Obviously economy il our only hope Of
making our shrunken dollars go round.
DR.. Henry van Dyke, in a letter to Miss
Strauss, says that the people of the United
States are partly responsible for the high
cost Of living. because SO many Of us eat
more than is necessary, spend our money
unwiscly, aud do not put in an honest
days work. la conclusion DIR. van Dyke
says.
THE display Of extlayagance in dress.
which may be seen 10 9lI Of our great
cities, is not only an exhibition OF folly.
but also a direct lncitement to envy and
unrest among the poor The latter, how
ever, show that their objections 10 this
kind Of display are moi truly philosophical
by initiating il themselves Us soon as they
get 0 little more money IL is in fact i
top5y-turvy world III which We live The
only prospect Of lettering it, So lar as 1
can see, is through gene,al return TO
plain living and high thinking This
cannot be accomplished by Legislation.

PORTS OF SOUTHEAST

Atlanta, July 2.-The assurance of
the United States Shipping Board has
been given through its chairman, Ad-
miral Benson, to U. S. Senator Will
liam J. Harris, it was stated here to-
day, that the board will at all times
give thoughtful consideration to the
requests of the South Atlantic ports
for the assignment of tonnage to pro-
tect their increasing volume of bust
ness.
The shipping board was requested
to allocate several wooden vessels to
Brunswick and Savannah to handle
lumber shipments to Cuba, and the
assignments have been made to the
ports by the shipping board. The vol
,ume Of business will govern the num-
Der of ships.
The appointment of B. A. Harnett
as director of the new South Atlantic
district of the shipping board with
headquarters at Savannah means that
the organization of the new district
has begun. Rumors were prevalent a
few days ago that Savannah would
lose the headquarters, but Senator
Harris conferred with Admiral Ben
son just before leaving Washington,
and was assured that Savannah would
be the active headquarters and the Or
gan1zat1on begun immediately.

SHOULD GET ANOTHER BEAU
Little Probability That Hooser Girl
Will Ever Eradicate Stingy Streak
From Present One.

The stingiest young man has been
discovered and he is Hoosler too
living In Terre Haute, says the In
dianapOlis News. He has long been
termed a chair-warmer by the family
of the girl whom he h0nors with his
company, for he has never taken her
to a show-even moving picture one.
AS for candy and flowers, well he has
not sent or brought any of either.
AS he seemed to be really nice the
girl decided that perhaps he was green
that he needed little hint. SO the
other night she decided to give him
one. After he had occupied about an
hour of her time and also of her ia
theirs heat and electric light, she said
"Oh, I'm so hungry for candy. VIII
you go to the drug store with me so
that I can get some"
He rose to show his willingness, and
the girl was delighted, believing that
her plan was going to work. But when
the drug store was reached and the
candy was bought, he displayed no In
tention of paying the bill. SO, of
course, she had to do it herself.
Furious at him and the whole world,
too, she carried the box home and put
1t, still in its vrappings, on the piano
in the living room. And all the rest
Of the evening she tortured him by
talking of the JOY she would have on
the morrow when she ate the candy.
