the weekly income by 100 to find l per cent of the income, and dividing each average weekly expenditure by this l per cent This will show how the in come is apportioned
 ..The table of percentages" says Miss Furman, .'which has given the most comfort to most people, accorc1ng to the National League of Women Work CTS, is this:
 Rent, 20 per cent: clothing, 10 per cent: food, 90 per cent; improvement. 10 per cent: including recreation club dues. dental and medical care; operat- ing expenses, 15 per cent, carfare. laun- dry, etc; insurance and savings. To per cent.
 These are the proportions which have been found by long experience to work out the best in supporting a fam ily For an individual girl the propor- tions might be somewhat different.
 Suppose Mary, whose savings ave rage 3S cents a week. decides she wants  do it. If she compared her actual spending with the percentages recom- mended she will see that in proportion to her board and rent she is spending far too much on clothes. and somewhat too much on improvement and operat- ing expenses.

Official of Wall Street Bank Outlines Five Steps Necessary to Apportion Income

NEW YORK-Is there any way girl may spread her weekly wage to cover every swelling item more easily?
 What percentages of her earnings should a girl spend on different things in order to make dollar go the furthest?
 These questions were put. to Miss Virginia D. H. F'urman, recently elected assistant secretary of the Columbi Trust company of New York. Miss Furman, at the time of her elction, was the first woman to hold an official bank position. She has charge of the special interests of the banks women clients, thus embodying a new and valuable idea in banking management, by estab- fishing confidential contact between the bank and it's women customers.
 Budget Necessary
 Every. girl should keep a budget. replied Miss F'urman. That sounds like a fussy way of making a hard job harder, but it doesn't The budget League of Women Work in which am interested, is simple way for q girl to control her spending instead of letting her spending control her.
 ''There are five steps in making a budget.
 ''First-Keep accurate weekly ac- counts of your spending.
 .Second-Find your average weekly expenditure in each direction.
 ''Third-Find what proportion of your total weekly income is spent in each direction.
 ''Fourth-Study other peoples ex- perience to find what proportions they have spent in each direction to get the most comfort and most savings from their income.
 ''F'ifth-Decide at the beginning of the week what proportion of your in- come you will spend in each direction.
 An easy way, suggested by Miss Furman to keep weekly accounts is to take a cheap-lined copy book and down the left edge of a page list under each other the various things for which money is spent. Along the top. above

JAPANESE LEGENDS

 Many myths have been woven about the national flower Of Japan. the chrysanthemum. Kiku is the Japanese name for it.
 "EIixir of Life"
 One old legend tells about a Chinese king who learned that in an island far east of his kingdom a beautiful flower grew which yielded the elixir of life But only the pure hearted could touch it. otherwise it would lose it's marvel ous qualities. This prevented the king and his court from attempting to find the rare plant
 Found by Pure of Heart
 The king followed the suggestion of one of his sages and sent 300 youths and maidens in search of the unknown island The quest for the chrysanthe- mum which was to bring perpetual youth to the king and his court, was led by the old sage. They found the island. and the wise man set up king dom there with himself as king and for many centuries all lived happily and well. The island was Japan.
